French Expect Germany
To Strike in Few Days
By PAUL GHALI.


Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
PARIS, Nov. 9 (By Radio -
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler will strike
within the next few days, competent
observers in Paris believe. Numerous
indications point to this belief,
chiefly reliable information reaching
here concerning drastic measures
which have been taken within the
Reich to purge the army and party
Of officers and soldiers whose morale
was not considered sufficiently high
by the regime.
Furthermore, since November S
all military leaves in Germany have
been Cancelled. This fact, together
with intense Nazi military prepara-
tions being carried along the Bel
gian and Dutch borders, seems to
indicate that Hitler will soon use
his mighty military machine either
as weapon or with the purpose
Of exerting pressure on his western
neutral neighbors.
Similarly, Der Fuehrer's speech
at Munich last night is generally
interpreted here as a final ruse to
arouse German public opinion to a
violent pitch in view of forthcom-
ing action, chiefly against Great
Britain.
In this connection it is pointed
out that the attempt against Hit
ler's life may we'll be a putup show
designed to justify another bloody
internal purge.

late Robert B. Spilman, a member
OF the Virginia House of Delegates,

land County, Va, where she was
an active member of St. Peters
Episcopal Church. Later when she
came here she joined ST. Andrews
Episcopal Church. She made her
home at 134l Clifton street NV.

der, Mrs. Erdine S. Woodson and
Miss Iona H. Spilman, all of this

Navy Medical Center
Foundation Soon
To Be Completed
Bids for Steel Frumino
Of 20-Story Tower to Be
Opened November n

Work on the foundations of the
$4.800,0O0 Navy Medical Center at
Bethesda, Nd, running two months
ahead of schedule, will be COM
pleted by the middle of November,
the Navy Department announced
today.
Bids on the structural steel franz
Ing Of the 20-story tower part of
the center have been asked and will
be opened on November %. 1t is
planned to let the contract for the
steel work of the tower later this
month. This, 1t was said, will mean
that the actual placing of steel
work will begin early in January.
Sometime in February, Navy off,
cials said, contract for construction
of the superstructure of the main
building and the auxiliary buildings
will be let. This contract will in
clude the Hospital Corps quarters,
nurses quarters, pharmacists and
officers quarters and the buildings
in the industrial center.
Exposed aggregate has been ap-
proved for the exterior finish. This
material, the same as was used in
the construction of the new model
experimental basin at Carderock,
Nd, is cast in large blocks with
small pieces of quartz or other ma
terial in the exposed surface.
Navy officials said the change from
brick to exposed aggregate made
necessary the redesigning of the
tower to carry an additional weight.
Work is being commenced on sur
veying and clearing for the fence
which will surround the property.
There will be nearly 2 miles of 6-foot
wire fence, most of which runs
through thick woods. 1t is estimated
the fence will cost $4,000.

threat to battl the town committee

Friends of DR.. Godfrey say that
unless the intra-party dispute is set
tied soon, he may be unwilling to en-
ter the race for the mayoralty NOM
nation. His plan to resign from the
town committee may have some sig
nificance in this regard.
It had been thought that DR.. God

the opposing groups, or at least fur

Element sa .isfactory to both sides.
The feeling in the town committee
is that it might be good policy to
have additional designations but that
the reorganization group, led by
State Chairman j. Francis Smith
has been too arbitrary In demanding
the designations of all. The principal
objection is to the methods used by
the reorganization faction, the town
committeeman feeling that the diff
ferences could have been settled
quietly and satisfactorily but for the
issuance of ultimatums.
1t is virtually certain that the
town committee will make no al
tempt to seek a conference with Mr..
Lynch or an committee appointed
by him, which the statement by Mr..
Lynch said yesterday would be nee
essary.
Members of the reorganization
group differed sharply themselves at
their meeting Monday night. Several
claimed that the wrong methods
were being used.

GERMAN MINISTER
OFF FOR MOSCOW
Won RibbentrOp Accom-
panied By Trained Corps
Leaves Via Plane

Berlin, Sept. 27.-(UP)-Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, foreign minister,
left by airplane for Moscow today
with big corps Of experts In sew
eral fields.
Ribbentrop and his aides left Tenn
plehoff field here at 10 a. m, a a.
m. ESD.
The total delegation numbered
about IS, including some military
aides.
It was said that the main reason
for the visit was negotiations on
Poland, but that Ribbentrop might
see Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru
Saracoglu, who Is visitor in Mos
COW.
On Ribbentrop's last visit to Mos
COW he initiated a non-aggression
treaty with Russia which startled
the world.
There weer all sorts Of reports
regarding the real nature of the
present visit. There was no con-
firmation of reports abroad that he
would sign a military pact with
Russia.
AS they discussed the real reason
for Ribbentrop's visit, foreign diplo-
mats received fresh reports that
there might be an important diplo-
matte move this week, an attempt TO
halt the European war before it de-
velops into a full-force fight between
Germany and the western powers.
Well informed quarters suggested
that there might be some sort Of
proposal from the italian govern
ment to Great Britain and France
"a last moment plea to call off the
war.
According to usually well informed
Nazis, the Vatican in the last few
days had declined itself to make any
peace proposals to the western
powers but had offered to give full
support to any italian government
proposal.
German sources said that special
Italian emissary had been in Lon
dom for several days, sounding out
British personalities but not men,
bers of the government. j.,
Newspapers admit, however, that
they see no weakening in either Bri-
fish or French "obStinancy" as they
call it.
AS regards Ribbentrop's visit to
Moscow, it was evident that there
was plenty of opportunity for nego-
tiations on the future OF Poalnd.
The present "rivers" line along the
Narew, Vistula and San was agreed
only only as a temporary dividing
line between the German and Rus
sian armies.
German informants say that the
government itself has not yet de-
cided on the eventual political form
of the area of Poland now under
its control.
However, there seemed little doubt
that at Moscow Ribbentrop would
talk over the whole field OF Euro
pean relations and the future OF
the war.
