DOG STORY

And it is Phil Silvers' tale about
one of those women of the sort who
carry Pekingese. She was carrying
one around in Hollywood depart
ment store. The dog was thirsty, it
seems, so she walked over and gave
him a drink at the sanitary foun-
tain.
A walker, aghast. said to her
timidly: Madam, I'm afraid our
customers would not want to drink
out Of that fountain after your
dog"
"Oh," said the woman, taken a.
back. L beg your pardon. 1 thought
it was for the clerks"

Mexico City Conference
Moves To Solidify Wes-
tern Nations

MEXICO, March 4. = Up - The
Inter-American Conference moved
today to fill in the last remaining
blanks in a new and mutual good
neighbor policy - supported by
the force of twenty. nations.
The three important subjects on
which delegates yet have to eX-
press their final views are Argen-
tina, Dumbarton Oaks. and an
economic charter for the Amer
icas. Indications are that all three
will be disposed Of smoothly.
It now appears tnat the confer
ence will come out with a state
ment on Argentina tomorrow, al
though there is a small possibility
that official silence will be main
tanned on this subject.
The statement IS expected to
provide for eventual Argentina
signature of the Mexico City re-
solutions. Several delegates have
said informally, however, that
thew would not permit Argentine
adherence until Buenos Aires gives
proof it would be much more than
an empty gesture.
One official said he would ask
that the American republics, agree
to consult together before a definite
invitation to sign the resolutions of
the conference is given Argentina.
Sincere adoption of the principles
and pledges laid down here, it is
felt. would mean Argentina's re-
turn to the hemisphere family.

The Japanese staged a daylight
counterattack in the Fifth Division
sector but the Marines cut them
down with the loss of several hum

Nimitz said the Japanese dead

that it is believed no more thar

able to fight.
However, the Japanese have now
been compressed into such small
area along the northern and east

enemy bastion that they are still
able to bring to bear a terrific con-
centration of small arms fire on
the advancing Americans. -sss-
Eighty-one prisoners, of whom
As were Koreans and So Japanese,
have been captured in the fighting
for the tiny rocky island.
The Japanese counter-attack on
March left the lines substantial

Enemy resistance, Nimitz said,
was stiffening in all sectors and
small arms fire was mounting.
Hand to hand fighting was in pro-
gress in the Fifth Marine Division
zone of action where the ground
is rough and naturally suited to
defensive operations.
The southern airfield on Two il
ma came under scattered artillery
fire during the day, but evacuation
planes continued to land and take
off.
Guns of the U. S. fleet off Two

WASHINGTON, March 4.-(P)-
President Roosevelt has assured
Senator Vandenberg R.-Mich.) OF
freedom of action at the world Sc
curity conference and Vandenberg
is expected to accept an invitation
to become a delegate.
An authoritative source said
today the Presidents assurances
that there are no strings attached
to service on the American delega-
ton to the San Francisco meeting,
were conveyed in letter to the
chairman of the Senate Republican
Conference.
Vandenberg, who has declined
comment, repeatedly told friends
he will make an announcement OF
his position early this week. That
announcement is expected to signal
his acceptance of a place on the
United States delegation of eight.
The San Francisco meeting, be-
ginning April Is, is intended to
complete, and formally set up,
the world peace machinery out
lined in the Dumbarton Oaks Con-
ference here.
Vandenberg's statement may
come in the form of comment by

LONDON, March 3.-UP)-De-
flying some of the worst flying
weather of the winter, American
heavy bombers attacked rail OBJ
jectives throughout southwestern
Germany today, and strong force
of Raj Lancasters struck a heavy
blow at rail yards at Wanne-Eickel
only few miles from one of the
still intact bridges over the Rhine.
Big bombers of the 15tA Air
Force in Italy joined in the Goth
straight day of the round-the-clock
air offensive with another mission
in direct support of the Russian
armies. They blasted two big rail
functions in Hungary through
which German supplies pass en-
route to Nazi troops fighting the
Soviets above Lake Balaton and
to the south, between Vienna and
Budapest.
More than 1000 Flying Fortresses
and Liberators of 1t. Gen. James
H. Doolittle's Eighth Air Force, es-
corted by more than 500 fighters,
set out for the fiveway rail center
of Ulm and other detectives in

proximatelv 900 of them got
through to their targets. ..a
But some of the formations met
thick clouds almost as soon as they
passed over the English Channel,
and were forced to return to their
bases. AS result OF the unusually
bad weather, almost no opposition
