LONDON, Jan. 5—A reliable foreign source tonjght reported a widening split between Adolf Hitler and his generals over the back- firing offensive against Russia. This source said that Field Mar- shal Gen. Walther von Brauchitsch | was the third Nazi Army leader | either to resign or be fired by Hit- | ler. ! The others were Field Marshal Gen. Fedor von Bock, commander of the central front in Russia, and | Col. Gen. Johannes Blaskowitz, who | capitulation asked for his discharge even before the campaign began. | Gen. Blaskowitz was said to be living in Paris as a private citizen. One of the main leaders in the Po- lish campaign, he arranged the ! terms for Warsaw. | | When Hitler decided to invade Rus- sin, the general said he anted no part of it,” this informant said.

Hope to Double Output. Mr. Knudsen told a press confer- ence that representatives of man= worth of weapons and war | agement and labor within the auto- mobile industry had pledged their “utmost co-operation” to accom- plish this end at an extraordinary Government-industry-labor confer- ence involving 200 top-ranking au- tomobile makers held under his direction. He said the conferees expressed | confidence that they would be able to double the 1942 plant output which had been mapped for their private industries ‘“before Pearl Harbor.” “I told them,” Mr. Knudsen said, “that before Pearl Harbor they were scheduled to deliver two and one- half billion dollars in military goods by the end of 1942; now I'm asking the industry to make it between five and six billion.” Details of Plan Discussed. y conversion plan em- bodying a Government expenditure of $5,000,000,000 was presented to the conference by representatives of the War and Navy Departments, and separate meetings were arranged this afternoon to discuss details of this plan.

Labor, Slated as Annapolis Head Capt. John R. Beardall, President Roosevelt's naval aide since last May, has been selected as the next superintendent of the Naval Acad- | emy at Annapolis, it was learned today. His nbmination as rear ad- miral is now before the Senate. The President is understood to have chosen Capt. Beardall for the post because he wants a vigorous young man in the job who can speed up the vital wartime task of edu- | cating and commissioning naval of- ficers. To satisfy the increased demand for naval officers the Navy Depart- ment has shortened the Annapolis | course and has set up a 120-day spe- cial officers’ course to train civilian college graduates.

British War Office Praises Newsmen for Job in Libya By the Associated Press. ! LONDON, Jan. 5—Newspaper correspondents and photographers | who suffered the dangers and priva- | tions of the 'desert alongside Brit- ain’s fighting forces in order to tell | the story of the second battle of | Libya won the praise of the War | Office today for a dangerous job well done. “It will be realized” said the| tribute, “that both correspondents and photographers have to be as fit as combatant troops and it is clear that on this, the first time it was| possible to give them a real chance, | they and everybody connected with | them did their jobs well.” | Three Associated Press corre- spondents, at various times, were in the thick of the fighting. One of them, English-born God- frey H. P. Anderson, was captured late in November by the Italians and still is their prisoner. Edward P. Kennedy, a native of Brooklyn and former member of the staff of The Washington Evening | Star, was with the British forces | which made the Axis garrison at| Bardia hoist the white flag Friday. A veteran of the first Libyan cam- paign, he moved forward with the; British advance forces and was able | to compare this offensive with that | of Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell a year ago. Mr. Kennedy flew with | Sir Archibald to Crete soon after British forces entered the Greek- Italian war. Preston Grover, a native of Farmge ington, Utah, was rushed from Istan= bul to Cairo and thence to the front to replace Mr. Anderson and it was he who not only accompanied the British ,at the occupation of Barce but actually slipped ahead and greeted them at the gates. Journalistic tactics were as care- fully prepared by the British as| their own military plans. As a re- sult, newspapermen were not in the thick of much of the fighting. One truck bearing correspondents and photographers, in fact, was blown up by a land mine. At the very start, small groups were taken out from Cairo so that Axis spies would not be tipped off by their departure that the cam- paign was imminent. . When the fighting got under way, their films and dispatches were given priority on R. A. F. planes between the front and Cairo. Santa Anita Winter Meeting | Called Off Beca BY the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5—The win- ter race meeting at Santa Anita Park Charles H. Strub, vice president and general manager. The meeting, scheduled to begin December 31, was forestalled by mil- itary restrictions. Dr. Strub made the announcement after returning from San Francisco, where he conferred with Col. D. A. Stroh, of the staff of Lt. Gen. John L. De Witt, commanding officer of the Fourth Army. He said Col Stroh told him there was little hope | of resuming horse racing in Cali- fornia in the near future. ] was canceled today by Dr. use of War | “Col. Stroh told me they would ! take under consideration our appli- cation and those of other sporting | enterprises, but that there would 1 have to be an improvement in condi- tions,” said Dr. Strub. “He said that at the present time there was no improvement, and that,’ss a matter of fact, conditions were worse.” Santa Anita will be kept open to owners and trainers who wish to re- main and directors will make it available for defense purposes, if | needed. Money collected for tickets, memberships, nomination fees and taxes will be refunded within a week or 10 days, Dr. Strub said. x (See BRIDGES, Page 2-X) ‘ More Envoys | | Elevated to | | Ambassadors | Agreements for raising to the rank of Ambassadors the diplomatic en- | voys exchanged by the United States | with Paraguay, Bolivia and Ecuador | were announced by the State De- partment today.

Roughly this line, it was said, runs from Leningrad through Rzhev, Vyazma and Bryansk. Rzhev, 125 miles northwest of Moscow, already is under pressure of a. Red Army attack from Staritsa, less than 30 miles to the east. The capture of Belev brought the Russians within 75 miles of Bryansk.
