The weak war efforts of the Italians have forced the Fuehrer to send Jlarge numbers of planes to operate in the Mediterranean, replacing the heavy losses of Mussolini's aviators.

Outline New Rules

A draft of new orders being prepared by the Municipal Court judges also criticizes certain police practices. Among the regulations included in the draft would be one barring police from hauling speeders to headquarters in a patrol wamong, another exempting traffic offenders fro mbeing photographed and fingerprinted, and «a third giving prisoners the right to make as

how they will be used, or, indeed, whether they will be put into service at all; but they must be held in constant readiness for possible action. Thirdly, Russia's uneasiness over the Fuehrer’s ambitions in southeastern Europe has necessitated strengthening the German air forces near the Russian borders. Hitler's principal means of ensuring Russian inaction is by scarcely veiled military preparedness to invade Slav territory if Stalin does not behave. In addition to these present dispositions of much of Germany's airplane power far away from bases opposite Great Britain, reports are circulating that Japan is preparing to ask Hitler to divert 1500 aviators! from Europe to the Par East. Any | such transfer of skilled German | fighters from Europe to the Orient! would certainly weaken the Fuehrer's striking power against Britain. Already the extension of active | and potential war areas in the Balkans, the Mediterranean and along the Russian frontier must have compelled the Germans to limit their

Director William S. Knudsen and high Army and Navy officials were today’s witnesses.

Aim at British Shipyards

The British said the attack on Hamburg was the biggest of the war and it seemed from reports to {have been as heavy as many of the big Nazi attacks on British cities. The R. A. F. presumably was throwing more of its heavy longrange planes into the fight. Bremen and Emden also were aftacked, oil storage plants were bombed at Rotterdam, two Netherlands airdromes were bombed, a coastal command plane torpedoed a | German supply ship in the North] Sea and other supply ships were bombed and machine gunned, the British said.
