Appeal; Wife May Be Interned. DETROIT, Aug. 7 (U. P). —

# Counsel for stocky “Max Stephan,| . German

-born restauranter con- . victed of treason, today planned a conference with the doomed man and his wife regarding an appeal as federal authorities moved swiftly to revoke the citizenship of Mrs. Stephan, Verne C. Amberson, attorney for Stephan, said he may see his client and Mrs. Stephan tomorrow at the Milan, Mich., federal reformatory where the execution is scheduled to be carried out Nov, 13. “Max told me yesterday before Seuiens was imposed,” Amberson , “that if it’s death, we must ll Stephan, a naturalized citizen, was sentenced to hang yesterday by Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle for aiding a German flier escaping from a Canadian internment camp.

Appeal Considered

However, even after sentence was imposed Stephan predicted confidently “they won’t hang me.” Amberson said notice of appeal must be filed within five days with the clerk of federal court here. rson. said there was a dif-

ference of opinion on the method|

of appeal and he had not reached & decision on what procedure he . vould follow. “There are two theories on this Question” he explained. “One section of the statute says you go directly to the United States supreme court, The other holds that you first must go through’ the federal eircuit courts of appeals.” Meanwhile, U, S. District Attorney John C. Lehr sent a telegram to Attorney General Francis Biddle asking permission to begin proceedings to revoke ithe citizenship of Mrs, Agnes Stephan. Judge Tuttle recommended in his decision that she be deprived of her citizenship and be sent to an internment camp.

... Can Revoke Citizenship

Lehr said Mrs. Stephan’s American citizenship could be revoked by federal court on grounds that she gave false testimony: on her spplication regarding her residence and criminal record. Only reversal by the supreme court or intervention by President Roosevelt can ‘prevent Stephan from becoming the first traitor to be executed under the 152-year-old treason law, Shephan aided Oberlieutenant Hans Peter Krug, who escaped from the prison camp at Bowmanville, Ontario, last April. Pronouncing the death sentence, Judge Tuttle said he hoped it would “teach a lesson to every disloyal citizen of the United States.”

FISH DENIES SECRET $25,000 RETAINER

NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (U. P), — p. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y.) to= . denguaced as: “totally false” published statements that he “had received a secret retainer of $25,000 from Gen. Rafael L. Trujillo, head of the Dominican Republic, in 1939, and was “now attempting to explain to the internal revenue bureau” why he did not mention the sum in his income tax return for that year. The assertions were made by the Washington Post and James EH. Causey, chairman of a committee opposing Fish’s campaign for renomination. “That is totally false,” Fish said. “The income tax people have never asked me anything about it, and furthermore it was a business transaction in which I acted as an agent in some oil transactions. As an agent I did not have to file any return. It was a loss of $12,000.” The internal revenue bureau. refused to comment.

last night, the G. O. P. chieftain was the main speaker at a Republican rally at nearby Jeffersonville. . The governor is asking for the election of ‘a friendly legislature and congressmen who will support the president, and Mr. Gates is asserting that the Republican party’s first objective is to win the “war. So far there has been little mud slinging. 2 a =» THE GOVERNOR, well realizing that the success of his term may depend on the type of legislature elected this fall, is missing _ no opportunities. For example, he spent most of last Sunday afternoon in the hot sun umpiring a ball game between two children’s ‘team€ which was held between two industrial league games. There were about 3000 spectators. The, govegnor, who went to the park merely to see the games, was spotted and asked to umpire the childred’s game. And he consented. This is not just 1942 campaign activity on the governor's part. He has been doing this sort of ' thing constantly for years and he hasn’t stopped since he reached the governor’s chair. And it has helped a lot at election time, as shown by the governor’s vote-getting record. You don’t make any enemies standing before a crowd of 3000 people on a hot Sunday afternoon umpiring a ball game between two kid teams when you're governor of the state.

There can ‘be no doubt that the Germans have drawn on their forces in France and.other occupied countries for service in the East. ‘The Russians say they have fewer than 375,000 men in France and this estimate was repeated the other day by the British Broadcasting Co. German nervousness is. marked by a campaign of intimidation in the occupied countries, whose peoples are being threatened with a dire fate if they rise to aid the invaders.

Soviet Kuban Refreaf— Plan or Disintegration?

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

en ‘Aug. 7 —Russian troops in Kuban are either falling back with a deliberate plan in mind, or

are smashed to such an extent that they are unable to maintain anything more than the slightest sort of opposition to the Germans. ! The fact that Marshal Semyon Timoshenko had an estimated 500,000 men_to defend this area, and the additional fact that most of these people got away from Rostov, make it look as though there must still be enough of the army in existence to strike back hard at the Germans. A carefully worded dispatch in yesterday’s London Times, from Moscow stating, “it is clear that the sternest methods are being used to maintain discipline on this
