He said he did not know what
was holding it up and was glad
to be reminded about it
Originally, the United States

Russia, the eastern section, and
Britain, the north and west.
Then it was decided to deal
France in,, probably necessitat
ing changes in the proposed
American and British areas. -
Italian Armistice
Still answering Questions. Mr.
Roosevelt suggested that the
state department be asked what
is holding up Duplication or
terms of the Italian armistice.
'They refer us to the war
department and the war depart
ment refers us to the White
House," a reporter told him.
The chief executive interrupt
ed a query about whether the
present Romanian government
was representative of the peo
ple, saying it was so catlhy that
the state department should be
asked about that also.

Thousands Dis
They were returning from the
incendiary attacks on Tokyo,
Osaka and Nagoya which Japan's
propaganda spokesman admitted
today burned thousands of Jap
anese to death, injured other
thousands and left thousands
more homeless.
Spokesman Sadao Iguchl said
the Superfort raids were intend

Apparently they were successful,
for Tokyo reports told of tho
filght of thousands from the

The Philippines breakthrough
was accomplished by the 43rd di

wedge into the southern end of
the Shimbu line on central
Luzon island and seized the
enemy's only escape roads.

On the northern end of the
line a Japanese machine gun
killed Maj. Gen. Edwin D. Pat
rick as he inspected advancing
front lines of his 6th division.
Low-flying f 1 g h t e r-bombcrs
paced the advance, skipping
bombs into the mouths of Jap
anese caves.
Fields of electrically operated
land mines slowed the 41st di
vision's northward advance from
Zamboanga in the southern
Philippines. The 41st spread
east and west, capturing 15
more villages and extending its
control to 28 miles of Mindanao

jury which deliberated for five

Sames had been at liberty un
der $1000 bond. He is an em
ploye of the Associated Lumber
and Box company, Dorris.
Vanderhoff was killed as he
worked on his stalled truck two
miles north of Dorris. Sames, on
the stand, told the court he
came around a curve and on a
group of lights. He said his wind
shield was clouded and the lights
confused him. He believed the
whole road blocked and turned
from the right side of the road
to the left to avoid hurting any
one. Sames said he felt an impact
and then his car went over the
grade at the left of the road. He
testified that at no time did he
see the truck driver which the
state contended he struck and
killed.
