N. r., since April special assistant
to the director of the office of public
relations in the Navy Department,
will leave his post to resume duties
as managing editor Of the Chicago

known for some time that It. Comdr.

take some nude pictures. Catoe
carried the camera upstairs to
apartment 202 at 1901 Sixteenth
street.
Claimed He Saw Body.
HE stopped outside the door
while Mr. Tierney went in and then
Catoe asked for a drink of water.
AS he left the kitchen he said he
looked in the bedroom and got
glimpse OF a womanS body.
Then he went downstairs and
Mr.. Tierney came out later. Mr..
Tierney went up to New York and
sent Catoe copies of the picture and
that's how he knew what the
woman looked like. He said that
this was how he learned to know
the furnishings Of the apartment"
Catoe has denied before the jury
that he had ever been in the
Abramowitz apartment before police
took him there following his arrest.
and denied fatty that he had killed
the young bride.
On the witness stand. Catoe al
legged that police had tormented con-
fessions from him and had forced
him to sign blank sheets of paper
on which they later filled in details
Of the Abromowitz murder
Visits to Cell Related.
DR.. Lind said he paid two visits
to Catoe in the District Jail and
that on the first occasion Catoe re-
peated the story of police brutality.
When DR.. Lind and three other
alienists first called on Catoe at
the Jail, the st. Elizabeth's psvchia-
trist said that Catoe asked them:
Where are the papers you want
me to sign?"
What papers are you talking
about?" DR.. Lind inquired.
Aren't you detectives from head
quarters?' asked Catoe.
DR.. Lind said they assured him
they were not detectives but that a
few minutes later Catoe again asked
them where the papers were that he
was to sign, and explained:
IT was afraid you'd beat me up If
I didn't sign them"
The fact that Catoe had told the
story of his supposed friendship with
Mr.. Tierney," a character which, so
far as any one has been able to de-
termine. is purely mythical, was
first brought out yesterday while
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran was cross examining the de-
fendant.
During the late afternoon yes
terday. Catoe made responses to
Mr.. Curran's cross-examination
which twice brought loud laughter
in the courtroom. A bailiff warned
spectators that the court would
be cleared If there was any more
laughter.
The courtroom has been packed
every day since the trial opened
last Wednesday. There is always
a line outside the room, waiting
admission.
It appeared possible that the
case might 60 to the jury Of II men

ton estimates Of agencies which
will require additional funds"
In the light of the language of the
law. the Library of Congress pointed
to the Budget Bureau circular and
asked what course should be taken,
explaining that the promotions ap-
parently were mandatory but that
its annual appropriation was insufi-
cient and that to grant them would
mean a deficit.
The existing appropriation for
salaries in the Library of Congress
is available for payment of the
periodic within-grade salary ad-
vancements from and after October
!. 194l, or from and after the be-
ginning of any later quarter of the
present fiscal year regardless of the
fact that a deficiency may be in
Cured" the controller general said.
He added his belief that neither the
Appropriations Committee nor the
Budget Bureau had intended to in
terpret the promotion law differently
from his decision.
Payments May Be Delayed.
On the deficiency question he said:
1T is proper in the light Of your
statement that deficiency would
be incurred, for the Library of Con-
greSs TO delay the initial payment of
such increases in compensation until
additional funds shall have been
provided by Congress for such pur-
pose-as suggested by the Appropri-
ations Committee and the Bureau of
the Budget"
The United Federal Workers OF
America several days ago instituted
action in District Court to force the
Railroad Retirement Board to grant
raises from available funds.
The controller generals ruling
means that the General Accounting
Office will not question accounts Of
those officers whose pay rolls reflect
pay increases in advance Of a spe-
cial appropriation.
In two other decisions on the pay
act today. the controller general
told the Postmaster General that
pay advances could be withheld as
disciplinary measure and that the
promotion law is applicable to all
employees Of the mail-equipment

British Returning Tankers.
Mr.. Ickes last night announced
formally the British were returning
several oil tankers borrowed from
with increased use of rail tank cars,
means that we are moving steadily
forward in the job Of relieving
and, If possible. entirely eliminating
the East Coast transportation
shortage"
His announcement today said:
Intensified use of available trans
porta ation; the combined use Of pipe
line, barge and rail deliveries of oil;
greater efficiency in the use of
tankers remaining in the trade:
the conservation of supplies. and
similar measures put into effect BY
the co-ordinator's ofice steadily cut
the deficit.
"On top of the effort of the CO.
ordinator's program, the abnormally
warm weather of September and
October has cut down demand for
heating oil far below normal. and
has permitted the building up of
inventories"
Restrictions Still Apply.
One of Mr.. Ickes' aides, in reply
to questions, cautioned against spec
ulation on the lifting of gasoline
restrictions in II Eastern States and
the District. He said Mr.. Ickes and
the Petroleum Office had reached
no definite decision. The restric-
tions include rationing of deliveries
to service stations and pm.-7
am. curfew on retail sales.
Mr.. Ickes released figures for the
East Coast comparing current stocks
with those of last year and giving
the difference, as follows:
Crude oil, 13,900.00O barrels, Oc-
tober 19 1910; 1921 900 barrels,
October 13, 194l-doWn $4,000 bar

oil. 1882 and l0,s75 ,000-down l.

These figures speak for them
selves" Mr.. Ickes said They show
that our program has been effective,
and that the bad outlook of the
summer has been overcome. We
are now in a much stronger position
as a result Of our efforts. and the
outlook is entirely optimistic"

Situation Called Grave"
The situation in Russia is grave, "
Lord Beaverbrook said, but I believe
Russia will be able to reconstruct her
industrial resources just as we
achieved that result under our
Prime Minister.
Stain told me Russian industries
had TO move back"
The textile industry was concen-
trated around Moscow, which is
under enemy fire, so that industry
must be damaged to some extent, he
explained.
In Moscow are the two principal
small-arms factories in the Soviet
Union. Russia has lost one impor-
tant locomotive works which was
making tanks at Bryansk.
These are serious losses but
we should not be too depressed by
them" he said.
Panzer Tactics Changed.
Lord BeaverbrooK revealed that
German panzer units have changed
their tactics in the attack on Rus
sia. saying
Stain told us Of many changes
in German tactical methods. They
no longer concentrated their tank
units, but distributed them among
infantry units.
What the Germans did was to
build up around the damaged tanks
a rampant of earth making them
strong points from which the troops
could make sallies
Stain also told us no German
tanks had appeared on the Russian
front with heavier armor than 3
inches and that enemy tanks varied
from l to 21z inches with only J.
inch armor on top"

Rauschning Sees Nazis
Vulnerable From Within
b. tho ASsociated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 23-Dr. Her
mann Rauschning, former President
of the Danzig Senate who fled be-
fore the fury of the Nazis from
Poland and France to Great Britain,
said yesterday he believed the only
hope for an overthrow of the Ma
tional Socialist party in Germany
was in a coup d'etat.
He was not very optimistic over
a military defeat of Germany under
present conditions, he said, but
added that elements within the Nazi
party were not united.
DR.. Rauschning. who resigned as
President Of the Danzig Senate in
November, 1884, after the May party
won control, landed in the United
States Monday under the Polish
immigration quota to join his wife
and five children after a years
separation. He had lived in Eng
land since March, 1910. Author of
four books on the Nazi revolution
and the war, he is writing a fifth.

the confidence of the country or the

This is a serious charge and the
government gives the member max
ing it liberty to challenge the gov
ernment in the division lobbies."
Called War of Tanks.
In his lengthy report on Russia's
position and her needs Beaverbrook
said Stains chief cry was for tanks.
that the Russian Premier regarded
the war as one of tanks and that
the nation capable of building the
most motors would win.
Needless to say" Lord Beaver
brook commented, "Mr. Hartman
was pleased because his country is
outstanding in motor production. !"
w. Averell Hartman, as head of
the United States mission, was in
Moscow with Lord Beaverbrook
throughout the tripartite confer
ences.
Pictures Stain at Work.
Lord Beaverbrook gave an init
mate picture of Stain at work;
When we came to the discussion
of military equipment we offered
Stain some armored carriers. He
seemed to think they would be very
useful and called them tank
cites.
Three times he left the confer
ence table and went to the telephone
and dialed the telephone himself.
He did not seem to have to look up
the number. = "
Stain said he did not greatly
believe in the very large German
tanks, which we're easily overcome,
and then he told us that the same
tanks and the same aircraft we're
being sent against the Russians as
were sent against the French last
year and that both tanks and air.
craft had been stepped up in armor
and gun power.
He thought that the process
would go on for some time
But Stain also thought that the
war would be decided eventually
by the tank and airplane in co-ordi-
nation and that when complete CO.
ordination of the tank and aircraft
had been developed on a common
front the war might be settled"
Raw Materials Promised.
Lord Beaverbrook disclosed that
Stain promised Great Britain raw
materials from Russia to meet
many of our needs" and said the
Russian leader agreed to supply us
with pitch, chrome. potash, mag
nestle. potassium, timber and can
ned salmon"
I'VE promised him aluminium,
copper, lead, zinc, brass, phosphorus
and shellac. The Americans
promised oil and petrol from the
United States and that was very
gratifying"
Lord Beaverbrook said I'VE have
made available the October quota of
all things promised by us in the
agreement signed in Moscow"
He said he had received informa-
ton from the United States along
similar lines on the tri-power pact,
reading United States promises are
being fulfilled
1--WE have forwarded a consider
able quantity of wheat" he said,
wheat that has come out of our
own stocks in Canada. *'' We are
also shipping large quantities of
sugar taken from our own stocks
in Britain.
Industrial Losses Heavy.
Describing Russian industrial
losses as heavy, Lord Beaverbrook
added:
Aluminium losses were more
serious. Stain told me that we must
expect a considerable drain on our
aluminium resources If We were to
sustain the Russians"
Lord Beaverbrook said Britain had
plenty of raw materials and tools.
but machine tool output would have
to be increased.
