' As to Hitler "peace blitz," London quarters declared that President Roosevelt's historic "unconditional surrender" con ference with Prime Minister Churchill In North Africa had forestalled new German peace overtures, anticipated when Hit ler speaks Saturday.

On the western' flank of the two-day allied "squeeze" move ment, torrential rains hampered operations in Tunisia but Amer ican troops were reported to have advanced six to nine miles In the Ousseltia valley region, 52 miles inland from the Gulf of Gabes coast. Dispatches said the Americans had brought relief to French troops cut off east of a moun tain pass between Ousseltia and Pont du Fans, 37 miles to the northeast. -- Reports from widely-separated points indicated that the axis was preparing for further with drawals in Russia and North Africa., Tass, the official soviet news agency, broadcast a report from Geneva that Italy had requisi tioned all merchant marine coastal ships, fishing schooners and private motor boats for im mediate transfer to Sicilian ports, within a quick run of Tunisia.

F JAP VICTORY SET.jAMD (Continued From Page One) Guadalcanal island "continued to advance to the west despite stiff enemy resistance." Forty Japanese were killed and five prisoners taken, the navy said. Burma British headquarters reported that RAF bombers struck new "softening up" blows against Japanese positions on Akyab island and along the Mayu peninsula above Akyab. Australia Worried Australia For the second time in recent weeks, Australian government quarters expressed belief that Japan was "preparing a major military operation against the north coast of the down-under commonwealth. These quarters said informa tion had been received that the Japanese were increasing their concentration of troops and ship ping in areas from which north ern Australia would be threat ened. Meanwhile, Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur announced that allied casualties in the Papuan cam paign in New Guinea, where a 15,000-man Japanese army had been exterminated, amounted to less than half the enemy's losses. Gen. MacArthur said allied figures included the sick as well as the killed and wounded. Many American and Australian troops were stricken with fever during the fighting In swamps and jungles. "Probably no campaign In history against a thoroughly pre pared and trained army pro duced such complete and deci sive results with a lower expen diture of life and resources," Gen. MacArthur said. With the New Guinea land front quiet, allied warplanes re newed the assault on Japanese bases in the South Seas, blasting at Lae, Salamaua and Finschha fen, in New Guinea, and ranging far out to attack the enemy air drome at Gasmata, New Britain, and targets on Kai and Aroe is lands.

Flynn explained that the trip was made to get photo graphs for a national magazine, and that girls were suggested for atmosphere.

The remarks in Baltimore earlier this week were made in answer to ques tions at a round-table conference of the council of state govern ments and were not in any sense a speech, they said.

Yank Blow Belittled Duesseldorf, a center of trans port and heavy industry in northwest Germany, is 160 mllos southwest of the Wilhelmshaven naval base which, with Emden, was heavily pounded yesterday by United States heavy bomb ers. The German high command, in a communique broadcast from Berlin, sought to discount the effect of the Amorican blows. It declared that "a day light attempt under . the cover of cloud to bomb targets at Hel goland bay was foiled by fight ers and defenses. Striking back by daylight, German filers 'attacked a south east coast town of England this morning, inflicting considerable damage and some casualties.

Two other occupants of car D heard Mrs. James say, "I can't take this any longer," and then shout, "My God, this man is killing me," before she screamed. "I didn't hear her speak," Wilson said. "I wish I had. Maybe I could have saved her." Wilson was detained because, the district attorney said, "He simply has too much vital testi mony for us to release him." John Funches, 30, a dining car waiter held as a material witness, was released.

The protests brought renewed requests for creation of a bipartisan "lialsoii" committee to bring about a better under standing between the White House and the capltol. Four senate committee mem bers who took the plan for a "liaison" committee under ad visement, showed little enthusi asm for it. Formation of such a commit tee was urged after both Senator Maloncy (D-Conn.) and Senator Vandcnbcrg (D-Mich.) protested that the president had requested legislation without previously consulting congressional leaders. REDS CONTINUE WIPING OUT OF TRAPPED NAZIS (Continued From Page One) early last summer. It was held unlikely, that Hitler's ' troops were able to get much oil out of the Maikop fields. The news of this advance, tying In with other successes reported in tho Caucasus which would holp encircle the Maikop area, came as the Russians pushed anothor spearhead into the are bristling against Rostov and as fresh reports came of the surrender of thousands of cold, war-weary axis troops on other fronts.
