Germans Are Pushing On Toward Stalingrad
Nonstop Offensive Is Raging for Fifth Day; Nazi Machine Is Only 40 Miles From City, Russians
 Must Defend to Death
By HENRY SHAPIRO Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Moscow, Aug. 22- -(UP)-T'he Germans nonstop offensive for Stalingrad ragged unabated in its fifth day today, and their superior weight in tanks and planes slowly pushed the tired Russians back on both Hanks, one of which was only 40 miles from the city.
 Although the Russians sharply counter attacked, killing thousands of Germans and knocking out scores of their tanks, the enemy fed divi- sion after division of fresh troops into the assault.
 In the loop of the Don river, southeast of Kletskaya and 40 miles west of Stalingrad and the Volga river line, the Germans were doing their utmost to mop up the west bank and establish foothold on the east bank, from which they could launch a final assault across the Steppes,
 The Germans already had forced the Don twice. The first crossing was wiped out; the second, more than 48 hours ago, was all but de- stroyed and its remnants driven back to the very edge of the east bank of the river.

Two Ferocious Battles Are Begun Near Solomon Islands
Democratic Party To Consolidate Lines After Spirited Primaries
Efforts of CIO to Beat City Administration Met With
 Failure

The Democratic party of Water bury today was reforming it's lines for a common front in the Fall elec- tion after the sharp primary con- tests climaxed by the voting yester- day. Nominated for state senator were Senator Michael V. Blansf1eld in the 18th district and John F. To- bin in the 16th district, the first an administration candidate and the second a candidate violently op- posed by Mayor Vincent A. Scully and the party leadership.
 Efforts by the CIO to win control of the 18th district by electing Will liam J. Stanton, sportsman and union member, were defeated by the organization. The CIO in turn, however, helped beat the City Hall choice, Patrick J. Wallace, in the 18th district.
 All But One Precinct
 MT. Blansfield carried all but one of the 21 precincts in the first, sec ond and third wards as he rolled up a vote of 2,087 to SPA.
 MT. Tobin beat the organization in it's strongest sector as he car ried the fourth and fifth wards, los ing only 5-7, the Fairlawn district and 4-3, MT. Wallace's home sector.
 The primaries in general were ex- tremely quiet and the total vote was only of what it was in the primaries of two years ago. There were only 5,000-odd Democrats who bothered to go to the polls yester- day, compared with 5000 taking part in the 1940 primaries. There are 10000 listed as party members.

By EDWARD w. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent

(United Press Staff COreSpOndent)
 London, Aug. 22-(UP)--A new surge of patriot activities in Ger man-occupied Western Europe was reported today as the result of the Allied raid on Dieppe, and Vichy France took stern new oppressive measures to discourage patriots aiding the Allies in their next at tack.
 A big explosion occurred yesterday in Henrik Ibsen street in Oslo. Norway, near a Kuisling police sta- ton, British sources reported. Twen- ty armed Belgian patriots over powered guards at mine near Marcinelle, seized 25 cases of dyn- amite and 3,1OO detonatorS and threw them to the bottom of the shaft where they exploded. All escaped. Two Belgian patriots were killed by the Nazis for "endanger- ing German occupation forces.
 In Holland, Netherlands authori- ties reported, Boy Scouts Cubs" organized by secret woman leader, started a campaign of derision against German occupation troops.
 In groups of three and four, the Netherlands News Agency reported, they ran into the streets before parading German troops and imi- tate the Nazi goose step until street crows burst into laughter and the troops lose step.
 The boys also are stealing Swastika flags from Nazi automo- piles and bicycles.
 Death Sentence
 The Vichy government yesterday prescribed the death sentence for all persons whose use radio tsans- mitters flor anti-national purposes. |" and life Imprisonment for all who secreted such transmitters.

Gilbert Islands Are Hit By New Invasion of Marine
 Fighting Men
JAP BATTALION IS
 ENTIRELY WIPED OUT
Jap Planes Bomb Their Own Men in Surprise
 Smash of Marines
BY FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Headquarters, Unite d States Pacific Fleet, Pearl Harbor, August p. - (UP) United States Marine killed 842 Japanese and took 30 prisoners in a raid on the Gilbert Islands and in two ferocious fights in the Solo, mons, and it was reported today that they might even now be engaged in new offensive oprations against enemy bases.
 In the Solomons the Marines wiped out one entire Japanese re- inforcement battalion of 700 men, killing 670 and taking 30 prisoners, and killed 92 in another fight.
 They killed at least 80 Japanese and destroyed radio installations, stores and two seaplanes in their raid on Maxim Island, in the Gill berts, and guns of the supporting fleet sank a small transport and a gunboat. The Presidents eldest son, Major James Roosevelt, was second in command.
 Japanese planes, sent under emer- gency orders to aid the enemy forces on Maxim Island, bombed their own men and installations in their ex- citement.
 The Marines lost 34 men killed and 85 wounded in the two Solomon Islands engagements which cost the enemy 762 dead and 30 made prisoners, and losses in the Making Island engagement were described as moderate, considering the na- ture of the engagement which was a daring assault on a strongly held base in face of direct fire from the beaches.
 Back Into Jungle
 Admiral Chester w. NimitZ, ar- nouncing the American victories in two communiqueS issued at his headquarters here where the Pacific war began in the Japanese sneak attack December ', said that in the southern Solomons the Japanese had been driven back into the jun- gle and the hills which rise sharply few miles inland in the Volcanic Islands.
 There are daily skirmishes. Nimitz said, in which both sides are suffering casualties.
 But it was clearly indicated that the Japanese losses were astonish- ingly high in proportion to those of the marines and that as had been hoped, the Solomons offensive had become an historic American vic- tory.
 Nimitz revealed that Maj Roose- welt was second in command In tho Maxim raid under Lieut.. Col. Evans F. Carlson, of the marines, with Comdr. John M Haines leading the naval support force. None of the three was 8 casualty.
 Close -mouthed Nimitz in the first he had issued since the first days of the Solomon of. fensive which opened Aug. T, nadO it plain what the United States Pas cific fleet, which the Japanese ir- tended to wipe out in their sneak attack, is now doing.
 Maxim Is 2,400 miles southwest of Hawaii and 1,275 miles northeast of the Tulagi area, of the SolomonR. 1t is 5000 miles from the AleutianS where the navy and the army air force are operating against enemy held bases.

FEDERA JURY CONv|CTEDH HIM IN TWO HOURS Lutheran Pastor, Former German Cavalry Officer
 Awaits Sentence KUNZE, COMPANIONS
 SENTENCED TO PRISON Judge J. Joseph Smith Gives Defense Time to
 Make Any Motions
BY JACK AMMAN United Press Staff Correspondent)


 Hartford, Conn, August g - (UP) = Convicted by a federal jury on a charge of betraying American military secrets to the Axis powers, the Rev. Kurt Emil Bruno Molzahn, 47-years-old pastor of old Zion Lutheran church, Philadelphia, and former German cavalry officer, was remauded today into the custody of U. s. marshal, awaiting sen- tence - which the government de- manded be the maximum penalty Of 20 years.
 Tho pastors conviction. which came after deliberation of only two hours, paved the way for the sentencing of three others involved in the conspiracy.
 Gerald Wilhelm Kunze, American born leader of the German-Ameri- can Bund, drew a sentence of 15 years. He had pleaded guilty to an indictment handed up by a federal grand jury last June.
 Dr. Wolfgang Ebell, Fl Paso, Texas, who served in the German Imperial army during the first world war and who was accused of helping Kunze escape into Mexico, was sen- fenced to seven years in prison.
 Y. N4&o VIYil111y,Aait ThiOaOn mid. western Bund leader, who also pleaded guilty and testified for the government, received sentence of five years.
 One Already In Prison
 One other defendant, who pleaded guilf1ty soon after the case was broken by federal agents more than two months ago-Anastase A. Von- siatsky, Thompson, who allegedly furnished the money for the spy ring = already has begun serving five year prison term.
 The Rev. Molzahn, charged with allowing the address of his parson- age to be used as a post office for return mail of Kunze, will be sen fenced by Judge J. Joseph smith Tuesday morning.
 The Philadelphia pastor was charged by the government with being the heavyweight" or leading hgure in the conspiracy which cov- erad a period of les sthan a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

PRESIDENT GETS
 GREAT SURPRISE
News That His One Son Major Roosevelt Played
 Part at Maxim

Washington, Aug. 22-(UP)-The news of the part played by a lanky marine corps major in the success ful raid on Maxim island probably came as complete surprise to his father who is commander-in-chi of all armed forces.
 A White Hoouse spokesman said he doubted that the President had had advance knowledge that Ma jor James Roosevelt, his eldest son, would be second in command of the raid. I'm sure that the President will be delighted" he added.
 Major Roosevelt's participation and the successful operations, Sec retary William D. Hassett said, would be good news to MT. Roose- vfelt, no doubt"
 T doubt if the President knew Jimmy would be in on the raid," {" he said. That's merely my guess of course"
 He pointed out that although the President is commander r-in-chief he

CHICAGO, May % tP) -
Dizzy Dean still has plenty Of
crowd appeal and ugh
strength left in his officially re-
tired right arm to sign at least
couple hundred autographs and
pitch one inning of ball.
Dir returned to Wrigley Field
as manager of an all-Star team
yesterday, opening the game on
the mound against Satchel Paige
and Negro aggregation of Kan
sas City MonarchS. The former
Cub and Cardinal hurler fired
over some curves and several
WhiSkered fast balls to set down
the first three batterS to face
him without a hit. Then he turn
ed the chores over TO John GrOd-
zicki Of Fort Knox, KY, former
Columbus pitcher in the Amer
lean Association.
29,775 ATTEND
Dean spent the rest of the
game in the coaching boxes
while the Monarchs belted out a
81 decision. But OF Dir got most
of the plaudits from the 29,775
fans - 10000 more than the
White Sox drew in their GOu-
bleheadcr with Detroit on the
southside.
Il didn't know I was still so
we'll liked" he said in a sur
priSingly modest way. Il haven't
got much left in my arm, but il
sure felt swell pitching that in
ming of ball"

The crowd was somewhat dis
appointed when Bob Teller, for

Tigers Move
10 81. Louis
Hope TO Continue
Style OF Chicago

ST. LOUIS, May 25 -P)--
The Detroit Tigers moved in
here today anxious to knock off
the st. Louis Browns in a $50
p. m. game, but at the same
time lonesome for c h ago,
where they stayed long enough
to regain third place and shake
off a severe hitting slump.
A sweep of a doubleheader
over the White SOX yesterday,
6 to 2 and IA to 0, advanced
the Tigers a notch while the
Boston Red SoX were splitting
with Philadelphia. Perhaps just
as important was the nourish-
ment for some thinning batting
averages.
In pounding out Tommy
Bridges fifth victory in six
starts in the opener and giving
Hal White plenty of room to
work in for his third shutout in
the nightcap, the Tigers har-
vested 25 hits. They cleaned the
base well, too, leaving only six
men stranded in each contest.
Manager Del Baker planned
to fire Hal NeWhouSer at the
Browns as the Tigers hoped the
road showing would continue
good to offset the recent re-
verses at home. The double
header sweep won the Sox Sc
ricS for Detroit.
