POLICEMEN TOLD TO -END GAMING HOUSES

‘+ After ‘personally directing raids yesterday on nearly 25 ‘alleged gaming establishmerits, Chief Beeker ‘today: threatened to cancel days off for policemen unless they increased vigilance. More than 20 persons were arrested by the chief and his men on ‘charges of gaming, suspicion of or liquor aw violations. Admitting that a “small amount” of gambling. still is going on, Chief Beeker charged that it was due partly because all policemen are “not keeping busy on their beats.” Policemen now are off duty every eighth day and he threatened to €ancel these holidays as a disciplinary measure. -

for those who discounted a sgnificance. It was peinted out that Litvinov had been in Moscow for two months, but that Stalin had waited until the climax ‘of the ‘Quebec conference to announce that he would, not, return to Washington. The change in ambassadors here and in London was the last of a series of - moves within ‘a few months that continues to shroud Soviet-American relations in mystery. First was Litvinov’s de-

parture from Washington last May, at about the time that President

| Roosevelt sent Joseph E. Davies on | nis second mission to Moscow.

Since then there was set up in Moscow a “free German” committee among German refugees and prisoners. It issued a manifesto to Germans urging them to get out of the war which was widely interpreted—rightly or wrongly—as a bid for a separate peace with Russia inasmuch as the commitee was

Predicting the post-war tasks ahead of this country, Rep. Landis said “it will take a Republican president not to give away more billions of American tax money after ‘the war.” Kenneth C.

national communism, As background for these events there are months of persistent de-

force ‘the Germans to withdraw 40 or 50° divisions from the Russian front; Stalin’s refusal to attend the Casablanca conference even though Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to go anywhere to meet him; the Moscow announcement that the Russians had not been invited and had not expected to be asked to the Quebec conference.

See Second - Front As Only Answer LONDON, Aug. 23 (U. P.) —Relations * between Russia and the Anglo-American partnership were believed today to have reached a state - of tension which could be improved ‘only by the opening of a second continental front. There was nothing to make observers feel the allies faced anything ° ‘as drastic as an actual split. But there was plenty to indicate the ‘Russians were prepared to bring the strongest pressure to bear to get the ‘course. of action they desire. The situation followed the relieving of Maxim M. Litvinov and Ivan Maisky of their positions as ambassadors to the United States and

Great. Britain respectively.

May Visit. Russia ; While full clarification was not forthcoming from Moscow, the action drew a bead on enduring Rus-

sian demands that some of the heavy fighting load be taken from their backs, Experts believed a visit to Moscow by British - Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden or Secretary of State Cordell Hull, if it follows the

Roosevelt-Churchill Quebec conference, may relieve the situation. Quarters best informed on Russia emphasized that one thing, and one only, is necessary to cement the allied front and that is a landing in force in western Europe. Moscow dispatches pointed out that Litvinov and Maisky, two of the foremost Soviet foreign affairs experts, may have been recalled so Stalin would have them hear for advice and consultation on posiwar settlements.

Rome, Berlin Shout Rome and Berlin, of course,

{shouted in radio broadcasts that

allied matters were in a sorry state. Rome even talked about a' Russian ultimatum that without a second front, the Russians could go no further. A calmer report by Berlin radio admitted that even the Nazis think nothing could make Russia, England or America look with any favor on Germany and that from a military standpoint, the current situation is only muddled and not any. hefiber for the Nazis armies,

LAST FRIDAY night, Mrs. Miller and her mother stepped out of a drug store.at Laurel and Prospects sts. A youth stepped out of the darkness, shouted “Hey, you!” at Mrs. Miller and, as the young wife spun on her heel, threw a container of acid in her face. Mrs. Hicks was burned by splashes of the acid, but sought to rush Mrs. Miller to the hospital. In frantic fright and believing herself to be dying, Mrs. Miller insisted on going to see the family minister before going to’ the hospital. The minister took her at once to the hospital where she lies today with her face swollen, her "eyes bandaged and cold-packed and her shoulders seared. Physicians had not been able to determine today whether it would be possible to save the injured wife’s sight, but she placed complete faith in prayer and Mrs. Hicks summed up the family’s viewpoint when she said: “Rose has had her troubles. Jesus will bring her through this time.”
