PRESIDENTS VETO
 ON RUBBER BILL
New Synthetic Rubber Agency Disqualified;
 Three-Man Group

Washington, Aug. 6-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt today vetoed a bill which would have created a new synthetic rubber agency. At the same time, he announced that he had set up a three man committee, headed by Bernard M. 3aruch, to study the entire synthetic rubber program.
 In a long veto message to the senate the president explained that approval of the rubber bill would, in his opinion, "block the progress of the war production progam and therefore the war itself."
 The measure, endorsed by farm boo congressman, would have pro- vided for establishment of new in dependent agency to control pro- duction of synthetic rubber made from farm and forest products.
 MT. Roosevelt informed the sem ate that he was creating 8 commit tee of three men "to investigate the whole situatlon-to get the facts and to report them to me as quickly as possible win their recommends tions."
 Baruch, who was chairman of the war industries board i'm World Wa: I, will head the new committee. The other members will be Dr. James B. Conant, president of Har- ward university, and pr. Kari T. Compton, president of Massachu- sets Institute of Technology.

INDIA IS PAVING
 WAY TO TROUBLE
All Hope of Compromise Is Gone; Moslems Angry as
 Britain Answers
BY P. D. SHARMA United Press Staff Correspondent


 Bombay, India, August 6-CUP) Widespread violence among In- dia's masses was predicted today when Nationalist leaders, meeting here with Mohandas K. Gandhi, abandoned virtually all hopes of last-minute compromise averting a nationwide civil disobedience cam paign against British rule.
 Members of the All-India Con- gress, summoned into session to approve Gandhi's call for "Sastyag- raha" (non-violent resistance) in support of demands for India's im- mediate independence, said reso- lution adopted yesterday constituted the Congress Hast appeal to Brit ain and the United Nations.
 However, British reaction to this new resolution which promised that India will fight wholeheartedly on the Allied side if British rule is removed was said to have made 1t clear that Britain will not go beyond its offer of postwar independence. Three-way violence which may approach the proportions of civil war with the Hindus, the Moslems and the British as the chief pro tagonists was said in informed quar- ters to be inevitable if Gandhrs call for "Satyagraha" is approved by the full committee of the Congress here tomorrow and put into action

WILHELMINA IS
 GIVEN WELCOME
First Female Sovereign to Make Speech in Halls
 of Congress

Washington, Aug. 6. - (UP)- Queen Wilhelmina of the Neither lands addresses a joint session of Congress today, the first female sovereign so to face the nations legislators in an official capacity.
 The head of the far flung Dutch empire for more than half a cen tury arrived here from Massachu- sets late yesterday to welcome that has not been exceeded by any given the long list of royalty to visit this capital since Pearl Har- bor. She was guest of the White House overnight and will remain there during her stay.
 War time restrictions were such that the welcoming ceremonies yes- terday fell substantially below those attending the arrival in 1889 of King George VI and Queen Eliza beth of England. But President and Mrs. Roosevelt made the un- usual wartime gesture of greeting the head of the Dutch government at the Union Station.
 Thousands of home going workers pouring out of government build ings had a chance to see the queen as she rode down the streets be- side Mrs. Roosevelt and the Presi- dent.

 Another problem which Bradley undoubtedly will discuss with Rus sian leaders Is the role America must play If the Japanese attempt a thrust through Siberia. Some sources here believe that Bradley may have been sent to Moscow to confer with leaders there at the same time they are visited by Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Latest advices from Moscow gave this grim picture of the struggle:
 ]. The Germans are pounding southward along a 70-mile front between Kushchevko and Belaya- glina, moving down upon the great Maikop oil fields, which provide the bulk of Russia's airplane fuel, and and toward the Black Sea naval base of Novorissisk. The Russians acknowledged retreats south of Be- layaglina and Belos Kushchevka. Stockholm reports said that the Russians already had begun a scorched-earth destruction of the great Maikop oil installations to prevent them from falling intact to the onrushing Germans.
 2. Northeastward at the great bend of the Don pincers of steel was closing upon Stalingrad, great war industry city sprawling on both banks of the Volga and without which Marshal Timoshenko's arm- les of the south would be stripped of their main source of supply. The Russians acknowledged German advance to Kotelnikovski 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad. over flat terrain ideal for the Na1 tanks. Russian lines still held around Klet- skaya to the northwest, however.
 The German high command claimed the capture of Tikhoretsk, vital railroad terminus 95 miles south of Rostov and about the same distance north of Maikop. Telling of steady advance along the en- tire southern front the Geshan said that their mobile forces had cut the railroad running southeast ward to Baku and the Caspian Sea south of Voroshilovck which they claim to have captured.

ed that they have fought almost to a draw. Neither comhatant has been able to gain and maintain air su- periority in any sector for consid- cradle length of time Consequent ly, If the Russian air forces were to be reinforced with powerful contingent of American pilots and planes, 1t might well mean that the balance of air power could be thrown in Russia's favor. Once air control had been achieved the con- bined Russian and American air forces might then ease the pressure in the Caucasus.
 To gain air superiority is the job of fighter planes and pilots. While Russia has, as yet, not asked for pilots. she has continuously called for more pursuit ships. It follows that if the United States is to sup ply great many more fighter planes than 1t is now doing, 1t also must supply some of the men to

The court ordered that Stephan shall be hanged at the federal peni- tentiary at Milan, Mich, on Novem- Der 13.
 Judge Futile said he hoped that the severity of the sentence would teach a lesson to every disloyal citizen of the United States
 Thus unless President Roosevelt or the United States supreme court intervene, Michigan, 8 state without capital punishment, will have its second execution in 108 years. The last one occurred in 1888 when Tony Chehatoris was hanged after his conviction by jury under federal law for the robbery of the Chelni- cal State Savings Bank at Mid- land. He was hanged at the fed- eral prison at Milan, Mich.
 Highest Crime In Land
 Stephan was convicted of treason, the highest crime in the land, July by q federal court jury which de- liberated an hour and g minutes.
 He was accused of helping a flee ing Nazi prisoner, Ober Lieutenant HaEs Peter Krug, after his escape from Q camp at Bowmanville, Ont, last April.

METERS COST CITY MORE THAN INCOME
This Was Part of Reply By Corporation Counsel
 to Atty Cassidy

Cost of operating the city's park ing meters is greater than income from them, Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch revealed today in a brief filed in common pleas court In answer to Attorney John H. Cas- sidy's claim that the meters are H. legal because they raise unauthor- lzed revenue. Charges that they are nuisance and public hazard and that they were installed without le- gal authority are also denied in the brief submitted by the defense at- torney in the $5,000 damage suit brought by the Watertown lawyer who seeks to have the meters re- moved from Waterbury streets.
 Expenses of the parking meters from January l, 194O to June l, 1922 were listed by the corporation counsel as $59,598.01 while income tor that period was reported to be e51, ,780.20. The Board of Police Con- missioners was not interested in raising revenue, he states, and park Ing meters were installed for the sole purpose of improving the park Ing situation.

 Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 6.-(UP)- Gerhard Kunze the elder, Philadel- phia church organist. who is char acter witness for the Rev. Kurt E. B. Molzahn, testified today he was taken on free trip to Germany by a Nazl propaganda agency in 1930 and saw Adolf Hitler on the day Germany invaded Poland.
 The powerfully-built Kunze, father of Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, chief of the German American Bund, per- spired freely as Thomas J. Dodd, special assistant to the U. s. at torney general, cross-examined him strongly.
 Kullze earlier had testified to the good character of the Rev. Molzahn, who is accused of spying for Ger many and Japan. Kunze the son has pleaded guilty under the same indictment on which the government is prosecuting Rev. Molzahn.
 The elder Kunze was amazed at the information the government had about his trip to Germany in 1889 just about the time war broke out
 I'm surprised where you get all that stuff," he said.
 Its pretty accurate" the father of the Bund leader said, with ob- vious amazement.
 T wish I had known you were going to question me about this. I would have looked at my memo randums at home."
 Dodd brought out under his cross-examination that the elder

Moscow, Aug. 6-(UP)-German G. men and machines drove through successive Russian defense lines in the north Caucasus today toward the rich Maikop oil fields while Red army troops fought doggedly to hold back a fast-closing pincers thrust at Stalingrad.
 Driving relentlessly and with overwhelming weight over the bodies of their dead and past the fam ing wreckage of scores of tanks, the Germans made new advances all along the 70-mile north caucasus front between Belaya Gina and Kuschevka.
 At the KuschcheYka sector, at the western end of the line, where the Russian line had held firm for days, the Russians were now being pressed back, special front dispatches ad- mitted, and the Germans mace new gains south of Belaya Gina.

The second time was early Tuesday. A bomber flew over west ern Iceland, just west of Reykjavik, and machine gunned lighthouse east of Halmavik, in northwest Iceland.
 Army communiques disclose that German bombers are coming in singly along the coast and making sorties into shore, usually in cloudy weather. Twice bombers have passed almost over Reykjavik, but dropped nothing. These tactics apparently are designed for nuisance and reconnaissance, in addition to occasional attacks on small .trawlers along the coast.
 German bombers are known to be ranging widely over deSOluate
