for home, is alleged to have ob- tained information on which he based his subsequent dispatch.
 The dispatch was written after he reached the United States, and therefore was subject to voluntary rather than naval censorship.
 High Administration officials have been reluctant to prosecute John ston alone and permit the Tribune to go unscathed, in view of its Dec. story on the plans of the U. S. Army. However, it has finally been decided to, place the whole matter before federal grand jury and let the jury decide whe- ther Johnston or the Tribune. both or neither, should be indicted.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY. AUGUST 21

This is not an important day in planetary government. There is a sign promising support and ap- proval for persons in power. For l tunate for the President of the United States but he should safe guard his health.
 HEART AND HOME: AS house. holders look forward to the Aut- umn, spacious mansions will be placed on sale and small cottages or connections apartments will be sought in their place. Wartime taxes and conditions will affect incomes in ways that are keenly felt. Homes of millionaires will be occupied by public institutions. The servant problem will contribute 10 changes in. the American way of living. In the average homes and even in those belonging to wealthy folk, wives and daughters will do all the work. This presages a tre- mendous demand for electrical ap- pliances when it is again possible to manufacture them.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Economic dislocations will be apparent in sur veying the outlook for Autumn but adjustments will be fortunate and this month will make record for fair trade and general well-being in the United States. In the Ur- anus cycle the planet squaring the Sun and the Moon will affect busi- ness for the year. Industrial changes, reorganization of produc tion schedules and improvements in airplanes will cause great progress in the far-flung campaigns of the United Nations.
 i NATIONAL ISSUES: Partisan bias may be apparent in certain coveted appointments made in Washington where the political pot will boil furiously next month. The fall elections will cause many misjudgments. In Congress severe 1 criticism of the motives of sen- ators and representatives will be expressed. More conferences with
 envoys of foreign powers will be
 carried on. Danger of perfidy in
 a quarter believed to be friendly is forecast
 ] INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: ::
 Arab leaders are to gain in power
 and they will develop special
 problem next month. India be-
 comes each day more important in
 the world conflict issues. British
 statesmen will continue to face
 complex problems that hamper the
 progress of their grand scale plans in promoting the aggressive cam paign of the United Nations. Gath lering momentum of our splendid forces will be apparent today. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augWy of a year of gain in the Army or Navy if they are in the Service. Attempted double dealing may cause temporary con-
 cern.
 Children born on this day prob- lably will be popular and successful They should be talented in the , arts and well poised in character Copyright, 1942)

 Next day after publication of the Tribune story. Admiral Ernest King, commander of the U. S. Fleet, summoned Arthur Sears Henning, the Tribune's Washington correspondent and grilled him at length. Later, King and Secretary of the Navy Knox went to the White House, and drastic action was demanded. Knox himself, who publishes the Chicago Daily News, was not so insistent as the Ad- mirals, some of whom demanded that the Tribune be shut down.
 But because the Tribune has been such a critic of the Admin istration, Roosevelt wanted to lean over backward against prosecution. So he placed the matter in the hands of William D. Mitchell, at torney general under Herbert Hoov- CT.
 Mitchell recommended that there was clear case against Johnston the. author, and perhaps the Tri- bune also.
 Johnston is an Australian, mar ried to a naturalized Bavarian girl, and lived some years in Paris. For time he was Amsterdam and Berne manager of Press Wireless, and American correspondents pay tribute to his efficiency, though the, British kept dossier on him

TRIBUNE HURLER
 BEATS YALE 2-l
Lefty Verderame Fans lz as MettIer Brothers Whip
 COllegians

New Haven, July 23-The Mettler Brothers nine of the Industrial league, tossed the first moth on Yale's summer baseball season yes- terday, gaining 2-1 victory at Yale I Field. Carl Gefty) Verderame who pitches for the Tribunes in Water bury, was in brilliant mound form for the victors, sending ad ozen Ellis back to the bench via the strikeout route.
 The Bulldog drew first blood in the eighth inning. Dick Rice, North Haven boy and Yale shortstop led o with ringing double to left cen terf1eld. Bolt Elwell hoisted a fly to centerfield after which Rice raced to third. Then Jack Neville, Eli pitcher, singled sharply to left field, scoring Rice with the only run that Coach Milt Schroeder's club could fashion from the offerings of Yer derame.
 M. B. was far from beaten, how ever. They didn't want to let Yer derame down after his phenomenal afternoons work. With this in mind Ted Graybeck opened the ninth frame with a single past short. He was sacrificed to second by Augie Cimino, Frank Iannotti went down swinging and Nate Hornstein drew an important walk.
 Pitcher Verderame then laced one of Neville'S losses into centerfeld. scoring Graybeck from second with the tying run. Coach Schroeder re- placed Neville with Russ Ford, and Win Sgro, M. B. centerfelder and the first man to face Ford, singled over second to send HornSteir scampering home with the winning tally.
 It was a fine pitchers dual be. tween Verderame and Neville until the first half of the ninth wher the M. B.'s strung together three hits and walk for the two runs that handed the Ellis their first de. feat in three contests. Two incon- sequential errors were charged against Pitcher Neville and Second Baseman Mike Stimola.
 Stimola and Captain Tom Whe- Ian. of Yale, came up with spark ling double play on. Sal Lieto and Mike Duso in the third inning to kill off a scoring threat. Verder- anne set the Bulldogs down in or der during the first four frames and again in the sixth. There was tight defensive ball on both sides. The M. B.s got out of a hole in the fifth inning after Ed Goodspeeo, Yale right fielder, tripled to cen- terfield mad was finally thrown out at the plate, Second Baseman 1annotti to Catcher Durso, in thrilling play.
 Less than 500 fans turned out for the fray which was nip and tuck all the way and well worth watch ing.

 First of all, it will mark the initial appearance here this season of the crack colored nine, the Brooklyn Royal Giants, always a great aggre- gation of ball tossers and also a capable troupe of entertiners. Sec Ondly, there will be the City league All-Star team with the sensational intercollegiate pitching star, Roy Talcott of Princeton on the mound. Thirdly, there will be several added attractions including a drum corps, tossing of the first ball and receiv- ing of same by an official battery comprised of Chief Petty Officers Garry Murphy and Preston Thorn of the local navy recruiting office, and finally free movies following the game featuring several navy films.
 No admission will be charged at the gate, but & collection will be taken up inside about midway in the contest, with the entire proceeds except guarantee for the visiting club, being turned over to the Navy I AAAAs AAAAo OA NOu1oC 1lCdIlo LLldL all attendants at the game includ- ing collectors, local team players scorers and other officials will be working gratis for the worthy cause.
 The league All-Stars will be un- der the co-managership of "Packy" Shea of the Tribune A. c. and Ed die DiNapon of the Brooklyn A. c. All told, IT players have offered their services and these include rep resentatives of every club in the circuit. Interest of course will cen- ter around the appearance not only of the Colored Giants but also around the much heralded appear ance of Roy Talcott, the hurler who pitched Princeton to the first and second Ivy league championships in its history in 1941 and 1942.

 ON CARD FRIDAY
One More FOur=ROunder to Be Signed Today for
 Outdoor Opener

Sailor Buck Boring of New Ha- ven and Billy Marcus of Hartford this morning were signed by the Waterbury A. c. for four rounder on the initial outdoor boxing card of the season at Randolph Gloves Stadium tomorrow night. Another four rounder will be arranged to- day to round out the card which promises plenty of action as name boxers dominate each bout.
 Louis Kid Cocoa of New Haven, who has beaten such opponents as Eddie Dolan of Waterbury, Paulie Walker, Bobby Orr, Andre Jessurun, Holman Williams, Teddy Loder and Werther Arcelli, highlights the card in an eight-rounder against Milo Theodorescu, Rumanian well terweight champion who recently visited Marlene Dietrich, Hollywood movie actress in California.
 Milo is grand prospect because he has unlimited physical courage and great pugilistic ambition. The way he tears into opponents, fists battering at them, indicates he loves to fight. He can shake off punches and comes back, a fury of action. He'll have to be at his best tomorrow, for in the Cocoa Kid he's facing one of the best in the bus mess.
 Irish Eddie Dolan, Waterbury's own, returns to the roped area after a long layoff to battle Rego Dell, tough Scranton, Pa. slugger, in the co-feature of eight rounds. Dell is not stranger to Waterbury fight fans, having shown on several indoor and outdoor cards in the past. He's fearless scrapper, always coming in, and should give the local south paw plenty of trouble.
 The customers should be treated to real slugging match in the six rounder between Dula Kovach, pride and joy of Naugatuck, and Tony Gillo, New Haven favorite. Though both are not the cleverest in the world they love to fight and when science is thrown to the wind, as they generally toss it, anything can happen.
 Milo arrived in the city early this afternoon and lost no time in predicting that he would give Cocoa "the fight of his life".
 The Rumanian better, pointed out that he has never been stopped in bouts with many of the leading well

 In the two mile DeGeorge will match strides once more with Giza and Schwarzkopf.
 Tn the half mile .Raffsrty will run against Whitmore of the New Ha- ven Harriers, who is Connecticut's 1942 half mile title holder. To date the Harriers have entered 30 runners. Included in this squad will be five state A. A. U. title holders. They are J. Conl2y, high jump; Huge Cannon, discus, who only last Saturday broke the state record by better tha nseven feet; Giza in the two mile, Whitmore in the half mile and Singsen in the broad jump.
 Beside Schwarzkopf on the Yale squad will be Greene who won the state A. A. U. pole vault making it a total of six state A. A. U. title holders.

Winner of the Fleetwing Handi- cap at Empire City last Saturday in record-equaling time, the grey glider carried 130 pounds on that occasion and won the title of the Whirlaway of the sprinters by his impressive performance. Now he is asked to pack another two pounds, and to carry one of the heaviest imposts in the history of New England racing.
 He will cary two more pounds than did Whirlaway in the recent Massachusetts Handicap, and he will spot brilliant field of rivals from 12 to 32 pounds in the event that trainer Harris Brown accepts the weight. The son of the imported Sherab has won five consecutive victories, and it is expected hat he will be shipped here from New York in an effort to make it six straight
 Other nominees and their weights as assigned by racing secretary Tur- ner, are Overdrawn, 12O; Trans figure, 118; Omission, 118; Hysteri- cal, 116; Air Master, 115; Valdina Alpha, 115; Bright Willie, II; Doubt Not, 112; Watch Over, 112; Abra- sion, 11O; Red Vulcan, 1O9; Curious Coin, 109; Hicomb, 108; Night Edi- tor, 107; Road Scraper, 103; Powder Bluff, 1O2; Fly Ty, 101; Marion Col nns, 101; and Ended, 100.
 John R. Macomber of Framing ham, famous sportsman in whose honor the race is named, intends to start his capable sprinter, Red Vul- can, in an effort to annex his second straight victory in this event. At 1O9, he seems to be suitably weighted and will receive an edge of B pounds over the sensational Doubl- rab.
 George D. Widener's Overdrawn, another of the top flight sprinters of the nation, is expected to be shipped here to renew a rivalry with the champion which began in the Fleetwing last Saturday, when OveUdraWn finished third

Old-time rivalries that opee made history in parochial anl public grammar school baseball leagues flared again yesterday when two teams of high school students clashed at Fulton park. Former members of St. Margaret's, Driggs and Kingsbury schools playing un- der the names of the Clovers and Cracker Hill, Jrs., were the prin- cipals. Following see-saw battle in the early innings the Cracker Hills applied the power in the final frames and checked up a 13 to win.
