Mexican Government
Orders Closing Of
IS Nazi Consu|ates
Also Coils Home All
Representatives in
Germun-HeId Areas
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23.-The
Mexican government has ordered Is
German consulates throughout
Mexico closed by September l and
has called home all Mexican con-
suls in German-occupied portions OF
Europe.
The Foreign ONCE order last
night was accompanied by a
bluntly- worded statement by Presi-
dent Manuel Avila Camacho that
his government docs not recognize,
nor for any motive can recognize,
the state of things created in Europe
by violence"
The action was based on what
Mexico regarded as an unfriendly
act by the Germans-an order from
Berlin to withdraw Mexican con-
sular representatives from Paris and
six other German-controlled cities.
The Mexican counter-move, SINH
lar to steps taken by the United
States and Cuba, added to the
strain on Mexican German rela-
tions caused last April when the
government seized II German and
Italian vessels refuged in Mexican
ports.
At that time Mexico reiterated
that her foreign policy was dedi-
Gated to Western Hemisphere soli-
darity and collaboration with the
United States.
Relations were strained further
recently when Mexico rejected a
German request that she protest to
Washington against the American
blacklist of firms suspected Of doing
business with the Axis.
The German Minister to Mexico,
Rudt Won Collenberg, could not be
reached for comment, but German
newspaper correspondent said no
one at the legation knew about the
foreign office order until he tele-
phoned asking comment.

While it is admitted that with

against Iran. The much desired
junction between the forces OF

East could be better accomplished
through a friendly Turkey.
Even the British high COM

this subject. There is no doubt

Finds Too Many U. S.
Agencies Doing Job
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 23-The
Senate Defense Investigating Com
mittee has decided to recommend
that all Federal housing projects
be placed under one directing head.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, member of the committee,
said in an interview here that ON
Gals of governmental housing
agencies will be summoned at a
series of Washington hearings as a
result of the committee finding too
many governmental agencies are
attacking the housing problem
Chairman Truman said the group
of Senator'S investigating defense
conditions over the country had de-
cided on these recommendations in
addition to the one of housing:
l. Recall all large contracts on
which work has not yet started and
awarding them to the contractor
who will guarantee to farm out the
largest percentage of the work to
smaller plants.
2. Grant no priorities for ma
chimes and tools to large plants
where the necessary machines and
tools are available in smaller plants
in the vicinity.
8. Pool manufacturing facilities
of several small plants in a COM
munity so that they may handle q
large contract as a group.
The Senators, fresh from hear
ings at Los Angeles, planned to in
spect defense works at Mare Island
today. They will leave here by
plane tomorrow morning for Seattle
and Bremerton, Wash, where hear
ings will be held. Among witnesse6
will be Army and Navy heads now

to yesterday when Washington

6. Uncertainty whether Herr
Hitler really is winning the Euro

may be on the road to a success
which would prove terribly en-
barraSsing to Toxic If it had
backed the wrong horse. The
Japanese military men naturally
recognize that the Nazi victories
in Russia haven't been decisive
thus far, and that If the Ger
mans are forced to fight through
the winter, it may spell disaster
for them.
A smashing Nazi triumph over
the Russians might easily alter
Japan's viewpoint and precipi-
tate further war in the Orient.
Thus the Japanese crisis is wrap
ped up in the other great crisis
which is swelling up from many
points in the European and Mid

munition and three days rations, is

has been developing the vehicle. 1t
looks like huge moving platform,
built so close to the ground that men
can step on and off without hop.
The 81 men can sit on the trailer
platform with ease, equipped with
their rifles. machine guns, light and
heavy mortar and 37-mm. anti-tank
gun.
Experts say the carrier may be an
answer to the military desire for an
increase of combined mobility and
firing power for the smallest self
sustaining unit.
The vehicles trailer is operated on
the principle of hook and ladder
truck, on which an operator steers
the rear wheels to keep them in the
same track instead of cutting cor
ners.
In explaining the possibilities Of
the unit. Col. Murphy said:
Visualize an infantry division
made up of these units. See them
scattered over hundreds of miles,
raising the devil with enemy rear
lines and depots, scooting here and
there at speeds up to 40 miles an
hour.
Suppose an enemy makes an at
tack on our line when we are in a
dispersed condition. A few dozen of
these truck could rush to the danger
point. When the platoon trucks are
running around the country, the
quartermaster wouldn't have to be
worrying about getting food to them
at the end of each day"
