 low Forecasts

Washington, Oct. 1.-(UP)-War Production chairman Donald M. Nelson said today that arms output last month was "stih spotty" and no better than in August when produc- ton was. IA per cent below fore- casts and nothing to brag about"
 He reviewed the many-sided oper- ationS of WIPE in the first of a series of weekly press conferences. but did not go into details.
 The food situation, he said, is in the main good" He saw no poSsibil- ity that it would be "acute" in the near future, but he referred ques- tioners to Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, chairman of the food requirements committee. Asked specifically whether there was to be reduction in supplies os foods, other than meats soon, Mel. son replied:
 T wouldn't be able to answer that"
 He said cuts which have been or. dered in civilian economy will not be felt by the man in the street fol three or four months. He said inven. tories on hand will take care of tha' situation. i

HITLER FORESEES
 LONC-DRAWN WAR
Observers Think Germany Will Now Try to Hang
 On to Gains

London, Oct. 1.-(UP)-A Berlin broadcast quoted the Voelkischer Beobachter, official newspaper or gan of the Nazi party, today that ''the fuehrer frankly told his people of the gravity of the fighting and the endurance demanded by the war"
 Earlier a German broadcast had confirmed that Hitler would con- sider the strategic objective of the German summer offensive as reach- ed with the barring of the Volga river to Russian traffic.
 Hitler's speech yesterday was re- garded here as so weak that one newspaper suggested that 1t was the work of 8 ghost writer.
 Tt was different" the Daily Ex' press said. 'It was slick, more hip pant, less loaded with homemade history.
 'sThe real meaning of the speech for Germans was: You have com mitted yourselves. You have be. come my accomplices in the bloodi. est crimes this world has evel known. Men and women the work over cry out for vengeance and re tribution for you. There is no meani of averting justice but by fighting on to the end"
 The view was shared in diplo. matic quarters that Hitler empha' sized especially the necessity O holding present German gains. The! said he failed to make any prom ise of final victory or even to prom ise thatt he war would find within foreseeable future.
 And now, says Hitler, German, will hang on and see which side I exhausted first" the Daily Mail com mented. "No one can miss the Ire mendous significance of this state ment, least of all the German peo' ple. It means that Hitler no longe' looks for an all out victory"
 The conservative Daily Telegraph said:
 "Compared to the substance o Hitler's utterances up to 8 year az the speech marks 8 retreat iron his former overwhelming contidenc which we of the United Nation may now view with moderate en couragement.

DISCRIMINATION ! CHARGE PROBED
New England Governors l Hear Plea for Further
 Furnace Conversion

Providence, R. T., Oct. 1.--(UP)- Charges of discrimination against New England in connection with the fuel oil supply are being investigate ed, federal authorities told the six New England governors who met here today to discuss the oil emer- gency.
 A joint statement to the gover- nors said:
 "The subscribers to this statement are not aware of any discrimination which has taken place with respect to thet reatment of New England, but are investigating the charges which have been made in this re- spect."
 The statement was made by Rob- ert Hull, New England representa- tive of the petroleum coordinator; 1; Kenneth B. Backman, regional di- rector of the office of price admin iStration, and w. H. Wheeler, Jr., regional director of the war pro- duction board.
 Asserting that the plea for New England oil users to convert their heating equipment to coal-burning had not met with sufficient response the federal officials said:
 'There is at the present time just one answer for everyone with self interest as well as patriotism: He who can convert to coal, should convert immediately"
 They said there had been consid- erable confusion about the oil out look because of conflicting statement! and estimates. Because of the un, certainties of war, they said, no onN could state accurately how mucl oil would be available this winter.
 Oil Corrdinator Harold l.. Ickes they said, had estimated the fue oil deficiency at 25 per cent or more whereas local estimates had ranget as high as 50 per cent. "At any rate," they said, "all fed eral authorities agree that the sit uation is acute, represents a req emergency, and that far more con versions to coal than have yet takel place are essential. Voluntary re sponse to date has been inadequate Consequently, g. rationing systen has been announced by the OP1 which includes the following essen tials:
 q. No oil to commercial user who can convert but do not do sc
 "2. Limited supplies to domesti users under 8 formula which, a long as the present estimated sup ply can be maintained, should kee the average home heated to 65 de grees with some special considera ton to homeowners with poorly in : sulated homes or inefficient health systems which cannot be improve upon, provided that it is impossibl for such homeowners to convert t coal"
 The statement said that IckeS now determining whether industri; and commercial oil- burning facil. : ties can be converted to solid fu and will report regarding this late

Many old cases which he worked on were again brought back as his associates and acquaint- ances reminisced about his work.
 States Attorney Tribute
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald stated today:
 sIt is unfortunate and extremely regrettable that Roland filings III health compels his retirement as County Detective. In his many years of valuable service to the state, he has distinguished himself by the tlaoroughness and effectiveness ot his Work. and the fairness with which he has always treated those unfortunate enough to become m- yolved in crime. His sense of fair ness and the understanding and in. sight which characterized his deai- ings with criminal defendants, ex- plalu WHY uldIly VA tAAChA oAtSA cSA' Ing sentences, have been accustom. ed to 10 to MT. filling for advice and help in obtaining employment or solving family problems.
 we hope that his retirement VIII enable him to restore his health.
 Tt will be difficult indeed to re- place a. man of MT. filings talent and ability in investigation, and we at the States Attorneys office VII miss him keenly."
