PERRIELLO 0. KS
STREET DEPT. JOB
Gave Approval to Appoints
ment of New Supt's Son
as Aide

Mayor Patrick M. Perriello said
today that he had given his ap-
prevail to the appointment of QUEEN
tin 6cott-Smith to a street depart
ment job by his father, Superin-
tendent Of Streets Herbert Scott
Smith. He defended the appoint
ment, declaring that criticism of it
was not justified.
The Democrat disclosed Wednes-
day that the superintendent of
streets had placed his son on the
city payroll, at q salary of $35
weekly. less the 10 per cent pay cut,
He Is listed as timekeeper and as
sistant cost clerk.
Mr.. Perriello said today that the
younger Scott Smith would do Sim
portant work" He asserted that
the appointment was not against
the spirit of his economy" program
which brought about the dismissal
of As Democratic street department
employees.
1.-THE superintendent of streets is
man Of too high a type to hire
an employee just because he's his
son." Mayor Perriello said. He had
to I'LL an important position and
he had to get someone he could
trust and who would be able to
work with him closely"
The mayor limited that other APP
pointments may be made during
what he termed his Reorganization"
of the street department.

NAZI AIR FORCES
BECOMING ACTIVE
British Report Planes Over
North Sea; German
Raider Sought

London. Oct. 7-UP)-Consider-
able German air activity has been
noted over the North Sea it was
reported in aviation circles today
a reminder of Nazi threat to bomb
the British fleet in force unless
Adolf Hitler's peace terms were ac-
cepted.
Reports that Germany had a fleet
OF long distance bombing planes
able to attack Atlantic merchant
shipping conveys were discredited
in admiralty circles.
1t was said that when convoys
were far out in the ocean it was
difficult for airplanes, with limited
gasoline supplies, to find them.
Other than the activity of Ger
man planes over the North Sea, it
was said the present position was
much like that of the World War,
with the German feet bottled up IN
or near the Keil Canal and British
warships patroling day and night,
ready for any action.
Conveys are arriving regularly at
British ports, 1t was said, without
single loss. It was reported that
one ship had been damaged by a
mine but brought to harbor with its
cargo intact.
The admiralty had organized a
hunt for the German raider which
sank the British merchantmen
Clement OF the Brazilian coast.
But though the ship had been
identified apparently definitely as
the formidable German pocket bat
tleship Admiral Scheer. It was said
today that the admiralty was not
yet completely satisfied as to It's

NAVAL CRAFT IS
NEAR STEAMSHIP
lroquois Convoy in North
Atlantic-Expected to
Reach Boat Today

Washington. Oct. 7-CUP)-Four
destroyers and a coast guard cutter
neared the American passenger
liner Iroquois in the North Atlantic
today. They will accompany her
home because of a German asser-
ton that she will be sunk before she
reaches port.
Capt. A. E. Chiffon, master of the
Iroquois, wirelessed the maritime
commission that he had taken neces-
sary precautions to protect the YES
vel, that a thorough search disclosed
no explosives aboard and that all was
well.
Oficials kept the Iroquois' position
secret but it was believed the de-
Storyers would reach her some time
today. The Iroquois left Cobb, Ire
land, Tuesday.
To avoid hysteria, the 584 passen-
gers, virtually all Americans fleeing
from European war zones, were
not informed of German Grand Adj
miral Erich Readers warning that
he had information ION which he
relied" that the vessel would be sunk
just before 1t reached the eastern
coast of the United States. RAIDER
required the naval attache in Ber-
lin to sign a receipt acknowledging
that he had been given the warning.
High government officials placed
little credence in the German state
ment. s.
The German navy commander told
Naval Attache A. e. Schrader that
the Iroquois' sinking would be ac-
complished through a repetition of
circumstances which marked the loss
of the (British) steamship Athena"
This amounted to a German charge
that Britain would sink the Iroquois
since the Germans have denied re-
sponsibility for torpedoing the
Athena and have asserted that her
destruction was ordered by British
ofiicials to arouse Ameri
can sentiment against Germany.
Twenty-eight Americans lost their
lives On the Athenia.

Old Colony Security Own
ers Want Boston Group
to Be Dropped
TRUSTEES ASKED TO
APPEAR in COURT
Road Itself Wants to
Shake Loss From Loss
Producing Spurs

New Haven, Conn, October
z. = UP) - The security
owners of the Old Colony
Railroad, filed in U. S. Dis
trict Court here today a pc
tition looking to the COM
plete abandonment of the
roads so-called Boston group.
The Boston group consists
of the lines from Boston to
Middleboro and Plymouth,
the South Shore Branch, the
West Quincy loop and several short
branches - all in eastern Massa-
chusetts.
The court ordered the roads trus-
tees, on or before next Wednesday,
to show cause why the Boston
group should not be abandoned.
Commenting on the petition field
today, W. w. N1yer, general counsel
for the old Colony and New Haven
Railroad trustees, emphasized that
1t was brought mot by the trustees
but by the Old Colony Railroad it
self, with the support Of committees
representing its security holders"
Reorganization Plan
'"The Old Colony has filed with
the I. c. c. a plan for its reorganiza-
ton which includes provision for
the abandonment of the Boston
group of properties" Meyer said.
'The Old Colony and the commit
tees believe that the interests of
security holders require that proceed
ings seeking authority to abandon
be commended Immediately.
'The trustees of the Old Colony
and the New Haven intend to con-
tinue their conferences with the
Massachusetts, authorities in an eff
fort to reach a solution to the diff
cult problem presented by the losses
incurred in the. operation of the
Boston group.
"If plan can be devised which
will satisfactorily provide service in
the Boston area and at the same
time make Old Colony solvent for
reorganization, the application for
authority to abandon could be with
drawn, for in that event the ruinous
losses from operations, which are
the basis of the application, would
have been eliminated.

Down; z Polish Divi-
siOns Captured

Berlin, Oct. z - (UP) A
French general staff lieutenant col
onel was captured when anti-air-
craft guns shot down a French
plane on the western front, the Ger
man high command asserted today.
The plane was forced to land in
German territory, it was explained,
and the lieutenant colonel and three
other men in the plane were made
prisoners.
A second French plane, it was as
serted, was shot down near Codes
berg-where Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain went a little over a
year ago to confer with Adolf Hitler
before the Munich conference.
Both planes were part of a French
reconnaissance group which tried
to fly over the Rhine near Bonn. it
was said.
There was minor artillery activity
on the western front, the COM
munique said.
On the eastern front, it was said,
German troops continued without
incident their advance east Of the
vistula river and in the Suwalki
area toward the German Russian
demarkation line, in cooperation
with the Russians.
Two Polish divisions, divisional
commander and 100 officers were
taken prisoner yesterday, it was said.
