Cries of "monstrous" greet ed his statement In the house of lords. Eton-educated, Lord Faringdon once served on a committee to investigate Brit ain's non-intervention in the Spanish vicil war. "I should not be surprised," he told lords, "if our com manders had not already met with cases of men who show the greatest unwillingness to fight the Greeks and who may have refused to bomb Athens. "It may be. this will go fur ther and we shall have a mutiny among men in Greece and a re fusal to fight the Greeks." Lord Samuel asserted there would be "universal condemna tion" of Faringdon's speech, and added: "Such language ought not to be ined in this house." Leader of the liberal party in lords, Samuel declared: "I am sure that on further considera tion Lord Faringdon will re gret he has been betrayed into these remarks." Lord Samuel said Britain probably would have to resort to some "inter-allied action" to settle the Greek situation and asserted "there is no reason why Great Britain should be cajled upon to bear this burden alone," King George II of Greece came under attack in lords after a similar flareup in commons against him. Superforts Raid i Con Untied from Pj ? 11 American sources mentioned only the attack on Mukden. It was the second raid in three weeks on Manchuria's largest city, whose great war plants turn out arms, munitions, tanks and planes for the hard-pressed Japanese war machine.

In the first attack December 7 on Mukden, a city of nearly 3.000.000, Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Le May's 20th bomber com mand ran into stiff Japanese fighter opposition. Three B-29s were lost, but at least 26 Ja panese planes were shot down, 13 probably shot down and 24 others damaged. The latest raid followed by only 48 hours a China-based three-way B-29 assault on Omura. Japan, and Shanghai and Nanking in occupied China.

More Munitions Now Imperative Washington, Dec. 21 fTPi The allied setback in Europe, "will hit us between the eyes" with now war production problems, WPB Vice Chairman Samuel W. Anderson said today. He added that the powerful German counter - offensive makes it impossible to predict an end of the civilian produc tion freeze. Present urgent demands for more shells, guns, trucks and other vital material "certainly" will be followed by armament problems "as difficult as the ones we have now." Anderson told a news conference. "I feel sure the present mili tary situation in Europe will come back and hit us between the eyes in various ways, at present unknown." said the vice chairman who signed the re cent order freezing the future civilian goods production pro gram at present levels. "The purpose of the freeze is to see that rising civilian production does not interfere with urgent munitions output." he asserted. "I haven't any idea how long it will last, or how long we will have critical shortages in war materials," Simultaneously, WPB a n nounced that all brass mills contributing to the army's enor mously expanded 1945 am munition program have been placed on the national produc tion nriipnpv I id pivinff t hp 111 iup pnoiuy in lei-iuiung muui, Armv Suffers 'Continued from Pa! Even if their progress should be halted at some points tempo rarily, the Germans still have , sufficient room to maneuver nil nil uifi yjti i j.MU 1 1 eintrwucic along their 60-mile front. The German radio claimed j that 10,000 American soldiers already have been taken pris oner, and even that did not seem out of line in view of the fluidity of the lines. On the final outcome of the German counter-offensive will depend whether the war in Eu rope will end quickly or agon izingly drag on into the sum mer of 1945 and perhaps even longer. Both sides have much to gain and much to lose. If the Germans could over run a large area, they could inflict a shattering blow on the allied armies. That alone could add months to the duration of the war, months in which lost slocks were replaced, new com munications lines painfully put together. On the oilier hand, the Ger mans may overreach themselves and expose themselves to anni hilation. But at the moment, that is looking far ahead. Paul Porter Named Chairman of FCC Washington, Dec. 21 U. President Roosevelt today ap pointed Paul Porter, democra tic national committee publicity chief, chairman of the federal communications commission to serve on a temporary basis pending action by the senate on his permanent nomination.
