Soviet Press
Lauds Parley
Alliance Promises
'Great Tomorrow'
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, Feb. 13.- The Soviet
Union's official press described the
Crimea conference today in glowing
terms, and the impression in Moscow
was that President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier Sta-
lin all were highly pleased with its
results.
Pravda, the official Communist
Party organ, set the keynote of Sov-
iet reaction to the Big Three con-
ference with the declaration that the
parley "has proved that the alliance
of the three big powers possesses not
only 4n historic yesterday and a vic-
torious today, but also a great to-
morrow.'
The government newspaper Izves-
tia hailed the conference as "the big-
gest political event of current times-
an event which will enter in history
as a new example of coordinated so-
lutions of complicated questions in
the interest of peace and democracy."
Russians will expect a considerable
increase in the blows against Ger-
many from the west, south and north
as a result of the parley. This is the
thing they have been clamoring for
since the start of their winter offen-
sive a month ago.
The Russian people remember that
Marshal Stalin came back from the
Teheranconference withsassurance
that there would be blows on Ger-
many from the east, west and south
--and there were. Of considerable
interest to the Russians is the fact1
that the Crimea announcement add--a
ed the north to the earlier threea
directions.
The conference again proved "the
stability of the Allies' military alli-
ance," Izvestia declared, and added:
"Hitlerite Germany is doomed. The
hour of its collapse has arrived. Its1
resistance is hopeless. Such was the
first and happiest conclusion of the
conference.,,
A deep and firm impression pre-
vails in Moscow that Roosevelt, Chur-
chill and Stalin left better friends
this time than ever before, and thatt
although much was left to the fu-
ture, they accomplished great things
at Yalta and are themselves highly
pleased with their work.
Some persons in the Allied camps
were described as "elated" over the1
results. Not the slightest sign of'
friction developed at any time duringt
the meetings, it was said, and the1
three men saw things through by
talking frankly.

Speak on Salt
Requirements
"Salt Requirements under Condi-

Climate" will be the topic of Dr.
Jerome Conn, Department of Inter-
nal Medicine, lecturing at 8 p.m. to-
day in the Rackham Amphitheatre.
The address will be delivered under
the auspices of the Michigan chapter
of Sigma Xi, national honorary sci-
entific society. Dr. Conn, who has
been doing research work at the Uni-
versity under government contract,
will discuss the salt deficiencies which
must be added to the diets of troops
in the tropics. He has conducted
experiments concerning the problem

fixed return if they will invest in
large-scale housing projects.
"While some of these plans may
seem novel or even startling," Bland-
ford told the Senate group, "We
must remember that there was the
same reaction to the FHA plan when
it was first presented."
Looming as the most controversial
proposal is a federal-backed program
of rebuilding "blighted areas" of the
larger cities.
In general, this idea is to sweep
clean run-down sections of cities,
whether they be slum dwellings or
areas of dilapidated warehouses and
store buildings. If rebuilt as resi-
dential areas, they wouldi be by-pass-
ed by main traffic arteries, left as
quite island of homes, playgrounds
and garden spaces within the city.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Fed-
eral Works Administrator, says such
a "major operation" has got to be
performed or many cities will .go
bankrupt because their wealth is
moving to suburbs outside the city
limits.

WITH THE 84TH DIVISION-(P)
-Eighteen Yanks started out and
only eight got there, but when they
had finished they had overrun a Ger-
man 75, knocked out four German
mortars and captured 150 prisoners.
Every man who finished the day
with Lt. Joseph R. Darrigo, noro-
ton Heights, Conn., has been rec-
ommended for the silver star.
Jumping off early in the morning
they headed for Trinal, Belgium, with
a medium tank and one tank de-
stroyer. Only ten minutes later they
ran against a German strongpoint
and went into action, flushing out
foxholes with machinegun and auto-
matic rifle fire.
At Trinal the doughboys' armored
vehicles were stopped by Jerry's Ba-
zooka.
Undaunted, the infantrymen slog-
ged on through Trinal, fighting house
by house, until they broke through on
the other side of town with 120 pris-
oners, and a number of enemy dead
behind them.
They had intended to stop for
rest, but a terrific barrage changed

tional authorities while 71 per cent
of the ien voted for this.
Another difference was found in
the opinion of men and women as to
whether women should be included
in the training program. Twenty-two
per cent of the women polled favored
training for men and women while
only 11 per cent of the men were for
inclusion of both sexes in the pro-
gram. Thirty per cent of the men
voted for military training exclusively
as compared with 18 per cent of the
women voting that way.
A noticeable difference was found
in the opinions of men with armed
service experience and those without.
Of the servicemen (including veter-
ans) who were polled, 28 per cent op-
posed any program of compulsory
national service training while 42
per cent of those without service ex-
perience were opposed. The other
point of difference between these two
sections centered around the time
when the training period should
come. Twenty-one per cent of the ser-
vicemen favored compulsory service
at a 'fixed age, regardless of educa-
tional status as compared with 12 per,
cent of the non-service group.
