Plan Post
War Scheme

London, Oct. 20-(Up)-Gestapo
Chief Heinrich Himrnler and q DOW.
erful clique Of Nad leaders are
organizing an underground move
ment to keep the party alive after
Germany'S defeat and lay the
groundwork for another attempt at
world conquest, usually reliable
sources said today.
These informantS, who are in
close touch with Germany, said fear
Of an imminent collapse was spread
ing even through the higher-ups in
the Reich and that a number Of
prominent Nazi journalists have fed
to neutral countries recently or quit
their newspaper work in anticipa-
ton Of the breakdown.
Himmler and q group of high
officials in the Nazi elite guard and
Storm Trooper organizations, these
sources said, have made secret plans
to sabotage the Allied occupation
armies during 10 or 20 year period
after the armistice. They also en-
visage resumption of clandestine
rearment in Germany, such as oc-
Cured between 1928 and 1888.
According to these sources, the
Elite Guards and the Storm Troop
ers already are training specially
chosen groups Of fanatical young
Nazis in Hitler Youth and SIS Train
ing barracks.
Secret Caches
At the same time, they were said
to be preparing to establish Sec
ret arms caches and illegal Nazi
military units which, in the post
war years, would masquerade as
sports clubs and physical culture
organizations for young Germans.
The Nazis have had years Of ex-
perience in these methods as a re-
suit Of their formation of illegal
Fifth Columns in Austria, the
Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia and
Poland before the war.
Meanwhile, among the Nad news
papermen who have f1ed are DR..
Kurt Rey Of the Frankfurter zeit-
ung, who Is known to have reached
Cairo, and the zeitung's former
chief editor, DR.. Rdolf Kircher, who
turned up at Ankara.
Erich Welter, a former assistant
editor Of the same paper, has dis
continued writing, the United Press
informants said, and three other
prominent newspapermen have dis
appeared suddenly from print-Karl
Slick, editor-in-chief of the Deut-
sche Allgemeine zeitung; DR.. Adolf
Hatfield. of the Democratic Reich
stager and diplomatic correspond
emit of the Hamburger Fremdenblatt.
and DR.. Karl Megerle. editor of the
Boersen-Zeitung.

few hours after the murder.
Higgs said II was strange that the
fire, which another crown witness
had testified was fueled by a highly
inflammable liquid, would not have
burned hairs the inside as well as
the outside Of the murderer's arms.
The defense lawyers, referring to
Bankers testimony that De Marigny
had been unable to produce the shirt
he wore the night Of the crime,
reminded the witness that De Mar
giny had presented several shirts
corresponding to the description Of
the one he had worn.
Barker admitted they were alike
In color.
why didn't you examine the
shirts closely?"
IT expected the accused to hanc
over the shirt voluntarily" Barker
replied.
"Dddnt you think the shirt worn
might have been burnedP"
at did,
'"Then why didn't you examine the
shirts he showed you for burns. The
accused could have taken any one
of the soiled shirts and said This Il
the one I wore."
Barker admitted the possibility
but added that De Marigny told him
he could not find the shirt in ques-
ton.
ibid you flnd any burns on the LEG
Of the accused9" Higgs asked.
"No,". he said, explaining that the
type Of flames In the room would
not have burned the legs Of the per.
son starting the fire. He said u
the person wore long -sleeved shirt
and coat his arms would have beer
protected also"
De Marigny hurriedly penciled
note and handed 1t through the
bars Of the prisoners dock to his
attorney.
did you find any burns on the
trousers of the accused which have
been exhibited In court as evidence?"
Higgs inquired.
"I found none"

man suspension of safe conduct
privileges for Sweden's overseas
shipping promised today to increase
the existing strain on relations be-
tween the two countries.
There was no official Swedish
comment ON the German move,
which Berlin said was necessitated
BY military dispositions In the Skag-
errack, through which Swedish
shipping must pass TO reach the
North sea and the Atlantic ocean.
Public indignation mounted, how
ever, and the Stockholm Dagens
Nyheter criticized the Naz action,
expressing the hope that IF the

Mine Wage
Dispute

!. .l.-
However, II the government seinas
the mines again, miners who at
tempted to thwart back-to-work
moves would be subject 20 criminal
penalties under the SMITH Connally
antl-strtke law.
Il was doubted that the mines
would be seized Immediately because
Of the slight prospect Of getting the
men back TO work unit lnext week.
The UNIV policy committee meets
here Monday and may take some
action TO reopen the mines.
The mine dispute first was
referred to the President by the
WLB last April after q wave Of
wildcat strikes. He ordered gov
eminent operation Of the mines and
appealed to the miners to return.
They resumed work, on Lewis in
structions, one day after the presi-
Dental appeal.
Return Ordered
The case was referred to him again
during q one week strike early In
June. He ordered them to return
the following Monday, . day which
conceded with one subsequently set
BY the UNIV policy committee.
The WLB sent the case to the
President the third time after Lewis
rejected the boards decision Tor APP
palachian bituminous mines as Q
.yellow dog contract" The board
asked the president then to enforce
its order. Mr.. Roosevelt made no at
tempt to force Lewis to sign the con-
tract but announced that the mines
would revert to private operation
Notwithstanding the unions appar.
emit refusal to work unless the gov
eminent retained control.
In It's anthracite decision last
night, the WIiB followed the pat
tern set In its Appalachian blum
nous ruling and denied the miners
any general wage increase outside
the little steel formula. I also re-
fused to grant the miners demand
for underground travel pay on
grounds that 1t could not force an
out-of-court settlement Of a law
suit. The union originally had based
its demand on q legal claim under
the wage hour law.
Anthracite Case
The anthracite case differed from
the Illinois bituminous agreement,
rejected by the board Tuesday
night, in that there had been no
agreement to settle the travel pay
issue. In the Illinois case the board
held that It could approve q portal
to portal wage structure but said the
basic daily wage must be cut from
$3.50 to 1912 to keep within limits
Of the sterilization pAogram.
The American Federation Of Labor
members Of the WLB issued q dis
senting opinion In the Illinois case
asserting that they saw mo reason
for the mental, legal and arithme-
teal gymnastics" INDUCED in by
the majority.
This decision Of the majority"
the AFL members said, adds an
other to the list Of decisions Of this
board which have been determined
not on the basis Of merit but rather
by the attitude Of the individuals
and government agencies who DOM
mate the actions Of the public
members Of the board"
It was considered significant that
the Congress Of Industrial Organ
ization members Of the board did
not Join In the dissent. They re-
NAMED silent.

Army front conferred in the vicinity
Of Teano, q road junction four miles
north Of Sparanise, which the Ger.
mans were defending with vigor.
Although they drove their wedge
deeper into the German positions,
the Americans had not reached the
town, which lies Just under the brow
Of the towering Massico ridge on
which the new defense line was
based.
Bitter fighting was reported on
the Eighth Army front where the
British and Canadian forces were
seeking to exploit o two-mile bridge
head which they held north Of the
Trigno river.
The Eighth was pushing toward
San Salvo, which is held by the
Nazis, and engagement on a SUBJ
stantial scale were reported Just
southeast Of thet own Of the Adri.
attic coastal sector.
To the west Of the San Salvo
area the Eighth had not yet reached
the Trigno, but the latest advances
Strengthened out the front and
brought It within o couple of miles
of the river at most points.

Seobees Are
Rough Tough

washington, Oct. SD--(UF)--More
than 100000 Seabees are serving
overseas and almost as many more
are IA training, It was learned to-
day.
Although the Navy construction
NAttnlions represent one Of the
youngest branches Of the naval
service, they already have estab-
liShed Q tradition for daring, and a
flair for doing seemingly impossible
tasks under difficult conditions.
They played and are playing an
important part In the Mediterran-
can and Solomons campaign.
The Seabees, although conceived
before the attack on Pearl Harbor,
received organizational impetus
after It was learned that 1000 Gle
villain construction workers fell in
20 the hands Of the Japanese along
with the remnants OF the Marine
harrison on Wake Island.
Today the membership Is fast APP
preaching the Gas, 000-maI1 quota set
for the organization. There are now
222 Seabee battalions.
Many colorful personalities have
been attracted to the Seabees. For
example, serving in their ranks is
Fred e. Kiah, formerly Of Brewer,
Me. Kiah, who Is 46, served in the
Canadian Air Force in France dur
ing the last war and was q colonel
IN the Bolivian Air Force, which
paid him for single day almost as
much as the Navy pays him for o
month.
Then there is Jim Nesbitt, Of Mo-
water, Okla, who was once q we'll
known rodeo performer and cham
pion bulldogger.
The son Of q state penitentiary
warden also Is serving In the Sea-
bees opening ships safes where COM
lbinations have been miSlaid-an art
that was taught him by expert yeggs
A his fathers care.
Another Seabee story was told by
II. Comdr. Robert Arthur Of Oklyn,
N. j. Two 32-foot water tanks had
been landed at a South Sea Island
port. The Seabees were ordered to
transport them to q hillside on the
other side Of the town but first to
cut them up because telephone wires
were strung along the streets only
Is feet above ground.
The boss Of the Seabee gang de-
cided too much time would be wasted
cutting UP the tanks. SO after night
fall, when the town was asleep, the
tanks were loaded on low bed trail
ers with q half-dozen wire shipping
Seabees perched on the forward tank
and another half -dozen wire-splicers
on the aft tank. Before dawn the
tanks were in place with everything
OlEay except maybe q few phone
subscribers wondered why they kept
getting wrong numbers the next
day"

on two other destroyers.
Other raiding planes pounded the
Kavieng airdrome on New Ireland
and the Gasmata field on the south
coast Of New Britain, and attacked
shipping throughout the area, sink
ing o coastal vessel.
At the extreme western arc OF
the Allied pincers closing in on

ground forces on the Huon penin-
sula Of northeastern New Guinea.
About 80 enemy planes were in
