London, June 11-(UP)-Paris dispatches said Harry L. Hopkins left suddenly for Washington today without seeing Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
 First reports of Hopkins depart ure from Paris lacked an eXplana- ton of the failure of President Tru- mans special envoy to meet De- Gaulle. Earlier accounts said they were scheduled to confer in Paris and probably would take up the Levant problem.
 An exchange telegraph dispatch said Hopkins had to leave for Washington without seeing De- Gaulle."
 In Beyrouth, Sir Edward Grigg, British resident-minister for the Middle East, defended Britain's conduct in the Levant crisis.
 A great deal has been said in the highest quarters of France which will not bear impartial in- vestigation," he said. All this must delay settlement because 1t shows complete misunderstanding, not only of the British action, but also of the true situation in Levant."

Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgom- cry, commander of British occupa- ton forces, told the German peo- pie that British troops had been forbidden to fraternize with them because the Allies were determined to teach them once and for all that they had been baeten.
 "It will not always be like this," Montgomery said. We are Chris tian people that likes to forgive. We like to smile and be friendly. It is our aim to destroy the evil of the National Socialist system. It is too early to be certain that this aim has been attained"

 The 18th Army under It. Gen. Leonard Gerow, originally desig- mated as the American Army of Occupation, will cease operations soon after the official boundaries of the occupation zones have been announce, Stars and Stripes said.
 Thus the Third and Seventh Armies will remain in much of the territory they conquered in south west Germany. The 18th Army has been operating in the Ruhr and Rhineland. but these areas viii be turned over to British and French occupati armies.

 Replacements will be brought into the two armies to clear the way for those eligible for discharge.
 An announcement Saturday said the American Ninth Army will wind up its duties in Germany about June 15 and be given a new assign ment, presumably in the Pacific. The Ninth Army occupation zone will be taken over by the Russians and British.
 There was no mention made of the future of the 18th Army, new est of the American armies nj Europe, but it may be sent to the Pacific.

Hitler Daddy Of 2-R Report

London, June 11-(UP)--An un- confirmed Stockholm dispatch said today that two children-a boy and a girl-were born to Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun during their long illicit love affair.
 Hitler's 11th hour marriage to Eva just before Berlin fell was un- dertaken to legitimatize the chil- dren, the dispatch said. The mar riage first was reported by Mar shal Gregory K. zhukov, Soviet conquerer of Berlin, last Saturday.
 The Stockholm dispatch, which appeared in the London Daily EX- press said the children, the boy now five years old and the girl, four, were the object of wide spread search by American and British occupation forces.
 The dispatch said the story of the children was told by Erik Wess- len, who was attached to the Swed- ish legation in Berlin and was in close touch with Hitler's headquar- ters during the siege of the Nazi capital.

 Japanese broadcasts said other American planes kindled fires at two airfields in the Tokyo area to- day and, 83O miles to the southwest, joined 10 warships in lombard ment of Minami Daito Island Sun day.
 The Fist bomber command said photographs taken during the Eaid on Sukagawa, one of five objectives of 25O to 300 superfortresses Sunday, revealed extensive bomb coverage of the target.
 Results at the other four targets, ranged on a semi-circle around Tokyo, were believed equally good.
 They increased the destruction wrought in Urban and industrial areas of Japan by the B-29s to at least 926 square miles.
 Seventy planes, three battleships three cruisers and four destroyers attacked Minami Daito Sunday radio Tokyo said. The planes pre-. sumably came from New American bases on Okinawa, 200 miles to the west.
 Pacific fleet headquarters was si- lent on the report, but announced yesterday that a naval task force shaled Okino Daito, 120 miles south of Minani Daito, on Saturday.
 Today's raid on Japanese air. fields in the Tokyo area was made by 30 or more Iwo-based Mustang fighters and two B-29 Superfort- resses from 11:c) a. m. to 1920 p. m., the enemy said.

Washington, June 11-CUP)-A proposed world conference in Aus tralia on freedom of news was en- dorsed today by the American Soci- ety of Newspaper Editors on rec ommendation of three globe-cir- cling U. s. editorial leaders.
 The newspapermen reported yes- terday to ASNE directors on their 10000 mile tour during which they discussed freedom of the press and communications with most of the worlds political and military lead CTS.
 They said they found many gov- ernments controlling the press po- litically under the guise of war se- curity" and that foreign editors desired more press freedom than most nations have permitted.
 They reported that Russian news papermen are skeptical of the American conception of free press but that vice commissar of foreign affairs L. A. Lazovsky voiced will lingness to seek common ground for freer exchange of news and fuller mutual coverage.
 The ASNE-sponsored tour, start ed in January and completed last April, was made by Wilbur Forrest, assistant editor of the New York Herald-Tribune, Ralph McGill, ed- itor of the Atlanta Constitution, and Carl w. Alderman, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
 The main objective of the trip was to obtain in peace treaties a pledge from government mot to censor at the source, not to use the press as an instrument of national policy and to permit a free flow of news in and out of signatory coun- tries"

Mayor Monagan Plays
 COP. Pension Critics

The city's pension problem is be- ing developed into a game of po- litical battledore and shuttelecock" by Republican party leaders, Mayor John s. Monagan declared today in answer to the numerous criticisms, of the recent legislative bflf, made by various COP interests.
 In a statement released to the press today the Mayor accuses J.. Warren Upson, state central con- mitteeman of the COP and former Republican State Senator Francis Summa. of being blinded by "con- alterations of partisan advantage" to the pension needs of the city.
 The statement, coupled with re- cent actions of the Republican lead CTS, relative to the highly contested points of the bill gave all indica- tions today of being the official opening of the city's 1945 election campaign contest. Undoubtedly the bill will be one of the principal points of dispute this fall between both parties. This was greatly indi- cated by the attempts of the COP leaders to attach the referendum vote amendment to the bill in the Legislature.
 Says Upson Swayed
 T am sorry that the present leaders of the Republican Party in Waterbury, ex-Senator Summa and J. Warren Upson, have been SO far swayed by considerations of parti- san advantages as to try to turn the attempted settlement of our vital pension problem into a game of po- litical battledore and shuttlecock," the Mayor declared.
 AS reported here previously both MT. Upson and MT. Summa opposed the present bill and made last min ute attempts to have referendum amendment attached to it. The amendment phase of the bill was defeated in both the Democratic Senate and the COP dominated House.
 The bill was likewise bitterly op- posed by firemen and policemen here who asSail its terms as being too severe and penalizing' in such instances as length of service.
 Criticizing the aforementioned Republican leaders as lacking poll tical courage" the Mayor cites the fact that the original pension dis cussion arose from demands of William J. Pape d-the-scenes boss of the local COP party, made in 1943 before the state legislature.
 Tt is regrettable, the Mayor said today, that having brought the business so far, they have not
