DETROIT, Oct. 12.—(^—Term

detailed confession" of Eleanor
Smith, Prosecutor William E.
Dowling said today he would re

maid with kidnaping.
He said jk psychiatric examina
tion of the woman would be asked
as soon as a warrant has been
issued.
“Her confession is of such na
ture that I feel I cannot give the
complete story at present because
I have been taken into her con
fidence,” the prosecutor said, ad
ding that she had given as her
motive “mother urge and love of
a child.”

a blue-eyed, fair-skinned baby at a

Arnold Says Luftwaffe
Larger But Gas Lacking
By JAMES J. STRE3IG
Associated Press Aviation Editor.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.—Iff)
The Luftwaffe now has more air
craft than when Hitler sent it
against Poland in 1939, but it is
grounded for lack of gasoline and
oil, Gen. H. H. Arnold said today.
The commanding general of the
United States Army Air Forces
said that the non-flying status of
the Nazi -warplanes resulted from
carefully planned and boldly exe
cuted allied attacks on their
sources of supply, their communi
cations and their storage places.
Germany’s present productive
capacity for synthetic fuels, he
told a meeting of the Wings club,
is down to 30 percent of normal.
Much of the petroleum it had hop
ed to use is in Norway and Greece
—cut off by lack of communi
cations—and in pipelines and sto
rage places where it cannot be
used.
He said that the fuel shortage
led the Germans first to reduce
training, then to cut out miscel
laneous missions, next to cut fly
ing by “brass hats” and finally
to end training altogether, so that
in addition to a lack of fuel there
is also now a shortage of pilots.
Later, in answer to a question,
General Arnold asserted that “of
course” the B-29 Super-fortress op
erations against Japan have been
worthwhile.
“Some day they will be flying
over Japan in the same number
that B-17’ns now are flying over
Germany and then you won’t’ ask
me that question,’’ he said.
In addition to his overall AAF
command, Arnold heads the 20th
Air Force which flies the B-29's
on a worldwide assignment

FUGITIVE BEGINS
RETURN TO TEXAS
Francis Elva Smith, alias Charlie
Lester Bair, alias “Big Time Char
lie,” age 38, accused of complicity,
along with Bill Rising, in the ran
sacking of Kingoff’s Jewelry store
and the theft of some $6,500 in
jewels last July, left Thursday
morning for Texas, where he will
answer fugitive from justice
charges.
Smith allegedly escaped from
the prison at Huntsville, Texas,
where he was being held for bank
robbery on a 25 year sentence.
He was in the custody of W. I.
Crane, agent of the Texas prison
system, and will be driven to Cal
ifornia where Crane must pick up
another prisoner before Smith
reaches his penal destination.
In preparing Smith for the long
ride home, Deputy Sheriff Charles
Snow searched him and found an
unpretentious little home-made
weapon, concealed in the lining of
his handkerchief pocket. The in
strument had evidently been fash
ioned of a strip of tin unwound in
opening a potted meat can, Snow
said.
The strip had been carefully filed
and flattened, so it might easily
be used in the unfastening of hand
cuffs. In a demonstraion yester
day morning, Snow showed how
the piece could be effectively uti
lized.
At odd times, Smith had con
fessed his dissatisfaction at t h e
thought of returning to his home
prison. He told one policeman: “I
am going to get away if I can.”.
The big fellow was absolved of
blame in the Rising case, and was
thus released to the Texas authori
ties.

Southern Democrats
Discuss Money Plans
ATLANTA, Oct. 12—W— Means
of raising funds for the party’s
national campaign were under dis
cussion today by Democratic lead
ers of six southern states who in a
formal statement predicted “the
south will again lead the nation
in sweeping President back into of
fice.”
“We are met in Atlanta, not for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of keeping these ten stages
in the Democratic column,but to
help provide means to support the
campaign in doubtful states,” the
statement last night said.
“In other words, the south wants
to pay its way, and we should pay
our way in the national democra
tic organization. Some of us seem
to think that because the south
votes solidly democratic, that
should be our contribution. . .our
financial support is necessary if
we are to win.”
Leaders from Mississippi and
Tennessee, were to arrive today to
join those of Florida, Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina.
Another conference of party lead
ers from Kentucky, Virginia, Mary
land and North Carolina will be
held as soon as the conferences
end here.
REP. Bob Sikes, Florida national
committeeman and executive direc
tor of the national One Thousand
Club, and Edgar A. Brown, South
Carolina state senator and regional
finance director for the Demo
cratic campaign, are conducting
the conferences.
Archbishop Of York
Opposes Vengeance
Alone For Germans
a '
LONDON, Oct. 12.— UH —The
Archbishop of York today appeal
ed to Christians to “oppose whole
sale and indiscriminate vengeance
on the German people.”
“But we have no right to for
give them light-heartedly,” he
added. “The muraer factory near
Lublin, the wholesale asphyxia
tion or machine-gunning of tens
of thousands, the wiping out of
villages like Lidice and Oradour
—these are crimes which we have
no right to pass over.”
Addressing the Convention of
York, the archbishop said it was
the Christian attitude that Ger
mans proved guilty of atrocities
be punished, that Germany be
completely disarmed as a step to.
ward preventing her from mak
ing another war and that a posi
tive and constructive policy to
ward the country be adopted.
“The Christian churches should
as soon as the war is over get
into contact with the Christian
churches of Germany,” he said.
“We must help the state in run
ning new cultural and recreation
al centers and colleges for youth
work.”
