were the reports which told Of feats
performed by American-made equip

tanks were said to have been built

Detectives of the British attack in
North Africa were twofold-the de-
struction of every Axis weapon of
war in the territory; the knocking
of Italy out of the war.
The first of these, Churchill said,

battle of the Tobruk triangle had re-

were. Some felt certain that the
British, once in undisputed posses

STRIKE:
Sixth appeal

The sudden end of the coal strike,
and the answer of John L. Lewis
that he was willing to accede to
President Roosevelt's sixth appeal
for labor peace in the captive coal
mines brought question to the fore
in the strike crisis-who was the
winner in this bitter battle, the Pres
ident or Lewis?
Some reporters described the sud-
den ending of the strike as dis
tinct victory for the President, in
that Lewis had agreed to binding
arbitration Of the strike, some
thing he had held out against since
the fall-down Of mediation board ef-
forts to end it.
But when the personnel of the de-
Gliding committee became known,
the matter of the Presidents VIC
tory became dubious, because the
committee included DR.. John r.
Steelman, head of the Cancellation
service of the department Of labor,
representing the public; Mr.. Lewis
himself, representing the. strikers;
and Benjamin F. Fairless, president
Of U. S. Steel, representing the mine
owners.
There was little question about the
stand that Lewis would take in the
fight for q closed shop contract for
his members. That was d foregone
conclusion. As to the other two,
DR.. Steelman was generally given
credit by labor for having won them
the closed shop in commercial
mines.
Looking at Mr.. Fairless, it was
generally believed by the union
workers, and so stated by Lewis
more than once that Mr.. Fairless,
during other conferences, had APP
.parently been the only steel man
willing to give in. In fact Lewis put
the blame for the failure of pre-
vious negotiations squarely upon Eu-
gene G. Grace Of Bethlehem Steel.
Lewis had declared that he faced
the decision of the committee with
the utmost confidence in the out
come. The ending of the strike was
dramatic. The union policy commit
tee of 200 waited "a hours for its
meeting. They didn't know the rea-

into his private Office. He read it,
came out again with his thumbs in
the armholes of his vest and de-

opened. Fifteen minutes later the

Marshal Petain, head of the Vichy
government, had been reliably re-
ported as on his way to a confer
ence with, first, Hitler and then
Mussolini as the hour drew near
when the French would have to de-
eide definitely whether to join the
Axis as full partner or not.
The conference, according to the
Rome radio, was ito be held soon
somewhere in occupied France"
The increased pressure on France
was seen as a sequel to the British
offensive in Africa, and the sudden
resignation of Marshal Weygand as
commander of France in Africa
was seen as part and parcel of the
same reaction.
Germany, observers said, was
prepared to offer Petain full peace
instead of an armistice, based en-
tirely on how much increased aid
the old marshal was willing to
promise, thus making France an
Axis ally in truth if not in name.
Even in Washington presiden-
tial source said that Germany was
planning a general European con-
ference in December or January,
and that following it would probably
come some Understanding scheme"

Tigers, Sox Square Off in Odd
Game of Current Series Tonight

v Chicago, July PAPA turn In
fortunes may yet send the Detroit
Tigers out OF Chicago with a size
able bag OF booty and a little en-
couragement for first division fin
fish.
The Tigers and the Sox square
off In the odd battle OF their three
game series under the big bulbs at
Comiskey Park tonight. and the
still boastful Buck Newsom will
try to follow the brilliant example
set yesterday by Paul DIZZY Trout.
Delivering one of the finest per-
formances OF the major league sea-
son. Trout set down the Sox with
three hits, one scratch, to win
the second game, 5 to l, and regis
ter his sixth victory OF the year
against three losses.
On the basis of games won, Dizzy
now leads all Tiger pitchers and,
although the White Sox are acknowl-
edged as weak hitters, Trouts job
yesterday provided for new hopes
that he will be a first-class twirl-
err.
After giving Chicago a run in the
first on single, walk. and double,
Trout retired the next Is men in
order and only two men after that
got on base. He struck out two
and walked two. In achieving his
sixth triumph, he went ahead of
AL Benton, Johnny Corsica and
Newsom, who have five each.
The Tigers, although getting IL
hits and seven walks off Edgar
Smith. made hard work of winning
for Trout. They left 10 men on the
bases and did not clinch the game
until pushing over three runs in
the ninth.
