insisted, however, that they were due
to carelessness of his drivers, who, it
developed, frequently filled tanks in
stead of leaving only what had been
ordered by the Colliflower office.
Among those left off the OPA's
amended list were David Bowes-
Lyon, brother of Queen Elizabeth
and employe of the British Political
Warfare Mission here; F. Regis Noel,
former District Bar Association
president, and Carmelite College.
Mr.. Collif1ower insisted during the
administrative hearing in the Num-
cipal Court Building yesterday that
the OPA had failed in 95 per cent
of some 80 cases cited as override
liveries, to credit his firm with sup

Makes Admission.
In addition to charging that the
firm delivered more oil than was
called for by coupons surrendered
by customers, the local OPA alleges
the company during the current
heating season has detached cou-
pons from ration books of some of
its customers "for which no fuel
oil was delivered"
Mr.. Colliflower admitted In ex-
animation by Mr.. Berueffy that "the
only case that is really worrying me-
is the reported er-delivery to Ed
gar A. Brawner, president of Chest
nut Farms Chevy Chase Dairy, OF
1902 gallons. Mr. Collif1ower testi-
fled that Mr.. Brawner received 5,001
gallons last winter. then later ad-
mitted that his ration called for $500
gallons
He further testified that the dairy
official subsequently was issued 81!
gallons but he said the order wa.
received while he was out of town
After Mr.. Collifower had read {
long list of deliveries, Mr.. Berueffy
informed Mr.. Snider that ION Mr.
Collifower's testimony, we find 4!
accounts of over-delivery, varyinf
from 1902 gallons down to trivia

the bulk of such cases resulted from
errors of deliverymen. Mr.. Coli

without orders, making my own
ration account overdrawn."
Time and time again I have
warned our force" to be careful of
overdrafts, he declared. He added
that the firm also had been peset
by "absenteeism" of his clerical force
and the loss of several bookkeepers
He maintained that in many cases
customers listed by the OPA actual
ly had ended the heating season
with a surplus of coupons. These
rations were carried over to the ac-
counts of his customers, an arrange
ment permitted by the OPA.
After the OPA had rested its case
yesterday, Mr.. Colliflower moved for
dismissal. This was denied by Mr..
SNYDER.

Truce Between Nazis
And Army Reported
Arranged by HimmIer
By JOHN F. CHESTER,
Ssorjated Press Toreirn Corroepo,d. a.

ASSoClateu FresS roTelgn correspondent.
LONDON, Dec. S. Indications
have seeped out of Germany that
Heinrich Himmler, No.. Nazi dur
ing the current apparent eclipse of
Adolf Hitler, has reached some sort
of political-military truce with Ger
manys up-in-arms generals.
Generally reliable sources re-
ported yesterday that Himmler had
been holding series of significant
conferences for more than month
at his secret headquarters in South
ern Germany with top-ranking mill
tary. as we'll as party men.
One consideration in the reported
truce was said to be that Himmler
would keep Hitler under cover and
make him keep his hands off mill
tary affairs, leaving them to trained
Junkers tacticians.
This report, although unverified,
fitted well with the Fuehrer's re-
ported illness, his retirement from
the public eye and improved defense
tactics of the German Army since
he dropped out of sight.
Hitler Kept Confined.
These reports said Himmler was
keeping Hitler in what amounted al
most to confinement by overempha-
sizing his poor health and filling
him with fear of another attempt
on his life if he came out Of hiding
In return, Himmler was reported
to have received from the generals
permission to name several Nazi
party men as high but not top
ranking officers.
(The German TranSocean
news agency, in a dispatch ex-
clusively for foreign dissemina-
ton, said last night that Hitler
is lin the best of health" and still
in full control of the Reich, mill
tarily and politically.
(The German radio said Hitler,
who has been described as too
busy to address his own people,
had conveyed heartiest congrat-
ulations" to Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco on Frances SD
birthday
Army Chiefs Running War.
There have been several indica-
tions that army chiefs. and particu-
larly Marshal Karl Rudolf Gerd Won
Rundstedt, have been winning their
fight to run the war as they see fit
and halt party crack-doWns on high
members of the military clique.
At least a dozen high officers. in
cluding five generals. were said to
have been executed or to have COM
mitted suicide after the July 20
bomb plot against Hitler, but now
word has leaked out that Gen.
Sinzinger, commander of the Vienna
corps area. who was arrested in con-
nection with the plot, has just been
released.
A rumor reached London that
move had been made from inside
Germany through Vatican circles in
Rome to gain approval for new
form of postwar German govern
ment as part of move to ameliorate
future peace terms. The move was
said to have originated in Nazi Cath
olic ouarters-some high party
members still being members of the
Catholic Church-and would provide
for a greater place for the church
in postwar Germany.

10000 Escape Nazis

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 8-Nearly 30
900 refugees from religious, racia,
and political persecution in Nazi-
dominated Europe have escaped
through Spain in the last 18 months
Sir Herbert Emerson, director of the
36-nation Intergovernmental Com
mittee on Refugees revealed today.
In his first interview since his

Switzerland was giving asylum tt
1000 refugees, Sweden about 30,OOt
and that "for many months now
about 1000 month have got across

Sir Herbert said:
"The purpose of my visit is tc

This expression of sentiment, so
far at variance with the admins

Senator Gillette, who publicly has
opposed fourth term and has

ton, said recently he expected to
be named as an Iowa delegate to

Attempted Wreckings
OF Trains by Youths
Put al One a Day

The epidemic of attempted train
wrecks by boys under IA is reaching
an average of one a day. it was dis
closed yesterday by j. Edgar Hoover.
director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation
Some of these juvenile escapades,
Mr.. Hoover said in an interview,
have succeeded and caused enor-
nous damage and loss of life.
"At least five, sometimes seven
such reports reach me every week, p"
1.-THE FBI chief said Even though
the perpetrators of these acts are
mere boys, they may do as much
damage as Axis agents"
Mr.. Hoover attributed the wave of
attempted railroad wrecks to the
adolescent urge for thrills, He said
he believed if the surplus energies
| of these youngsters were diverted
into "other channels, along whole
some lines" many of these boys
could be turned away from de-
Ilinquency.
Home Is Basis.
The principal factor in cases of
juvenile delinquency, Mr.. Hoover
said, is the home. Wartime neces-
Isity, which has forced many mothers
into jobs, he pointed out, has ma
terially increased the problems of
officials who are trying to combat
delinquency.
THE home must be restored to
a condition that breeds respect of
the youngster for that home" Mr..
Hoover declared. "The reform must
come from the home. The school
and church can't do it without this
help"
The FBI chief praised the work
of Metropolitan Policeman Oliver
Cowan, colored, attached to the
18th precinct, for his efforts in curb
ing delinquency among the boys In
his area.
"If you are going to do work with
a virile child, who is better quail
fled than a red-blooded, properly
trained policeman" Mr.. Hoover
asked.
Cites Training Work.
The FBI director pointed out that
nearly TOO police officials already
have graduated from the National
Police Academy sponsored by the
FBI since 1t was founded in 1885.
Several hundred of these, he said,

said he intended to retire when his
present term expires in January.
The Presidents Endorsement Of
the Iowan's candidacy was in line
with steps that have been taken by
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan to
provide National Committee assist
ance for several Senators who were
marked for defeat in 1888, but who
survived the purge. Among those
who have been critical of some
Roosevelt policies, but now report
edly are receiving National Com
mittee aid are Senators Tydings of
Maryland, Clark of Missouri, Clark
of Idaho and McCarran of Nevada.
Mr.. Roosevelt's congratulatory
letter to Senator Gillette recalled
the bitter fight made by some of the
Presidents closest advisers, includ-
| ing Harry Hopkins, against Senator
Gillette's denomination in 1888. Mr..
Hopkins, a former Iowan called a

in the project for the reacon that
not enough children assembled tc

also had been lacking.
In presenting the report and dis

consensus that the activity did not
attract children in the early teens
and that large number appearing
at the playfields were under schoo
age. One councilman bluntly OBJ
served that he knew of many

to better advantage than making
