TRIAL OF NAZI
 SPIES SECRET
tContinued from Page 1)

The first official word that the trial had started came last night when Riddle told reporters 1t would resume in the morning (to- day)." It had been obvious, how ever, that the proceedings were un- der way.
 Riddle told reporters he could say nothing because he was under orders from Maj. Gen. Frank R. Mccoy, president of the commis- sion.
 q don't want to be court-mar- tialed," he added, laughingly.
 The OWI's attempt to get daily statements on the trial involved the new chief of the OWT, Elmer Davis, in his first major contro- versy.
 The climax came Tuesday, it was learned today, when Davis appoint ed Henry Paynter, OWI repre- sentative, to meet with the military commission and plan release of statements from time to time on progress fo the trial"
 Mccoy declined to oee Paynter who waited for some time after sending word in to McCoy's of- flee that he was there. After send- ing in word of his desire to see Me- GOV a second time, Mccoy was said to have sent back 8 note reading:
 'The gentleman need not wait The general will not see the gentle man."
 Must Await Verdict
 Tn view of the failure of OWl officials to persuade the military commission to make announce ments concerning the progress o1 the trial, 1t appeared likely tha, nothing would be made public until President Roosevelt announces thc verdict of the commission and the sentence.
 Despite the secrecy, there was g carnival aspect the first day crowds gathered at each entrance to the building hoping to see the nrincipals. Concessionaires set u[ stands to peddle ice cream and no' dogs. 4s,,

 Most Daring Commander
 Lunin, is one of Russia's most daring submarine commanders He has a star record of Sinkings of enemy transports and patrol ves- sels in the northern seas.
 The announcement of the torpe- doing was the first Allied word of action in the Barents Sea, off the Arctic coast, where Germany claimed it had sunk 32 out of a con- voy of 38 ships in an Anglo Amer ican convoy en route to Murmansk The midnight communique said: Our submarines in the Parents Sea hit the battleship Tirpitz with two torpedoes, intlicting serious damage"
 It reported at the same time the sinking of a German transport in the Barents Sea and the damaging of another in the Gulf of Finland. The communique was supple mented by official information that the great Tirpitz, probably the most powerful battleship afloat, and be- lieved to be of more than 10000 tons, had left a Norwegian harbor several days ago with its cruisers to prey na big Allied convoy.
 Were Watching For NaZis
 (It was indicated that the Rus sian Naval intelligence had received word that the German squadron was at large and had posted sub- marine and perhaps other sentries to watch for 1t.
 London revealed that the British Admiralty had known that the tir- pitz had left Trondheim, Norway, tc operate along the convoy route te Murmansk.
 Although the battleship was pro- tected by 8 screen of destroyers, an official statement said, 'Captair Lunin decided to break through anc attack the Turpitz.
 Two torpedoes found their marx and the battleship was heavily dam aged. The German squadron wa compelled to abandon further oper' ations and it withdrew to the Nor wegian Fjords.
 "The convoy was enabled to con tinue on its way and 1t arrived safe ly at Soviet port"
 Germany Denies It
 Berlin. July 9- German broad cast recorded by U. P. in New York The high command today denied Russian ssertions that the 25,000 ton German batleship Admiral Tir pitz was attacked and damaged by Soviet submarine in the Barent Sea.
 GA Soviet announcement early to day said two torpedoes fired from Russian submarine seriously dam aged the Tirpitz, sister ship of tn sunken Bismarck. The Tirpitz wa said to have been attacked in tn general area where the German claimed to have sunk 32 merchant ment and heavy United State Cruiser, in Russia-bound convoy)
 This is mere invention" the higl command said regarding the Rus sian announcement. ''The battleshi Tirpitz neither was damaged no attacked at all"
 (The Tirpitz last was seen at SC , last March when British naval tor pedo planes reported attacking an chasing her to a Norwegian Fibre } Later the British located the Tirpit at Trondheim).

 Tt looks like they're reaching the end of their rope" one Aussie said. "The Germans are like sheep being attacked by wolves-huddling ever closer to one another for mutual protection"
 Only few hours ago I saw 8 formation of German planes, m- cluding hastily-assc nbled reserves, routed in a desperate and unsuc- cessful attempt to counter the AL lied aerial mig.
 Fled for Home
 In one sortie, daring South Afri- can pilots intercepted 20 Messer- schmitt-7 ross destroyed at least two and sent the remainder scurrying for home.
 The l..esserSchmitts were attempt ing to destroy ope of the strong British mobile armored columns such as those that have been stab- ping as far as 35 miles west of the axis front line during the past l2 hours.
 Rommel lost at least 12 grounded planes in a large-scale Allied thrust against one of the major axis air. dromes. Dozens of fighters and bombers attacked the airdrome in what the participating pilots termed "a staggering blow to Rommel."
 Even as write the constant drone of Allied aircraft can be heard over head. These planes-manned by British, Australian and South Afri- can flyers-are operating on non- stop, shuttle system, attacking en- emy troops and positions unceas- ingly.
 The intensified aerial assault ob- viously has the Germans worried. Rommel now is sparring for time, sporadically smelling the British po- sitions around Fl Alamein while try ing to map his next move.
 There is no question of Allied aerial superiority. The Germans rarely dare to send planes into &C., tion because they know the risk.
 we have more bombing and fighter planes in the desert today than at the start of Rommels push eastward" an RAP officer told me. This is due partly to the constant arrival of new aircraft, and also to our recovery system which cenables us to repair speedily any damaged craft"

 Chinese forces also have recap x tured Poyang, on the east shore of z Lake Poyang, an important base for Chinese naval units. The Gen.

 @ In the north more than 800 Jap anese bodies were left on the south- . ern slopes of the Taihang moun- tains in southern Shansi province, army headquarters said, after en- {. emy forces were routed after 8 7 three-day battle.
 The Taihang fighting was re- z newed July 2, when 2,000 Japanese 7 from Hochein and Lingchuan start ' cd an offensive backed by artillery
 and air support, but the defenders
 forced the enemy to retreat on the third day.
 The fighting along the Kan was about 65 miles southeast of Man. chang, below Changshu, a town the Japanese have been besieging but which the Chinese say they have not taken.
 Mondays raid was the second on Hankow in less than week. In the first attack on July 2, allied bomb- er5 destroyed 12 grounded planes at the Hankow airfield and sank an enemy gunboat at its Yantze river dock. I. The allied attackers were credited with destroying v Japanese planes l in their first three raids last week on enemy bases at Hankow, Nan chang and Canton.
 A military spokesman said that 10000 Japanese troops were being concentrated in g new enemy drive southwest from Nanchang in an at- tempt to seize the 200-mile Kiangsi- Human railway.
 The enemy forces, he said, were attacking from the east, aiming at ]. Chinese positions in the Yuhua mountains along the east shore of the Kan river and South of Chang shu. 4S miles southwest of Nan eEeng.
 The towns of Changshu and Fenchang, on the railway about 30 miles southwest of Nanching, still arc in Chinese hands, the Spokes-
 man said. He acknowledged, how ever, that the Japanese had reached aiaeir outskirts.

Moscow, July 9.-(UP)-The Ger mans, having broken through Rus sian defenses west of Voronezh, to- day were reported developing drive on Svoboda, 56 miles to the south, junction of the Moscow-Rostov, Kuibyshev and Don Basin railroads.
 F'ront-line dispatches, dated yes- terday, said small units of more than a dozen German tank and motor- ized divisions storming the Soviet defenses around VoroneZh had Suc- ceeded in crashing through. Ii Voronezh is taken-the Germans already have claimed 1.-the last important railway between Moscow and the oil of the Caucasus will have been cut.
 The threat to Svoboda, an even more strategic point, because some of the most important railway lines in Russia join there. developed af- ter Soviet forces withdrew from Stary Oskal, 65 miles southwest of Voronezh. The Germans apparent ly now intended to drive 80 miles southeast to Svoboda and establish a solid front between there and Voronezh, cutting the Moscow-Ros- toy railway at another point, as well as the Kuibyshev and Don Basin line.
 Battles Rage On
 Great battles have been raging on the Kalinin front, northwest o1 Moscow, for 10 days with the tempo of the fighting increasing and the Red army scoring successes, dis patches said.
 Fighting is heavy on three sep arate sectors with number of in- habited places changing hands al most daily, the Red Star Reporter said. The Germans, in an effort to improve their positions, have been attacking strategic villages witt as much as two infantry division. and 35 tanks at each point, ant since July 5, sizeable air battle! have been fought
 The Germans have used 12I planes, and in the course of | separate battles in one day, IT enemy planes were short down, bringing tt 35 the number destroyed in thre' days.
 Dispatches said that upwards 0 2000 German tanks pushing towart the Don continued to widen tn salient in the Voronezh region ant at a point near Stary Oskol. Sovie counter attacks forced the German from several villages northwest 0 VoroneZh.
 The noon Soviet communiqu said, Last night our troops tough battles with the enemy west c Voronezh. On other sectors ther were no important changes"
 Quoting late reports, the Sovie army organ Red Star said tn situation west of Voronezh and i the Stary Oskol region remaine most grave, that a vastly superio enemy was unremittingly attackin and compelling the hard-prese Russians to retreat.
 Fighting Is Fierce
 Especially was fighting fierce 1 the Don Basin, Red Star said. Mass es of more than 800 German ar mored vehicles were trying to fore the river.
 "In order to achieve quick, de cisive results, the Germans hay thrown in every reserve they ca spare from the southern front, in cluding a full Hungarian corps, Ru manian and Slovak troops and tfl crack first brigade of the (German SS corps,' Red Star said. Marshal Semyon Timoshenko ws cotlnter-atIacking on the Germa flank at Orel, l50 miles north { Voronezh. but there was no in mediate report on his progress.

 On July 4 American submarines torpedoed four destroyers and left another burning fiercely". Three of those were attacked at Kiska; the fourth was sunk at Agattu.

STRANGE VISITOR
CHAPTER VII

After that u. S. o. dance for
the cadets at Lincoln, "every-
body" seemed to know that
Duane Hogan was rushing pref
ty Nancy Hale. The newspaper
columnists abetted the people in
spreading the talk. And it made
doubly good news because big
Duane. from A. and M. College
was VIGOROUSLY girl shy. Only
Duane himself seemed not to
hear the news.
Happiest of all was Nancy
Hale. The young widow who
had known so little of gaiety and
good times now seemed to find
them served to her with figura-
tive whipped cream. The cadet
flyers were all boys just out of
college. To be among them, to
live in loft" apartment over
their gymnasium, to work as
secretary for their coach - this
was little sort of perfect. Her
baby son Scooter had gifts and
attentions showered on him. He
had not one but two, complete
if diminutive, Lincoln football
uniforms, and it was Known that
both he and his mother would
be on the L inc o In bench at
every game. 1t was under
Stood" too, that they would sit
by Duane, during such moments
as he wasn't in action.
After Thursdays dance, Nancy
and Blythe Miller had become
rather intimate again. 1t made
Blythe uncomfortable, but it
couldn't be helped. Blythe was
, upstairs with Nancy for lunch
on Friday noon.
Darling" Nancy spoke i'm
pulsively once, from deep in her
heart, 81 have to thank you
again for helping me. don't
know what all you said to him,
or what you did. But I'm max
ing progress!" She w n k e d,
knowingly, in intimate girl-to-
girl style.
It made Blythe want to cry
out in anger, or in Illustration
and tears, having thus to hear
mistaken thanks. She hadn't
spoken to Duane! She hadn't
done anything to "help" Nancy
Hale win him! Indeed, she had
pledged herself bitterly to 60
out and compete with Nancy
at every turn. And yet - she
hadn't been able to. Something
inside her had kept her tied.
And now that Nancy was unwit-
tingly torturing her with this
appreciation!
It was during this same noon
hour when Nancy's bell rang,
and she called down for Duane
to come on up and visit.
Blythe felt a moment of panic.
But that's silly!" she forced
herself to think. "After vi, /
