judges in various parts of
 For the time being they must be nameless, but they include district judge in Michigan, anoth- CT in Ohio, another in Illinois, three district judges in New York, and a circuit judge in Pennsyl- vania.
 Best betting is that all seven will resign within the next three months.
 Murphy has decided to scrap the old-fashioned method of im- peachment in cleaning up the ju- dietary, for the reason that it takes too long and is too uncer- tain. Instead he is presenting the judges With the evidence against them, carefully collected through G-men, and telling them they can resign or else.
 Mere resignation has not saved Judge Manton of New York further indictment fol- lowing resignation. Judge Thomas of Connecticut is al- ready in an institution and will not be impeached.
 Politically, the Murphy cleanup cuts both ways. The two judges removed SC far have been Dem- ocrats, and one has been re- placed with a Republican. The majority of the seven remaining on the list are Republicans.
 NOTE-The evidence against Judges Manton and Thomas was in Justice Department files for over nlne months under Murphy's predecessor.
 SHAKEN BRITISH GUARANTEES Mussolini's and Hitler's tactics now are chiefly designed to shake the confidence of smaller Euro- pean powers in Great Britain.
 Mussolini went into Albania after Chamberlain emphatically told him not to. Following which Chamberlain said, in effect: "All right, I won't spank this time, but don't do it again."
 Now l,e has told Mussolini not to go into Greece, which ought to be a good guaranty that Il Duce will go in.
 This is why the Rumanians want to see the exact color of the British guaranties, and why the Poles are worried over their British security pact.
 Chief goal of Hitler-Musso- lini strategy is to shake all the potential allies off the French British alignment, then it will be lot safer to take those two powers to the cleaners.
