lo Hasten victory over uermuny.
ttuuruntce llio sovcrcliinly of
btiropcs liberated peoples and
lay tlio foundutlons of u secure
pi'iicn,
Tlio nnttcrn of the ncaco llie
Dumbarton Oaks proposal for tho
world security orKiinlzallon Is
to bo placed before a United
Nations conference to be called
at San Francisco April 25.
Those are the over-all results
of President Roosevelt's cliihl
clay iiievtinK nt un old czarlsl
palace In the Crimea with Pre
mier Stalin and Prima Min
ister Churchill.
Offers Hope
By their own word It offers
thn world renewed hope, after
Germany's unconditional sur
render, for Kcncrollons of. inter
national security In which men
"may live out their lives In free
dom from want ond fear."
The dark curtains, of secrecy
were drawn from the conference
late yesterday. This revealed
Unit the Bii Three hud agreed
not only on mlijhty'new blow3
lo crush nazlsm und permanent
ly disarm Germany, but also on
several pieces of specific peace
machinery to liuaruntec Inde
pendence and self-determination
to the small countries of
Europe. A formula for creating
ft new ifovornment in Poland,
which will be acceptable to all
three powers, Is Included.
Compromise
The three leaders apparently
compromised tho split between
the United States and Russia
over the votlnit rights of great
burton Oaks security plan. This
cleared tlio way for the United
Nations conference and they de
cided to cull It for San Francisco
on April 25. That is the duto by
which Russia must denounce her
non-uKKrcssion treaty with Japan
if it is not to run for another
five years.
Coincidence
Diplomatic officials here dis
counted the significance of this
fact, terming it a coincidence.
But it raised all over again
speculation that Stalin had now
declared to Roosevelt and Chur
chill un intention to enter the
war in Asia when military con
ditions in Europe permit.
The Big Three announcement,
covering nine major points, was
hailed nt the cnpltol by both re
publicans and democrats.
Jt commits the United States
powers In llie proposed Dum-1 to a now ond active role in the
settlement of European political
affairs a new departure in
American foreign policy. To
consider these problems as they
arise, British, Russian and
American foreign secretaries arc
to meet every three or four
months, beginning after the San
Francisco conference.
On his way home from the
Crimea, Secretary of State Stet
tlnlus has gone to Moscow for a
brief visit. The whereabout of
Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt
were not disclosed. Presumably
Stalin has returned to his ur
gent duties as soviet commander
in chief and the other two are
homeward bound.
Military decisions were made
early in the conference and the
staff chiefs who participated are
presumably also en route after
issuing the initial orders neces
sary to mount the promised new
assaults on Germany.
LONDON POLES HII

LONDON, Feb. 13 (IT) The
Polish government in London to
night refused to accept tho deci
sions of tho Big Three nnd ac
cused them of violating "tho let
ter and spirit of Iho Atlantic

Briions Progress Beyond
Keve in Heavy Fighting
By JAMES M. LONG
PARIS, Feb. 13 (!') British
empire troops made "steady
progress" east and south of cap
tured Klcvc today In the heavi
est fighting of tho new offensive
while Canadians to the nortli
entered Grelthnusen, less than a
mile from the flooded Rhine and
20 from llie Ruhr city of Wcsel.
The American third army In
the center ripped a new hole
through tho Siegfried line op
posite the Luxembourg frontier
when the fifth nnd 80th divisions
Joined their Tchlcrnach-Wnllen-dorf
bridgeheads into a single
salient two miles deep and 10
miles wide. . The west wall Is
thin and close to the frontier in
that sector.
No Progress
No further progress was re
ported beyond captured Prum,
where the third army was 45
miles short of Coblcnz and the
Rhine.
The Germans committed seven
first rate divisions, Including
tankers, to the Klevo battle.
Allied lines for the first time
were thrust within 300 miles
west of Berlin at Grelthnusen,
two miles across tho Rhine from
tho industrial town of Emmer
ich. Tlio Russians on the east
front aro 31 miles from the capi
tal. Gen. H. D. G. Crcrar's Cana
dian army beat down numerous
counterattacks from the Rhine to
below the rcich's forest in a
great mudpie created by
breaches in tho Rhine dykes, by
rainfall nnd a continuing thaw.
The battle close to tho Rhine, In
deed, was amphibious because
tne lowlands were one to four
feet under water.
Almost for the first time since
the offensive started, the air
forces were able to supply close
ground support to ground troops,
despite cold. Some 500 tactical
sorties were flown before noon.
In Alsace, tho 30th (Texas)
division of the U. S. seventh
army once more ejected tho Ger
mans from Obcrhoffcn, 15 miles
north of Strasbourg. A terrific
explosion in newly-won Colmar
bchw Strasbourg caused consid
erable damage. It was believed
caused by a German time bomb.

LONDON, Feb. 13 (VP) Nazi

today to the German people
against the Big Three agree

SALEM, Feb. 13 (A) The
state senate completed action to
day on its three-bill program to
remedy the community property
situation, passing and sending to
the house a measure to prevent
the state treasurer from levvinc
gift taxes on property transferred
from husband to wife under the
1943 community prooertv law.
The senate already had ap
proved bills to repeal the 1943
law, and to permit the 1251
couples who elected to coma un-
dor-HMimimmHy-property- to get
out irom under It.
The 1943 lsw was -assed to
permit couples to split" their in
comes to get lower federal in
come tax rates. The United
States supreme court ruled, how
ever, they couldn't get lower
rates that way, thus nullifying
tho purpose of the law.
The house now may consider
the three bills together.
The senate, after prolonged
debate, voted 20 to 10 to increase
the salary of Harry Schenk, chief
deputy secretary of state, from
$4200 to $4800 a year, and to
change his title to assistant .sec
retary of state. . '
Members opposed to the raise
said persons in lower brackets
should be raised first, and that
Schenk was not entitled to it be
cause he has served only ; two
years. '

Tornadoes swirling over Mis
sissippi and Alabama late yes
terday took a toll of at least
43 dead, 200 injured, and prop
erty damage running into hun
dreds of thoands of dollars.
Worst hit was a crescent
shaped area on the southern
and western outskirts of Mont
gomery, Ala., where more than
50 boxcars of a freight were
ripped and tossed about like
match boxes.
Montgomery alone counted its
dead at 25, and its injured at
more than 100. Two govern
ment warehouses were', levelled
and in Cliisholm,;a cotton mill
community, 35 homes were de
molished, and many others dam
aged in a 20-block area. -Nine
Known Dead '
Nine were known dead at Liv
ingston, 125 miles west of Mont
gomery, and one at York, nine
miles from Livingston. At Liv
ingston, as at Montgomery, a
freight train was tossed about
and one of the Livingston dead
was a trainman.
One man was killed near
Stanton, Ala., about 45 miles
northwest of Montgomery. He
was identified at a Selma under

MANILA. Feb. 13 (IF) Japanese suicide troops, cornered in
south Manila's flaming battle pit by a juncture of three American
divisions, were being compressed and liquidated today as tneir
only possible havens of refuge, Corregidor and Bataan, smoldered
from a record 1000-ton saturation bombing.
The final phase of the battle for the Philippine capital was
mounting in ferocity as Yanks of the 37th infantry, first cavalry
and 11th airborne divisions made contact to pin the Japanese
against Manila bay south of the Patig river mouth.
while sixth division armored units far to the north rolled to
the Pacific coast to cut Luzon in two, the three Yank divisions
in Manila's shell-wrecked downtown area braved rockets, heavy
artillery, machinegun fire and mined streets in their drive to fin-
visn oh tne enemy garrison now
confined to less than five square
miles. -
Across Manila bay. American
bombers poured a devastating
load of more than 700 tons of
bombs on the southern end of
Bataan peninsula and over 200
tons on Corregidor fortress, lu a
48-hour period up to Sunday
night.
The hazard of any Japanese
flight across the bay was re
flected in Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur's communique reporting
mat American iignter planes
sank .35 barges, loaded with
2500 enemy troops, off Bataan
on Sunday..
MacArthur, describing the
Manila fight as "extraordinarily
fierce,", said the desperate en
emy penned up near the south
Manila docks "now is closely
enclosed and is gradually being
compressed into extinction." .-.
- He. said every care was being
taken to keep American casual
ties at a minimum and preserve
city property. For that reason,
the Yanks were not using costly
assault methods but rather thj
slower but safer . processes of
mine-sweeping, envelopment and
uuiiuduuil, . . ;'
Pro-Japan Societies Raided
Headquarters of two Illegal pro-Japan societies at the Tulelake
segregation center were raided last night by internal security
police.
R. R. Best, center director, announced the raid, which was
made on an order of search, seizure and eviction signed by Best.
The contents of the office, including records of the society
and a hand-made Japanese flag, were removed and held for gov
ernment disposal. The records had not been examined sufficiently
today to indicato what matters of significance they may contain.
Best said. i
The societies are Sokuji Kikoku Hoshi Dan and Hokoku
Seinen Dan. The raid followed by one day the entrainment of
650 enemy alien colonists, nearly all members of these societies,
for removal to a department of justice internment camp.

VANCOUVER, B. C; Feb. 13
(CP) The Royal Canadian navy
issued a prepared statement to
day saying its official inquiry
into reports women aboard a
navy tug were insulted and mo
lested resulted in the conclusion
"the facts as published . . . were
grossly exaggerated, badly dis
torted and far distant from the
truth." .
The inquiry was ordered fol
lowing newspaper reports some
girl members of the cast of the
United States coast guard trav
elling show "Tars and Spars"
were Insulted and molested Feb
ruary 4 aboard a navy tug dur
ing a cruise of Vancouver harbor.-
The RCN statement, signed
by Rear Admiral V. G. Brodeur,
commanding officer, Pacific
coast, said:
"No evidence was produced
by any witness lo indicate there
was any intoxicating liquor
aboard the ship except that
which wns brought on board by
a civilian member or members
of tho visiting party in contra
vention of naval regulations."
The statement added:
"The so-called 'acts of moles,,
tation' appear to have taken
place as follows:
"Ono rating, helping a Spar
into an' overcoat accompanied
the action with an unsolicited
squeeze.' The Spar shook her
self free and the incident end
ed. It took place in full view of
many on deck.
"One rating, attempting tea
make a 'date,' held a Spar by
the arm. Tho same rating at
tempted to draw a civilian lady
Into the ship's galley whera
drinking was taking place. This
rating was dissuaded, without
force in both instances.'
