LEON HENDERSON is up to his ears in another fight. This time it’s with army and navy over his orders fixing prices on airplanes, tanks, other things the services buy. Mr. Henderson has demanded that army, navy contracts be sent to him for review; he’s trying this way to keep wages down. Services say he’s slowing production. ; NOTE: Army and navy have won most of their fights with WPB, haven't yet been brought under effective control by any civilian official.

Defense Is Difficult

The Don river is the last important natural barrier across the flat countryside of the northern Caucasus but at this time of year it is shallow and may provide a difficult line to defend. The German forces probably will attempt to clear out the entire big bend of the Don river, stretching eastward to within 35 miles of Stalingrad and to take Rostov before attempting any deep push into the Caucasus. A possibility remained that the Russian. counter-attacks in the Voronezh sector might cut into the axis flank if Soviet Marshal Semyon Timmoshenko can mass sufficient strength there after one of the most exhausting battles of the war. But from the German point of view, Voronezh is important at present only for defense purposes—to protect their left flank. If they can fight a holding battle or even prevent a big-scale Russian break through, their main push to the south and southeast

Sunday Session May Speed Saboteur Trial to Its End

WASHINGTON, July 18 (U. P.) — Completion of the Government's case against eight. Naz saboteurs landed by submarine on American soil drew near today as evidence was presented against the four who came ashore on a Florida beach. The secret trial entered its 10th day before President Roosevelt's special military tribunal with indications that it may end sometime "| next week. Attorney General Francis Biddle, heading the prosecution, said a Sunday session may be held to expedite the proceedings. All evidence and testimony against the four Nazis who were landed near Amagansett, L. I., has been completed with reading of a “yery long statement,” presumed to be a. confession by George .John Dasch, leader of the group. 3 Dasch spoke more freely than his partners in the grandiose scheme ‘lof destruction—a plan nipped by Federal Bureau of Investigation orem - {

With Dasch when he landed near Amagansett, were Ernest Peter Burger, Henry Heinck and Richard Quirin. It was the landing of this group which spread the alarm, as they were surprised by a young coast guardsman who feigned acceptance of a bribe so that he might escape death and warn his superiors.

EX-OFFICER CLAIMS CARRIERS OVERRATED

WASHINGTON, July 18 (U. P.). —Col. Hugh J. Knerr, former chief of staff of the headquarters air force, charged in the August issue of the American Mercury today, that “desk admirals” are hampering air power by presenting a false picture of naval activity and advo-

carriers. Calling for more emphasis on long-based bombers such as the flying fortress, which he helped develop, Knerr said carriers soon will “be as useless to us as battleships are today.”

garden and yesterday morning they pulled off a mess of green beans. “And we’ll have lettuce clear up to Christmas,” Mrs. Krampe’s husband, who was painting the house on his vacation, explained.

With mouth watering, I gobbled it down. : But I wouldn't advise anyone to try getting a tomato there on the sly. They Heard the Call

Remember, Mr. Kruse has inside connections with the law. With the sweet taste of tomato still .in my mouth and Joe still chawing on a mouthful of tall grass, we c¢antered off to see Mrs, George Bruce at 810 Prospect st. At the Bruce home, they're going all out for victory production. Besides 28 fine tomato plants (beefsteak variety) they have beans, lettuce, radishes and carrots. When the big push was on for people to set out victory gardens, that was when the Bruces made their first attempt at raising things from the ground.

‘Don’t Forget the Hen’

A garden, however, is not the extent of the Bruce victory production. “We've got a little bantam hen that lays one egg every day,” Mrs. Bruce said with a proud gleam.

Just to prove it, Mrs. Bruce’s|

“Dont forget to say something about the hen,” Mrs. Bruce prompted. “We're_mighty proud of her.” The Bruce family, I think, is a perfect example of victory gardeners. On their first time out, they're having great luck, with fun to match. “We are going to put out turnips about July 25,” Mrs. Bruce said. “That's when they say is the best time.” - .
