Sen. Says U. S
Is Trimmed

Washington, Nov. 20-(UP)-Sen.
Ralph o. Brewster, R., Me-, report
ed today that two months of inten-
sive investigation has convinced him
more than ever that the United
States is taking diplomatic trim
ming" on preserving oil resources.
Brewster and four other senators
recommended after their world tour
this summer that American reserves
be safeguarded but he said recent
developments point to an even
greater drain on rapidly dwindling
supplies.
He referred especially to a recent
decision to increase by 100000 bar
rels the output of Venezuelan oil
fields, 80 per cent Americana owned,
and the collapse of negotiations for
government participation in eXpan-
sion of Persian Gulf refinery capa-
city.
Summing up results of the in
Quiry, he said he had found nothing
to indicate that the United States is
not taking a rocking on this DEAL"
Brewster talked to Petroleum Ad-
minisrator Harold L. Ickes, Foreign
Economic Administrator Leo Crow
ley and representatives of the Army
and Navy.
He was unable to place the blame
for the apparent lack of steps to
safeguard American reserves be-
cause "the whole thing is shrouded
in mist of uncertainty" His inves-
tigation, he said, will continue until
a solution is found"

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Nov. 20
(UP)-A state troopers testimony
provided the state with a strong
point today in its attempt to prove
generalization in the first degree
murder trial of Edwin Codarre, ID
Refusing to be shaken by persist
ent cross examination, Robert NC
Manus of the state police bureau
of criminal investigation reported
that Codarre said he killed 10-year
old Elizabeth Voigt because he was
afraid she would tell her parents
that he had attempted to be intim-
ate with her.
Because of his age, Codarre is
being tried on common law, rath-
er than a felony, charge, in which
the state must prove Fermentation
to obtain conviction that might
send him to the electric chair. He
is one of the youngest persons ever
to face murder charges in New
York State.
McManus. one of the states chief
witnesses at yesterdays session,
told Judge j. Gordon Flannery and
a jury of seven men and five wo-
men:
Eddie said after he asked Eliz-
abeth to let him become intimate
that she ran away and he was
scared she would report him to her
folks and the camp authorities, SO
he had to kill her in order that no
one would ever know"
Codarre had been staying at
camp for under-p privileged children
at East Fishkill, where the Staying
took place last Aug. 10 in a seclud-
ed lane. Previous testimony brought
out that the youth had lured the
child into the lane on the preteXt
of wanting tn find her brother.

Pearl Harbor, November 20
= (UP) - An American
carrier task force pierced the
japanese shield of mid
Pacific bases Thursday to
send out planes that bonn

joined Army bombers in a
nonstop offensive against
the Marshalls and Gilberts,

disclosed today.
(Tokyo radio said the attacks on
the Gilberts continued into Their

score planes raided the islands
Twenty of them were said to have
been shot down. A retaliatory jap
anese raid on American-held Funa-
futi Island in the Ellice group also
was alleged)
In actions possibly presaging in
creasing blows to crumple the long
island-hinged enemy defenses across
the Pacific, the fleet units hit Maui
ru with 80 tons of bombs and at
tackled Betio Island, in Tarawa Atoll
of the Gilberts.
Big fires were started and several
enemy aircraft were destroyed on
the ground at the tiny 6 1-2-square-
mile Phosphate Island which lies
500 miles west of the Gilberts and
just south of the equator inside the
Japanese fringe of Islands guarding
her Pacific conquests.
One small ship was set afire and
two of seven enemy zero fighters
appearing belatedly during the at
tack were shot down. Not U. S
plane was lost and only one pilot
was wounded by ground fire.
Nauru, which produced four pei
cent of the worlds phosphate before
the war, never had before been hit
by carrier planes. Liberators had
raided it several times. 1t is only l.
200 miles southeast of the big jap
anese naval base at Truk, in the Car
dimes.
Shortly before announcement oil
the Nauru raid was made by Adj
miral Chester w. Nimitz' headquar-
tiers, a communique disclosed the at
tack on Betio, where large oil fires
were started.

Polite Rap
For Mrs. FDR

Washington, Nov. 20.-(UP)-A
tall, quiet Kansas congressman today
scolded Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and
the League of Women Voters for
their charges that congressional foes
of the administration subsidy pro-
gram sought to betray the nation
to special interests.
Rep. Clifford r. Hope, R., Kan,
said only one special interest con-
troled congress-"The people Of the
United States"
He criticized statement by the
national board of the League of
Women Voters that ruin lies ahead"
if congress persists in it's refusal
to see that subsidies are essential
to price CONTROL" and that the
Interests of the country are be-
ing betrayed by political leaders who
yield to the demands of special in
terest groups"
Mrs. Roosevelt's press conference
statement that she preferred "a gov
eminent which is controlled by the
people rather than private
interests"-with the inference that
private llllGIeStS uueCUtu Illt dlltA-
subsidy fight-also was criticized by
Hope.
1.-THE people are not sold on sub
Sides" he said. "They are worried
about the enormous public debt, and
they can see no reason for adding
to it the grocery bills of genera
ton that has the highest income
in American history.
1.-The national board of the League
of Women Voters seems to adopt
the attitude that the national debt
is a blessing, not burden"
Hope said congress had received
little indication that the people IA
vored the subsidy program. He
termed typical the case of Rep.
Richard Kleberg, D., Tex, who told
the house:
'I've had three letters favoring
subsidies-one from no-account
cowhand who used to work for me;
one from a man in Brooklyn whose
name I can't pronounce; and one
from Philip Murray, president of
the CO."

at present they seem more logical

Baron Franz Won Papen, German

3 Withdrew
From Field As
Candidates

Chicago, Nov. 20 - CUP Three
state governors Withdrew their
names as Republican presidential
possibilities today on the heels of
warning by Wendell L. Willkie that
attempts to block pre-convention
strength of leading candidates by
filling the field with favorite sons
would lead to a COP disaster.
Two of the governors, Leveret
Saltonstall of Massachusetts, and
Dwight GriSWold of Nebraska, said
they would not permit their names
to be entered in their own state pre-
ferential primaries as presidential
| candidates. The third, Earl Warren
of California, said circumstances
might force him to enter the prim-
airy in his own state but he would
not be candidate elsewhere.
The three, in Chicago to attend
the general council of the council
of state governors, made it plain in
interviews that they would not seek
the nomination.
Willkie, in Wisconsin last week to
sample midwest political opinion,
warned that a reported attempt to
prevent leading candidates from
gaining preconvention strength by
pledging state delegations to favor
ite sons might result in REPETITION
Of the Warren G.. Harding disaster
of 1920"
A fourth presidential candidate
from the ranks of COP governors,
John w. Bricker of Ohio, who has
announced his active candidacy for
the nomination, said he had not de-
cided whether to enter the party
primaries outside his own state, par
ticularly the controversial Illinois
preferential primary where liberal
ara conservative elements were ex-
pected to test their strength.
Bricker made it evident that he
was confident of attracting conven-
ton strength if offered as favorite
son by his own state delegat. On.
Griswold, who Thursday ANNOUNCE
ed his candidacy for reelection,
said despite his Endorsement for the
presidential nomination By Nebras-
ka's congressional delegation, he had
mo intention whatever of entering
the Nebraska preferential primary"
1.-THE contest in my state appears
to be between Harold StasSen of
Minnesota and Willkie," Griswold
said.

ernor, now Is. on active duty as a

Allied Headquarters, Southwest
Pacific, Nov. 20-(UP)-AuStral
troops attacked main Japanese de-
lenses at Satelberg in drive to
crush the last major enemy pocket
on New Guinea's Huon peninsula
while Allied planes scored new sue
cesseS along a 3,000-mile front from
Java to the Solomons, it was dis
closed today.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's spokes-
man said the infantrymen who at
tackled Satelberg from Finschhafen,
10 miles southeast, on Tuesday had
advanced to within a mile of the
township by Thursday, when Mitch
ell and Marauder bombers struck
the Japanese positions with A tons
of explosives in four attacks.
(CDomei, japanese news agency,
in dispatch broadcast by Tokyo
said 5000 American troops made the
Satelberg drive with tank support
and were repulsed with 500 dead and
four tanks destroyed after two days
of severe fighting. The enemy dis
patch admitted only eight japanese
dead and seven wounded in the bat
tie and said the American troops
were being swept back. Allied re-
ports indicated only Australian
ground troops were in the area0
Blasting of the enemy from Satel-
berg may take time. The Japanese
held a high plateau where artillery
was emplaced. The base of the ele-
walton was ringed with deep de-
lenses. The veteran Australians
were closing from the east and
south.
The strongest force of Liberators
ever sent against the Dutch East
Indies raided the former Dutch
naval base of Soerabaja on Java
with 81 tons of bombs-a record-in
a fight of 2,4OO miles round trip.

Reds Fight
For Zhitomir

Moscow, Nov. 20.-(UP)-RuSSlar
reinforcements of tanks, men and
planes rushed into the see-saW bat
tie at the southwestern tip of the
Kiev bulge today in an effort to seal
off a Nazi wedge, re-capture zhito-
mir and resume the Soviet drive to-
ward Poland and Rumania.
Some of the fiercest fighting since
the fall of Kiev ragged on the ap-
breaches to Zhitomir as an eSti-
mated 100000 Axis troops sought at
all cost to throw back Russian forces
threatening the escape corridor for
Germans in the Dnieper bend.
On both sides of zhitomir, how
ever, the Russians were advancing
steadily. To the southeast, they
closed in on Cherkassy from a
newly-won bridgehead on the west
bank of the Dnieper, and to the
north they pushed on toward Poland
from Ovruch and Korosten and
frightened their stranglehold on
Gomel.
The Russians abandoned zhitomir,
IS miles west of Kiev, yesterday in
their second admitted withdrawal in
three days and took up newly-forti-
fled positions behind the city pend
ing new drive forward.
German Marshal Fritz Erich Won
Mannstein threw counter-attack
after counter attack at the Soviet
lines. Russian artillery took a
heavy toll of men and machines,
but still the Germans attacked in
an apparent do-or-die attempt to
blunt the Soviet offensive.
(The German international bu-
reau, a propaganda agency, claimed
that Russian troops were encircled
at Zhitomir and enormous booty
was captured, including great many
tanks and heavy offensive weap-
ons." The Germans did not brag
of their capture of zhitomir to the
extent anticipated, however, and 1t
was presumed that their hold on the
city was precariouS)
The capture of Zhitomir did not
bring the Germans any immediate
tactical advantages, however, for
the only railroads running through
the city already have been cut to
the north and east and were useless

The Russians consolidated their
hold on the Odessa-Leningrad line
with the capture of the junction of

and only little more than so miles
east of the old Polish border.
