GENERAL MOTORS
 CORP. IN TROUBLE
Government Petitions for Receiver-Alleges Anti=
 Trust Laws Broken

Chicago, Oct. 4.-UP)-The gov- ernment petitioned U. s. district court today for appointment of a receiver for the General Motors Ac- ceptance Corporation on charge that the company and its parent, the General Motors Corporation, ivo- lated the Sherman antitrust law.
 The petition charged GMAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Gen. eral Motors Corporation and that the two corporations had coerced dealers to finance wholesale and re- tail sales of General Motors auto- mobiles through GMAC.
 The petition was filed under the name of Thurman Arnold, of the U. s. department of justice, who obtained anti trust indictments against General Motors, Ford Mo- tor Company and Chrysler Corpora ton and their finance company af- f1liates at South Bend, Ind, two years ago.
 Charges against Ford and Chrys- Ter and their financing affiliateS were nolle pressed after the com- panies entered a consent decree agreeing to discontinue the prac- tices protested in the indictment.

 Fay wore the khaki uniform of a lieutenant of the transport corps. He is the first cabinet member to face a military court in France.

It had not been known that Ciano and Ribbentrop were to hold 8 sep- arate meeting, and it's nature was not known. It served, however, to accept the intimacy and importance of the meeting between the Axis leaders. N
 Spanish Official Linked
 As the unofficial hint was given yesterday that Mussolini and Hitler would meet today, it was announced that Ramon Serrano Suner, Spanish interior minister who is both a firm fried of the Axis and @ brother in law of Francisco Franco, the Spanish Nationalist leader, had de- ferred his departure from Rome un- til tomorrow and this was naturally linked with the Brenner Pass meet ing.
 The influential newspaper Popolc Di Roma in first page editorial in- dicated today that Mussolini and Hitler had met to strengthen fur ther their collaboration in the poli- tical and economic fields.
 There had been rumors that Via cheslaw M. Molotov, the Russian premier and foreign minister, might attend the meeting but it was said authoritatively that he did not, and that no Russian representative was present.
 Attitude Towards U. s. A.
 It was believed that Mussolini and Hitler discussed, among other prob- lens, the attitude would take in the event the United States intervened actively in the war.
 It was assumed that winter oper- ations in the Mediterranean and Africa played large part in the talk and that German-Italian rela- tions with both Spain, which has territory n Africa, and Soviet Rus sia had been discussed at length.
 There were suggestions in we'll informed quarters that Mussolini and Hitler might seek a separate agreement with Russia, supplement- ing their alliance with Japan, and still another agreement with Spain.
 It was believed also that the pos sibility of Italian aid for the Ger man attack on Great Britain and German aid for the Italian cam- paign in the Near East were dis cllSSed.
