Riddle didn't pitch until he

He played second base until he

came not only foreign minister but
minister of overseas affairs as well.
The overseas portfolio had been
held by Kiyoshi Akita.
Toyoda ended 35 years of navy
service to enter the second Konoye
cabinet. He will be Sc years old in
August. but his real career began
with dispatch to London as naval
attache to the embassy there. He
was delegate to the London Naval
Conference.
He has peen a member OF the
Naval Staff College, chief of the
general affairs" section of the
naval technical department, COM
mander in chief of the Sasebo naval
station, director of the naval con-
struction department and director
of naval aviation headquarters.
Four Others Ousted.
Ousted, besides Matsuoka. were
ISao KaWada, finance minister;
Tsuneo Kanemitsu, welfare; Gotaro
Ogawa, railways, and Akita.
The last three were party men.
Their removal meant that the gov
ernment had been "cleansed 100 per
cent" as Domei expressed it, Of
party influence"
Prince Konoye has led the move
ment for elimination of Japanese
political parties. He has instituted
instead a campaign for a new ma
tional structure" which, aside from
being partyless. is still vague totali-
tartan concept so far as general
public knowledge goes.
Domei said KanemitSu. OgaWa and
Akita had been regarded in the old
cabinet as more or less representing
the interests of defunct political
groups"
New Home Minister.
Prince Konoye assumed the Office
of Minister of Justice himself.
Harumichi Tanabe, Communica-
tions Minister in the 1899 Hiranuma
cabinet, became Home Minister.
The Navy Minister is Admiral
Koshiro Oikawa. He and War Min
lister TOTO are holdovers from the
previous Konoye cabinet, which was
installed just year ago today and
resigned two days ago.
Vice Admiral Seizo Sakonji be-
came Minister of Commerce and
Industry, Toyoda's old post. The
Ministries of Communications and
Railways we're both taken by Shozo

cations portfolio.

on the road to Leningrad; in
Bessarabia. where the Germans evi-
IDENTIFY were pushing harder toward
Odessa, the Black Sea port; and the
Smolensk zone before Moscow there
was continuous roar of artillery
fire, the rapid shifting of mechanical
forces and the heavy action of
bombers.
The Soviets said they had de-
stroyed % German planes in air
battles and bombings yesterday in
exchange for loss of eight of their
own planes.
Russian advices pictured Red
Army troops hanging on to the dam
gerous fianks of the German salient
driven toward Moscow, offering pro.
longed and sometimes suicidal re-
sistance at many strong points far
behind the Nazi spearheads and
conducting ceaSeleSs guerrilla
warfare behind the lines.
Omitted from mention as a battle
zone was the Bobruisk area south
of the Smolensk salient where the
Red Army previously was reported
on the offensive. beating the Ger
mans back from the Dnieper River.
But on the other flank of the Smo-
lensk salient, the Soviet command
declared heavy fighting took place
at Polotsk, 140 miles to the rear of
the Smolensk spearhead.
1Polotsk, on the Dvina River to
tho oF
Vltebsk, was reported by DN.B.
to have been captured. 1t is on
an important rail line to the
Baltic from Moscow
The only sction reported on the
Finnish front was in the Arctic
Ocean off Rybachi Peninsula where
1t was said a German submarine
was sunk by mine.
1t was evident the Soviet COM
mand attached great importance to
the action of the Red air fleet in
delivering counter-bloWs to the Nazi
offensive. The communique said
many German aircraft were de-
Stroyed when Soviet planes attacked
German airfields, and trucks and
tanks were smashed in bombing of
panzer columns. Ninety-eight Ger
man planes had been destroyed the
past two days at an expense of only
% Soviet planes, it was claimed.
A glimpse of the fluid action at
the front was afforded by section
of the communique which asserted
Soviet commander of an artillery
battery dashed to an ambush with
one gun when he saw nine German
tanks and armored cars crossing q
bridge. While the Germans vainly
sought his cover with their shells.
the communique said, the Russian
fired shot after shot into the de-
tachment, destroying every vehicle

Halifax, Wife Cheer
As 1,0O0th Lockheed
Starts for Britain
Jimmy Mottern, Fomous
Pilot, Takes Bomber
From Burbonk PIunt
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 18.-Ihe
1,000th Lockheed bomber for Brit
ain took off dramatically for Eng
land yesterday with 10000 aircraft
workers cheering it on and Viscount
Halifax, British Ambassador, and
his wife bidding it Godspeed.
Jimmy Mattern, famous American
pilot, took the plane into the air
after Lord Halifax had addressed a
crowd at the Lockheed plant in
Burbank.
Just before Mattern gunned the
plane for the take-off, Lady Halifax
expressed England's appreciation
of the efforts of American aircraft
workers, and said
Now your labor takes wings. Go,
Jimmy Mattern, and God bless you -
| Halifax Addresses Workers.
Mr.. Mattern circled the factory
field twice, then flew into the east.
Lockheed officials said he would not
take the plane all the way to Eng.
land, but did not disclose its timer
ary.
Lord Halifax addressed the work.
ers during their lunch period. In
an earlier press conference. he
touchedTon the situation in Iceland
There was some evidence of oppo-
sition to the Ambassador visit,
however. When he emerged from
the Los Angeles City Hall, where he
had visited Mayor Fletcher Bowron,
he was forced to walk through a
picket line of women carrying anti
Halifax, anti-British and anti-war
placards.
Around the Lockheed plant, too,
some 20 women paraded. One, who
led a small girl, carried a sign
Here's one bundle the British won't
get"
Lord and Lady Halifax flew to
San Francisco last night. There he
will visit a number of shipbuilding
plants and meet high-ranking Army
and Navy officers. He will address
the Commonwealth Club luncheon
today.
Lord Halifax told San Francisco
newSmen at press conference that
he visited the Pacific Coast to see
as much as 1 can of the two princi-
pal lines in which you people are
helping us-ships and planes"
The aid, he added, is quite in
valuable"
Lord Halifax said he expected to
return to England in two or three
weeks to tell the British people the
extent America is turning out ma
terials for their war effort.
Then, too, he said. Il want to ex-
/ change views with Prime Minister
Churchill and bring myself up to
date on what's happening over
there"
Discusses Russian Campaign.
Hitler has taken on big commit
ment in fighting Russia and he's
suffering many more casualties than
he expected, the Ambassador said,
terming the German move into
Russia definitely to Britain's ad-
vantage"
Why did Hitler move in there?
/ I've been puzzled about that, too.
For supplies, maybe, although l
don't think he made serious effort
to negotiate. Fear of an invasion
of his Eastern flank while he battles
us NAV be the explanation, but who
knows?"
