May Sacrifice Tripoli
The German intention to sacri
fice Tripoli if necessary and con
centrate all available strength on
holding the Tunisian peninsula
Is "becoming daily more evi

mored tank destroyers on cater
pillar treads. Each mounts both
a 10S millimeter anti-tank gun
and an anti-aircraft gun.
Few Details

operations were disclosed at al

division, was the first to jump,
Some distance farther along he
was followed by Sgt. Pilot Hans
Koerber, 21, of the luftwaffe,
and two others. All were re
taken. At the Alameda county jail
Koerber and Lorenc were ques
tioned at length through inter
preters. Worships Adolf
Koerber, a full-flowered grad
uate of the nazi youth move
ment, identified himself as the
architect and guiding spirit of
the escape, which he had hoped
would lead to Mexico and per
haps eventually return to Ger
many. He said he considered Hitler
the world's greatest personage
and Rommel the greatest sold
ier. Reports that Rommel had
been driven from Egypt he dis
missed as vile propaganda, as
suring his questioners that actu
ally it is the British eighth
army which is being beaten
back.
He held Germany's Japanese
confederates in low regard. He
spat as he spoke of them and
declared they were not real
Aryans even if they had been
dignified with the title of "Hon
orary Aryans."
Lorenc's statements were in
sharp contrast. Terming himself
a German only by birth and a
nazi soldier only by conscrip
tion he said he had lived most
of his life in Poland and, far
from seeking like the others to
return to Germany via Mexico,
he joined in the escaoe solely
so he could visit the Polish con
sul in San Francisco and estab
lish his nationality as a Pole.
See Defeat
The corporal declared that
the Afrika corps long has been
critically short of supplies and
even at its crest, the Rommel
offensive was powered largely
by captured British equipment
ana nurtured by captured food.
Everywhere, he added, the Ger
man army feels a shortage of
airplanes and of precision in
struments for night bombing.
Morale in the field, he said, is
dropping like a rock.
Lorenc thought . Rommel
would hold on at El Agheile
only long enough to cover his
retreat to Sicily. He said the
Germans in the desert are con
vinced of their defeat. He was
grateful for his own capture,
which he said he made the
more certain by playing dead
on the battlefield as his fellow
troops withdrew.

SWELL'S VOTE HIT
SALEM, Nov. 28 WV- The
state department announced re
vised figures today showing that
Secretary of State Earl Snell,
elected governor November 3,
holds the all-time vote-getting
record in Oregon.
The department said yesterday
that Thomas B. Kay. Salem,
elected treasurer in 1928 with
242,490 votes, had the all-time
record.
Snell's record was set in 1938
when he defeated Emily Edson,
democrat, for secretary of state
298,597 to 70,387, a majority of
228,210. That was the biggest
vote ever given any opposed
candidate, and the largest major
ity ever given a candidate.
Snell's majority in this year's
race for governor was 157,627,
Snell beating Lew Wallace, dem
ocrat, 220,188 to 62,561. That
was the biggest vote ever given a
candidate for governor, as well
as the biggest majority ever at
tained by a gubernatorial can
didate. EX-CHAMPION IN NAVY
