 HOME FROM JAPAN
145l Refugees Are Aboard Boat; Ambassador Grew
 Glad to Be Home

Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 25-(UP) The Swedish diplomatic exchange liner Gripsholm arrived from Japan today with 1451 refugees from the Orient, among them United States Ambassador Joseph c. Grew, who stepped off the vessel with a conf1- dent predition of Allied victory over the Axis.
 The ambassador to Japan, who disclosed that he has already filed his complete report with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, said he left his wife in South America, presum- ably Riode Janeiro, to visit daugh- ter.
 We have come home," he said, "to contribute our maximum efforts to the winning of the war in what ever way we may find or to carry out whatever part we may be called upon to take.
 we shall win through with our national spirit and determination without any show of doubt to ulti- mate victory. I thank God that we are here to contribute to that vic- tory"
 Grew said he would spend the night in New York with another daughter and go to Washington to- morrow. He said he preferred not to discuss any of the diplomatic as poets of his stay in Japan or his departure.
 Did Not Speak
 Asked about reports that he had Snubbed Ambassador Mkchisaburo Nomura of Japan, when American and Japanese nationals were ex- changed in Lourenco Marques, Por- tuguese East Africa, Grew replied:
 T will say only this, I did not speak to MT. Nomura."
 Clad in gray flannel suit, with green tie, Grew was the first pas senger to leave the Gripsholm.
 Another arrival was his first sec retary in the Tokyo embassy, Ed ward Crocker, who received the off, cial Japanese declaration of war at the American embassy in the ap- sence of the ambassador. He was met by his wire, Mrs. Lispenard Crocker, who said they would go to their island home at Kittery, Me. She left Japan IS months ago, she said.

Final Balloting Is Taking Place Today to Decide
 Representation

The final balloting in an election to determine the labor representa- tives on labor management com mittee was being conducted today at the Waterbury Mfg. Go. branch of the Chase Brass & Copper Go. by the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration. It marks the first time that the state board has ever su- pervised an election for the U. s. War Production Drive Committee and the first time that the WIPE has asked a state agency to repre- sent it.
 Today's balloting is a run-off of a preliminary election held Aug. 4. Today's outcome will determine the A employees who are to represent the Mfg. Go. workers on the labor management committee.
 The unusual procedure was de- cided on because no union yet has formal bargaining rights at the plant. The Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union, CIO, has asked for an NLRB election but it will be held later.
 The company has nothing what ever to do with the voting, every thing being under control of the state board. The management will not even see the ballots, getting only report from the state on

Moscow, Aug. 25.-CUP)-Front- line reports said today that strongly reinforced Nazi armored columns were driving southeast toward Stall ingrad on the east side of the Don, forcing back the outnumbered Rus sians under "tens of tons" of bombs from dive bomber fleets.
 GA British radio report said that direct communications between Moscow and Stalingrad may already have been severed" The German high command claimed that Naz troops have hoisted the swastiks over Mount E1brus, highest peak ir the Caucasus, 60 miles southwest ot Pyatigorsk)
 A huge pail of smoke was re- ported hanging over the 60-mile front from Kletskaya south to Kotelnikovski, rising up from the burning villages and prairie fires which raced across the steppes.
 Smoke was so thick, the dis patches said, that even in daylight the sun often was no brighter than at dusk.
 Into this inferno, reports to the Communist party newspaper Pravda said, the Nazis were dropping large numbers of parachutists, attempting to establish positions along the line of Soviet retreat.
 Bulk of Nazis Are Over
 (The Berlin radio reported today that the bulk of the German divi- sions" attacking toward Stalingrad were now across the river Don and had pierced strong Soviet defenses east of the river)
 Russian troops mopped up several parties of 100 or more Nazi para chutists army with tommy-guns, machine guns and mine -throwers which had been dropped behind the Soviet lines.

Tt is apparent" said Judge Smith, "that Molzahn took some part in the conspiracy to transmit Ameri- ca1l military secrets to Germany and Japan. Although there is no evidence that he gathered informa- tion, he did take part in the con- spiracy by assisting the leader in leaving the country and he also took part in the conspiracy which affect ed the welfare of the nation.
 "He therefore deserves a substan- tial serious penalty"
 The testimony of two other de- fendants, German-American Bund leader Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze, and Or. Wolfgang Ebell, Fl Paso; Tex, both of whom have been sentenced to prison, exonerated the Rev. Molzahn, the defense argued.
 Government prosecutor Thomas J. Oodd contended the pastor was giv- en a fair and impartial trial and op- posed granting of the motion in a brief argument. before the bench.
 Government Prosecutor Thomas J. podd, pressing for 8 maximum sem sence of 20 years, declared the pas- Sor-a former German cavalry of ficer-had made plans only a few days before his trial to escape from &his country in a small boat.
