Food, Fiber Shortage
Reported Growing
In Nazi-RuIed Lands
France Faces Six Weeks
Without Bread; Reich
Curbs Grain Milling
py the Associated Press.

py the Associated Press
The Agriculture Department,
in a summary of recent cables on
European food developments,
told today of increasing difficult
ties confronting Germany and
NaZi-occupied countries in pro-
ducing and supplying their peo-
pie with food and fiber crops.
Unoccupied France was said to be
facing six breadless weeks before
the new wheat harvest because of
diversion of grain by the black mar
kets, illegal use of wheat for feeding
livestock and poultry, counterfeit
ration cards and failure of farmers
to deliver the quantities expected.
The department said reports from
Germany indicated that stringent
measures were being taken against
violators of food rationing regula-
tions.
Recent restrictions on the milling
of wheat and rye indicate, the de-
partment said, that German grain
stocks have declined to level where
economies must be effected to in
sure against a poor crop at home
this year and the possibility of sup
plies from Southeastern Europe fall
ing below expectations.
Agricultural production in Den
~ly xx,1, iAk> SV1 N
half of normal, was said to be seri-
ously threatened this year by the
late spring, shortages of fertilizers,
seed and labor.
The department said Germany
hoped to obtain the production of
sufficient food in Ukranian Russia to
meet the needs of NaZi occupation
forces and for the bare maintenance
Of the local population.
Reports indicate" the depart
ment added, that spring sowing in
the Ukraine is no easy task owing
to the shortage of machinery and
horses taken or destroyed by the
Russians. Despite repairs and re-
sumed production of some farm
implements, spring work must be
chiefly manual. 1t is impossible to
till the land thoroughly, owing to
insufficient plows.'
The department said the labor
shortage was especially severe in
the southern districts of the Ukraine
but that Germany planned to pro-
cure workers from cities.

 Secretary Knox said that he and Admiral Edwards and their aides were making routine inspection trip of Atlantic coast bases as far as Key West, Fla, and planned to return to Washington sometime Friday. He emphasized that no special significance should be at tached to the trip.
 Secretary Knox said he had wis., ited operational headquarters of the first naval district in Boston and watched army and navy officers work side by side with "very good" cooperation. He said the best of relations seemed to prevail in their joint operations and that they were doing a good job."
 Asked if the navy was considering drafting men, he said there are no plans for such a move at present because i've are getting satisfac- tory results by volunteer reruiting. Sometime 1t may be necessary but not yet"

 scene of the accident and later at Waterbury hospital she staggered. was incoherent in her speech and was boisterous. This testimony was supported by Sergeant McWeeney and Officer Jones and Sergeant Pat- rick V. Hillborg who was at police headquarters when Mrs. Browneu was brought in to be booked.
 Officer Fibre said that Mrs. Brownell told him she might have had two glasses or six glasses of wine.
 Mrs. Brownell said she remem- bered nothing from the time her car turned over until she "came to- at police headquarters with a ter- rife headache. She claimed that a scratch on her head and other bruises had caused her to become excited.
 Dr. Harold J. Cleary, called as a defense witness described Mrs. Brownell as highly emotional" and said 1t was possible that the arrest ing officers might have mistaken her reaction to the accident as in- toxication.
 He said that he was called by Mrs. Brownell's attorney to examine her the morning following her arrest. He said that he prescribed nothing for her.
 Judge Conway commented that If the woman had been hurt as claimed she certainly would have been kept at Waterbury hospital for treatment.
 Bonds of $500 were set for an ap- peal to the court of common pleas.

 Lieutenant General Niehoff, Ger man military commander at Lflle, announced that 50 Communist had been deported for sabotage. 1nas- much as executions and deporta- tions are German companion re- prisals for sabotage, 1t would appear that some patriots also had been shot.
 It was against this rising tide of disaffection and the prospects that it would increase on Bastille Day that General Oberg, chief of the geStapo in France, ordered all male members over IS of the families of French patriots accused of sabotage and attacks on Germans executed within 10 days If the patriots did not surrender.

 It was doubted that such threats would discourage patriots, although Gen. Charles De Gaulle. leader of the Free French renamed the fighting French to include patriots resisting in France = had advised against violence.
 De Gaulle told his countrymen in a Bastille Day message broad- cast yesterday to put out the tri- color flag of liberty, equality and fraternity" today, to walk the streets and to sing the national aYl- them, ''The Marseillaise."

 imum penalty of death.
 The roundup of confederates oi the Nazi saboteurS who were lanoeo in this country by submarine 10 carry out 8 mission of destruction against war industries was believed to be continuing as the trial or the saboteurs entered its sixth day.
 Announcement of the arrest Of the IA alleged confederates was made yesterday. They included the par ents of one saboteur, Herbert Hans Haupt, who not only had time after his landing in this country to make contacts in Chicago but to aflance himself to a shapely Chicago oru- nette who since has tilted him.
 In addition to Haupt's parents, MT. and Mrs. Hans Max Haupt Of Chicago, the alleged confederates included his uncle and aunt, MT. and Mrs. Walter Froehling, also or Chicago, and MT. and Mrs. Otto Richard Wergin, friends of Haupts family.
 The Froehling home allegedly was to be used as hiding place by the saboteurs and as a clearing house of espionage data, and information on the progress of the sabotage mission.
 The Wergins' son, Wolfgang, ac- cording to the federal bureau of 1n- vestigation, departed for Germany with Haupt year ago. Young Wer- gin is believed to be in Germany
 The aliens apprehended also in- cluded Mrs. Maria Kerling, wife of sabotuer Edward John Kerl1ng. She never had a chance to see her hus- band between the time he landed from a submarine near Jacksonville Fla and the time he was seized by the FBI.
 The FBI charges that all the al- leged confederates were aware Of the sabotage mission and one, Wer- gin, allegedly offered to assist Haupt.
 The trial appeared to be moving more expeditiously late yesterday on the basis of the evening communi- que of Maj. Gen. Frank R. Mccoy president of the commission.
 Mccoy disclosed that the FB1 counter espionage agent who had been on the stand since Saturday had completed his testimony and the remainder of the afternoon ses- sion was devoted ito the examina- ton and crosse examination of cer- tain other government witnesses.
 The FBI agent was the ninth witness called since the trial began last Wednesday. Mccoy did not disclose the number of witnesses called after the agent left the stand

other demonstrations, his srevices were in demand by many barn. storming pilots.
 He has had four forced jumps and on two occasions fell out of the ship. His first fall occurred when one of his students became Wedged in the plane door. Waltz gave him a push but lost his balance and fell head ling through the door himself. For tunately, he was wearing a para chute at the time.
 38 Jumps in One Way
 Another unexpected descent oc- cured while on an assignment for 8 mountain resort. He was taking pictures of proposed landing field, standing with one foot outside the plane on a strut, the other hooked into the cockpit. About that time, the plane went into spin, brush- ing Waltz off balance. Over he went but his parachute saved him and the expensive camera he was using.
 While acting as chief tester for an eastern parachute manufacture ing concern, Waltz made a total of 38 jumps in one day. On the same day with World War ace Bob Lind say as pilot, he made two jumps from 2,000 feet in the fast time of nine minutes from the time of take off for his first jump to the landing for the second one.
 Of all the humorous incidents in his experience, Waltz believes the 7,500 foot descent he made into a freshly irrigated cabbage patch is the outstanding one.
 A woman busily engaged with rake in the patch must have thought him man from Mars because Waltz had to beat nasty retreat when she began shouting and waving her rake at him.
 Made Low Altitude Jumps
 Waltz also has made several de- layed jumps, the longest of 13,000 feet.
 During a recent demonstration at Long Island, N. Y, he made two low altitude drops with a newly design ed chute. After dropping less than ten feet he opened his parachute at 250 feet from the ground on one jump, 500 feet on the other.
 It is Waltz proud boast that he has given parachute jumping in- struction to ITO students in one year without a single failure or injury.
 Moviegoers have seen his work in a number of aviation pictures, among them "Hell's Angels" But the major portion of his parachute work has been for demonstration purpos- eS.
 Waltz came here from Reno, Nev., where he was associated with the Parachute Rigging School as chief instructor. He is a member of the Nevada State Police and Captain of the Washoe county, Nev., Sheriff's Aerial Squadron.

Continued from Page 1.) front. where the Germans have broken through and are threatening Rostov, Stalingrad and the Cauca- sus, there has been no open demand by Moscow for an immediate Allied military expedition against the Germans. Presumably the Russians still are satisfied with the arrange ments made and are relying on the United Nations not to let them down.
 If so, 1t is an encouraging thought at a time when the Germans are at the peak of their major summer offensive and have scored successes both on the southern and central fronts.
 Situation Not Clear
 The situation on the southern front is not any too clear. Shortly after the Russians admitted Ger man break through near Voronezh, the Red Star, Soviet army news paper, said the Russians had start ed g. strong counter-attack on wide front there.
 Russian withdrawals near Rzhev, northwest of Moscow, and around Voronezh. need not be viewed with too much pessimism. The main German effort is in the Voronezh area and the action on the central front may be diversion as part of the southern push rather than drive for Moscow.
 It would be surprising, in view of the huge force the Germans have thrown in the southern drive, that they should rot score at least initial success in the first weeks of the drive.
 The Russians undoubtedly have built defenses in great depth and can always withdraw to prepared positions. Since they have expect ed the Caucasus drive for months, they have had ample time to make their dispositions.
 It was these withdrawal tactics which enabled the Russians to stop the German offensive last autumn. whan it was stopped. the Russians

(Continued from Page 1.) July of pretty Frances Cochran, 19- year-old Lynn bookkeeper, local po- lice announced.
 Deputy Police Chief John Healey, who talked by phone today with New York authorities, said the 30- year-old suspect, held on vagrancy charge, resembled descriptions of the dark-complexioned man in whose square backed automobile the Lynn girl apparently rode to her daeth.
 Miss Cochran's ravished and mu- tilated body was discovered in a lonely lovers lane three days after she had disappeared last July IT,
 Police here said the suspect had been arrested near a Schenectady nurses home and that he had in his possession obscene photographs, articles of women's apparel and tresses of women's hair.
 They said he was known to have been in Lynn, Salem and Greater Boston about year ago and that he was the owner of an old automo- bile. r
 Police said they would send rep resentatives to Schenectady If an- other telephone conference sched- uled for late today sustained their suspicion.

French should not unnecessarily provoke the Germans, because so many innocent would suffer.
 The Germans forbade celebrations in occupied France, ordered no more than three people to congregate at one time on the streets, and black Shirted gestapo men, heavily rein- forced, were on 24-hour duty.
 De Gaulle'S message was regarded as an open challenge to Marshal Henri Philippe Peta!n, French chief of state, and Pierre Laval chief of government. Vichy announced that there would be only minor cere- monies" in commemoration of the dead of both wars" and that most members of the cabinet would at- tend services in St. Louis Cathedral.
 Another Landmark
 Washington, July 14HUP)-Bas- tile day was expected today to be- come another landmark in Franco American relations with the possi- bility that 1t may be celebrated by an official statement on future rela- tions between the two countries.
 President Roosevelt, in message short-waved to Frenchmen on their national holiday, hoped that they may soon enjoy the blessings of Libery, Equality and Fraternity" Those blessings were won 153 years ago in the French revolution and lost two years ago to Hitler.
 The message was issued on re- n1InCt N% fHHn Na1xy Vn~Iy HS.a,HOIn guage paper La Victoire. It gave the president another opportunity to help buoy the spirits of the French people and to strike Q nsw blow in the psychological war against the Axis.
 "On this anniversary which has SO deep a significance to every lover of Democracy" he said, T express the hope that the people of France may soon enjoy the blessings of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity"

 The OPA said the new plan would be announced before permanent ra- tioning goes into effect July 22. The 50-mile zone had been established to prevent motorists from the ra- toned area from going over into the un-rationed areas to buy gaso- line without being charged for 1t on their cards.

 Waltz parachute jumping career started by accident. While flying in Mexico, he took to his chute to save his life when fire broke out. He dropped about 5000 feet before remembering to pull the rip-cord, landing safely but considerably shaken by the experience.
 Nevertheless, he went up again the following day and made vol untary jump. His second descent gave him the idea of becoming a professional jumper, and after sev- eral exhibitions at air meets and
