The chairman of the Fomeign Relations Committee led an eight-man Senate delegation to the White Housd Conference. The Senators, pledged to secrecy concerning their discussions with Mr. Roosevelt, waved aside questioners or reported a satisfactory interchange of views. The Texan issued this terse statement: _ "Until the meeting of Roosevelt, Adg Stalin and Churchill, I hope that dvantages of there will be no resolutions present- ed in the Senate or general discus- sions which would disturb the deli- cate international situation."

DIXON Associated Press Correspondent IN BELGIUM, Jan. 6.-(..P)-That pair of pink and blue pajamas has done it again for Capt. Albert E. Milloy of Hattiesburg, Miss., a para- trooper. So it's about time to tellj their story of charm.l It should be explained that the pajamas are charmed-not charm- ing-although, on the other hand, I certainly have no intention of mak- ing any snide remarks about any, paratrooper's wearing apparel. They may be charming to him, but that's strictly a personal matter. Has Fought in Many Countries Anyhow, Albert has fought this war for a couple of years in some half dozen different lands which is enough to make the ordinary guy slightly superstitious, if not more so. And paratroopers generally are con- sidered somewhat extraordinary in the matter of living on luck. A member of the 82nd Airborne Division, Captain Milloy now is help- ing buck back the German bulge into Belgium, which is where the most recent incident occurred-but that's getting ahead of the story. Back in Ft. Benning, Ga., in what now is known to members of the 82nd as "the old country," Albert received this pair of pajamas from Miss Frances Barron, a Hattiesburg girl who, according to Albert, has brown hair and "makes the average pin-up girl look puny." Jumps in Pajamas Came the morning when he was scheduled to make his first jump there. He overslept. Rudely awak- ened at the last minute, he pulled a pair of coveralls over his pajas and, thus attired a short time later, he yelled, "Geronimo," and hit the silk. The jump was successful. Not be- ing one to crack such an obvious omen of good fortune in the teeth, Milloy promptly made the pajamas a permanent part of his jumping apparel. Since then, he has donned the pajamas before jumping into at least six countries including Sicily, Italy and Holland. He has spent 275 odd days in combat and has had more close calls than any six men could be expected to survive. He gives the pajamas all the credit. Shortlyafter the Salerno jump, a 155 mm. shell struck squarely in the roof of his dugout. "It was a nice life iend Promises r Paratrooper while it lasted," groaned Albert to a sergeant lying alongside him in that split second as they awaited the blast. But it was a dud. Magic ,Still Works At the Anzio beachhead, the pa- jamas were frayed and worn, but still their magic worked. Three times there, Albert had houses collapse on top of him from shellings and various things. His hair got mussed. Most of the time overseas, Captain Milloy commanded C Company of the 504th which had the lowest cas- ualty rate in the regiment. When he was transferred to another company, they begged him to leave his miracu- lous pajamas hanging in Company C's orderly room. Famous Article Stays with Him Gently, but firmly, Albert explained that Frances had given those pajam- as to him-and that he would as soon leave his right arm nailed to the wall as those threadbare pajamas. HOROWITZ! t W '= ':4 TO PLAY MONDAY: Horowitz Searches for Piano MusicbyAmerican Writers Frankena To Be Guest of Honor At Coffee .lour Vladimir Horowitz, Russian-Ameri- can pianist, who will be heard in the i sixth Choral Union Concert at 8:30 p.m. Monday at Hill Auditorium, is searching diligently for piano music by American composers. He finds that there are surprisingly few compositions of concert length by Americans, but he feels that the smaller pieces are excellent.
