3 Ex-Convicts
Confess Slaying
San R-ancisco, Nov. 21 (P) Three
ex-convicts today confessed the
slaying of a shoe salesman in a
holdup attempt a week ago as he
stood on Market street within the
sight of hundreds of persons.
Police Inspector J. F. Cruikshank
said Paul Newman, 50, had admit
ted firing the shot that killed W. G.
Austin, and that Walter Spencer
White, 34, and Thomas Edward O'
Brien, 25, also confessed connection
with the shooting.
O'Brien told police he waited on
guard outside Austin's store while
Newman and White attempted "to
keep the guy from yelling for help."
Police credited a remarkable co
incidence with the capture of the
three suspects. O'Brien was found
standing on a hotel fire escape di
rectly opposite the apartment where
Austin lived.
The police Inspectors said New
man had served three prisons terms
in San Quentln, Folsom and Walla

Price Control
Bill Up Monday
Washington, Nov. 21 (U.R) The
house rules committee today voted
to permit two days' of general debate
on the price control bill, and admin
lstratlon leaders said they would
call it up next Monday.
The committee approved the rule
after hearing Bernard M. Baruch,
chairman of the World war indus
tries board, describe the legislation
as vitally necessary to the national
economy.
Acting Committee Chairman E. E.
Cox, D.. Oa., said that the bill will
be open to any and all amend
ments. The committee added that demo
cratic members had conferred for a
half hour with Speaker Sam Ray-
burn and House Democratic Leader
John W. McCormack of Massachu
setts. Baruch told the committee that
"unless we are careful" the time
may come when it will be necessary
to "goosestep the people, with every
body having the same food, the
same clothing and the same hous
ing." Baruch agreed with administra
tion contention that the bill in its
present form permitting no ceiling
on farm commodity prices until aft
er they have reached 1919-1929 lev
els would not stop Inflationary
agricultural prices.
Japanese Violate
Thailand Frontier
New York, Nov. 21 UP) The Bang

the British radio said, quoting

reports.
"French planes were mentioned
as having been seen reconnoitering
on the northeastern Thai border,"
the London broadcast went on.
"Reports that the Japanese au
thorities want to use airdromes In
eastern Thailand as well as at
Bangkok are believed In London to
represent Japan's aspirations ac
curately, but there has been no evi
dence of any direct demand on the
Thai government."
The British broadcast was tran

them Amerlcanlbullt tanks may
already be within sight of Tobruk's
battered defenders.
The offensive in Libya Is led by
"truly British troops supported by
imperial and domlnon units," a
military spokesman said.
Relief of Tobruk
The middle eastern command's
only communique placed the British
forward lines at Rezegh, only 10
miles south of the garrison town
where a mixed force of Australian
and British troops have held off
every axis assault through a record
breaking siege that started April
12th.
Not since Mafeklng held out for
seven months in the Boer war until
relieved by the columns of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts on May 17,
1900 have British soldiers under
gone a siege as long, arduous and
dramatic as the Tobruk garrison.
Today the end of that siege ap
peared In sight.
The powerful forces assembled by
the British middle eastern command
in five months of waiting, were re
ported drvlng forward at all points
along a front of nearly 150 miles.
They had swept around the
strongholds of the axis on Halfaya
(neimre) pass, and the coastal
cities of Collum and Bardla, racing
ahead in an attempt to come to
close grips with the main units of
the two armored divisions of Ger
many's desert general, Erwln Rom
mel. The British dispatches said that
the Germans with some exceptions
were attempting to retire in front
of the British lorces.
Axis Retreating
Many German and Italian units
retreated westward toward the area
south of Tobruk, the exchange tele
graph dispatch said. The general
direction of retreat was toward El
Adem, south of Tobruk, with Brltlsn
forces in close pursuit.
British planes were credited in
front line dispatches with the shoot
ing down of 45 enemy planes while
losing only five in air battles.
Meanwhile, the RAF bombed rail
roads, a fort, factory building and
oil tanks that burned "fiercely" at
Brindlsl and Tripoli, which was at
tacked for seven hours.
A six-hour attack was made on
Naples and a railroad yard was set
afire, the communique said.
"With the utmost courage and de
termination the crews of Blenheim
bombers attacked enemy shipping in
the Gulf of Sirte (west of Tobruk)
Wednesday afternoon," the com
munique said. "Despite Intense anti
aircraft fire a 5000-ton ship was left
listing heavily and a schooner was
crippled."
Ley CalisFDR
A 'Poor Fool'
Berlin, Nov. 21 (P) Calling Amer
icans "cultureless barbarians" and
President Roosevelt a "poor fool,"
Dr. Robert Ley, head of the Ger
man labor front, told 15,000 labor
ers from 14 European countries to
day that unless Europe "finds her
self" she will be crushed by Amer
ica. Gesturing vigorously from the
rostrum of Berlin's gaily decorated
Sportspalast, Ley told the foreign
ers in his audience that they were
the messengers of the new Europe
and assured them that "Moscow
will fall in one way or another."
Peasant women from eastern
Europe, mustached workers from
the Balkans, roughed young French
girls and Norwegians in native cos
tumes were part of the crowd that
gathered under banners which pro
claimed in 14 languages: "Europe
will win."
Ley lashed at English lords and
American capitalists and twice
shouted, "Capitalism has been brok
enl . . . We have chased it across
the ocean." This drew' great ap
plause. "Until God personally notifies us,
we will not believe that we are any
less better than the English," Ley
declared, "challenging" America to
produce a Wagner, Beethoven, Veri
or a Puccini. He said Americans
should establish 4,000 years of cul
ture before calling Germans and
Italians "barbarians

Flemina Named
Boss of FW A
Washington, Nov. 21 (U.PJ Presi
dent Roosevelt today nominated
Brig. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming, the
wage hour administrator, to suc
ceed John M. Carmody as federal
works administrator.
The president sent to the senate
Wednesday the nomination of Car
mody to the post on the U. S. mari
time commission vacated when
Commissioner John Dempsey be
came under-secretary of Interior.
Fleming is a veteran trouble
shooter. Once confirmed to the
FWA post, he ls expected to play
a major role In settling the bitter
controversy involving FWA and
other agencies In the construction
of defense housing projects.
Several of the agencies have
overlapping functions and their
heads have been outspokenly criti
cal of one another. Carmody has
been described as a "dictator" by U.
S. Housing Administrator Nathan
Straus. Straus and Carmody both
have assailed defense Housing Co
ordinator Charles F. Palmer.
The post of FWA administrator
carries unofficial cabinet rank as
does the post of Federal Security
Administrator Paul V. McNutt.
U. S. Takes Over
Power Project
Washington, Nov. 21 W) The
federal works agency, saying It was
weary of "financial and manage
ment difficulties" in the Grand
river dam power project in Oklaho
ma, announced today it was taking
possession away from a state au
thority by order of President Roose
velt. Legal and other controversies
have beset the stlll-bulldlng $25,-
000,000 project since Its Inception
in 1935, the FWA said. The fed
eral agency proposes to "manage
and operate It for the purpose of
generating and supplying hydro
electric power for national defense."
Among the difficulties cited by
tne FWA were the long argument
between federal officials and Gov
ernor Leon Phillips over flooding of
highways and selection by the state
authority of a general manager
"whose appointment was not ap
proved by the administration of
federal works."
Governor Phillips called out state
troops to take charge of the prop
erty at the height of the controversy
over the highways, In 1940.
The announcement said the power
would be used for aluminum, mag
nesium, smokeless powder, T.N.T.,
D.N.T., airplane assembly, and bomb
and shell loading plants, together
wu.n some 50 army camp bases and
other defense activities.

tempting a craft "raid" of workers

president of the IWA, said his union

next month on the brotherhoods'
petition for Jurisdiction over railway

He said the issue at stake is whe

field is to be thrown open to craft
unions, bickering endlessly for mem

If the railway brotherhoods suc

woods, he said, an opening will be
made for an Invasion of 24 other
crafts which claim membership in
the logging industry.

Problems also are to be met of

Also the FBI will start a six dav
school December 1 for further
training of peace officers who in
turn carry on training schools In
their respective areas, a number of
which have been and will be car
ried on in Marion county.
One of the matters which Im
pressed me most at the meeting the
other day was the necessity of the
people taking these matters seri
ously. The fact that this countrv
has never been Invaded since the
war of 1812 doesn't Indicate It can't
be or won't be. And nobody knows
wnen it might come. The time to
get ready is now. After It starts, if
it does, It will be too late to do
much civilian population training
work."
