Anti-Nazi Revolution
improbable, Lochner Says
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
PEORIA, Ill, Dec. 3.-The United
Nations may have Der Fuehrer on
the skids, but don't look for any
internal crackup or revolution, -
Louis P. Lochner, former chief of
the Associated Press Berlin Bureau
said last night in an address at
the annual banquet of the Peoria
Association of Commerce.
Hitler has prepared against his
followers arising against him with
strong German Gestapo," MI.
Lochner explained.
He enumerated several reasons
why he thought the African inva-
sion was the smartest thing we
could have done"
AS weapon to break down the
morale of Germany 1T could not be
topped" he said.
Using Hitler's own methods of
giving evidence of planning an in
vasion in one section and then
striking in another also was smart"
Then, the United Nations for the
nrst time brought into use the
principle of unified command, al
ways used by Hitlers armies"

Front line dispatches said the
Russians have captured five more
communities in the gigantic encir-
clement movement and cut off the
escape corridor" for the German
garrisons in the Rhez-Vyazma Sec
tors
Latest reports said the gap has
narrowed to a bare 20 miles
Other dispatches assert the Rus
sian counter offensive has surged
along the entire front.

WASHINGTON. March 18.-Don-
aid M Nelson, War Production Adj
ministrator, today gave Americans a
new promise to knock down all in
reference in war production wheth-
er it is haggling of arrangements or

Nelson said the nations factories
are now turning out good produc-

up more than so per cent since
December Z
In conclusion, Nelson said there
is no reason for false complacency.
We need more and forever more of
weapons, We need planes and
guns. We need them now. We have
to realize the value of time. Ma
chine gun factories are in full swing
and can equip whole regiment in

THE authors Of The Washing

that President Roosevelt should
be consistent with his opposition
to "The Nine Old Men" serving
ON the Supreme Court in 1887,
have written a series on "The
Feur Old Men" in the Roosevelt
cabinet who are engaged i'm vital
war jobs-Secretaries Hull, Slim

around 10. Herewith is their ap-
praisal of Secretary of Com

WASHINGTON-If Jesse Jone:
had not insisted on the dual role
of Secretary of Commerce and Fed
eral Loan Administrator, he woulc
not be such a brake on our wal
effort.
Originally it never was intended
that one man should hold thest
two all-important jobs. Roosevelt
didn't intend it, and Congress
didn't intend it. In fact, it Wa:
specifically required by law tina
one man could NOT hold both Of
fices.
However, when the Presiden
first offered Jesse the Commerce
Department, FDR consented in 6
weak moment to let him remain as
Federal Loan Administrator = il
Jesse could get permission from
Congress. The President thought
of course, that Congress never woulc
give it.
But he forgot that Jesse Jones
as Loan Administrator, had passed
out juicy financial tidbits to tn
constituents of almost everyone OF
Capitol Hill. Congressman remem
bered that. Also they figured tina
some day they might want more
SO Jesse actually got specla
resolution through Congress per
hitting him to hold both jobs.
