 'The enthusiasm of Americans from coast to coast to pile up moun- tains of scrap metal is hardly re- flected in the figures so far avail- able" Slocum said. While the conl- mittee so far has reports of more than 100000 tons gathered in the top 24 states, this probably repre- sents only one quarter of the scrap actually gathered.
 But the need continues and ef- forts must not be slackened until every pound of available scrap metal from homes, farms and industry, has been collected and started toward the steel mills"
 The top 10 states of the nation reported 801,9 ,951 tens of scrap metal collected to date for a per capita average of 424 pounds. The top A states have reported 1,035, ,194 tons collected for an average of 3l.3 pounds per person for this popula- ton group.

 ssThe arrest of Decker and civil- ian inspectors resulted from an audit by the renegotiation section of the navy procurement oti1ce which ua- covered numerous instances of brib- cry in the Triumph Company man. agement. A full report was then submitted to the war frauds unit of the Department of Justice for prose- cution."
 1 The White House said additional arrests were expected immediately of another former civilian army in- spector and a man formerly en- ployed by the army at the Aber- deen proving grounds and presently employed at Triumph.
 White House Secretary Stephen T. Early, in reading the Presidents executive order, emphasized the phrase which said that the navy was taking over in order that the plants might be effectively and safely operated in the production of American munitions.
 The White House said there would be mo interruption of pro- duction." It noted that the Triumph Company had been awarded the Navy "E" for production achieve ment "and the government is anx- ious that this record not be inter- rupted."
 The plant would be returned to the company management as soon as competent officials satisfactory to both the army and navy are available, the White. House said. But it said the navy, as a result of its investigation, believed that continu- ance of the present management would be "endangering production on a full time basis"
 From 0. Clark, chief of the war frauds unit, said that the unit and the Federal Bureau of Investiga- ton, with the army and the navy, is now making a thorough investi- gation of all phases of the case and that, where warranted, grand jury action will follow promptly" the arl- nOuncement said.

 Cut Air Strength
 Another significant fact is that the latest Axis attacks seem to be concentrated on cutting down Royal Air Force strength in the island rather than to inflict damage on the Island. Most of the raids are being made by a comparatively small bombing force but with heavy es- cort of fighting planes.
 There are indications that Rom- mel plans to reinforce his armies in Egypt with tw oadditional arm- Ored divisions. This would require major convoy operations past Mall ta, for the island lies almost ath- wart the shortest route to Africa from Sicily. German divisions have been reported in training in Sicily.
 All told, the Germans have lost at least 1000 planes in their at- tacks on Malta.

 Germany Again Hit
 London, Oct. 13.-(UP)-British four-motored bombers attacked in- dustrial areas of northern Germany during the night at the cost of only two planes.
 Germany, admitting damage to northern and eastern Germany by incendiary bombs, said several planes were shot down.
 It was indicated that Russian < planes might have been raiding eastern Germany.
 The Germans said also, in Berlin broadcasts, that British planes had dropped some of their bombs on western and southern Denmark.
 It was the first night raid on Germany since last Tuesday when a strong force of four -motored Royal Air Force bombers attacked the great northwest German communi- cations center of Osnabruck.
 Raids on Germany since October 1, limited by bad weather, have in- cluded daylight attacks on the Rhineland last Friday and Han- mover Sunday.
 The Berlin and oslo radios went off the air at 8:30 last night, ex- plaining that their silence was due to technical reasons.
 Germany was still trying to con- ! vince the world that last Fridays attack on Lille, France, was a fail ure. It continued to assert that s.several" of the raiders were shot flown, and denied heatedly that Ger many had lost 48 planes definitely nowned in addition to 38 probably destroyed and 19 others seriously Damaged, as announced by head uuarters of the United States Army Air Force.
 AS a matter of fact, the Germans said, only 30 German planes were involved and they drove back the entire force of 115 American bomb. ing planes and 800 escorting fight CTS at the cost of one German s4iaYle

 Early in the overtures for the purchase of the mason company's property an unexpected develop ment occurred when federal agents placed lien on the properties, al- leging the payment of income taxes. The governments investiga- tion was interpreted as another phase of the Waterbury conspiracy inquiry. The len approximating $91, ,410 was directed against Ralph Devino as president of the company. The period of alleged non-payment of taxes extended over a period of years. It was claimed that the com- pany did considerable business with the City of Waterbury and that records of both parties were some what contradictory.
 Attorney Edward Mascolo, counsel for MT. Devino, today issued state ment in connection with the trans action and the governments action. He declared that an amicable ad- justment has been made and that the amount mentioned in the lien pro- cedure was not the true amount. The statement follows:
 MascoIO Statement
 Negotiations by Ralph 'Devino with the J. E. Smith & Com pany, Incorporated, through it's president, J. Francis Smith, for the sale of his interest to that concern in the real estate at 60 Benedict street, together with the stock used in the conduct of his lumber and mason supply busi- ness, began in the early part of May, 1922, and were completed yesterday, October 18th, 1922. The firm of D. T. Harrington & Son acted as agent, and the Smith company was represented by Attorney John s. Monagan. The Internal Revenue department was advised at all times as to the progress of the transaction and its action in placing and filing a federal lien on MT. Devino,- as- sets was not prompted by bad faith on the part of anyone in volved in the transaction, but en- tirely by federal law under which the revenue officials had not the right to exercise discretion. h. cidentally, that case has been settled. The amount mentioned in the lien was principally ar- rived at by the government through It's action in changing the set-up from the cash re- ceipts and disbursements basis to the accrual basis, and while am not at liberty to disclose the terms of settlement, yet l can say that 1t Is not the true amount involved. Mir. Devino has re- tained lease interest In the gaso- line and oil bulk sales plant and may soon resume business In this city,"

reported that the Russians had brought up endorsements and driven the Germans from vital po- sitions they occupied several days ago south of Stalingrad.
 The noon conmunique reported that attacking Germans on the northwestern front (presumably in the Sinyavino area, southeast of Leningrad) had met a whitening blast of fire, and fallen back, leav- ing 400 dead on the field.
 On the Leningrad front, Soviet snipers, scouts, artillerymen, and trench mortarmen hay accounted for 400 more Germans in the last two days.
 Cannot Smash Russians
 London, Oct. 13 -(UP)- We'll informed military sources said to- day on the basis of German radio statements that Germany had given up the attempt to smash the Russian armies.
 Informants quoted a German radio spokesman last night that Germany was going from offensive to defensive war.
 'This Is the first more or less of- ficial announcement that Hitler has given up the attempt to smash the Russian armies" an informant said One can read from that so far as ahnihilating the Russian armies is concerned Hitler admits defeat.
 'The admission of defensive war is an admission that Germany will have to face war on two or three fronts, or wherever it may be at- tackled"
 It was pointed out that the Ger mans always had feared a double front and that Hermann Goering NaN No. 2, had said in September 1889, at the outbreak of the war that thanks to the German-Russian pact, that danger had been removed flor ever."

Nebraska certainly Is a great
State. / like Nebraska. l like those
immense cornfeIds that seem to
stretch from horizon to horizon.
(Plenty of wheat6elds In Nebraska,
too.)
But the thing that interests me
most about Nebraska right now is
the very important social expert
ment the beer people started there
several years ago.
Beer itself is naturally a bcver-
age Of moderation. Yet, all too
often, people are inclined to blame
beer wrongly for any misconduct
of the customer or the proprietor
in a place licensed to sell beer.
So, the brewers got together TO
see what they could do about this.
They weren't really responsible for
their retailers in fact, they're
not allowed to control retailers.
But the brewing industry worked
out plan by which it cooperates
with the public authorities to elm
mate bad conditions in the minor
ity of places whose conduct would
reflect on the law abiding majority.

The beer people urge proprietors
Of retail places TO conduct them
properly and TO obey the law. They
urge consumers TO cooperate, and
ask the public generally to report
law violations to the authorities.
They send warnings to careless re-
tailers and if conditions are not
corrected they take the case mp
with the authorities. Naturally the
authorities and the public have well
coined this AZ an added force In
building respect for law and order.
That program is now operating
In many states - and with the Ma
ton at war, brewing industry or
CARNATIONS cooperate with civil
and military authorities to assure
good conditions in beer outlets
around the army camps and naval
stations.
Somehow, to me, that's a mighty
important, public-spirited effort
l don't know OF anything like it
ever having been tried before. TX
people really help the brewers
with that program they'll be doing
q great thing for the country.
