In addition to sinking the two light cruisers, the carrier planes sank one oiler and three cargo transports. One troop transport uid three cargo transports were iamaged.

This most significant of all wartime meetings, bringing Presi dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin to gether for the first time, was held in Teheran, capital of stori ed Iran (Persia) for four days, from November 28 to December 1st. The conference, further tipping the scales of defeat against Ger many by incontestable unity of three chiefs of state said to hare met "in extreme cordiality." came as the Allies massed strength in the West and in the Mediterran ean, with Russia already pressing In from the East. Stalin Hack in Moscow Further indicating that the blows from West and South may not long be delayed, the topmost military chieftains of America Etnd Britain pooled their genius again in meetings from Friday through today in Cairo after re turning from Teheran. Churchill Joined them. The whereabouts of President Roosevelt since he left Teheran December 2 were not dis nlnoor) Stalin arrived safely in Moscow tonight. The "Big Three" and their military staffs at Teheran "con certed our plans for the destruc tion of the German forces," de clared the joint communique re leased here and signed simply by "Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill." "We have reached complete agreement as to the scope and timing of operations which will be undertaken from the East, West and South. "The common understanding which we have here reached guar antees that victory will be ours," It asserted In measured words of loom for Hitlerism. As to the peace, "We are sure that our concord will make It an enduring peace," and "We shall seek the cooperation and active participation of all nations, large ind small, whose peoples in heart ind mind are dedicated, as are 5Ur own peoples, tq the elimina tion of tyranny and slavery, op pression and intolerance. We will welcome them as they may choose ;o come into a world family of iemocratic nations." Relentless Attacks "No power on earth, can prev ent our destroying the German irmies by land, their U-boats by sea, and their war plants from ;he air," the triumvirate assert 3d. "Our attacks will be relent less and increasing." In another declaration, the conferees pledged wartime and post-war aid to Iran, and invited the assistance of Iran and other peace-loving nations in establish ing and maintaining peace "in ac cordance with the principles ot the Atlantic Charter." President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill flew the 1,260 miles from Cairo to Iran after the Pacific conference here the week before the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek which, under the shadow 3f the Pyramids, charted the ruin of Japan. Nazi Agents Balked The scene at Teheran ? where the Nazis had unsuccessfully dropped agents by parachute ? was marked by thousands of Al lied troops, armor and guns, by Stalin honoring his Allied friends In smiling, glass-clinking toasts, by a party on the occasion of the 59th birthday of the eballient Churchill, and by' presentation of i handsome British-made "Stal ingrad Sword" to Stalin. These and other details were described in dispatches by Lloyd Stratton, president of The As- ' tociated Press, Limited, British subsidiary of The Associated Press. Stratton and Edward Ang ly of the Chicago Sun were the jniy two American correspond ents who reached Teheran. Stalin in a toast at one dinner ieclared that "Without American production, the United Nations :ould never have won the' war." President Roosevelt addressed U.
