Anglo-American conservations among oil experts, now in progress here. It was because of the importance of these discussions that Petroleum Administrator Ickes asked senate's oil investigating committee to delay open hearings on the proposed Saudi Arabian pipe line. Committee agreed, When Anglo-American experts reach conclusions, these will be submitted to committees for each country. American committee is headed by Secretary Hull, with Ickes as vice chairman.

Oslo Is Bombed

The R. A. F. sent a small specialized precision force of four-en=-gined Lancasters to Oslo last night for the first British night attack on Norway in four years. Flying 1200 or more miles round trip, they bombed the Kjeller airframe factory on the outskirts of the Norwegian capital by moonlight. The Kjeller factory, which repairs enemy fighters and troop-carrying aircraft, was hit once previously by American Liberators last Nov. 18. Twin-engined Mosquitoes rounded out the night's offensive, in which one plane was lost, with a blockbuster attack on devastated Hamburg.

The most optimistic prediction of the imminence of an allied invasion was published in the Madrid newspaper Arriba, which guessed the landing would come at 4:30 a. m.

Ankara's latest contribution was “in the next few days or weeks.”

Eisenhower Tours Allied Air Fields

LONDON, April 2 *(U. P).~— Gen, Dwight Eisenhower has been on a tour of airfields from which allied expeditionary air forces operate against western Europe, giving pep talks to his air forces for “the great job ahead,” it was announced last night.

Addressing pilots informally at ‘one base he said: le “Much as you have dohe in the

of you. You are now members of

fellows can be just as enthusiastic about this business of team work among the three services and among all fighting forces as I am. “I am certainly enthusiastic and I believe anyone who has had opportunity of working on.that basis is just as enthusiastic as I am.” At various bases he talked to pilots individually and callectively. He was accompanied on the tour by Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory and Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham.

The Republican Victory commit-] | tee, opposing the organization in a | last-ditch primary fight for survival of the fittest, has pooh- poohed the organization claim of a majority | of committeemen, claiming that!

| dates are on their side. | Thus squared away for the battle, {the Victory committee leaders are grooming several possible candidates for the chairmanship at the Saturday convention. Being mentioned as anti-organi-zation chairman are Dailey McCoy, county infirmary superintendent; James Engels, an assistant city attorney: Addison Parry, president of the county council and Sherlie Deming, president of the board of works. There were no indications that the regular organization leaders were maneuvering to “ditch” Mr. Ostrom and put James L. Bradford, former chairman, back ‘on the throne. Most of them agreed that Mr. Ostrorf®had the main track.

Old Lineup Indicated

In the Democratic camp, the chairmanship will not be so bitterly fought, if at all. The same factional lineup is expected to develop at the Saturday convention that split the party in 1042. Chairman Russell Dean has not definitely decided to run again for the chairmanship. If he doesn't his organization leaders are expected to put up Raleigh Burk, road contractor, and long-time Democratic worker as his successor to the chairmanship. Opposing the regular organization in the chairmanship fight is the faction led by James Cunningham, center township assessor, and Daniel O'Neill Jr, the anti-organ-ization candidate for the sheriff nomination. Mr. Cunningham is expected to

Only a few months ago, he made an extensive tour of the Pacific battle areas to get a first-hand picture of the navy at war. He also worked very closely with Knox on many projects in which the secretary was interested. Forrestal supplied much of the driving power for the top-speed naval construction program.

A friend of President "Rodsevelt

for almost 30 years, Forrestal was born 52 years ago in Beacon, N. Yj,

less than 25 miles from Hyde Park.

In two respects, Forrestal’s career paralleled Knox's. He began his career as a newspaper reporter and he served in the last war. After a Year at Dartmouth, he went to Princeton, working his way through. Becomes Bond Salesman
