Superintendent Curtin said this morning that he investigated the &C., cident when he was informed. He reported that William CosS, park caretaker, and his crew of men, had left the pool grate only half open SO that the outflow of water would not flood the ball field.

 It was the sixth attack on Mos- COW and followed 8 one night lull in which no Nazi planes came over the city. AS in previous attacks Soviet anti-aircraft batteries kept the Nazi planes at extreme attitudes, sending up @ steady shower of pro- tectiles high into tht sky.
 The cgHamunique reported that four or five planes penetrated to Moscow of the 140 to 150 which made the attack. The Russians credited themselves with shooting down nine planes on the basis of in- complete data.
 No losses among the Soviet night fighter force were reported.
 Bombs fell on dwelling houses, the official report said, starting fires which were said to have been ex- tinguished quickly. There were only a few casualties reported.
 Night Battles
 On the military front this morn- ing's communique indicated that all night battles were fought in the Smolensk, zhitomir and Nevel re- gions but that in other sectors no important operations occurred.
 The days first communique, like communiques of the last few days, indicated strongly that the Russians were not only holding their lines along the eastern front but were taking the initiative to an increas- ingly greater extent, striking hard and swiftly whenever the opportu- nity arose.
 Further, both the air force and navy remained active.
 The communique said Russian planes, cooperating with land forces, raided big German troop concentra- tions yesterday and attacked grounded planes on German air. dromes.
 Revised reports showed that 109 German planes were shot down Saturday.
 Baltic coast defense forces and navy planes sank German de- stroyer and two patrol ships, it was ,asserted, and 1t was admitted that one Russian destroyer had been lost.

Except for the vague suspicious attaching to these two men, au- thorities said, the 12-day investi- gation virtually has reached a dead end. More than a score of other suspects have been definitely elin- mated.
 Possibility that Frances was raped and slain indoors, and her body deposited in the woods where 1t was found, was considered by District Atty. Hugh A. Gregg today.
 The new theory was based on an autopsy report received from Medi- cal Examiner Ignatius zielinski of Salem. The report showed that two gashes were inflicted on the girls forehead, one of them severing an artery; that tree branch was inc serted 3 1-2 inches into her throat, cutting, of all breathing; that her abdomen and legs were bruised; that she had been burned on the neck and chin; and. that she had been crininally attacked immedi- ately before or after death.
 Death was due to suffocation," !" Gregg said, although one of the blows on her forehead, which sever- ed an artery, could have caused her death. There was no evidence of manual strangulation."
 Gregg said that the fact that blood gushing from the severed ar- tery had trickled into her hair and dried there showed she was lying on her back when wounded.

Satisfactory Report Report
 New York, July 29. (UP) = John Maynard Keynes, British economist, left for home by Pan American Clipper today to make what he called "a very satisfactory and encouraging report" on United States defense efforts.
 Keynes came here some months ago at the request of Sir Kingsley Wood, British Chancellor of the eXchequer, "to discuss various mat ters with your treasury and others he said.
 He conferred twice with President Roosevelt and many times with Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor genthau, Jr, with very satisfactory results" he said, and will so report to Wood.
 He said he was "very much en- couraged" by the United States de- fense program and that he found "The good will very striking"
 AS to the bearing of American aid on Britain's battle, it Is now only matter of time, and there can be only one result" he said.
 Keynes was accompanied by his wife, Lydia; his secretary, Mrs. Margaret s. Stephens, and L. P. Thompson of the Bank of England, his assistant on the mission here.

said the United States was resort ing to threats against Japan with out taking "direct action because first 1t Is not fully ready to fight Japan and secondly because 1t thinks Japan can still be bluffed."
 "There is only one course for Japan at this juncture," said the ultra a.nationalistic 2Kokunin, "be- cause Britain, the United States and other countries in their camp have plainly displayed their econ omic and military power against Japan.'
 Discussing President Roosevelt's incorporation of the Philippines defense forces into the United States forces, Kokumin said:
 This means that the United States had taken e step forward from an- t.-Japanese economic war to a pre- lirninary military measure against Japan. It may be said that the fi- ture trend of the far eastern Situa-- tion has thus been made decisive"
 Regarding the various ''anti- Japanese action" of the United States, Kokinin said:
 "These measures must be regarded as the embodiment of dangerous and malignant policy of checking Japans further development, or a policy of ercircling Japan and suf- locating her."
