Reported Nuzi Overtures End
AS Reds Ask Hitler CUSTODY

German propaganda must be taken
into consideration in the light of
repeated Nazi efforts to split the
unity of Russia, Britain and the
United States.
(NBC Reporter David Anderson

that the new rumors of German
peace overtures to America, Rus

than just propaganda plant"

said was brought out by a Swed-

LONDON, Oct. s LP,.-The Free
Yugoslav radio today announced the
presence of American and British
officers at Partisan headquarters a
short time after German sources re-
ported a small Allied force had en-
tered the Balkans.
In Cairo, it was announced that
Yugoslav Partisans had beaten off
German efforts to land on islands
off cara on the Dalmatian coast and
on the Island of Hvar, south of
Split.
The Free Yugoslav broadcast gave
no details as to the number of Allied
officers at hand, but it confirmed a
previous report from Cairo that sew
eral had gone to the headquarters
of both Gen. Draja Mihailovich and
Drug Tito.

to a statement last night by King

Senate Is Told
Chandler Testifies
On War Outlook
At Secret Session
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Told that there is a long and
costly war ahead in the Pacific,
the Senate closed it's doors again
today for another executive ses-
sion, at which Senator Chandler,
Democrat, of Kentucky said he
would warn that the japanese
may move the seat of their en-
plre to the Asiatic mainland.
Senators Chandler and Brewster,
Republican, of Maine, will complete
a report on ive-Senator inspection
trip to all war theaters, except
Russia. Senators Russell, Democrat,
of Georgia, and Mead, Democrat, of
New York, and Lodge, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, summarized their
findings at closed session yester-
day.
Emphasizing the seriousness of the
war in the West, Senator Lodge told
the Senate yesterday that if the
Russians could be persuaded to open
Siberian bases to Allied bombers a
million American lives might be
saved. Impressed Senators imme-
diately began talking about urging
the State Department to push diplo-
matte conversations toward that
end.
Confusion Is Charged.
Senator Brewster has criticized
the confusion which he said marks
American economic and diplomatic
efforts as compared with those of
the British, but Senator Chandler
planned to deal almost exclusively
with conditions in the Pacific. He
long has urged that more weight be
thrown against the Japanese and
that Gen. Douglas Macarthur be
given supreme command in that
theater.
Senator Chandler told reporters
he had found good reason to be-
lieve that some Of Japan's heavy in
dustry already has been moved to
the Asiatic mainland. in addition to
the large industrial concentration
in Manchukuo.
If the japanese move their i'm
portant installations to the CONT
nent, he said. the curving chain Of
their home islands will become an
almost impregnable wall against any
blows from the East.
The Japan Sea is already a jap
anese lake he declared. We can
hardly hope to get in there"
Wheeler Wants Parley.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. Of

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 8-New re-
ports of German peace overtures
were circulated today, and the
Stockholm newspaper Social-Demo-
kraten said it had learned that ef-
forts of some Nazis to discuss an
armistice with Russia collapsed
when the Soviets demanded the
custody of Adolf Hitler and the
withdrawal of the Germany Army
behind the old German frontiers.
The reports, which must be viewed
with reservation, were attributed by
the newspaper to information given
by high German military official
to military men in one of Germanys
satellites. The report added that
Nazi emissaries now are making at
tempts to contact the United States
and Britain through Madrid and
Lisbon.
Significantly, the new peace
rumors came amid preparations for

Allies Occupy Island

German Effort to Retuke
Simi Declared Beaten
Off With Heavy Losses
81 the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Oct. 8.-BritiSh occu-
patton of the island of Simi, only
25 miles north Of German-held
Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, was
disclosed today with the an
nouncement that German at
tempt to retake the island was
beaten off with heavy losses.
A Middle East communique today
told Of this operation, but made
no mention Of the situation at Cos
(Coo) in the Dodecanese, which was
occupied recently by the Allies and
severely attacked over the week end
by German forces who later claimed
control Of the 23-mile long island.
Simi is about halfway between
Cox and Rhodes off Western Turkey.
tRumorS in IStanbul were that
British forces also had landed
in the Cyclades Islands, which
lie in the Aegean Sea between
the Dodecanese group and the
Greek mainland. The Cyclades
consist OF about 200 Islands eX-
tending 100 miles into the Ae-
gean southeast of Athens to a
point approximately 100 miles
from German-occupied Crete.
"a tight censorship apparently
had been clamped today on most
of the Allies insular operations
off Greece and Turkey, for rea-
sons of military security.
The communique telling of the at
tack on Simi said prisoners were
taken during the German assault.
The announcement said Allied
light naval forces also destroyed a
German convoy and escort in the
Aegean Sea yesterday. The COM
munique did not disclose the size
of the forces involved in the action.

Warning to Meet Rules

The Commissioners today or
dered revocation of the licenses
OF two restaurant operators, the
suspension of five others and
issued a formal warning in an
other case as they acted on
recommendations by the District
License Revocation Board.
The city heads approved the find
lngs made by the License Board in
all cases, but reduced the punish
ment recommended in two cases. A
ninth case resulting from the recent
intensive drive against insanitary
conditions in many Washington res
taurantS has been heard by the
License Board, but has not yet come
before the Commissioners for action.
The Commissioners ordered the
revocation of the license of Louis
Goodman for 935 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, and of Justine M. Cole for

at ? m. October II. In the Good
man case the restaurant already has
been sold to a new operator and,
while an application had been made
for the transfer of the Goodman
license to the new proprietor, the
latter must now apply for new per-
nit. In the Cole case the Commits

mend three-week suspension of
the license of Louis, Charles and
Constantine Mandes of 314 Ninth

Can Be Solved Only
By Extending Vote

Nothing short of representa-

ldent is just to the District of
Columbia or ever will solve it's
municipal problems, Senator
Capper, Republican, of Kansas,
ranking minority member of the
Senate District Committee, de-
clared last night in an address
before the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association.
The veteran Kansas Senator. who
long has urged national represent
alton and suffrage for Washington,
said that, while proposals to allow
the Capitals citizens to elect local
officials was commendable. in his
opinion it never would eliminate
difficulties which had beset the city
for many years. never would give it
the sort of government it deserved.
Meanwhile. the Senate had before
1t bill by Senator McCarran which
would allow citizens of Washington
to elect seven commissioners. each
representing ward based on a map
drawn during the last detennial
census. The commissioners would
name a city manager, subject to
confirmation by the Senate. The
elected officials could enact munich
pal legislation, though this would be
subject to review and possible veto
by Congress.
Refers to Gallinger.
Referring to the current investiga-
tion of Gallinger Hospital, Senator
Capper said:
The conditions at Gallinger and
the difficulties experienced by local
officials in the operation of the hos
pital are very similar to those noted
during inquiries into other depart
ments of the District government.
However, I regret to say, when it
comes to the placing of RESPONSE
