EIGHT SABOTEURS
 STILL ON TRIAL
Much Secrecy Still, But Some News Comes Out
 of Trial Room

Washington, July 10-(UP)-The mother of an American battle hero was expected to testify against one of the eight Nazi saboteurs whose secret trial before a special military commission entered its third seS- sion today.
 The prospective witness was Mrs Agnes Jordan of Chicago, mother of Larry Jordan, wounded and report ed missing while serving as tank Sergeant on Bataan.
 She volunteered to testify against 22-year- old Hefpert Hans Haupt former Chicagoan who went to Ger many to master the art of sabotage under Gestapo tutelage and then returned to this country, aboard a submarine, to practice his treacher- pus craft.

HITLER LOSES COMMAND OF GERMAN ARMY Forced to Reinstate Field Marshal Walther VOn

BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent

 London, July 10. - (UP) - a Stockholm dispatch quoted neutral arrivals from Berlin today as saying that Adolf Hitler had relinquished active command of the Ger man army and reinStated Field Marshal Walther Won Brauchitsch as commander in-chief. At the same time, it was reported, Field Marshal Erwin Von Witzleben, Hitler's inti- mate military adviser, had been sent into retirement.
 The Stockholm dispatch came from a London Daily Mail corre- spondent.
 It said that Hitler, in reinstating Brauchitsch had yielded to per sistent demands of his high con- mand. Now, the dispatch asserted Brauchitsch again was in control of Hitler's Fuehrer Headquarters and personally was directing the German offensive on the Kharkov- Kursk front.
 Field Marshal Fedor Von Book, il was said, remained in command o1 operations in the field but again was ansWerable to Brauchitsch.

BUYING OF BONDS
 IS AGAIN URGED
Treasury Dept Still FavOrs Voluntary Purchases;
 Conn. Behind Quota
BY CHARGES B. DEGGES Limited Press Staff Correspondent

NOuAVCu EECnS 0t&A NVkACSpVnuOAV
 Washington, July 10.-(UP)-T treasury department denied today 1t had changed its policy of favor- ing voluntary purchases of war bonds, despite a statement by one of its assistant secretaries that compulsory savings are on the way
 Assistant Secretary John L. Sul- livan said in Boston yesterday that failure of the present voluntary plan, which set monthly quota of $1, 900 100000, would mean i've shall be forced to resort to compul- sory savings"
 But Undersecretary Daniel w. Bell reiterated the treasury's stand that no consideration be given to forced sales until the voluntary plan has had fair trial. July 1, he Esaid, was set as the original date when the trial period would end but we have not been able to tell much about 1t yet so the trial will be extended"
 q don't think we'll have com pulsory savings for several months yet" he added.
 Sullivan said that voluntary sales bring irregular results.
 "We can't count on individual month -by-month effort and we can't gamble on the weather or the war news to be favorable for bond selling" he said. We have to plan and organize so that the money will come in and the bonds go out (Continued on Page O

Tuesday and entered plea of in nocent to an indictment that he was entrusted by a spy group with transmitting military information to Germany and Japan.
 The trial originally was sched- udled for July IS but because of the development of Kunzes arrest, Judge J. Joseph Smith permitted a delay of two weeks in bringing the accused before jury.
 Standing trial with Kunze will be Dr. Wolfgang Ebell, Fl Paso. Tex, a former German imperial army of- ficer, and the Rev. Kurt E. B. Mo- lzahn, Philadelphia Lutheran min- ister, who served in the German Imperial army as 8 cavalry officer and was decorated with the Iron Cross. Both were charged with aid- ing in the escape of Kunze to Mex leo and with helping him keep con- tacts in this country since his flight.
 The Rev. Molzahn, at liberty un- der $25,00O bail furnished by parish toners, won part of a legal move to compel the government to furnish details of the charges against him.
 Elaborate on Charge
 Judge Smith ordered the govern ment to elaborate on its charge that the pastor, in August 1941, arranged for a meeting of Kunze and Ebell at Fl Paso, setting forth when, where and with whom the defendant Molzahn made such arrangements"
 Requests for details concerning two accusations were denied by Judge Smith. One concerned a charge the pastor was furnished with instructions by Kunze to en- able the Bund leader to leave the United States, and the other asked more particulars of a charge the minister allowed his Philadelphia parsonage address to be used as a address for mail between Kunze and others involved in the conspiracy.

REGISTRATION
 IS STILL SLOW
Much Below Expectations Today; May Be Rush
 Before Night

The number of automobile owners registering for permanent gasoline rationing continued to be below ex- pectations today as teachers and other volunteer registrars spent the second day of the three-day regis tration period issuing basic "A" books. Dr. Thomas J. Condon, sup erintendent of schools and director of the registration, said that regis trants are far fewer in number than was the case at the time of the reg istration for temporary rationing several months ago.
 Unless there is very great rush tonight and tomorrow, our regiStra- ton total will be far below what 1t was at the original registration" Dr.. Condon said. We don't know whe- ther the small number means that many people have already put up their cars for the duration or whe- ther motorists are just lax about registering"
 Correcting Error
 Correcting a general impression, Dr. Condon said that it is not nec- essary for car owner to present either his federal auto use tax stamp or its number when he applies for rationing book. If he has no stamp the space on the ration book for its number will be left blank, to be fill- ed in by the owner when he gets the stamp.
 However, Dr. Condon pointed out, no one can secure gasoline on the

BY MARTIN KANE United Press Staff Correspondent)

Newark, N. J., July 10. = (UP) - Specific charges of Nazi espionage, passport fraud, unlawful possession of United States money and the smuggling of secret writing chemicals were made today against Herbert Karl Fried rich Bahr, latest spy suspect caught by the FBI.
 In a complaint drawn up for his arraignment later today before Federal Judge William F. Smith, the 29-year-old Bahr, seized aboard the Swedish liner Drottningholm, was alleged to have conspired with Karl Bauer and other persons unknown" to:
 l. Enter the United States as 8 German agent and obtain 'infor- nation respecting national defense"
 2. Obtain documents to be trans mitted back to Germany.
 3. Use "mutilated" passport.
 4. Use unlawfully possessed U. s. currency.
 5. Concealing on his person "cer- tain chemicals to be used in the manufacture of ink capable of in- visible writing"
 Federal agents Identified Karl Bauer" named in the complaint, as one of those who gave Bahr his in- structions in Germany.
 Bahr is the latest graduate of Berltn's espionage academy, but he flunked his first postgraduate test under examination by FBI agents aboard the Swedish liner Drottning- holm, whose 942 passengers were not permitted to disembark until they had been questioned at great length about their activities in Europe.
 Once detected, the 29-year-old Bahr talked as freely as the eight Nazi

 Washington, July 10. = (UP) = Four members of the House military affairs committee differed today with their chairman on the probable length of the war. They predicted that it would last three, perhaps five years.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, expressed the opinion yesterday that the United Nations may win this year or next.
 Members available for comment agreed that the unexpected might happen, and that the war might end suddenly. But on the whole they were not optimistic.
 We're in for rough summer as everyone can see,' said Rep. Over ton Brooks, D., La. "If we can hold things together by fall we will be able to present 8 strong front.
 Providing we are able to hold fronts unbroken, then by next year we should be able to take the offense in every theater of the war. That, lOWCFcI, Will JuSG De IIle UeBLlllIlB. Our big job still will be ahead of us"
 Brooks believed the war would last "a minimum of three years"

Germany Hurls Tremendous Force Into Russian Front
BRITISH HOLD
 LEAD IN EGYPT
U. s. Heavy Bombers Play= ing Important Part in
 Offensive There
By LEON KAY United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)

Cairo, July 10-(UP)-British Im- perial mobile columns, attacked Axis forces at the southern end of the Alamein line, and have forced them to move northward toward the coast, a middle eastern com- mand communique announced to- day.
 United States army air corps heavy bombers, operating in con- junction with British and South African air forces in a devastating offensive, shot down two enemy fighter planes which challenged them, the communique said.
 In the clash at the southern end of the line running southwestward from Fl Alamein, the Imperial Lightning columns, made up of tank, armored car, artillery and mo- torized infantry units, struck so savagely the Axis forces, which in- cluded tanks, were compelled to give their defensive positions and draw up toward the coast.
 AS result, the Imperial battle line was shortened and strength ened.
 For days. the British columns had kept up their pressure at the southern end of the line, threaten ing constantly to get in behind the enemy.
 The Axis line originally had start ed just west of Fl Alamein, and ex- tended gradually southeastward. First British pressure forced Ger man Field Marshal Erwin Rommel to flatten out his line, so that 1t went southward from Fl Alame.n for about 20 miles and then veered westward.
 Now, it was understood, the line starting west of Ell Alamein goes directly southwestward.
 Aside from the southern end of the line, artillery and patrol action continued.

London, July 10. = (UP) - An air and sea battle in which the German warships TirpitZ, Luetzow, Ripper and Scheer attempted to in- tervene was fought by convoy of American, British and Russian ships pressing through the Parents Sea toward Murmansk, reliable sources reported today.
 The battle, fought in the 24-hour daylight of the Arctic, began on Saturday north and east of Bear Island, it was understood, and re- suited in these developments:
 Russian bombing attacks on German bases in North Finland and Norway, where 30 Nazi planes were destroyed and 27 damaged in an ef- fort to break up air stabs at the Allied route for supplies to the Red Army.
 2-An attempted attack by the 40,000-ton German battleship Tir- pitz, accompanied by the 10,000-ton cruiser Ripper and the pocket bat tleships Scheer and Luetzow and CA6llO IOJOlo dA2 Ol WAiAS44 were forced back apparently with out making contact because a Rus sian submarine torpedoed and ser- iously damaged the Tirpitz.
 3-A series of claims by the Ger man radio that a total of 35 out of 38 Allied merchant ships and one American heavy cruiser had been sunk in attacks by airplanes and submarines on the convoy and ad- misison that three German planes were destroyed, allegedly by suicide dives to the deck of the U. s. cruiser.
