Knew Goebbels’ Tricks

Mr. Oechsner is the sort that newspapermen call conservative, Sometimes he was put under pressure by his New York office because he tailed to fall for the stories often slyly circulated by Dr. Joseph Goebbells’ propaganda office. But he never yielded. One day in 1939 Mr. Oechsner suffered the worst fate that can befall a newspaperman. A story from Berlin blazed in headlines all over America that the Nazis had decided against going to war—and Mr. Oechsner didn’t have it. Two days later however, he had another story— Hitler's invasion of Poland. He is that kind of a reporter, He is sure of his facts before he files a dispatch. When Mr. Oechsner reached iNew York about a week ago, there became available a mass of notes that the gestapo had tried but failed to prevent him from getting out of Germany. They were writ-

ROMMEL STUCK: TRAP IS BAITED

British Seek to Force Nazis Back in Libya or Cut Them Off.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

LONDON, June 6—Marshal Erwin Rommel's second eastward thrust of the present Libyan campaign has gotten badly stuck and British tank forces are now threatening to drive him back from whence he came, or to annihilate him before he can get there. According to the latest reports, British armored forces were engaging German panzer units west of Knightsbridge (28 miles south of Tobruk), where most of the previous tank fighting had occurred, and were pressing them back toward the corridor in the British minefields which Rommel managed to carve out at the beginning of the week. Front-line dispatches said that the counter-offensive had “reached its first objectives.” It is assumed that the British units holding the original defensive line north and south of this corridor, are pounding German forces inside it and attempting to seal it up again, This corridor is about 10 miles wide and forms Rommel's most direct line of supply and retreat. His only other line extends southward around the British left wing at Bir Hacheim and is in constant danger. It is now known that the British have managed to relieve the Free French and Indian garrison, which has been holding at Bir Hacheim, and this indicates that the German supply route in that neighborhood is the subject of

Adoption of a state “permit system” to control the movement and storage of the 1942 wheat crop will be decided at a second conference of Indiana grain dealers and farm representatives Tuesday.

The method by which Mr. Oechsner got his notes out of Germany cannot be made public at present. They were of such nature that he could not carry them with him to internment at Bad Nauheim.

And it showed this danger in the little things in Hitler's life:

AUSSIE SHIP LOST; |

JAP SUB SUNK, T00

MELBOURNE, June 8 (U. P).— A Japanese submarine has sunk a second merchantman off the southeast coast, but ix believed to have paid with its life, to bring the total of enemy undersea craft destroyed in six days to seven, and probably eight, it was announced today. The Japanese submersible, lurking off the New South Wales coast in the new offensive against the vital Pacific supply line from the United States, torpedoed an Australian merchantman, The siricken ship broke in halves and sank within 30 seconds. But as if sank, with probably 38 of its 43 men trapped inside, an allied reconnaissance plane roared over and its avenging bombs were believed to have sunk the submarine, Racing to the rescue, the plane swept to within 20 feet of the five

survivors struggling in the water. It! dropped three bombs. After the]

third struck the water, a big explosion was heard, apparently inside the submarine.

It was estimated that the 1942 Indiana wheat crop would total more than 22 million bushels, while the state has storage space for only some 16 million bushels of all types of grain. Railroad officials declared that shipments of wheat could be provided for if the grain were removed promptly at the terminal. The railroads have ruled that no wheat may be shipped unless the storage space is assured in advance.

said. “I had met him Half a dozen! times. I suppose my contact with him was more direct than that of any other foreign correspondent in Berlin. What I wanted to know was what was Hitler like when he was alone, what he read and wore, hat he saw when he looked in the mirror.”

Goes Inte Detail

The result of this quest by a reporter who stuck to a disagreeable Job when he might have gracefully moved beyond the reach of the Nazis is now as complete as possible. It is important that when Mr. Oechsner tells you what he learned about Hitler's library he does not describe it in general terms but says how many hundred volumes there are and what Hitler wrote on the margins. When he tells you that Hitler once—and only once—was persuaded to box with his physical instructor, he explains which ear the embarrassed fuehrer was clipped on. When he reports that a woman bought pajamas for Hitler, who had always worn. s nightshirt, he tells you how many pairs and what color. No other American reporter has as clear a picture of the Nazi leaders as Fred Oechsner—and none has painted them in such devastating words.

Frederick Oechsner’s historic series begins Monday in The Times.

His Second Communique Admiral Nimitz said that in sev-

ber boats. . He did not mention Japanese casualties. But his first communique yesterday on the Midway attack had made it plain that the enemy suffered a frightful air force toll in its frustrated attack on Midway, It was the second communique of the war from Admiral Nimitz’ fleet headquarters here at the Pearl Harbor base which, first to be attacked by the Japanese, stands today as a bastion and a threat, with little coral-reefed Midway 1149 miles to the northwest.

Another Battle Possible

There was no indication in the communique whether the United States naval forces expected a new and possibly decisive battle with the Japanese fleet, dnd the question was left open whether the Japanese might essay another attack, But there seemed no possible doubt that the enemy had suffered a damaging, important repulse. When the Japanese were thrown back in the Coral Sea battle, off the Australian east coast, it was likewise left in doubt whether, reinferced, they would renew theirs attack within a few days.

An Opportunity Perhaps

i: One month since the end of the five-day battle, the enemy had not re-attacked in the Coral sea, but instead sent a fleet of submarines into eastern Australian waters. Six, probably seven of them were sunk for a loss to the allies, so far as was known, of a small depot ship and one merchantman. Observers here believed that the United States might now have an opportunity of seriously crippling Japanese naval strength, to the extent even of marking a turning point in the Pacific war, in developments in the Midway zone.

Polar realizes that the new regulations, which are necessary to assist the government to overcome the shortage on rubber, by restrictions in ice delivery service, work a handicap in many instances to the householders and create a real problem in the preservation of foods.

Polar has made arrangements at EACH OF THEIR ICE MANUFACTURING PLANTS to supply ice at the platform (24) HOURS PER DAY — (7) DAYS A WEEK. This arrangement will be in effect for the duration of the war.

POLAR PLANTS ARE LOCATED IN VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE CITY

* Northwest Plant—2000 Northwestern Ave. * Northeast Plant—2T7th and Winthrop Avenue. * South Side Plant—1902 South East St. (at Belt R. R.) ® W. (6th St. Plant—317 W, 16th St. (Near Senate Avenue) * West Side Plant—Lynn St. and Big Four R. R. ( Ci

* Downtown Plant—316 W. Ohio St. (1/, Square West of Soro)

Resident householders who buy ice at the platform will be given a reduction of 10c per hundred gsunds less than the price for ice delivered by Company trucks.
