Lions Next Foe
BY CLAYTON HEPLER

It's easily understandable why
Fred Mandel, owner Of the De-
troit Lions, and John Karcis. his
head coach, are experimenting
their regular diet this week with a
generous portion OF headache
powders.
Still seeking their first victory
in the National Professional
League. the Lions make their
sixth start Sunday against the
Green Bay Packers who have the
leagues leading scorer. the lead
ing passer and the leading pass
receiver in their starting lineup.
The leading scorer and pass re-
.celVer are one and the same, of
course, the incompatible Don
.Hutson. who has scored seven
touchdowns Call on passes) and
added Ia conversions for a total
of SO points. He's gathered in 2s
passes TO gain 524 yards, which is
more than double the yardage
gained by his nearest opponent,
according 10 records released TO.

ISBELL TOSSED EN-
But If IL weren't for Cecil Isbell,
lPurdue's one-time chain,
Hutson wouldn't be leading the
league. For it was Isbell who
threw all those passes TO Hutson,
and a good many more, too. He's
the leading passer in the league
with 49 compilations in So attempts
for a total gain of 703 yards.
That mark enabled him to pass

WITNESSES MAY
 BE ARRESTED
Boston Officials Consider Action to Insure Presence
 in Court

Boston, Dec. l0.-(UPl Lower court warrants may be sought soon to insure the presence of certain material witnesses when the state begins criminal proceedings tt con- nection with the Cocoanut Grove holocaust which took 495 lives.
 It was believed that persons guilty of minor violations of the building and fire codes would be arrested and held in bail to be certain they will be available when the Suffolk county grand jury opens its inyeS- tigation of criminal negligence.
 Authorities were taking no chances of having a prospective witness or defendant leave town and detectives and policemen were assigned to watch persons prominently involved.
 Fire Commissioner William A. Reilly recessed his hearing and made a surprise visit to the night club ruins yesterday with two scien- usts from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 Carl F. Floe, professor of metal lurgy. and Hoyt c. Hotel, combus- ton engineer, examined heating units. wiring and yentilators and made a careful survey of the en- tire club to help Reilly determine what started the fire and caused 1t to spread so rapidly. They will testify as to their findings at Reil- ly's inquest later.
 Reilly said he did not intend to

DEMOCRATS IN
 TEST TONIGHT
Party Strength in Balance With Chm, Nat. COmmit-
 teemaD to Be Named

The Democratic Party of Connec- ticut, already battered by the out come of last months election. faces further loss of public standing to- night when its State Central Con- mittee meets in New Haven. Con- tests that will deepen existing scars within the party are scheduled for the offices of state chairman and national committeeman.
 Waterbury's four votes, though rumored for Gov. Robert A. Hurley for national committee man. will go to Richard Joyce Smith of Southport. The change is ob- viously at the recommendation of former State Chairman J. Francis Smith, who will attend tonight'S meeting as proxy for Mrs. Ger trude Gordon of the 16th district The other local members of the stsse committee are Town Chair man Maurice F. Tangney, Mrs. Winifred Mcdonald and Cornelius F. Maloney. secretary of the Town Committee.
 The local votes may also go to Charles E. Mahoney of Windsor for state chairman to succeed Chairman John T. Mccarthy. who retires to- night. Mahoney is opposed by John M. Dove of Killingly. now state con- troller.
 The Maloney-Smith faction is backing Richard Joyce Smith against Gov. Hurley. Two years ago this group was defeated when 1t att tempted to have Guy Holt of West Hartford elected state chairman. Chairman Mccarthy winning after sharp contest.
 The local organization is still at odds with Gov. Hurley. It opposed his nomination for governor in i940, with Mir. Smith and Mayor Vincent A. Scully leading an unsuccessful drive for the nomination of ex-Goy, Wilbur L. Cross. Tn the le40 state

Deputy Carson will be acting superintendent, while an order posted today, over the sigma ture of Superintendent Roach, in- formed policemen that Captain Hickey will be acting deputy.
 Stevens Friends Critical
 Friends of Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the Detective Bureau are bitterly critical against the new set-up. claiming that Inspector Stevens should have been appointed to either of the top jobs.
 They pointed out that Inspector Stevens outranks Capt. Hickey.
 Only yesterday, Chairman Will liam J. Verriker of the Board of Police Commissioners told The Democrat that no acting deputy would be appointed. He said that Deputy Carson would be in charge of the department days and that Capt. Hickey would continue his present night duties.
 Then. last night. Mayor Scully. announced that Capt. Hickey had been appointed acting deputy su- perintendent. Asked about reports that Chief Inspector Stevens might be promoted to one of the posts, the mayor was quoted as saying: Inspector Stevens has enough work where he is now. He is highly valued there and needed there
 Criticism Voiced
 Members of the department. though unwilling to be quoted, were not at all averse to criticism of the changes made. Many said that h. spector Stevens should have been made acting deputy chief, at least. They were also critical of the ap- parent disagreement between the mayor and the chairman of the Po- lice Board.
 The Police Board. at its meeting next Wednesday. will be called on to approve appointment of Deputy Carson as acting superintendent and Capt. Hickey as acting deputy.
 Lieut.. Burns on Night
 Reports within the department today had it that Lieut.. Bernard Burns Will be assigned to perma- nent night duty and will be given charge of the department at night.
 Deputy Carson's salary will be jumped from 4.8OO to $6.000. while Capt. Hickey's will be boosted from s4,800 to S6,000.

HITLER SACKS ARMYLEADER,
 GEN. HALDER Infantry Staff Officer, Gen. Zeitzler, Has Replaced
 Chief PUBLIC HAS JUST
 LEARNED OF CHANGE Ends Long Disagreement Over Field Policy in Russian Campaign

London, December 10. - (UP) - The German public
 belatedly learned today that
 Adolf Hitler has sacked the
 chief of staff of the German
 army, General Franz Halder,
 and replaced him with Gen.
 eral Wilhelm Zeitzler, an in-
 fantry staff officer. The
 custer of Halder and his re-
 placement by Zeitzler was
 first reported more than a
 month ago in United Press dis
 patches from Stockholm. At that
 time there had been no public an-
 nouncement of the shift in Ger
 many.
 Today. the change was disclosed
 to the German public, German
 radiao bulletin revealed. through
 the publication of photograph m
 the Berlin newspaper Nachtaus-
 gabe.
 Al OuuS WItn UatucE
 Hitler has long been reported at
 odds with Halder, particularly over
 plans for the Nazi campaign in Rus
 sia. Halder is believed to have urged a more cautious course, par
 ticularly last year when he is said
 to have opposed the final NaA of-
 fensiVe on Moscow in October which begged down so badly in the face of Russian cold and Russian resistance. Today's NaA report, in a manner typical of German propaganda, did aot even mention Halder. Nachtausgabe merely published a photograph showing Zeitzler in con- versation with Hitler with a group of other officers in the background. It was captioned: "Fuehrer at Military Demonstration in Conver- sation with Chief of General Staff of Army, Infantry General Zeitz- Ter. In Background Field Marshal (Wilhelm) Keitel and Minister for Armament and Munitions (AlberD Speer."
 In Hitler's Favor Little is known concerning zeitz- Ter beyond the fact that he has had Hitlers favor for some time He served for a time as chief of staff for Field Marshal Ewald von Kleist during the campaign in France and the early stages of the drive into Russia.
 A curious feature of the lengthy suppression within Germany of the news of Halder's displacement was the fact that the mysterious propaganda radio station. Gustav Siegfried Fins, reported the event at the time 1t apparently occurred in late october and commented ex- tensively on the shakeup. Simultaneously with H a lder' $ custer, Hitler was reported to have shaken up the whole German High Command.

BY M. $. HANDLER United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

 Moscow, December 10. = (UP) - Freezing winds pill ing freSh-fallen snow into deep drifts limited Russian operations on the Stalingrad front to small advances to- day, but the Red Army smashed forward west of Rzhev, where 1,200 Germans had been killed in two days fighting.
 The Russians broke enemy coun- ter-attacks and advanced at some points in the Stalingrad area, where low-hanging clouds caused extremely poor visibility interfering with Soviet artillery activity against the strong German ground defenses northwest of Stslingrad.
 Front line dispatches said hardly a moving object could be seen or the snow covered Stalingrad steppeS and the combination of clouds and snow complicated the Russians problem of locating the Nazi artil- lery batteries for long-range guns to silence.
 Reinforcing Troops
 The Russians were using the lull to reinforce their trops at Stalin- grad. At the same time they were smashing German attempts to bring in their endorsements by air.
 Fleets of white trucks, almost in visible against the snow, poured supplies into Stalingrad ill antici- patton of a new drive when the weather breaks. The truck columns passed files of German prisoners on the road. dispatches said, heading for prison camps.
 Axis efforts to get endorsements to Stalingrad were unsuccessful. In two days. the Russians had destroy ed 73 big German transport planes bringing supplies to the Stalingrad area.
