HitIer's Goal Of Oil

By A. T. STEELE,

vsS Correspondent OF The star and
Chicaso Daily News.
MOSCOW, Aug. 28.-Adolf Hit
ler's armies are at the Dnieper, but
their chief goal-oil-still lies far
beyond the horizon.
Hitler must have the oil of the
Caucasus if he is 10 meet the greatly
increased appetite Of his sprawling
war machine. With the autumn
rains setting in and winter near
his outlook for reaching Russia.
greatest oilflelds before winter grows
slenderer week by week.
Moreover, the prompt and de-
termined Anglo-Soviet action in
Iran restricts the Nazi opportunity
for striking at the Caucasus from
the rear. Hitler's oil conQuests so
far have been limited to the fields
In Eastern Poland. which produce
only 10000 tons annually, drop
In the bucket compared with Ger
many's needs. Anyway, much Of
the Polish petroleum was going to
Germany even before this war.
The Russians claim to have laid
waste the Polish fields before evac-
uating them. 1t may be some
months before the Germans can
restore them to full operation.
10000. 900 Ton Annual Output.
Russia's aggregate output of pc
troleum is estimated at between
30,000,000 and 35.00O,O00 tons an
nually. Of this rs per cent comes
from the oil-soaked South Caucasus
region, centering around Baku, and
Is per cent from the North Cau-
casus. The remainder of the pro-
duction flows from numerous smaller
fields scattered along the narrow
belt fringing the west side of the
Urals.
At Dneppropetrovsk, on the Dnie-
per, the German armies still are 4OO
circuituous miles from the nearest
oil prize of any mportance-the pro-
ductive wells around Maikop, in
Northern Caucasus. To reach these
fields. which account for perhaps
10 per cent of the country's produc-
ton, the Nazis would be obliged to
1ght their way across the Dniepel
River. where the Russians forecast
heavy resistance, and across the
Don River, another natural obstacle
with splendid defensive possibili-
ties.
May Not Solve Problem.
Even at the Don the Germans
still would be 100 miles from Mai
kop. And the Russians have sworn
that should the Nazis reach it they
will find only smouldering ruins
1t is doubtful whether even Maikor
and other North Caucasus fields
would entirely solve Hitler's oil
problem. Between him and the tre-
mendously rich fields of Southern
Caucasus would still stand the
mighty rampant Of the Caucasus
Mountains, pierced by only three
practical passes.
The wheat of the Ukraine ano
the oil of the Caucasus are init
mately linked In the last 20 years
the Soviet Union has almost COM
petely tractorized the immense
Ukrainian grain lands. Tractors
must be used for winter plowing
spring sowing and the autumn har-
vest. Tractors eat oil. not hay
Ukrainian consumption of oil for ag-
ricultural purposes is very large
From now on this must come out
of Germany's scanty reserves. for il
it is not forthcoming there can be
no harvest. The only alternative is
horsepower, but the Germans are
short OF draft animals.

DO NOT UNDERSTAND LAW
Lynchers through the years have
never been able to grasp the full
meaning of this law, just as many
police and other peace officers who
daily deliberately violate Article
Four holding that 1.-THE right of the
people to be secure In their persons,
houses, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no war
rants shall be issued but upon prob
ably cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly de-
scribing the place to be searched,
and the persons and things to be
seized.''
In spite of these isolated and ir-
ritating refusals of some Americans
to recognize that the Bill of Rights
covers all citizens. black Americans
nevertheless can join wholehearted-
ly in the observance this week.
For this week marks not only the
anniversary of this great idea of
government which stands perilously
threatened by forces that would
throw human freedom back to the
Dark Ages, but also the 18th ami
versary of another move toward a
broader establishment of these
principles.
On December Is, 1865, the Thir-
teenth Amendment, was declared to
have been ratified In q proclama-
ton by the Secretary of State. 1t
was this amendment, and not the
Emancipation Proclamation that
marked the end Of slavery in this
country.
The measure proposed to the
Thirty Eighth Congress by Presi-
dent Lincoln, was deemed neces-
sary by the Civil War executive be-
cause of efforts made by post-b
lurn legislatures of South Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi to perpe-
tuate the institution of slavery un-
der other names.
Three years later on July IS,
1868, the Fourteenth Amendment
holding the citizenship rights OF
black Americans were not to be
abridged, became law. And two
years later, March 80, 1870, the
Fifteenth Amendment establishing
equal rights for Negro and white
citizens was passed.

GUlGL4ClIlls
This week by Presidential procla-
nations and by proclamations OF
many governors and mayors, public
attention will be focused on the
Bill of Rights, which was formally
ratified and became a part OF the
Constitution on December Is, 1871.
GEORGIA RATIFTES IN 80
Virginia's ratification of the
amendments on that date to become
the eleventh state to do SO, effected
their adoption as law. Strangely
enough three states did not ratify
the amendments until two years
ago. Among these was Georgia
which not until March ID, one hun
dred and forty eight years after
ward, decided to put its belated ap-
proval on the measures.
When originally adopted the lib
era1 provisions safeguarding civil
liberties to American citizens, were
not extended to black residents of
the new states. In some sections of
the country even at this late date,
there is a number of persons, who
by their actions indicate their be-
lief that the human guarantees un-
de rtlle Bill Of Rights should be de-
MED Americans whose faces are
black.
For example 1t IS hard for many
in this section to. understand the
broad provisions Of Article Five,
which specifically holds that mo
person shall be held to answer for

ment Of a grand jury. i. !"

Long active in political and

Prescott's first major appointment
came under Mayor Thompson's
administration, when he was made
assistant corporation counsel. In
this position he served from 1927
to 1881 as adviser to the traction

Kelly appointed him TO similar
post under William H. Sexton,
then corporation counsel, in con-
