was caused by the resignation oj Attorney Frederick w. Palombar whose appointment as city court prosecutor at $4,000 a year led to ths original meeting of the protest" faction in June.
 The spokesman Eaid that asSllr- arces have been received from ex- Mayor Perriello that if the organi- zation should offer him the nomira- tion for mayor in a political ma neuver, he would refuse unless as- sured that Q wholesale houseclean- ing of the leadership would be made.
 Rest of Ticket Uncertain
 Makeup of the primary ticket be- low the top position is uncertain, except for the registrar of voters nomination, which appears to Ee slated for Harold K. Hadley, Young Republican leader.
 Mir. Hadley was asked today about his willingness to oppose Registrar Taller in 3 primary but declined comment. Mir Perriello likewise de- clined to comment.
 The anti-organization spokesman emphasized that the group will carry on its fight to upset the lead ership as long as necessary. It will have candidate for town chairman to oppose Chairman Hall when town committee officers come up for elec- tion next spring, as well as candi- dates for other posts.
 Changes in party rules will be sought, principally elimination of the present rule whereby the town chairmn can appoint or dismiss dis trict leaders as he sees it, without reason or explanation.
 No Idle Threat
 That the disclosure of plans for q primary fight constitutes an idle threat can be seen from the fact that the protest" factions workers have been carefully studying the primary lists and have been check ing the records of two years ago when ex-Mayor Perriello, denied the nomination for mayor by the leader ship. lost out by . small margin in 8 primary battle.

put more punch into Americas war aid program led observers to believe that some reorganization of war-aid agencies is planned. MT. Roosevelt characterized as pure invention, however, reports from Congressional sources that he planned to place Vice President Henry A. Wallace at the head of a new super-agency to coordinate defense activities.
 Judge Samuel I. Rosenman of New York, longtime personal ad- wiser to the president, is studying a plan for eliminating policy conflict between the office of production management and the office of price administration and civilian supply. Some quarters suggested that his study encompasses broader range, possibly complete "streamlintng" of the defense organization.
 Production problems were believed discussed at a two-hour conference between Lord Beaverbrook, Britain's supply minister, and William S. Knudsen, OPM director general.
 Beaverbrook told reporters that he had asked many favors and conces- siors" of Knudsen. It was under stood that he had emphasized the vital need for expanding arms pro- duction here if the United States is to become an effective arsenal of democracy"
 While establishment of the new CnY,tb A4lorffo foV.V.1y rny1tn OcfAT1- sibly is for the purpose of facilitating the delivery of planes to Britain's middle east forces, certain respon- sible quarters said it could be used to move aircraft to Russia.
 q am advised" said Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, "that responsible agency has already devised a system of getting planes to Russia" He declined to say more.
 Reliable sources said Pan-Amer- ican AirWays not only will fly the aircraft to the Afri- can west coast but will deliver them by air across a 4,000-mile stretch of equatorial Africa to Khartoum, An glo-Egyptian Sydan. Surveys of the route already have been made.
 According to these sources, the planes will be flown from the United States to Natal, Brazil, and then ferried across the 100 mile stretch of the south Atlantic to Bathurst British Gambia, on the western bulge of Africa. From there, they would be flown down the coast to Freetown, in Sierra Leone, a Brit ish territory. Then the route would extend to Monrovia, Liberia and to Takoradi, African gold coast and La- gos, Nigeria.
 The cross-c continent route would begin at Lagos. The planes would be flown to Lake Chad, in French equatorial Africa, which is in Free French hands, and to Khartoum by way of Fl Flasher in western Anglo Egyptian Sudan.

 Detroit,s 1000 taxicahs were swamped with orders, many of which could not be handled imme- diately. Obliging motorists helped hundreds of workers to offices and factories. A spokesman for general Motors Corp. said its defense work CTS were arriving late.
 Many Workers Out
 Several other defense plants said many of their workers had not ar- rived yet but were expected. Most Ford Motor Company employees were not seriously affected.

 Several isolationist congressman suggested that a clear-cut revalua- tion of foreign policy would serve as a valuable tonic to army moral.
 Rep. Dewey Short, R., Mo, said "A serious and alarming slump in army morale" has resulted largely from uncertainty over ultimate na- tional policy.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, Of the military affairs committee, said a re-statement of this country's "aims and objectives" would be de- sirable immediately but held that ''complete report" because there was probably much of strategical nature That must be held secret
