advancing slowly northward on the

Japanese-held post on Western
Leyte. The Japs have hurled many
night counterattacks against the

The 32nd Divisions pace was
slowed by quagmire conditions as it
pushed to point one mile and a
quarter south of Jimon, which it
captured last week 1t was at Limon
that the enemy had elected to make
a determined stand.
The weather also retarded air op-
erations by both sides. Leyte-based
American fighter planes roared
through the murky overcast to bomb
Japanese supply depots in the Ormoc
Bay area, and others attacked enemy
supply lines in the Ormoc Valley and
a suspected barge hideout at nearby
Cebu Island.
A few Japanese planes made des-
ultory attempts to find targets, but
apparently were unsuccessful.
Japanese casualties in the Leyte
fighting and in attempts to REIN
force their garrisons there are be-
lieved to be approaching 100000. An
estimated $4,000 Jap troops were
lost at sea as American planes de-
stroyed seven conveys seeking to

duce him to settle the case after Mr.
Biddle had conferred with Thomas
G. Corcoran, former New Deal BRAIN
truster, who was interested In the
suit as private attorney.
Mr.. Abrahams said that after the
jury returned verdict of 81 ,285, 900,
the Government filed a motion for a
new trial, which was overruled by
Federal Judge A. B. Lovett, who
stated that he didn't consider the
verdict against the weight of evi-
dence or excessive.
Then, Mr.. Abrahams said, Mr..
Littell invited Savannah Shipyards
counsel to Washington to discuss a
settlement and proposed that if the
shipyards were to write, off $150,0O0
OF the verdict, besides interest, he
would settle.
This proposition" Mr.. Abrahams
said, was promptly declined" It
is impossible for Mr.. Litteu to recon-
cile that offer with the statement
now made that he declined to settle
the case"
Mr.. Littell, he said, insisted on the
case being appealed to the Circuit
Court of Appeals, which affirmed
the lower courts judgment. The
verdict, he added, was finally paid
with added interest amounting to
$92, 1000.
The stubbornness and vindictive-
ness OF Mr.. Littell cost the Treasury
of the United States about $500 900,
plus the tremendous cost of the un-
successful fight made by the Gov
ernment based on an unfounded
theory" Mr.. Abrahams said.
In Washington, Mr.. LitteI count
cred with a statement that he was
appalled, at what they CMr. Abra-
hams and other defense counseD
demanded of the Government"
Mr.. Abrahams also insisted on
interest on those fees and all other
costs of construction" he said, Il
made very short work of that con-
ference, and told them we would
meet In court before would will
lngly pay any taxpayers money for
such perfectly preposterous charges
as part of the construction of a
shipyard in time of war.
That was wholly correct in this
view was subsequently sustained by
the Circuit Court of Appeals which.
contrary to Mr.. Abrahams' present
statement and, as he we'll knows.
held that the admission of these
charges by the Trial Court was in
error. Unfortunately the Circuit
Court of Appeals held that these
were not prejudicial errors to Justify
reversal"

Chandler Urged as Successor
To Lands as Baseball Gar
Kentucky Senator
Won Recognition
In College Sports

Senator Chandler, Democrat, OF
Kentucky is being put forward by
friends as successor to the late
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands
in the office of commissioner of
professional baseball.
The Kentucky Senator, who was
Governor of his State before he was
elected to the Senate, still has four
years of his present term to serve.
However, he is ardently interested
in sports and undoubtedly would
accept if the office were rendered
him. He is graduate of Transyl-
vania College and of the University
of Kentucky Law School. In COL
lege he played baseball, football
and basket ball. His chief interest,
however, has always been baseball
He was captain of his college base
ball team and later played profess
sional ball in Kentucky and in a
minor league in the West.
The selection of a new commits
sioner of baseball will be made by
the owners of the 16 major league
baseball clubs, or if no selection is
made within three months, either
one of the two major leagues may
request President Roosevelt to name
a new commissioner The owners
are to hold their usual winter meet
ing in New York December 11-13.
They could pick their commissioner
then or put off action until next
year-as they may do.
Among those whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the commissionership are Leslie
O'Connor, secretary to Judge Lands.
who has said he was not a candi-
date for the job: James A. Farley
former Postmaster General and
Democratic national chairman,
Judge Harry S. McDevitt of Phila-
delphia, Thomas j. Courtney, who
recently was defeated in his race
for Governor of Illinois, and former
Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York.
Those who are putting Senator
Chandler forward for the place say
he has the knowledge, the love for
the game and all other qualifica-
tions.

Nazis May Abandon
Rules Of War Due

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-The German
high command says 1t is considering
abandoning international agree
ments on the laws of war, which,
among other things, ban use Of
poison gas and provide for humane
treatment of war prisoners.
Provoked by the proclamation of
French Maj. Gen. Jacques Leclerc
that unless sniping ceased in Stras-
bourg five German hostages would
be executed for each Frenchman
shot, the Nazi high command yes
terday said the. strongest counter
reprisals against French prisoners
in Germany would be taken as
result of such step"
"As conditions are, an inquiry
is already in progress as to whether
Germany should continue to regard
herself bound by the Geneva and
Hague conventions, respectively, as
well as by other international agree
ments about the laws of war, insofar
as they have been broken by our
enemies" said the high command
statement, broadcast by DNB, off,
cial German news agency.
Before Gen. Leclerc and his
French I'd Armored Division had
a chance to carry out his procla-
nation they were moved from
Strasbourg. 1t appeared that his
order-scheduled to have gone into
effect today-would die a natural
death.
1t had been pointed out previ-
ously that execution of hostages in
reprisal for sniping could be done
within the bounds of the Geneva
convention, as long as the hostages
were not war prisoners.
The German high command state
ment asserted the inquiry into
whether the Nazis should adhere
to international rules of war was
taken in view of the increasing
of international law

Stettinius Promises
FuIfinment Of Hu||'s
Lasting Peace Plans
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Secretary of State Stettinius has
taken the Office vacated by the vet
eran statesman Cordell Hull with
a pledge to the American people
that he will dedicate his admins
tration to building "a peace that will
endure"
Surrounded by his family, friends
and high Government officials, Mr.
Stettinius late yesterday was ad-
ministered the oath of Office by
Justice Robert H. jackson of the
Supreme Court. He placed his hand
on Bible given to him by Mr. Hull
when he became Undersecretary.
The new Secretary kissed Mrs
Stettinius, shook hands with Gen
George c. Marshall, Army Chief of
Staff, and other friends, and then
held brief conference with news
papermen. There he issued formal
statement pledging himself to carry
out the policies of Mr.. Hull, whose
resignation was forced by illness,
and appealing for the cooperation
of the American people in establish
ing peaceful world
Youngest, Save One.
Mr.. Stettinius, the 50th Secretary
of State in American history, is the
youngest to serve in that office save
one-Edmund Randolph, also Vir-
ginian, who was appointed by George
Washington at the age of Al.
The new Secretary enters Office at
a momentouS time in world history,
when this country is preparing to
be the host to a United Nations
conference, to be held in January
to prepare for that assembly, which
will seek to establish a world secur-
lty organization along the lines laid
down at Dumbarton Oaks.
After paying tribute to Mr.. Hull
as a great statesman" Mr.. Stet-
tlniuS said:
Il now take up the heavy respon-
sibilities which Cordell Hull, unfor-
tunately for all of US, has found it
necessary to relinquiSh. l do so
humbly and with a deep sense of !
dedication. l shall do my utmost to |
carry out the high principles for
which Mr.. Hull has always stood in |
the conduct of our foreign policy.
Looks to Peace Structure.
TO build from the havoc of this
war a peace that will endure is al
task far beyond the strength and
wisdom of any one man or group of
men. 1t will require the active par
tiClpatlon and support of all the |
American people-and all the other
peace-loving peoples of the world. |
In this task we must not fail. To
this task I dedicate myself in the
sure knowledge that together We
will not fail"
Later the State Department made |
public a letter from Mr.. Stettinius
to his former chief. now i'll in Naval |
Hospital. He told Mr.. Hull:
In accepting the appointment l
am fully conscious of the very great |
responsibilities of the office which |
you have filled with such high honor |
to yourself and benefit to our coun- |
try and the world during the past II
years. I shall be strengthened for
the task ahead by the knowledge
that have your confidence and sup
port"
AS soon as Mr.. Hull RECEIVERS his
strength, he is expected to act as an
informal adviser on foreign policy
