ALLIES IMPROVE
FRONT in ITALY

ROME, Feb. 90 U.H Fifth
Army troops on the left flank of
the front in a day Of extensive
patrolling activity have "improv-
ed their positions" in the rugged
hill country west of the Pistola-
Bologna road, an Allied Head
quarters cornmunique announced
today.
In the central sector Of the front
due south of Balogne, German
raiding parties attempting to
pierce Allied lines were repulsed
by strong artillery fire. Raids
were directed against Monte Bel
monte, nine miles south Of Bolog-
ma, and against the village Of Piz-
zano, four miles east of Monte
Belmonte.
Preceded by an exceptionally
heavy mortar and artillery bar
rage a German raiding party
crossed to the east bank of the
Senio river and attacked clus-
ter of fortified houses just east
of Fusignano. Defending Eighth
Army units, recovering quickly,
repulsed the raid. A second de-
ternined enemy attack against
Allied positions at Cotignola was
| beaten off.

dictated in some foreign quarters
Insead, he went by motor to Sc
vastopol, bombed out Crimear
port across the tip Of the Crimear
peninsula from Yalta; flew te
Egypt for conferences aboard a
warship in the Suez Canal with
King Farouk Of Egypt, Emperor
Halle Selassie of Ethiopia, q
King 1bn Saud and then started
home via Algiers, his last stopping
place.
No dates were given in the Of.
fetal summary for security rea.
sons Reporters were asked not to
speculate on tn e President s
whereabouts or when he may ar
rive home. The summary, howev.
er, indicated the President took
about six days to get to Algiers
after leaving Yalta, where the Big
Three meeting concluded Febru-
airy II.
Of the Churchill meeting, the
statement said:
Mr.. Churchill told the Presi-
dent in blunt words that his gov
eminent was determined to throw
everything it had at the Japs as
soon as Germany has been defeat
ed and, meanwhile, would do all
it could to strengthen its forces
already engaged in that conflict. "
The announcement confirmed Of
ficially for the first time reports
from abroad that de Gaulle, head
of the French provisional govern
ment, and the President could not
arrange meeting.
American Ambassador Jefferson
Caffery presented the President S
invitation for the Algiers meeting
to de Gaulle six days before Mr..
Roosevelt's arrival in the Algerian
city.
I'm his message" the announce
ment said, 1.-The President told the
general he hoped very much to
meet him in continental France,
but that time pressure made it
impossible to get to Paris much
as he would like to do so.
He again expressed war m
thanks for the invitation the gov
eminent Of France extended him
when he was in Quebec attend
ing the last conference there.
LAS dispatched from Yalta, the
Presidents invitation concluded
with an expression of real hope
that the alternative proposal for
a meeting in Algiers would be sat-
lsfactory to the French leader.
THE President was most disap-
pointed when advised that official
business did not permit the gener-
al to come to Algiers."

Hitler's rearmament of Germany
would have been noted and re-
ported by inspectors working for
a World Council of 10 men, COM
posed of two members each from
Britain, Russia and the United
States, one each from China,
France and the Middle East and
the rest from smaller states, each
elected at home for six years. The
council would have applied for a
Writ of War Emergency from a
World Court, another Is men chos-
en- for life by the same lineup of
nations.
Issued a writ, the Council could
have thrown into the Third Reich
Mobile Corps of highly trained,
stringently selected, college-prepar-
ed soldiers drawn by regiment
from the worlds smallest states
and loyal only to the Council. They
would represent % per cent of
the worlds total military power
both in numbers and in the arms
production backing them.
If they were not enough, another
II per cent of the world army could
be mobilized-the armed force and
armament-industry Of one OF the
three Great Powers, the USSR.
Britain or the United States. Or
the percent allowed France. or
the q percent allowed Poland, since
each nation under the Culbertson
system would be allowed a small
force for its own initial defense,
not enough for aggression. All
weapons would be standardized by
international control, as well as be-
ing limited in their production by
recurrent inspection of plants.
A world president, elected for
six years by one member nation, to
be succeeded by a president from
the next nation in alphabetical
order when he retired, would exer-
else limited power over the whole
set-up.
In response to a question from
the audience, Mr.. Culbertson COM
pared his system with that outlined
at Dumbarton Oaks, which he call
ed tragic hoax, since it is arm
ed with false teeth, fit only to
bite very small offenders and i'm
modified by single Great Power
veto, even in the interest of ag-
erosion.
Mr.. Culbertson was introduced
by Rabbi M. M. Thurman, who
paid tribute subsequently to Mrs.
Louis Orrel and Mrs. T. r. Smith
for their efforts on behalf of the
Forum which made it possible tc
present Mr.. Culbertson as speaker.
Mr.. Culbertson will address the
students of New Hanover High
school today at 10 a. m.

LOCAL RED CROSS
PLANS FUND WORK

The Wilmington Chapter OF the
American Red Cross yesterday set
up War Fund headquarters in the
lobby of the Tide Water Power Co.
building at Princess and Second
streets, it was announced by Robert
Strange. campaign chairman.
A goal of $88, 900, an increase OF
$4,000 over last years objective
was set, Strange said. The in
creased goal, was set because OF
the stepped-up need of the National
Red Cross due to increased activity
on the war fronts. The national
goal of $3.50, 900, 900 set in Novem-
Der, has been increased to $2Ooooo,-
900, the campaign chairman said,
and the burden Of raising the ad-
ditional S20,O0O,0O0 has been distrf
buted throughout the country.
To give the public an idea OF
what work their contributions do'
Red Cross authorities pointed to
the briefly summarized charter
obligations of the Red Cross:
One to furnish volunteer aid to
the sick and wounded of the mill
tary branches in time of war. Two
to act as a medium of communica-
ton between the people OF the
United States and their Army and
Navy. Three to mitigate the sui
ferings caused by pestilence,
famine, fire flood, and devise
means of prevention. Four, to sub
NIT an annual report to Congress
with accounts audited by the War
Department.
70 carry out these obligations,
many blood donor centers, Red
Cross Clubmobiles and other clubs,
hospital services, prisoner OF war
services. home services, volunteer
services, relief services, and many
more organizations have been sci
up by the Red Cross, authorities
said. OF the money raised during
the campaign in this area, approx
mately two-thirds will 60 to the
National Fund, and the remainder
will be used for home service work,
Strange said.
During the next two or three
weeks the time at the headquarters

1--WE Americans have no choice
Ely Culbertson, noted bridge ana
world peace expert told a Com
rnunitv Forum audience IN ina
Ian Hall last night. I'VE must
conquer war or we must conquer
the world, and we cannot conquer
the world
To conquer war, he told them,
mankind has been impotent until
now. but technical advancement
in war making has furnished the
KEY to permanent peace. only
six years ago did he himself come
to see the practically Of world
organization.
The key to peace and the basis
for his scheme of international
organization, which he calls the
.eTotal Peace Plan" he explained,
lies in the fact that vast plants
and enormous resources are nee
essary to the production of mod
ern war machinery. No elgn-
teenth century blacksmith now
can arm a secret army with mus
kets as effective as those pos
sessed by a government force.
Critics are sticks and airplanes
and tanks cannot be built IN
secret. Hence control of heavy
armament production can become
routine, once it is made someone S
business to control it.
To take advantage of this de-
velopment and to do away with
the present Jungle society" OF
nations, dominated by fear and
distrust and unprotected by law,
he told his audience that espousal
b ythe United States of a plan
like Total Peace was necessary.
To the United States he would
accord the leadership because of
its Temporary overwhelming SUI
periority in military might.
He cautioned against isolation
ist dependence in this current
might without backing by inter
national organization, however.
American industrial progress is
behind our battle-poWer, he said.
In another quarter-century, with
the incredibly rapid spread of in
dustrial technique, we will have
lost much of our lead. already
crowded by the Soviet Union. In
the interval, our undoubted pre-
dominance can be used by the
''American mothers and father"
of World War II and a possible
World War Ills draftees to avert
the menace forever.
Had his Total Peace plan
been in operation in 1888, he said,
American and Allied youths would
not now be dying overseas. This
