 According, Japan cannot remain quiet. Japan is on the threshold of entering the world upheaval. Enemy countries are making an ef- fort to discover what Japan plans to do. So we want the people not to stress their opinions and to keep their mouths shut as much as pos sible. If the government Is silent 1t does not mean that it does not have definite policy. A dog that barks is weak while quietnesS is proof of strength"
 In his article in Hochi Ishimaru also made British and American ef- forts to encircle Japan his theme.
 He said the Netherlands East In- dies and Nationalist China already were participating in the encircle- ment. Britain originally planned the encirclement but the United States now is taking the chief role in it, Ishimaru wrote.
 EDEN WARNS JAPAN
 London, Aug. 6.-(UP)-Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said today that any action threatening the in- dependence and integrity" of Thai land vii lbe regarded as a matter of immediate concern by Britain, particularly since it would threaten the security of Singapore.
 Eden toli the House of Commons that the Gapanese newspaper cam paign alleging that Britain is car- rying on intrigues in Thailand in- dicateS that some one in author ity in Japan is attempting to manl.+ facture case for Japanese int0r- vention there.
 If such step is taken" he said, ''it must inevitably give rise to the most serious situation between Hri- tain and Japan"
 Eden said that flor over Q century we have had friendly relations with Thailand and our policy has never been other than to maintain those relations.n
 He said Britain had no formal ai- lianee with China but every frekh Japanese move forward naturally would bring China and Britain closer together.

DISPOSITIONS IN
 COAKLEY TRIAL
Will Be Obtained During Week of Providence, New
 New York Witnesses

Boston, August 6-(UP)-Investi- gators from the office of Atty Gen. Robert T. Bushnell are expected to go to Providence, R. T., and New York city this week to obtain depo- sitions from four witnesses in the impeachment proceedings against Governors Councillor Daniel H.. Coakley.
 Permission to obtain the deposi- tions was granted Bushnell yester- day by Senate President Angler l.. Goodwin (R) Melrose after the 75- year-old Boston Democratic lead- CT had entered a preliminary plea of innocent to all charges of mis- conduct and maladminiStration in office.
 Coakley goes on trial August 25 before the Senate which has re- solved itself into a court of im- peachment. He has until August 19 ot file written answers to the charges preferred by a House board of managers. The IA articles of impeachment were based on his alleged illegal interest in pardons granted three criminals, including Raymond L. s. Patriarca, onetime Rhode Island Pubic Enemy No. l."
 Dispositions will be obtained from Patriarca's brother Francis, Thomas Costa and the Rev. Joseph P. Gibbons in Providence, and from the Rev. Sixtus Brambilla, formerly attached ot a Catholic Church here and now in New York. Rev. Brambilla was one of the signers of Patriarca's pardon peti- tion, but the impeachments articles charge his signature was obtained by false and fraudulent represen- tations."

NEXT GERMAN DRIVE

London, Aug. 6.-(UP)-The Kholm Sector of the Russian front a. marshy, wooded region approXl- ntately 100 miles from the Moscow Leningrad railway, will bear the bFtlnt of the next big German at tack, military experts believed today
 The sector has many natural de- lenses and the Russians were re- ported to have reinforced it heavily. Reports of sharp fighting there were contained in Moscow dispatches yes terday for the first time.
 It was believed that the German thrust there was designed either to extend the Leningrad front, or pre- pare the way for sweep southWard to the Smolensk bulge. Kholm is 200 miles south of Leningrad, 27O miles northwest of Moscow, and 15O miles northwest of Smolensk. Ex- perts here doubted thatt he Ger mans would attempt direct thrust either at Leningrad or the Lenin- grad Moscow railway from Kholm because of the roughness of the ter rain east of there.
 The activity at Kholm was be- lieved to indicate that the Germans had failed to find weak spot else where along the vast front, includ- ing the Kiev Sector of the Ukraine, where the Germans have claimed spectacular gains.
 Concern Caused
 German reports of the capture of Belaya Tserkov, 45 miles southwest of Kiev, the Ukraine capital, caus- ed concern here. Capture of the town by the Germans would mean that the direct railway between Kiev and Odessa on the Black Sea was cut, although traffic could be de- toured eastward from Kiev and reach the port by longer route.
 British observers based their op- tiniHn over the Russian situation on indications in both German and Soviet communiques that all Ger man thrusts were still being absorb ed effectively.
 Radio Moscow was heard broad casting today that several groups of German planes had attempted to raid Moscow last night but Soviet night fighters and anti-aircraft fire had scattered them, only few reaching the city while the others dumped their bombs at random out side the city limits.
 A few small houses were destroyed but there was no military damage and no large fires were started, the re5io said. It claimed that five Ger man planes were short down and that TO Russian planes were lost.

BATTLE ALL NIGHT


 London, Aug. 6.-(UP) Battles rag cd through out the night in the Kholm, Smolensk, Belaya, Tserkov and Esthonian sectors, the Russian war comlnunique asserted today.
 The communique was broadcast by the Moscow radio and picked up by the United Press listening post here.

 NAZI SPIES EXECUTED
 London, Aug. 6.-(UP)-Two Ger man spies were executed at Wands- worth Prison at g a. m. today, the home office announced.
 They were Karl Theo Drueke, 25, and Werner Heinrich Waelti, 35, who landed off the Banffshire coast in a German seaplane, came ashore in darkness in a collapSible boat, and were arrested few hours later in possession of radio transmitting and receiving apparatus capable of communicating with the continent. They carried large sums of English currency.

Chairman Reynolds (D-NC)
said that the White House YER
sion, which would permit the

sary for defense, was too broad.
He and Senator Austin (R-Vt)

leaders, Vice President Wallace,

tee today Go a. m, E. S. IT, with
interest centering on differences
between President Roosevelt and
House tax experts as to the bet
ter formula for determining the
amount of excess profits taxes
corporations should pay.
Under the House formula, ten
tatively approved two weeks

two alternatives. It could take
credit for 8 per cent Of the first

plus 7 per cent of the sum above
that amount, or else it could take
a credit equal to IS per cent Of

ting up 10 per cent Of invested
capital as the most a company
could earn without becoming

Property Seizure Bill
An Answer TO Demands
inventor Reported Asking Huge
Sem fos New Secret War Weopon

owASlIINGTON, July l7-B
Reports df . new secret wea-
pom for the nations land forces
cropped up, today In connection
with the Administration's Prop
erty Seizure bill a Congress
pressed ahead on two other
pieces Of emergency Legislation
the new. $3, 504, 400, 900 tax
measure and q sweeping price
stabilizatioii' proposal.
The Army's inability thus far
to obtain the right to manufac-
ture the reported secret weapon
was said to have been described
to the Senate Military Commit
tee as . pressing reason for
quick approval Of the Property
Seizure Legislation.
Some committee members
said they were informed the
War department was experience
ing considerable difficulty in
obtaining detailed plans for the
weapon, described ~ . type Of
gun. -
The inventor, the committee.
men said, was represented as
demanding an extraordinarily
large sum before he would
make detailed drawings avail
able.
Under terms Of the proposed
Legislation these plans could be
seized, and a valuation set on
them by the President. II the
inventor declined to accept this
figure, he would be paid Is per
cent of the amount the Presi-
dent fixed and could appeal to
the courts to set . final price.
Meanwhile, far-reaching re-
visions were predicted In the
