Harry Hopkins and Mrs. Macy Wed in White House.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (U.P.). —Harry L. Hopkins, * President Roosevelt’s confidant and No. 1 adviser, was married today to Mrs. Louise Gill Macy, New York social leader, in a simple, wartempered ceremony at the White House. The vows were exchanged in the presence of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, S90 : members of the Mr. Hopkins families, and members of the White House staff. The ceremonies were performed by the Rev. Dr. Everett Russell Clinchy, Congregational pastor of Hartford, Conn. 2 » ” THE WEDDING, first in the White House in a quarter of a century, took place in the president's second floor study. The bride in a state- ’ ment a few hours before the wedding, explained that she and Mr. Hopkins felt that “the grave days of war through which we are

the sacrifices being made everywhere . by Mrs, Macy the American people, make a simple and private wedding preferable just now.” There were 16 invited guests (Continued on Page Seven)

PELLEY’S PAPER

Former Silver Shirt Says ‘Motto Was “Christ and

The Constitution.’

By EARL RICHERT

William Dudley Pelley on trial with two associates in federal court here on sedition charges, said to-

Charles A. Lindbergh and other prominent Americans to testify in his behalf was chiefly to “confirm certain statements I made.” . The government is charging that certain writings of Pelley in his magazine, The Galilean, such as Gen, MacArthur “had only 40 squirrel rifles and some White House manuscripts” to start the war with, are seditious in that they tend to create defeatism and interfere with the war effort. Pelley declined to discuss his other reasons for subpenaing the nine men, including former Senator Rush Holt of West Virginia and Maj. Gen. Van Horn Moseley, except to say that “the trial isn’t over by a long way yet. The prosecution opened the third

When Bornstein put the cigaret back in his mouth, Wichser went over to him and told him it was against the court rules. Bornstein again removed it, but by the time Wichser ‘was back in his chair the cigaret was back in Bornstein’s mouth, A deputy marshal went over and repeated the warning to which, the deputy said, Bornstein replied he would “do as he d--ned please.” Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell told Mr. Wichser to take Borenstein “in charge” and the officer took him out of the room. But the judge could hear loud talking in the hallway and ordered Bornstein returned to the bench. “What do you mean?” asked the judge. “It's just a habit of mine,” replied Bornstein. “Well, I'll confine you to the detention room for the rest of the day,” the judge said. Bornstein protested: “That's unfair, your honor.” “Just for that, 10 days in jail,” ordered She Judes. In his

BUTLER GETS $100,000 GIFT AS MEMORIAL

William A. Zumpfe’s Widow Makes Donation to Aid Civic Enterprise.

A check for $100,000 was pre=sented to Butler university today by Mrs. Anna C. Zumpfe as a me-

|morial for her husband, the late

William A. Zumpfe. Mrs. Zumpfe suggested that the

money be used for the advancement of the school of commerce,

but she left the decision largely to]

the trustees. The gift was accepted by John W. Atherton, secretary of the Butler foundation, in behalf of the university. In presenting the check, Mrs, Zumpfe said: “Ever since Butler university moved to its location in lovely Fairview, Mr. Zumpfe and I became more and more impressed with, its influence not only on our home life and the circle of our neighbors, but upon the cultural spirit of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana, as well. Memento of Inspiration

“We numbered among its students, its teachers and professors, and its board of trustees, many of our closest friends. Through them we caught the glow of their enthusiasm for its future, and a bit

Jof the color and form of the thing

they were striving so hard te bring about. “I feel, therefore, that this gift will not merely contribute its small share to this great civic enterprise, but will also serve as a memento of the inspiration the university has been to Mr. Zumpfe and me.” Board members said it was their understanding the gift will known as the “William A. Zumpfe memorial,” and that it is “the donor’s intention to give the foundation the freest power and discretion in its administration, use and disposition for the purposes for

{which the foundation was created,

or such purposes as the foundation may hereafter acquire so as to create a permanent and fitting memorial for William A. Zumpfe.”

He Died in 1940

They said the principal gift may be used for permanent physical improvement but not for the cur-

rent expense of the foundation or

university. Mr. Zumpfe, who died in October, 1940, had lived in Indianapolis most of his life. He was educated in the public schools and developed strong artistic tendencies, especially in music. He played the. violin and developed an orchestra which bore his name and which for many years was one of the best known musical organizations in the city. His vocation was banking, getting his start in the Indiana National bank. He organized an investment

‘We Shall Carry the Attack Against the Enemy’

ON JAN. 6, LAST, the president said in his to congress on the state of the union: “We cannot wage this war in a defensive 5 irit. We shall carry the attack against the enemy—we shall hit him and hit him again wherever and whenever we can reach him.” Six months later,*through no fault of the pr: sident’s, the united nations are still on the defensive. The enemy has kept and exploited the because the enemy has had what it takes. Lacking what it takes, we have been force: to fight a rear-guard action of global scope—scattering oir forces to far-flung terminals, over unprecedentedly long lines of communications. But by this world-wide holding operation we have been purchasing time in which to mobilize overt helming superiority of men and machines. : * 8 % CE WE HAVE MADE GOOD USE of that tin e. Our opportunity to seize the offensive is toming— and coming soon. We will have “what it takes” of the enemy, with decisive force. Indeed the pattern of victory is already belt Z traced over the skies of Germany, and in the rubble I: aps that were so recently the arsenals of Cologne and EL :Sen and Emden and Hamburg. So far the British largely have gone it alot 1€e. But, as British Air Marshal A:T. Harris announced tl is week, a whole new American air ‘fieet of bombers”: an crews’ has begun to arrive in England, and is ti king up position on England’s airdromes. ” # # ” ” 8 YOU WHO HAVE READ Thomas L. Stoces’ five articles, concluded in the Scripps-Howard Neirspapers yesterday, have some idea of what it will mean--ne, two, three, four, five, or six months hence—when the full flow of American mass production is brought to bezr * in the crucial conflict over Germany. A thousand planes a night—dropping 3000 ‘tons of bombs—almost 10 times the destruction force, | ‘he Germans rained on Coventry in two nights. bi Fifty thousand tons of bombs a month—if ot v nights of good flying weather are utilized. Fifty thous ind tons dumped where they will do the most damage—On Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, and all th: reich’s 31 principal industrial centers, as they already live been dumped on Cologne and Hamburg. i Demoralizing the German people, who will & 0 on learn that each such awful raid is but a forerunner ¢: worse.

GERMAN COAL CITY BLASTED IN HUGE RAID

Daylight Blasts in Calais, Boulogne Area Shake Houses in Dover.

LONDON, July 30 (U. P.).—The royal air force today followed up a major night bombing of Germany’s Saarbrucken coal and industrial center with a daylight attack that

ripped the Calais-Boulognhe spearhead of the Nazi invasion coast with thunderous explosions. The blasts of bursting bombs and gunfire around Calais and Boulogne shook houses on Englands Dover coast for a half hour, after which the British raiders swept back across the straits to their bases. “The night attack on Saarbrucken by long-range British bombers was the R. A. F.s third major raid in four moonlit nights.

Repulse Raids on Britain

As they rained tens of thousands of incendiary bombs and hundreds of high explosive bombs on coal pits, iron, steel and engineering works of Saarbrucken during the night, Britain’s night fighter planes and the new secret British anti-aircraft gun broke up enemy raids on the English Midlands and downed at least seven big bombing planes of a small fleet. The ‘air ministry said a_ strong {force of planes, “which meant-a fleet running well into three figures, engaged in the Saarbrucken raid. “Preliminary reports indicate that much damage was done,” an’ air ministry communique said. Official admission that nine planes were missing indicated that the raid, though heavy, was of second rank in the new scourge offensive of the R. A. F.

Meet Little Opposition

Pilots reported that they met almost no opposition, and it was believed that losses were greatly under the average of less than 5 per cent. Germany admitted that several cities in southwestern Germany, including Saarbrucken, were attacked. A joint air ministery-home security ministry communique said some damage was done at Birmingham which was raided for “the second time in three nights and admitted

numerous sasugliles, ‘some fatal. ”

COMMAND TO SOVIET ARMY: HALT RETREAT

Britain Renews 2d Front

Pledge as Nazis Push On in Caucasus.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Editor

Josef V. Stalin called on the

Red army to halt its retreat ' and to stand and fight to vice

tory or death today. Russian artillery broke an axis spearhead striking at the Don river northwest of Stalin« grad. The British government re« newed allied pledges of a second front. In the Caucasus, the Germans

claimed they had cut a vital Ruse sian railroad in an advance 75-miles

:| south of the Don.

Climax Near in Russia

Those developments, coupled with a new R. A. F. raid on the German

coal and steel center of Saare brucken, emphasized the climactic

nature of the battle of the Don river now blazing along a 250-mile

| front into the Caucasus and within

less than 75 miles of the great ‘Stalingrad industrial center on ‘the

Volga river. ; “Not one step back!” Stalin or-

Soviet armies, according to the newspaper Red Star, which added: “Our country is big but the Soviet army cannot withdraw farther with=out placing the fate of the country and the people in mortal danger.” "A series of great battles along the Russian front from the sea of Azov to the Kletskaya sector, less than 75 miles from Stalingrad, was in progress without a decision but with the Russians fighting back more strongly,

Renews Second Front Pledge

Gravity of the axis offensive in south Russia again prompted ques< tions in the British house of coms mons regarding a second front in western Europe and Sir Stafford Cripps renewed the allied pledge of an invasion without suggesting any date. Later, Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky addressed a big secret meet+ ing of members of parliament, pre=sumably regardingsthe second front. The shifting - battle front, which was responsible for the- first. direct army order from Stalin since: he called upon the Russians to turn back the Nazi pincers menacing Moscow in 1941, brought the fol= lowing reports today: !

Germans Claim Gains

On the Kletskaya sector, 75 miles northwest of Stalingrad, the Gers mans massed mechanized reine forcements in a major drive to break across the Don toward the Volga. : Groups of 20 and 50 tanks repeat= edly were thrown against the Russians and some of them reached the river bank, but Moscow said that Soviet artillery massed in depth in the river bend had later destroyed the whole spearhead. The German version was that : progress had been made in a pincers operation in the big bend of the river in the Kletskaya and Ka= lach areas and that all avenues for Russian retreat eastward across the Don toward Stalingrad had been cut off.

Trap Closed, Say Nazis On the Tsimlyanskaya sector, to

| the south and east, the Germans

claimed to have advanced 75 miles south of the Don and to have reaghed Proletarskaya, cutting ;the lingrad-Tikhoretsk railroad in everal places, and crossing the sal river. This railroad is the only on linking Stalingrad with the C casus oil fields. There has been considerable talk about putting art American, p sumably Gen. George C. Marshal, in charge of a second front im sion force and the London D Telegraph said the appointmi would be welcomed in Britain. The Germans also were:
