President Roosevelt, as a result of
Crimea Conference decisions, will
submit to the Senate six or more
treaties relating to the general prob
lens of shaping and preserving the
peace.
Three principal treaties will deal
with establishing the postwar world
security organization At least three
more will concern the liquidation
of the European and Pacific wars.
The subject of treaties was promi-
nently projected by Mr.. Roosevelt in
his report to Congress on the Yalta
meeting. The Chief Executive said
various treaties will be submitted for
ratification but he specifically men
toned only one-that dealing with
the world security organization.
At his news conference yesterday
the President was asked several
questions about what further pro-
posals the Big Three had in mind

yards of terrain stood today be-

cut the last interconnecting Jap

But it was rugged stretch, by
anybody's definition. 1t sloped ir-
regularly downward to a cliff which
probably will serve as the last
stand of the Japanese.
Between the Marine outpost and
the cliff runs a system of half
underground enemy defense works
which, like others the Marines have
faced in the last 10 days, must be
taken the hard way. And the
japanese are beginning to show
signs of desperation.
May Cut Jap Line.
The Sd Division Marines, under
Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine,
lunged forward 700 yards yesterday
to seize a 362-foot hill in the north
ern part of the island, within rife
range of the cliff, and in position to
cut the curving japanese line in
two.
The American advance formed a
salient pointing toward the inside
of the bend. The cliff, running
along the northeastern shore. is
about 500 yards in from the water
line.
Once the Japanese back up be-
yond the cliff they will be in the
open, between the Marines and the
sea, and they no longer will have
the advantage of connecting strong
points.
The 4th Division Marines, on the
right flank of the Sd, also inched
forward a little after having been
stopped for five days by ferocious
enemy fire To the left of the Sd
Division, the 5th Marines also ad-
vanced, but met the largest-scale

also that weather conditions in the

the plane-presumably the four-en-

Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky's
I'd White Russian units were cutting
their way through great numbers of

vainly to check the Soviet drive to

The Russian plan appears to be

This operation has been so sue
