Hitler Once Feared
Stain S Overthrow,
Documents Reveal
By the Associated Press

LONDON. Aug. 23.-At the start
of the war, Adolf Hitler. regarded
the military capabilities of his
enemies with scorn, it was indicated
in German documents published to-
night by the British Admiralty.
Also he worried over the pos
sibility that Joseph Stain might be
overthrown, and from the beginning
he coldly calculated the necessity of
occupying the Low Countries and
Norway.
Further, the documents showed
that ne realized Germany was weak
at sea-started the war with only
40 submarines fit for services in
the Atlantic. But he didn't think
much of the British navy, either,
and decided that the historical
moment for the great test of power
had arrived and that he could not
wait to build up German sea power.
Tried to Not Offend Russia.
The documents, record of con-
ferences held by Hitler with his
top flight commanders and advisers,
were found among German archives
seized by British and American in
telligence officers at Tambach. The
record, one of a series of Admiralty
publications, covers the period from
September I, 1889, to the end of
the year.
Politically, Hitler moved eau,
tiously at first so as not to offend
Russia, with which he had nom
aggression pact and a trade treaty.
The documents reveal that he was
negotiating to get bases from the
Russians in the Murmansk region,
and that his naval commanders were
thinking about buying Russian sub
marines.
Hitler disapproved that sugges-
ton, the record quoting him as say
ing that Russian ships are of poor
quality"

He regarded Mussolini as useful
and reliable, but regretted that ap-4

Hitler, according to the records, be-

opposed to siding with Germany,
and he believed that in the event
of Mussolini's death Germany would
have to reckon with an anti-Ger-
man Italy.
Russia. which Hitler discounted
as a fighting power, nevertheless

into the fire, he later identi-
fled Coleman as the stranger.
Responsibility for the series
of tragedies which resulted in
five deaths and the arrest of
Hickman was laid directly to
restrictive covenants, which
sharpen the housing pinch to
the crisis point for Chicago's
$4,000 Negroes.
Because restrictive covenants
confined Hickman's search for
a home to the small, jam
packed Negro areas, he was
forced to take the rat-ridden
one-room flat, which had no
water, gas, or electricity. Rent
of $50 a month was charged
for the room, which measured
IA feet square.

James w. Hickman must fight
for his life a second time.
That was decided this week
when a jury in Criminal Court
informed Judge Rudolph F.
Desert that they had been un-
able to agree on a verdict.
Hickman was charged with
the murder of his former land
lord, David Coleman, whom he
held responsible for the fire in
which his four smallest chill

JUDGE Desert, after the jury

orthodox thought and express

"to divert attention from such
pressing home-front problems
as runaway prices, inadequate
