Down the valley were his. troops, plainly visible. Then Capt.

They had come out of a well camouflaged dugout. Capt. Foote advanced silently to 10 yards from the Jerries and yelled, “Hey!” The astonished Krauts turned--to face three tommy guns. Caught cold, their hands went up. “Call your buddies out of the dugout,” ordered the captain, “or we'll hand ’em some grenades.” Out of the dugout came 10 more paratroopers, their hands up but their small arms and grenades still

|'PARTNERSHIP’ WITH '-

ALLIES - QUESTIONED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (U, P.). —Some senators were a trifle susplcious today of what President Roose velt meant by “partnership” when

{he said he thought lend-lease should {end with the war’ but that the

united nations partnership should continue. : Senator Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.), said "if the President was speaking of an international ore ganization to keep the peace, “I'm wholeheartedly for it.” “But partnership,” he continued, “has a distinct meaning in law and

involves assuming the liabilities of one partner by the other. I haven't any idea that we are going into partnership with any nation. I'm for co-operation but not partners ship.”
