MONTREAL. Dec. 11 — (OP) - Oamiilien Houde. firobrand o1 muni- cipal and provincial politics more - a decade, was elected Mayor of Montreal tonight, four months after he came out of in- ternment.

Mr. iiouds defeated Adhemar Raynault in one of the closest el- ections in ea-Ps history, mov- ing to the front in late returns af- ter the lead had changed geveral times early in tho counting.

tho chief magistrateb chair for the fifth time. drew most hls support from the French-Canadian sections of the city. English-speaking dis- tricts were strongly pro-Raynault, but the retiring mayor also collec-

The voting was considerably hea- vier than the 22 per cent of the electors who turned out for the 1942 campaign when Mr. Rayriaull. won llflflflllv for his third ifirm p! office. The approximately 100.000 ballots cast however. was well be- low the record 150.000 compiled when Mr Houde was elected in 193B. for a term which ended a few monihsbefore its time when Mr. Hcude was interned. '

His internment came after he had urged reside is of Montreal not to comply th. national registrat- ion regulations.

Mr. Raynault conceded thc el- ection three hours after polls clo- sed. at a time when Mr. Hcude had run his lead to about 10.000 votes with all the English districts showing ,.‘ e returns and with scattered polls from other districts

The important part of the British announcement of its new Pacific fleet under Admiral Sir Bruce Frazier. is the recognition of tlie Pacific as "an American area of responsibility" in the war against Japan.

Associated Press Staff lyriicr LONDON. Dec. 11—(AP) — ite- pcrts reaching London from many sources indicate that Germany is. gathering her forces-including. two new V-weupons and a nc.v' type of submarine-for a 1945 counter-offensive which she hopes. may turn the tide of the war. ‘ Two enemy V-weapons—flie fly- lflk bomb and the rocket bomb-l already are in use against south- ern England and continental points. German production chief Albert Speer was quoted us saying recently ihat "V-i!" would beresdy for use against New York before the New Year and now there is talk in Germany of a "V-i." but no hint as to its nature. Meanwhile it is a matter of oili- clal knowledge that the Germans have developed a submarine equip- ped with radical new devices for underwater breathing and it is pouible that some of the craft may even now be at sea. Known as the Sclinorkel Spirall submar- ine. the new vessel has been dub- bed the "Snorts” by the British. London newsgupers have told their readers t at swift hit-run

possible. and ha; England can z-x- pect V-bomb attacks until the Nuis die in their last spasm of resistance.

. ‘"1110 new rockets are impossibl
