KEEP ON WATCH | FOR ‘HAND- TIED’ WINTER DRIVER
‘Many Just Quit Signaling When Cold Comes, Stoops Warns. There's no closed season on mo-
torists who don’t use proper hand signals in traffic, Todd Stoops, sec-
retary-manager of the Hoosier Mo-|§
tor Club, warned today. “At the first indication of cold weather many motorists shut all windows, turn on the car heater and dispense with hand signals until the advent of spring,” he said. “This results in many inexcusable accidents.” Hand signals given inside the car with windows closed are not legal, he pointed out. Another cold weather warning issued by Mr.
garages when starting motors. “Gas is present in lethal quantities in the exhaust fumes of every automobile,” he said. “The greatest danger from gas results from the careless practice of starting cars on cold mornings with the doors and windows closed. The average garage has no ventilation system to carry off exhaust fumes and unless doors or windows are open, the
fumes will fill the garage by the|
time the engine is warmed up.”

Passport Mystery Woman May Never Again See Own Child in America.
MOSCOW, Nov. 17 (U. P.) —Mrs. Ruth Marie Rubens has become “citizeness Ruth Friederichovna Boerger of the Soviet Union,” and |C may never be heard of again in the United States where her status stirred up a spectacular passport fraud and espionage case a year ago. ; She has renounced her American citizenship to become a Russian citizen and has settled in a Ukrainian City. Te She probably never again will see her 9-year-old daughter or her mother and stepfather, who live in Miami, Fla. Soviet citizens rarely

Swiss Story Echoes Allied
By UNITED PRESS When Adolf Hitler escaped the Munich bombing by a hairline margin, the first reaction of the Mllies was “too bad.” General confidence of victory has been based as much on the hope that Hitlerism will crack yp from within as on military might. Many British officials now are inclined to argue that the assassination of Herr Hitler would make him a national martyr and hero, with a stronger Svengalian hold on the German masses in death than in life. The man who pulled post-war Germany up by its bootstraps, restored its pride and conquered old and new lands for the Reich would, it was reasoned, become a symbol. He would weld the people behind the heirs whom he has designated to carry on the Nazi program, and delay the eventual crack-up which the British and French believe to be inevitable.
Report Generals Restless
The trend of Allied thinking is reflected in a dispatch from Zurich, Switzerland, to the Paris Journal. It may safely be classed as propaganda, with a dubious basis of fact, but it shows at least what they are hoping, and believe may happen. The dispatch suggests that the German generals, who have strung along with Herr Hitler because he was getting places, and could be curbed by the army if he got out of hand, are growing restless.
Hope for New Nazi Regime
Le Journal's correspondent reports that the generals believe naziism has reached the end of its tether and should be replaced by a reconstruction regime which the Allies
would consent to meet at the conference table.
Thyssen in Retirement
The new regime, this ingenious theory goes on, would consent to restore Poland and the Bohemian, Moravian and Slovakian regions of Czechoslovakia, keeping only the Sudetenland. Austria would decdie its fate by a vote. Speculation also has been aroused in Paris when it was disclosed that Fritz Thyssen, powerful German industrialist, is in retirement. at a hotel in Locarno. For some time, it has been rumored. that Herr Thyssen split with the ‘Nazi regime and went abroad when this war started. Herr Thyssen is head of the Ruhr steel combine, the key man of German industry and immensely wealthy. He is the reactionary who, seeking to end the too-democratic post-war Repubiic, is credited with supplying the funds which helped the Nazi regime to power. Then he found he had caught a tartar. The extent of Herr Thyssen’s present influence is not known, but there is no law against the French wondering if he will play an important part if a new deal is sought
by the German generals.
NOSE IS FRACTURED, BUT NOT FRIENDSHIP
LOWELL, Mass., Noy. 17 (U. PJ). —It takes more than a broken nose and two black eyes to shake the love of Lena Barrette. When Peter Perrino was brought to court for assaulting her, she asked that prosecution be dropped as he had been her beau for nine years and their friendship was unbroken, The court refused her request and fined Perrino $100.

I ondon People Drop War Courtesy, Start Slugging’ in Press and Radio
LONDON, Nov. 17 (U. P.).—The European War is losing the “gentlemanly touch” on the home front. After two months of sparring and “hush hush” diplomatic maneuvering, there are definite signs that British radio, newspaper and official comment—as illustrated by ‘the latest speech of First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill—will henceforth abandon the “old school tie” spirit and get tough about the conflict. Cartoons of’ Adolf Hitler, music hall songs and even the dignified London Times’ editorials are 1in-
"lclined to be rude in their comment
on the Nazis nowadays. And only the intervention of the censor kept George Bernard Shaw from taking a theatrical punch at the Fuehrer in his play “Geneva.” . The Times, for instance, recently referred to Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, who used to be entertained by newspapers editors at week-end parties, as “a comparatively genial. ruffiian.” When Herr von Ribbentrop was appointed Ambassador to the Court of St. James, the Times said he would be “welcomed here both as a man whom many of us have come to know and respect. Now he is referred to in the same columns as “a traveling wine-mer-chant.” - Fierce cartoons of Herr Hitler, Herr Goering and other Nazi leaders are being printed, although most are reproductions from continental newspapers. One showed Herr Hitler, “The Hater Hating.” His nose was swolen to thrice its normal size and looked as if he were a lifelong drunkard. His eyes were the size of saucers.

Hater II, Hating Too.” If anvirihE, Field Marshal Goering looks the
tougher and Herr Hitler the more worried and bewildered. Official comment on Nazi speeches is now often besprinkled with expressions like “lying,” mendacious,” “misleading,” and “ridiculous.” Even the dulcet, toned BBC, over whose ether waves the accents of public schoolboys are broadcast throughout Eurqpe and the Empire reassuring all and sundry that Britain is “playing up, and playing the game” has become infected by the deterioration in good manners. Now BBS refers to “Hitler,” “Goering,” “Ribbentrop” a n d “Goebbels” without prefix. For a number of weeks it used to be “Herr Hitler,” “Field Marshal Goering,” “Herr von Ribbentrop” ‘and “Dr. Goebbels.” Messrs. Stalin and Molotov, however, never did make the title grade for more than a few broadcasts, when the announcer forgot himself. M. Molotov in one broadcast was referred to as Monsieur Molotov. Radio and music hall comedians show the greatest disrespect for the head of the German state, now that the ban on making dirty cracks at foreign statesmen has been lifted.
The most popular comedian of the|'
day, Arthur: Askey, known as “BigHearted Arthur,” has changed the words of the popular song “Run, Rabbit, Run” to “Run, Adolf, Run” and the rest of the words correspondingly. He gets thunderous applause. In public houses and along the sidewalks, vendors are doing a roaring trade with sheets of paper on] which there are drawings of several pigs. When the sheet is folded, it makes up the face of Herr Hitler. But there is one person who has not forgotten the old school tie and

the tradition that made the playits fields of Eton the site on which the Battle of Waterloo was won. That is' the mysterious person known .as the Lord Chamberlain, who censors the theater. He has refused permission to a changing of one of the principal characters in Bernard Shaws play “Geneva,” which is about dictators.
