WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1939. 0 y By LOUIS P. LOCHNEH Berlin, Nov. 8 (P) Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goe ring told foreign correspondents today he regarded Germany as unbeatable and even if the United States built a great num ber of airplanes "it doesn't mean yet that they are over here." In exceptionally good humor, Goering submitted to questions by foreign correspondents at a reception given by the new soviet ambassador, Alexander A. Schwarzeff. Strange Sequel "The fact that I am here at this time should in itself tell you better than any words can as to just what the situation is," he asserted. "If anybody had told us in 1933 that our fight with England and France would bring us side by side with Russia we should have been regarding him as crazy." Goering listened intently when one American correspondent asked: "Supposing American planes are shipped for the allies? There is talk of 8,000." "In the first place it isn't pos sible to build 8,000 so fast," Goering replied. "In the second place even if they were built that doesn't mean yet that they are over here. Anyway if we built only 8,000 we'd be poor aviators.'' Unawed by U. S. Planet Again an American asked, 'there are said to be 800 ready It American docks for ship ment?" "Well that's something, but by no means enough," Goering said. "We certainly are not afraid of American planes." When asked why Germany didn't attack the British coast, but contented herself with at tacks on warships, the field mar shal asserted: "Warships are more import ant strategic objects than the coast." "But why, if you are in such excellent condition, didn't you open a tilitz krieg' (lightning ,war) on England?" a corres pondent persisted. "Because we are humane, Goering quickly replied a.id, growing serious, added, "please gentlemen, that's no joke." VILLAGE ENJOYS TAX-FREE YEAR Milton, Mass. (U.R) This com munity of fewer than 500 per sons gets a free ride on the fi nancial merry-go-round for the next 12 months. Mayor Kenneth H. Simmons told the city council there will be no taxes next year. Reason: The city books are balanced and the state will pay for the ride in the form of state liquor board and highway department alloca tions. This relatively simple solution is a permanent one, Mayor Sim mons declared. Furthermore, he added, it was feasible in any city in the state large or small. The municipality of Milton is so small that its population is not even listed on the maps. Yet the complete elimination of mu nicipal tax levies will reduce the taxes of property owners about 35 per cent. MARATHON CYCLISTS AT CANADIAN RANCH Hazelton, B. C, Nov. 8 (Cp!

(U.R) America's greatest curse is a theory advanced by "long-faced economists and long-faced psy chiatrists" that its people are victims of circumstance, accord ing to Dr. James Dixon Ryan Fox, Union college president. High school and college stu dents are likely to develop de featism attitudes or are tempted to consider lines of least resis tance in carving careers when they are confronted with the "as God wills" fatalists, the educa tor believes. "Anything that saps the sense of individual responsibility will rot the American character," he said. "With rare exceptions one's individual future is in his own hands.
