WEEK IN GLINIC
No Statement Ever Issued On What Is Keeping Him Confined.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 24 (U. P), —Cordell Hull, who in a few months will complete 12 consecutive years as secretary of state, today begins the sixth week of lis confinement in the naval hospital cen-
f.lter at nearby Bethesda, Md.
It is the first time that Hull, 73, has been in a hospital during his tenure in office, Likewise, it is the Jongest period that he has been away from his desk. He has been away from his office for 53 days—ever since his last birthday on Oct. 2. : virtually no information about Hull's condition has been made public. Reports have consisted mainly of statements that he is getting along very well. But there never has been any statement on what was keeping Hull in the hospital. Old Throat Aliment
When he remadined at his Ward-man-Park hotel apartment early in October, he was said to be suffering from an old throat ailment—the same one that had forced him to give up smoking years ago. When’ he entered the hospital on Oct. 20, Acting Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius Jr. indicated that his chief had recovered, He told a press conference that day that Hull had been resting at home but that it had been decided to have him enter naval hospital for a check-up before he returned to the office. On Oct. 27, Stettinius reported that Hull's examinations disclosed two infected teeth and that they had been extracted; that Hull was continuing his examination and making good progress. On Oct. 30, Stettinius made his last reference
were continuing. “Doing Very Well”
Since then his remarks have been copfined to stateffients that Hull is doing very well and, in answer to questions, replies that there is no indication when the secretary will leave the hospital. While Hull was at his apart ment, he received correspondence and reports from his office several times a day. Since going to the hospital, however, that procedure has stopped and, it was understood, even his secretary has not seen him. His callers have been limited to Mrs. Hull, the President, Stet tinius and a few intimate friends. During Hull's absence, and especially after the election, there was a rash of rumors that he had resigned or was going to resign. None has been confirmed and some of his closest associates at the state department say that so far as they know it is his intention to return to complete the work on the world security organization plans.

REICH DENIES PEACE FEELERS
Says Vatican City Reports Unfounded, Reaffirms Nazi Solidarity.
LONDON, Nov. 4 (U, P.).—The German foreign-office has found it necessary to issue a formal denial of reports that Nazi diplomats in Vatican City have been putting out peace feelers to the allies, press dispatches from the continent said today. An exchange telegraph dispatch from Zurich reported the Berlin foreign office had issued a statement branding the reports as completely unfounded and reaffirming
the official Nazi propaganda thesis that Germany's present situation is satisfactory.
Not Ready for ‘Kil
At the same time, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels assured the German people in his official organ, Das Reich, that Germany
now has the means to “master effec-

‘tively even the critical turning points of the war.” “It is sheer stupidity if the enemy believes on occasions that we are
ready for the final kill,” Goebbels
boasted. “Time and time again the enemy has had to pay very dearly whenever he tries to finish us off, on whatever front he tries.” Goebbels repeated the familiar theme that Germany's “political” and 'moral strength would over come the allies’ material superiority. He dcknowledged, however, that the German people no longer are “enjoying” the war, and took pains to repudiate the oft-repeated Nazi “superman” philosophy.” Repudiates ‘Superiority’ “We do not feel superior to other people,” Goebbels wrote. “We only establish the fact that almost the whole world has fallen upon us, and still it does not succeed in getting us down. “Out of this we draw the econclusion’ that the German people is of a special kind, because we are attacked by so many, but even more because they are not able to overwhelm us, in spite of all the effort they make.” Meanwhile, the latest report circulating in Madrid on Adolf Hitler said the fuehrer is gravely ill at Berchtesgaden and that his eérstwhile axis partner, Benito Musso-
lini, has hastened to his hadciga
