TOKYO IS ANGERED, HINTS ‘EXPLOSION

‘Single Spark May Touch It Off, Commerce Minister Says, as Press Indicates Japan Will Obtain Materials by Force. TOKYO, Aug. 2 (U. P.).—Japan reacted angrily today

to new economic measures taken against her by the United States.

Commerce Minister Sasazo Sakonji, a vice admiral, said “the present international situation is so tense that a single

spark may be sufficient to cause an explosion.” Newspapers and even officials warned that Japan would take drastic steps to offset the effects of economic measures taken against her by the United States, Britain and their associates.

MRS. SHEPHERD DIES

| chronic myocarditis.

By TIM TIPPETT

In past months thousands of workers have streamed into Indianapolis to satisfy the hunger of mushrooming defense industries and each day the housing problem has

become more difficult. The sprawling Allison Engineering Co. has been one of the strongest magnets which has drawn to itself family after family. Houses, apartments and rented rooms soon filled to overflowing. There was only one answer left to the problem—trailers. And today for miles about the Allison plant, on farms, backyards and empty lots, trailer camps are springing up. These camps hold little resemblance to the crdinary tourist camp where trailers are parked helter-skelter, presenting an air of temporary existence. For the camps resemble little cities with neat streets, mowed lawns and even street lights. = = 2 WALKING THROUGH a camp is similar to walking down any street in residential Indianapolis. Children {play in yards and dogs lie sleepily in the sun. Here and there a housewife hangs out her weekly wash or sweeps the porch (grass rugs in this case). Life is normal here and peaceful. A typical trailer family is the Bowers. Fred Bowers used to make ABC washers in Peoria, Ill. He owned his own home there and was a “radio ham.” A skilled anechanic, his services were needed at Allison’s and he came here a year ago. He soon became a final inspector at the plant and wanted to send for Mrs. Bowers and the two children. But then he came face to face with the housing problem and was stumped. Then he noticed the beginnings of the trailer camps. He investigated and discussed it with his wife. = ® =

TODAY THE FAMILY is residing comfortably in a trailer or land yacht and Fred has even kept his {hobby as “radio ham.” Built into the roomy trailer is his sending and receiving apparatus and outside he had built a 20 foot “sender.” Comely Mrs. Bowers is content. She misses the large closets of their Peoria home, which they still have, and she would like to buy a house here if they stay, but all in! all, “it’s fun.” She likes her neighbors, too. Several of them are from Peoria, some, ‘from Florida, Michigan, downstate Indiana and other states. In the camp where the Bowers live, operated by Roy V. Smith at 1740 Georgetown Road, there is electricity, water, and sanitary facilities. Mr. Smith is just putting

SOVIETS REPORT ‘ANNIHILATIONS’

Claim 253d and 137th Ger= man Division Destroyed; Optimism Grows.

MOSCOW, Aug. 2 (U. P)— Russian forces ‘were reported to have “annihilated” the 253d and 13th German infantry divisions and two Nazi regiments. Optimism wgs reflected in highest quarters over the Red Army’s siXe week fight against the German ine vaders. This optimism was reflected in the impressions received by Harry L. Hopkins in his conversations with Josef Stalin and Foreign Minister Molotov. Reports said that Soviet forces are now holding off the German thrusts and in many points are engaged in counter-attacks which in some sectors have forced the Germans to retreat. The newspaper Pravda declared today that “all the military ree sources of the Soviet State are now in motion.” Resistance Grows “Resistance is growing steadily” it held. “From single defensive blows the Red Army is passing on

to consistent counter-attacks and forcing back the overbearing enemy, “The Red Army is beginning to dislodge the Fascists from occu pied positions and compelling him to abandon the offensive at several places and take up the defensive while in some sectors the enemy has been forced retreat with heavy losses.” Private Russian advices reported that the Red Army has stalled Gere man attacks both from the north and south on Leningrad and that the second largest Soviet city is in no danger at present. The successful halting of the drives upon Leningrad was reported as the official communique indicated that Germany's second major offen sive still has failed to break through Russian defenses in the Smolensk area.

TANKS STOPPED, GERMANS CLAIM

Soviet Divisions Crushed East of Smolensk, Says Communique.

BERLIN, Aug. 2 (U. P.).—The Official German News Agency reported today that Russian tank

{forces have started a heavy attack on the Central Front. The attack was said to have been carried out in an attempt to relieve German pressure which the High Command said today had resulted in crushing Soviet divisions said to be encircled east of Smolensk. The DNB News Agency account said that Nazi troops prevented the Russians from fully developing their attack and in heavy fighting held off the Red forces. It was not indicated whether the Red Amy attack was directed against points on the SmolenskMoscow Highway where German forces are now said to be holding points which cut the line of Soviet retreat. The main Nazi thrusts it is said here are those beyond Smolensk and toward Kiev where the Nazi High Command said a new great “annihilation battle” now is being fought. According to German sources, in the last six days Nazi forces have taken 82.000 prisoners, destroyed 737 tanks, 770 guns in addition to 25 complete batteries of four funs each, {11 anti-aircraft batteries, 161 antitank guns, 1200 machineguns, about 13000 trucks and 1200 freight cars. | German sources denied reports [that the “Greater Germany” regi‘ment has been wiped out.

—Marcel Battilana, 38, member of a prominent Stockton family, was ar-| rested and jailed early today on the| charge of Joyce Marlow, 22, a night club singer, that he kidnaped her) at the point of a gun and assaulted her three times in a hotel. District Attorney Raymond M. Dunn said he would file a formal compiaint later today. Miss Marlow confronted Battilana and accused him of assaulting her, but he denied the charge, Mr. Dunn said. : Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Donald Bosco took Miss Marlow back to the hotel, in Tracy, Cal, to determine whether it is linked with a white-slave ring. _ She told Mr. Dunn she came here tf :
