Russians Show No Indications Of Collapse, But There Is Grave Fear
Red Army May Not Fall, Even Though Caucasus Is Lost; But SOviets May
 Not Again Recover Their Strength
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War Deskl

Germanys steady advance into southern Russia, which the Red army has been unable do more than retard at occasional points on the Don-Caucasus front, presents another danger to the Allied cause other than possible loss of the Caucasus. The Red army shows sign of collapsing. It may not col- lapse even if the Germans take the Northern Cauca- danger that its strength may be so impaired in this gigantic campaign that it may not again be able to take the ofensve it did at the beginning of last winter.
 This danger will be greater the Germans get the Caucasus oil and seriously interfere with the SUD- ply line from Iran The Red army deprived of the food oil and industry of the Don basin and the Caucasus would find
 its fighting power seriously reduced That is of the used by those who advocating second front while Russia still has chance of taking the initiative They point out that if the Red army made incapable of attack for attack the Middle East through Egypt to concentrate in western Europe to frustrate Allied in vasiOn.

Eight Nazi Saboteurs Not To Know Fate That Awaits Them Right Away
President Will Reveal Ver- dict Some Time in
 Near Future
BY FRED MULLEN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Aug. 3.-UP)-The fate of the eight Nazi saboteurs tried before special military com mission will be announced at some future time by President Roosevelt, the commission announced today.
 The commission met for two min utes this morning to tell the eight defendants that they would not be informed of their fate for the time being. Earlier, 1t had been disclosed that there would be no public an- nouncement of the decision until President Roosevelt had reviewed the case and revealed the verdict.
 The text of the conmunique by Maj. Gen. Frank R. Mccoy, presi- dent of the military commissiop5 af- ter the brief session:
 'The commission recenvehed at 11:05 a. m.
 "The commissiocF announced that the findings and sentence will not be announced by it.
 "Tne commission adjourned at 11:07 to meet at the call of the President"
 Will Study Verdict
 At the White House, Secretary Stephen T. Early said he expected the records of the case to be de- livered some time today. But he said the chief executive would study the matter carefully before reach ing his decision, and said there would be no public announcement before tomorrow at the earliest.
 MT. Roosevelt might announce his decision during his press conference tomorrow afternoon.
 It has been expected that the com mission would announce, at least to the accused, whether 1t had found them guilty or innocent of the three charges preferred against them-espionage and sabotage, and conspiracy to commit both.
 There had been considerable speculation earlier today that the morning session Of the commission might be opened to the press and the Jubnc. This belief arose from the commissions announcement yes terday that it would meet in open session" this morning.

Churchill In Russia To Talk Second Front
Reports to That Effect Broadcast in Europe; Some thing Is Doing Over There on Report; United
 Nations Pleased Over Confusion
BY NED RUSSELL Press Staff COrresDOndent

\OHAGCU KTCSS StdH OOTTGSpOMUenbD
 London, Aug. 3-(UP)-Reports were broadcast throughout Europe during the weekend that Prime Minister Winston Churchill had flown to Russia to discuss a second front with Premier Josef Stalin.
 Stockholm news agency reports of the flight quoted Lisbon. Vichy quoted rumors current at the Brit iSh legation at Berne," Switzerland, and Berlin quoted the Rome news paper Popolo DItalia, which in turn quoted Stockholm.
 Rome embellished its version by reporting that Stalin had accused Churchill of betraying the Soviet Union by not opening a second front.
 Berlin quoted the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter as re- porting from London that Gen George c. Marshall, United States army chief of staff, had been named to command British and American second front forces.
 Russia itself entered suddenly and vigorously into the second front discussion.
 In a German language broadcast, Moscow said Russia, Britain and the United States had agreed on 8 second front in Europe in 1942 and that Germans would be confronted with 15,000000 soldiers, 85,0O0 tanks and 50000 planes.
 Apparently the broadcast did not mean to imply any new agreement, but referred to the agreements reached in the recent American British Russian negotiations at Washington and London.

 New York, Aug. 3-(UP)-A silk masked gunman stepped silently in- to "The Goulash House." a midtown gambling parlor, an hour after mid night today and shot dead one of the nations biggest betting commis- sioners and a kibitzing mobster.
 The gunman fled, leaving behind four frightened witnesses and the shirt-sleeved bodies of Robert B. Green, 40, Wall Street betting com missioner who maintained swank homes in New York and Palm Beach, and Morris (Dimples) Wolen, A, hoodlum with a record of five arrests in Boston ranging from window-breaking to burglary.
 It was like 1928's Arnold Roth stein murder all over again, an un- solved staying of the tra's topmost gambler, which occurred only a block away at the Park Central ho- tel.

It may be realization of this fact that brought on yesterdays Moscow broadcast appealing for 8 front and caused renewal of second front arguments in the Moscow news papers
 The situation undoubtedly will in- fiuence the deliberations of the AL lied high command in London, but the fact remains that military con- alterations and military possibili- ties, not public pressure, will dictate the time and place of a second front.
 The difficulties in the way of an invasion of Europe have been gone into again and again, and no amount of discussion can remove them. They still exist. The only value of the discussion appears to be as form of war of nerves" on the Germans.
 Air Supremacy Sought
 In addition to the acute shipping and supply problem, the Allies are faced with the problem of attaining air supremacy. It has not yet been reached and there is no way for the layman to guess when it will be reached or what hidden strength, the Germans have which must be over- come.
 We do not know that the British are working night and day to attain it and that the American Air Force in Britain is growing impressively. But the excessive optimism which was caused by glowing official pre- dictions at the time of the first four-f1gure air raids has given way to feeling of disappointment and at the delay. That there will be further delay seems certain.
 A British commentary, estimating losses in present multiple plane raids at about per cent, considered a reasonable figure, points out the strain it entails.
 If the British were to make 1,0O0- bomber raids every night on we'll defended targets in Germany, it would mean the loss of about 1,500 bombers month-equal to Britain's entire first-line strength when the war began. Tn addition there would be an approximate loss of 5000 highly y-trained men. The task of training enough flyers to lose at that rate is formidable

 Francis Fisher Kane, Philadelphia lawyer and a member of the battery of defense counsel, charged Father Pelypenko sought ito entrap Rev. MolSahn into the conspiracy"
 Father Pelypenko was the govern ment,s star witness in the case--a priest who worked hand in hand with the alleged conspirators and, on the side, made reports to the government.

 Did it come from himself (Rev. Molzahn), or did 1t come from the agent?"
