Grand Jury Probing
Alleged Plane Lobby
Continued ) Months

The District grand jury which has
been investigating possible law vio-
lations in connection with large
lobbying fund allegedly raised by
large aircraft firms, has been or
dered continued for another three
months, from January 3, in order to
go into more details of the investi-
cation.
The order for the extension was
signed by Chief Justice Edward c.
Elcher Of District Court late yester-
day after a formal request for the
continuance had been made by
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran: Tom c. Clark, assistant to
the Attorney General, and Philip R..
Miller, special attorney at the JUS
tice Department.
The investigation was launched
following an inquiry in the fall of
this year by the House Naval Affairs
Committee into the Brewster Aero
nautical Corp.
The request for the grand jury's
continuance revealed that among
those whose activities are being in
vostlgated are Clyde Il. Herring.
former Democratic Senator from
Iowa; William D. Jameson, former
Democratic Representative of Iowa,
and Frank j. Comfort, Democratic
national committeeman from Iowa.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee disclosed
in October that the Justice Depart
ment was investigating the DISPOSE
tlon of $65,00 fund said to have
been raised i'll 1910 by four aircraft
companies seeking revision of the
Revenue Act. An amendment to
that end was sponsored by Mr..

Herring when he was a Senator and
was incorporated into the act.
Earlier this month Mr., Herring re-
vealed he had testified before the
grand jury, explaining he had ap-
peared before it at his own request
to explain the part he played in
amending the Revenue Act, the
effect of which was to lower taxes
for aircraft companies.
When Mr.. Herring told of his ap-
pearance before the grand jury he
said the amendment had been
drawn up by the Treasury Depart
ment to correct an injustice.
Some time ago Representative
Grant, Republican, of Indiana, pre-
sented statement which he said he
was reading from a Government

"The newspapers" Mr.. Friendly

THE mills which manufacture the

Waste paper today is one of the

shortages and it becomes more i'm

Politics
Continued From First Page.)

cratic conclave 1t put up $780, ,00(
for the Republican meeting in 1910
while Chicago raised $200, 900 for the
Democrats.
There have been indications that
some cities, including Chicago, might
not be very anxious to raise a big
sum to pay the expenses of the con-
ventions next year in return for add
ed business the crowds bring to theil
merchants. Such cities are already
bursting with people and money
while things to buy are none toe
plentiful.
But party leaders believe the
political organizations will see to it
that sufficient sums are raised when
the time comes to put the conven-
tions on the auction block.
Democrats May Meet Late.
Republicans probably will set their
convention for June or July, as is
customary, and thus refuse to go
along with the proposal of Demo-
cratic Chairman Frank C. Walker
to hold late conventions with a view
to shortening the presidential cam
paign because of the war.
The Democrats may hold their
nominating meeting as late as Sep
tember, leaving only two months or
less for campaign, unless, of
course. a candidate other than Presi-
dent Roosevelt is in sight before
hand. In that event, Democratic
leaders feel, it would take more time
to sell their nominee to the people.

Reich's Army Power
Greater Than in 1899,
Congress Is Advised

With 800 divisions in action or
ready for action, Germany's mill
tary strength Is greater than at the
start of the war In 1889, Mai. Gen.
George v. Strong. head OF the
Army's Military Intelligence Divi-
sion, told recent secret session OF
Congress, 1t became known today.
He also said that Japan's air power
is increasing.
Gen. Strong's principal points were
made public with his permission by
Representative Outland, Democrat,
of California.
Have 800 Divisions. :
Mr.. Outland. avowedly anxious to
prick any bubbles of optimism over
the war task ahead, declared that
Gen. Strong told a secret congress
sional session several weeks ago
that:
Il. The German Army has approx
mately three times as many combat
divisions in the field today as 1t had
when the attack on Poland began
more than four years ago.
2. The Germans now have 300
well-trained divisions. This year
alone they reformed or re-equipped
or raised more than so new divisions,
each of which has approximately
600 machine guns and 800 heavier
weapons.
3. The Reich raised and equipped
armored, motorized and infantry
divisions to replace each of the 20
lost at Stalingrad last winter.
Luftwaffe Has Expanded.
4 The Luftwaffe is larger now
than it was in 1889
5. The number of workers en-
ployed in war industries In Nazi-
dominated territory has risen from
23,000,00 at the outset Of the war
to 35 900 900 now. The weapons they
are making are, in some cases. better
than any which the United Nations
yet have.
6. There is nothing in the German
economic picture to justify con-
fidence in the immediate downfall Of
the Nazi structure. For example,
German food rations today are
higher in caloric content than they
were at the outbreak OF hostilities.
/. The Japanese still have some
2 900 900 men Of military age who
have not yet been called to the
colors, and they have nearly as
many more in the 17-20-year age
group who are not now subject to
the draft.
q In the air, Japanese strength is
on the upgrade. The enemy has
not only replaced the planes lost in
combat but is improving both the
quantity and quality of It's air force.
Moreover, the pilot training pro-
gram has been stepped up and is
keeping pace with an accelerated
production schedule.

Reported kazi Prisoner

1t. John G. Winant, jr,, %, son

cording to cable from London to
his brother, Rivington Winant, a

1t. Winant, who piloted a Flying
Fortress, participated in the flight
from Britain to North Africa dur
ing which Regensberg was bombed.
He had been forced to turn back to

cause of engine trouble but was
able to fly back to his home base a
few days later.

Police Are Defended
In Racial Disturbance
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON. Nov. 12.-Police Com
missioner Joseph F. Timilty de-
clared yesterday that to blame the
Boston police force for recent so
called" anti-Semitic disturbances or
failure to suppress them was pre-
posterous" as he defended his de-
partment against charges of neglect
of duty brought by Public Safety
Commissioner John F. Stokes.
TT is apparent that so-called
anti-Semitic prejudices are not con-
fined to Boston, but are prevalent
in other communities, and that out
RACES against individual Jews have
been a consequence of it," the COM
missioner said.
"A good beginning" he continued
In statement, would be to put an
end to the social ostracism that is
visited on our Jewish brethren, not
by patrolmen or police sergeants,
but the very elements that are now
so enthusiastic in their friendship
to the Jews and their anxiety to
protect them" '-'
The country's history is "replete
with sporadic outbreaks of social
and religious hatred" Mr.. Timilty
said.
Mr.. Stokes report disclosed no
organized anti-Semitism behind re-
cent attacks. but said dissemination
of anti-Jewish literature was or
ganized and should be dealt with
immediately" >"

Wi||kie Says Republicans
Must Avoid Error Of 1920
HS the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 12.-Wen-
dell L. Willkie yesterday asserted
that the Republican party has
never recovered from the convention
of 1920, which resulted in the NOM
nation of a candidate who later re-
pudiated international cooperation
and a liberal policy in our domestic
economy"
Warren G Harding was nominated
as a compromise candidate by the
1920 Republican Convention.
Mr.. Willkie was asked if reports
were true that John D. M. Hamil-
ton and Joseph Pew are seeking to
create enough favorite-son candi-
dates in various States to prevent
any one else getting preconvention
majority of delegates in 1914.
That was done in 1920" the 1910
Republican standard bearer replied.
The Republican leadership in 1914,
instead of seeking to have a 1920
type of convention should be work.
ing to have a reverse type, to DEM
onstrate to the people that the tragic
error of % years ago will not be re-
peated."

For all these things we are de-
