Berlin, Oct. 20.-(UP) Adolf Hit
Ter was reported today to have call
ed the Nazi ambassadors to Italy,
Turkey and Soviet Russia to Berlin
for conferences on Germany's next
maneuver in the light of Turkeys
"unneutral" action in signing a mu-
tual aid pact with the Allied pow
erS.
The press angrily but without
special emphasis denounced Turkeys
mistake" as aiding the desire of
Britain and France to spread the
war. Nazis declined to admit that
the new treaty was a diplomatic de-
feat for Germany.
Hitler Plans
Hitler's preparations for the next
move, meanwhile, included:
Return to Berlin OF Baron
Franz Won Papen, the Nazi ambas-
sador to Turkey, who is due to re-
port to the fuehrer this evening.
2-Instructions for DR.. Hans Won
Mackensen to come from Rome TO
report no italian reaction to the
treaty. 1t was understood the ambas-
EsadoF wouldssuryey the Fascist view
point, perhaps at conference with
italian Premier Benito Mussolini,
before leaving Rome.
3-The expected return this week.
end Of Count Frederick Won Schulz
enburg, ambassador to Moscow, for
a report to Hitler on his CONVERSE
tons this week with Soviet Foreign
Commissar Viacheslav Molotov.
Stays In Berlin
The fuehrer was understood to be
remaining in Berlin to take personal
charge 70 the conferences with the
ambassadors.
The German press played down
the signing of the Turkish British
French alliance, but comment en-
phasized the German view that Tur-
key can not longer be classed as a
neutral"
The newspapers announced, mean
while, that Germany and Russia had
ratified their recent friendship &C

NAILS MUST HIT

Unless He Does, War May
Be Only Siege for Whole
Winter
BY WEBB MILLER

united Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Army on the
French Frontier, Oct. 20-(UP)-(By
Military Telephone to London)-
PASSED by Field Censor-Unless
Adolf Hitler decides to strike within
the next few weeks on the western
front 1t is highly likely that the pres
emit status Of siege warfare will con-
tinue throughout the winter and
that immense offensive movements
on the World war scale will not take
place before spring, it appeared to-
day.
This Is my purely personal opinion
based on my experience in the World
war and my personal knowledge of
the region on both sides of the FROM
tier where millions of men now face
each other. Six times since the
World war have travelled over the
whole battlefield.
May Take Gamble
The maSsing of Hitler's army at
three principal points between Bel

gamble with hundreds of thousands
Of lives, to deliver a large scale at
tack upon Gen. Maurice Gustave
Gamelin's between the Moselle and
the Rhine, or make vast effort to
outf1ank the Allies by a turning
movement through Holland, Belgium
or Switzerland, or both.
In my opinion the latter alterna-
tive, an indirect attack through neu-
trail territory, is unlikely this fall or
winter.
Days Of continuous rain have rem
dered the ground extremely difficult
for movements of motorized bodies
of troops. Everywhere rivers are in
food and steady rain continues TO-
day.
Fond Of Thanking
What seems more likely from what
Is known of Killers troop disposition
and the geography Of the regions
Involves Is that any medium scale

Homer Bernier May Be
Named For City Clerk
Republican Town Committee Expected to Do That
Breaking Deadlock-Bergi Backers May Fight;
Perriello Urged to Give Up

Unable to have Homer Berniel
named as Republican candidate fol-
city clerk by the city convention
the Republican town committee Is
expected to vote his nomination at a
special meeting tonight. Backers Of
John J. Bergin, who held Mr.,
Bernier to stalemate through II
ballots during two convention ses-
sions, question the legality of any
nomination by the town committee
and may take the issue to court.
Attorney Michael j. Galullo, a
Bergin supporter, last night issued a
statement urging that the matter
be dropped and calling on all Re-
publicans to support the party
ticket. However, the bitterness en-
gendered by the refusal Of the j.
Warren Epson group to give the
mayoralty nomination to Mayor
Patrick M. Perriello or the city clerk
nomination to Mr.. Bergin promises
to have an important effect on the
city election campaign.
Epson Crowd Walks Out
Mr.. Epson and his bloc of dele
gates walked out of the city conven-
ton Wednesday night when the vot-
ing deadlock remained at 1916. The
convention did not adjourn, how
ever, and Bergin hackers claim that
for this reason the town committee
has no right to name the candidate.
MIR. Bergin was campaign manager
two years ago for the late Sherwood
L. Rowland In his successful race
for the post of city controller. How
ever, the Epson faction refused to
accept him as a member of the
party ticket.
Both Mr. Bernier and MIR. Bergin
refused to withdraw from the con-
test, despite the deadlock.

Mr.. Galullo's statement follows:

highway safety commission urging

The commissions report, which
probably will be accepted by the gov

be restored. The report agreed there
was "justifiable criticism" Of the pre-
Gus method.
The commission recommended: Es-
Establishment of five permanent lanes

wen, New London and Stamford, and
travelling lanes in other populated
areas: inspectors chosen under the
merit system: elimination of the
lsystem In which car-owners who
failed to pass had to come back and

i Under the new plan, they would
merely submit evidence to the mo-

Inspection at home stations of
commercial fleets by special authori-
cation: state police cooperation to
keep the highways free Of broken
Down vehicles: close watch over out

The report said:

Health Service Cut
Seen Unless Funds
Are Increased
Mrs. Wosenet Soy.
New Budget Is Not
Progressive

Curtailment Of some" OF the
duties of the District Public Health
Service unless 1t receives an in
creased appropriation for 1941 was
forecast yesterday by Mrs. Gordon
Wagenet, executive secretary Of the
National Council for Mothers and
Babies.
Addressing members Of the De-
partment Of Government and Child
Welfare of the Voteless League of
Women Voters, the speakers said the
local health service might receive
setback as result of the pro-
posed allotment of funds. She
termed the new budget as not pro-
gressive but stand pat" budget,
Mrs. Wagenet urged the group to
enter into welfare work as a means
OF working for democracy.
Miss Edith lockwood, child well
fare specialist OF the Labor Depart
ment's Children's Bureau, predicted
an expansion Of the Government
child welfare program. Closer CO.
operation with juvenile courts, she
believes, would lessen the burden of
the courts, relieving them of many
welfare cases.
Miss lockwood pointed out that
although one-fourth of the United
States still is without rural public
health service nurses, this country
is well ahead of any European ma
ton in its child welfare work.
Announcement was made of a visit
to the local Juvenile Court on No
vember 20. Mrs. Peter Kasius pre-
sided in the absence Of the groups
chairman, Mrs. Paul Appleby.
