Accusations In Anti-Semitism

Boston, Nov. li-(UP)-Accusa- tons multiplied today in the bitter feud between Massachusetts Atty Gen. Robert T. Bushnell and Boston Police Commissioner Joseph 2. Tim ilty following publication of a spe- cial report blaming police laxity for anti-Semitic disturbances in the greater Boston area.
 The attorney-general declared last night that the special report Of State Public Safety Commissioner John F. Stokes was further con- firmation of the disgraceful break down of law which has been toler- ated, concealed and encouraged in Boston for a long time."
 "The Stokes report describes Q large number of acts of violence described as anti-Semitism," Bush nell said. Tt may disclose the arl- swer 70 my question, as to whether those responsible for the Boston po- lice department have confined their prosecutions to the four boys of Awish parents, whose cases are now

 "No statement can be issued these days about the Boston police de- partment without public word be- ing added by the cratic occupant of the office of encouragement" Timilty said sarcastically. This intellectual genius apparently feels that the whole anti-Semitic ques- ton can be solved by the removal of the Boston police commissioner" ]"

De korieny Case Closing

Nassau, Bahamas, Nov. ll.-UP) Justice Sir Oscar Daly today charged the jury that will decide whether Alfred De Marigny is to die on the gallows for the murder of multi-millionaire Sir Harry Oakes or return to his third wife, Nancy, daughter of the slain man.
 The Justice began his charge after Attorney General Eric Hallinan, m a bitter summation for the prosecu- ton, had berated the 36-year-old De Marigny, who married Sir Harrys oaugnter two uAys after she became 18, as a fortune hunter, cad, liar and murderer.
 Daly was expected to take several hours in setting forth the law to the 12 men who will decide the defend ants case. Then they will retire and deliberate their verdict.
 Under British law. two verdicts were within the power Of the jury guilty of murder which automatical- ly carries with it the penalty of hanging, and acquittal. Justice Daly could not comment on the evidence or the credibility of the witnesses.
 Liberty of Subjects
 "We are fighting for the liberty of our individual subjects" the jus tice began, solemnly addressing the 12 men, mostly tradesmen and busi- ness men, who have sat in the jury box for four weeks listening to more than 50 witnesses. 'It is up to you, the fellow men of the accused, to decide his fate.
 "The first warning am giving you is that you must arrive at your verdict solely upon the evidence heard in this trial. Upon July 8, Nassau awakened to learn of the ghastly manner in which one Of her outstanding citizens had been done to death.
 My second instruction Is that no amount Of suspicion makes man guilty. It is the duty of the crown to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that man is guilty. It is not Up to the accused to prove his inno- cence. The accused Is innocent until proven guilty"
 He then took up the defense charge of fabrication.
 It was his personal belief, he said. that there had been no in- tentional fahricf ton on the part of

Eden Reports To Commons Re Moscow

London November II. - CUP) = Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told commons today that the Mos- COW conference had agreed upon measures for shortening the war presumably including the opening of a second front--but said they would be revealed "only as they develop at the expense of the com mon enemy"

 The foreign secretary said Mene- mencoglu had returned to Ankara to report and meanwhile there is nothing further I can say regard ing the Cairo conference.
 All Information
 He said the communique and documents released by Russia, the United States and Britain follow ing the Moscow conference "includ- ed all the information regard ing the work of the conference which we felt it possible to make public at this time"
 This was done by agreement among the three foreign secretaries, he said.
 Eden acknowledged that agree ment was not reached on every point, but said all countries bene- fitted from the exchange of views.
 There is this can say regarding our military discussions" he said. T believe perhaps they did more good for our mutual relations through the frank and exhaustive examination made of them than any other phase of the conference.
 One Purpose
 We were striving for one pur- pose only, to try to bring the war to an end at the earliest possible moment and thereafter full cooper ation with each other to insure that the peoples of the world might live in peace"
 Eden said the principle to which the conferees agreed in the declar-

SOVIETS READY NEW THRUSTS
 AGAINST FOES

Moscow, November II. -, (UP) - The Red Army plunged to within 90 miles of the old Polish frontier today in a fan-out beyond Kiev de- Scribed as the prelude to a new series of Soviet hammer blows designed to hurl the Germans out of the Ukraine and aggravate their plight on other fronts.
 As a Russian column sped vest. ward along the Kiev highway some 28 miles from Zhitomir, key junc- ton and Nazi base of the northwest Ukraine. military quarters indicated that Marshal Josef Stalin was readying his army for its winter campaign.
 Winter-Red Army fighting weather'--was creeping down from the north, and new thrusts were in the making. There was a limited number of guesses where the blows would fall, but the first objective appeared to be the complete libera- tion of the Ukraine.
 While the middle column of Gen. Nikolai F. Vatuin's first Ukrainian army drove against Zhitomir, those northwest and southwest of Kiev advanced steadily to keep both Hanks in order.
 Practically. Vatutins army was spreading like oil on water, seeping through the retreating enemy forces and seeking the weakest point for the next shattering blow.
 German COmmunique
 CA German communique reported that renewed Soviet attacks on the Kerch Peninsula of the Eastern Crimea had been repelled "but for a local break" that the Russians were attacking repeatedly in the Perekop area of the northern Cri- mea and around Perekop in the Dnieper Bend; and that the Red Army attacked with strong artil- lery and armor northwest of Cher nigov in an attempt to break through.)
 Everywhere the Red Army was reported in complete control of the situation and able to redistribute its forces at will for striking wherever it might choose. 2.

 The president told Congress that while there is no physical standard by which lend-lease or reverse lend lease can be measured, the United States has received less than $2,000,- 100000 altogether ill return for nearly S14.OO0, 100000 spent by this country.
 Mutual Aid Report
 At the same time in London, Sir John Anderson, the first mutual aid" report to Commons, declared that Britain is giving the United States mot much less" in relation to British national income than this country is giving Britain in relation to American national income.
 In addition to reverse lend-lease given to the United States, Ander- sons report said. Britain has given similar aid totaling Sl,5000 000, ,000. to Russia and other Allied countries.
 Both the American and British re- ports emphasized that the United Nations were pooling their resources in a common cause.
 "One thing is clear" President Roosevelt said, "by which the help which our friends and Allies have given us, and by the help which we haze given them in the common cause, we have not only made pro- gress in the war, but we have saved the lives of our own boys as well as those of our Allies"
 Financial Sacrifice
 The British report asserted that the part played by the British com- monwealth in the field of mutual aid cannot be measured in terms of money" Financial sacrifice lis not the most valuable part of what any of the United Nations is called upon to contribute to total war; it said. adding:
 The claims of war against each are the same: That is, that they should give all they have.'

turkey May Enter War On Our Side Within 3 Months

Ankara, Nov. 11-(UP)-The im- pression was growing in informed circles today that Turkey will enter the war on the side of the Allies within three months.
 Foreign Minister Numan Mene- mencioglu's conference with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden at Cairo last week were believed to have laid the groundwork for Tur- keys entry.
 While speculation aboard center ed mainly on the possibility that Turkey will grant air bases to the Allies in observers here were in- clining more and more to the theory that a fuller role in Allied strategy may have been assigned this coun- try.
 Disclosure of Turkeys role, how ever. presumably will be delayed un- til all necessary arrangements for putting prepared plans into action have been completed.
 Could Provide Bridge
 Turkey could provide land bridge over which British and pos sibly American troops in the mid de East could invade Bulgaria and Greece for a pincers offensive a. gainst the Balkans in conjunction with the Russian Ukrainian drive.
 From Turkish bases, Allied planes could mount heavy air offensive against the Ploesti oil fields in Ru- mania and other strategic Balkan targets.
 It was understood that Menemen- cioglu was scheduled to make at least a partial report on his talks with Eden at a secret session of the peoples party wit. .ir the next few days, but neither the British em- bassy nor the Turkish office will
