Boston Bank Hits Labor
 Cautions General
 Motors on Demonds

Boston, Nov. 30-CUP) The First National Bank of Boston said today that if the General Motors Corp. accedes to the current CIO demands and they become a pattern for other large industries management will have surrendered to a labor dicta- torship.
 The bank said in today's New England news letter that any arbi- trary advance in wages with no con- sideration for current productivity is "unsound in principle since it raises industry's break-even point to such high level that a slight recession would caur profits to dis appear"
 Under such conditions" the bank said, flew corporations would be able to weather a storm. The aver age return on capital invested in all manufacturing enterprise in this country for the past two decades has been only about three per cent, and this is small compensation for the risks involved" s.
 Referring to demands of the United Automobile Workers (CIO) for 30 per cent wage increase and its insistence that General Motors books be opened to show its ability to pay higher wages, the bank said this is practically equivalent to re- qIesting the abdication of manage ment,"

Vigil Kept On Stream

Pittsburgh, Nov. 30 - (UP) - Morgan Lewis, 73, has moved to a hut on the banks of the Mononga- hela river, keeping a 24-hour vigil while grapple crews attempt to find the body of his grandson, one of five boys drowned Arnistice Day when their skiff upset.
 He is going to stay there until the body of Charles Lewis, Jr., 13, son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Lewis, of West Elizabeth, Pa, is found. He says.
 "Charles was born in my home and ever since he was three months old, I practically raised him." he said. we stuck together when he was living and I don't suppose I'll be able to rest until we find him."
 The retired railroad worker and the boy used to take long walks along the river banks when Lewis would talk about his railroad days. He also knew lot about the river where Charles might get into trouble and where it was safe for him to swim.
 Even though Lewis two-room bungalow is only few blocks from the river, leaving the scene of the tragedy was too much for him-even at night. His hut was built with materials donated by lumber com pany and lighted with electricity furnished free by a power company. He has several searchlights mount ed on the roof to illuminate the river at night-just in case the body is found.

YugosLaus
 Quit King

London, Nov. 3o- (UP) Crowds in Belgrade celebrated the creation of the .Yugoslav Republic with cannonading and fireworks today while in London Peter Karageorge- witch, who until yesterday was their king, denounced his dismissal as a high-handed act of tyranny.
 Queen Mother Marie of Yugo- slavia, mother of the 2-year-old ex- monarch, also angrily condemned the action of Marshal Josep Broz- Tito's government ending the mon- archy. She like her son, promised to fight in until the Yugoslav peo- pie have what she called fair chance to display their true senti- ments.
 Peter was making a bid for Brit ish and American support as he has done for months while it be- came steadily more obvious that his throne was tottering. In a state ment he said that the big allies had promised free elections for the de- feated Balkan countries. Yet, he said, in victorious Jugoslavia-one of the United NationS-democracy has collapsed under the Tito regime
 He foresaw an enusuing catas- trophe which would engulf many other countries than of Yugoslavia.
 There was nothing to indicate, however, that Britain and the Unit ed States were going to take any steps to get Peter his throne again. British officials saw the change as a logical outcome of the recent Yugoslav elections in which Tito's National Front won an unopposed victory.

Child Dies |M Assault

Golden, Colo, Nov. ~S0-(UP)- The father and Step-mother of Q three-year-old child who died as the result of what police described as 8 brutal and horrible" beating were held for investigation today after the woman admitted she had struck her Step-Son.
 Police quoted Mrs. Viola Elliott 27, wife of Leslie Elliot, an employe of the U. s. Mint at Denver, as saying that she had struck three- year-old Robert Elliot shortly before his death Tuesday morning, and that she had not called for doctor.
 Earlier she said the baby had fallen out of his crib.
 Sheriff George Koch said an au- topsy had revealed that the child died from hemorrhages, brain lac- erations, extreme shock and multi- pie confusion of head, arms, legs and torso.
 Jimmie Laine, 8-year-old son of Mrs. Elliot by a former husband. told police this his mother knocked the baby from his carriage and then struck and kicked him.
 A trail of blood spots indicated the baby had tried to crawl across the room to bed after the beat ing, Koch said.
 Mrs. Elliot went into the kitchen and drank cup of coffee after the beating, according to Jimmie'S testt- mony, and then called her husband

AMG FIoys French Role In Germany
 Deputy Governor
 Makes October
 Report to U. 5.

Berlin, Nov. 30-(UP)-The Amer ican Military government charged bluntly today that Frances uncom- promising attitude toward Germany and the other occupation powers is blocking Allied efforts to bring about economic recovery in the defeated nation.
 It. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, deputy American military governor, made the charge in his official report to Washington for October.
 He painted dismal picture of conditions in Germany and fore- cast widespread hardships, unem- ployment and hunger for the Ger man people this winter.
 Much of the economic paralysis now gripping Germany, he declared, traces directly to the French refusal to join with the other occupation powers in treating Germany as a single economic unit.
 Production Very Low
 Clay said the average level of Ger man industrial production in Octo- Der was only five to seven per cent of capacity-far below the minimum subsistence level-and that inter- zonal restrictions on travel, trade and communications were making business revival difficult.
 He warned that German com- merce must be permitted to flow freely from zone to zone in accord ance with the Potsdam agreement before real progress toward restor- ing trade, industry and agriculture can be made.

Bulletin

Nuremberg, Nov. 30.-CUP)- Rudolf Hess testified from the War Crimes witness stand to- day that his pretense of am- nesia and insanity was a hoax and that he was quite compe- tent and ready to go ahead with his own trial.
 Despite Hess melodramatic assertion from the stand that his purported loss of memory was faked, the international tri- bunal withheld an immediate ruling on his mental condition.
 His counsel, preceding Hess in hearing for which the courtroom was cleared of the other Nazi defendants, pleased that his clients claim to mental fitness was a part of the quirkS of the mind that made him ir- responsible.
 After sitting through a tedi- ous two and a half hours of the hearing on his case, Hess went to the stand to proclaim his clarity of mind and charge that the tribunal was mot competent" to conduct the War Grimes trials.
 The testimony provided sen- sational climax to Hess claims

Blaze, Attacker Of Fala,
 Destroyed by Rooseuelts

Rhinebeck, N. Y, Nov. 3O.- (UP)-Blaze, the 130-pound English bull mastiff owned by Elliott Roosevelt, was destroyed Sunday for attacking Fala, spunky but underweight scottie pet of the late President Roose- welt.
 Blaze was destroyed at the re- quest of the late Presidents son to prevent future attacks.
 Dr. Thomas Sheldon, veter- marian who treated Fala on Saturday, destroyed the mas tiff. He severed the head and sent it to the New York De- partment of Health for exam inat,on for possible rabies in- lection.
 Blaze, a black-nosed lop- cared dog, has been a source of trouble for the Rooseyelts since entering the United States from England last January.
 A gift from the then Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt to his actres- wife, Faye Emerson, the dog was shipped by Army trans port plane. When the plane

G-2 ForeSoW Sneak Attack Upon HoWoii
 Specific Warming
 Discounted; Source Was Unimpressive

Washington, Nov. 30 - (UP) - U. s. military Intelligence always considered the possibility of Jap- anese sneak attack on Hawaii, but discounted specific warning to that effect in January, 1941, because it was not impressed by its source.
 Maj Gen. Sherman Miles, former chief of Army intelligence, made this disclosure today to the Congress sional committee Investigating the Pearl Harbor disaster of Dec. T, 1941.
 The warning relayed to the State department from Tokyo by U. S. Ambassador Joseph c. Grew, came from the Peruvian minister to Japan. The minister told Grew he had heard rumors of a>possible sur- prise blow against Pearl Harbor.
 Attack Considered
 Miles, whose testimony dealt with Japanese messages intercepted by the Army and Navy before Pearl Harbor, told the committee that:
 "A surprise attack on Hawaii with little or no warning was always under consideration"
 But intelligence officers discount ed the Peruvian minister's tip, Miles said, because they doubted that any Japanese source that knew what 1t was talking about would let such in- formation leak to 8 South American diplomat.
 The former G-2 chief said that flor a great many years we had known that Jap attack on Pearl Harbor was an inherent possibility in any war with Japan"
 "The great fortress of Oahu was being built," he said, solely for de- fense against one enemy-Japan. That's why we built the fortress"
 But as for any pre-Pearl Harbor warning, Miles continued, i've had no specific information whatever that the attack would fall on Ha- vail"
 He emphasized that the Peruvian minister's tip was discounted "as eeing 8 bona fide report from a Japanese source"
 T did not" Miles said, discount (Continued on Page ID
