Although several past hints by Berlin that Molotov would make such a visit have failed to materialize, it was said today that an announcement might be made within a few hours.

In Rome, the Fascist spokesman, Virginio Gayda. apparently referring to the United States, said that any intervention of new allies in

‘BOMBS FALL NEAR BEER HALL
Bombers Haunt Ill Chamberlain
. LONDON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).—Nev= ille Chamberlain, whost struggle for peace was wasted, listens day and night to the drone of Adolf Hitler's bombers, going and coming from London, while lying, gravely ill, at his country house in Heckfield. :
The T7l-year-old former Prime Minister has had a serious relapse after an intestinal operation and today, after another restless night of hearing the mocking, dirgeful drone overhead, his condition was reported “unchanged.” Two sisters living in nearby Odiham visited him last night. A policeman * stood guard at the. estate 40 miles southwest of London, on the route used by German air raiders from northwest France. Friends feared that Chamber=-
‘lain’s days were numbered.
Japan, another Axis partner, also Joined ‘the chorus of criticism of the United States. The official newspaper of the Japanese Army said that “British participation in e European war and Chiang Kaishek’s wer against Japan both were framed by this fellow Roosevelt,” who had won a third term only “because he is better at sleight-of-hand than Willkie.” Rome threatened severe reprisals against British and Greek bombing of Italian bases, including a heavy R. A.'F. attack last night on the big Fascist industrial centers of Milan and Turin, in northern Italy. Britain reported bombs had damaged and started fires at the Fiat airplane motor works, the Fiat Airplane factory, and big electrical factories.
Greeks Nearer Koritza
New snow and rain storms were reported hampering military developments along the Greek-Ital-fan frontier, but reports from the Jugoslav border indicated that the Italians had failed so far to make any important progress. Slight new. gains by the Greeks
ported; with reinforced Greek columns pressing closer to the Italian t base of Koritza, in Albania. Unconfirmed reports said surrounded units of Italians in the mountainous central front had surrendered and other messages reported that an Italian ‘attack on the west coast had been repulsed by the Greeks.
Hundreds are Arrested
In Hungary, hundreds of Hungarian Nazis were rounded up as a result of yesterday’s disclosure of a plot to kidnap Regent Admiral Nicholas Horthy and establish a Nazi regime. Police said that 236 hand grenades had been confiscated and that the plot had been planned since July, led by the 5 Hungarian members of Parliament. Joseph Klima, one Nazi leader, was charged with plotting to overthrow the Gov= ernment. ! The British claimed they had bombed Munich heavily 14 minutes after the Fuehrer was scheduled to start speaking in a beer cellar. London newspapers said that the Brit ish planes had been aiming at the big railway»yards in Munich but that “somehow” sticks of bombs overshot their mark and fell around if not on the site of the Nazi celebration. .
Reuters. Makes Fun
The British news agency Reuters, sarcastically asked if the raid had forced Hitler “back into his steel train which he uses so often on his way about Germany-——perhaps they shunted it back into a tunnel.” The speech, before the Nazi old guard on the anniversary of Hitler’s first futile attempt at power in Germany, revealed that the productive capacity of Europe is being geared into a vast continental war machine by which Hitler hopes to make Germany unbeatable. Hitler's speech at Munich seemed also to have been largely aimed at the United States. He said that— regardless of American industrial output—Germany was welding Europe into a vast productive machine that would stand up against any combination of foes and would fight this war to victory without compromise In Berlin it was believed that

BOISE, Idaho, Nov, 9 (U. P.).— Jack Fallis, 24, decided to escape from the Idaho Penitentiary because the State Prison Board postponed his parole hearing until January.

county’s 247,000 votes might make
several changes in the winning list if any number of the challenged+
paper ballots are thrown out.
The releasing of the official fig-
ures also assured at least two re-
count contests in County races. All down the line, the results were close, excepting the Sheriff and Congressional races, and other suits may be
filed. Likewise, Paul E. Tegarden, Republican, defeated by 195 votes in his race to unseat County Treasurer Walter C. Boetcher, filed for a recount today. Prosecutor David M. Lewis, defeated for re-election by only 131 votes, said today he would petition Circuit Court for a recount of his contest with Sherwood Blue.
Says Error Possible
In announcing plans for a recount, Prosecutor Lewis said: “In 247,000 votes cast, there is bound to be an element of human error which may or may not be in favor of the winning candidate.” “There were enough paper ballots in which a decisive error could have occurred.” In these two contests the closest in Marion County's election history, the totals were:
PROSECUTOR
David Lewis ........ Sherwood Blue .
TREASURER
Walter Boetcher ............123,587 Paul Tegarden ..............123,392
Recount of votes will require a minimum of two weeks, officials estimate. The Canvassing Board, which has been working continuously since the polls closed Tuesday, completed the final count at 8:15 p. m. last night. Each precintt and ward count was checked carefully several times. To recount the votes would require that each voting machine be unlocked and opened. More than 500 paper ballots also will have to be recounted. Other winners in the county included Edward J. Green (R), joint State Senator; Elmon Merle Williams (R), joint State Representative; Al Feeney (D), sheriff; Dr. Roy B. Storms (R), coroner; Paul E. Brown (R), surveyor; William T. Ayres (R), county commissioner First District, and William Bosson Jr. (R), county commissioner Second District.

In no cases do these plans conflict with the political or economic integrity of any country, he added. Hull reviewed hemisphere defense policy in response to a request for comment on a press statement by Juvenal Hernandez, defense minister of Chile, who said he opposed granting air and naval bases to the United States because “the ceding of bases does not imply re but submission.” |

ABC REVOKES 10720 LICENSE
Action Follows Fatal Shooting of Youth; Sale to Minors Charged.
The State Alcoholic Beverage Commisison today revoked the liquor license of the Iozzo Tavern, 36 S. Illinois St., and stated that no new permit would be issued in “the near future,”
The Commission's action followed a hearing before the A. B. C. Wednesday at which Vincent Iozzo, license holder, was denied permission to transfer the permit to a
prospective purchaser-of the restau-|,
rant. Mr. Tozzo had been summoned by the Commission on charges of selling lquor after hours, selling to minors and allowing minors to loiter as the aftermath of the shooting of 16-year-old Virgil Disher, 249 Beville Ave., Oct. 24. Fred Iozzo, father of Vincent, is now held in jail without bond on a murder charge in connection with Disher’s death.
Liquor Sold to Minors
The Commisison, in a prepared statement, said it based its license revocation decision “on the fact that sales had been made to minors” at
the tavern. In declaring that no new permit would bé issued in the “near future” the Commissien also said that “if and when a new permit might be issued in that location, some drastic physical changes will be required in the interior and vision from the street. Dancing, also, probably will not be permitted.” The Commission's statement also said: “It was also pointed out that the
place had become a public nuisance
and a gathering place for minors and that fights and disturbances had been quite common there.
ABC Cites Its Authority
“The Commission also points out that some public criticism had been made that the restaurant had not been immediately closed following a previous reported fight and murder there. The Commission under the law has no authority to close a place in any instance and all that can be done is to revoke the alcohalit beverage license.” Vincent Iozzo can continue to operate the establishment as a restaurant if he chooses, the Commission pointed out, but he cannot sell liquor. The law further prohibits Mr. Iozzo from making application for a new license for one year.
U.S. TO SEND CONSUL TO COAST OF AFRICA
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— The State Department today announced its intention to establish another consular “listening post” on the west coast of Africa. The new post will be at Freetown, Sierra Leone, British West Africa, where the African continent is closest by air to South America. The United States established a consulate recently at Dakar.

of the fire were not given, but it was feared that she had encountered a submarine or the German pocket battleship which has been reported at large along Atlantic shipping routes. Wartime censorship and- ships’ rules against sending any but distress messages while in dangerous waters, obscured the situation in the Atlantic, but frequent distress calls heard in New York for the past week and Germany's reports that her air and naval forces have devastated two British convoys, indicated that a large scale sea war was in progress.
Deny Destroyers Sunk
The Newport, R. 1, Daily News said it had “unofficial word” from abroad that six of the over-age United States destroyers traded to Great Britain for naval and air bases, already had been sunk in action; that two of them were lost while convoying the huge Canadian liner Empress of Britain, which the British Admiralty admitted was
unk. Authoritative London sources said that the reports were “a complete fabrication, without one atom of truth in them.”
Claims More Victims
Today's. German high command communique reported sustained dive-bomber attacks on British Sorivoys and single ships off the British coast and claimed that six merchant ships had “certainly” been sunk and that two more “possibly” had been sent down. Two of the sinkings were said to have been west of Ireland near where the Empress of Japan was reported to be. Berlin also claimed that a direct hit from a dive-bomber had set a 10,000-ton British cruiser afire, that it was “reckoned as lost” and that another cruiser had been damaged The sinking of the City of Rayville, which was built in 1920, was announced both by the Australian Admiralty and the American Consul at Melbourne. ment said that the crew, under command of Capt. Arthur T. Cronin, responded calmly to the emergency. The only casualty was the third engineer; Mac B. Bryan of Randelman, N. C.
‘Like Hitting Brick Wall’
The other 37 crew members were rescued by Australian naval and fishing boats, guided by the flames which enveloped the ship. ‘They lowered life-boats without panic into a choppy sea but were taken aboard other ships befofe their own vessel went down, standing on her nose, an hour after the explosion, which tore a huge hole forward. Survivors said the explosion was “like hitting a brick wall.” They brought ashore with them two pieces of metal that had been blown into a life boat. Capt. Cronin, who had commanded the Rayville for 12 years, said the metal did not come from the ship. The survivors lost all their belongings and most came ashore wearing only underclothes. The Australian announcement did not name the British ship reported sunk, but it said one man of the 66-man crew was lost and that the survivors had landed at a fishing village. The ship carried no passengers. ;
ALIMONY REDUCED FOR ‘PARKYAKARKUS'
BOSTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.) —Probate Court today granted to Harry Einstein of Beverly Hills, Cal, known to radi olisteners as “Nick Parkyakarkus,” a reduction of $1100 yearly in the amount paid his former wife, Mrs. Lillian Heidel of New York City, for support of their son Charles, 14. Einstein based his plea for reduction on a claim that the war had made it difficult for “dialecticians” to obtain work and that he was “out of employment.” Judge Frederick T. Dillon reduced the amount to $1500 yearly from the $2600 “Parkyakarkas” was ordered to pay in 1937, eight years after tie divorce. Evidence showed that Einstein earned $64,000 in. 1939 and between $50,000 and $75,000 in 1937. Judge Dillon ordered Einstein to pay $300 fee presented by Mrs. Seidel’s lawyer. =

Today's War Moves

vised no sure way to transport them to the Middle East and North Africa to strike at the British Empire. Hitler's guns and explosives are bottled in the continent of Europe and month after month he can find no way of using them. In the face of these conditions, Hitler's claim to control future events through the invincibility of his military power, cannot be sustained by impartial judgment. Indeed, the only continuous invincibility of action in the war thus far is the power of the British fleet in its rigorous maintenance of the Atlantic and Mediterranean blockades. The German air blitzs krieg has shown no invincibility nor has the striking power of the German army, whose offensive campaign has ended on the continental shores of the English Channel. Germany has an overplus of war materials which goes into unused piles, month after month because the German High Command has not devised ways of using them. The one vital part of any great power’s war machine which Germany does not have in reserve is a battle fleet. That fact was not mentioned to Hitler's beer hall audience.
Hitler's insistence that Germany
can surpass American and British airplane production raises the question whether there is a level of air strength beyond which it is needless to go. Has the present course of thé European war suggested that more planes can be manufactured than tactical requirements demand? Germany has been credited with having a total of nearly 25,000 planes. Yet, at the height of the air offensive against Great Britain, the maximum number of German planes in use in any one day probably was not more than one to two thousand. Another two to three thousand planes probably has been sufficient for Germany te make good the losses incurred by the attacks in Great Britain. With possibly 20,000 planes more in reserve, Germany has not intensified her bombing raids. On the contrary, instead of continuing mass airplane attacks, the Germans have reverted to small squadron assaults and to individual plane bombings. Vast numbers of planes darkening the skies ‘seem not as essential as the skill of the aviators. It is here that Germany has a serious defects, which, however, will not show Hn Hitler's gramaphone records.
