BIG THREE AGREE ON PLANS TO WIN THE WAR AND PEACE Roosevelt. Churchill and S t a 1 i n Agree On Program to Strip De feated Reich and So1 ? Ticklish European Political Situation ? Washington, Feb. 12?The big three today decreed death for Ger man nazism and militarism in an agreement which revealed for the first time how the Allies plan to strip defeated Germany so com pletely of any war-making capacity that she "will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world." The announcement stemmed from the big three meeting at Yalta, Cri mean watering resort. The confer ence. which lasted eight days, pro duced detailed decisions, not only in the military field but in the even more difficult realm of European politics. President Roosevelt agreed with Prime Minister Churchill and Pre mier Stalin to join in obtaining for the liberated peoples of Europe the Atlantic charter pledge of the right to choose their governments. In that he opened a new era for Ameri can foreign policy which will see this country taking an increasing part in the settlement of European affairs Conspicuously absent from the i communique which was issued sim ultaneously in London, Washington and Moscow was any reference to Japan. But their call for a conference on world organization at San Francisco was seen as a possible hint that Rus sia is preparing to take part even tually in the Pacific war. The nine points are: 1. Detailed agreement among the United States, Britain and Russia on military plans against Germany which will "result in shortening the war." As if speaking to the German people over the head of Hitler, the communique warned them that "Nazi Germany is doomed. The Ger man people will only make the cost of their defeat heavier to them selves by attempting to continue a hopeless resistance." 2. A final decision to split Ger many into zones of military occupa tion after victory. The United States, Great Britain and Russia will each occupy a zone, and France will be invited to occupy another. If she ac cepts, as she is expected to do, the control commission will be expanded to include French members. Victory is to be followed by destruction of Nazism and militarism and elimina tion or control of German industry capable of war production. 3. A commission will be set up in Moscow to consider the amount of German reparations, and how they should be paid. 4. A formula for settling the rankling Polish issue was agreed upon. It provides for merging the provisional government now recog nized by Russia with certain un named "democratic leaders" from within Poland and from exile Poles abroad It also provides that Roose velt and Churchill recognize Stalin's line as Poland's eastern boundary which gives Russia huge chunks of so-called old Poland including the cities of Vilrta and Lowow. 5 Another formula along the same lines was disclosed for Yugo slavia. The big three said Marshal Tito, who is now running the coun try from the inside, and Dr. Suba sic. the prime minister of the exile government at London, should im In Rhode Island Vaughn C. Watson. S 2c. ton of Mr. and Mr?. A. G. Walton of Deep Gap. who entered the navy July 6. 1944. In November he wat traniferred from Camp Peary. Va? to Camp Endicott. Davitvllle. R. I., at a member of a teabee unit. mediately set up their coalition gov ernment as previously agreed on. 6. To provide continuing consul tation of the big three the chiefs of state agreed that their foreign sec retaries should meet every three or four months, beginning in London about the middle of the year. 7. The big three also made up their minds on the big issue still unsettled in the Dumbarten Oaks plan for world organization and agreed that the united nations should hold a full dress conference on the plan in San Francisco be ginning April 25. The formula for settling issue which had previously led to disagreement was whether a big power, if accused of aggression, should have a veto power on any action against itself. The formula for settling this dispute will be made known as soon as China and France have been consulted. 8. It was agreed that the big three powers should join in assistmg any of the liberated or former Axis stales of Europe in carrying out measures designed to guarantee the peoples' right to choose their own government. This is one of the most far-reaching decisions for it seans that from now on the United States may have a direct hand in every European settlement pending the proposed creation of the world se curity organization which will give it an even greater role in world af fairs. 9. The big three summed up by predicting that victory and the Dumbarton Oaks plan together "will provide the greatest opportunity in all history to create a lasting peace" with freedom from fear and want. The full names of all three of the chiefs of state were fixed to the communique. They appeared in this order: "Winston S. Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, J Stalin." The document was dated Feb. 11, evidently the day on which it was completed and signed.

Hospitals Needed in Rural Communities Seventy-three percent of the peo ple in North Carolina are served by only 31 percent of the doctors. This means that many rural area s are suffering from inadequate medical care. One doctor is needed for each 1, 000 people. The average for North Carolina in 1944 was one physician for each 1,983 people, while in the rural areas the ration was one do< - tor for 5,174 people. The situation was exceptionally bad before the war but now it is acutc. Dr. Horace Hamilton, head of the| department of rural sociology at State College, has called particular attention to these figures which he obtained from the American Medical Directory and the North Carolina Medical Society. He points out that one-fifth of the rufal doctors are over 65 years old and that the country has been losing its younger doctors. "Unless some thing is done to reverse this trend during the next few years, many rural towns will not have any phy sicians at all," he explained. The young physician trained as a specialist does not prefer to locate in small rural communities. City people will pay more and use more of his services. Even with the au tomobile, rural calls are time con suming and expensive. In the city more patients call at the doctor's of fice. "The young doctor desires and needs the facilities of a modern hos pital near at hand," says Dr. Ham ilton. "One way, therefore, to get more doctors in the country is to build more hospitals and health centers in small, rural communi ties." The United States now takes nearly all coffee shipped from Sal vador. kCANADA DRYj .QUALITY, In Italy PVT. ERNEST C. HODGES Allied Force Headquarter^, Italy ?Pvt. Ernest C.

Last September 1, the outfit's first group took over the operation of the Port of Leghorn while German artillery shells were still falling in the city. In addition to regular port functions, they set up a large ship repair shop and a small craft-operating section to ; speed the unloading of Liberty ships | arriving with ammunition and other 1 high priority supplies. The entire port was wrecked by retreating Germans and over 11,000 land mines were taken from the dock area in one day. Pvt.
