Clement r. Attlee, Britain's new
Prime Minister, was due back, ac-

future of Germany and of devas-

No Change in Policy Seen.
There was no official announce

conference, but the feeling prevailed
that it would be concluded some
time next week, at the latest.
Despite the surprise here at the
overwhelming defeat of the Church

Confidence was expressed that the
change in government would mean
no change in British foreign policy.

Couple Dies in Crash

A veteran Marine pilot on a
night flight to increase his fly

today when his plane crashed
into the side of mountain on a
farm about miles southwest of
Bluemont, Va.
The pilot, Capt. Fred c. Ochoa, a

Thomas Costain's new novel has

remote from reality. Blood and

tanned Throughout a story that
moves SO swiftly you never really

Walters dual love for Engaine and

SO does the little matter of his
