* orders to be rigorously realistic. During the period of planning for . the present war, Maj. Gen. Thomas,
chief of the economics section, outlined before the officials of the ¢ Reichsbank the essential financial and commercial conditions of warfare. These economic |findings of the German Army now must re- - ceive major attention within Germany. Maj. Gen. Thomas has laid down 8s the basic conclusion of the Army’s economics section that world trade is an essential factor « for guaranteeing national defense. He asserts that while [reserves of supplies are necessary, they tie up large sums of money. Economic isolation leads to rising costs of living and employs far more workmen at home, enforcing their withdrawal from the Army, than if the goods were purchased abroad. The economics section further has become convinced [that countries most active in international trade have the greatest economic resistance in warfare, and Maj. ; Gen. Thomas emphasized that ex- + perience has shown that technical » progress goes hand-in-hand with world trade. He also points out that only by * International trade can gold and . foreign exchange be obtained which * he emphasizes play such an im- - portant part in modern wars His final conclusion is that international trade for Germany must + be very difficult in a world divided into economic units such. as the Nazi economic theories support. This frank examination of economic influences upon victory in war, coming from the German army's specialists, indicates the serious attention which the German High . Commantl is paying to Germany's . financial and commercial limita- © tions.

Jewish New Year Opens With Sundown Tonight
Indianapolis Jews—orthodox, reformed and conservative—will go to the synagogues at sundown today to observe their religious New ¥ear, Rosh Hashanah. It is a date, deliberately set in the fall so that it" would not be associated with re-birth of naturge—as in the spring; so’ that it would be non-physical and non-material, and
strictly spiritual.

awakening of men’s minds, for repentance and for good deeds and the season extends for 10 days. The 10th day is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, the holiest of all the Jewish religious days.
Ram’s Horn Blown
Rosh Hashanah, variously spelled in an effort to approximate a sound unlike any in the English language, is celebrated for one day by the reformed Jews and for two days by the orthodox and conservatives. The date is unconnected with any specific historical event. It is announced by the blowing of the ram's horn in the synagogues. The observance has special significance this year in view of the wide-spread persecution of religious minorities in many parts of the world. Hold Midnight Service
There will be a midnight service in Beth-El Zedeck Temple with Rabbi Elias Charry and Cantor Myro Glass officiating. Other services at this temple will be at 7, 8:30, 9:15 and 92:30 a. m. and 5:30 p. m. tomorrow and Friday. Dr. Morris M. Feuerlicht will preach on “Is There Any Hope?” at services at 7:30 p. m. tonight in the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Temple, and on “Spiritual Rearmament” at 8 p. m. Friday. Rabbi Maurice Goldblatt will preach on “A Time for Sacrifice” at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow and on “Modern Repentance” at 10:30 a. m. Saturday.
Doris LaRue, Federal Government employee who tossed a wastebasket out of a hotel window and struck Betty Wilson, 19, during a Willkie celebration Monday night, was released under $500 bond today to report tomorrow to Circuit Court.

time). The address will be broadcast. In his tour of the automobile country some spectators hurled fruits, vegetables, eggs and a wastebasket at the Republican candidate's party but cheers and applause greeted him at almost every .stop. A cantaloupe landed near Mr. Willkie while he spoke at Detroit’s Cadillac Square and wastebasket thrown from a nearby building injured a spectator. Three eggs were thrown at the party at Pontiac, Mich., -and one of thei splattered Mrs. Willkie. As the Willkie campaign train slowly moved through the outskirts of Grand Rapids last night, a small pointed rock crashed through two panes of the diner—four cars from Mr. Willkie’s private car— and scratched the hand of William C. Murphy Jr., chief of the Washington Bureau of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mrs. Murphy, who was dining with him, was uninjured.
Promises Jobs for Millions
The principal speech of Mr. Willkie’s Michigan tour was at Grand Rapids where before a crowd estimated at 30,000 he charged that the New Deal had “cut the jugular vein of America” by discouraging pro-
He promised jobs for 9.600,000 jobless in the nation. “The road to prosperity is lined with jobs—and the way to get on that road is production,” he said. “There are 9,600,000 men unemployed and I intend to get them jobs—to put them back to work— to let the good black soil of America produce all that it can, and the factories manufacture all that we need, because the consuming power of the nation has not. yet been touched, and with jobs this consuming power will be released.” He said he favored social security and wanted to extend coverage of the present law. He promised to make the Federal Government solvent “so that when you get old and need your social security it will be there for you.”
Criticizes Lehman
He charged Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York with “false, malicious and subversive” innuendo in an address before the New York State Democratic convention in which - the Governor said Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and the Japanese Government would be pleased by the defeat of. President Roosevelt. Mr. Willkie said the statement tended “to destroy the unity of this country” and asked Mr, Lehman to make clear “without equivocation, that he did not intend, and does not intend, to impute to me any attitude other than that of a defender of democracy.”

slump was the usual let down after a big Presidential majority. They : claim their surveys show that President Roosevelt's strengtn in the Eleventh is as strong as ever and that his popularity will bolster up the sagging Democratic sentiment in that area. : . The Larrabee backers are depending almost entirely upon the national ticket strength for victory since Mr. Larrabee has run into some factional friction during the last four years. The incumbent is campaigning for re-election on his record as a 100 per cent New Dealer and accordingly has hitched his political fortunes to the Nov. 5 election. Mr. Robinson is campaigning as a Republican liberal in many respects and has the advantage of a solid organization behind him. He won athletic fame as a basketball star at Anderson High School and later at Wabash College. He has been active in Eleventh District politics for : for 10 years, holding several
appointive political posts. He was Republican nominee for mayor of Anderson in 1934. In the final analysis, the Eleventh District contest is expected to be decided almost entirely by the Presidential picture.
LOWELL MELLETT GIVEN NEW POSITION

In making the sbpointment yes= terday, Mr. Roosevelt said Mr. Mellett would keep his post as director of the Office of Government Reports, but the President would not confirm rumors that Mr. Mellett would be the Administration’s key press relations man in case of an acute national emergency.
