KILLED IN GUN DUEL

Horak, released less than a week
ago from the Ohio State Hospital
for the Criminally Insane at Lima,
was killed in a gun duel with
Patrolman Wilfred MERCER early
yesterday after another officer
had caught him robbing an auto
sales room at 3140 Grand River
avenue.
MERCER and Horak stood in ad-
jacent doorways, peering out and
firing at each other, until Horak
dropped, a bullet in the stomach.
A belt buckle and a leatherbound
book in the officers breast pocket
stopped one of the thugs ricochet-
ing bullets.

Stephan S Wife
Her Pro-German Phrases
Recalled at Hearing
to Cancel Citizenship

Words that Mrs. Agnes Stephan.
wife of the traitor, Max. had ut
tered in past years were bounding
back at her today in federal court.
where she faces cancellation of
her citizenship papers.
A parade of witnesses has
passed before Federal Judge Ed
ward j. Monet picturing Mrs.
stephan as a hater of Jews, hater
of England, lover of Germany,
who fraudently obtained her citi-
zenShip in the United States.
AS witness after witness re-
called this statement or that al
legged to have been made by her,
the short, squat Mrs. Stephan lost
her Stoicism and sobbed.
HELPED FROM COURTROOM
BY the time that Assistant
United States Attorney Louis NJ
Hopping had completed his case
Mrs. Stephan had to be helped
from the courtroom by her attor-
ney and a friend who a few
minutes before had been a gov
eminent witness against her.
Today Mrs. Stephan has oppor.
tunity to enter her defense-tc
explain that she did not hate the
United States.
But Nicholas Salowich, attorney
for Mrs. Stephan, said he would
not put her on the stand, refused
to reveal what defense he would
offer-if any-to the government:
demand that Mrs. Stephan's citi'
Zenship be cancelled.
UTTERANCES REPEATED
These are words attributed t.
Mrs. Stephan by the witnesses
"When the war Is over I'm
going back TO Germany because
1 don't make any money here.
I'll go alone III I must and Max
can stay here IL he wants to-"
And:
English soldiers starved Ger
man people after the last war.
Now the German people will
starve them.
And:
"The international Jew has
cause all the trouble. The Jew,
the Jap and the Negro are all
I'm the same class"
And:
americans don't know how
to run the country. The Ger
mans could run IL better"
And:
Look what England has done
to my city Of Cologne"

GARAGE YIELDS LOOT

In the garage, where a wreck
car Horak had bought here and
another car in which he may have
escaped from the Lima institution
were found, the detectives said
they discovered auto and home
radios, car heaters, tires and
wheels. sets of fine tools. a trunk
full of neckties, mems jackets and
other haberdashery, all new, a
typewriter, desk pen and clock
sets and other articles of value.
1t was estimated as worth 81, 900.
Some of the loot had come from
the auto agency near which Horak
was shot, leading police to the con-
clusion that the veteran safe
cracker had made repeated trips
from the auto agency to his
garage-hideout, carrying loot, be-
fore he was discovered.
Police are making an effort to
determine the ownership of 1888
and a diamond ring that were in
a bag carried by Horak at the
time he was shot.

WHY RUSSIANS HATE

Although few of us, given the opportunity, would readily take ringside seat to view the performance showing currently in and about Stalingrad it is probable that only such eye witness account would serve to bring home the terror of that dispatches have failed to capture.
 The Germans have been taught their own brand of warfare. And the Russians have seen enough of it to have eye for eye. The savage intensity of the Russian fighting spirit is what it is for a reason. Read the following account of a Red army officers version of Nazi warfare and you will begin to get the idea:
 T deeply hate the Germans for all they have done to my country and to me personally And at the same time love my people with all my heart and do not want them to suffer under the German yoke That is what makes and all of us fight with such ferocity
 Tt is these two feelings embodied in action, that will lead to victory.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not conapeV
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23

Adverse planetary aspects rule today Good news may be expected concerning war achievements by the United Nations.
 HOUSE AND HOME: Women are under rather an unfavorable sway which may incline them to look on the dark side of things. They may be nervous and unduly sensitive Members of the family circle should be interested in outside activities. This is a day to finish what has been well begun instead of start ing anything. Wartime diet should be extremely beneficial, because there is plenty of food that IS nourishing although luxuries may be uncommon.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor will be much affected in coming months and the commercial world will feel marked reactions. Mobilization or definite Government direction of great numbers of workers will cause even more dislocations than have been necessary in recent months. Neptune in Virgo until August 1943 will exercise marked influence which will be ultimately most for tunate for the unions which are to attain great power in postwar re- adjustments. Trade this month will continue active.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Scientists and statesmen with vision will foresee the new order that will follow the war of terrible waste of life and property-the most de- structive force in all history. They will discuss improved methods of handling labor and providing occu- pations for millions of returning service men but will find their eff forts to prepare for peace half heartedly supported. Again the seers will call attention to the American habit of idly waiting for events that are foretold, thus fail ing to be ready for national emer- gencies
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S.: Conflict in the Caucasus will gain in desperate effort and increase losses of men. The Suez Canal comes under portents that cause increased vigilance. The outlook for Russia is better. The stars pro- mise ultimate victory over Nazi aggression and presage ability to prolong defense by means of clever tactics that appear to indicate de- clining strength. Vastly increased aid from the United Nations will be received before winter closes in.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress through varied activities. Wo- men should be fortunate in finan- cial matters, but they should be cautious regarding letters of all sorts.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be bright in mind and &C., tive in body. These subjects of Scorpio may be liable to accidents due to carelessness.

STEEL SHORTAGE PROBE

The long -smouldering row over whether the nation should build quick new sponge iron mills and also develop it's isolated and Far Western iron deposits will flare into the open in Congress next week.
 Western and Southern Congressmen, plus Secretary Ickes, plus Republic Steel. On the other side are most of the big steel companies and their friends in the War Production Board who are suspected of not wishing the iron and steel industry to shift away from big blast furnace produc- tion in the Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Cleveland areas.
 The row has many other ramifi- cations, one of them being whether the S1-a-year men represent them selves or the Government. Another is why we have desperate steel shortage when millions of tons of iron ore lie untouched in the Far West, where it could be developed by the cheap, quick sponge iron process. The question is not en- tirely geographical, however, for sponge iron plants can be built any where.
 The row is expected to break when the Boykin Committee. Investigating steel shortages, will summon offic- ials of the Republic Steel Co.,, which wants to build sponge iron plant; and two WIPE officials who have opposed the project.
 The two opposing officials are w. A. Hauck of WIPES Steel Facilities

DO YOUR SOLDIER SHOPPING
 EARLY

Have you done your soldier shopping? Remember that to ensure safe delivery of Christ mas packages to soldiers over seas they should be mailed in October.
 Don't make them larger than shOe-bOx size, with a limit of five pounds on each package. The Army suggests you send useful things, other than food. Community presents from an entire town are discouraged- for every inch of cargo space means less space for bullets.

COMMUNITY COOPERATION

The town of Baker, Ore, already haS taken leaf from President Rooseyelt's recent radio advice on community cooperation.
 Located in the lumber area, Baker never had any manufacturing. But Baker business men decided to build a plant and get a war contract. Fact IS, they got the contract first to build wooden bodies for big eight-wheel Army trucks-and then started building the factory.
 A local engineer, who had been to Russia to help the Soviets build factories out of nothing, laid out a plan to do the same thing in Baker.
 For an overhead conveyor, the builders got meat hooks from butcher shop, and built a trolley for the hooks out of old pipe and angle iron. To paint the truck bodies, they built big tank, filled it with paint, and dipped the bodies in it.

Germany is faced with serious rebellion in the Scandinavian countries which has grown out of the harsh Nazi measures to SUD- press alleged sabotage in the Trondheim region of Norway where many Danes and Norweg- ians were employed on German defense projects. Germany pro- claimed state of emergency in a 400-mile strip of territory along the sea a short time after the Nazi commissioner, Josef Terbo- ven, above, arrived in Trondheim to take personal charge of sup pressing the rebellion. Nazi fir- ing squads executed 10 persons

SPONGE vs. BLAST FURNACES

SPONGE vs. BLAST FURNACES
 However, the Boykin Committee wants to examine them closely as to whether they are not chiefly op- posed to breaking the hold of cer- tain big steel companies, which don't want competition from low grade ores, developed by cheaper process throughout the country.
 Also the committee may want to probe into the fact that Hauck was formerly an accountant with Beth lehem Steel, while Hobart was Pres ident of the Troy, N. r., Furnace Corporation, makers of blast furn- aces and coke ovens. The new sponge iron process offers competi- ton to the blast furnace process.
 Republic wants to establish a sponge iron plant in Canton to pro- duce 100 tons day. But they were turned down on priorities for ITO tons of steel to build the plant. In oOiieI WoruS, the new Republic plant would have produced 200 tons in two days, enough to build itself but was vetoed because of the steel shortage.
 One great advantage of sponge steel plants is that they require little steel for construction. Yet WIPE has blocked them for months.
 NOTE: Engineer for Republic in the proposed new plant is H. A. Brassert, who has built steel mills all over the world, even undertook construction of the Hermann Goer- Ing works in Germany after being urged to do so by Prime Minister Chamberlain as part of British ap- peasement policy.

she had carefully planned for many
years ahead-save alone for Java.
She has, in other words. almost fin
ished following her blueprint: she
is now in the process of drawing a
new one.
She may not yet know herself
whether this new blueprint will
contain the Indian Ocean, Australia
or Siberia. She must take stock of
ships and planes now spread over
the vast Pacific leagues, and decide
where best she can concentrate. She
will decide this In her own interests,
not in Adolf Hitler's. Perhaps these
interests will coincide; perhaps they
will not.
Distance Lends Enchantment.
Actually the Germans have not
displayed any great amount of en-
thusiasm over the prospect of Japan
trying to establish herself athwart
the Persian Gulf and in Madagascar
of East Africa, even though this
might cut the Allied Southern supply
routes to Russia and to the British
held Middle East.
Distance lends enchantment be-
tween these allies; Japan may well
be more valuable to Hitler in the
Pacific, diverting more and more
United States warships and supplies
and immobilizing or even engaging
the Soviet Eastern Armies, than in
the Middle Eastern oil basin which
Hitler covets for himself alone.
What may tear the whole new
Japanese blueprint, however, is the
sort of sound and fury that goes
on now in the Java Seattle bril-
liant and valiant sea defense of the
heart of the Netherlands Pacific
empire by United Nations warships
and planes.
Before she goes on Southeast or
turns west, Japan must smash the
United Nations position in Java.
The way the Allied warchaft reached
out today to pound an invasion feet
back from the japanese coast is
proof that Java is far from collapse.

Strickland Heirs Lose
Second Bid for Oil Riches
By the Associated Press.

BY the associated Press.
HOUSTON, Tex, Feb, 28.-The
famous Strickland oil case ended
yesterday with verdict for the de-
PENDANTS.
A Federal Court jury held that
the hundreds of plaintiffs were not
as they claimed, the heirs of the
Wilson Strickland to whom the
State patented 268 acres in the
Conroe area in 1888. A rich oil field
was discovered on the property
years ago.
Defendants were the Humble Oil
and Refining Co.. Mon-Sho Oil Co.,
Tide Water Associated Oil Co., and
several other royalty and fee owners
in the Conroe field.
The trial was the second bid the
Strickland heirs" had made for
the oil fortune. The first trial was
in the State Court at Conroe and
lasted nearly a year.
