er accused of tire sales in violation

Senator'S Interpret
Pledges TO Soviet as
Plan
Greater Cooperation Of
U. S. and British Novies
Also Forecast

By the Associated Press.
The promise by President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill
Of coming operations to divert Ger
man strength from the attack on
Russia was widely interpreted in
Congress over the week end as
meaning a second land front would
be established soon.
Chairman George Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, who
took this viewpoint, predicted the
next six months would be the most
critical period of the war.
If Germany can be thwarted OF
her objectives in that period of time
she will lose the chance Of winning"
he told reporters.
That does not mean," he said,
that the war may not continue for
long. long time. But. from the
standpoint of the United Nations,
the most crucial period is beginning
now"
Bridges Agrees With George.
Senator Bridges, Republican, Of
New Hampshire agreed with Sena-
tor Georges estimate that the
establishment of second land front
was imminent but Senator Ball, Re-
publican. of Minnesota said he felt
that United Nations operations must
largely be confined to holding ac-
tions for the next six months. After
that time, he predicted. men and
materials would be distributed to
the fighting fronts in SUFFICIENT num-
bers to turn the tide to the Often
Sive.
Calling the Roosevelt Churchill
summation of their conference en-
couraging, Senator Ball commented:
THE American people ought not
. to forget. however, that we have
our toughest period OF the war
ahead of us right now"
Some Senators said they in
terpreted the statement issued by
the American and British war lead
ers as indicating that there might
be greater naval cooperation in
combating the Avis submarine cam
paign and possibly pooling of mer-
chant Shipping resources.
The President and Mr. Churhcill
said it was hoped that as a result
of steps planned at their conference,
the navies of the two countries
would be able to reduce the toll
of cargo vessels.
Chairman Connauy of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
it was his view that moves had
been made toward closer co-opera-
tion and united action by the two
fleets.
Noting that the President and
Mr.. Churchill had said that pro-
duction Of shipping was increasing
greatly each month, Senator E.

Agitation Mounting
To Strip Churchill
OF Defense Office
London Newspapers Give
Support to Shift in
Strategy Control
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 29.-Agitation for
Prime Minister Churchill'S replace
ment as minister of defense mount
ed today with the Axis asserting
that Field Marshal Rommel's forces
had seized Matruh and swept on to
the coast.
Some of London'S most influential
newspapers gave support to the ad-
vocates of removal of war strategy
from the hands of the Prime Min
lister, who, just back from his Amer
lean conferences, will face a mo
confidence" motion in an imminent
parliamentary debate.
Mr.. Churchills stated conviction
that Egypt will be held" is likely
to become a political issue. The
governments optimism at the start
of the current African campaign,
which events have shown to be un-
justified, is one of the chief targets
of the opposition.
Overthrow Unlikely.
Nevertheless political writer's gen.
orally agreed that there was vir-
tually no prospect that Mr.. Churchill
would be overthrown as Prime Min
lister.
TemperS inflamed by the first
shock of the sudden Libyan set
back had cooled before the news of
Matruh's fall was received and the
general attitude apparently was to
get at the root of Britain's failures
and diSpaSsionately apply the cures.
The tactical, backstage political
situation also was regarded by OBJ
servers as turning in the Prime
Minister'S favor.
His critics lost the first round of
the confidence battle when MIR
Churchill clinched the right to have
the last word before voting on Sir
John WardlaW-Milne's censure mo-
ton on the ground that that priv
llege always belonged to the gov
ernment in such circumstances.
Defense Ministry Is Issue.
Mr.. Churchill's sudden return from
the United States to defend his con-
duct of the war was regarded by
these sources as having taken some
of the steam out of his critics at
tacks and they said his hand also
was strengthened by his joint state
ment with President Roosevelt pre-
dieting operations to take the
pressure off Russia.
AS the week end passed with the
opposition gaining no known re-
cruits, the paramount test apparently
was over whether Mr. Churchill
should yield his Defense Ministry
portfolio.
This division of functions at the
top said the Sunday Times, lis
central to the whole problem Of war
direction. The position of Min
lister of Defense is now full
time job"
Lord Winster, former parlia-
mentary secretary to the First Lord
of the Admiralty, said the separate
Defense Ministry should be abol-
ished altogether.

Began Saturday Afternoon.
The desert struggle has been in
progress without a break since Sat-
urday afternoon. when an Axis ar
mored force from the west struck
at positions southwest of Matruh.
Marshal Rommel loosed the full
fury of his forces against the British
at S pm. Saturday-his favorite
hour for launching attacks to the
east.
The battle then developed into
fast-moving fights between tanks
and mobile artillery, the latter being
shifted from position to position the
better to strike at opposing tanks.
Mobile infantry has been used
mainly to occupy points after round
ing up prisoners.
A full moon permitted the fight to
continue through Saturday night
and last night with scarcely any
waning in intensity. The great
Egyptian moon, shining on the
glistening sands, makes it bright
enough to read newspaper, but
produces curious shadow effects
which pose problems for gunners
and tank crews.
Battle Southeast Of Matruh.
Todays dawn found the battle
for Egypt moving deeper toward the
valley of the Nile with one big battle
swirling into the desert southeast of
| Matruh, British headquarters in
, Cairo announced.
Engagements are being fought
many miles from where the Axis
first struck and positions of the op-
posing forces are changing hands
hourly, often veering from the sea-
coast to we'll inland.
One of the major clashes was by
moonlight Saturday night, the re-
freShing GOODNESS of the desert night
reviving the exhausted combatants.

Matruh, which the Axis says has
fallen to the army of Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel, is an ancient town,
with romantic history going back
1000 years and more. 1t was to Mat
rub, on the shores of the blue Medi-
terranean, that Cleopatra brought
Marc Antony.
The town is connected with Alex
andria by a railroad built by Khedive
Abbas Hilmi Pasha, ruler of Egypt
from 1892 to 1914. He also built
the motor highway which parallels
the railway and extends westward
to Salum, on the Libyan frontier.
Matruh had had another famous
visitor, Alexander the Great, who
stopped there on his way to consult
an oracle, presumably to find out
whether he was destined to master
the then known world.
In that day Matruh was called

Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil was held
responsible for alleged "barbarous
actions against Germans" in Brazil
in a formal statement issued last
night by the German government
which threatened "counter-meas-

The statement spoke Of "riotous
behavior against Germans and their

the Brazilian government doesn't
take steps without delay to end
these grievances the Reich govern

1t said Brazils anti-Axis stand,
