Hitler, Deranged, Makes Compromise with His
 War Generals
CBY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Sweeping new gains by the Rus sian armies are reported from the various fronts today as word cir culated in London that Hitler, who five weeks ago busted Field Mar shal von Brauchitsch and assumed Supreme Command of the German Army himself, has reached o con- promise with his generals because "he is unable to carry on without the aid of experienced strategists. 7
 In dismissing von Brauchitsch a few days before Christmas, Hitler declared his munitions would lead him to reserve to himself person. ally all essential decisions in di- recting the war.
 The British Ministry of Informa- ton has circulated extracts from an article in the anti-Axis German language newspaper Die Zeitung published in London declaring Hit Ter is now deranged of mind and confirms reports that Generals von Book, von Rundstedt and von Lees and Others are in charge of the new German armies"

WASHINGTON-If the President needed any further demonstration of the ineffectualness of his dollar a-year-men in the OPM, he got it within 24 hours after he announced his new war program.
 ''Business-as-usual' minded mo- tor moguls, summoned to Washing ton to draft belated plans for the conversion of their industry, in effect thumbed their noses at OPM with the support of ex-motor mogul OPM Director Knudsen.
 Inside story of this episode, one month after Pearl Harbor, is one of the most amazing of the amaz- ing record of OPM.
 It started last Monday when heads of auto management and labor met with OPM, Army and Navy chiefs. Knudsen opened the conference with brief talk in which he complained that he had been kicked around" and that the motor moguls had been kicked around" But despite this, he de- clared he was proud of their con- tribution to national defense.
 This brought big hand from the auto executives.
 They then took the floor and announced they were willing to convert their plants to war pro- duction-provided the government met their terms. Foremost of these claims were one more month of auto production beyond January 3l, plus escalator clauses in their war contracts to enable them to raise prices to meet unforeseen de- velopments.'
 In other words the auto moguls were willing to make tanks, plan es and guns for the government pro- vided they were assured of a nor- nal profit.
 None of this got out of the

This may look fine in print, but reducing it to actual application in everyday prosecution of com munity and state offenders is an- other matter. To make the thefts of tires, tubes, parts, etc, fed eral offense when committed in intra state traffic, would require a constitutional amendment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 - Gov ernment officials and automobile association leaders are in a huddle over problem that already has been reported from numerous sec tions of the country-the theft and bootlegging of auto parts, tires and even cars.
 No sooner had Price Administra- tor Leon Henderson announced the rationing of tires, autos and the courtailed production of replace ment parts than the whole country broke out with rash of petty thievery of tires and parts and the theft talready a felony on both state and federal statute books) of cars.
 Officiols fear that big-time crooks and racketeers, taking a page from the days of prohibition, might try to organize the petty thieves into rings and by wholesale operations seriously undermine the curtail- ment program
 Henderson's OPA is interested in the problem only in so far as it would, through it's psychological and moral effect on the driving public, place stumbling block in the smooth development of tire, car and parts rationing.
 Realizing this, the American
 Automobile Association and

 offense.

BODY OF ARNE OLSEN FOUND
 AT C0RD0vA

CORDOVA, Alaska, Dec. 1.-The body of Arne Olsen, a pioneer resi- dent of Cordova for 40 years, was found last Saturday afternoon by U. s. Coast Guard search party two miles from the start of the English Bay -Hinchinbrook Lighthouse trail on Hinchinbrook Island.
 Olsen was seven days overdue with the mail delivery from Cordova to the lighthouse and an investiga- tion was started Friday when Les Myers, local boatsman, and Coast Guardsmen sent out found Olsens powerboat and skiff awash on the beach of English Bay. They found watch, cigarette papers on the table of cabin nearby.
 A second party, on Saturday, travelled the steep mountain trail and found Olsen's body, frozen stiff and covered with snow Olsen, 65 years old, was apparently exhausted and had lain down to die.
 A third party was dispatched Monday with toboggan to take the body out to the beach. This was impossible on Saturday because of the difficulty of the trail.
 Olsen, a veteran boatman, was apparently unable to make the regu- lar lighthouse landing on account of heavy seas and put into English Bay, planning to carry the mail overland on the six-mile trail.

MOOSE LODGE IS IN HANDS
 OF OUR ENEMY

MOOSEHEART, Ill.-"In tn e hands of the enemy" For the first time in the history of the Loyal Order of Moose, the delegates to the recent annual international convention of the fraternity heard these fateful words. The words un- happily described the present posi- ton of Manila Moose Lodge in the Philippine Islands, which, until the invasion of the Japanese, was one of the most active in the frater- nity, with a membership composed largely of men of the United States Army and Navy. The convention delegates, by resolution, promptly acted to maintain the good stand ing of the members of Manila lodge and to protect their inter- ests as Moose affiliates. For the duration of the war the name of every Manila Moose will be trans ferred to the rolls of the general assembly lodge at MooSeheart, membership in which is largely composed of men, who, for one reason or another, have no per manent address, or live in com munities in which no Moose lodge exists. The resolution also stipu- lated that annual dues of the Ma nila Moose would be waived for the duration of the war.
 The Moose Order has an active lodge in Honolulu, I'll. But the enemy has had no effect on it. It is still going strong. The member ship is also composed largely of men in the armed service.

Italian Newspapers Trying to BeIiitIe Cries of
 People for Peace

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Daily Mail today reports that political circles in Rome and also the Ital- ian newspapers, that are under the thumb of the Axis, are greatly embarrassed by the shouts for peace given by crowds in front of St. Peters Cathedral last Tuesday and the newspapers are trying hard to place different version on the demonstrations.
 A Reuters dispatch from Stock holm earlier quoted the newspaper Dagens Nyheter as saying the crowds shouted Long Live Peace" after the Pope conducted services for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
 The London Daily Mails dis patch reported that the Italian newspapers have taken an unani- nous line explaining the cries away as an obvious tribute to the Pope's efforts for peace before the war"
 The Italian officials are trying to place the same interpretation on foreign correspondents but the latter insist the people are tired of the present war and demand peace, in fact they want Italy to withdraw from the conflict at once. The powers that be are trying to suppress all peace talk and cla- morS.
