TANK TRAP—First picture received in the United States of the concrete tank traps that stretch
in endless rows along the Siegfried Line of defenses on the German Western Front. Lines have been
named "Limes," from the Roman word meaning wall. Steep inclines and deep camouflaged ditches
surround them. Painted gray-green, they are termed tank gravestones.

open peace negotiations, the un-

back suffered by the progressives

part, to the division in the labor
movement."
The ILGWU pledged itself in
the future "to support every gen-
uine effort, whether AFL or CIO,
in their organization activities for
the improvement of the conditions
of the workers, and in every ef-
fort to achieve pnace in the labor
movement."

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 12
(UP)—Men are making steel
again in northern Ohio's "Little
Huhr," and today the red smoke
from a thousand mill stacks is
forming a silver lining in what
many believe is a national recov-
ery picture.
The steel production rate in
this city "where coal and ore
meet"—has reached 72 per cent
of capacity, the highest in more
than a year, the rate at Youngs-
town, the industrial capital of the
bustling Mahoning valley, has rush-
ed up steadily to the 61 per cent
mark, and is expected to go even
higher.
Production increases in turn
have resulted in greater employ-
ment. The National Labor Re-
lations Board ruling ordering re-
hiring of 5,000 Republic steel cor-
poration workers who were in the
CIO strike against "little steel," in
1937 alone has boosted employ-
ment in both Ohio's steel valleys
—the Cuyahoga here and the Ma-
honing at Youngstown.

down play raised much criticism,
50 per cent of local fans believing
it was an unsportsmanlike play,

was good football . . . The locals
should have been suspicious when
none of the Leopards came back
to Purcell, who feigned illness, but
instead they were caught flat-

BERLIN, Nov. 12 (UP)— A
Nazi decree today forbade Jews to
attend theatres, concerts, lectures,
motion picture shows, dance reci-
tals and museums.
It was one of a series of de-
crees designed to provide a "final
solution" of the Jewish problem
as the result of the fatal shooting
of a German embassy secretary at
Paris by a 17-year-old Jew.
Dr. Paul Goebbels, minister of
propaganda, issued the ban as head
of the Reich culture chamber.
His decree prescribed that vio-
lators of the ban, either Jews or
proprietors who admitted them,
should be subject to heavy fines.
Goebbels said that Jews would
have ample opportunity to develop
a cultural life of their own within
their own community and there-
fore they were barred from Ger-
man exhibitions of ttus sort speci-
fied.
Reopenings Unlikely
A foreign office source said that
it was most unlikely that Jewish
stores wrecked in an anti-Jewish
outbreak Thursday would be re-
opened pending establishment of
ghettos or segregated areas for
Jews.
"If they reopened we would
have to send two or three police-
men to guard each one and we

merce has started a vast program vances to Eddie and his spouse
to make the Indianapolis airport
the center of aviation experimen-
tation.
More than $1,000,000, advan-
ced by the federal government
and the city of Indianapolis, will
be used to build runways from
5,000 to 6,000 feet long— the
longest in the country; to con-
struct a blind landing system that
will be the only type of its kind
in the country, and to experiment
with non-glaring lighting systems.
Already several of the long run
ways have been completed by WP
A workers who are laboring in 3
eight hour shifts to complete all
extensions before winter arrives.
Probably the major test to b'e
made here will be the blind land-
ing system.
To "Co-Ordinate Systems
The air bureau will spend $200,
000 to install an experiment sta-
tion that will use the best parts
of blind flying systems and will
be the only one of its type in the
country.
When the 25 experimenters—
radio operators who will lye sent
here by the air bureau when the
station is ready—perfect a blind
landing system, it will be installed
at all major airports throughout
the country.
Tests are underway today at
the municipal airport in striving to
eliminate static in the ultra-high
frequency telephone communica-
tion between airport and pilot,
and in non-glaring lighting.
