Hull, whose last-ninute efforts to
bring about a peaceful settlement OF
the dispute between the Soviet Union

To Be Futile

Moscow, Nov. 3O.-(AP)-
The United States delivered to-
day to the soviet Russian gov
eminent an offer of it's services
to mediate differences between
Russia and Finland. The offer
was delivered amid diSquieting
foreign radio reports that Sow
let war planes already had
bombed the outskirts of Hell
Sinki.
Vice Commissar for Foreign
Affairs Vladimir Potempkin ac-
ceptad the offer without COM

that the move would prove

Furthermore, it generally is recog-

the very fact Of his third-termishness.
It's handicap which wouldn't af-

general Interpretation is that, by in
direction, Senator Glass was saying
that Byrd, Garner or some alterna-

better than F. d.
In other words, assume that Roose-
Welt, Byrd and Garner are on a par
But there's something to be subtract

Glass reasoning.

to accelerate production schedules
in private industry on crucial
army orders, it was learned today.
This was disclosed as So district
executives, in charge of the armys
industrial purchasing program, be-
gan week of conferences. The Of
ficers were summoned by Assistant

have been canvasing the possibility
of stepping up production schedules
on so-called critical" items-those
in which the army faces shortages.
They include the new semi-auto-
matte rifle, gas masks, and other
equipment for which Congress au-
thorized expenditure of $4,000, 00o

MOTOR LEADERS

Gen. Motors Corp, Three
Affiliates, 10 individuals
Are in Court

South Bend, Ind, Oct. 9.-(UP)-
The General Motors Corporation,
three afflliates and 10 individuals, in
GLIDING Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., and
William S. KnudSen, go on trial in
federal court today on a charge of
having conspired to violate the
Sherman antitrust law.
Sloan, chairman of the board of
General Motors, and Knudsen, pres
ident of the corporation, appeared in
court as did the other individuals
who are officials of General Motors
and the other defendant companies
the General Motors Sales Corpora
ton, General Motors Acceptance

Acceptance Corporation of Indiana.
The indictment charged the de-
PENDANTS conspired to promote a
monopoly by coercing dealers to fl
nance automobile sales through the
General Motors financing affiliates,
thus hindering interstate commerce.
1t was returned May 81, 1888 by a
federal grand jury at South Bend af-
ter year-long investigation by the
department of justice.
Called Misdemeanor
The violation is listed as INSIDE
meanor and conviction would be pun
ishable by a fine of $1,000 for each
defendant and imprisonment fol
each individual for terms not to ex
coed one year.
Similar indictments were returned
against the other members of the in
dustry's "big three"-the Ford Motor
company and the Chrysler Corpora
tion-but the department of justice
dropped the charges against Ford
and Chrysler when they entered con-
sent DEGREES. Under the DEGREES, ap-
proved Nov Is by Federal Judge
Thomas w. Slick in district court
here, the companies agreed to aban-
don certain alleged coercive prac-
tees in automobile financing on
which the indictments were based.
The DEGREES are contingent on the
General Motors case. If General Mo-
tors and its codefendants are &C
quilted, the DEGREES will be voided
If the government wins the DEGREES
will be permanent. General Motors
was not permitted to enter a consent
decree, according to the department
of justice because it did not offer ar
acceptable" program.
The trial, with Judge Walter Lind.

Detroit, Oct. 9.-(UP)-Chrysler
Corporation closed its Dodge division
today, sending 10000 employees home
repeatedly after members of the
United Automobile Workers Union
(CIO) had staged a showdown strike
on the final assembly line.

similar tactics. The Union, refusing
to recognize the dismissals, had
ordered the men to report for work
"as usual today.

BIG BATTLESHIP

San Pedro, CAL, Oct. 9.-CUD-
The 1900 officers and sailors of
the battleship Arizona were free
today to board and leave "as usual"
while unverified reports persisted
that evidence of sabotage had been
discovered aboard. The navy
maintained strict secrecy and re-
fused to comment on reports that
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton and Naval Intelligence were
investing a sabotage plot.
Another report, also unconfirmed
said the big fighting ship was
scheduled to lift anchor today and
resume gunnery practice off San
Clemente Island, where it had been
just prior to the time the sabotage
reports started and where the re-
ported tampering supposedly &C.
CURED.
Among the asserted acts of sab
otage were tampering with the oil
lines, dropping of metal scraps into
machinery, poisonoing of drinking
water and pouring oil into the boiil-
ers. All these were described by
navy men as fantastic rumors".
