Undermine German Morale Is Object Of Broadcast
 Into Germany
(By United Press)

CUndated) British radio stations and the new freedom radio" con- tinued today to broadcast to Ger many and German occupied cour- tries programs calculated to under mine German morale and authority as part of the W" campaign, the Allied war of nerves.
 London broadcast first that Rob- ert Ley, Nad labor front leader, was about to visit bombed areas of west ern Germany, the United Press list ening post in New York reported. London promised that Royal Air Force planes would visit Ley while he was in the bombed areas. It re- minded Germans that nine months ago Ley boasted that London was 8 sea of flames and that soon he would organize Nazi pleasure trips to the : Devastated Island of England"
 London then invited German workers to ask Ley why Hitler, Goer- ing and other big Nazis did not visit the bombed areas.

Rigid Restriction On Goods Which Japan Is In Need

 \ JAPAN MAY STRIKE
 FRENCH INDO-C CHINA Hitler Putting Pressure On France To Yield To All Demands Of Japan
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent


 London, July 23. --- (UP)-- Usually well informed finan- cial quarters received inti- nations today that Great Britain and the United States were making preparations to freeze Japanese assets, either arbitrarily or as a reprisal in event of a Japanese blow at French Indo- China.
 Diplomatic quarters had reported previously that Britain and Amer- lea after full discussion, had agreed on measures to be taken in event that Japan seized new bases in Indo-China.
 These informants, predicting that Japan would strike within two or three days to seize the great Canl- ranh naval base and other strategic areas, had suggested that as~ g first move Britain and the United States might impose rigid restricv tions on goods which Japan needs.
 Some exports suggested that in view of the reports of possible freez- ing of Japanese assets that the Japanese government, whtch 1t was assumed would have received information through it's own chan nels, might reconsider its position.
 Menace Britain, U. S. Any reprisals against a Japanese thrust into Indo-China might be based on the belief that Japanese domination of that southeastern corner of Asia would menace Brit ish and American interests directly.
 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden took note in the House of Commons today of the indications of an im- minent Japanese move in the Far East, warning Tokyo to keep hands off Thailand and underlining Bril- tain's lack of designs upon either Thailand or Indo- China.
 Adolf Hitler was reported to be putting pressure on the Vichy gov- ernment to yield to Japan. Diplomats here inclined to be- lieve that Japan might not strike at Siberia for the persent. if only be- cause of Russia's strong forces there. Non Russian sources esti- mate Russia's far Eastern army at so divisions, or upward of 900.00O men, including some mechanical formations, in addition to strong air force.
 Eden said he regarded as signifl- cant that the Japanese press cam paign of innuendo against Britain, charging that the British had de- signs on both Indo- China and Trailand. coincided with persistent reports that Japan herself plans action in the South Pacific.
 Making 8 written reply in the House of Commons to an inquiry by Robert Morgain, national conserva- tive, Eden said:

TERROR TO LAGGARDS
 IN HARVARD COLLEGE
Three Generations Knew Him At Harvard-KnOWn
 Also For Eccentricities

Barnstable, Mass, July 23. - (UP) = George Lyman Kittredge, 81, the nations foremost s h a kesperian a n scholar and known to three generations of Harvard stu dents for his eccentricities, died today at his summer home after several months illness. A Terror to Laggards in his famous English II" course, Kittredge retired in 1886 as Gurney professor of English literature after serving on the Har- card College faculty 48 years.
 His death was caused by age and a complication of several ailments according to pr. Conrad Wesselhoeft who attended him.
 Kittredge was born in Boston and graduated from Harvard in ttt class of 1882. Though he held de- grees from several colleges includ- ing Oxford, he never obtained a doctorate of philosophy.
 Questioned once as to why he never had received this honor, Kit tredge replied:
 "Who is there to examine Kit tredge?"
 An international authority on Chaucer as well as Shakespeare, 1t had been said of Kittredge that if all of Shakespeare's works were de- stroyed, he could re-write them perfectly from memory.
 Tall and slightly stopped, with a white, Santa Claus beard, Kilt redge was regarded with awe and admiration by undergraduates who

 Germany and Russia traded heavy blows, including another Nazi aii smash at Moscow, on an 1,800-mile front today and Japan appeared cr the verge of moving into French Indo- China.
 The persistent discrepancy oi German and Russian accounts ot military developments continued with agreement on only one point-- that extremely heavy fighting i; going on in all sectors from the Finnish front North of Leningrat to the Southern Ukraine. German accounts claimed:
 That Moscow suffered additional heavy damage in another big ail attack last night; that repeated Soviet counter-attacks and efforts to break out of encirclementS hac been beaten back with heavy Rus sian losses; that German forces ane their allies continue to sweep for ward on all fronts and to develop further encirclements. Russian accounts said: The attack on Moscow was com paratively light, no military objec. tiveS were hit, several dozen per sons were killed and wounded anc some fires started. The German: were said to have lost Is of the 15t planes that participated in the at' tack.
 Admit Nazi Advance
 On the fighting fronts the Rus slans admitted German advance to the Zhitomir area, 30 miles wesi of Kiev and to the Petrozayodsh region, le0 miles northeast of Len ingrad.
 The Russians also charged thai the Germans are preparing to .em' pioy poison gas and submitted lengthy alleged documents seized from German military field head quarters in support of the aiiesa' ton.

Many Cities Were Hammer ed Today - Public De-

London, July g - (UP) - The Royal Air Force was reported to- day to have smashed at Frankfurt am- Main, Manneheim, Dunkirk, Rotterdam and Ostend as a demand rose in parliament that the new British air offensive be extended to include Berlin in reprisal for Nazi air attacks on Moscow.
 Air Minister Sir Archibald Sim clair did not indicate whether the RAF was prepared to add Berlin to its schedule during the present period of comparatively brief hours of darkness.
 However, Sinclair insisted that RAF day and night attacks on Ger many and the occupied territories had compelled Germany to main- tain large air force ip the west to fend of the British attacks.
 T had better not say what our information is regarding the move ment of the Luftwaffe," Sinclair told parliament, but certainly the attacks by day and night are bring ing strong pressure to bear on the Germans and we know they are having considerable effect on the morale of the German people" No Parity as Yet

 Late Sport Neys HIS Stock Prices
Evening star., 1941-10-12

But still we could swing it, couldn't we?"
"Of course we could. And oh, Jim, we'd be
together all day!'
Through their thoughts had run all the
sentimental things about man on his own
land. There was all the poetry about the
good earth which realistic words like mort
gage" failed - then - to blemish. Besides,
prunes brought fine prices; how were they
to know that prices slide down and down?
And figures on paper are one thing, but what
chicken eats somehow amounts to quite
another thing so hens feed can do its
share in damaging romance.
1t had done more than that. Anxiety had
made Anna wise and resourceful, but in an
odd way had thrown Jim back into a boyish
helplessness. Jim would have been magnif-
cent, perhaps masterful, with success. Now
his spirit threshed with the sense of failure,
loss Of ease, all the lost years. Anna knew
that since he'd known the San Francisco
woman, the lost years had seemed worst of
ALL Il was a fool ever to buy this outfit"
he'd thrown out again last week. my gosh,
everyone's got the right to have some fun
out of lifep'
Fun" Anna had echoed. She'd wanted to
say something about contentment, and get
ting along, but they seemed stuffy and made
quate words, even as her throat frightened.
You've forgotten how other people live,"
he told her bitterly, and she knew for certain
that Mrs. Herrod had reminded him.
I'VE have each other" she answered. But
humbly she recognized that beside that
woman having her wouldn't seem much.
It's fine valley to play in," Jim had gone
on. "Or, if had hundred acres, it might be
okay too. But this scrap of land! tell you,
you have to do things on grand scale these
days. There isn't room for little fellows"

Unless they're satisfied to be little, jim /"
She wanted to add: we can get along. we can
make it, just. can teach Mary Lou not to
mind doing without things. How much does
it hurt people anyhow to get along without
some things they believe they must have?
But beside anything she might say, there
would be Mrs Herrod's more picturesque
sayings. Standing now, with the biscuits in
the oven, Anna considered that everyone
wanted something, even the young, rich Mrs.
Herrod, who wanted Jim. A girl like that,
who's pretty, and has money left by COM
fortably dead husband to buy her prettiness
what it needs - she can get what she wants
better than other people. If she wants man,
for example, can't she get him?
Before he'd gone down the road, Jim had
stood there with Anna under the pepper tree
like an embarrassed boy. He'd kept his dark
eyes from her, fixed on the road he was going
to take. Anna didn't know how to keep him
from it. After all, he could have tossed off
something too casually about dropping in on
a neighbor; could have said he just wanted
to see how the pickers were doing.
Ii bring her into 1t, Anna thought, it
puts name to everything. l can't stand
talking about it. Not yet.
Guess I'll have little walk, he had said.
There was a young crack to his voice. 1t
came to Anna that if you didn't know any
thing about Jim, if you didn't know he had
daughter of seventeen, you'd never believe
his age. She knew he didn't himself. There
was that saying about man being only as

rigid. saying nothing. What, Jim?" she said
at last, aware of his moving lips.
Il said we're only young once, he repeated
unhappily. He never looked back as he went
down the road.
The biscuits were finally ready, and Anna
went to get her sweater. She took it for
granted, as Californians do, that with the
vanished sun chill would arise. She heard
car come up the dirt drive. Had Mrs. Herrod
driven Jim back in her smart. shining coupe?
Her heart thudded, then she heard Mary Lou
cry, BE seeing you" and heard car back
and scuttle away. For moment she felt re-
prieved. then began to wonder desperately
what she would say to their daughter if her
father just did not come.

old as he felt. What is that young feeling?
Anna wondered dumbly. Carefully she tried
to figure: When you're young you expect
changes; as the years go on, you just expect
things to 60 ON as they are.
IF only could sell!" Jim had exclaimed.
oU know we can't" They'd bought in
1927, when prices were tops If anyone wanted
orchards now, they bought where mortgages
were foreclosed. Even Mrs. Herrod had done
that with her few acres, though with her the
meaning of the fruit was nothing; her trees
were valuable to her when they blossomed
and she was the center of their bouquet.
But Anna looked at their own land with
love; though it had betrayed them, it was
theirs. She wanted to touch Jim's hand and
tell him that betrayal shouldn't make his

time. Surely Jim would come back before
supper! Setting the table, Anna asked herself
what she could say to Mary Lou if her father
were not there when she returned. He drove
to the Association to see if the crop prices
were fixed - He's gone to San Francisco"
But Mary Lou would notice that their old
car was still in the garage.
When Jim had been in San Francisco last
week, had he gone to her fiat on Telegraph
Hill? Mrs. Herrod had not been here in the
valley. Years ago, when Anna and Jim had
first found each other, they used to walk on
Telegraph Hill, two little people with the
world before them. How'd you like to live
up here some day, Anna darling?" -. "Oh,
Jimmy, if you want to, know we will"
The $1,000 Jim had inherited when his
father died was like fortune. Listen, Anna,
