Moscow Conference Reveals Agreement
Washington (INS) — President Roosevelt acclaimed today the "Tri-Partite" conference at Moscow as a tremendous success and revealed that general agreement has been reached between the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union on the mutual prosecution of the war and post-war policies.
The Chief Executive said that, to all intent and purposes, the Moscow conference is now over and all that remains to be done is to place the signatures on the document. Mr. Roosevelt said that there has been a 100 per cent spirit of cooperation and understanding between the three great Allied countries and the results and agreements arrived at will be announced shortly, probably in Moscow.

U.S. Bombards Shore Positions On Gaeta Gulf
Allied offensive action on both sides of the world today brought closer show-down battles. While United States warships heavily bombarded German shore positions on the Gulf of Gaeta, 30 miles north of Naples, Gen. Douglas MacArthur set in motion a new drive in the southwest Pacific which may be the fore-runner of a direct offensive against the enemy base at Rabaul.
American troops landed in force on islands of the Shortland group between the Solomon islands of Bougainville and Choeiul. The pivotal point of the new invasion was Muno, also known as Treasury island, where weak resistance from Japanese mortars was quickly overcome.
When the island is taken, Gen MacArthur at last will be in a position for his major blow—the complete destruction of Rabalu as an offensive base. It already has been partially demobilized by air attacks but still is a great harbor, jam-
With the Japanese already evacuating Choiseul, military observers believed the enemy position in the Solomon islands will soon become untenable. There were few details of the new landing.

be in tip top shape. Though the Jayhawkers are considered by some experts to be one to two touchdowns better, pre-game dope means nothing when these two teams tangle, as time and again the favorite has gone down in defeat. The Jayhawkers hold the decided advantage in games won, for, in the series which began in 1902. Kansas has won 24 games, Kansas State 13, and three have ended in ties.
Coaches Were Rimals
A sidelight of the game will be two old rivals at each other's needs again. While coaching at Junction City High School, Jayhawker Coach Henry Shenk saw his Blue Jay's tie into the Clay Center High gridders ten times, with divided honor, as each team won five games. Coach of the Clay Center boys was C. A. Nelson, now the backfield coach of the Wildcats. Incidentally, Word Haylett, head Wildcat grid mentor, was refered of several of these contests.
Penny Out With Injury
Robert George and Joe Dickey, V-12 freshmen who became eligible this week, have been assigned starting berths in their first game tomorrow.
Only Junius Penny will not be around for tomorrow's game for the Jayhawkers, since the knee injured in the Nebraska game has been slow in healing. George Dick, who broke a tooth in Wednesday's practice, is rarin' to go. Bob Carson will be playing his last game before going into the marines Monday. Dou Barrington, who was sick and missed two practices this week, will also be on hand.
Even though this game will probably be the best home game of the season because of the intense rivalry and the relative equality of the two teams, only a small crowd is expected on hand as many students have gone home for the between- semester vacation.
