that it had betn officially de-
nied in Pari* that Gen. Charles
De Gaulle had b«*n invited to
take y<iil in the Big Three con-
ference now in *ession in the
Black Sea area.
Earlier tonight, after report-
ing that the French leader had
been invited to attend, the Parts
radio quoted the French newt
agency as saying it was unable
to confirm the report.
The originel Parts broadcast
trealad the story as fact. The
French news ugency referred to
it as a "rumor."
(In Washington the U. S.
State Department said if had no
information one way or another
as to whether an invitation had
been extended to De Gaullf.*

b.'uk for the G< . mans.
Just when this will be remained
uncertain, but iU importance wa*

never has been Boy Scouting in

there is ample evidence that in

went underground and managed

If was Marshal Ivan Separx-
vitch Konev, above, who pulled
the trigger for the Red Army’s
604-mile long winter offensive
by sending hi* 1st Ukrainian
Army crashing across south Po-
land's plains into German Si-
lesia, there to conquer so quick-
ly as to force Berlin to admit,
within a matter of days, that
Silesia, Germany’s second most
important war industry area,
was finished. One of Stalin'*
ace commanders, stocky, bil-
liard - ball bald, gimlet - eyed
Konev ha* been in the Russian

by
ing somewhere in the Black Seri
area, attended by one of the great-
est array* of diplomatic expert*
siiici the Versatile-., peace parley,
already has lasted longer than
: wa* originally scheduled. There
was some speculation that the an-
nouncement awaited a new mili-
tary development.
In London, it wa* believed that,
the difficulty of finding a formula
to break Volkusturm resistance of
the Aachen pattern has centered
on two points:
1. Russia'g reported plan to ir e
forced German labor to rebuild
cities ruined by German fort* *,
just a.' the Get mans themselv
used lave labor from all over
Europe in their years of triumph.
Neither Britain nor the United
State* want such forced labor jor
their own use,
2. Whether Germany'* indus-
trial machine should be desman-
tied completely, or allowed to con-
tinue under Allied control to sup-
ply the immediate needs of Euro-
1,e. or be shifted to other countries
as part payment for war damage.
On the mildness or harshness of
the B,g Three * proposals will de-
uend in a large measure the abil-
ity of Nazi propagandists to co n-
vince the German* that they
should fight on in the face of over-
whelming reverse*.

!" rt* -eej;ing from the Big Three
