Turk Leaders Discuss War With Churchill
By International News Service
By International News Service Germany had another dramatic conference to worry about today after the Ministry of Information in London announced that Prime Minister Winston Churchill and military and political aides had conferred with President Isnet Inouu of Turkey.
Turkish Prime Minister Sukru Saracoglu and other high political leaders took part in the discussions which were held at Adana near the Syrian border last Saturday and Sunday.
"We had an important and agreeable discussion."
Back in Cairo en route to London Churchill said:
While it was emphasized that the decision reached did not change Turkish neutral standing, it was intimated that Turkey would build defenses against possible Axis attack.
Meanwhile the fighting continued to go against the Axis. The Russians forged ahead, driving to within 30 miles of Rostov and scoring gains in the offensive against Kharkov and Kursk.
German forces trapped in the Maikop area were reported near panic and abandoning great quantities of equipment to speed up their retreat.
There were no reports from Tunisia where the last official communique said Allied forces and the Axis were engaged in several areas.
Allied air and land forces smashed at the Japanese in New Guinea and New British islands, and the Navy Department remained silent on the Japanese claim that it had sunk two Allied battle ships and two cruisers, and damaged a battle ship and cruiser in a battle off Rennell Island, 100 miles south of Guadalcanal.

DRAFT BOSSES--der-Secretary of War Patterson as a key point to defend his charges of army and navy interference with the synthetic rubber program. In the letter, Jeffers added, Patterson declared that all crude rubber for other than military purposes should be cut off and that trucks not engaged in the war effort should be requisitioned.

"My advice to that young man is to stay where he is until he is called."
McNutt said that the complete program for selection of the young men and women for the educational training program would be completed in about two weeks. Selection of the colleges is up to the 9-man committee named by McNutt, and headed by Dr. E. C. Elliott, president of Purdue University.
The army and navy will select the men who will be sent to the school, he added. "My interest is not in protecting the existence of small colleges as such," McNutt said. "They will have to justify their own existence."
Besses Do Not Agree
McNutt's revelation of an impasse between himself and Stimson came when he was questioned on the policy of the armed services of placing men in service or in schools. He said James F. Byrnes, economic stabilization director, has no authority over his operations.
"I'm having lunch with the President tomorrow and will discuss this among other things," McNutt said. Told that there are thousands of young men in colleges now subject to the draft who are wondering whether to drop their education, McNutt said:
"Id tell those boys to stay in school until they are called."

Jeffers made his charges before a joint hearing being conducted by the house military and naval affairs committees. Patterson himself was in the audience and so were high ranking navy officials, including Under-Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal.
Patterson also requested, according to Jeffers, that trucks carrying beer and other beverages and luxury articles which still are allowed to operate should be requisitioned for use by the armed forces.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (NS) — Rubber Director William M. Jeffers today accused the army and navy of attempting to interfere with the civilian economy of the nation as he disclosed that Under-Secretary of War Robert Patterson had written him demanding that all pleasure driving in the United States be stopped for the duration of the war.
Jeffers was summoned to explain charges he made at Baltimore that the army and navy were interfering with the synthetic rubber program.
Jeffers, in these remarks, had called for the elimination of army and navy experts and "loafers" from synthetic rubber plants.
He reiterated his charges today but he refused to class the army and navy men as loafers. Members of the committees sought through persistent questioning to force Jeffers to name the army and navy officers who were interfering with the synthetic rubber program. Jeffers steadfastly refused.
The rubber director also attacked handling of the rubber program by the War Production Board although he said that he had "no quarrel with Don Nelson." The latter is chairman of the WPB. However, Jeffers did insist that Nelson should make a decision and stick to it and not change it from day to day.
Jeffers Says Military Heads Cramp Efforts
Jeffers used the letter from Under-Secretary of War Patterson as a key point to defend his charges of army and navy interference with the synthetic rubber program. In the letter, Jeffers added, Patterson declared that all crude rubber for other than military purposes should be cut off and that trucks not engaged in the war effort should be requisitioned.
