AAOAAA 4 0EN AI urday by Detective Lieutenants Will liam Pollard and William Foley on the strength of Palladino's identi- fication of him.
 Wanted Case Dropped
 Palladino, who failed to appear in court yesterday when the case was scheduled to be heard, said that his mother called police later Saturday morning and asked that the case be dropped. Pascale had been arrested at that time, however.
 The witnesses were ordered to ap- pear in court today.
 They shouldn't have gone as far as they did and then attempt to lie about the case" said the prosecu- tor. T think it is a case that should be investigated to the bottom and presented in superior court"
 Defense Attorney Edward Mas colo, arguing for the discharge of his client said that Palladino had made an honest mistake and should be thanked for being honest enough to admit his mistake"
 Judge T. E. Conway found prob- able cause and bound Pascale over to the higher court in spite of a de- fense offered by Charles Pascale, IT, brother of the accused. Charles said he awakened at $50 a. m. Sat- urday morning and saw his brother in bed.
 Identified At Time
 The attempted robbery took place at 4 a. m. On Saturday, Palladino, in addition to making his own pos itive identification, said that his mother recognized Pascale as he ran down the street, and called to him by name. Today Mrs. Palladino said that she could not be certain whether Pascale was the man.
 Prosecutor Lawlor attempted to gain from Pascale an admission that he had attempted to steal the $1,0OO because of his concern for the SUD- port of his wife and two children The accused man, who came here from New Jersey in November, 1940 said that he has been unemployed nearly month, and two weeks ago was forced to send his wife and children to his mother because of lack of funds.
 Pascale admitted he owes con- siderable money and has been wor- ried about it. He steadfastly denied that he had attempted to steal the Palladino money, however.
 Prosecutor Lawlor pointed out that Pascale, according to his own ad- missions, had been on Easton ave- nue early Saturday morning, and that he had been out of the house about 3 o'clock the same morning Pascale claimed he went out at a. m. to move a car he had bor- roWed from Palladinos cousin from in front of 276 West Main street tc the Elks parkin glot.
 Afraid of Ticket
 He claimed he was afraid he would be given ticket for viola tion of the all night parking pro- hibition.
 Judge Conway declined a request by Attorney Mascolo that he take jurisdiction in the case and impose sentence rather than going through with the bind-over. For certain req sons I do not want to take juris- diction," said Judge Gaffney. "While I feel that the punishment which should be given is well within the jurisdiction of this court, think the case should be considered by the superior court"
 A sad incident related to the case was described by Pascale's mother, who said she came here from New Jersey yesterday to take her young son Charles home. ' knew nothing about he case until I asked for Ollie (Gaetano) and ther

 Moscow, July 28 = (UP) - The Red Army retreated stubbornly to- day across the flat Scopes south of the Don when heavily reinforced German armies, dropping air-borne Whippet tanks behind the Russian lines, pushed deeper into the Cau- casus and sent powerful forces smashing toward Stalingrad.
 V Savage fighting was reported un- derway all along the 250-mile front where the Germans, reinforced by II divisions (probably 165, 900 men) from Holland and France, pounded forward in a drive toward the key railroad communications and oil pipelines of the Caucasus and into the eastern bend of the Don only 40 bniles from industrial Stalingrad on the Volga.
 South of Rostov and Novocher- kassk, abandoned to the Germans yesterday, Marshal Semyon Timo- shenko's Red Army forces fought desperately to stem NaI mechan- 1zed forces threatening to widen their northern Caucasian front, but the Russians were compelled to give xround.
 In one important sector, uniden- etfied in advices reaching Moscow, the Germans succeeded in pushing the Russians back after rushing up large endorsements to widen gap forced at the Don.
 - Near e, small village the Germans landed wi1ippet tanks from big planes behind the Russian lines, but the tanks were said to have been knocked out by the fire of Red army guns.
 From captured Rostov at the mouth of the Don the Germans were headed toward the Maikop oil area, and near Tsimlyanskaya - midway between Rostov and Stall 1ngrad on the Don-they were try ing to reach the important Tikhor- etsk- -Stalingrad railroad.
 Farther to the northeast at the big bend of the Don the Germans pushed toward Kalach, only 40 miles from Stalingrad.
