8 (JP) The Inter national Committee for the Study European Questions reported to- ight that Russia is using Soviet ilitary schools to train captured erman army officers for the "for- ation of the ranks of a future Wchrmacht for Germany." "Several dozens of divisions," it added, "have been formed by the Russians from German prisoners of war." The committee, a nongovern mental group of men prominent in public and private affairs here and in Europe, declared its own con tinent-wide espionage system had also discovered that Germans and Russians were engaged in "active collaboration" in developing and manufacturing arms in Russia and the Soviet zone of Germany. Warns Of War Possibility The committee, which has pub lished a number of reports on post ar conditions, warned of the pos bility of war between Russia and he western powers. The committee includes such British figures as Lord Beveridge, iberal peer and author of Britain's cradle to the grave" social so curity legislation; M. L. Oliphant, atomic scientist; Lord Vansittart, chief diplomatic adviser of the late Neville Chamberlain, and Sir Alexander Fleming, discoverer of peni cillin, and representatives from France, Belgium, Norway, Holland and Denmark.

8 A parade of witnesses called by Howard Hughes today told the Senate War Investigating Subcommittee that low Government priorities were to blame for the lag in Hughes's wartime plant-making projects, and that the planes themselves were exceptionally good. Among those summoned by the millionaire flyer and movie-maker were Air Force officers and engi neers who tested and inspected his huge wooden flying boat and F-ll photo plane, and the Air Force officer who was stationed at the Hughes plant for the last two years of the war. Low Priority Blamed They testified that: 1. Primary causes of the slow ness of the Hughes projects were the low priority granted by the Government and delays in supply ing Government-furnished engines and propellers. 2.

The hull of Hughes's big flying boat proved to be the best of a series of models tested at the Na tional Advisory Committee for Aeronautics laboratories at Lang- ley, in the 1942-44 period. 3. In static tests at Wright Field, Ohio, Hughes's photo plane made the "exceptional" record of showing only one minor part failure whereas 80 per cent of the planes tested had one or more major failures. Pepper, Ferguson Argue 4. In selecting documents for the current injuiry into the flyer's $40,000,000 in plane contracts, the committee chose only those un favorable to Hughes.

Today's session was repeatedly delayed by the insistence of Chair man Ferguson Mich.) that Hughes write out in longhand any questions he wished to have his witnesses answer. After getting off to a slow start when through a misunderstand ing Hughes and his witnesses failed to appear for the 10 A.M. opening, the morning session was almost completely bogged down by an argument between Senator Pep per Ha.) and lerguson as to whether Hughes should be allowed to question his witnesses verbally. Session Had To Recess Pepper declared that Hughes actually was "on trial" before pub lic opinion, and should be given all the rights of a man on trial, includ ing the right to cross-question witnesses. Ferguson maintained that what is being held is not a trial, and that if Hughes wanted to ask questions he should write them out and let.

'The snow and cold swept down from the western mountains, bring By GRAXTLAXD RICE South Bend, Nov. 8 The famous 34-year-old series between Army and Notre Dame came to an end this afternoon on South Bend turf with the Green Flag of the Irish far in front. A fast, powerful running attack cut through Army to the tune of 27 to 7. The passing arm of Johnny Lu-jack might as well have been a hammock as Notre Dame elected to win along the ground.

Brennan, Lujack, Swistowicz, Sitko and Coutre were far more than the Army could handle. Notre Dame took the lead just 11 seconds after the game opened. Terry Brennan took Army's kick-off on his own five-yard line and ran 95 yards for the opening touchdown, aided by brilliant blocking down the field. Three Army tack- lers in the road were promptly cut down as Brennan raced over the line. This was a death blow to any hope Army might have had of win ning.

Brennan run was an able piece of legging, but the support he received was a big factor in this opening. 59,100 See Contest Just eight minutes later Notre Dame's fast, hard-hitting attack sent Brennan again over the Army goal for the second score in the presence of 59,100 spectators, a ecord South Bend crowd. Strangely enough. Army out passed Notre Dame by the margin 40 yards to 28. In the march for the second touchdown, Lujack threw one pass for 22 yards, and that single shot was about all Notre Dame needed for its twenty- third victory in the long series gainst seven Army wins.

Army was outclassed and over powered by greater speed, although Rowan, Galiffa and others picked up IS first downs for 193 yards through a big Irish line. Army fought to the finish, but it was outclassed in drive, weight and experience. Of Notre Dame's 22 first downs, 21 came along the turf. and this tells the story of the game. Army Holds Irish After the opening shock of the first eight minutes, Army rallied valiantly.

Trailing by 13 points, Army defense suddenly came to life and for the next 31 minutes held the Irish onslaught in full con trol. Each learn had five first downs the opening period, with Army's main thrust headed by Rowan Notre Dame opened the second period as If Mr. Leahy's young (Continued On 2d Sports Page) New York City Whipped By London, Nov. 8 (JP) The Psychic News spiritualist journal said tonight Church of England investigators had declared in a report suppressed for nine years that "there are quite clear parallels" between religious miracles and "modern phenomena attested by spiritualists." The magazine published what it said were conclusions of a seven-member majority of a church-established investigating committee of churchmen, scientists and laymen. It did not publish evidence in support of these conclusions nor any of the minority report.

Prepared In 1938 The editor, A. W. Austen, said the report was prepared in 1938, but was suppressed by the House of Bishops of the church, "largely at the instigation" of Dr. William Temple, late Archbishop of Canter bury. The dean of St.

Paul's, the Very Reverend Walter Robert Matthews, who said he was on the committee, declared today he was sorry the report "was not published when submitted." He said he thought the reason it had been withheld was that the investigators had disagreed on conclusions and Arch bishop Temple felt "controversy should be avoided." "Make A Strong Case" "Thc Psychic News quoted the majority report as saying that if spirit manifestations through medi urns "must be doubted because they have not yet proved capable of scientific statement and verinca tions, we must add that the miracles and the resurrection itself are STASSEN TO CARRY CAMPAIGN TO DIXIE Maps Delegate-Hunting Tour Of Area Regarded As Taft's Vandenberg takes steps further to remove self from consideration for the Republican nomination for'the presidency.

"Certain outstanding psychic experiences of individuals, including certain experiences with mediums, make a strong prima facie case of survival (of individual spirits) and for the possibility of spirit communications, while philosophical, ethical and religious considerations may be held to weigh heavily on the same side," the magazine quoted the report. "Wherf every possible explanation of these communications has been given and all doubtful evidence set aside we think it is probable that the hypothesis that they proceed in some cases from discarnate spirits is the true one." The report warned, however, against "easy credulity which opens the door to self-deception and to very great amount of fraud." Was Circulated Privately "It is, in our opinion, important that representatives of the church should keep in touch with groups of intelligent persons who believe in spiritualism," the report was quoted as saying.

A field goal by Dinky Bowen, Tech fullback, just before the half ended proved to be the final difference betw een the two teams as each outfit managed to push across a pair of touchdowns. Navy led in first downs, 14 to 10, In yards gained rushing, 164 to 142, and in passing yardage.

When Georgia Tech scored six plays after the game started, it appeared that the margin might be greater than the two points it turned out to be, but Navy came right back in the second quarter and went ahead when Bob Schwoef-fermann took a flat pass from Bob Home on the seven-yard line and taced Into the end zone. Wills Kicks Extra Point Jim Wills missed his try for the point after touchdown, but Georgia Tech was offside and Wills tried again. This time, he made good and Navy went ahead, 7 to 6.

On the next to the last play of the second quarter, Bowcn's field goal changed the score again, this time to 9 to 7 in favor of Tech. Late in the third quarter Navy took the lead again when Myron Cerber plunged across from the eight-yard line to wind up a 62-yard scoring drive. Once again Wills's placement was good and Navy had a 14-to 9 lead at the end cf the third quarter. A year ago Navy led Tech until the final two minutes and lost by 28 to 20. Yesterday Navy held its lead until six minutes were left in the game.

Fumble Proves Costly Just as was the case a year nno, a fumble led to Georgia Tech's winning touchdown. George Brod-nax, alert Tech end, covered a bobble by SchwoefTermann on the Navy 35, and two plays later the Georgians scored. Bob McCoy gained four yards to the 31. Then Jimmy Patton ran to his right, dodged a Navy lineman and then passed diagonally across the field to Jimmy Southard. Southard took the ball over his jhoulder on the 5 and ran Into the end zone.

Bowen's placement made no difference this time, but It was good to put Tech ahead 16 to 14. Navy battled back hard in the closing minutes of play but Joe Brown intercepted a long pass by Reaves Baysinger on the 22 to halt Navy's last threat.
