Chicago Is Seen AS
Conventions Site
GOP And Democrats To
Meet In January;
Both Favor Chicago
WASHINGTON. —(AP)—Repub
lican leaders will meet in Chicago
January 10 and 11 to select a date
and place for the 1944 National
Convention which the GOP “hopes
will be the springboard for return
to national political power.
. Chairman Harrison E. Spnagler
taoday issued a call for the meet
ing to be held at the Stevens Ho
tel. The 106 national committee
members and 96 state chairmen
and vice-chairmen were invited,
making it a double-barreled af
fair.
Spangler has been meeting state
chairmen in regional groups on
swings about the country. This
will be the first time he has had
them all together since his elec
tion to the chairmanship last De
ecember.
' The Democrats also are expect
ed to meet in January to arrange
for their convention. Both parties
in the past have held these site
selecting conferences in Washing

tation difficulties dictated the
choice of a centrallv-located city.

F¥or similar reasons, both par
ties have been urged by Defense
‘Transportation Director Joseph B.
Eastman to hold their conventions
in Chicago. Because the mid-west
proved the GOP's most important
stronghold in the 1942 elections
and will be a main battleground
in 1944, the Republicans more
than likely will choose Chicago or

It's taking a mighty lot of dif

Government Request
To Enjoin The AP
Filed In U. S. Court
NEW YORK—(®)—The govern
ment asked the United States Dis-1
trict Court today perpetually to
enjoin and restrain The Associated
Press from observing by-laws;
which “permit newspapers desiring
AP service to be denied such ser
vice because they offer competi
tion to existing AP members.” ‘
A proposed form .of judgment in
the government's civil anti-trustl
suit against the AP also would}
restrain the news-gathering co
operative from withholding its ser-l
vices from non-AP newspapers,
from carrying out its exclusive
news contract with The Canadian
Press and from observink by-laws
regarding exclusiveness of locall
spontaneous news furnished by its
members. On these, however, the!
AP could apply for modification
if it amended its by-laws regard
ing admission of members.
John Henry Lewin, special as
sistant to the United States At
torney General, filed:the proposed
judgment and 146 findings of fact
with the court at-9:30 a. m. EWT.
The government was directed to
submit its proposals when a special
court ruled Oct. 6 in a 2-to-1 de
cision that the AP had the right
to pass upon admission of appli
‘cants but that the by-laws “in
They fought their way 60 miles
west of Kiev to less than 30 miles
from the last north-south railway
the Germans hold in Russia. A
hundred towng fell. About 8,000
Germans died. The Kiev bulge
was spreading west, northwest and
southwest and the demoralized
Germans appeared powerless to ar
rest it.
The Red Army was within 28
miles of Zhitomir which lies 675
miles southeast of Berlin and 720
miles west of Stalingrad where
the tide of the Russian war turned
decisively last February 3 when
the Russians completed the liqui
dation of the German Sixth Army
of more than 300,000 men. Points
in the Kiev bulge were about 80
miles from old Pofand, but further
north in the Nevel sector where
other Russians were driving for
ward, Poland was only 20 to 30
miles away. :
The Germans <declared that the
Fuussians were trying to “force a
turning point of the entire war”
in the battle west of Xiev and
also spoke of a powerful = Russian
lunge in the Chernigov sector
north of the Ukranian capital close
to the Pripet Marshes, which di
vide German armies of the north
and south. Violent, inconclusive
fighting continued in the sealed off
Crimea. i
Converge on Cannes
Allied bombers from the Medi
terranean and Britain converged
on the coastal railway center -of
Cannes in the south of France last
night in their campaign to eripple
German mobility, giving the Nazis
a taste of aerial torture to come
this winter, now that the Foggia
Air Base in Italy has been se
cured.
The Italian front was bogged
down in rain ond snow. The Am
erican Fifth Army beat off con
tinuous counterattacks and ad
vanced a mile in the Mediterran
ean area 75 miles below Rome.
The British Eighth Army on the
Adriatic limited its work to pa
troling.
Fateful days were ahead for
Japan, too.
General Douglas MacArthur's
Marines and Infantry secured a
six-mile beachhead on Bougainville
Island in the Solomons. Stirrings
from Admiral Nimitz’'s Pacific
Fleet headquarters in Hawaii and
Lord Louis Mountbatten’s Burma-
India theater suggested that a
three-directional offensive was in
the making, with all prongs aimed
at Tokyo.
Admiral Nimitz spoke in Hono
lulu last night and his words seem
ed to indicate a smash at the
central Japanese mandated islands
in the Marshall and Gilbert groups
or the central Pacific:
Time to Attack

ters and Treasurer Carter
Daniel, it was announced
today, giving rise to the
hope that another cam
paign will not be necessary
in January to complete the
quota of $36,000.
Outcome of this campaign will
no doubt decide whether Athens
will continue raising funds for

“Community Chest” basis, or
whether each will hold its own!
campaign in future, giylng the

For many years agitation has
been underway here to adopt the
“Community Chest”’ plan, holding
one campaign for all service or
ganizations, each sharing upon the‘
basis of a budget approved by a
committee representing - all of
them. ‘
The “Community Chest” plan is
being tested in this campaign. If
it failg it is natural to expect that
it will not be tried again and eachi
organization will go forth annually
on a separate basis soliciting rundsi‘
