'Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill
and Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shek in North Africa, where the
final blowi against Japan were
planned and where, commentators
have said, the last of the "second
front", details probably were
worked out. -
The Soviet monitor said fall
details of tho latest parley mlht
be announced between noon and
eastern war time, today,
'basing this prediction on the
anal routine of the Moscow ra
dlo wbca announcing futuro
1 broadcasts.
It was the first time that Pre
mier Stalin had left Russia since
the revolution, and it was the first
'meeting between Mr. Roosevelt
and the Soviet leader. Stalin and
.Churchill met once before. In Mos
:cow. ' . Neutral and axis sources, saying
flatly that the meeting was under
way, had placed the site first at
Teheran, but later appeared to be
agreed that it was being held at
.Tabriz, In Russian-occupied Iran.
V-The Moscow radio made the an
nouncement in a Soviet news
'agency broadcast for provincial
papers. The announcer introduced
it thus: "I am about to broadcast
a statement to be inserted in ev
ery newspaper.'
v. The announcement was read at
dictation speed twice, and then
once at ordinary speed for check
g purposes.
A Only yesterday tho Berlin
radio had said the conference
had been completed at Tabris
." and that a Christmas ultimatum
jto Germany to "tiro an or die
' had been agreed upon.
T Crediting dispatches from a va
riety of sources, including "Reu
ters circles in Lisbon," the busy
axis propaganda machine, which
was the first to report a tri-power
meeting actually under way, as
serted that an official communique
from the conference would be is
sued tomorrow and that it would
again call for the scrapping of the
nazi' party and unconditional sur
render by Germany.
Allied circles scouted predic
tions that an official declaration
would come so soon, considering
WMW U4U, Ir WW WU V- IVU0
conferences and their official an
nouncements, but there was no
disposition to doubt that an his
toric meeting of the "big three"
was in progress.
London newspapers accepted as
confirmation the radio statement
last night by United States Sena
tori Connally, " democrat, Texas,
chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, that 'anoth
er great conference is taking place
in the middle east" between Unit
ed Nations leaders and that "it is
of paramount significance."
" Both axis sad neutral broad
casts said tho discussions had
een la progress for several
'days at Tabriz, aa ancient city
"of 220,009 population la the
Yusslan - occupied northern sec
tion of Iran (Persia).
" Broadcasts from Switzerland
and Ankara were among those
which placed the meeting at Ta
briz and the Turkish radio added,
"After this historic 'meeting great
events will happen. The meeting
will have greater repercussions
. than Casablanca."
The Turkish radio also said
the discussions "are dealing
- with the opening of campaign
In the Balkans.
Vichy's radio reported "a date
for a second front is 'being fixed
and it is presumed . General Sir
Bernard Montgomery is present.
Moscow, Just given its ' first
newspaper report today on the
Cairo conference, speculated on
where Roosevelt -and Churchill
might be now, although this ques
tion was not published. j
: Apparently preparing for an al
lied promise that Germany would
be preserved as a nation if it rid
itself of Hitlerism, Berlin said, "In
their forthcoming manifesto
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin
axe going to represent themselves
as so many Santa Clauses waiting
to bring gifts to those children
who will be good."

The Russian column that took

the communique said. The whole

the soviet forces of Gen. Con
s tan tine Rokossovsky.
Along one portion of the Rus
sian front in the Gomel area the
Germans attempted to entrench
themselves on previously pre
pared positions, but a soviet unit
outflanked the defenders. The
Germans, threatened with encir
clement, began to withdraw.
The war bulletin added that the
operation also enabled the Rus
sians to liberate 10,000 soviet ci
vilians who were being driven to
Germany by the nazis for slave
labor.
The communique specified that
the Russians . killed about 1500
Germans, disabled or destroyed 15
enemy tanks and captured 12
tanks and 12 guns, and mortars.

Germans as officially admitting
heavy damage from the four-
ton block buster- bombs, at least
30 of which fell in factory areas.
The Berlin correspondent of
Zurich's Tages-Anzeiger reported
the greatest destruction in the
raids caused by fires, adding that
"the number of incendiaries and
phosphorous cans totaled several
dozens per house in the concen-tratedly-bombed
quarters, and of
ten gutted up to 500 buildings
simultaneously.
The phosphorous-type incendi

Queue shoppers, they are call

who jump into almost any line in
almost any store, discovering
when they arrive at the counter
what merchandise is offered.
V
Nor does the "queue refer to
queer." Rather, they are a pretty
smart group, on the whole.
If she owns a box of kleenex
(no capitalization, no trade name.
we mean any one of a half dozen
brands of paper cleansing tissue)
she is probably a queue shopper
or she knows one.
Same thing occurs often inythe
doughnut line, but women who
follow others into the photo shops'
when certain types of film are
available too often discover that
they have waited 25 minutes for
the privilege of purchasing the
wrong size roll or pack for the
family camera. -
Smart women thus come by bed
sheets, white towels, men's hand
kerchiefs, and numerous other
short-stock Items.
But there Is a psychological fac
tor connected with this kind of
shopping: The same sort ox en
thusiasm grips one that used to
get all of us to gather around a
bargain counter. And that may ex
plain some of the lineup at the
liquor store at 5 1 o'clock of an af
ternoon . queue shoppers, who
stepped into the line outside the
door and may be surprised when
they get to the counter and dis
cover what merchandise is offered.
"With tho ratioaiag of a
number of our protective
foods the importance of the
vitamla and mineral factors
in enriched White Bread be
comes greater than ever la
