BY TIE Associated fFeSS.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Red-
haired Mrs. Irene Handy, former
model claimed by Prince Mo-
manned Az Raschid as ! his wife
''in the eyes of Allah" tore up a
scented lavender letter in court
yesterday and later admitted she
had written the letter to the Prince.
All Raschid, who says he is "a
descendant of the prophet Mo-
hammed," was placed under 81 900
bond yesterday after hearing on
an assault charge filed by Mrs.
Handy's estranged husband, who
declared the Prince struck him with
cane in an argument over the
ex-model.
Mrs. Handy brought the Prince
into Long Island City Court on a
disorderly conduct charge, assert
ing that he had paid her an "un-
welcome visit"
When the lavender letter ad-
dressed to "Mohammed beloved"
was introduced as evidence by the
Princes lawyer, Mrs. Handy seized
it and ripped it apart while her
lawyer shouted mo, no, Irene!"
and the judge banged his gavel.
why did you tear it up?" asked
Magistrate Jenkin Hockert.

Handy said She then admitted
that the handwriting was hers. and
that she had signed herself Para

ing spell he needs to prepare to
check the next Axis onslaught
in the direction of Stalingrad
and Astrakkan, which are likely
to be the objectives.
The principal goal of the
Nazi high command in the south
is not only to capture the rich
oil fields but to cut off all pos
sible supplies of oil and gasoline
from the Russians.
The loss of so many factories
which have fallen into the hands
Of the Nazis has been felt by the
Soviet forces. But war materials
obtained from the United States
and Britain have remedied that
deficiency to q great extent.
Withdrawing in Good Order.
In view of the lack of tanks
and also of the difficulties of
transporting liquids over the
railways from the Arctic to the
fighting front, it is obvious that
we cannot possibly provide our
allies with fuel for planes and
motorized equipment.
Thus, if the Nazls succeed in
holding Rostov-and they are
certain to entrench themselves
strongly this time-and are able
to advance toward the Caspian,
thus cutting the Russians off
from the Oil of the Caucasus, the
situation OF the Soviet armies,
even If they can withdraw in
good order, will become precari-
Gus.
AS a matter Of fact, all reports
received in Washington and
London indicate that Marshal
Timoshenko's forces have not
been routed. They have with
drawn in excellent order without
losing an unduly large number

sives, thanks to the production
of war materials at the Putilov
works and other factories in that
region.
Ofncial Washington quarters
are, of course, deeply concerned
over events on the eastern front.
The pressure from Moscow and
London to create a diversion by
attacking the Nazis in France or
other German-o occupied countries
in Western Europe has increased
in the last few days. But it is
doubtful whether anything more
than a demonstration Is possible
at this time.
The American high command
maintains its previous position
that this is going to be long
war and that a strategy based on
temporary expediency would be
detrimental to our final victory.

Ry GOULD LINCOLN.

ny NOOAO AANCOAN.
With tempers flaring on both
sides of the Mead Bennett con-
test for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination in New York,
some of the more cautious
party leaders today were seeking
a way out. The suggestion was
made in some quarters that pres
sure again be applied to Gov.
Lehman to run. There was no
reason, it was pointed out, why
Gov. Lehman could not become
a successful compromise candi-
date. So far, he has attacked
neither Attorney General John
J. Bennett, jr., nor Senator Mead.
1t was well understood months
ago that If Gov. Lehman would
run again, Democratic State
Chairman Jim" Farley would
60 along with him.
Gov. Lehman, however, finally
issued a fiat statement in which
he said he would not be a can
didate to succeed himself, nor
would he run if nominated. Later
he iauded 1t Gov. Poletti for
the nomination, declaring he was
the proper man for the place.
Those Democrats who favor
drafting" Gov. Lehman to run
again tear that a finish fight
between Senator Mead and Mr..
Bennett, backed by Mr.. Farley,
would be disastrous and lead not
only to defeat of the Democratic
candidate for Governor but also
endanger some OF the Democrats
in the House seeking reelection.
If they are selfish in this, they
are only natural. They do not
wish to see Republican victory.
Say Time Never More Ripe.
The New York Governor, they
say, has twice before been per-
suaded to lay aside his personal
desire and to seek reelection as
Governor. In their opinion,
there never was a time in the
past when he could have slipped
into the breach as we'll as today.
So much for the compromisers.
To other Democrats, it looks as
though it is too late to COM
promise. To them, it appears
the fight must go on. The un-
qualifiedly bitter denunciation of
Senator Mead by Chairman Far
ley is the most blistering indict-
ment of any potential candidate
ever made by him. Mr.. Farley
said he considered Senator Mead
unfit for the Governors office,
that he had shown himself both
vacillating and deceitful. This
indictment may have serious
effect on the availability Of Sen
ator Mead as a candidate and on
his chances Of victory at the polls
In case he is nominated.
This kind of attack can scarce
ly fail to lose Senator Mead votes,
particularly if it is continued. Mr..
Farley has many friends and
supporters in the Democratic
ranks and organization in New
York. The Republicans will bide
their time and make use of this
material If and when Senator
Mead is nominated.
Perhaps, If Gov. Lehman
proves adamant, some other COM
promise candidate will be trot-
ted out. There have been as
serticns that Gov. Lehman, now
serving his fourth term, might

material seems to have been lost,
however.
In a campaign in which tanks
move at the rate OF IS miles a
day and planes strafe communi-
cation lines over an area Of sew
eral hundred miles it Is a physi-
cal impossibility to save large
quantities of war material, unless
it has been moved back long be-
fore the enemy starts his main
attack.
Thus, it is doubted In Washing
ton military quarters whether
much of the guns, tanks and air
port ground material used in the
actual battle has been preserved.
Military observers believe that
for the present the Nazis will
reinforce their lines around Ros-
tov, continue to make some minor
feints in that area and direct the
major blow either in the strongly
fortified and well-defended re-
gion of Moscow or against the
industrial Leningrad area, which
has been invested for the last
. eight months.
Information has come from
various reliable sources in recent
weeks that considerable activity
has been going on behind the
Leningrad front, indicating that
the Finnish-German forces in
that area may plan an all-out
assault against that city. Lenin-
grad is vital railway center and
the home of some of the Soviet's
major armament factories.

Mexico Hints Approval

MEXICO CITY, July 25.-The gov

speculation today that the admin
istration might approve the dispatch
OF troops abroad by publicizing SEN
ate Leader Leon Garcias assertion
that 1t would be preferable for
100000 Mexicans to fight the Axis
anywhere in the world" than to
permit invasion of this country.
Garcia's statement was made In
speech yesterday at Aguas Cali
entes during tour to range public
opinion behind the nations war
effort.
He has spoken before of the DOS
sibility OF Mexican troops having
to tight on foreign soil and there
has been some debate as to whether
he Is rejecting official opinion.

at the northern end, almost en-
circled, and Moscow partially en-
circled.
From Rostov, at the southern
end, they were advancing toward
the goal of the Volga River.
Hitler, in the ruthless driving of
his troops in the final desperate
effort before winter closed in. was
in sight of the great prize of the
summers costly struggle.
If Leningrad and Moscow were
captured and the channels of
Allied aid and rail and water
transport from the Russian Oil
fields cut off, Hitler thought the
Russian Army organization would
crack. Russian resistance would
be reduced to large-scale guer-
riua resistance. In early Novem-
ber such a disaster seemed inevi-
table.
If decisive victory were won,
Hitler could turn his attention
west in defiance of second front
when Britain was still concerned
about possible invasion, we were
not yet in the war, and our war
preparations but fairly started.
Rail Route Kept Open.
But just as Hitler thought
triumph was near, his fingers
were frost bitten and being ham
mered on the knuckles. German
Withdrawals included the loss of
Rostov, gateway of the Caucasus.
But it was no gateway as long
as the Russians grimly stuck to
the Kerch Peninsula and Sevas-
topol. Unless the Germans had
these positions, any advance from
Rostov was open to thrusts from
the rear.
Not only had the Germans
failed to take Leningrad and
Moscow and lost Rostov, but the
rail route north from the oil
fields was open all winter and
that of the Volga has been open
since the ice broke. Vital pipe
lines were still secure. Allied
aid was coming in by the Arctic
and the Caspian Sea routes.
Last years German plan had
been too ambitious. This years
should be for a limited objective.
Preliminary preparation for it
was the mastery of Sevastopol
and all the Kerch Peninsula.

rest of the front were left for
later reckoning in an eventual
gas famine
What of the Russian Army
along the other two-thirds of the
front? The German aim was to
keep it inactive or so tease it
with threats it would not move
south to meet the main attack.
Therefore, when any one talks
about the danger of the Russian
Army being overwhelmed, he can
refer to only one of the armies
which make up the whole. This
Is Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's.
Effective Diversions.
At Voronezh, northern point of
the present battle line, Russian
forces presumably drawn from
the north, have made effective
diversions, but they have not
prevented the German sweep into
the area within the big bend Of
the Don River.
The Don swings east close to
the Volga opposite Stalingrad, a
great munitions center on the
Volga. then west. The Don emp
ties into the Sea of Azov and the
Volga into the Caspian Sea, their
mouths 400 miles apart.
If this is simple geography we
get nowhere without it in under
standing the fateful drama in
strategy about to be enacted. So
far we have had only the first
act.
Marshal Timoshenko Is form
ing his final defense line for the
Caucasus on the east bank Of
the Don and the south bank as
the Don bends toward Rostov.
But Rostov is also on, the south
bank. And a German thrust
from Rostov, if the Germans take
it, is in flank of Timoshenko and
threatens his rear lines.
More important still is that
south of Rostov is the Kerch
peninsula, which is now in COM
plete possession of the Germans.
1t is known that the Germans
have mobilized many transport
planes and gliders on Kerch just
across the narrow strait from the
mainland.
They wait the signal for their
part in parachuting or landing
a big force of troops in Timo-
shenko's rear forces. Other &C
ton may also wait on timing, in
cluding Japan's offensive against
Siberia.
To reach the main oil fields, the
German offensive has to 60 far
ther than it has gone in its
longest swing in its present ad-
vance. A flanking movement
from Rostov and Kerch may force
Timoshenko to fall back to the
Caucasus mountains.
That will bring the Germans
within better bombinb range of
the fields, but also bring the
within better bombing range of
the bombers the Allies have
banked up in Iran (Persia.) The
Germans are In danger of pres
sure from the rear by the Russian
northern armies. With the oil
fields at his back Timoshenko
does not lack gas. Once he wore
the Germans down to exhaus-
ton. He may do it again, and
again Hitler may have his hands
on the prize only to lose it.
