A MYSTERY STORY

London newspapers played the
proclamation as almost a mystery
story, pointing out that II was the
second within a month that Hitler
failed to deliver an address per-
sonally. The other was issued Oct.
lS when the Peoples Army was
called up for duty.
The latest proclamation, like IFS
Immediate predecessor. was aired
over Radio Berlin by Himmler,
appearing before an audience in
Munich. Himmler was introduced
by Paul Giesler. the Munich
gauleiter.
Hitler has not been heard pub
iicly since last July q.
HINT HITLER Is DEAD
Belief in London is that the
proclamation read by Himmler
was written by leaders Of the
Eazi party rather than by Hitler.
The Daily Express quoted Emil
Ludwig as saying that Hitler s
death may be announced any day
now"
Even as the proclamation was
being reported by the Nazi DNB
agency, the German radio was an

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 QNS)
Wholesale changes in the make
up of the War Labor Board we're
foreshadowed today with the dis
closure that WLB Chairman Davis
and two veteran public members
submitted their designations"
All have asked to be relieved of
their duties by the first of the
year. The other members are DR..
George w. Taylor, WLB vice
chairman, and DR.. Frank p.
Graham. president of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina.
Davis told a news conference
that he had written to Mr.. Roose-
welt on his 65th birthday last Aug.
% asking the President at his
convenience to relieve him of the
WLB Craftsmanship sometime be-
fore the first of the year.
STILL IN AIR
THE President replied that
he'd like to see me and talk IL
over" Davis said. That's the
way the situation stands. I have
not seen the President yet"
DR.. Taylor informed newsmen
that he had written a letter to
Mr.. Roosevelt last Oct. 10 asking
TO be relieved of his duties before
Dec. l, if possible. Taylor said
he had not received a reply from
the President.
DR.. Taylor said that he would
return TO the University of
Pennsylvania when his resigna-
ton from the WLB is accepted.
Davis said that WLB action on
the long pending Go steel work
ers' case. which has spearheaded
labor's drive to break the Little
Steel wage freeze, will be dis
posed of before Jan. /. He re-
fered to a board action on so
called fringe" issues, such as va
cations and severance pay - and
to the general wage increase de-
mand which will be up to Mr..
Roosevelt.

In spite of the trek from Alaska

10000 years ago. Certain primitive
artifacts found in recent years in
the Southwest are believed by some

Yet, because Alaska has an ever

only about 1000 years.
Now, it is possible that the present

These apparently prehistoric bones

hunters have been found.
