I - Neutral Sources Predict ‘Big 3’ Meeting In Iran (Continued From Page One) Though strictly in the field of conjecture, one idea which has gained wide credence is that Messrs. Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin intend to define undondi tional surrender for the German people, perhaps coupling the defi nition with an appea! to them to over-throw their Nazi masters. A definition might also be ad vanced for each of the Nazi euro pean satellites in a move calcu lated to break the already weak ening ties oindmg them to Berlin. Peace Overtures The reports emanating from neutral European capitals of Ger man peace overtures are regard ed in official quarters here as in dicating that Berlin anticipates staggering news from a Roosevelt Churchili-Stalin conference and has launched a propaganda offen sive of its own. beforehand. Secretary of State Hull put the peace talk dowr yesterday as sim ply intended to cause overconfi dence in the Allied ranks and con sequent easing of their war ef Eort. The Allies have committed themselves so definitely to pun ishment of those responsible for the crimes of this war that the Nazi leaders must know their only hope of saving tnemselves is by keeping the war gSing on the for lorn chance that the Allies may become so wearied they will ad cept a compromise peace. The peace talk is discounted, too, among senators in a position to know more than the average man-in-the-streei about the out look. Chairman Truman (D.-Mo.) of the Senate war investigating com mittee, predicting it will take a year to beat Germany and another year after that to crush Japan, summed up German’s position in this manner: “Germany can t quit now for she has a bear by the tail with her occupation trocps scattered all over Europe from Norway to Yugoslavia. This isn’t like the last war, when the German troops could be withdrawn safely into Germany.. The Nazis know that when they surrende • their occu pation troops are going to be wiped out by the people of the conquered countries.”_ Obituaries MRS. LOUISA W. ROBESON Mrs. Louisa W.

American units of Li. Gen. Mark W. Clark’s Fifth Army, meanwhile, fought their way forward one mile on an inland sector of the line to seize the town of Castelnuovo, northwest of Montaquila. Fighting in this area was described as heavy, with the Nazis’ artillery bombardments increasing in vio lence in apparent expectation of a major attack by Clark’s forces. The bulk of the German Tenth Army, estimated to number 10 di visions (approximately 150,000 troops), has been facing the Fifth Army, which poses the more di rect threat to Rome, but the Eighth Army’s determined drive may force the enemy to dispatch a division or two to hir threatened eastern flank and thu.; weaken his defenses opposing dark. During its surge up the slopes of Sangro ridge, Montgomery’s army drove the Nazis from the little villages of Mareantonio, Ba silo, Marcuccia, Casone, Cocco, Marccno and San Onofsia.. After taking the important town of Moz zagrogna, the Eighth hammered away in the direction of Romag noli, at the extreme south end of Sangro ridge, and north toward Fossacesia. a| the northeastern end of the 750 to 1,000-foot ridge. The Allied ai~ force, in addition to its blows at the enemy's moun tain entrenchments and other in stallations in Italy, spanned the Adriatic to bomb the tiny but his toric Yugoslav town of Sarajevo, where the assassination of Arch duke Ferdinand and his wife in 1914 led to the first World War. The attack on the little town, which nestles deep in the moun tains and is surrounded on all sides by high hills was aimed mainly at wiping out an explo sives factory that has been sup plying Nazi troops fighting the par tisans in Yugoslavia Although the Mitchells raiding Sarajevo sighted eight enemy fighters, the Nazis made no effort to interfere. Enemy airbases and roads, rail ways, bridges and barracks were blasted at many points in Italy with very little opposition from the enemy. artillery firing at Kure’s Beach between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. December 1 to 4.

These operators represent about 75 per cent of all soft coal tonnage. ' The mine woricers heretofore had insisted, on a national contract, but after Edward B.
