Peace Cries Greet King Emmanuele New York, Nov. 21 fi Cries of "Peace" greeted King Vit torio Emanucle of Italy when he went to see bombed ruins in Ge noa and Milan recently and the demonstrations led to the dis missal of the city's governor, the British radio reported today in a broadcast heard by CBS. The broadcast did not indicate how its information was received. A number of county officials including members of the coun ty court, County Clerk Lee Oh mart, County Recorder Lanke and County Engineer Hubbs were back at their offices Sat urday after attending conven tions of officers representing their various offices over the state. County Judge Murphy stated considerable business was done at the meeting of judges and commissioners, the princi pal resolution passing being one relating to setting up a reserve fund out of surplusses which will arise principally in county road funds. A reserve will be necessary, he said, as after the war roads and machinery will probably be badly depreciated and broken down. Among reso lutions passed by the county clerks and recorders was one dealing with the state paying ex penses of circuit and justice courts, rather than Iheir being borne by the counties, inasmuch as they are solely for the ad judication of state statutes.

Nov. 21 lP) Gen. Hit ter Von Thoma, the first captur ed German general to arrive In London, is reported by the Daily Mail's military writer to have held in lalks with the British that "Hitler has ruined the reich swehr." The officer disclosed "remark able facts about the bitter feel ing prevalent in the inner circles of the German general staff," the writer said. Captured by the British No vember 4 while serving as com mander of the nazi African corps under Marshal Rommel, Von Thoma was described as one of the school of professional Ger man soldiers who "dispute any encroachment in their sphere by civilians or politicians and ail members of the nazi party, in cluding Hitler himself" "He is believed to have said that Hitler's assumption of the supreme command spells disas ter to the war machine built up by the devotion of the great gen eral staff," the writer said. "Hit ler's economic policy also has been severely criticized by Von Thoma. This agrees with recent reports from neutral sources."

"They want to be up and around." Gas Rationing ! Hard on Realtors The effect of gas rationing upon the realtors came In for considerable discussion during Friday's luncheon of the Salem Realty board. The upshot of the discussion was that while the national association had been informed that dealers in real estate would be granted at least a "B" rating, the local ra tion board had the final say. Most of the realtors taking part part in the discussion were con vinced that they would be forc ed out of- business unless they were able to obtain additional supplies of gas than called for by an "A" rating.
