west"
The same communique, summing
up aerial warfare during the first
week in November, said nine enemy
planes had been shot down and
listed German losses at five planes.
The press paid scanty and scorn-
full attention TO yesterdays discus

The news service DNB observed,

Much space was given to Soviet

lions 22d anniversary.
Meanwhile Hans Frank, minister
without portfolio, arrived in Kra-
kow and assumed his new duties as

P. T. Sartwelle, grand jury fore
man, refused to comment, as did
