COP CANDIDATE
Organization Frantic ii
Search for Opposition to
Mayor Perriello

Republican organization leaders
today were casting about frantical-
ly for candidate to support against
Mayor Patrick M. Perriello in Mon

bald E. Conway, the choice Of the
G. o. P. town committee, declared

of Periello delegates were filed at
party headquarters last night for %
of the 80 voting districts of the city,
where Republicans will ballot be-
tween S and 8 p. m. Monday.
Backers of Mayor Perriello for the
nomination were still hopeful today
that j. Warren Epson and other
party leaders would agree to en-
dorse him for the top place ON the
ticket. However, the party leader
ships strong feeling against the
mayor makes such a development
not at all likely.
Win Judge conway refusing 10
run, the town committees second
choice is expected to be Major John
M. Burial, who was the party's
nominee four years ago. Another

BE PEACE-MAKER|
Nazi Sources Indicate Hit
Ter Inclines Towards
His Mediation
BY FREDERICK c. OECHSNER

Berlin, Oct. 7.-(UP).-Adof Hit
Ter is willing to make peace pro-
posals in specific form If President
Roosevelt will mediate between Ger
many and the Allied nations, influn-
tial and responsible Nazi sources
said today.
The "desirability" of mediation by
the president, on the terms laid
down by Hitler in his Reichstag
speech yesterday, was freely dis
cussed in leading Nazi circles.
A call for an immediate armistice
would be the first move in any peace
program, as they saw it, with an
international conference to follow.
Nazis said Germany would accept
the present status in Europe and to
ask for herself only the return of
the colonies taken from her as the
result of the World war.
The said also that Germany would
agree to immediate drastic reduction
of ornaments, to be effected by all
powers.
Despite the almost derisive rejec-
ton of Hitler's peace" speech in
London and Paris, authoritative
quarters, Nazi informants, in po-
sition to know the attitude of the
government, professed to believe that
Great Britain and France would not
remain cold" to mediatory offers.
Coupled with the suggestion that
it would be nice if President Roose-
welt cooperatet. with Hitler in ar
ranging peace on Nazi terms as out
lined in his Reichstag speech, the
Nazis limited that If the president
failed to take advantage of his OPP
portunity, peace move" by Benito
Mussolini, in collaboration with Pope
Plus and Gen. Francisco Franco,
Spanish Nationalist leader, would be
essayed.
The Italian Vatican Spanish
peace move really was Imminent"
the Nazis limited, but the president
would have time to act If he did so
quicvkly, and would really be best
qualified as head of a leading neu-
trail nation far removed from Eu-
rope.
Diplomats who heard Hitter speak,
and afterward studied the text of
his address, said that it sounded a
good bit like others he had made
after Nazi coups-the Austrian and
Czechoslovak triumphs which pre-
coded the crushing of Poland.
Further, 1t developed that the
speech was along the lines forecast
for days previous, and on the basis

San Pedro, Cal. Oct. 7-UP)-
All leaves of the sailors of the bat

with such plot.

Won Ribbentrop Ignored
Program Offered to Nazis

MUSSOLINI WANTED
5-POWER CONFERENCE
Chamberlain May Speak
on Wars Progress Next
Week
BY FREDERICK KUN


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London, October 7.-UP)
= Adolf Hitler's "final peace
offer" not only faces rejec-
ton by the Allied powers, but
it may widen an apparent
gap between Germany and
Italy, it was understood to-
day. Scorn and derision
were heaped upon the Nazi
Fuehrer's Reichstag speech
in quarters representative of British
national opinion. But nobody here,
taking the government and the
people as q whole, had had the
slightest idea that the speech would
be acceptable. ~. . /
More important. it was under
stood that Hitler made his peace
offer against the strong advice Of
Premier Benito Mussolini, and that
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, German
foreign minister, had brusQuely
brushed aside a program offered by
Count Galeazzo Ciano, italian for
eign minister, in the name of his
father-inlaw, Mussolini.
Well informed embassy quarters
reported that when Ciano went to
Berlin October at the invitation
of the German government lit was
reported also that Mussolini was
invited first and declined to go)
he conveyed to Ribbentrop and Hit
Ter conciliatory peace plan which
Mussolini had worked out, provide
ing among other things for the re-
creation of an independent Polish
state of restricted size, its integrity
to be guaranteed by all the great
powers of Europe instead Of by
Germany and Russia alone.
Mussolini also was reported to
have suggested that all other prob
lens, ranging from disarmament to
economies and an economic new
deal, should be discussed at i've
power conference, including Britain,
France, Italy, Germany and RUSSIA.
Ciano, in presenting this plan TO
the Nazi chieftains, was said to have
urged that it would be extremely
difficult for Britain ana France to
refuse such an offer.
Ribbentrop, however. turned 1t
down, informants asserted.

bart yesterday, was returned to the

declared against being under Smith
domination.
Mr.. Smith declared today that the
program rejected last night was one
which the town committees sub
committee had agreed to support at
a conference with his groups COM
mittee. He denied that the pro-
posed slate of new town committee
men would give him control, claim
ing that "A of the 80 proposed mem
berS Of the new town committee
had been named by the organization
itself and that the other eight
names had been agreeable. Mr..
Sniith charged that the town COM
mittee's version of the situation
was entirely misleading.
Primary Date Due
Town Chairman William H. Dun.
layey announced today that the pri-
mary date will probably be fixed at
town committee meeting Tuesday
night. Action toward filling vacan-
cies in the town committee ranks
may also be taken at that time.

nization committee which functioned
prior to the last state elections and
which existed sometime before the
organization of the Democratic vot-
ters' committee has been called into
session next Monday evening at the
Culhane-for-Mayor headquarters on
Center street.

to discuss tentatively names for his
primary tickets. Workers from all
five wards are expected to be in at

1t is not true that it has collapsed, al
though it is true it could have made a
better fight to prevent this raid on
the Treasury.
Nevertheless, what is to be said of a
President who publicly deplores this
action but permits his own Admins
tration agents actively to solicit mem
bership in the organization which had
forced it? With no disposition to eX-
cuse the Senate for yielding to pres

Indignantly leaped upon the economy

Warning Materialized
Think back over the last three years
and you will find that all the things
which the Republicans in 1886 pre-
dicted would happen if this tax were
enacted materialized. So unfavorable
were the results which followed en-
actment of the tax that Congress a
year ago, against the wishes of the
White House, greatly modified it's pro-
visions.
But even then Mr.. Roosevelt refused
to admit his New Deal had made q
mistake. Before a bewildered gradu-
ating class in the little town of Ar
thurdale, West Virginia, he severely
arraigned the changes made and an
nounced he would let the bill become
law without his signature. Now Secre-
tary Morgenthau, speaking for the
Administration, admits that the taS
may as we'll be wiped off the law books
altogether.
Thus we make progress-yet if the
New Dealers had listened to the Re.
publicans three years ago we might
not today be in our present sad plight
and perhaps some of the millions now
unemployed would have jobs in pri'
vate industry. Neverthelee, we repeat
Glory Hallelujah!
