LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Ber-

speech it said was made by Hit
ler nine days ago in which he
told 1000 young officers that
"the nation that loses this war
will cease to exist"
In this struggle only one theology

saying. THE other will be de.

Today's broadcast did not explain
the delay in releasing the address
1T would be madness to expect
from this struggle anything but vic.
tory or annihilation," Hitler was
quoted as saying in the speech, made
before the Raj began its big-scale
destruction of Berlin.
In contrast with his previous
statements that Providence had
helped Germany, the broadcast said
LAS so often in the past, so today
Providence will bestow no gifts or
our nation in its struggle for free
dom and its future"
Raising the possibility Of German
defeat, he asserted that if the Allies
won then the barbarity of the
steppes would sweep across the con.
tinent and destroy it as the base

Justice Department
Asks Appellate Ruling
On McNabb Decision
Mitchell Case Made
Bosis Of Action on
Use of Confessions

In a move designed to obtain
clarif1cation of the Supreme
Court decision in the McNabb
case, the Justice Department to-
day asked the high tribunal to
review the action of the Court
of Appeals in setting aside the
conviction of James P. Mitchell,
so-called Washington society
burglar" on the basis of the Nc
Nabb rule.
In the petition filed by Solicitor
General Charles Fahy. the Govern
ment said that two questions were
raised:
First-Whether. under the Nc
Nabb decision, rendered last March,
"a subsequent delay in arraignment
precludes the admission in evidence
of a confession given while deten-
ton without arraignment was
proper, and which was not in re-
sponse to interrogation, and to
which the delay in arraignment bore
no causative relation"
Second-Whether the ruling has
any application to prevent the use in
evidence of property secured with
out search warrant, but pursuant
to the defendants consent given
while in detention prior to arraign-
ment."
In the McNabb case, the court
barred confessions obtained in a
murder case, and set aside three
convictions, on the ground that the
defendants had been held too long
for questioning before they we're ar
raigned.
The Court of Appeals following
this lead. set aside the conviction

would be nearer the Fourth of July
before any sizable percentage of the
stores get their applications passed
on if they apply.
The limited supply of fresh car
tons which each merchant was
allowed to receive this season proved
not enough to encase fragile articles
sold for mailing or delivery. So the
prudent buyers and floor managers
ordered their incoming goods opened
carefully and these cartons also pre-
served.
AS a further measure, the mer-
chants told their drivers to ask
householders to open the bundles
and give back the boxes or CORFU
gated rolls in which gifts had been
wrapped.
Somebody suggested it might be
good idea to offer the drivers an
incentive payment to make it worth
their while to bring back as many
cartons as possible.
Then the merchants ran sfoul of

RepuIse Of Japanese

Retiring in Disorder
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, Nov. 29.-Japa-
nese forces who have been at
tempting to seize the vital city
of Changteh, gateway to Chang
sha, have been beaten back and
are retiring in disorder, frag-

The Japanese have hurled waves
OF infantry at the city, supported by
continuous artillery fire and air

tenders fought back stubbornly.
The Chinese high command said
more than 1000 of the invaders were
wiped out Friday after they charged
behind clouds of poison gas. All
their attacks yesterday also were
repulsed.
Another 1000 Japanese were re-
ported near Tell, northwest of
Changteh, and it was said the enemy

yuan, southwest of the besieged city
The Chinese said previously that
