stated considerable business was

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

Bitter on Hitler
London. 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."
Seek Slash in
Telephone Rates
Washington, Nov. 21 W) The
federal communications com
mission today ordered the
American- Telephone and Tele

why its long-distance rates and
other charges should not be sub

dicated earnings on net book
investment at a rale of 24.37 per

A. T. & T. was ordered

by TJecember 1 and

The investigation, the FCC
said, "will cover not only rates:
but all charges, classifications,
practices and regulations in
connection with the communi
cation service rendered by the
long lines department."
The company's figures for the
first nine months of this year
indicated evcess earnings rang
ing from $47,000,000 to $62,000,
000 for the full year, depending
on how federal income taxes are
figured, the commission said.
"These; excess earnings bear
heavily at this time both on the
cost of the war and on the cost!
of living," FCC Chairman James!
