Jesuit Priest Suggests Cannonical Engagements
 in Catholic Cases

Newton, Mass, August IS. = (UP), - A Jesuit author suggests "canonical engagements" for Cath olic couples who hesitate about marrying now because of the war but want to feel that they 'belong to each other.
 The Rev. Edward Bowling told a group at the Boston College School of Catholic Action yesterday that the canonical engagement rite sell dom was used by the church but that 1t had valuable psychological benefits.
 In this church rite, he explained, the couple pledge their troth in the presence of two witnesses and a priest and deposit copy of the contrast with the pastor of the girls church. Serious injury to either party would invalidate the contract, which also may be broken by mutual consent.
 Father Bowling approved war marriages based on enduring love" rather than on transient interests"
 "If this is going to be a long war, why should we cheat this generation of marriage" he asked. "If it's go- ing to be a short war, see no ser ious inconveniences for these mar riages."
 He drowned on betting" court ships because physical intimacy, far from developing mutual under standing, tends to build up a moral ghetto to which the couple con demn themselves for the rest of their lives"

Germans Retreated In Drive On Stalingrad
Suffered So Many Defeats in That Sector They Were Forced to Withdraw; Nazis Push Ahead at
 North Caucasus
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

(UnlCe0 FTeSS SCa1f COrfeSpOndenC)
 Moscow, Aug. 18-(UP)-The Ger mans have suffered so many defeats in their au-out assaults southwest of Stalingrad and the Volga river line that they have retreated sev- eral kilometers and are entrench- ing themselves in new defense lines, front-line dispatches revealed today.
 Not only have the Germans re- treated, the Russians have attacked on several sectors and occupied new positions northeast of Kotelnikonski, including important heights these dispatches said.
 Kotelnikovski is 90 miles south west of Stalingrad.
 The Germans, however, were con- tinuing to probe the Russian lines trying to find a weak spot.
 Not only had the Germans with drawn southwest of Stalingrad; to the northwest, in the Kletskaya area, 75 miles away, massed Russian artil- lery moved down Nazi shocktroops and tanks, and the Soviet noon com munique indicated that both prongs of the frenzied Nazi offensive on Stalingrad were being firmly held.
 Defensive Combats
 Official dispatches told of "heavy defensive combats" against a con- stant stream of German tank and infantry endorsements southwest of Kletskaya.
 The Germans succeeded in mak- ing dangerous penetration in the central sector southeast of Klet-

(NEA Radiophoto)

With over 1000 employees of the Scovill Manufacturing Company slated to vote tomorrow in an NLRB election, the CIO today predicted an overwhelming majority" in its favor. Voting will be from 5:45 8. m. to 6:15 p. m.
 Al Skinner, director of the organ izing campaign carried on by the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union at the Scovill plant, charged that there have been Obvious at- tempts of the Scovill management to influence the election against the union"
 MT. Skinner said that the letter received by Scovill employees yester- day was mot the type of letter" re- quested by Mrs. Elinor Herrick, re- gional NLRB director, after she had upheld union complaints that pre- vious newsletter" and company pa- per had made statements which were in violation of fair labor prac- tices. He said that the company let ter, though not making retraction, "is in our opinion an admission of guilt"

War Bride Facing Bigamy Charge By Mother-In-Law

Police said they had no choice except to hold Mrs. Johnson until the War Department or an appro- priate government authority ruled on the case.
 Her new husband, a 21-year-old proprietor of a doughnut, shop. said that he would "see her through this affair if 1t takes every cent I've got"
 Mrs. Johnson said that she mar ried Williams two days before he was sworn into the Navy when she was IS years old. She met him, she said, while working as a maid in the Williams home. After their marriage he left for training and she remained with her mother-in- law, where she lived until her mar riage to Johnson. She has not seen Williams, she said, since he came home on leave in March of 1941.

GENERAL DRAFT
 OF MARRIED MEN
Those Under 46 Who Have Dependents May Be
 Called Shortly

Boston, Aug. 18-(UP)-A genera. draft of married men under 46 with dependents will come fin the not far distant futre," 8 spokesman for Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey's na- tional selective service board pre- dicted today.
 Public Relations Director Ted Luther, speaking at the 52d annual reunion of Legion of Valor members, said the ation's reservoir of IA men was practically exhausted" and that 1t now would be necessary to obtain soldiers from 1-B and 3-A classes.
 "The selective service board is most anxious to avoid breaking up homes and families" Luther said. But because of the few men in 1-B classification and the smaller num- Der that can be obtained from among those reaching 20 years of age each month it will be necessary to take those with depedents."
 Number of Dependents
 Luther said he believed the num- Der of dependents each man had might influence" the order in which he would be called. He believed

PAY LICENSE TO
 MAKE NOISE NOW
Labor Leader Disgruntled That It Was Started at
 This Time

Alex Cashin, state coordinator of the International Mine. Mill and , Shelter Workers Union said today that union officials are 'disgruntled' at Police Chief William J. Roach's action in placing the sound truck licensing provision of the anu-noise ordinance in effect on the eve of the union election at the Scovill Manufacturing Company.
 MT. Cashin said that yesterday for the first time the union was obliged to pay $5 for a permit to operate its sound truck in connec- ton with its campaign to obtain official recognition as bargaining agent for the employees of Scovill's The election will be held tomorrow.
 Superintendent Roach could not be reached for comment. MT. Cash in said to his knowledge the sound truck fee system was not in effect before yesterday. we were operat- ing our truck before yesterday with out 8 license, and as far as we knew the license system did not become effective until yesterday" he said.
 The CI.O. is continuing it's cam paign to have the anti-noise ordi- nance modified to eliminate the requirement that payment be made for permits to operate sound trucks. A committee met last Friday with a committee of the board of alder men and will be present at the next meeting of the board when the con- mittee'S report is presented.
 we are in accord with the ordi- nance to curtail unnecessary noises" !" said MT. Cashin. But we believe that the system used in Bridgeport to control the operation of sound trucks is better adapted for use here Ihan the present control. In Bridge sort the chief of police has author. Ay for the issuance of permits for Ine use of sound trucks but there is no fee required. What we object +a ia the payment of the AS fee"

Allies, Russia Are In Complete Agreement
No Real News Has Come Out of Moscow Conference; But Conduct of War for Future Is Thoroughly
 Understood By Leaders
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of The United Press War Desk)

While 1t is useless to speculate on what decisions may have been reach ed at the unprecedented conference between Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin, one conclu- sion may justifiably be drawn. A complete understanding exists be- tween the Allied governments and Russia on the conduct of the war.
 The Churchill visit to Moscow rounds out the understanding reached when Foreign Commissar Molotov visited London and Wash ington earlier this summer. The British announcement implied agreement on mutual grand strat- egy when 1t said:
 "A number of decisions were reached covering the field of the war against Hitlerite Germany and her associates in Europe"
 One thing may be taken for granted, that the Russians expect to continue the war through another winter and are assured of the ut- most Allied support. The latter ulOSC pIOUdUAy ALlCAuucS ocCOlO front, not necessarily this year, but almost certainly by next Spring.
 After Admiral William H. Stand ley, United States ambassador to Russia, talked with Molotov last week, he stated Russia is convinced its army will remain intact and that if it loses the north Caucasus, 1t can stand indefinitely on the Volga or. if necessary in the Ural Moun- tainS.
 The present rate of Nazi progress does not indicate that the Germans will get beyond the Volga this year, If they get that far.
 Oil Fields Gone
 The Maikop oil fields have fallen and the loss of the larger Grozny fields seems probable. The Germans also are threatening the Black Sea Ports of Novorissisk and Tuapse. There Is no concealing the gravity | of the situation. but these victories | would not defeat Russia.
 The great Baku fields on the Cas- plan still remain. Their loss would | be terrific blow, but 1t is far from |

Primary Contests Of Democrats Are Warm
18th and 10th Senatorial Battles May Leave Some Scars Before Results Are Known at Friday
 Primary Voting

Democratic primary contests that promise to leave lasting scars were underway today in both the 18th and 16th senatorial districts, with the city administration opposed in each case by an independent candi- date. The primaries will be held Friday, from 1:30 to 9:30 p. m.
 In the 18th district, made up of the first, second and third wards, Senator Michael V. Blansfield is a candidate for renomination. With Mayor Vincent A. Scully as one of the delegates on his ticket, he has organization support.
 Opposing him is William J. Stan ton, the coalition candidate of C1O and American Federation of Labor forces. MT. Stanton, in a statement today, attacked dictatorship" in party affairs and declared that the party leadership, in supporting Mr. Blansf1eld, could not disavow the latter's "anti-labor" views.
 18th Is Hot Battle
 A rousing contest is in store in the 18th district, where Attorney John F. Tobin, former minority leader of the state House of Rep resentatives, is reported weaning away numerous administration vot- CTS. The organization candidate is Patrick J. Wallace, former president of the state CYO, and past grand knight of the local Knights of Co., lumbus. Organization support for MT. Wallace is reflected in the fact that one of his delegates is Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney.
 MT. Tobin, in statement today, declared that Certain political lead CTS" had asked him to withdraw from the race and that he had re- fused. City hall tactics, he said, have alienated many Democratic voters.

ALLEGED NAz| SPY TRIAL IS ENDED TODAY Govt. Concluded Its Evi- dence in Case at 1 This
 Afternoon CHURCH SUPERIOR
 AGAINST MINISTER MOlzahn Was Doubtful About His Loyalty to
 United States
BY JACK AMMAN United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Hartford, Conn.,, August 18 - (UPI = Dr. Ernest Plat teicher, president of the Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, testified today that the Rev. Kurt E. B.. Molzahn, Philadelphia pas tor, accused by spying for the Axis, found it rather difficult" in 1899 to make up his mind whether to be loyal to Ger many or the United States.
 DR. Pfatteicher, the pastors s church superior, said the minister came to him for consultation as to whether to accept a call to pas torate in Germany.
 '"The defendant found 1t rather difficult to focus on one supreme loyalty, being 8 German and hav- ing his home and kiddies in Ameri- ca," Dr. Pfatteicher said. T said there can be only one loyalty. He told me he had a call to Germany and asked me what he should do. l told him it was not up to me to advise whether he should accept or stay, but that if he stayed in Amer ica he ought to become an Ameri- can citizen"
 Didn't Want To Talk
 Dr. Pfatteicher said he conferred with Chief Defense Counsel James w. Carpenter and associate Francis Fisher Kane, Philadelphia lawyer, in June or July when they visited him and asked him to appear as a defense witness. He said T told them I'd prefer not to appear at all Tn an effort to get out of 1t, I indicated I might have to bring up this question of royalties"

CONFERENCE AT
 MOSCOW SECRET
Second Front May Not Be Opened; 75O,OOO Ger-
 mans Could Smash It
BY NED RUSSELL United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London Aug. IS = (UP0 = Rus sian, British and American leaders at the Moscow conference surveyed vast area of war operations from Madagascar to the Red Caucasus and Western Europe, diplomatic quarters understood today,
 It was indicated that the confer ence was based on the certainty that Russia could maintain Its armies and its heroic defense intact through a second winter while the United States and Britain continued flow of war supplies on the great est possible scale to the Soviet Union.
 That the Middle East and the In- dian Ocean area entered vitally in to the conference was made certain by the fact that all United States and British military leaders at the conference, except General Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the British Imperial staff, were drawn from the East, including General Sir Archi- bald Wavell, commander in chief in India.
 Disclosure that in Cairo Prime Minister Winston Churchill had conferred with General Jan Chris tian Shuts, prime minister of South Africa, was understood to mean that Shuts had been consulted on the defense of Madagascar, of the Southeast African coast, from Jap anese attack and had been asked what additional forces he could pro- vide for the Middle Eastern theater, especially North Africa.

Flying FOrtresses Did the Trick Yesterday All By
 Their Lonesome
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Aug. 18- (UP) = Allied fighter planes streamed across the Dover Strait to occupied France to- day in their part of the new 24- hour-a-day offensive by United States and British air forces.
 United States Army flying fort resses had made an amazing day. light raid on German occupied France yesterday and Royal Air Force bombers attacked northwest ern Germany during the night, cen- tering on the Rhineland- -Ruhr rail- road and war factory center of OSnabruck.
 Announcement by the Royal Air Force that five bombers were miss ing indicated that well upwards of 100 planes engaged in the night attack. The bombers shot down one enemy plane.
 In addition to the raid on Ger many, medium bombers and fight CTS attacked air fields in enemy oc- cupied territory and shot down one German bomber, taking of to at- tack Britain. ,-.-.. s.......-...----.,.-.,,,-- German planes made weak re- tort to the Allied offensive by bombing southern and western Eng land. They caused some casualties and damage but paid for their raid with the loss of two planes shot down, one off the south coast and the other as 1t arrived over its base in France.
 Huge Explosions
 Gigantic explosions heard along the Dover coast from the shores of occupied France starting at day break gave their tacit announce ment that the day plane forces had taken up the attack which Boeing flying fortresses of the American Army air force and heavy bombers of the British air force had pursued throughout yesterday and last night on German and occupied territory Fighter planes were crossing and recrossing the strait in streams.
 Royal Air Force bombers, includ- ing Lancasters and Stirlings, which carry eight tons of bombs, attacked the German Rhineland in force during the night only few hours after United States Army Flying Fortresses, in their first raid on western Europe, had made a perfect
