 His birthday finds Hitler engaged in the most vital effort of his career -the prosecution of Germany's war against the Allied forces of Great Britain, France and Norway.
 Already he has brought to the Reich more territory, gerater popu- lation - and the power that goes with Size-than Bismarck even dreamed of. The Germany of Kaiser Wilhelm II was a small state com- pared to the greater Reich of today and the lands brought within its sphere.
 A month before his 50th anni- versary Hitler was given a new title -"Aggrandizer of the Reich"-be- slowed in recognition of his feat in Czechoslovakia and Austria.
 During the year he lived up to his new title. Never since the days of Napoleon has the map of Europe been made over with such speed. Even the treaty of Versailles hardly encompassed changes so vast.
 War on Britain, France
 He took Germany into war against Great Britain and France. He scrapped basic doctrines of "Mein Kampf" to enter an alliance with Soviet Russia. To the trophies of Austria, Sudetenland, Bohemia, Moravia and Memmelland new names were added.
 Sept. 1 brought the dread Ger man "Blitzkreig' to reality. Ger man planes and mechanized forces roared into Poland, blasting that nation to a shambles in month.
 Danzig returned to the reich and Polish territory was carved up and divided between Germany and Rus sia.
 Unlike previous years when Hit ler's mo;es generally have been timed to occur in March-the month in 1885 when he tore up military provisions of the Versailles treaty, the month in 1886 when he marched into the Rhineland, the month in 1888 when he marched into AuStrla, and the month in 1889 when he took over Czechoslovakia-H waited until April to sweep into Scandi- navia.
 Coup Was Postponed
 It is possible, of course, that the Scandinavian coup, too, was timed for March but postponed because weather conditions were poor for elaborately coordinated land, sea and air movement.
 The accelerating pace at which Hitler is driving forward is appar- ent by observing what has happened since he marched into Austria on March 12, 1888. There has been a coup every six months since then with almost elock-work regularity.
 The area under reich control has grown two and a half times-if disputed Norway be included-and now totals 460,O00 square miles con- pared with 18O,O0O for the old reich.

 Cote, a smooth stylist, was 100 yards ahead of Brown, who was punched with Robert s. Rankin of Preston, Ont, Canadian marathon champion; Johnny Kelley of Airing ton, former winner; Leslie Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., two-time titlist; Willie Wicklund of New York City, and Don Heinicke of Baltimore, Md, last years runner-up in his first as- sault of this rugged course.
 Trailing these seven, all of whom were given a chance to win, were Paul Donate of Boston, Lloyd Evans, a teammate of Cote and Jack Wahl- berg of Verdun, Que.
 Clarence De Mar of Keene, N. H., seven- time victor in the classic, was in 18th place at South Framing ham. With warm weather to his nk- ing, De Mar was plodding along in his usual methodical fashion.
 Walter Young, Verdun, Que, po- liceman, who entered at the elev- enth hour hoping to repeat his 1887 win, was 48th.
 Five Almost Abreast
 Running almost abreast, defend ing champion Tarzan Brown and four other favorites led the field to Wellesley - the hlafway point-to- day in hte 44th renewal of the classic Boston A. A. marathon over a 26-mile-385-yard course between and Boston.

 Bunched with him were Johnny Kelley of Arlington, Robert Rankin of Preston, Ont, Leslie Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., and Gerard Cote of St. Hyacinthe, Que, who had led the field past the first two checking stations.
 Three hundred yards behind Cote was Don Heinicke of Baltimore, Md.

view of the hostile attitude of the Norwegian king and the former Norwegian government to leave the reich's territory today with the le- gation staff"
 The high command communique claimed further successes, as follows:
 During a submarine hunt in the Skagerrak and Kattegat German forces probably destroyed three Brit ish submarines.
 Regarding the already-reported torpedoing of a British cruiser of the Glasgow class north of the Shet- land islands, the U-boat commander on his return to port reports htat the cruiser was destroyed by an in ner detonation immediately after the torpedo's impact"
 Achievements Go On
 The communique said reinforce ment of German troops in Norway continued on shcedule."
 German troops in the Trondheim area were strengthened by rein forcements but there were no en- agreements. The areas occupied by German forces around Bergen and Stavenger were extended in all di- rections. The day (yesterday) was quiet at Kristiansand. German troops in the Oslo area advanced steadily northeastward and north westward. The territory southeast of Oslo up to the Swedish frontier has been occupied and is quiet. In this area alone, Germans captured 83 cannons, 80 machine guns, 10000 rounds of artillery ammunition and 100000 rounds of rifle ammunition.
 The communique said a German speed boat, on patrol duty, had de- stroyed a Norwegian torpedo boat in Hardanger fjord.
 Press dispatches from Norway said that the German occupied areas had been restored virtually to Nor malcy; that more than 90 per cent of Oslo's population had returned to work and that work had been re- stunned at the naval base at Horten, in Oslo fjord, and at the mint in Kongsberg.
 There has been no rise in prices at Oslo, according to the press re- ports, and theaters are open as usual.
 3 British Planes DOwned
 The official news agency said three British airplanes were shot down during raids on Stavanger yesterday and that one German DO-18 recon naissance plane had failed to re- turn from flight over the North Sea. Oslo reports said one of the British planes had fallen in flames at Stavanger, landing on a house and starting a fire that destroyed nine houses and damaged 20 others.
 It was reported that Miss Signe Hognestad, who was to have been married today, was killed during the British raid and that many per- sons were injured.

 You arranged not to pay taxes?" He was asked.

 McGloon admitted he signed the tax returns but testified he could not say whether he went over the "work papers" on which they were based.
 Yesterday's'TestimOny
 Character witnesses, called late yesterday afternoon, were headed by T. A. D. (Tad) Jones, famous in Yale football history as one of the university's best-known coaches. MT. Jones said he had known RoWley Phillips for years in social and business way and that his reputa- tion concerning truth and veracity was the best. He said that he could not speak in any terms but in praise of him and that he based his opin- ion on his own admiration of the man and the esteem with which he was held at Yale.
 John J. Policy, former president of the New Haven road, testified that despite the indictment brought against MT. Phillips in the McKes- son, Robbins case that his reputa- tion among his friends and their admiration for him was greater than it ever was.
 "He hasn't lost any prestige in my opinion" said MT. Pelley on cross examination by the youthful How ard Corcoran, Assistant U. S. A. At torney- General, who put the ex- railroad head through a gruelling test on the stand.
 MT. Pelley referred to MT. Phil lips as Ray" and said he was one of Yale's most popular men and that he had never heard 8 critical word uttered against him either be- fore or after the trial started.
 Charles M. Bakewell, president emeritus of philosophy at Yale and former congressman-at-large from Connecticut was the third character witness called. He stated that the Waterbury broker was a man of ability who was admired by his as- sociates for his honesty and integ- rity and that in his opinion he was a victim of circumstances in the present case.
 The introduction of character wit nesses for MT. Phillips came as big surprise and possibly prevented the local broker from reaching the stand yesterday. Newspapermen present expected that MT. Phillips would reach the stand yesterday, but the slow procedure of cross-ex- animation kept John McGloon, Mo- Kesson controller, on the stand in- terminably.
 Mrs. Phillips and her daughter were present in court yesterday on the supposition, it was said, that MT Phillips would be called to testify. It is understood that several other prominent witnesses will be called to testify as to MT. Phillips character and reputation.
