Both Allies and Nazis
Spring Surprises in
New War Weapons
Still More Expected
As Conflict Neurs
Crueiul Stage
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 13-The rapid ap-
pearance of new weapons in recent
land, sea and air warfare was be-
lieved here today to be only the first
of armament developments likely in
the next nine months, which Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill have termed the decisive
period of the war.
Already the British have disclosed
the use of radio-location device to
detect surfaced U-boats and de-
velopment by the Royal Air Force
of revolutionary type of delayed
action bomb.
The Germans have put into sery-
ice a new 75-millimeter anti-tank
gun and long range fighter
bomber.
Secret to Nazis.
Mr.. Churchills optimism over
prospects of defeating the submarine
menace to Allied shipping was be-
lieved by informed observers here as
based on development of the new
detection device.
While the scientific principles of
radio-location have been known to
all the powers, the Germans have
been unable, the British say, to OBJ
tain the secret of its adaptation to
U-boat detection. The device can be
used from boats or planes by day or
night to spot unfriendly warships,
blockade runners or submarines sur
facing to recharge batteries. Radio
location has long been used in night
fighter planes.
The RATS new delayed action
bombs were dropped recently on an
industrial area of Copenhagen
The time action of the bomb per-
mits factory personnel to escape
before the explosion but if handled
by bomb removal squadron it is
likely to explode. The purpose of
the bomb is to compel evacuation of
factory areas.
German Weapons New.
A dispatch from the Tunisian
battle front disclosed the Germans
are using 75-millimeter anti-tank
gun which American troops en-
countered for the first time. Some
American officers rated the weapon
fully as destructive as the deadly
88millimeter which shattered many
British tanks in Western Libya last
year.
In recent hit-and-run raids over
England the Germans have used
the Messerschmitt 210, a new type
of heavily armed fighter bomber. :

Court Clerks Upheld
In Use Of Rubber Stamps

Hard-pressed Municipal Court
clerks received reassuring news from
a Municipal Court of Appeals deci-
sion yesterday which held that they
may use rubber stamps to affix their
signatures on court papers.
The Appeals Court upheld lower
court decision that the signature
need not be written by the hand
of the clerk"
Noting that more than 1000 cases
are filed in Landlord and Tenant
Court alone each month, the opinion
stated that the rubber stamp
method relieves the clerks of great
inconvenience.
The case involved was that of
Julia McGrady, appellant, VS.. The
Munsey Trust Co.. The appellant,
appealing from a judgment for pos
session of real estate rendered in
favor of the landlord, based her ap-
peal on the fact that the name. of
the assistant clerk of the court was
placed on the summons by rubber
stamp.
The decision was written by Judge
Andrew Hood, and concurred in by
Judges William E. Richardson and
Nathan Cayton.

greater temporary fanaticism in

whoever he may be, to prove that

Later, I am firmly convinced,
there will come a falling apart of
the Nazi structure. But that is
motter for the future.
The question has often been asked
whether Hitler has double. During
the 10 or II years during which I
have had an opportunity to see
Hitler, to observe him at close
range, to speak to him, have seen
no evidence of a double.
Trouble for Double.
For one thing, if one stands close
to him, one cannot but observe
that he must at one time have had
very bad teeth which obviously were
repaired at much later period of
his life.
Next, there are certain slight man
nerisms of speech which even the
best of doubles would have Difficult
ty in initiating. The way he puts
forward his legs when marching or
walking, too, is peculiar to him
alone. Nor would double be able
to curve his shoulders in exactly
the same manner as nature has
curved Hitler.
Possibly Hitler may have double
for purposes of parades and
marches-past. If SO, I never have
beep conscious. of that !. fact. The
man saw innumerable times on
public occasions was always the
genuine Adolf Hitler to me.

Mental Illness Peril
To Postwar America
Urges Medical Men

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. l3.-
There is some danger that the
United States may lose the peace
because of mind sickness" among
its masses, DR.. Walter L. Treadway.
a medical director of the United
States Public Health Service, as
serted today.
The danger, he said, lies in what
he termed the refusal of both indi-
viduals and groups to accept VOL
untary discipline, in their unwilling
ness 70 work to the limit OF their
ability for the common good, in their
lack of courage to face the future
realistically and in their inability
to cooperate to settle their differ

effort"
DR.. Treadway addressed a group
OF medical experts and State of
ficials at the dedication of State
hospital to be devoted to research
and treatment of mental diseases.
The United States and its Allies
are certain to win the war, DR..
Treadway said, but military victory,
as in the past, may cause the public
to favor the use OF extreme meas
ures in the building of the peace
structure.
He urged that psychiatry and other
branches of medicine be used to the
fullest possible extent to condition
the minds of individuals to the idea
of social cooperation.
One out of every Is children in
America today will be in need of
disqualification for mental trouble
at some stage of life, and the sane
proportion will be mentally i'll, but
will not require disqualification, DR..
Treadway asserted.
This means" he added, "that
10000 or more American children
are destined to become mental in
valids unless something is done to
prevent it."
The new hospital, officially de-
scribed as the largest and most ad-
vanced of its kind west of Chicago,
will be headed by DR.. Karl M. Bow
man, formerly of Harvard University
Medical School and Bellevue Hospi-
tai, New York.
