Ge'stapo Chief
Awaits Orders
Believe Denmark
Will Be Noxified

MOSCOW, Oct. 8 (R -
lass reported today in a dis
patch datelined Stockholm that
the German Gestapo chief for
Denmark, named Kanstein, had
gone to Berlin amid rumors that
he would be n a m d Reichs
commissioners for Denmark and
the little kingdom would be re-
duced to the status of Norway
and Holland under German &C.
cupation.
f, Tass said it was believed in
Stockholm that Kanstein's jour-
ney was connected with de-
mands which the Germans have
presented to the Danish govern
ment. Earlier reports said these
called for closer incorporation of
Denmark, hitherto at least NOM
inally still ruled by King Chris
tian x, into the Hitlerian new
order).
Another Tass dispatch, date
lined Geneva, said the Germans
were reported there to be pre-
pairing forcibly to Hitlerize
Denmark Gin the very near fu-
ture" as a step to absorbing her
in a federation of G e r m a n
countries"
The m e t h o d, this dispatch
said, will be to abolish the DAN
ish constitution, dissolve the po-
litical parties of the country and
launch "a regime of political
terror in order to break the
stubborn resistance of the Danes
to demands for q new order"
Parallel situations in Norway
and the Netherlands were de-
tanned also In <his dispatch.

- Maj. Gen. Russell L. Max
we'll reported to the war de-
partment today that American
Air Forces based in Egypt had
destroyed or badly damaged 81
Axis warships and other vessels

AS evidence of the growing

States Army commander for the
middle east said they dropped
altogether 3,161, 900 pounds of
bombs in ITO days.
In September. he said, &c.,
600 pounds were loosed on enc
my ships, harbor facilities and
desert supply lines.
A summary of Maxwell's re-
port was given by Undersecre-
tary Robert p. Patterson at his

Tokyo Claims Advance
Against Americans
in Solomons

Japan's far flung invasion
armies, stung by the rising fury
of American and allied counter
blows, were reported to have
abandoned two key islands in
the western Aleutians and con-
tinued their retreat on the New
Guinea front today.
Latest semi-official advices
indicated that the situation in
the Solomon Islands was un-
changed, with u. S. Marines
hunting down Japanese rein
forcements landed under cover
of darkness on Guadalcanal
Island.
Without confirmation from
any other source, a German
broadcast quoting purported
Tokyo dispatch asserted that
Japanese troops had made an
advance against stiff American
resistance on Guadalcanal.
In the Aleutians, already
gripped by the vanguard of the
long northern winter, the stu
alton was visibly improved.
A u. S., Navy communique
said the japanese, apparently
realizing they had blundered in
to what a naval spokesman
termed . rat trap" had disap-

Germans Shackle
Dieppe Captives
British Promise Swift
ReprisaI Against Nazis

LONDON, Oct. 8-R-T The
British will manacle German
prisoners at noon Saturday un-
less the Germans remove the
bonds which they placed 1pday
on the hands of British prisoners
captured at Dieppe. it was an
nounced officially tonight.
The decision was announced
in war office communique
which said:
"The German government hav-
ing put. into operation the illeg-
al action threatened in their
nmunique, the war office an
nounces that unless the German
so eminent releases prisoners
captured at Dieppe from. their
chains, an equal number of Ger
man prisoners of war will be
manacled arr chained as from
IL noon Saturday,"
Only q few hours had elapsed
since the Berlin radio announced
that the British captives-mostly
Canadians-were manacled ut
noon today. The announcement
called IL reprisal for similar
treatment Of captured Nazis, q
claim which the British have
vigorously denied.
The German action Of fetter-
ing prisonsfs S'is sexpsessly for
bidden by Asticler II Of the 0e-
neva convention (g0verning hui
name treatment Of prisoners). Z
British government statement
said.
The statement reiterated Bril-
tain's declaration that the eov-
eminent has not and will not
permit orders for the manacling
of prisoners taken in the field.
The Berlin broadcast discl0s-
ing that the Germans thus had
put into force threat they made
yesterday also referred bitterly
to Allied plans for the punish
ment Of war criminals after the
war.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-10-08

The reported action followed
repeated British denials of alleg-
ed ill-treatment of German pris-
oners and q war office warning
that wanton reprisals against
Britons would not be overlooked.
In q statement last night the
war office declared that 'if the
German government carry out
the threats mentioned in their
communique the British govern
ment will have to consider their
future action"
AS yet, however, there was no
hint Of what that future action ;,
might be.

City ponders
'Drivers-pooI


A proposal by the Macomb
County Rationing Board to es-
tablish an automobile drivers
pool in Mount Clemens, in con-
junction with similar action in
every other city and village in
the county, is now under con-
sideration by the city commits
sion.
A communication explaining
the workings Of the proposed
cooperative ride : sharing plan,
signed by Maxwell Case, secre-
tary of the rationing board, cited
the transportation problem to be
faced with the introduction of
national gas rationing, and the
necessity of conserving rubber.
City commission appointed q
committee to contact Case on
the proposal, and commissioners
expressed their approval of the
plan, promising that q decision
will be reached soon, probably
at the next meeting.
The boards letter explained
that headquarters for auto own
ers sharing their vehicles in
driving to and. from work are
being sought in every city and
villages in Macomb County, in
GLIDING besides Mount Clemens,
Armada, Center Line. East De-
troit, Disco, Fraser, Richmond,
New Haven, New Baltimore, st.

that workers in the northern
portion of the county could jour-
ney to their wrk in relay fash
ion by changing off ut q head
quarters in the southern portion
of the county to conclude their
trip. II Is estimated that this
plan. IL adopted by each COM
