 10 Question

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--Presi- dent Roosevelt said today the trans fer of eight United States Line yes sels to foreign registry is legal but the question as to whether or not it will be permitted is still being stud jed from the human as well as the property angle.

 Insisting the transfer of the U. s. Line vessels to Panamanian registry is legal, the President said, however, that other questions are being dis cussed to benefit not only laid up crews, but ships themselves.
 President Roosevelt said he will discuss with maritime labor leaders today. the prospects of working out a Maritime Commission project to give training under commissioned officers Co officers and seamen thrown out of work and pay them through the Government durin g their training.

Military Sources Charge Nazi Planes Violating
 Neutrality Laws
OVER ONE MILLION
 GERMANS AT FRONT
Big Pufseh Is Expected by Army Men as Night
 Contdefs Continue

PARIS Nov. 10.-Freneh military sources charged today that Ger man scouting planes are violating Belgian neutrality by flying over the little country between Aachen Germany and France on the Belgian frontier.
 The accusation was distributed by principal news agencies of the French Government which also said the Nazi scouters had engaged in considerable activity over the French lines and well within the lines.
 The French military command es- timated Germany has concentrated 100 divisions behind the Siegfried Line between the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
 A German infantry division mum bers 15,000 men. while meehan- ized division consists of 11,000 men This would mean Germany has well over a million men behind their for tifications.
 Military quarters professed to see in the present ominous quiet per- haps a prelude to a severe German offensive.
 Tn sketch reports of action on the Western Front, such as given out this morning in French com muniQue, no indication is given as to the magnitude of operations.
 This mornings release said there had been activity by contact units during the night"

A SAMPLE HEADACHE"

The supply of manganese presents a sample problem. This country does not produce much.
 The government IS trying the two- fold job of developing the domestic sources by suitable contracts, while at the same time 1t brings in ship loads from Russia, Cuba and In- dia. Manganese, chromium Il d tungsten are vital essentials to steel manufacture.
 Recently the Treasury opened bids for the first of the desired supply The bidding, to say the best, was not keen. There was evidence that all sources were looking for prices to be pushed higher by the war
 Russia, from which we buy 30 percent or more Of our 100000 ton annual need, seemed to be low bidder but put so many tech nicalitiess in her bid that the Treasury seemed appalled, For ex- ample. she asked the U s. to fork over 30 percent of the price before the stuff left Russia.
 As an explanation. it was re- membered that Russia is desper- ately short of dollar exchange with which to pay for the huge shipments of machinery she is buying in this country.
 Unofficial guesses are that Rus sia will modify her terms. Just now the U. s. is not pressed to buy There are a million tons in private

URCHASING WAR RESERVES, STRATEGIC MATERIALS, HAS. MADE PROBLEM FOR NATION
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 = First alarm over difficulties of purchas- ing war reserves of strategic ma terials have begun to abate. But the problem is still far from solved.
 The difficulties were not made easier by the various pressure groups that arise whenever Ped eral money is to be spent.
 The last Congress appropriated $10,G00.000 to buy supplies of manganese, chromium, tin. qui- nine, tungsten, and fairly long list of other items of which this country has little or none. Au- thority also was given for spend- ing $l00,000000 during the next four years. It must be remembered there is at times a long spread between an authorization and an "appro- priation.'
