BRITAIN WARNED
ON INTERFERENCE
U. S. Says European Peo
ple Should Choose Own
Government
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—UP)—1The
United States today pointedly told
Britain — and indirectly Russia—
that European peoples should be
allowed to work out their own gov
ernments without interference.
The notice, given in a statement
issued by the State Department,
was interpreted to mean that this
Government is sticking one foot
tentatively in the door of Euro
pean politics.
The declaration applied specifi
cally to Italy. It was given the
wildest possible application how
ever, by the concluding sentence
which said that while we oppose
"outside” interference in Italy
"this policy would apply to an ev
en more pronounced degree with
regard to governments of the Unit
ed Nations in their liberated ter
ritories.”
It was the first declaration of
foreign policy issued since Secre
tary Stettinius took charge. Stet
tinius told a news conference that
he had worked hard on the state
ment.
Diplomats studied it with a view
to its possible application to
Greece. Belgium, Poland and oth
er countries whose governments
recently have been involved in po
litical upheavals. There is an in
creasing tendency here to interpret
these conflicts as a kind of con
test for power between Britain and
Russia, with these big nations
seeking to promote developments
in the smaller countries which
would favor their own interests.
In the case of Italy the situa
tion is complicated by the fact
that the country is still subject
to the controls imposed on a de
feated foe though it has attained
full diplomatic recognition and the
technical status of “co-belliger
ency.’’ -
One reason behind today’s blunt
statement by the State Depart
ment is dissatisfaction here over
tactics used by the British in
making an Issue or an individual
and also in acting independently
of the United States in an area
of joint control. American officials
consider that this was not only a
violation of Allied procedures, but
also that it retarded the very
thing which the United States
wants in Italy, which is to develop
political independence of choice on
the part of the Italians themselves.

Fierce fighting continue in
Athens today as the Elas,
fighting force of the left

various police barracks and
were dispersed by British
tanks and Greek mountain
brigade troops.
Meanwhile, Themistokles Sophou

Liberal party, charged that Prime
Minister Churchill, through instruc
tions to British diplomats here,
had vetoed replacing Premier
George Papandreou in a change of
government which might have solv

Among ELAS prisoners taken in

ELAS units reportedly are as

march on the capital.
It still seems touch and go wheth

will succeed. The British may en
force the T,apandreou government’s

91 NAZI PLANES
FALL ON BERLIN
Yank Pilots, In Big Raid,
Get 8-1 Ratio In
Losses
LONDON, Dec. 5. —UP)— Ameri
can fighter pilots, shooting down
Nazi planes at the rate of better
than 8-1 over Berlin today, sent
91 Nam aircraft hurtling down in
flames on the German capital
along with 1,500 tons of bombs
dropped by more than 500 Flying
Fortresses.
Twelve bombers out of some 550
which hit the Berlin area as well
as the big rail center of Munster,
50 miles north of the Ruhr indus
trial region, are missing. Twenty
two fighters failed to return to
their British bases, but a,. least 11
of them are believed to have land
ed in France.
Churning through leaden skies,
the escorting fighters in 15 min
utes dispersed the waves of Nazi
planes attacking the bomber
spearhead. The sky was cleared of
enemy planes when the second for
mation of heavy bombers appear
ed.

Most of the at+ack was centered
on the capital’s great industrial
suburb of Tegol oh the northwest
perimeter of the city. Tegel has
been transformed into Germany’s
most important military depot,
jammed with munition works and
aircraft engine and tank factories.
Flak was reported heavy but no
as intense as usual over Berlin.
Without encountering fighter op
position, another force of 400 Lib
erators and escorts attacked the
railroad yards at Munster, 50
miles north of the Ruhr industrial
region. Munster is the hub of five
main lines supplying the battle
front.
RAF Lancasters, guarded by
Mustangs and Spitfires, hammer
ed Germany’s largest railway yard
aL Hamm, 30 miles south of Mun
ster with 3.000 tons of explosive.
Only one plane was lost with the
supporting fighters claiming at
least three of 10C Nazi intercept

attack on Hamm.
Japs Repulsed
On Ormoc Road:
Destroyer Sunk
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEAD
QUARTERS. Philippines, Wednes
day, Dec. 6.— UFi —Using powerful
bazookas, American ground forces
turned back a tank supported Jap
anese attack Sunday night on the
roadblock established on the Or
moc highway a mile and a half
south of the Leyte river bridge be
low Limon.
This futile attempt of the enemy
to break out northward from the
restricted Ormoc area was an
nounced today by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur along with the destruc
tion of a Japanese destroyer and
five small freighters by Leyte bas
ed warplanes.
The Nipponese destroyer was
sunk off Bataan, the communique
said. In other thrusts, Yank planes
harassed a cluster of enemy air
dromes at Manila.
Adverse weather continued to re
tard the American advance in the
Ormoc valley, but local gains on
ridges south of Limon were noted.
In stabs at Borneo, American air
units sank a 3,000-ton tanker and a
small freighter. Three of 16 Japa
nese intereceptors were shot down.
The Japanese are being slowly
pushed into the Ormoc area, on
the western side of the islatnd. The
headquarters reported Nov. 27 that
enemy resistance in the corridor
was “steadily decreasing.”
American ground forces cleared
the Japanese from by-passed
mountain positions and strong
points on Leyte island today await
ing the lifting of tropical rains
when they can unleash the final
phase of their offensive to drive
the enemy from the island.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.— !#)—The
3.733 ton naval ammunition ship
Mount Hood was lost when it ac

base in the Central Pacific, the
Navy reported today.
A communique also disclosed the
sinking of three small naval ves
sels and a motor torpedo boat as
a result of enemy action in the
Pacific._
Commander Harold Agnew Tur
manding officer of the Mount Hood,
ner, 56, of Palm City, Calif., com
was reported missing.
No other details of loss of life on
the Mount Hood were given, and
no estimate of the ship's comple
ment was available.
The vessels lost to enemy action
were the motor mine sweepers
YMS 19 and YMS 385, with a nor
mal complement of about 20 men
each, the Landing Craft Infantry
(gunboat) 459, with a normal com
plement of about 30, and the motor

The Navy made public an inter
view with Lt. John Keys Mahaffey
of Pittsburgh, commander of the
YMS 19, who said three men were
killed outright and five others and
an officer were lost in the sinking
of his vessel. The craft struck a
submerged Japanese mine Septem

operations off Angaur islands.
“It looked like an explosion in a

Bishop Darst Appeals
For Purchase Of Bonds
In an appeal for increased con
tributions to the war effort, the
Right Rev. Thomas C. Darst. bish
op of the East Carolina diocese,
declared last night that “we not
only have to buy bonds but we’ve
got to keep bonds, and God pity
us if we aren't big enough to do
anything and everything within
our power to keen this war from
going on one minute longer than is
absolutely necessary.”
Rishop Darst, speaking at the
war bond movie premier at the
Bailey theater, assailed the cash
ing in of bonds soon after their pur
chase.
(The audience represented over
336,381 in bonds, according to an
announcement at the gathering).
Long lines of people cashing
bonds are a disgrace to America,
Bishop Darst continued, saying
that the war had never impressed
him so tremendously until he talk
ed to returning soldiers.
(During the first few days of the
Sixth War Loan Drive, there were
more bonds cashed in than were
bought in the City of Wilmington.
J. G. Thornton, co-chairman of the
New Hanover County War Bond
Committee, said in a talk to thp
Rotary club yesterday)
We are now faced with one of
the most important things that has
ever faced our civilization, Bishop
Darst declared.
He told of a conversation he had
yesterday with two Marines who
had returned from overseas. When
he asked the boys what he should
say in his speech last night, one of
them said, ‘‘tell ’em that our boys
are still fighting and dying over
there and that this isn’t going to
be a short war. They’ve got to keep
on fighting and dying.”
Our sons are fighting for the
same ideals that our fathers fought
for, the Bishop continued, saying
‘‘you and I want to keep the Amer
ica they fought for a reality —
want it to stand forever.”
He related a story of a wounded
Marine who had returned 'home
and was unhappy because he did
not find the homefolks behind the
war effort as he had expected.
The Bishop said the disillusioned
Marine said that to him it seemed
that business was going along as
usual and that he had seen people
who seemed glad that the war was
on because they were making
more money than ever before. The
Marine added, Bishop Darst con
tinued, that he had been told that
churches were filled with people
praying for the fighting men but

Jaycees Announce Plans
For Waste Paper Drive
An all-out drive to clear Wilmmg
tcn homes of all waste paper was
announced last night by the Wil
mington Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
The Jaycees have secured the
use of 16. large trucks and will be
jgm a complete coverage of the
city and suburban communities
'early Sunday morning. The public
is urged to place all scrap paper
in bundles at the front of their
homes and a crew will arrive some
time during the day to accept it.
Proceeds from the sale of the
paper will be donated to the New
Hanover county Tuberculosis Asso
ciation, the Jaycees said.
A general hetdquarters will be
organized to expedite the collec
tions and a dispatcher will route
the trucks through the city and
suburbs. All paper must be placed
within sight of the truck crews as
the size of the area involved will
prohibit a house-to-house canvass.
Members of the campaign com
mittee stressed the importance of
waste paper to the war effort and
urged the cooperation of the pub
lic in this civic project. Late risers
were asked to place their waste
paper on the street Saturday night
as the trucks are expected to be
gin their rounds at an early hour.
The truck crews will consist of
Jaycee members with the excep
tion of a few volunteer drivers.
Due to the gas shortage, it will
be impossible to make more than
one trip to a specific locality this
week-end but the drive will con
tinue with another collection day
to be announced later.
Results of the day’s collection
will be announced in the Wilming.
