 IN DESERT
 I5 TRAPPED
British Communique Says Tank Divisions Try
 ing 10 Escape

CAIRO, June l. = The bulk of Field Marshal Erwin Rommels two German tank divisions, the back bone of his African corps, is reported trapped, attempting to escape the British forces of It. Gen Ritchie.
 According to British dispatches, a fierce battle is being waged on all sides and from the air in an effort to wipe them out.
 The Germans only hope, the con- munique indicated, is to win "a bat tie of gaps" by holding open two narrow passageways through the British mine fields to the westward, cleared by the Germans where they concentrated their anti-tank artil- lery to protect their route of escape
 The British declared that Gen. Ludwige Cruewell. in direct com mand of the African corps under Rommel, has been captured.
 He is the former commander of an armored division in Yugoslavia and is said to have been taken pris- oner when his reconnaissance plane was downed in the desert

NEW YORK, June l.-Some time in June and possibly even as late as July, Hitler plans to give the com mand for a general offensive along the entire Russian front. More than that, he hopes to march into Turkey and Iran, in order to execute one of his famous pincer movements.
 This information came to me on the last day of my stay in Lisbon from a German source so well in the know of things that I cannot doubt its veracity.
 The recent see-saw struggle on the southern Russian front, my in- formant pointed out, was merely the preparatory action of cleaning the boards for the major action which is impending unless the United Na- ticns spoil Hitler's game by really erecting a second front on the west quickly and efficiently thereby compelling Hitler to take large con- tingents of his troops and air force away from Russia
 Hitler intends to finish" Russia by dramatic general assault along the whole line and from every pos sible angle. He intends to put all of his eggs into one basket to concentrate on this one military problem.

LULU SEEN IN RUSSIA
 FIGHTING
Germans, However, Re- ported Mdssing Tanks
 for Big Attack

MOSCOW, June 1-The three weeks of battles in the Crimea and Ukraine districts which opened the spring campaigns on the Eastern Front have ended in calm which finds new lines established on both sides. Both the Germans and the Russians apparently are preparing for new, and perhaps more violent assaults.
 As a result of their early May offensives, the Germans now are holding advanced lines. Kerch Strait separates them from the Caucasus where the rich oil fields lie. The Russians, meanwhile, are occupying deep wedges about Kharkov.
 The Ukrine fighting lull was signalized in Soviet communique which said there was nothing at all to report from the front.
 The Germans, however, are re- ported to be massing a vast cen centratipn of tanks behind the southern front. Russian reconnais- sance pilots said that in one sector they saw an armored column which stretched through the streets of one city and on through the suburbs as far as the horizon.

 The Episcopal Church of St. James at Sault Ste Marie called him as rector in 1882 and he re- mained nearly IA years when he was made bishop of the Alaska diocese.
 On June 5, 1882, just as he be- came rector of the parish at Sault Ste. Marie, Bishop Rowe married Dora H. Carry. After he husband was consecrated bishop on Novem- Der 30. 1895.

 On October 2l. 1915, Bishop Rowe married Miss Hose Fullerton of Winnipeg, Three sons were born to them.
 Bishop Rowe made his first air. nlape flight in August, 1926, being pilcted from Nome to Tigara by Noel Wien. The bishop was inclined to apologize for his flight. explain ing that an urgent call from an Eskimo village led him to under take it.
 But after aviation became an ac- cepted fact in the north he used planes almost exclusively for his rounds and covered as much of his diocese in months as he formerly did in three years by dog team There were only three churches in bis territory when he started, but by 1889 there were 37 and three hospitals.
 At 82. on brief vacation in New York, he looked back to his 43 years in the north, recalled gold rush friendships with Jack London, Rex Beach and Tex Rickard and remembered preaching several ser mons in Richards gambling place in Nome.

LONDON, June 1.-Three-fo -fourths of the city of Cologne was set afire and a great area of the German Rhineland metropolis of three fourths of a million population was flattened by the tremendous weights of explosives dropped by l,250 Royal Air Force planes Saturday night in the greatest air raid in all aerial warfare.
 The British announced officially that reconnaissance aircraft report ed that a plume of smoke towering over the ruins wrought by the de- vastating force of nearly 6,000,000 pounds of bombs, was still visible throughout Sunday from the Euro pean coast.
 Air officials emphasized that the raid was carried out entirely by British aircraft.
 9O-Minute Raid
 English newspapers predicted that the raids will be three times as large when the United States Air Forces get into action here.
 For 90 minutes the bombs crash ed and the hellish flare of incen- diaries was sprinkled over the old Rhineland city, leaving it fam ing ruin.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WESTINGHOUSE the tires on your car wear smoother, you are wondering what has happened to the ambitious plans for production of synthetic rubber announced so reassuringly by Jesse Jones months ago.
 Well the unfortunate answer is: There just ain't going to be more rubber for civilian use until 1914 ,
 Reason is the big war program, the long time required to build fac tories, but also the inexcusable pickering of rubber experts over contracts and processes-especially over the use of alcohol or petroleum as a base for synthetic rubber.
 And behind this is a basic three way struggle among CD the oil companies, CD the farm belt, which wants to turn it's surplus grain into alcohol, and t3) the big eastern alcohol companies which don't want to jeopardize their investments in Cuban molasses as source of al- cohol.
 To get the full picture, examine the background of the Govern ment's two leading rubber experts. E. R. Weidlein, advisor to Jesse Jones and the Rubber Reserve Cor poration, comes from the Mellon Institute of Pittsburgh, with big business viewpoint and an oil-com- pany bias as to whether petroleum or alcohol is the better raw mater ial for synthetic rubber
 The other chief rubber expert is Arthur Newhall, Coordinator of Rubber for the WIPE. formerly with B. F. Goodrich. and indoctrinated with the viewpoint of the big rubber companies. Newhall was pointedly criticized by the Truman Committee this week.
 Now take specific example of delays in rubber.
