mutual diStruSt between England and
U. S. S. r., there is ample historical
background for believing that Stain may
not trust the good faith of England's
and Americas friendship, and may be-
lieve that the military arguments against
immediate establishment of second
front are but cloaks concealing the true
political reasons. In fact, his repeated
insistence on the second front is indis-
putable evidence that he does not accept
these military arguments.
I believe that the phrase "any other
aggressive power" may refer not only
to the Axis powers, but to us-perhaps
England more than America, but never
theless, all of us who have obligations to
assist the Soviet Union. In other words,
he is saying If you believe you can
allow Russia to defeat Germany for
you but be powerless from exhaustion at
the end of the struggle, you are mis-
taken"
= obviously cannot prove the correct
ness OF this Interpretation of Stains
ambiguous statement, but it appears
plausible enough to be worth considera-
ton. Hence it is pathetic to read the
comment from London that it is a
healthy sign that the United Nations
are now so friendly that they can criti-
clze each other openly without rancor.
Stains statement appears to me to
carry all the rancor possible short of an
ultlmatum. am not here pleading for
or against Stalin's point of view, but for
realization of the seriousness of the
schism between the STEP brothers in the
family of United Nations.

Mats Get League
Blank Check on
Niqht Games
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The Wash
ington Nationals today were given
permission by the American League
to play all of their home games
under the lights except on Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays.
Before becoming official, however,
the circuits action must be approved
by the National League at the Joint
session this afternoon. The Mats al
ready are permitted to play 81 night
games, seven more than any other
major league club.
President Will Harridge of the
American League didn't give a rea-
son for the circuits action, but it was
believed falling attendance at Wash
ington day games led to the ap-
proval of Clark Griffith's request.
Harridge also said the American
League favored playing 154 games,
as usual, next year but would like to
start the season later and end it
earlier, thus creating more double
headers. The suggestion of Jack
zeller, general manager of the De-
troit Tigers, that southern training
trips be abandoned was not con-
Sidered.
President Ford Frick of the Ma
tional League said he had nothing to
announce until after the joint meet.

First Call for Men
In 1-B May Be Made
Up Of Volunteers
Many Rejected Before
Asking Boards to Put
Names at Top Of List

So many men previously de-
ferred because of physical de-
fects are asking their draft
boards to put their names at the
top of their 1-B lists that the
first call for 1-B men may be
made up entirely of volunteers,
local selective service headquar-
ters disclosed today.
This is the first opportunity men
rejected by Army or local board
doctors have had to get into the
service and many of them appar-
emily are rushing to be included in
the August call.
Local headquarters announced
last Friday that limited number of
1-B men would be called in August
and that the men would be called in
the order in which they appear on
their local board order lists. If the
present rate of volunteering con-
tinues, however, the August quota
will be made up entirely of volun-
teerS, 1t was said.
A number of borderline cases,
those who were rejected some
months ago but now think they
could pass the Army physical, are
volunteering on the chance that
Army doctors might now consider
them fit for general military service,
in which case they would be in
Quoted as la men.
The 1-B group, which includes
men with one eye, deafness in one
ear or less than the normal num-
Der of fingers and toes, among other
defects, will be used in corps area
service commands and War De-
partment Overhead, releasing almost
an equal number of able-bodied SOL
diers for combat duty.
Local boards are already sending
the first of the 1-B group for their
board physical examinations. Ten
per cent OF all the registrants sent
for their board physicals this month
will be from the 1-B group.

Principal Change
Would Ruise Churqe
From Zone !
Earlier Story on Page R-1.)

Earlier Story on Page B-1.)
A new and simplified zone and
rate schedule was submitted to
the Public Utilities Commission
late today by drivers of six taxi
cab companies as a basis for So
luton of the troublesome taxicab
problem. The major change pro-
posed would raise the commits
ion-approved rates from so to
80 cents for transportation from
Zone into areas beyond Mime
sofa avenue Sc.
The new schedule was presented
by John H. Royer, IT,, president of
the Combined Cab Service. Inc,
which represents six taxicab COM
panies-the Arrow, Bell, Checker,
Premier, Washington and Yellow.
The petition was accompanied bv
affidavits signed by 800 of the 1900
drivers identified with the six COM
panies. Mr.. Royer said he expected
the balance of the drivers to sign
before a scheduled conference with
the commission over the zone and
rate dispute at 10 am. Wednesday.
The petition specifically asks
that the commissions zone map be
printed in "a simpler and clearer
FORM" showing only four boundary
lines and six divisional lines. 1t
further urged that the eastern
boundary line of the second zone
and the north and eastern boun-
Diary lines of the third zone be
changed.
The drivers recommended that the
eastern boundry line of the second
zone be as follows: Montana avenue
to Bladensburg road, Bladensburg
road to Seventeenth street Sc, and
then south to the Anacostia River:
and that the southern boundary of
the eastern line be changed to read
as follows: The Anacostia River
from Seventeenth street Sc. to P
street Sc, west on P street to the
Washington Channel.
The changes recommended in the
north and eastern boundary lines of
the third zone would include Pea
body street NV to North Dakota
avenue and continuing east on
South Dakota avenue Sc. to Thirty
fifth street and then south on Thir-
ty-flfth street across the Anacostia
River to Clay street NE. to Benning
road to Minnesota avenue and then
south on Minnesota avenue to Six
teenth street Sc. to w street and

NEW YORK, July 6.-Gerhard
Wilhelm Kunze, described by
Federal authorities as the former
fuehrer of the German-Ameri-
can Bund in this country, was
held in $4,000 bail today on a
Federal charge of violating the
Selective Service Act.
The 36-year-old Kunze, arrested
only few days ago in Mexico and
returned to this country in great
secrecy, was arraigned before Fed
eral Judge George c. Sweeney on
the specific charge of failing to no.
tify his local draft board of his
whereabouts.
Kunze is under indictment by a
Hartford Comm Federal grand
jury on charge of violation of the
1917 Espionage Act and it was
for this reason plus the fact Kunze
had been a fugitive that Assistant
United States Attorney Howard
Corcoran sought and obtained the
high bail.
Obviously nervous, coatless but
wearing a vest and faded brown
shirt, Kunze was f1anked by Federal
Bureau of Investigation men during
his arraignment.
Kunze's draft registration showed
that he was born at Camden, N. j.,
in 1906.
If convicted on the selective serv-
ice charge, he could be sentenced to
maximum of five years in prison
and fined $4,000.
Mr.. Corcoran said that Kunze
would be released to Hartford au-
thorities this afternoon and that the
purpose of the New York arraign-
ment was to place the fugitive under
high bail before he Travelled farther.
Thomas j. Dodd, special assistant
United States attorney in Hartford,
said Kunze would be arraigned there
tomorrow at 10.am, .

enough to conclusively settle the
point" He did, however identify
the gun as a .33-caliber Colt.
Earlier in the day, Capt. Fowler
identified four bullets-two taken
from Mechanics body, and two re-
moved from tree in back of a
drive-in restaurant where Eklund
was employed-as being fired from
a .38-caliber revolver of the type
made by Colt.
He told the jury that the Colt
revolver was the only American
made gun bearing six rif1ing marks
twisting to the left inside the barrel.
The four bullets, he testified, bore
these distinguishing marks.
At the time of his examination of
the gun, Capt Fowler said this
afternoon, he found seven unfired
shells in it. This ammunition he
said, was similar to the four shells
he identified earlier.

Island Attack
Made. Ju|y4,
Navy Reveals
All Natives and Few
White Residents Are
Evacuated From Area
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Navy announced today
that United States submarines
had sunk three Japanese de-
stroyers in the Aleutian Islands
Saturday and had left a fourth
destroyer burning fiercely."
The Navy communique said:
North Pacific area:
81. On the Fourth of July United
States submarines torpedoed four
japanese destroyers in the Aleutian
Islands.
90 Three of these destroyers were
attacked at Kiska. Two were sunk
and the third, when last seen, was
burning fiercely.
%. The fourth destroyer was tor
pedoed and sunk at Agattu, where
enemy transports and escorting
vessels were located on July and
were attacked by Army bombers.'
Losses Raised to Five Ships Sunk.
Today's Navy report raised
Japan's losses in her efforts to es-
tablish occupation forces on the
Western Aleutians to five ships
sunk-three destroyers, one cruiser
and one transport-and nine dam
aged, including an aircraft carrier.
All the attacks prior to the In
dependence Day submarine ofen-
sive had been made by Army and
Navy aircraft, which have been
limited in their operations by the
lnfrequency of favorable weather.
Natives Are Evacuated.
All the natives and the few white
residents have been evacuated from
the Western Aleutian Islands and
from the Pribiloff Islands in the
Bering Sea north of Dutch Harbor,
William Zimmerman, jr.. assistant
Indian commissioner, reported to-
day.
Mr.. Zimmerman said the evac-
uees, numbering somewhat less than
1000, had been taken by the Navy
to Juneau, Alaska, where the In
dian bureau has provided housing.
The Japanese landing at Attu,
however, was said by Delegate Di-
mond of Alaska to have prevented
the evacuation of the few residents
of that island. There were no ma
tives at Kiska, where the japanese
also have landed.
Bombings Continue.
This has not deferred the Army
from bombing the enemys shore in
stallations and any other available
targets whenever a rift in the fog
permits. A Navy communique Sat-
urday reported four attacks by Army
bombers, supported by Navy patrol
planes, from June 81 to July 3.
Mr.. Zimmerman said the evacuees
included one or two white teachers,
three nurses and few white trad
ers. The others were native Aleuts.
Some $50 persons were evacuated
from the Pribilof Islands of st.
George and st. Paul, 80 from Atka,
small group from Umnak and
probably 120 persons will be removed
from Unalaska.
Mr.. Dimond said he had recon-
mended to the Navy that the natives
be evacuated from all of the west
ernmost Aleutian Islands to safe
guard them from injury and pos
Sible war action.

Senate, House
Still in Deadlock
On Farm Policy
Unable to Agree
On Fund to Run
Bureau for July
Earlier Story on Page Ally

Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
BY the Associated Press.
The long Senate-H House dead
lock over farm policy persisted
late today with the two chambers
unable to agree even to the ex-
tent of passing a resolution tC
tide the Agriculture Department
over temporarily until it's regular
appropriation bill can be enacted
The Senate, on voice vote, ap.
proved stop-gap legislation provid-
ing up to 500, $4,000 for the depart
ment's July operations and per-
mitting' the sale Of Government
owned grain for livestock feeding
without price limitations for this
month only.
In the House Representative
Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia, SUBJ
mitted similar legislation, making
available to the department for July
the appropriations which the Senate
and House previously have agreed
on and permitting it to meet its
regular payroll Wednesday. But
Representative Hope, Republican
of Kansas blocked its consideration
today when uncertainty developed
as to whether it would permit or
prohibit the sale of Government
owned grain for livestock feeding at
prices below parity.
The department has been techni-
cally without funds since June 30,
largely because the Senate and
House have not been able to agree
on a Senate provision in the money
bill, which would permit sales of
Government-held wheat at about
80 cents a bushel for livestock feed.
House Insists on Full Parity.
The House has insisted on full
parity, or $134 a bushel, for such
sales and included proviso of this
nature in a stop-gap measure it
passed last week and which was re-
vised today by the Senate commit
tee.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama disclosed that when the
bill was passed last year authorizing
Government loans up to IS per cent
of parity, he and other Senators
wrote Mr.. Roosevelt agreeing to sup
port change in policy which would
take benefit payments into account
when computing parity payment to
farmers.
The Senate wrote such a provision
into the s680,00O000 bill, but the
House thus far has refused to ac-
cept it. Senator Bankhead argued
this and other disputes could be
settled by 100 per cent parity loans,
as proposed in the pending measure.
Now No Appropriation.
There is now no appropriation
for parity payments" he told his
colleagues. IF the Senate yields,
there is possibility and maybe a
probability of a veto of the bill. If
the Senate yields and the President
does not veto the BILL then there
will be considerable reduction in
the amount received by farmers as
parity payments to complete parity
incomes"
Minority Leader McNary opposed
the full-parity bill, expressing belief
it would hurt wheat and corn pro-
ducers.
Senator Bankhead said he was in
formed that if Government sales of
wheat for feeding were not permit
ted at prices below parity, an in
crease of $1,000 100000 in the cost of
food to consumers would result.
