NEW YORK, July 80 (P.-The

German high command expects the
fall of Russias second city at any

today.
Neither the Russian nor the Ger

indicated confidence among the Ger
mans that the Russian resistance
before Leningrad is nearly at an end.
The German high command has
announced no definite gains on
which such feeling might be based,
but the advices to the Associated
Press indicated an assurance in high
quarters such as has preceded major
German successes in the past.
The Russians might abandon Len

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 30.-District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey an
nounced today in a seven-word
statement: Il shall not run for

pires this year.
The district attorney has had an
11-year role as a special prosecutor
and crusader against vice and rack
cts for the State and Federal gov
ernments.
Mr.. Dewey was an aspirant for the
Republican presidential nomination
last year. His four-year term as
Manhattans district attorney ex-
pires next December 81.
Repeatedly in the last few days
as the city's forthcoming fall elec-
ton candidates. began shaping up,
Mr.. Dewey's name was mentioned
as the possible choice of fusion lead
ers for the district attorneyship.
His friends had said that he was
giving careful consideration to his
political future and indicated he
would prefer not to run for district
attorney again for personal reasons.
He has been represented as hoping
that one of his staff would receive
the nomination.
Some observers said that mas
much as Mr.. Dewey has been promi-
nently mentioned as possible Re-
publican nominee for Governor next
year, the district attorney could not
afford politically to enter doubtful
city contest this year. He ran un-
successfully for the governorship
in 1898 after winning the Republican
nomination.

BERLIN, July 30.-Russia's
hold on Leningrad has become
highly precarious, informed GerS
mans declared tonight, because
of two drives on the Soviet
Unions second largest city.
The Germans said they were
completely satisfied with the prog
reSs of Finnish forces pushing on
the city from the north while from
the south and southwest the Ger
mans themselves are now applying
squeeze which they expect will
seal the city's fate.
German forces have wiped out
two Russian divisions west of Lake
Peipus, which forms most OF Es-
tonia's eastern frontier with the
Soviet Union, these sources said. and
a German thrust to the northwest
shore has blocked the narrow line
of Russian retreat along the Baltic
coast.
Pressure on this flank of the
eastern front was pictured as grow
ing steadily heavier.
At the same time the high COM
mand declared efforts of Red Army
forces to rescue trapped Russian
troops east of Smolensk had proved
costly failure and Germans again
reported fast approaching impor-
tant decisions.

River off Hams Point. where for
nearly two hours he eluded police.
park employees and a commandeered

The chase came to dramtic close
at the height of wind and rain
storm when a colored employe of
the Health Service scooped up The
sea-going simian with a net.
Six times the determined monkey
swan back to the seawall and each
time a net was swung over him he
returned to the river. On his
seventh return he was too exhausted
to leap free of the net-and the
chase was over.
Willows Serve as Jungle.
The pursuit began shortly after
noon when park police were in
formed a monkey was at large in
one of the willow trees. For nearly
an hour he played hide and seek
with three Health Service employees
who took turns reaching for him
with bamboo poles.
With all hands growing tired OF
the game, the monkey, shortly after
pm. dropped to the ground and III
three leaps-the last a perfect swan
dive-was in the Georgetown chan
mel.
Swimming peacefully as a large
crowd gathered, the monkey re-
turned four times to the wall for
breathing spells and each time sue
cessfully leaped clear of a net.
Park Policeman Arthur COOK
finally tagged down a passing speed
boat, which joined the chase. A
Health Service man got aboard with
a net. but every time he swung MS
net the monkey would sound and
break the surface again yards away
Makes Honorable Surrender.
Just when it appeared the animal
would drown rather than permit
capture he slowly padded to the
wall, where Leonard Price, colored
employe from the Health Service
laboratory, scooped him up in the
net. He was bundled off, apparently
none the worse for his escapade, to
the laboratories at Twenty-flfth and
E streets NV.
The skipper of the boat. fearing
for his craft with the wind and
