 GIVEN WARNING
Next Guilty Person to Get Full Limit of Law, $lOO
 With Costs
(NEA Telephoto)

A warning that the next person found guilty of illegal storage of gasoline will be fined the maximum Of $10O and costs was given by Judge E. E. Conway in municipal court today as he imposed g fine of $50 and costs on George Frank, S6, of 130 North Main street.
 Frank admitted storing ten quarts of gasoline in the basement of the eight family block at 1S0 North Main street where he lives. He said he planned to use the gasoline for operating motor boat on a nearby lake.
 Lieut.. Eugene Legge of the staff of Fire Marshal Dennis Laiey testi- fled he found the gasoline while making g routine inspection. He said that Frank told him the gaso- line was bought about three weeks ago.
 Thought It Severe
 After sentence had been imposed Frank told'the court he thought the penalty was severe in view of his 11lterpreCaLlOn or an insurance pOAIcy which permits him to have 25 pounds of gasoline on the insured premises. He said that the container was double sealed.
 Judge Conway answered that storage of gasoline is violation of a city ordinance. He added that gasoline at this time "is not in- tended for use in motorboats. There is better use for it." ......
 You're lucky you weren't fined $10O and costs," Judge Conway told the accused man.
 Frank Is the third man to be arraigned in court since the gaso- line rationing program started on charges of illegal gasoline storage. The first paid $25 for a nolle and the second was flned $50 without costs.
 He was given an extension until tomorrow to pay the $50 and costs.

NAzI 'HANCMAN'
 DIES OF WOUNDS
German News Agency BrOadcasts Death By Bul-
 lets of AssassinS

London, June 4-(UP)-The off, cial German news agency said in radio Berlin broadcast today that Reinhard Heydrich, deputy chief of Gestapo, the Nazi terrorist called ''The Hangman," had died from bull let wounds inflicted by assassins in Prague eight days ago.
 The agency said an official an- nouncement of his death would be made soon.
 Heydrich, known throughout Ger man n-occupied Europe as the hang man, because of his ruthless bru- tality in suppressing their residents, was wounded last week as he sped in his automobile through Prague streets toward the Berlin highway by two middle-aged men on bicycles using repeating rifles.
 German specialists, sent to the former Czechoslovak capital in an effort to save his life, extracted three bullets from his spinal column.
 2O2 Dead Victims
 The Gestapo, striking swiftly and ruthlessly in retaliation for the kill ing of its No. man, had slain, until today, 202 innocent Czechs in reprisal executions. Now that Hey

BRITISH FORCES
 HURL BACK AXIS
Gen. ROmnlel Trying Hard
 to End Pressure; Chinese Fight Hard Again
BY HENRY T. GoRRELL

Limited Press Stan COrreSpOnuent)
 Cairo, June = (U.P0 = British armored forces have hurled back Axis units from a strong point in the Knightsbridge battle area and repulsed an enemy thrust at the southern salient of their main Liby- an desert line, Middle East head quarters communique said today.
 Colonel General Erwin Rommers forces were battling desperately to relieve increasing Allied pressure, as the combined Imperial and Free French troops kept the initiative.
 Six miles west of Knightsbridge, the desert crossroads 28 miles south west of Tobruk, British armored units drove the Germans from Ta- mar, one of RommelS key points east of the Imperial mine fields, the communique revealed.
 The British scored this success on Tuesday while Rommel concentrat- ed on plans for eliminating the Sir Hacheim or southern salient of the imperial line, 48 miles southwest of Tobruk.
 The communique said another Axis attack, involving Italian troops and "sorne" German tanks, develop ed at Sir HacheiIn yesterday "but was not pressed home"

 May Hit United States
 These preparations showed thai officials are not discounting the pos. sibility of e Japanese assault on continental United States or Can ada. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson warned last week that such attacks were inevitable because the Japanese would want to avenge the 'Stinging, humiliating surprise blow" struck by American bombers in April at Tokyo and the other prin- cipal Japanese cities.
 Some military experts, however, believed the Dutch harbor attacks might be preluce Co a Japanese attack on Siberia. The United States Alaskan bases would be a threat to the Japanese northern flank should they attack Russia.
 The Japanese have long regarded the American-owned Aleutian chain which extends in an arc some 1,5OO miles westward from the southwest tip of Alaska, a potential threat to their empire. Dutch harbor is the major American base in those is- lands and lies some 1,400 miles east of the nearest Japanese islands and about 2,500 miles from Tokyo.
 There was another theory thai the attacks against Dutch Harboi were inspired by a Japanese feeling that the American air attack on Tokyo on April IS originated there.
 There was no information here as to the starting base of the Japanese raids on Dutch Harbor. Most expert opinion here was that Japanese airs craft carriers participated in the operation.

 Washington, Jure 4EUP) - Dutch Harbor is the trigger of the pistol-shaped Island of Unlaska which points at Tokyo and is loaded with promise of an offensive against Japan.
 That is why Japan attacked Dutch Harbor. Whatever the ulti- mate objective, the Japanese knew that Alaskan bases constitute a threat of large-scaled offensives against the Japanese islands.
 From Dutch Harbor, 1t is 250C miles-11 flying hours-to Tokyo.
 When this correspondent toured Alaskan defenses late in 1941 il was generally believed among mill itary men there that the Japanese would strike at Dutch Harbor quickly in case of war with the United States.
 The question was whether Amer ican workers and engineers could build Qualifications was enough tC withstand an attack, when and il the blow-off should come. They were working day and night in g race against time.
