UP Adolf Hitler is gearing the pro-! ductive capacity of Europe into a vast continental war machine by which he hopes to make Germany unbeatable, it was indicated today. Hitler told his Nazi old guard at Munich last night that Germany's productive capacity for airplanes was the greatest in the world and would remain so regardless of American efforts, because Germany was mobilizing all European industrial forces. He said that Germany with its allies was strong enough to stand against any combination on earth, that he was determined to continue the war to a clear decision, that he rejected any compromise. Authorized sources, explaining Hitler's statement on industrial capacity, said today that this was meant to include all means of production now at Germany disposal virtually all the economic organization of continental Europe. In occupied territories, it was pointed out, such industrial giants as the French Schneider-Creusot armaments works, the Netherlands Fokker airplane factories, Belgian and French II WHILE FUEHRER MAKES SPEECH Air and Sea War Reaches New Peak; RAF Carries Attack to Many Points in Reich, Italy.

Four months ago Adolf Hitler chose the spot for the new armistice nego tiations, then moved to Paris and eS' tablished his headquarters in the Hotel Crillon, where the Versailles treaty was written.

France is not celebrating either arm istice this year. For the first time there will be no minute of silence in memory of the 1.800,000 French World War dead. The families of those dead, most of whom now have sons or husbands in German prison camps, undoubtedly will place meager wreaths on their graves, and local monuments to them. In Paris it is expected that the tomb of the unknown soldier under the Arc de Triomphe will be garlanded with flowers, despite the two German sen tries on duty and the huge swastika banner '-anging from the arc above.

UP Men are volunteering for one year of training in the Army at a rate that may make it unnecessary to draft anyone unril next spring or summer, selective service officials said today. lietween 200.000 and oO.UOo volunteers had been expected, but it was believed that they may number between OOO.ooo and soo.ooo. The Army plans to train only isimmmmi this year 100,000 by the middle of March and the remainder by June 13. The response of volunteers will lighten the load of local draft boards in classifying registrants or physical defects, or are needed in industry. But the investigation will not be us detailed as in the case of those being examined for draft.

Volunteers would not be likely to aiKar from a classification, whereas in the case of iersons who do not want to go into the Army it would toe to determine whether their claims for deferment are justified.

UP Police today asked four boys two of them 13 and others 11 and 12, respectively to repeat for District Attorney Toland McGettigan confessions to holdup, purse-snatchings, petty thefts and a million dollars worth of arson, "just for the thrill of it." Police Chief Melvin Flohr at first waa reluctant to believe the confessions. But his files listed cases of arson in which hotels, stores, factories and lumberyards valued at more than $1,000,000 had been destroyed since 1936.

None of the cases had been solved. Moreover, Flohr said, 13-year-old Eddie Gonzales, leader of the gang, had volunteered the information that he and his "pals" had planned to slug Night Desk Sergeant H. D. Huntington and steal the impounded belongings of prisoners in the city jail. Eddie and his gang, consisting of Vernon Cohen, 13, his brother, Erlan 12, and Bobby Jones, 11, have been in trouble with Juvenile Court authorities for nearly six years, Flohr said.

Then, Flohr said, they were questioned separately and each confessed substantially the same things. Eddie told about hiding hi a parki grabbing a woman's purse and pedaling away furiously. He had held up another woman in the park he said, by making believe he had a gun.

9. UP Marshal Philippe Petain. chief of state of France, has replied with "arctic courtesy" to a message which King George sent him late last month, foreign diplomats reported today. It was made known on Oct. 26 that King George had sent Petain a message of friendship and sympathy, expressing confidence in an ultimate victory in which France would share.

Diplomats reported that Petain's reply was generally in the negative sense. It alluded, according to reports, to the unfortunate effect of incidents in which British warships had fired on French warships and other led forces an obvious reference to the Oran naval battle and the attack on Dakar. Petain omitted any allusion to reported German designs on the French fleet and French naval and airplane bases, it was reported, or on the French attitude toward any such designs. Reliable informants expressed belief that th; government would publish neither the King's message nor Petain's reply. British Pilots Assignment By NED KI SSKLL.

LONDON, Nov. LP Britisli bomber pilots "kept appointment" with Adolf Hitler at Munich late, yesterday and bombed the city heavily while he was speaking in a beer cellar. Newspapers here said that the British, while aiming for railway communications in Munich, bombed Hitler's beer cellar and that "somehow" sticks of bombs overshot their mark and fell around if not on the site of the Nazi celebration of its first futile Munich putsch. The Evening Standard aid that in addition to dropping bombs on Munich several tail gunners in British planes tossed out bricks and other article to which had been tied notes address to "Adolf." Reuter's aviation ex'pert said that excitement ran high in the squadrons "selected to keep an appointment with Hitler" and he added that it had been the amlbition of every man in the Royal Air Force to teach Hitler and his friends the lesson they had made they sent German bombers to attack Buckingham Palace in London.

Just how fast British deliveries will he arranged remained unsettled. Kfeiit-er plane production was between 0IO and Ow in September and October. Of these the British were said to have received about 40 per cent. The rate of increase in those two months was small, but aeronautical trade experts estimated that production would jump to between 1,000 and 1,1500 planes monthly in January.

Ic demanding that Lewis carry out his promise, the council accused him of forfeiting labor's confidence by supporting "the candidate of Gird lor. Weir, and Ford." The reference was to Lewis' cuipiwrt of Wendell L. Will-fcie, Republican candidate. The state council pointed out that all members of the CIO executive council except one supported President Eioosevelt. "The results of the presidential campaign', in which Mr.

Lewis came out for Wendell Willkie, showed the completed repudiation of the CIO leader by CIO and other labor elements in all the leading mining and other industrial states, with the exception of Michigan," the council declared.

heavy industries and Norweg- iaa snipounainsr vards had fallen into German hands. Informants were unwilling to go in to details on the potential production tevei or the amounts of commodities to be exchanged with occupied lands. But it was indicated that the general plan was to organize a single efficient unit of power producers, such as the Rumanian oil fields and Norwegian water power; the raw material producers of the east and the industrial regions of the west in order to fight out the war. Hitler in his speech had said that production in some branches of industry had ceased because of a superfluity of products, and in order to release productive forces for more essential materials. It was indicated this great econo mic unit was 'being geared mainly to manufacture planes and submarines.

Authorized informants said that the supply of tanks, ammunition, artillery and other ground weapons was more abundant, the almost intact- German supply having been increased by the great quantities of materials gained by conquest.

Australia, Nov. 6. UP The United States freighter City of Rayville has been sunk by an explosion, presumably caused by a mine, 'th the loss of one member of its 33-man crew, naval Minister William Hughes announced today. The first American casualty of the wr at sea went down at one of the farthest points from home ports that American ships travel 120 miles off the Australian south coast. The only casualty was the third engineer, named Bryan.

The oilier 37 members of the crew were rescued by Australian naval and fishing craft, guided by the fire, before the ship went down. Survivors said the explosion was "like hitting a brick wall." They brought ashore with tbem two pieces of metal that had been blown into a life boat. Capt. Cronin, who has commanded the Rayville for 12 years, said 9 metal did not come from the ship. The Rayville was of 5,883 tons and plied between New York and Australia with general cargo.

A British ship, unnamed, was blown up under similiar circumstances nearby yesterday within 24 hours of the City of Rayville disaster. One man of the British crew of 56 was lost when it went down an hour after an explosion. As a result of the explosions, Hughes today ordered the Bass Straits, separating Tasmania from the mainland, closed to shipping until tur-ther notice. It was assumed that a German submarine had sowu the mines. Australian coastal waters would be far too dangerous for any German surface craft to approach, and are far beyond the range of any of Germany's mine-laying airplanes.

Mines have been found off Australia several times during the war and occasionally ships have struck them. Steamer Reported Afire Off West Indies, May Have Been Quarry of German Raider.
