(Continued From Page One) the West Coast Lumbermen's as sociation, who asserted the ne gotiations had been "well and capably handled" by WPB Lum ber Coordinator Ben Alexander. Greeley warned that those not knowing the "full picture" of the Canadian negotiations would "do well" to restrain their comments on "these inter national matters." He obviously referred to a telegram filed with the com mittee yesterday in which T. R. Robinson, plywood manufactur er of Everett, Wash., complained about the Canadian embargo and suggested replacement of Alexander by some one "friend ly" to lumber and "not its chief competitor." - Alexander, who came to Washington from, Chicagq in February, was a former manu facturer of plastics. . Northwest Worried Senator Wallgren told Greeley the lumber interests in the Pa cific northwest were in fear they might have to shut down unless negotiations to lift the embargo were speeded up. 'They feel Mr. Alexander is one of . their competitors . and has not been energetic enough in obtaining release of the Ca nadian, logs," Wallgren .de clared. W. allgren also renewed a plea that the war production board speed negotiations with Cana dian officials looking to early lifting of a Canadian embargo against exportation of logs into the northwest.

II lE HITLER HURLS 01 BITTER BATTLE (Continued From Pnge One) with enemy patrols In short but violent engagements and preparing for the final show down with the axis in Africa. Not Specified "The assertion that Hitler prob ably was weakening his air forces in Russia to bolster those in the Mediterranean area came from an authority whose name can not be disclosed, but it was supported by -a dispatch from Algiers, where an Australian correspondent, John Jarvie. tele graphed that he had learned that an axis squadron that raid ed north African towns yes terday was on the Stalingrad front three weeks ago. Eden did not specify how or where the military situation in Tunisia was "critical," but Lon don observers said developments must be expected to unfold slowly compared with the first phase, against the French, where surprise, long planning and allied undercover work com bined to reduce resistance to a minimum almost everywhere. Threefold Objective There was a dearth of news from North Africa today al though the air war preliminary to the decisive ground battle continued hotly. The enemy air objectives ap parently were threefold to rake advancing allied columns in Tmisin, to blast shipping and choke off supplies and rein forcements as far as possible and to fly In men and weapons across the Mediterranean nar rows from Sardinia and Sicily. Both axis communiques stressed blows particularly against allied shipping and allied-held ports in Algeria. These enemy claims, however, had no confirmation. Axis Raids ' The sinking of four allied merchantmen, including a "transatlantic ship of 20,000" tons and a destroyer by Italian planes and submarines off the Algerian coast was reported by the Italians. The German communique said nazi night raiders had scattered fires on the shorefronts of Al giers, Bqne and.- Philippeville and had destroyed a . 2000-ton merchantman, set fire to an other transport and damaged two destroyers in Algiers. 80-Mon Nazi Transport Plane Shot Into Sea (Continued From Page One) Ing northward and unescorted, presumably returning to Sicily after having landed enemy rein forcements in Tunisia. No one was seen to escape as the plane crashed into the water. Later, when fighter planes from Malta shot down a Ju-52 German transport plane in the same area, troops were seen struggling in the water. The Ju-52 also was unescorted. A Dornier 24, escorted by three ME-109's was intercepted between Tunisia and Sicily and damaged. FUNERAL .

German sources today tell of repulse of allied attacks and our side remains more or less silent. This doesn't mean we aren't going to take northern Tunisia. It DOES mean that we arc en countering stubborn resistance. yHE German radio says today A the British First Army has suffered a severe setback in its attack on Bizerto and Tunis. Don't believe this report. Don't disbelieve it. Just keep your fingers crossed and wait. There have been big gains by our side In Africa, at relatively little cost. Remember that there MUST be some hard fighting in order to gain an objective of such im portance. THE De Gaulle-Darlan ruckus flares up in the British house of commons. De Gaulle was to havo made a radio speech from London on Saturday. It was .CANCELLED by Eden, with Churchill's back ing. Debate follows. The de bate indicates dissatisfaction in some British quarters with the American deal with Darlnn. Eden, referring to the foct that the African expedition is under American command, says: "This is not the time to discuss arrange ments made in Africa between General Eisenhower and local French authorities. The battle is in an EXTREMELY CRIT ICAL phase and it will be time to go into all these measures when it is won." He adds that nothing should be done to give the Americans cause for complaint. HAT seems to have happened " is that WE made the dicker with Darlan and De Gaulle's friends in Britain don't like it. From this distance, it looks as if the dicker brought good results. Let's not criticize it until we KNOW ALL THE FACTS and can judge ALL the results. The ancient rule of war is that ALMOST ANYTHING is Justi fied IF IT WORKS. EWS from the Pacific today is relatively unimportant. MacArthur is still pushing the Japs hard on the 'Papuan penin sula. Without air or sea sup port, they are still tasting what we got in Bataan. Our airmen are hammering hard at important Jap air bases in far southern China,' apparent ly intent on hampering the im pending Jap drive into Yunnan province. . . jV)N'T get the idea, because of the present lull in spectac ular news, that the war in the Pacific has been won. It HASN'T. It is probably nearer the truth to say that It is just get ting well started.

Trap Closing , Dispatches said the jaws of the soviet' trap were closing steadily. Simultaneously, the Germans acknowledged that the Kussiun-, had succeeded in "temporarily penetrating" nazi defenses on the Rzhcv front, 130 miles north west of Moscow. A Berlin broadcast suld the Russians smashed through after three assaults on the German lines. Htmmtd In i It was nut immediately clear whether this was a full-senio so viet offensive synchronized with the great counter-drive from Stalingrad, but is wa slhu second time in 24 hours that Berlin had admitted serious breaks in the German lines. Dispatches from Moscow pic tured the German siege armies, estimated at 300,000 troops, as hemmed into a narrow passage way extending 120 miles west ward from Stalingrad, with the Russians attacking furiously from both sides. In addition to the nearly 100, 000 nazis kill d or captured, un official reports said about 120, 000 had. been wounded. Choice of New GOP Chairman Held Narrowed to Three WASHINGTON. Nov. 25 (TV Choice of a successor to Rep. Martin (R-Mass.) as chairman of the republican national commit tee was reported unofficially to day to be narrowing down to three "leading" candidates, al though there was no disposition to dismiss the chances of a "darkhorse" aspirant. Influential leaders of the con gressional republican forces, de clining use of their names, said that "at present" Alf Landon, re publican presidential nominee in 1936; former Rep. John Baker Hollister of Ohio, and Harrison E. Spangler of Iowa were the center of most of the discussion for the post.
