Two hundred to 300 Superforts attacked nine Kyushu airfields yesterday. Although there is every indica tion that the airfields have been well neutralized in the previous three raids — the Japanese have sent no aerial attacks in any strength against the U. S. Okina wa force since April 16—the 21st bomber command apparetly has decided to take no chances on the enemy making quick repairs to its runways and other installations. B-29 crews reported encounter ing no fighter opposition as they made runs on the five airfields. Two fields. Tomitakanaj and Mi yazaki on the eastern coast, were attacked for the' first time. Bombings were made from medium altitude, probably 20,000 feet. T IMAN PROVIDES N If COOPERATION WASHINGTON. Ap.ri'21.— President Truman blazed a new path of cooperation between Con gress and the W’-.ite House today with an invitation lor Kenneth D. McKellar, president pro tempore of the Senate, to si* at cabinet meetings. The action was believed to be unprecedented. Not since Calvin Coolidge took over the presidency on the death of Warren G, Hard ing has the nation been without a vice president, and the custom of having tne Senate’s presiding of ficer sit in on cabinet sessions was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mr. Truman, however, already has demonstrated his determina tion to perfect and maintain .a. solid liaison with Capitol Hill, and the invitation he extended McXei lar underscored that aim. t . McKellar sat in at his first cab inet session yesterday, occupying the seat reserved for the vice president at the end of the long table. The honor was perhaps the greatest yet conferred on the sol idly - built Tennessee democrat, dean of the Senate hy virtue of more than 28 years of continuous service. Last January he was elected president .pro tempore, succeeding Virginia’s ailing Carter Glass. When President Roosevelt died and Har.-y S. Truman moved up to the White House, McKellar be came the Senate’s regular presid ing officer although his title re mained unchanged. By reason of his increased duties, he is entitled to an additional $5,000 a year compensation, brurging his salary to $15,000 annually -y Tliere^ not much hope held out for the Jap Navy—with its con tinual sinking spells. -V-— BUT WAR BONDS .AND STAMPS Polish Problem Darkens Security Parley Outlook (Continued from Page One) questions lacing the principal Al lies, lor settlement in advance of San Francisco. Molotov’s arrival, now expected tomorrow, already had been await ed with considerable anxiety. It was hoped be would be able to give details of the : eported treaty and possibly suggest something fo break the deadlock. Anthony' Eden. British foreign secretary emerging from a con ference of an hour and a quarter with Stettinius, said that the two were , “as usual in complete agree; ment on all points discussed.” The'Russian situation came up at- the White House too. in the sec ond conference in two days be tween President Truman and W. AverelJ Herriman. IT. S. ambassa dor to Moscow, who hurried here when it was announced that Mol otov would come to San Francisco. Russia has demanded twice in the past .three weeks that the Di visional Polish government at War saw be Sbated at San Francisco. The United States and Britain sent a flat refusal the first time. The second demand was addressed only to Washington, the United States therefore put forth the sec ond rejection. Eden’s statement was taken to mean that Britain ihrorughly sup ported the Ame'ican decision +o stand firm. It appeared likely that President Truman would take a hand in the important discussions. EXPANSION nEMANOED SAN FRANCISCO. April 21— Expansion of the proposed world security council to give small na tions a greater voice on issues of war and peace was demanded to day by representatives of Latin American countries arriving for the United Nations conference which opens next Wednesday.

Senators Recommend Gilliam For Bench (Continued from Page One) pie of the entire eastern part of North Carolina and of the bar and the people generally through the state*’’ Bailey and Hoey said. ‘‘He is a man of rare personal charm, dutious in habit, cultivat ed in manner and bearing, and endowed with an understanding heart as well as a brilliant mind,” they added. Gilliam, a graduate of the Uni versity of North Carolina, was ap pointed solicitor by Gov. Cameron Morrison and was offered a su perior court judgeship by Gov. Hoey, but he declined it. The two senators said they had received great numbers of letters and resolutions from county bar associations testifying to Gilliam’s merits. The counties sending such endorsements were not named. Gilliam has served as chairman of the Edgecombe county Demo cratic Executive committee for 29 Junction Of Yanks, Reds Does Not Mean That War Is Over (Continued from Page One) out exactly as Gene-al Eisenhow. ** originally planned it. Gen. Smith said Eisenhower was conducting the campaign on a strictly military plane and his liai son with the Russians is limited to military matters. All political as pects are being handled by the leaders of the Allied governments. The chief of staff made this re mark as reports were widespread that an agreement between the western Allies and Moscow as to what parts of Germany ' each will occupy was affecting military op erations and was responsible for the stopping of the Americans on the Elbe river line. Two of Eisenhower’s decisions during the course of the Allied campaign in Germany were vital, Smith said. The supreme commander, he said, decided to occupy all the western bank of the Rhine between Wesel and Coblenz before fully .ex ploiting the First Army’s Remag en bridgehead. His other decision was to send Lt. Gen. George S. Patton’s Third Army south across the Moselle instead of directly across the Rhine. years. He has repeatedly been re nominated and re-elected solicitor, mostly without opposition. Bailey and Hoey said "he will maintain the great tradition of oui federal bench and his appointmem will be accepted with glainess by the people whom he will serve as judge.” CLOTHING MOVIE DRAWS HUNDREDS (Continued from Page One) the amusement of the youngsters as they watched comedies and car toons on the screen with their fa vorite characters, Popeye, Plutu, Little Lulu, and many others. The pictures lasted for a little over an hour. W. R. Dosher, chairman of the United National Clothing Collect tion, said the success of the mat inee far exceeded expectation*. The committee, he said, “is v*:y grateful to the management of the Carolina Theater and the publici ty committee of the drive for ar ranging this event.” --V LIBERALIZATION INDICATED WASHINGTON, April 21. —<«— Some liberalization of civilian tire rations by June was indicated to night in a war production board action increasing passenger tire manufacturing by goals about 60 per cent.
