(AP) Production and strategic plans In Washington, it was learned authoritatively today, are shaping up toward $100,000,000,000 victory budget for the United States in 1944. Tentative figures for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1 1943 WPr. described as already exceeding $90,000,000,000 and might be about when President Roosevelt sends his annual estimates to Congress the first week in January. The biggest budget in anybody's history, this pending plan la no -orient of when the war will end. For the coming year, the war managers the maximum weapons and mobilization possible.

If the war should end sooner, the plans can be cancelled. If the war goes past July 1 1944 these expenditures will be calculated to bring victory as soon afterward possible. in the current year, the United States is spending for itself and slightly more than $70,000,000,000. Much of this spending was im-nrovised as the war scene shifted, because bombs fell on Pearl Harbor right in the midst of last years annual budget season. This year more careful planning has been possible.

Broad strategic plans of how, when and where the war will be fought are being made up In the tightly-guarded conference rooms of the combined chiefs of staff. The armed services and the lend-lease administration have taken these plans and estimated the requirements in supplies and other costs. The War Production Board and other agencies have had time to calculate what the factories and mills can produce and what new plants are needed, and what projected plants are not needsd. The President and his Budget Bureau assistants, particularly Budget Director Harold D. Smith and Assistant Director Wayne C.

Coy. have been sifting and re-sifting the figures and throwing in the smaller needs of other government agencies. One doesnt have to go very far back in weather history to run across veritable November bliz- zards. Fortunately there were none such to record this year. I The warmest day of the months was the 20th when a maximum 4 temperature of 77 degrees was registered and the coldest weather be-1 curred the 15th when the mercury dropped to a low of 21 degrees.

The prevailing winds were with high winds occurring Nov. 10, 13 and 14. Dense fogs prevailed Nov. 6, 8 and 9. Ten days were re-: corded as clear, six as partly cloudy and fourteen as cloudy.

Although comparatively little rain fell during November the heavy rains of preceding months had saturated the ground and lack) of warm sunshine kept the soil well-moistened. As a result the farmers in this section were late In doing their fall seeding. However, by, the' end of the month, with favorable, germination conditions, the wheat had mostly sprouted, although but. slight progress In growth has been made. Some com remains to be shucked.

Income payments to Individuals the first eight months of 1942 amounted to $70,834 million, an increase of 22 percent over the corresponding period in 1941. BUCK JONES LAST PICTURE Charles Buck Jones, cowboy movie hero of many youngsters, visits with a little girl In Childrens Hospital at Boston only a few hours before he was caught in the fire that struck down hundreds of patrons of the Cocoanut Grove night club at Boston. This picture was Jones last. He died at Massachusetts General Hospital from burns received in the fire. AT INQUIRY INTO BOSTON FIRE As the death toll In the Cocoanut Grove night club fire was officially fixed at 449 and the Injured at 172, Mayor Maurice J.

Tobin (left) William A. Reilly, Boston fire commissioner and Boston Fire Chief Samuel J. Pope (right) began an Investigation of the tragic blaze. BOSTON FIRE DEATH (Continued From Page One) BABY'S CdiSS Relieve misery fast extcmzlly. Hub on VapoRub artificial palm trees decorating the club and "struck a match to them.

You were of the opinion they were not Inflammable?" Fire Commissioner William Arthur Reilly asked. They were treated. Ill say; treated to my satisfaction, Llnney replied. He added that there were a sufficient number of exits. "Do you still feel In the light of what has happened that the condition of the Cocoanut Grove premises was good on Nov.

20? Reilly asked. said Linney. Other witnesses testified to the speed with which the flames raced from one end of the club to the other, and some testified that flour of the six exits were locked. John J. Walsh, Boston civilian defense public safety director, said he was sitting with a party about midway In the building when the fire broke out.

How much time elapsed before the flames were all over the building? he was asked. Not over a minute or a minute and a half, declared Walsh. Walsh said he and other men forced open a door to escape. John W. Bradley, a bartender, said his first Intimation of the fire came when he saw an artificial palm tree ablaze in the downstairs Melody Lounge.

I pulled It down and hollered for water and tried to put water on it but It was too late; the whole ceiling was ablaze, he related. Bradley, his head swathed in bandages, said he threw three pans of water on the fire but the more you threw on the worse it got. Three Boston members of the State Rouse of Representatives called upon Governor Leverett Saltonstall to close all liquor-serving Massachusetts night clubs and restaurants which operate below street level. The Governor previously had said that the state would take no action until we get a report on this tragedy. ALL BOSTON ENTERTAINMENT ROOMS ORDERED CLOSED BOSTON, DEC.

1. (AP). The Boston license Commission today imposed a complete ban on all entertainment in Boston hotels, restaurants, cafes, taverns and night clubs as an aftermath of the Coconanut Grove fire that cost 449 lives and Injured -v-T'- i' The ban will stand until such time as inspections are completed and the building and fire departments have given assurance that no dangerous conditions exist, the commission said. NAZIS IN LOSING BATTLE FOR RAIL LINES AT RZHEV (Continued From Page One) alow but steady progress in heavy fighting. There were no reports, however, that the beseigers had been driven from any areas of major importance.

One dispatch said the Russians had advanced from three to six miles near Stalingrad" but did not specify whether this was northwest or southwest of the city. RUSSIANS REPORTED TAKING MANY POPULATED CENTERS In addition, the Russians moving southwest from Stalingrad down the Tikhoretsk railroad, near Kotelnikovskl, have taken a number of populated centers in sharp clashes with enemy rear guards. Northwest of Stalingrad, German transport planes were said to have dropped food and munitions to encircled garrisons. The Russians said Nazi officers were trying to conceal from their men that they were cut off. However, these probably were isolated though strong enemy units, and Soviet dispatches did not intimate that the whole enemy army had been surrounded between the Volga and the Don.

Snow and fog hampered air operations in that area, but the Russians also put planes in the air and said about 300 Nazi infantrymen had been killed in two days by Red army bombing and aerial machine gunning assaults. The Germans were reported to have developed fortifications In great depth to wall off Rzhev, but the Red army was said to be penetrating them with artillery and tanks leading the way for cavalry and Infantry. 1 I DARING SUB CREW BAGS EIGHT SHIPS (Continued From Page One) depth charges about them and they were fired on by escort vessels. "Our biggest day, said Klakring, was the day we sank four big ships in one hour. The enemy convoy force was nine or ten ships 6ix big cargo ships and three or four combat escorts.

We fired at two ships and saw both of them go down. Our range was between 500 to 1,000 yards. We were lucky to hit both ships. The other four scattered in all directions while the escort came after us. I let all members of the crew line up and look through the periscope to see the two vessels go down.

We then chased two of the remaining four ships into a harbor. One went aground on an island and the other started to drop anchor. It was quite a long range, but we fired one torpedo which hit under the stack and the ship broke squarely in two and went down in about 45 seconds. Apparently not a survivor got off. The convoy was standing to In a large port where there are steel mills.

Klakring said the third sinking was in full view of a Japanese settlement. This sinking and the next one averaged about a minute going down and several boatloads of survivors got away. When we started after the rest of the convoy, Klakring continued, out of a cove came six or seven Jap patrol planes. They dropped plenty of depth charges but we kept on after our prey. We managed to head off 6ne of the two remaining ships and let her have two torpedoes.

On Sunday they approached shore close enough to watch the horse races at a big' city track. We watched the pony races for an hour, said Klakring. There was a tremendous crowd there, and we could see the races clearly. It wasnt recreation. I.

was looking for a target, but we didnt fire that day. The submarines next victim was an transport only a mile from the beach. 7 This was near a large city and I think quite a good number of people ashore saw It, Klakring said. It was at the entrance to the harbor. The submarine later sank two ships ten minutes apart out of another convoy despite gunfire from escort vessels.

One was a tanker and the other an armed freighter. "There were seven ships in the convoy, and unfortunately we got only two, Klakring said. A lone, fully-loaded cargo vessel which broke In two when torpedoed and sank quickly was the subs etgth victim. TANEYTOWN C. OF C.

Opposition to the gasoline controls, Imposed to save rubber, brought a retort from Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson last night that we cannot and will not deny our soldiers the finest equipment in order to cater to the whims of those who dont seem to realize that their country is at war. Declaring that the Army already has cut rubber uses several times at the expense of maximum efficiency in some cases, Patterson added that we cant reduce our use of rubber any more without risking the safety of our men and hampering our operations. Senator Vandenberg told the Senate yesterday that extension of the rationing program was premature and inadvisable. He predicted that "totally Inadequate arrangements will bring confusion and chaos and an inevitable breakdown in the system." He contended that rationing officials were depending upon their experience In the East as a basis for curtailing gasoline consumption In the wide open spaces out West and that thousands of drivers are confronted by impossible curtailment.

Meantime, OPA said the "A book ought to give sufficient mileage until local ration boards can issue supplemental or books.

VICHY CABINET NEAR WAR DECLARATION (Continued From Page One) Von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, greatly perturbed by the turn of events and undecided about the proper course to follow. The Italians were anxious to move into France and occupy Nice and the Island of Corsica immediately, the diplomat said, but Ribbentrop was worried about the temper of the French people. la the midst of these deliberations Adolf Hitler, apparently undisturbed about the reaction of the French people, bluntly ordered the occupation of all France except Toulon and sent his personal letter to Petain, telling him why.

Petaln protested immediately and the Vichy cabinet went into a tl-hour session on a German request that Vichy declare war against the Allies and join her old enemies, Germany and Italy. The proposal finally rejected by a vote of 8 to 6. The diplomat said the present trend among the arch collaborationists hi Paris seemed to Incline toward the formation of a Quisling government to force France into war against the Allies with or without the eollaboration of Marshal Petain, From French naval sources at Barcelona, Is was learned that Admiral ean De La Borde, commander of the home fleet, gave the order to buttle after making preparations for the act months before.
