Planet Shot Down The supreme army command's communique today raised to six the number of planes shot down by the Germans on the western front and in the North sen today. Today's communique reported only desultory artillery fire and reconnoitering activity on the western front. An unconfirmed but general impression that Germany now is ready for some "positive initia tive" In the European war devel oped in informed quarters. This followed two external events of interest to Germany- the reorganization of the Italian cabinet and Soviet Russian Pre mier Vyacheslaff Molotoff's dec laration of policy. Informed circles held neither development injured the Ger man cause and now nothing re mains to bar German war initiative. Dr. Frick Boasii The impression Germany was preparing for some "positive" action was increased by Interior Minister Dr. Wilhelm Frick. In an address at Danzig last night, he observed "England rejected the fuehrer's hand extended in a gesture of peaco and now others (Germany's enemies) shall have what they wanted." Frick declared Germany has the world's finest army, and that "no power can snatch vic tory from the German people.!' Announcement several thou sand Jews has been ordered to leave Vienna and Maehrisch- Ostrau, near the Polish border, to settle in former Polish terri tory between the Vistula nnd Bug rivers caused deep concern among Jewish residents in other parts of the roich.

Use Mall Tribune want ads PRANKS FEATURE NIGHT IN COUNTY After getting first hand in formation through alert patrols last night and checking on the few complaints received today, city, state and county authori ties have come to the conclusion that Jackson county's Hallowe'en celebrants conducted their ca vortings in a very mild and or derly manner, in comparison with other years. Chief of Police Clatous Mc Credie stated that no serious property damage marred the night in Medford, although the streets were literally jammed with hilarious youths. A picket fence was torn down and several trailers were removed from their rightful location, but other than that the youths confined their prankcry to soaping windows, overturning garbage cans, play ing "trick or treat" and the like. The sheriff's office reported that it didn't have a single com plaint last night from the out lying districts. Talent appeared the hardest hit, it was stated, with several signs being torn down, but no serious damage done. Sheriff's deputies patrolled in all the surrounding towns and claimed celebrations were of a rather quiet nature. In Jacksonville, state police and the sheriff's office reported. a huge "Chic Sale" structure was dragged by a hundred or so youths and placed in the middle of the highway in front of the old courthouse, where it stood most of the night, while automo biles carefully found their way around it.

Furnas commented that he was not disputing Mr. Iverson's assertion, but that if such a promise had been made it was an unwise promise. Mr. Iverson objected infor mally to the dropping of a $608 annual rental charged the water department in past years. Mr. Farrell explained that the city used to make a tax levy to help liquidate a water bond issue, but since the bonds have been re tired and there is no further levy, the water department felt the city should provide free quarters. Mr. Iverson said he thought it was a "sort of swap," but ex pressed the fear the water de partment would have $600 more a year "to spend" whereas the tax payers would have an addi tional like amount to pay. Tend to Grow Referring again to the airport levy, Mr. Iverson - stated that "these little items begin to creep into the budget and then have a tendency to increase year by year. The school budget has got away from us entirely and is now ruiyiing hog wild." With Mr. Iverson's protest recognized, the council adopted a resolution approving the bud get. Councilmen H. S.
