 Japan today is decidedly spy conscious. Strangely enough this development coincides with the ar rival of hundreds of Germans. some of whom have definite official places in the business of censorship and allied matters.
 Another foreigner. this time newspaperman, invited a Jara- nese friend to have lunch with him, and the next day stern police were on hand to warn the Japa- nese against such associations. They wanted to know in detail what the two had talked about.

WASHINGTON - For 29 long years Henry Fountain Ashurst rep resented the State of Arizona in the Senate, was the Senate's most dis tinguished orator, most polished gentleman and the Judiciary Com mittees most powerful member. When he was defeated the Senate mourned. felt he never could be re- placed.
 The man who defeated him has sat in the Senate for eight long months completely mute. Ashurst' always a gentleman, called him fine Senator and a fair opponent; but other Senators said nothing. Even in the press gallery few Knew who he was. No one could say definitely where he stood. He had voted for defense measures, but lln- ed up with the isolationists against the draft extension bill.
 Undoubtedly this was why sen ator Wheeler made Ernest w. NC Farland the fifth member of the isolationist packed committee to ln- vestigate Hollywood. He was count ed on to be mere figurehead, non troublesome window dressing.
 Little did Wheeler realize he was to become a Fifth Columnist.
 Secret strategy of the isolationists was to launch barrage of scorch- ing attacks on the movies by Sen- ators Nye and Bennett Clark. CO., authors of the investigation, and other hand picked sharpshooters. And with no critical questioning anticipated from the manipulated committee, the isolationists were counting on big publicity jamboree all their own way.
 But the man who took Ashurst's place in the Senate completely fool ed them.
 Out of clear sky and to the goggle-eyed astonishment of the four isolationist probers, rookie Sen ator Mcfarland subjected Nye and Clark to a grilling that had them

Marshal Petain declared that to

That new order, built on the grave

of Odessa and Nikolaev they will

factories and empty streets Soviet
quarters in London said today.
They predicted that Marshal
Semeon Budyenny's troops will ex-
tract an awful cost in blood as a
toll for any German gateway to the
Black Sea.
Thousands of Russian tanks, an
mistaken infantry and tens of thou
sands of hard-hitting Cossack horse

tacks' at Field Marshal Gen. Gerd

The Russians agreed with British
military quarters that the situation
in the Ukraine was grave but they
said it was far from hopeless. They
ridiculed German claims of having
encircled the Soviet forces in the
Odessa and Nikolaev sectors.

An officer in the War Office
specializing in Russian information
asserted in a detailed analysis of
the campaign that the Germans had
had a very large measure of sue

they had overrun an area already
as large as Germany before Hitler.
The officer added. however, that
if Russia could maintain troops in
the field with adequate supplies
they would be able to fight in
definitely. The German problem,
he said, would be one of Tending

vancing down the northeast shore
of Lake Ladoga have been halted

tinuous fighting here. and the Ger
mans have reached point so miles
from the important Murmansk-
Leningrad railway.
Estonian sector: The Germans
have made some progress in Estonia
in the last three days, threatening
the important Soviet naval base at
Tallinn. With the fighting around
Kholm, east of Estonia, the Ger
mans are believed aiming at iso-
lating Leningrad, defenses of which
are described as too strong" to be
taken.
SmolenSk sector: Considerable
fighting reported in areas north and
south of the Pinsk marshes. A
mounting German push south of
the marshes may develop into a
strong push toward Kiev.

ton has deteriorated rapidly and
