Lisle T. Lipscomb and Graham

of having engaged in a "disgraceful

The trial, regarded as one of the
most bitterly contested cases ever
fought in Police Court, came to an
end with a memorandum opinion
by Judge George D. Nelson in
which a third defendant, George
Elan, was acquitted of the disor-

Judge Nelson held that Mr.

not seem to justify the punishment
inflicted on the defendants"

MOSCOW, Sunday, July 13.-
Soviet Russia officially claimed
early today that German attacks
in three great areas of fighting
on the continent-Wide battleline
failed entirely to make any i'm
portant" dents in the front.
The Soviet communique acknowl
edged stubborn fighting between the
Red Army and enemy" troops in
the areas of Pskov, a railway center
about IT'S miles southwest of Lenin-
grad Vitebsk, in northern White
Russia, where the Germans are driv-
ing on Moscow. and Novograd Vo-
lynski, in the Ukraine.
These were the regions of the
three main German drives-directed,
respectively, at Leningrad, Moscow.
and Kiev, important industrial city
and capital of the Ukraine.
(TheSe same three areas were
declared by the German high
III lIS D pOIlal
que late last night to have been
points where the Germans sue
cesSfully broke through the Stain
Line.)
Although acknowledging that the
battle was renewed in these three
areas, the communique stated blunt
ly that these encounters caused no
important change in the front"
Red Air Force Strikes.
The communique said the Red Air
Force struck at German mechanical
units and airdromes, and against
Rumanian port and oil field objec-
tives. A total of 102 German air.
planes were declared to have been
destroyed Friday.
The two communiques Saturday
and the one early Friday-the three
communiques preceding that issued
this morning - all reported mo
change" at the front, and that issued
during the day Thursday had stated
that there was nothing of conse-
quence" to report at the front.
All this was interpreted to mean
that a lull had fallen upon the
front.
Today'S communique carried out
a theme stressed by the official Tsss
news agency yesterday that guerrilla
warfare had broken out behind the
German lines.
Guerrilla deteachments," said the
communique, "are operating behind
the lines of German occupation and
are carrying out incessant attacks
on enemy communication lines and
destroying munitions and fuel trains
and discovering and exterminating
whole groups and units of German
troops"
TasS said the flames of a nation
wide guerrilla war are enveloping
the districts of Soviet Byelo-Russia

man FascistS."
| The agency told of numerous in
stances of these haraSsing tactics,
notably in the region about Pinsk, a
town in the Pinsk marshes far be-
hind the German lines declared to
be still in Soviet hands. 80
The Red Army reported its air
force was continuing its behind-the-
lines raids, smashing up German
troop concentrations and striking at
communications lines to hamper
preparations for the expected on
slaught. 1t also reported repulsing

The German Army was reported
again to have remained at a stand

south and Dnepr and Dvina Rivers

By the Associated Press.
Suggestions developed in the Sem
ate yesterday for drastic overhaul
ing of War Departments sponsored
legislation to retain Selective Serv-
ice tIainees in the Army beyond
one year and to lift the ban against
sending them outside the Western
Hemisphere.
Chairman Reynolds told report
ers he would ask the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee to start
hearings on the measure next
Wednesday.
Although he introduced the leg
iSlation at the War Department S
request, Senator Reynolds made
clear he did not favor it in its
present form.
when I voted for the Draft Act. "
Senator Reynolds declared, Il did
so with the clear understanding
that the men would not be sent out
of this hemisphere and that they
were making contract with the
Government to serve for only one
year"
AS an alternative, Senator Rey-
nolds suggested that selectees might
be given some inducement, per-
haps higher pay, TO re-enlist."
George Sees Compromise.
Another to suggest changes was
Chairman George of the Foreign
Relations Committee. Telling re-
porters that some compromise will
be worked out. Senator George sug-
gested plan whereby Selectees
could enlist for one. two or three
years, in their discretion.
Enlistment of traineeS would ac-
complish the ends of the legisla-
ton, since there is no restriction on
where Regular Army troops may be
sent.
Senator George conceded that his
idea might not, however, prove
practicable Those who enlisted
might not be the ones the Army
wants to keep" he said
Some Senators, linking the legis-
lation with foreign policy, said pri-
vately that they would have to have
a clearer explanation of why it &as
needed before they would consider
voting for it. In asking for the
legislation, War Department officials
have spoken only in general terms
of a necessity for this country to
be ready for any emergency.
In that connection, Senator Dana
her. Republican. of Connecticut, as
serted that "the administration
should be more honest with the
Congress and with the people re-
garding the various steps it is tax
ing"
Senator Danaher said that much
information about Government &C
tivities was circulated through
back door, channels and added
that administration spokesmen sell
dom made public the facts until
they had been developed on the
floors Of Congress.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, expressing similar view,

President is willing to ask Congress
for a declaration of war he should
keep the country advised of what
steps he is taking that might lead
us to war"
