AnglO-Americans Determine On Just German Peace

NnW YORn, (A)-oecreIary or States James F. Byrnes and Brit Ao.. 4orS-elI sScretofy --.neS. DeV4n today were reported determined to avoid what they consider the mis- taxes of the Paris peace confer ence SySLem when IC comes to drafting a peace settlement for Germany.
 Against the indicated opposi- tion of Soviet foreign minister ". M. Molotov both the western power ministers were authorita- lively described as ready to insist on the fullest possible hearing for small nations on the German set clement before the foreign minis ,eS council makes any decision at all.
 The issue was scheduled for dis cussion and possible decision in the council session late today as foreign ministers began their last scheduled week of meeting here. Also slated for discussion soon was Byrnes' proposal to cut Euro pean occupation forces by 62J,000 men before April |.
 Meanwhile Big-Four sUbordin- ates are working out minor dis puted points of the peace treaties for Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bull garia and Finland but not for month will these be ready for signing.
 At their last session th'c week Bevin and Molotov are scheduled to sal on the Queen Fl'zabeth Sat urday-the Big Four are supposed to decide when they will hold their next meeting.

Republican Or Democrat?

WASHINGTON, (R) - The Re- publican House leadership faces this question: when is Democrat Republican?
 The problem arose in connec- ton with six California Congress men, registered as Democrats, but who won both the Democratic and Republican nominations in the June primary.
 They are Representative Lea, Engle, Miller, Holifield, Elliott and King.
 What the Republican leadership has to decide is whether these self-admitted Democrats are en- titled to sit in on the Republican party caucus on Jan. 2, to choose a speaker of the House, Republi- can floor leader and other major ity party officials for the 80th Congress beginning the following day.

Russia Renegs On
 Count Of "TrOOps At HOme''

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y. (P)- Russia unexpectedly refused early today to accept a proposal for a United Nations inventory of armed troops at home.
 In a surprise move, Soviet for eign minister V. M. MolotoV de- manded deletion of a home troop census from a resolution already approved by the powerful 54- member LIN. polictical committee.
 His action, taken at assembly plenary sessions at Flushing Mea- dow Park, threatened to reopen the whole question of troop dispo- Stions.
 Previously, at the committee stage, Molotov had agreed to talk , ing census of both domestic forces and those on foreign soil.
 Molotov tossed today's verbal bombshell into the assembly a few seconds after Sir Hartley Shaw cross of Great Britain asked the world peace-keeping body to es- tablish inspection board to verify figures submitted by member na- tions in the troop inventory.
 Delegates who had come to the session prepared to debate the British plan were so surprised and unprepared for Molotov's action that the plenary session was re- cessed until tomorrow.

PORTLAND, Ore. (P- Cargo for the Alaskan relief ship Reef Knot, due to sail for the northern territory Saturday, was being piled up on the dock today.
 It. Comdr. E. P. Chester, the Alaskan governors aide who came here to arrange the relief ship ment, said that loading would be- gin as soon as sufficient cargo is ready on the docks. Some freight cars are still expected in.
 With the Seattle maritime strike settled, this ship will be the only one to sail from here to Alaska. Chester said it should be loaded and ready to depart by Saturday. It will stop at Cordova, Valdez, Seward, Seldovia, and Kodiak.
 Chester said settlement of the Seattle area strike would mean real relief for the Alaska peo- pie" He said he would ask Seattle shipping interests to make loading gangs available to rush north bound ships but said the huge backlog of work would mean only the most vital cargoes would move in the first few ships.

For our fish to blast aground. That sure as "a suIbman's dream"
 all right: All our fish ran true that night, As Nip shore guns boomed, destroy
 CTS milled Tn white shafts of each search
 light. We fought like hell divers gone
 stark mad, On surface and down below. We'd dodge, and swing and then
 "crash fast' Just to get in another blow: We'd "blow all ballast" and surface
 swift To deck-gun their smaller craft; Use our bow tubes first, and then
 swap ends To throw fish from both tubes
 aft. We swerved hard-a-port, to dodge
 the crash Of destroyer about to ram, And the stablizer fin along our Ripped wide open that Nip tim
 can. Another sped up off our starboard
 bow
 And took shells from our 3-inch
 gun, And we emptied machine guns and
 side arms too, So close was the furious fun. Their depth charge attack now got
 too hot, So, submerged, we pulled our
 stunt That had us bottomed across the
 bay,
 And left the damn Nips to their
 hunt. When the Japs bombed in pattern
 all next day, We lay doggo-let no man speak; But, we wondered lot if our oth-
 CT subs Made it through in time to sneak. The next night found US again at
 full tide Scraping over that low hung reef; And, hull dented and scared and seams a-leak, We made it-heads bowed with
 grief. But our three subs left at Rabaul
 that night, Made a score that will always
 stand High in the annals of submarine strife, Second to none of ''The Silent"
 band.

 The RabauI Melee
By Ralph R. Shaw

Due south of the BiSmark island chain
 Where the rip tides spout white
 spray, Ringed around by jagged coral
 reefs
 Lie Rabaul, in big Jap bay. Huge guns 1eer down from high
 cliff holes, Shores bristle those of lighter
 class, And sea lanes are sealed by nets of That never a sub can pass. Just few of our wide flung sub-
 marines
 Wed eased up through "The
 Slot"; A narrow strait snafu with NipS, A tough spot, if we were caught Lacking room to dodge, we crept along
 Passing many sure targets by, To meet on the fringe of the coral
 reefs At Rabaul, meath jet black sky. At this time, the Japs were in full
 stride,
 Their planesTright on the beam; And this harbor held a hundred
 ships.
 Twas a trap-but a submans
 dream. Sure rugged job for our four subs: Triton, Grampus, and Amberjack; And our Grayback alone had all
 the luck
 At the end of this night attack. The sky was empty of moon and
 stars,
 AS the surge of full high tide Tore the dark apart in white
 spune
 Through which our ships must
 ride Twas a night when Neptune gave
 us wings,
 And We surely were surf-borne; For as coral fangs slid underneath, Not sub of ours was torn. We each picked a different hunt
 ing-course ... Then, the time for attack came
 around, As we spotted the berths of larger
 ships
