FLAGSHIP TACONIC, Nov. l.
Combat patrols overhead today gave
the men in this amphibious train
ing force their first glimpse of what
promises to be an impressive air
show when advance units are landed
tomorrow on the beaches below
Panama City, Fla.
Our convoy of 10 ships was some
125 miles off the beaches shortly be-
fore noon today, with some 600 Army
engineers, Seabees, beach master
teams and specialists preparing to
go ashore in landing craft tomor-
row, along with a complete if en-
tirely mythical infantry assault
division.
Aside from the complex mixture
of real and imaginary troops, equip
ment and military situations, the
air show began to assume reality
with arrival of patrols today and
the possibility Of a sneak attack
by "aggressor" mustang fighters this
afternoon.

Another phase will be an air drop

Such information might mean a
last-minute shift in plans for land
ing the assumed infantry division
tomorrow and the very real troops
and heavy equipment of the I'd

Dignitaries expected to witness
the preliminary landing from the
beach tomorrow afternoon include

Former Diplomat Here
Reminds PremierHe
Owes Life 10 Manu-

The shifting political tide in Ro-
mania that has separated erstwhile
friends was illustrated dramatically
yesterday when former official of
the Romanian Legation here sent a
letter to Premier Petru Groza re-
minding him that he probably owes
his life to DR.. Juliu MANU-, the
Peasant Party leader, whom he now
is prosecuting on treason charges.
The communication was sent by
Pamf1l Riposanu, now of New York,
who resigned as counsellor of the
Romanian Legation several months
ago rather than become a member
of the Communist Party.
The letter recalled the time that
Mr.. Groza was in jail under the
Nazi-dominated Antonescu regime
in Romania, and DR.. Manu- came
to his assistance. Two of Mr.. Groza's
associates who were jailed with him
were executed.
Was Counsel for Groza.
Mr.. Riposanu was counsel for Mr..
Groza, an old friend.
LAS stood by you that time" Mr..
Riposanu wrote in asking that DR..
Manu- be spared, land visited you
many times clandestinely in the
Malmaison Prison, and at the same
time visited Mr.. Manu- nearly every
day during your arrest, r was in q
position to know the friendly and
untiring efforts made by Mr.. Manu-
for your liberation"
The writer recalled, too, that after
Mr.. Groza's release, he told the
Peasant leader:
"Mr. Manu-, no one and nothing
shall ever separate us in the future. -
DR.. Manu- is being tried with 18
supporters.
Says Nation Is on Bench.
"The placing Of Juliu MANU- on
the bench of the accused means i'm
plicitly the placing of the entire Ro-
manian nation on the BENCH" Mr..
Riposanu wrote.
II cherish the thought, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that in the depth of your heart
you personally cannot see in Juliu
Manu- a traitor to Romania, and
that, on the contrary, you see him
as he is seen by the whole of the
Romanian people-as a great Ro-
manian who loves his country more
than anything else on earth and
who has dedicated his life to the
struggle for attainment Of our ma
tional ideals"
Friends here said that Mr.. Ripo-
sanu was engaged to Mr.. Groza's
daughter, but the wedding was called

ing on the decision yesterday to

and real measures or influence to

(The will Of Alfred B. Nobel,
Swedish explosives magnate who
founded the prizes, called for ap-
portionment of the awards to
"the person" making the great
est contribution in each of the
various fields involved)
The Labor Party newspaper Ar

of the prize, the American Friends

that during the war the society gave
help to all who needed it, regardless
of race or religion. and aided in the
