The Italians belong to secret organizations. The Croatlans have formed units which work as a type trade union. The strength of these organizations is proved by the large strikes which occasionally have caused German authorities difficulty because, as in Austria, the workers established contact with the active opposition to the Nazi movement. 1,500 Long Tons Bombs Dropped On City, 44 Bombers Lost LONDON, Oct. 23-(P) A great fleet of British four-engined bombers penetrated a heavy screen of fighters and murky weather last night and dropped 1,500 long tons of bombs in an effective attack on the German armament city of Kassel, losing 44 bombers on the mission.

A subsidiary force hit Frankfurt and the small but swift ply-wood Mosquito bombers raided the Cologne area. The RAF's loss on the Kassel raid raised the total of the month to 163 in nine major operations, but the air ministry described the blow as highly effective. Returning crews brought back photographs showing huge fires they left burning under a pall of smoke filling the skies for a height of more than three miles. FIGHTER FORCE HEAVY The Nazis threw up an unusually heavy fighter force to check this latest phase of an air bombardment running through both day and night, but the British were out in what was described as "very great strength" and the tonnage equalled or exceeded 'the 1,500 long tons dropped the last time the city was hit, on October 3. The 44 downed planes represented the heaviest loss to the British bomber command since the August 31 raid on Berlin, when 47 aircraft were missing, but the number was Hundreds Attending Event Being Held At Easley High School EASLEY, Oct.

II. I I Ixa I Hitler Herrenvolk Fear Day When Slaves May Turn Upon Them 1 BV ARVID FREDBORG STOCKHOLM, Oct, 23 (-Disgruntled foreign workers secretly are arming, even with the aid of German soldiers, to form such a threat to the German home front that given the proper moment they Could Induce the total collapse and surrender of Germany. Twelve million Foreign workers now are watched closely, partly by police troops of the highest efficiency and partly by elderly reservists. HAVE THEIR CHANCE Allied air bombings, however, are nlvlng them their chance. The continually growing disorganization of the whole life of German society Is putting them In a position where they could slip their controls and 4.1...

Bombingsf16 are sDreadine this force even thin tier because they are being assigned new tasks. For every soldier in the Army or air force there are at least three workers in industry. Supposing the strenth of the armed forces is approximately 11,000,000 men this would mean at least 33,000,000 persons are working in war plants.

A prreat part of them are women. But at least 30 per cent of them are foreigners. There are factories r'here more than 90 per cent of the staff is foreign. There are towns nnd villages where foreigners form sn absolute majority of the male population. If these foreigners had been well-treated the danger would not be so treat.

But many of them, taken by force, put into camps behind barbed wire and guarded by machineguns, a minimum of food and a maximum of brutality, are keenly awaiting the moment to rise against their Nazi oppressors. FERTILE RED FIELD Communist propaganda has a food opportunity among these "orkcrs. A great many revolutionary organizations have been created most parts of Germany. Not all it these are communlsitic tn the Political sense of the word, but nearly all are directed not only gainst the Nazis but also against the Germans generally. Many foreign workers want to ivengc personal injuries.

They are fhinklng of taking revenge by damaging German property. In other ascs anarchistic tendencies have 'hen from despair and hunger. If the guards at tne camps were near the normal number the for-rlgn workers would never have a rhance. But as the situation exists ne must count with the fact that 'hey can get the upper hand one day In the centers of Germany. The foreigners have obtained arms to some extent.

In most cases the weapons were' stolen from supply depots. In other cases they were purchased from German soldiers exchange for food and tobacco DR. E. A. BRANY0II DR.

Spectacular Operation Is Reported By Navy No One Is Lost By SANDOR S. KLEIN WASHINGTON, Oct. About 160 survivors of the valiant cruiser Helena, which sank or helped sink or damage 16 Japanese warships before it finally was sent to the bottom, now are ready to fight again as a result of a daring rescue from enemy-held territory in the South Pacific, the Navy re vealed tonignt. The rest of the nearly 1,000 survivors were rescued from the oil- covered waters of Kula gulf after the Helena was sunk last July 7, when Japanese shells finally sent her to the bottom at the close of a brilliant American victory which saw nine enemy warships turned into flame-swept wrecks and five others badlv battered. MEN ARE RESCUED The 160-odd men, however, made their way to Vella Lavella island, then In Japanese hands, where they split up into two groups.

When American commanders learned that they were on the island, a bold rescue operation was ordered executed. Eight destroyers were assigned to cover two destroyer-transports the Dent and waters whose job it was to get inshore as close as possible and take off the survivors in small boats. A rendezvous was estab lished shortly after midnight and the first group was removed safely. Marines, covering tne operation, stood guard against possible Jap anese patrols. Tnen tne Dent and Waters pro ceeded through moonlit waters to another point where the second group was rescued.

A Japanese plane flew directly overhead, but the ships withheld fire and were not detected. En route back to Guadalcanal, the convoy was spotted by enemy reconnaissance planes which dropped bombs but failed io cause any damage. AT PEARL HARBOR The Helena and her heroic crew had achieved an enviable record. She first tasted enemy fire on the very day the United States was catapulted 1. io war on December 7, 1941.

She was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese struck and, although hit, her anti-aircraft guns accounted for six enemy planes. Repaired, tne Helena was back In service in time to participate in the fight to retain the American grip on Guadalcanal. She fought in two of the fiercest sea battles of the war the battle of Cape Es-perance and the mid-November battle of Guadalcanal; she blasted enemy land positions in the Solo mons, and she helped protect many American convoys. Some day, the Navy said tonight, a new Helena may Join the fleet to avenge her namesake.

Avoid loss with ibis low-cost coverage Foreign workers also are engaged sabotage throughout Germany. Many have been arrested and shot the SS guards. MUCH COMPLAINING German industrial leaders, however complain that they are continually having trouble halting sabotage and the bad influence the foreigners are having on German workers. Instead of the latter influencing the foreigners the foreig- we influencing the Germans. There Is a growini: fear of the foreign workars among the German peupie.

iviuny expect a mgnc oi long knives and mass raising beyond anything known in history. As far I can see their fears are not without grounds. The foreigners can create complete anarchy inside Germany for least a short time, causing damage which would be difficult to overcome even for occupation troops. The irrowlne Intensity of the war the air meantime is hitting certain districts of Germany hard, but seems doubtful to me that this of warfare will produce a decision. Its effect is mostly negative.

Even if 95 per cent of the German people had made up their minds to surrender because of the devastating air raids, the five per cent, which is the Nazi party, could prevent capitulation by ruthlessly exploiting the executive power. as lar as I can see the effects the bomblnes can be decisive in direct military defeat. On basis of experience so far It is improbable the disciplined soldiers the front will be driven by worry relatives back home to resort to mutiny. The seriousness of the war situ ation is growing steadily more obvious to the German people behind their so-called fortress walls. More more the Germans are occupying themselves with the thought of defeat and its consequences.

What developments might follow military disaster is not clear to anyone in Germany. Bad as the situation Is it is mark by a certain stabilization. HITLER ON DOWNGRADE In fact. Hitler's authority as a military leader has almost disappeared. Everyone knows that In Nazi party even better than elsewhere.

But In Judging Hitler's position from abroad one must not forget he is still the unchallenged political leader. Also It shouldn be overlooked he has been and still seems to German people to be the only alternative to complete catastrophe. Those who believe in Hitler naturally are those who must do so because they have no other choice. At least five per cent of the German nation is so compromised their work in the Nazi partv or elsewhere for the regime that they nave to stick to Hitler to the bitter But even outside of this limit group there are wide quarters at least hope he may save Germany from disaster. They believe he might succeed in turning tables by some original maneuver or through a bold stroke.

Hitler has been in desperate situations before and found a way out. What these circles in Germeany thinking about above all Is the possibility of a separate peace with Russia. There are other miracles for which the Germans can hope as "new weapons." It is ob vious that new arms exist, but out of Germany hardly anyone be lieves they will be able to chance whole development of the war. ine talk or new weapons also serves as propaganda, especially in districts Heavily attacked by Allied bombers. But Nazi "revenge" with weapons must materialize within a short time or the entire internal propaganda' concocted by Goebbels will be a complete fiasco.

COTTRELL WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 Resignation of Prank L. Walton of the War Production board's textile, clothing and leather goods branch yesterday was followed today by the resignation of Lewis S. Greenleaf, as director of the consumers' goods bureau and Mr. Walton's Immediate superior.

Announcement of Mr, Greenleaf 's resignation lent credence to reports here that the entire consumers goods bureau would be disbanded and the dividend's functions assumed by the Office of Civilian requirements. The reports persisted despite denials from officials of OCR and others at the policy-making level of WPB. OTHERS LEAVE POSTS With Mr. Greenleaf's resignation three out of the four chief executives of the consumers goods bureau have relinquished their posts there in the -last 10 days. William S.

Ham-mensley, division director, turned in his resignation last week, and Mr, Walton withdrew yesterday. Only N. C. Burleigh, in charge of service equipment in the consumers goods division, remains. According to reports which have persisted here for several days, the OCR and consumers goods division have been in sharp conflict, with OCR charging that its mandates, so far as civilian goods are concerned, were not being carried out as OCR meant them to be.

The succession of resignations prompted speculation here tonight as to whether or not the consumers' goods division of WPB would furnish the ammunition for another congressional investigation Into the WPB such as followed the resignation last year of Robert R. Guthrie, Greenleaf's Immediate predecessor in the textile, clothing and leather goods division. GUTHRIE ALSO RESIGNS Mr. Guthrie resigned, charging that interference with his division's operations on the part of top WPB officials, Including the side-tracking1 of limitatipn orders applying to consumer goods industries, were hampering the war effort. Committees of both the Senate and the House held hearings on the charges.

In private life, Mr. Greenleaf was industrial sales manager for the Behr-Mannlng corporation of Troy, N. Y. Another resignation of a top executive in a war agency was revealed today with the announcement that Hector Lazo, assistant director of the Office of Economic warfare in charge of its office of exports, has resigned, efective November 1. Leo T.

Crowley, administrator of the foreign economic administration, accepted Mr. Lazo's resignation in a letter expressions appreciation of the official's services. Mr. Lazo Joined the then Board of Economic warfare in September of last year, succeeding Col. Royal B.
