Wednesday Morning, March 12,1941 Latins View Nazi Movies SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. films designed to show that Nazi armed forces are "irresistible" and that life is normal in German-occupied European territories are being sent in large numbers to South America, an American oil executive said here today. "Germans are landing propaganda films in South America and showing them all the time," said Andre J. Stoll, financial manager and contract executive of the Schlumberger Well Surveying Corporation of Houston, Tex.

He has been in Venezuela for three years and is en route to Batavia, Dutch East Indies.

Russian promise that Turkey need fear no attack from the Soviet should she enter the war has been given to the Turkish ambassador to Moscow by V. Molo- toff, the Russian premier and foreign commissar, a competent source declared tonight The same informant added that the Germans were raising long-range Runs in the port of Varna in Nazi-occupied Bulgaria, with the apparent intention of controlling Black sea shipping. Almost simultaneously with these reports came a disclosure by a foreign diplomatic source that three German warplanes flying over Turkish fortifications along the Bulgarian frontier were fired "Upon yesterday by Turkish antiaircraft guns. The Nazis unhit, were said to have sped back over the territory of Bulgaria, where troops are pointed at the frontiers of both Greece and Turkey, respectively Britain's belligerent and nonbelligerent allies.

Company Seeks Refund Of Tax The Arizona Box Company, in a suit filed yesterday in superior court, asked members of the state tax commission, individually and collectively, for 517,758.86, which counsel for the company claims was paid in excess sales taxes to the commission from July 1, 1937, to January 1, 1941. The complaint charges the company paid sales tax at the rate of two per cent, whereas the proper rate should have been one quarter of one per cent as the sales were "being made at wholesale for resale." The company paid a total of $21,707.72, instead of S3.948.86, which should have been the assessment, according to the complaint. The figure asked represents the excess charge, according to the plaintiffs counsel. Named as defendants are D. C.

O'Neil, Thad M. Moore and C. W. Peterson as members of the tax commission, and the commission as a Body. The action was filed in the court of Superior Judge Howard C.

Speakman. WPA 48-Hour Week Ordered WASHINGTON, Mar. The Work Projects Administration today ordered a 48-hour work week put into effect immediately on its defense construction projects consist mainly of airports access roads, and building construction at army and navy posts. Howard O. Hunter, commissioner, said the order affected approximately 200,000 workers, and would mean an increase in their pay.

They have been working from 30 to 40 hours a week. Hunter telegraphed all WPA itate administrators: "In order to expedite work and rnove up completion dates on certi fied defense projects, you are au WASHINGTON, Mar. Warning that there is a striking analogy" between the present at- Stude in the United States and Sat which destroyed France William C. Bullitt today urged an awakening to the realization that this country "now is in- the grfai- est danger she has ever faced. The former ambassador to France said he believed "this realization will be aroused more in the next few weeks when the German air and submarine attacks begin in force.

He appeared before the house judiciary committee, which is investigating the defense labor situation and has before it several antistrike proposals. Pre-Fall Conditions Told He said he had no recommendations on the defense labor problem. Rather, he devoted most of his testimony to and preceded Uie fall of France and cited examples of complacency which, he warned, must not be emulated in this country. Bullitt asserted that the French people never really took the war seriously until the German army had stormed France's frontier defenses. He said "Germany never on earth would have conquered France" if the French had taken up two years earlier the spirit displayed in the last it was too late." "Five thousand planes would have saved France." he added.

He believed this program for production of planes, merchant ships, and many other war materials is "too small" for the seriousness of the situation. "We're producing well and producing honestly, but we're building a 20-foot rope to do a 30-foot job." Bullitt observed that France iuwjccio, yuu cue authorized to employ all workers on all construction projects certifiec by the secretaries of the war or navy departments as important for national defense on a 48-hour per week work schedule effectively jm mediately, "I wish to emphasize the neces- utUn authorization into effect on all certified airport and access roads projects, This authorization supersedes previous ex- SSfr Branted wit1 respect to ho respect hours of work on projects affect had "a wonderful war production program set up for 1942," but added that "France was destroyed in 1910." "The plane production in the month the Germans inside her borders was approximately times greater than any previous month," he said. He told the committee that a great block of "long-overdue" labor reforms, strikes and Communist sabotage slowed French production materially "just at the time she should have been producing with every energy to meet the German menace." Analogy Is "Striking" "The analogy between that attitude and the attitude in this country today is striking," he said. Bullitt said that up to the time of the French crisis. Communist workers did practically no work even under the greatly shortened hours and that loyal Frenchmen as well were involved in wave after wave of strikes during the critical period from 1936 to 1938.

He agreed in answer to question that prohibition of strikes did not furnish the complete answer in France. During his discussion of French strikes, Bullitt was interrupted by Sam Hobbs, Democrat, Alabama, who read figures that loss of defense labor time in the United States during January and Feb ruary totaled 591,000 hours. Hobbs read a newspaper dispatch stating this was enough to produce 2,000 fighter planes or one battleship. "America," Bullitt said, "now is in the greatest danger she has ever faced and I don't think the people appreciate it "It is the duty of every patriotic American right now to think at every moment, for the sake of his home, family and church, of what he can do for his what his country can do for him." Ten-Year Bridge Game Recorded CHICAGO, Mar. The Redfields and the WwhT wehns have been playing the in 1 dge for more 1 know tl score tne number of sets made and the total grand slams.

If you cared to spend a day or two looking over the scores of his wife and air. and Jlrs. Fred Kirchwchn, he would er ceive that it's still anybody's battle. The cards were shuffled and the first hand dealt back in 1930. Since then the foursome has played more than 6,000 hands and scored more than 1,500,000 points.

Neither Redfield nor Kirch- wehn has. eve if played in any other bridge game, which is understandable. But they hope to carry on with their wives until 1955. "We've got room for it in our ledger," Redfield said. Federal Corporation Charters Are Urged WASHINGTON, Mar.

Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Democrat, Wyoming, senator, told the monopoly committee today that the only way to avoid "continued expansion of government debt and the continued expansion of government control over private business" was to require incorporation of national business under federal law. "National charters for national corporations" was one of four recommendations proposed by O'Mahoney for inclusion in the final report of the committee, which is preparing to wind up a study of nearly three years' length. 'He recommended also: "The effective and thorough enforcement of the antitrust laws' to maintain competition and to prevent all combinations and agreements that destroy business; The encouragement of new business and small enterprise revision of the tax laws for the purpose of encouraging new employment and new industry; "A national conference called by congress of the various organizations, representatives of business, labor, agriculture, and consumers which have for years been working on diverse phases of this central problem" in order to "concentrate public Motorist Blamed In Man's Death A coroner's jury yesterday attributed the death of Jesse Albert McMillen. 50 years old, to the "careless" driving of Joseph S.

Wischler, 25, 1112 North Central avenue. McMillen was injured fatally in a collision Saturday morning. The jury, empaneled in the East Phoenix Precinct Justice Court room by Harry Westfall, coroner, decided McMillen's death "was the result of being struck by a car driven in a careless manner by Mr. Joseph Wischler." McMillen suffered head injuries when the bicycle he was riding was hit by Wischler's coupe in the 1400 block of East Van Buren street. He died in a hospital about an hour later.

WiscWer, testifying before the jury yesterday, said he was traveling about 30 miles per hour when the bicycle suddenly swerved in front of him. Both vehicles were going east, officers said. Funeral services for McMillen were held yesterday afternoon and he was buried in Double Butte Cemetery, Tempe. thought and action on the jectives on which there is general agreement." O'Mahoney was unable to attend the final committee meeting because of illness, and his statement was placed in the record. Subcommittee Named A four-man subcommittee was appointed to draft a final report.

Besides O'Mahoney, the committee will include Sumner T. Pike of the securities commission, Joseph J. O'Connelly of the treasury and Representative Reece, Tennessee, Republican. O'Mahoney, who for several years has advocated requiring corporations in interstate commerce to hold federal charters, contended that until his system were adopted there could be "no effective regulation 'except by piecemeal through the continued multiplication of government boards and commissions" accompanied by "continued evasions, continued abuse, continued concentration and continued expansion of government." "We cannot hope," he said, "to stop the processes of concentration (of business) If we are willing to continue to allow the states to create the agencies through and by which the concentration has been brought about. "1 am aware that many businessmen xxx look upon this plan for federal charters as merely another step in the growth of all-powerful government That is an error.

It is only through a charter system that the growth of government can be prevented." Choice Is Seen Asserting that the nation faced a choice between "free private enterprise or government planning," O'Mahoney added that "if we are to avoid an all-powerful, central government, we have no recourse but to re-establish and encourage free private enterprise, that is to say private enterprise which will be free from the arbitrary control of private organization as well as of public organization." The chairman urged that the committee's final report begin with a "definite and unequivocal declaration of our faith in free enterprise, a declaration that we do not seek a formula for the establishment of an all-powerful government but one by which to preserve free opportunity for all the people." In order to encourage development of small business, O'Mahoney said he favored a system of privately insured loans, rather than making the government the source of needed capital.
