CONFERENCE
SAID TO BE
DELAYED
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec.
1.5—(AP)—There will be no
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin
conference before the end of
January, despite reports to the
contrary, it has been reported to
day.
There are too many problems
crying for adjustment and it
will probably be February before
the big three of the United Na
tions can assemble.
That is the present judgment,
not only of the State Department
but of the British spokesman in
Washington.
This is also the statement of a
high-ranking official, who would
have on hand the advance ar
rangemeets.
This contrasts sharply with
the London talk of an imminent
meeting.
Supporting it are the facts
that the President is making ar
rangements for his customary
Christmas Eve broadcast to his
own countrymen. He must also
submit annual and budget mes
sage to congress the first week
in January.
President Roosevelt must also
be on hand on January 24th for
the inauguration ceremonies.
It is unlikely that another
meeting between the President
and Prime Minister Churchill
will occur between these dates,
as the prime minister spent
Christmas here in 1941.
SEVENTH ARMY
ENTERS NAZI
TERRITORY
PARIS, Dec. 15.—(AP)—The
U. S. Seventh Arm invaded Ger
many today and are driving
across the northeast tip of Al
sace, into the old Bavarian town
of Palatinate, which is less than
seven miles from Nkarlsruse and
35 miles from Mannheim and Lud
wigshafen, it has been reported.
All of these are great industrial
cities of the Rhineland.
The 74th American army tram
pled German soil when it cross
ed the frontier exactly four
months after wading ashore in
the French Riviera. This is only
425 miles by airline, but much
farther from Germany actually,
as it wound through the moun
tains in the southern and eastern
parts of France.
The First and Ninth Armies
were the first to break through
into Germany when drawn up
along the Roer river, 15 miles
beyond Aachen, where the Seig
fried Line was first broken in
September.
Bitter fighting appeared to be
subsiding for the Third Army,
which crashed into industrial
Saarland last month and is hack
ing its way slowly forward into
the Seigfried fortifications.
Six of Gen. Eisenhowers arm
ies are now inside Germany.
RUSSIANS IN
BATTLE ON
IPOLY RIVER
MOSCOW, Dec. 15.—fAP)—'The
Russian flying columns of tanks
and motorized infantry engaged
the German elite guard forces to
day, in a savage battle along the
Ipoly river, north of the Danube,
a bend of a little more than 83
mile seast of the Slovakia capi
tal of Bratissava.
Dispatches said that this pow
erful thrust of the elements of
Gen. Malinovsky’s Second Uk
raine army was closely coordinat
ed by the joint operations by his
right wing and Gen. Petrov’s
Fourth Ukraine Army.
This is the second cut-off of
the Germans in eastern Slovakia
to escape.
The dispatch did not make
clear whether or not Malinov
sky’s forces had invaded western
Slovakia.
The broadcast said that they
had attempted to storm Ipolysag,
half a mile north of the border.
These Russian attacks are
against the strongest natural de
fenses which are still guarding
the shortest invasion route to
Vienna.
At Budapest, this outflanked
Hungarian capital quivered under
the siege of warfare.
The Hungarian city of Szeged
is of prehistoric origin.
