 At first he proposed to enclose with 1t the resolution calling for disobedience as the alternative to Independence now.

 The defense indicated it may be Tuesday or Wednesday before the Philadelphia pastor goes on the stand to tell his own story. At least five or six additional character wit neSses, including two nuns. remained to be called by defense counsel be- fore the Rev. Molzahn, who hasn't spoken an audible word in the court room since the trial opened, takes the stand.
 The government has been cross examining each witness put on by the defense with extreme thorough ness, and frequently the cross takes longer than the direct examination. It was regarded as certain the gov ernment would spend considerable time in questioning the ruddy-faced Philadelphia cleric.
 Friday To Jury
 It probably will be next Friday before the case reaches the jury of eight men and four women.
 Rev. Molzahn, who comes into court each day carrying huge brief case bulging with material, was &C., cused by the government of using the address of his Philadelphia par iSh as return address for Gelhard William Kunze, chief of the Ger

 Washington, Aug. 8.-(UP)-"We could lose this war" the Office of War Information warned the na- tion today.
 The country, as whole, is not yet ankle deep" in the fight against the fanatical men" of the Axis.
 "There is no doubt that the American people mean to win this war" 1t said. But there is doubt that all of us realize how hard we are going to have to work to win it,
 We have done pretty well, but pretty well is not enough. Nothing will be enough till we have won"
 Prepared by owl Director Elmer Davis and his staff. 1t was the first major, all-embracing statement of the new agency charged with de- veloping "an informed and intelli- gent understanding" of the war.
 Described by Davis as "a review of the general situation" 1t said that:
 Production, measured against mili- tary needs, lis not enough" for vic tory and the June output of planes, tanks, naval vessels and most types of artillery was slightly behind schedule"
 SinkingS Increase
 Merchant ship sinkings liar ex- ceeded new construction" during the first half of 1942 and even if ship building continues to rise and sink ings to decrease, we shall probably be well into 1943 before we have as much merchant shipping as we had on Dec. 2, l94l."
 It is certain that we are not go- ing to win without heavy losses of men" and the nation had better prepare itself for that eventuality.

 The governor objected to Brad ley's reference to him as just having woke up to the realization that the American people want to win the war"
 Where" asked the governor. "has Mir. Bradley been these last 1S months?"
 The governor then outlined his record In office. "The Record" said Governor Hurley" stands for all to investigate and MT. Bradley is aware of that record"
