Three More Ships Sunk
In Convoy, Nozis Claim

BERLIN (From German Broad
casts, July 10 UP.-German mill
tary quarters reported today that
Nazi submarines and warplanes had
sunk three more ships in attacks on
q big British American convoy en-
route to the Russian Arctic port
OF Archange1.
Thus IS ships so far have been
sunk by German forces out OF this
convoy, which consisted originally
OF SO merchant vessels" these quar-
ters declared.
(The Germans previously
claimed the sinking of 80 ships
OF the convoy as we'll as heavy
United States cruiser, but the
Russians announced yesterday
that the convoy had reached
port intact after an engagement
in which the Nazi battleship Tir-
pitz was torpedoed by Russian
submarine)
In the latest phase OF the en-
eaeement, German submarines were
credited with sinking two ships
one OF 5000 and the other of 1000
tons-wf1ile bombers were said to
have sunk q third Of unspecif1ed
size.
The Berlin radio last night quoted
q man 1t said was William Forces
an American mate, as saying three
German fighter planes deliberately
crashed their planes on the deck OF
a heavy United States cruiser es-
corting an Arctic convoy and sank
her.
The broadcast quoted the man
allegedly picked up by a German
emergency naval plane after the
attack. as saying terrific explosion
tore the cruiser apart after the
planes hit her, showing the am
n1unition stores had been hit.

In 'Sniper' Sayings
AssoiIed by Defense

Closing arguments by Defens'
Counsel Harry r. Whelan in th'
trial Of John Eugene Eklund
charged with first-degree murder o
Hyland McClaine, began today il
District Court.
Rebuttal by Assistant United
States Attorney John w. Fihell,
was to follow. and then the jury
was to receive the case from JUS
tice James w. Morris.
Mr.. Whelan told the jurors they
must establish beyond all reason
able doubt every essential element
OF the trial" before judging Eklund
guilty of the crime. He stressed
''unreliability" Of the only eye-wit-
ness to the crime, Mrs. Mildred
washington Simms, companion OF
young McClaA1e the night he was
shot and killed and said her powers
OF observation could not be de-
pended on.
Key Witness Assailed.
The attorlley said the Govern
ment has not shown beyond rea-
sonable doubt that bullets sub
mitted in evidence were the ones
used In the "sniper" Staying OF Nc
elaine.
"A human life is in jeopardy on
the testimony of confirmed crimi-
nal and q drug addict" Mr.. Whelan
declared in attacking the validity
Of the Governments key witness,
Marvin Richard Harlow, former
cellmate of Eklund when the two
were in District Jail.
Since Eklund's first trial. which
was declared a mistrial after con-
viction, the Government has pro-
duced a .38-caliber Colt revolver
which 1t claims Eklund used in the
staying and later hid in Baltimore
park near his rooming house.
Attorney Whelan, before the close
Of the morning session yesterday,
moved for a mistrial on the ground
certain questioning OF Eklund by
Mr.. Fihelly was inflammatory.
Justice Morris denied the motion.
Eklund Recalled to Stand.
Eklund was recalled to the stand
late in the day by Mr.. Whelan, who
questioned the defendant on PAM
phlet found by police in his Balti-
more home when arrested. Eklund
said the drawing on the back OF
the pamphlet was an idea of his
for an advertising display sign. Mr..
Fihelly had asked Eklund if it was
. drawing of portion of the park
where the gun was found.
In cross-examination by Mr.. Fl
helly, Eklund denied ever being in
the vicinity of the shooting, which
occurred at the K Street Bridge and
Waterside drive NV. Mr.. Fihelly
asked him If he ever passed over
the bridge on his way home from
the Potomac Boat Club, where he
kept an outboard motorboat. Elk
lund answered no." and said he
did not recall ever walking home
from the club.

LAST REHEARSAL CHAPTER XVIII

There was the familiar faint speak of the stretcher-carriage's wheels, the mutted footsteps of att tendants on the cork floor of the corridor. The carriage reached the door of Emergency, pasued an instant to negotiate the turn, then - Martin Corby was wheeled in.
 Martin realized that he was late For the rehearsal. He wished tiredly that he might skip it altogether, continue right on to the club and the bachelor dinner that had been planned for him.
 He was too bone-tired really to care much. yet he found himself hoping uneasily that Faith would not be upset again. He wasn't late on purpose. Mrs Timothy Simmons vague symptoms had been, if anything, more vague to- night, but she had certainly made up in quantity for anything that they might have lacked in quality. T'nc weather had something to do with that, he supposed. But he wished that she hadn't decided to haNss @H attack" just tonight.
 He waAsaS -'n through the nave of the church, shaking the wet from his coat as he went, and Faith detached herself from the group at the altar to meet him. She called gaily, T hope this isn't an indication of what's going to happen tomorrow" and she was smiling, but he felt her tense as he bent to kiss her and she didn't meet his eyes but looked past him with a bright blind look that was

you say you're going, and ask, Dr. Corby said he was calling on you: is he really there?'"
 He was suddenly angry with a rage that made him want to shake her until the teeth rattled in her spoiled, pretty head. He warned in a voice like cold steel, You ever try a trick like that and I'll- I1l-"
 You'll what?" she taunted him.
 "Ill give you the spanking that you should have had long ago. I'll give you the hiding that such childish trick would deserve. I warn you"
 He stepped on the starter, threw the car into gear and they shot for ward again through the opaque wall of rain.
 After a long while Faiths hand crept over and touched him. She said contritely, all the anger gone, I'm so sorry, darling. So awfully sorry
 Martin said gruffly, You've had a bad time, too many parties, too much excitement. And I'm tired. We were both wrong. Let's for- get 1t. It's all right"
 It was not and he knew 1t. He saw with a sudden blinding clarity just how all wrong the thing was, He had called Candace jealous and nagging once because she had accused him, rightfully, of cheat ing: he thought of the three years in back of him since then and the lifetime ahead of him and he knew he was due to find out even further what a jealous woman was. He smiled bitterly in the darkness. The mills of the gods grind slowly, he quoted
 He'd been so sure he could handle the thing at first. so sure he'd wind up having the Harts- hornes as influential friends and nothing more. By the time he'd decided that wasn't going to work, not with Faith who was so intense. he'd lost out on his chance to mention Candace In any way ct all without having the Harts- hornes completely down on him. There didn't seem to be anything to do. according to his way ol thinking. but take advantage Of the "out" candace gave him.
 Well. I let myself in for it, he thought again. Tt was too late now to do anything about it.

Won't Like That

We don't believe that the Madame Sec retary of State, Mrs. Chase Going Wood house, is going to care very much for the allegations of Ellery Allyn, talkative sec retary of the Republican State Central Committee. In a recent address to a COP goup in Norwich MT. Allyn present. ed resume of faults" as he found them existing in the Democratic Party. Sure, it's politics and this is an election year, but not even that will get Mr. Allyn on Mrs. Woodhouse's calling list after his re- marks of her conduct of office.
 Funny thing, too, Mrs. Woodhouse, al- though she is the president of the Fed eration of Democratic Women Clubs, to which MT. Allyn alludes, rather brides, herself on the fact that hers is not an ot- flee characterized by display of parti- san patronage. But MT. Allyn evidently thinks differently for he comes right out and says, "Is it fact that their offices it the Capitol are the headquarters for their partisan activitieS?"
 A number of instances are also cited by the COP spokesman designed to show that Hartford is overrun with Democrats who have graduated from local political positions to state ones. But the Summa- kon of all this is kind of hard to swallow nnIess you're extremely gullible. Anyone familiar with political events in Connec- ticut for the past two decades would hard

Incendiary Bombs

Magnesium is the lightest metal known which is capable of being fabricated into usable forms. Its development was long delayed because scientists were trying to overcome the tendency of magnesium to burn or explode when it came into con- tact, at high temperature, with oxygen. Water contains high percentage of oxygen. That is why, all along, those who knew magnesium insisted that the only safe way to extinguish an incendiarry bomb = made of magnesium, was to smother it with spray of water so thin that, instead of providing the bomb with oxygen, it would deprive it even of the supply available in the air.
 Now comes the Office of Civilian De- fense with advice to shoot stream Of water on such a bomb. The New York Fire Department tries out the GODS method T. fortunately out of doors - and has nice big explosion The OCD re- torts that a quick explosion is better than a slow fire. Maybe. We'll bet that no magnesium plant worker will agree with the OCD. Those men know mag nesium, and what happens to anybody standing around when it explodes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-08

We suppose that Ellery Allyn, secreary of the Republican State Central Commit tee, might have been even stronger in his criticism of Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, Secretary of State, had he known in ad- vance of his speech in Norwich the other day that her name had been mentioned in connection with the chairmanship of the Democratic Town Committeein New London. According to reports from the Whaling City the incumbent chairman intends to resign before the coming elec- tion. With Mrs. Woodhouse presumably to be candidate to succeed herself it might seem as if New London Democrats were Saddling her with quite job. How ever, they know their own situation bet ter than we do over here in the Nauga- tuck Valley. But no matter where it is it does seem as if person who is a can- didate for public office, particularly a state office, should not have the double duty of directing the work of local party organization. That's quite a task and demands undivided attention.
