COAKLEY FIGHTS
 FOR HIS FUTURE
75=Year=Old Boston Lead= CT Goes Before Bar of
 Senate Today
BY FRED MULLEN

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Boston, Aug. 25 - (UP) = Gov ernor's Councillor Daniel H. Coak- ley went before the bar of the sen- ate today to battle for his political future in the first impeachment trial in Massachusetts since 1921.
 The fiery 75-year-old Boston Democratic leader is charged in IA articles of impeachment drawn by the house with having had an il- legal interest in pardons granted three criminals, including Raymond L. s. Patricia, onetime Rhode Is- land public enemy No. 1.'
 Tn the last impeachment trial which must serve as the only prec- edenE for procedure, Daniel Web ster sought unsuccessfully to save Judge James Prescott from being removed from the bench.
 Most of the preliminary sparring between Coakley and his accusers, the. house of representatives, has been concluded since August when through his counsel, he entered his preliminary denial of all charges. Tn his formal answer, filed with the senate clerk last week, he denied each, charge specifically.
 Answers Described
 The house board of managers through Attorney General Robert T. Bushnell, its counsel, described Coakley's answer as irrelevant, evasive, misleading, immaterial and untruthful'' and designed to "ob- Scure and conceal the misconduct and maladministratio in office"
 The answer of Judge Prescott had been described in like manner by Josiah Quincy and his house asso- ciates February 5. 1921
 It will be Coakley's first appear ance in the role of trial lawyer he is directing his own defense since he won acquittal in criminal proceedings brought against him in Middlesex Superior Court in 1924, shortly after he was disbarred.
 Assisting him in the defense are former Assistant U. s. Attorney William H. Lewis, Negro and former Harvard athlete, and former Rep resentative Francis E. Rafter of Sa- lem.
 Aides To Bushnell
 Bushnell is being aided by his staff of assistant attorneys-general and by special Justice Frederic A Crafts of Waltham who was en- gagged as a special staff assistant for the case.
 It was the release of Patriarca shortly before Christmas in 1888 that prompted legislative investi- gation of alleged pardon-parole racketeering. Coakley's impeach- ment was recommended by the com mission that made the study.
 Patriarca's release came after he served only 84 days of three con- current state prison terms of three to-five years each for armed robbery and larcency. The other par dons involved were those of Frank W. Potter, released after serving II years of a>life term for murder, ano Maurice Limon of Peabody who committed suicide in Milwaukee Wis, shortly after serving one year of three-to-five year sentence fol arson.

 With the Second Ormy in Orkan- sas, Aug. 25-CUP)-The enemy Red forces today intensity their drive against Seventh army corps lines, already pushed back and stretched dangerously thin by counter-at- tack.
 The Reds assumed to be greatly superior in numbers and mechanized equipment, are not giving the Blues change to dig in and erect field Qualifications.
 The problem was frozen" over the weekend, but the opposing forces resumed it today.
 The Blues three divisions, facing eight Red divisions, tonight fall back to positions south of Terre Rouge Creek. This night March, the third within 8 week, will enable com manders to determine how far their units have progressed in the tech nique of mass movement under rig orous blackout conditions.
 All reserves will be thrown into the fight by the seventh corps com- mand to avoid decimation of the corps before it crosses the creek.
 Elements upon which success of the enemy discover the night with drawal? (2) Will the Red force at tempt to outflank the Blue forces, particularly south of the little Mis- souri river. east of Reader, Ark? (3) Will the Red forces receive mech anized achievements?
 The command has ordered partic- ular attention to anti tank defenses and engineers will simulate the blasting of bridges over Terre Rouge creek. Aviation will be used for combat and reconnaissance.
 The counter attacks will be car- ried out at the most suitable times by mechanical forces to delay the Red advance and enable the seventh division to occupy new favorable po- sitionS.
 The second army rested yesterday, but special reconnaissance parties were cut examining sites for the new position and staffs worked out complicated time tables.
 More than 200 church services were held for the troops Catholic services were held under field con- ditions with improvised altars form ed by folding down the baggage compartment covers of "jeep" cars.
 Chaplains heard confessions a short distance away.

 Another War Phase
 Introducing another phase of modern warfare to their maneuvers, waves of attack and heavy bomb CTS last night raided Lake Charles, La., a gulf port. The city was black cd out when sirens sounded and powerful Searchlights crisS-crossed the sky
 Three-inch anti-aircraft batteries roared as the raiders dropped flares to find their objectives.
 Meanwhile, the local defense unit, military police, state and local off cers patroled the streets, making citizens black out their windows and stop their automobiles.
 Officers said it was the most real istic air raid test so far in the United States. They were pleased with the completeness of the black out.
 General Krueger, in radio ad- dress after the raid, said it is 'ex- tremely gratifying in these troubled times to observe such examples of unity"
