DR.. 5chaeht Reported
Studying Prospects
OF War for Hitler
Possibility Of Defect
Among Considerations
To Be Surveyed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AT THE GERMAN FRONTIER,
Nov. 30.-Germany's ex-Wizard
of finance, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
came back into the political spot
light today with reports that he
was preparing, at Adolf Hitlers
request, an exhaustive report on
how the war might end and its
consequences for the Reich.
Informants with Axis connections
said the German Fuehrer had per-
sonally asked Schacht to undertake
the task, supplying him with new of =
fees and a staff of 20 secretaries.
Schacht. still in the German cab
met although rarely active in public
affairs. was reported instructed to
base his study on the supposition
that the Nazi regime would continue
to exist. but to consider. however,
the possibility of losing Italy as an
ally and what would occur If Ger
many were beaten.
Schacht, who tussled for years
Will 1cIHldIy financial ana
economic problems under the YER
sailles peace treaty, was said to have
been asked to frame his report so
Hitler could deal Immediately with
any of these possibilities:
That Germany wins the war; that
Germany reaches a compromise set
Element with her present enemies:
that separate peace treaties are con-
cluded with France, Britain, the
United States and Russia: that Ger
many loses the support of Italy.
Rumania, Hungary or other satel-
lites.
Primarily concerned with the
economics of the war and the flu
ture peace. the study was also to
deal with political conditions aris-
ing within Germany if the United
Nations should be able to impose
terms suggested by President Roose-
welt, Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Joseph Stain in their
speeches.

much to the failure of the japanese
campaign.
"Zeros Flew Apart"
They continue to harass the en-
emy's retreat across the mountains
to the northern coast of New
Guinea.
Referring to the Jap Zero fighters
Col. Davies said: Almost every
time we hit them with 50-caliber
fire the Zeros would fly apart"
The War Department also de-
scribed some of Col Davies air
activities in the Philippines in COM
mand of dive-bomber group. He
had arrived in the islands a month
before the japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. His command, however,
was only on paper for the airplanes,
equipment and personnel of the
group had not arrived in the Philip
pines when the war began and the
planes were diverted to Australia.
Praises United States Planes.
One squadron of dive bombers was
put into action against the Jap
anese by February /. This squadron.
operating without fighter support,
has accounted for several japanese
cruisers and five or six troop
transports.
Col Davies took part under Maj
Gen. Ralph Royce in the spectacu-
lar long distance raid from Aus
tralia against the Philippines shortly
before the fall of Corregidor When
these planes landed on secret bases
on the islands he said friendly ma
tives covered them with palms and
brush to guarantee their safety.
Praising toughness of American
planes, he said most of the types
now in use in the Southwest Pacific
have given excellent account of
themselves. The dive bomber is of
value in this area against shipping.
he said, but new types with greater
speed and range are essential for
the most effective use.
When he left to come home on
leave, Col. Davies said shortages
and deficiencies had been made good
and that United States air opera
tons were well organized and efi-
GENTLY supplied and maintained.

proposition, feeling that it prob
ably was a maneuver that would
end, not with Edison being pushed
for the presidency but sidetracked
into oblivion at the last moment.
At Jersey City, Mr.. Moore said
he had not heard of any such plan
but added that he had requested an
audience with the Governor between
Christmas. 1941. and New Years Day
in an effort to have Gov. Edison
re-appoint the late Maurice Cronin
as State Civil Service Commissioner.
Second Meeting Held.
He said they had second meet
ing few days later at the Cover
nor's request. Mr.. Moore did not
disclose what they talked about.
He added that. except for public
functions he had not seen the
Governor since then.
Circles close to Gov. Edison last
June said Mr.. Moore had visited the
Governor as peace emissary. and
that Gov. Edisons reported reply
was that he had no objections to a
truce. provided Mayor Hague re-
moved himself from all party activi-
ties and posts.
The Governor also demanded, it
was reliably reported at the time,
that Representative Norton of Jer-
sey City, Hague lieutenant, retire
as State Democratic chairman.
The Mayors ONCE at Jersey City
said Mayor Hague was not immedi-
ately available for comment.
Announcement of the attempts at
a truce came as the Hague Edison
differences were mounting to new
heights over Hudson County tax
assessments. Mayor Hague charged
recently that Jersey City's financial
structure would be wrecked If q
$50, 000, 900 reduction of its ratables
by the Edison-appointed County
Tax Board were sustained. The city
has started appeal proceedings.
Gov. Edison dismissed on charges
the previous tax board. which was
friendly to Mayor Hague.

AZ Per Cent Decline
In u. ). Auto Deaths
Reported for October
Only 1000 Fatalities
In Month Listed by
National Safety Council
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-A drop of 49
per cent in motor car fatalities in
October, compared with the same
month a year ago-the greatest
monthly reduction in the Nation S
history-Was reported by the Ma
tlonal Safety Council today.
Only 1000 persons persisted in
motor vehicle accidents during Oc-
tober, representing a saving of 800
lives, as compared with October.
194l.
Although travel figures for Octo-
Der are not yet available, the coun-
Gil said the record breaking decrease
indicated increased voluntary cur
tailment in driving. Travel was off
% per cent in September from a
year ago and IS per cent for the first
nine months of the year.
AS further evidence that increased
curtailment of mileage land other
shifting factors in the traffic pic
ture" were responsible for the low
October death figures, the council
pointed out mat tnlS years OCTOBER
total was II per cent below that of
September, whereas an or per
cent increase is normal.
For the first 10 months of the year
traffic deaths were estimated to be
down 81 per cent from the same
period year ago-a total of % 200
fatalities against 81 1870 last year,
or saving of $3.50 lives. Since it Is
the intention of mileage rationing
to cut travel in half the council
said that on that basis motor vehicle
deaths in 1912 can be expected to
drop almost to two-fifths of their
1941 totals.
All of Al States whose l0-month
fatality figures are available showed
reduction in deaths from the COM
parable period of 1941.

The Aluminium Co. of America

Court today to dismiss the Govern
ment's appeal Of the antitrust suit
against the company.
The Government lost in the lower
court and should the appeal be dis
missed, the suit would come to an

The company's motion was based

justices qualified to sit in the case.
The court informed the company on
that date that Chief Justice Stone
and Justices Reed. Murphy and
jackson were unable to participate
in the consideration of the case on
the merits.
In a brief in support Of the mo-
ton. the Aluminium Co. said THE
alternative would appear to be the
indefinite retention Of the case upon
the docket of this court. There
being two justices short Of q quo

sion for an indefinite period"

| AN-NightP Parking
Ban Opposed by
| 7 rude Board Unit

A proposal to prohibit all-night
parking on Washington streets was
disapproved today by the Traffic
Committee of the Board of Trade.
Neither the exigencies of the war,
nor the contingency of air raids in
this community stated a report
submitted by John F. Victory, sub
committee chairman. require the
clearance from the streets of parked
cars between the hours of am.
and 6 am, as proposed. There is
even less use required of the streets
during those hours than at any
other hours of the day.
BY unanimous vote. following dis
cusslon, the Traffic Committee
termed the proposed ban "impracti-
cable, unnecessary and inadvisable
during the war period"
At the same time the Traffic Com
mite urged studies looking ulti-
mately to a progressive solution OF
all-day and all-night parking. Not
until off-street parking facilities are
available will it be practical to deal
effectively and fairly with this very
real and very difficult municipal
problem" the Traffic Committee
headed by p Y. K. Howat recon-
mended to the boards governing
body, the board of directors.
Another feature of today's meet
ing at the Harrington Hotel was the
presentation by Chairman Howat
to Judge George D. Nelson of Traffic
Court, of a large American flag
surmounted by an eagle. 1t will be
placed in Traffic Court, Judge Neil
son said, adding ut is fitting that
the first flag to be placed in any
of our ten local courts should go to
the Taffic Court, where more people

was he who had given me a warm

eager he had been to help in intro
ducing me to all the officers I had
come to interview; of how genuinely
liked he was by both officers and
men throughout the ship:
Il am the resurrection and the

smile and light words as we chatted
side by side on the signal bridge just
before the attack: of how he eased
the tension which builds I'D and
builds up before an attack until 1t
seems the nerves will explode; of
how he had been called aside Just
as the first Jap planes were sighted;
of how two hours later some one re-
ported he was dead;
All join in benediction.' The
words OF the captain drew my mind
back to the service.
