 Rev. Evers testified under direct examination that Father Pelypenko. working hand in hand with the al- legged spies although secretly work ing for the FBI, told him at their first meeting in May, 194l. at Bal timore, that Rev. Molzahn had sent him.
 Father Peilypenko, Pastor Evers said, asked him if he would contact the German embassy.

Pone Protests Arrests

EOpG TrOVCStH ArTGSW
 Vichy, Aug. 1--(Delayed) UP)- Pope Plus XII, speaking through the Papal Nuncio at Vichy, has told the heads of the Vichy government that he does not understand the treatment accorded Jewish refugees and entrated them to end "these inhuman arrests of defenseless people" 1t was reported by an un- impeachable source today.
 In consequence, 1t was reported that Chief of State Marshal Henri Philippe Petain asked the German occupation authorities to limit the arrest of Paris Jews to those of non- French origin. to cease deporting French Jews to Silesia and to stop breaking up French Jewish families.
 The Nuncio, Mgr. Valerie Valeri, placed the problem before Petain while seated beside him at lunch con. The talk turned to the de- portation of foreign Jews who hed sought refuge in France and the aged marshal remarked that the problem was very unpleasant.
 However, I have one consolation ' he added. The Pope understands and approves my attitude"
 The room was quiet and the reply of the priest carried through the room.
 Petain Is Told
 Marshal Petai1, the Holy Father neither understands nor approves, he said.
 The next day he saw Petain in private audience and reportedly told him:
 "The Holy Father entreats you to put an end to these inhuman ar- rests of a defenseless people"
 The arrest Of Jews and other refugees from countries overrun by the Nazis has been confined to Co., cupied France, but in the free zone anti-Jewish legislation provides for confiscation of property of Jews and refugees and 1t was expected, until the Nuncio's intervention, that eventually refugees in the free zone would be treated as are those in occupied territory.
 Arrests of refugees in the free zone reportedly were to have been started at Lyons, where thousands particularly those from central Eur oje, Alsace and Lorraine, are con- centrated. No arrests have been made, however, and diplomatic cir- cles indicated the order was can- celled because of the Nuncios in- tervention.

 Informants said that recent &C., tivity of light British navy coastal craft along the English channel meant that Britain had now gone to the offensive in this type of harassing warfare between the Eng fish and German-occupied coasts.
 When Britain had only few of these ships. 1t was explained they were forced to act defcnsively In channel waters.
 But now, an informant said. with increased strength they were taking the battle to German waters.
 We can look forward to an in- creased scale of attack" it was said.
 Italian Steamer Sunk
 London. Aug. 6-(uP)-A British submarine has torpedoed and sunk the S00-ton Italian steamer Adda in the Mediterranean and badly dain- aged another enemy supply ship which was run aground under pro- lection of Italian coastal batteries, 1t was announced today.
 A number of survivors were res cued from the fully laden Adda, an admiralty communique said
 Following the sinking of the ves- sel the submarine intercepted the second enemy ship and attacked 1t with gunfire. The Italian ship beached herself while Italian bat teries on the east coast fired at the submarine.
 The submarine was not hit. the admiralty said.

New Admiralty Post

London, Aug. 5-(UP)-A new high admiralty post was created to- day so that Adm. Sir Dudley Pound, chief of naval staff and first sea lorad, could spend more time on duties connected with plans and operations"
 A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, announced to the House of Commons that Admiral Sir Charles Kennedy-Purvis had been named deputy first sea lord so Pound would be able ito devote the maximum time to duties connected with plans and operations and also deal with all large questions in con- nection with the development of the fighting efficiency of the fleet as re- gards training and material"
 He said that Kennedy-Purvis would take over Pounds adminis- trative duties, including superin- tending the work of the naval staff.
 Kennedy -Purvis commanded the first cruiser squadron in the Medi- te rranean from 1936 to 1888 and then, after serving as president of the Greenwich Naval college and commandant of the Royal Navy War college, was sent in i040 60 command in chief the British fleet in American and West Indian waters. He was recently released from an active command to an un- named foreign station.
 To Commons members eagerly awaiting any hint of the possibility that 8 second front might soon be opened in western Europe, Sir Staf- ford Cripps, lord privy seal and leader of the House., announced that Prime Minister Winston Churchill would not make 8 state- ment on the war situation before the Commons summer recess.
 This was the third time that this announcement had been made re- gently, and 1t showed the anxiety oi members over the general situation and their vain insistance on g Churchill statement.
 Cripps promised that there would be the usual provision at the ad- journment to call the House into extraordinary session If necessary
 German Subs Halted
 London, Aug. 5-(UP)-Germar submarines no longer regard the American coast as soft spot and may have been forced to seek other waters in which to prey on Allied commerce, ofncial British sources said today.
 Increased defenses and adoption of the convoy system in the Pan- anna and Caribbean areas were cited as coinciding with decreased scale of submarine attacks.
 This probably indicated that the U-boatg have. been forced to seek other waters" an authorized in' formant said.

 18,OOO Jews Seized
 According to these advices the Germans had rounded up 18,000 Jews in Paris, including children, for sterilization. And they had started new wave Of deportations from Alsace and Lorraine into east ern Europe.
 The chief deportation victims were entire families suspected of United Nations Sympathies, 1t was said, and they were forced to give their farms and livestock to the Germans.
 Advices regarding the "spy ring" said that the Germans charged at least 10 persons in unoccupied France with complicity.
 These 10 were arrested, it was said, but they escaped from Bergerac prison, where they were awaiting trial or transfer to the Germans. and were believed to have left France with their jailer who aided them.
 It was said that the alleged lead- CT of the ring" was woman with several children.
 Advices asserted on reliable au- thority that the Papal Nuncio to Vichy, Monsignor Valerie Valeri, had protested personally in the Pope's name to Marshal Henri Philippe Petain and Pierre Laval against the mass arrests of Jewish refugees in occupied France.
 It was said also that German bishops had protested anew to Adolf Hitler against six violations of the German Vatican treaty, espe- cially against Nazi attempts to pre- vent the administration of the Last Sacrament to dying persons.

why this ordinance was not en-
forced and it was the consensus
of those present that if the or
dinance was enforced it would
help the situation to some ex-
tent.
City Solicitor Charles B. Holts-
berry told the gathering that a
committee named at the last
meeting had been investigating
the possibility of constructing an
underpass at South Buena Vista
street and would have more to
report at a later meeting.
Samuel A. Anderson, service
director, told the group he would
be willing to go with a commit
tee before the state Utilities
commission in an effort to get
them to act on a proposal to
have all trains stop before they
get to the East Main street

complished, it was pointed out,
the condition would be alleviated
somewhat.
