Treason Trial
Gets Underway
BEGIN Selection
of Stephen Jury

DETROIT. June 20 - Up -
Charged with treason, Max
Stephan, 49-year-old German
born Detroit restaurateur, went
on trial today in Federal Court,
facing the possibility of death if
convicted.
Selection of a jury was eNpect.
ed late this afternoon.
Stephan, a naturalized citizen,
is accused of aiding Lieut.. Peter
Krug, German air force flier, in
the pilots escape last April 10
from a Canadian Concentration
camp at Bowmanville, Ont.
One of score of witnesses
against Stephan will be Krug,
who the government charges was
wined and dined by the restaura-
teur when he came to Detroit.
u. S. District Attorney John
c. Lehr said the government
would attempt to prove that Ste
phan'S allegiance was with the
enemy and that he gave them
aid and comfort in assisting
Krug.
Lehr pointed out that no per-
son can be convicted of treason
unless a confession. is made in
open court or two witnesses test
ify to the same overt act. Ste
phan is charged with 13 overt
acts Of treason related TO Krug' S
flight which ended in his capture
by Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton agents in San Antonio, Tex.
Vern Anderson, attorney for
Stephan, has not indicated what
defense he will make.
Punishment for treason ranges
from a fine of $1,000 to death,
upon conviction. Lehr said the
treason indictment is the first
growing out of the United States
entrance into World War II.
There were three such indict-
ments in World War | but not
convictions.

Axis communicates from Roma
and Berlin today claimed the
fall of Matruh, northern anchor
of the British line guarding
Egypt and the middle east.
There was no confirmation Of
this from Allied sources, but the
British admitted that their forces
may have fallen back to pre-
viously prepared lines.
Other British sources report
ed Marshal Erwin Rommers at
lacking forces had penetrated
deeper into Egypt.
There seemed to be no ques-
ton of the gravity of the situa-
ton.
In grim menace to the main
position of Allied forces for the
battle of Egypt, an arm of the
Axis offensive has curved about
Matruh from the western side,
successfully to the south and
now to the southeastern or Nile
valley side of the vital railhead.
DRIVE UNDERWAY
At the same time the long
heralded main offensive of the
German armies in Russia was
reported underway in the Kursk
area, south of Moscow, and
north of Kharkov, where the
enemy appeared to be attempt
ing a wide-swinging move to
cut communications between the
Russians central and southern
fronts, to prepare the way for .
drive into the Caucasus.
The full weight Of Germany's
about assault in Russia was
bearing down on the Red armies
in both the Kharkov and Kur1k
areas.
Thus the Axis pincers on the
middle East, the Suez Canal and
Alexandria took shape in the
coordinated drives in Russia and
Egypt, aimed evidently at clos
ing in on the Suez region and
Asia Minor from two directions,
through the Caucasus northeast
of Suez and through Egypt on
the west.

coast was attacked sharply last
