PUBLIC MAY FORCE \ BRITISH T0 ATTACK

Churchill on Spot as

Front Grows; Nazis Also Need a Victory to Help Morale.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

Aug. 5.—Political pressure,

WASHINGTON, than military judgment, may British war moves.

In Germany, according to Swedish and Swiss observers,

a spectacular victory such as

grad is needed to restore public morale now suffering from

the Russian stalemate. Hither has been unwilling to pay the excessive heavy price merely as a sop for civilian impatience. In England, public demand for the Government to open a new war front while the Nazis are busy with the Russians is so strong that the Government is now hinting a northern offen - sive through Norway - Finland. Military commanders as a rule do not advertise such attacks in advance; and military censors are Ss supposed to stop Denny such reports, in- = stead of spreading them as at present,

Mr.

No Military Surplus

There has been no military excuse for Britain's failure during the last six weeks to take advantage of the Russian war, and attack Germany elsewhere, except lack of facilities.

Military requirements for home de-| fense against possible invasion, plus]

increasing demands for men and materials in the Middle and Far East, are said to leave no adequate surplus for a major British offensive on a new front. The Churchill Cabinet and High Command are on the spot. While a successful offensive would be most welcome, another debacle like those

of the politically inspired British ex-|

peditions to Norway, Greece and Crete would wreck the Cabinet and ruin the commanders. Besides British public pressure for

such a gamble, there are two other|Nazi army

political considerations which Prime Minister Churchill must weigh against apparently military reluctance. One if American, one Russian.

Americans Criticize Inactien

American disappointment over British “inaction” flared into the open yesterday. A faithful Roosevelt aid, Senator James M. Mead of New York, said in debating the new draft bill that defense legislation would be retarded unless “the rising tide of criticism” of British failure

AT DAKAR REVEALED

VICHY, France, Aug. 5 (U. P) — An announcement that extensive] new defenses had been completed along the French African coast was! regarded today as an attempt to as-

sure the United States that Dakar and other strategic ports there would not be surrendered to Germany. The announcement was made by

{Marsh of Muncie; a brother, Thom-

Pierre Boisson, Governor General of Dakar, while the German-con-| trolled newspapers in Paris were denouncing the “interference” in French domestic affairs of Admira! | William D. Leahy, the United States | Ambassador, and while one of them, L'Oeuvre, was charging that Leahy {had offered American aid if France| would defend her African empire’ against Germany. Boissons statement, circulated by, the government here, and an earlier statement by an authorized government spokesman that no military facilities such as were granted Japan in French Indo-China, would be granted elsewhere were inspired by the hint Saturday by United States Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles that the United States might break diplomatic relations with France if she submitted to further German demands.

LONDON, Aug. 5—The British Government remains entirely unimpressed by the Vichy spokesman’s promise, made last night, that the French Government henceforth will not grant military facilities to any outside power in any part of the

GERMANS GLAIM BALTIC SUCCESS

Esthonian Railway Center Falls, May Isolate Tallinn Garrison.

BERLIN, Aug. 5 (U. P.). — The High Command reported today the capture of Tapa, north Esthonian railroad center, virtually isolating the Soviet defenders of Tallinn. It also said that German troops are chiseling out a new ‘“pocket” area 62 miles southeast of Smolensk as a result of a “surprise thrust forward.” However, the official communique admitted heavy Russian attacks were in progress in the Ukraine where Soviet armies were fighting to break through an encirclement despite what were described here as heavy losses. Capture of Tapa had the appearance of a major Nazi success on the Baltic front. Russian forces have been resisting strongly in northern Estonia. With Tapa in German hands, however, the main communications links between Tallinn ana the Russian frontier were cut. Tapa is 50 miles east of Tallinn and 80 miles west of the Russo-Estonian

RAILROADS REJECT PAY INCREASE PLEA

CHICAGO, Aug. 5 (U. P)—A conference committee representing the nation’s major railroads today refused requests of railroad brotherhoods for a 30 per cent wage increase for 1,150,000 men. Fred Gurley, chairman of the carriers conference committee, announced the railroads’ stand at a press conference after meeting with brotherhood representatives. The refusal, he said, applied to wage demands of both operating and nonoperating brotherhoods. Alvanley Johnson, conference chairman for the brotherhoods. said both groups would meet at once to see what action should be taken “to protect the interests of the men.”

TIME EXTENDED FOR MAUCKPORT BRIDGE

Moscow Bombed Again The High Command did not give

[the specific location of .the pocket

area on the central front, except to say that it is about 62 miles southeast of Smolensk. The high command said that German bombers again attacked military and industrial objectives in Moscow. In the Smolensk area there were encircled German forces as well as encircled Russian forces, the dispatches indicated, but they said that the German high command always recognized the Russian threats and that Russian wedges were in turn encircled by new German forces.

Odessa Threatened

The Smolensk battle was described as now in the mopping-up stage. It was asserted that a large pocket 175 mlies south of Kiev, where German and Hungarian forces had surrounded Russian troops, might possibly endanger the whole Russian force defending the Black Sea front and the port of Odessa. The official news agency DNB reported that 6000 prisoners have been taken in the new Ukraine encirclement maneuver, One German division reported a count of 1450 Russian troops killed in its operations. Vital railroad connection already had been cut, it was said, so as to prevent an orderly Russian retreat.

ADDITIONAL DAYLIGHT SAVING IS SOUGHT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 (U. P).— Federal Power Commission Chairman Leland Olds asked the House Interstate Commerce Committee today to approve legislation authorizing President Roosevelt to establish daylight savings time anywhere in the United States. Olds said that serious power shortages are developing in all areas where huge defense production is under way. To meet the deficiency, he said, it probably will be necessary to ration street and sign lighting, air conditioning and ornamental electric displays.

JAPAN REACHES SIAM'S BORDER

Troops Arrive at Frontier Town as Tokyo Asks ‘Joint Defense.’

ese troops have occupied a French Indo-Chinese town near the Thailand border, a Domei news agency dispatch disclosed today, after establishing bases in the interior of southwestern Indo-China. The Domei dispatch did not name the town but indicated it was in Cambodia, the southwestern province (which is nearest to British Malaya).

tentions toward Thailand, would say only that for the present Japan was considering only “joint defense” with Indo-China. Negotiations with Thailand, Ishii said, were confined to the economic field at the moment.

Thailand ‘Immediate’ Problem

Thailand has, it was announced today, granted diplomatic recognition to Manchukuo. The ultra-nationalistic newspaper Kokumin, asserting that Thailand should enter a “defense” agreement with Japan, argued that “the fact that Thailand was forced to say recently it was not oppressed economically or militarily by any country, bespeaks Thailand's sorrowful plight.” Actually, Kokumin said, the United States, Great Britain and China were threatening Thailand. Kokumin said the East Indies were an “indispensable element” in a “Japanese-protected Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” but Thailand was a matter of immediate concern.

Admit Clash With Russia

Regarding yesterday's reports of Siberian-Manchukuo border fighting, Kunio Akiyama, Japanese Army spokesman at Shanghai, revealed that a small clash between Russian and Japanese frontier guards occurred two weeks ago near Manchuli, when Soviet guards crossed into Manchukuo. “A few shots were exchanged.” he said, and one Japanese soldier was wounded. “Only four or five men were involved on each side,” the spokesman said, adding that neither the Russians nor the Japanese attached any significance to the outbreak. A Navy spokesman said that rumors of Russo-Japanese fighting were being “maliciously inspired for the purpose of stirring up trouble.” Chief Spokesman Ishii said at a press conference that Japanese shipping to the United States would remain suspended pending settlement of the cargo of the Japanese liner Tatuta Maru. Resumption of shipping depended, he said, on the question whether it would now be commercially profitable. In order to conserve the gasoline reserve, the Railroad Ministry decided today to suspend service Aug. 10 on 38 railroad lines which are driven by gasoline motors. The Ministry of Industry decided to expand its fuel rationing scheme. Hitherto confined to gasoline and heavy oil, by including kerosene, light and machine oils.

ECONOMIC ALLIANCE UNITES U. S., SOVIET

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 (U. P.) — The United States became an economic ally of the Soviet Union today as the Administration pledged all war-aid practicable to bolster the Red Army defense against Nazi “armed aggression.” This Government formally declared its intention to encourage resistance to Germany's “predatory attack” in an exchange of notes between Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles and Soviet Ambassador Constantine Oumansky. The notes, dated Aug. 2, were disclosed last night in connection with renewal of a U. S.-Soviet trade agreement, first negotiated in 1937 and due to expire tomorrow. The notes pledged to Russia war materials orders the same priorities as for orders from Great Britain and China. . They were expected to form the basis for American “short of war” meayures in support of the Soviet Union which will be developed soon after Harry L. Hopkins, Lend-Lease

and Moscow, where he conferred with officials, including Premier Josef Stalin, concerning the scope of U. S. assistance.

MOSCOW, Aug. 5 (U. P.)—German pressure on the new Kholm Front, where a Nazi attempt to strike through to the main MoscowLeningrad railroad, 110 miles distant is in progress, appeared to have relaxed somewhat today. The morning High Command communique did not report any action on the Kholm Front during the night although heavy battles were reported to have continued on the main Smolensk Front, and the Belaya Tserkov and Korosten Fronts in the Kiev area. For the second successive day, however, the High Command failed to mention Novozhev, 60 miles west of Kholm, a possible indication that Soviet, forces have been forced to fall back on Kholm from their Novozshev positions. Russian forces were reported holding firmly on the main line of the Moscow Front, where Napoleon took Smolensk 129 years ago today, and apparently had slowed the Germans on the Kiev Front.

Ukraine Fighting Is Fierce

The new German drive into the Ukraine entered its fourth day of big scale fighting. The communique reported a violent all-night battle in the vicinity of Belaya Tserkov, 50 miles southwest of Kiev, and apparently the fighting was only slightly less fiierce along the other claw of the German pincers movement, toward Korosten, 90 miles northwest of Kiev, German planes raided Moscow for the 12th time in 15 days during the night. There was an air raid alarm period of three hours. A communique said that only one or two planes of several attacking formations succeeded in breaking through the defense ring of Russian night fighter planes and antiaircraft guns.

ONE KILLED IN BOOTLEG FEUD

Find Wounded Man at 500Gallon Still; Arrest Two Others.

For two months the Marion County Sheriff and the Federal, Revenue men have been searching for a huge bootleggers’ still.

They found ic last night over the dead body of one of the men they were hunting. Another was wounds

led badly—eight bullet holes in his

body. Two men are in jail. Thus flared the County’s first le legal liquor feud in several years, It happened this way: Three residents of the Mann Road-Thompson Road vicinity were listening to their radio about 10:30 p. m. when they heard a “sort of scream.” They ran a half block to a one-story house on a terrace.

Find Wounded Man

Near the doorway they found Jose Hernandez, 40, of 4125 W. Morris St. They took him to Robert Long Hospital where police and his wife were notified, Hernandez, whose condition was critical, told the officers and his wife the name of tne man who shot him and said that there was a dead man in the basement of the house. The police detectives found the man Hernandez had named—a cafe owner—and arrested him on a vagrancy charge. The deputies went to the house, forced open the door of the garage, which was part of the basement, and found the body of Urbin Pope, 44, beside a new truck. Pope had been shot four times.

Bootleg Liquor in Truck

In the truck were 43 five-gallon cans of bootleg liquor. In an ade joining room of the basement were a number of empty liquor cans and elsewhere in the basement the deputies found a 500-gallon whisky still, a cooling vat, mash vats, and a trough with 100 gallons of liquor. Hernandez also told the officers there was a fourth man in the house at the time of the shooting, Police arrested a suspect for quese tioning. The cafe owner, who had a bootleg record during Prohibition days, denied being in the house last night. He said he had eaten at his cafe, then had gone to a tavern and later returned to his cafe.

Wife of ‘Ghost’ Seeks Divorce

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 5 (U. P.) == Because Mara Manet, 32, a pretty, brown-haired French singer, doesn’t know whether her husband is living or dead, “it is like being married to a ghost,” and she wants a divorce. Petitioning Superior Court to clarify her marital status, she told

Judge William Baird yesterday that her husband, Robert Teldy, European theatrical producer,

detachment.’

joined the French Air Force just before the German invasion eof France. She fled to the United States, she said, but had sued him for divorce before she left. She said she had not heard from him and had been unable to de-« termine whether he is alive, Judge Baird told her she would have to bring a witness from France to testify, or wait seven years until Teldy could be declared “legally dead.” Getting a witness from France seemed out of the question. “Seven years is such a long time to wait to find out whether I am married or not,” she said.
