Benes in Moscow To Sign War Pact Moscow, Dec. 11 (U.W Dr. Edouard Benes, president of the Czech emigre government, arrived today from London by way of the middle east to sign what was expected to be an epoch-making 20-year Soviet-Czech war and postwar mutual assistance pact. Informed sources believed the treaty would serve as a "master plan" for Russian relations with other central European nations, notably Poland, who presumably would be welded into an impregnable barrier against future German dreams of "Drang Nach Osten." The usually reserved Russians trotted out their most elaborate protocol for the reception of Dr.

Lee O'Daniel Texas), addressing the National Republican Club, Manhattan, said yesterday that a law forbidding reelection to Federal offices was the surest means of returning to the people the control now vested in "a small minority group of professional politicians." O'Daniel said neither the Republican or the Democratic party today stands collectively -for any "fixed principles at Government," and neither party is running the Churchill-Stalin Teheran pledge to destroy Nazi seapower, 5 BROOKLYN STORE OPEN THIS WEEK 'TIL 9 (Sat. 9:30 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.)

More than 99 percent of the merchant ships under escort reached harbor In safety, the two ministries announced in a communique, and the U-boats could at no time reach two valuable convoys which were their targets for a concentrated attack. None of the warsHips was damaged or suffered casualties. Two coastal command aircraft were forced down at sea and another damaged, but surface vessels picked up the majority of all crews. The airmen suffered casualties. 11 Downed In 6 Days Today's announcement ran to 11 the number of Nazi U-boat sinkings revealed here in six days.

Naval sources said the actions covered in the two announcements were not the same. The frigate H. M. 8. Byard accounted for one of the U-boats whose sinking was announced today and the corvette H.

M. 8. Sunflower sank a secpnd. Bombers, including Liberators based on Iceland, sank the other three. Observers recalled that Washington announced two days ago that the U-boat sinkings in November were greater than the number of Allied vessels sunk.

No less than 20 U-boats were In the vicinity of the two Allied convoys, running about 60 miles apart, when British destroyers opened the attack near evening, the communique disclosed. Depth charges disrupted the enemy force and soon after dawn a coastal command Liberator sought to attack a U-boat sighted on the surface, but was crippled by her anti-aircraft fire and unable to drop depth bombs. Then the Liberator, whose pilot was not identified, continued to circle the U-boat until it was forced down. Meanwhile it had summoned another Liberator, which damaged the U-boat and forced it r': BOSCIIWITZ JEWELERS ESf. 1896 8020 Fifth Av.

The domination of "fellow-travelers and Communistic philosophers," built up in Washington during the past 10 years, he said, can be broken only by an able and courageous Congress that is "looking more to the welfare of the people than it is looking to the next general election." O'Daniel urged adoption of the resolution for a Constitutional Amendment, which he has introduced in the Senate, to limit Presidential and Congressional tenure to a single six-year term. "It may be that long service In the United States Senate or in the House of Representatives teaches lessons to our public servants," O'Daniel said, "but against this we must balance something else The best way to keep our public servants close to the people is to see that they do not remain in Washington so long that' they become the subservient slaves of the Executive Department of Government and of the Bureaucratic Department of Government." When our fighting men return, O'Daniel concluded, let us not be forced to the humiliating confession that "while they were fighting to destroy dictatorship abroad, you and I through our negligence and our inaction have allowed dictatorship to be. established here at home.

Liberator Crew Rescued Several warships which had headed south from the northern of the two convoys depth-bombed the area and a corvette picked up the crew of the downed Liberator. Later that day another Liberator attacked a second U-boat found trailing the convoy and sank it with depth charges after first being beaten off by the German Ack-Ack. A British warship made some of the U-boat crew prisoners. At the same time, three Liberators from Iceland attacked another U-boat, bombing in turn until the U-boat's stern shot out of the water at a 60-degree angle and then plunged back, leaving 15 men in the sea.

The U-boats attacked through the second night, but were driven off by warships in a battle which lasted until dawn, when land-based Liberators and Hudsons and U. 8. Navy Venturas took over air cover for the convoys. An R. C.

A. F. Sunderland fought the next skirmish, damaging one of two U-boats sighted on the surface. The Sunderland was forced down by anti-aircraft fire which killed three members of the crew and so damaged the aircraft that it split upon striking the water. A warship picked up survivors, but the Sunderland's captain went down with his plane.
