ure because the attackers were be-
ing shot down at ratio OF seven

NEW YORK, April 13.-Mayor
F. H. La Guardia contends that
you can't be good fellow in Wash

The Mayor resigned as head of
the o. c. D., and his remark was
directed sin all friendliness" to my
distinguished successor" James M.
Lands.
Laxity Charged to Lands.
Mr.. La Guardia, in his regular
Sunday radio talk to the people, I"
said Mr.. Lands had been lax in
providing municipalities with de-
fense supplies and equipment.
None of it has been received"
said the Mayor. Now there is no
reason for that. I speak freely
about it. The appropriations were
obtained before 1 resigned on Feb
ruary 10. Specifications were COM
pleted.
Fighting Called Necessary.
Il want to say to my distinguished
successor. and I say this in all
friendliness: You can't be- a good
fellow in Washington and q good
director of civilian defense at the
same time. You've got to fight
these things through and I can also
say that the Congress expects the
cities to get this equipment. In
fact. I think they will be very much
surprised when they hear that none
Of it has been received

SeIeciee and Attorney
Must Stand Trial on
Conspiracy Charges
Case Held Serious
By Appeals Court
In Reversing Opinion

The United States Court OF
Appeals today, in the first case
of its kind here, decided that an
attorney and his selectee client
must 60 to trial on charges of
conspiracy to violate the draft
law.
The appellate tribunal reversed
District Court, which had held In
valid the indictment charging At
torney Dorsey K. Offutt and his
client, Robert Jordan Sopourn,
with conspiracy to violate the
Selective Training and Service Act
Of 1910, In conjunction with Sop
urn's projected induction into the
Army.
The court today held worthless
the defense plea that the indict-
ment was without legal merit and
sustained the contention of United
States Attorney Edward N. Curran
and Assistant United States At
torney John L. Laskey that the
two men should 60 to trial.
THE charge is most serious" said
the court today in an opinion writ
ten by Associate Justice Fred M.
Vinson, who heard the case with
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
and Associate Justice Justin Miller.
Indicted Last June.
Mr.. Offutt and Mr.. Sopourn were
indicted last June on charges of
conspiracy.
Mr.. Offutt was accused of filing
with Col. Davis G. Arnold, chair
man Of Local Board No. 8, two
afiidavits and a letter-the con-
tents Of which were not disclosed
leaving these at Col. Arnold's s
apartment. The indictment recited
that Mr.. Sopourn was classified as
IA under the draft and notified
Of his induction In order to report
for Army service last April 10, but
this he failed to do, according to
Assistant United States Attorney
Laskey.
At the time of indictment, defense
counsel told newspaper men that
Mr.. Sopourn requested deferment
from induction into service. mas
much as he was about to become q
father. and they added that an un-
named member Of a Legal Advisory
Board. administering the draft law.
had aided Mr.. Offutt in preparing
the papers.

fighting to preserve. namely. "the
American way of life"
Senator OMahoney joined in the
same view, declaring that "here in
Washington we have been slower
than the people throughout the
country" to realize this is an all-out
war. In support of this belief he
declared that -four months after
Pearl Harbor we have failed to take
steps to draft any resources except
manpower."
The Presidents letter said In part: !:
"The problem you are studying IS
vital. Patents are the keys to our
technology; technology is the key
to production; production Is the key
to victory. I trust that your COM
mittee will study the problem and
help the Government to formulate
wise patent policy to guide US to-
ward that victory for democracy
which we all so devoutly wish. -
''It Is fitting that you should open
these hearings on April 18th, the
birthday Of Thomas Jefferson who
was out first superintendent Of
patents. No surer guidance for
your actions could be found than
Q constant consciousness Of the
spirit and intent Of that great de-
signer Of American democracy"

Hopkins in ParIey
With Soviet Envoy
AT London Embassy
RooseveIt's Adviser Will
Confer With Churchill on
Results Of Moisky Talk
~ The Associatsd Press.


LONDON, April 13.-Harry
Hopkins, adviser Of President
Roosevelt and his lease-lend ex-
pert, held a long conference to-
day with the Russian Ambassa-
dor, Ivan Maisky, at the United
States Embassy.
Mr.. Hopkins will confer tonight
with Prime Minister Churchill and
probably present the results Of the
interview with Maisky.
Gen. George c. Marshall, United
States Army Chief Of Stan, was at
the embassy frequently during the
day, but did not participate in the
talks with the Russian diplomat.
Informed quarters here have said
the prime objective OF Mr.. Hopkins
and Gen. Marshall is to use every
means within the power Of the
United States and Britain to assist
Russia in the crucial battles expect
ed this spring and summer.
Russia Is long on man power but
short on equipment, and the pres
ence Of Mr. Hopkins was called a
signal for an even greater flow of
planes, tanks, munitions and other
materiel to the Soviet by way OF
Murmansk and the Gulf OF Persia.
The growing United States mill
tary establishments in Northern
Ireland which Gen, Marshall has
been inspecting, and the steadily
mounting flow of warplanes was
held an indication that United
States pilots would join the r. A. r.
within month in bombing Ger
many.
Gen. Marshall and Mr.. Hopkins
were said to be in complete agree
ment with the British that the
Russian front was the critical bat
tlefield and that Hitler was the No.
! enemy.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Zurich early today quoted Vir,-
ginio Gayda. Mussolinis editorial
mouthpiece, as saying the United
States is demanding that England
commence an offensive against
Italy"
This is the reason Roosevelt sent
Gen. George Marshall and Harry
Hopkins to London" the news
agency said Gayda wrote In the
Rome newspaper La voce dItalia.

garding their future work and ex-
pressed to them the wish that their
task would be successful.
Sofia dispatches did not indicate
whether this future work" included
Bulgaria's active participation at

effect In European capitals, and

in possible action against Turkey,

of the nation" stern measures
against threats of Communists with

R.-The German air force acceler-
ated its activity today in support Of
Z light counterattacks with infantry
and tanks as the Germans sought
. 20 feel out the depth Of the Soviet
front.
Warm and slushy weather-proh-
ably the warmest of the year-pre-
vailed in the fighting areas.
A dispatch from the front said
German aviation still was strong,
but asserted the Soviet flyers were
overtaking the slower Nazi planes
at any height and beating them
with machine guns, cannon and
ranlming. -
Three German counterattacks
were reported on the Bryansk front
south of Moscow, but Soviet reports
said they definitely were not a
major operation.
Exchange Telegraph reported
from Stockholm that the Russian
radio said the Red Army had
crossed the Desna River near
Bryansk, virtually completing
enlightenment of that city. Bry-
ansk Is 200 miles southwest Of
Moscow.
(Moscow broadcasts were quot
ed in Stockholm newspapers as
saying that Russian cavalry had
cut German communications
lines In several places on the Len
ingrad front and that the Rus
slams had captured an important
position, killing 1000 Germans)
Enemy Positions Flooded.
Russian sappers, extracting all
possible aid from nature, were re-
ported to have changed the course
of f1oodwaters and washed the Ger
mans out of a fortified village in
one Of a series OF triumps recorded
by Soviet Russia during the week
end.
Dispatches from the n-drenched
front said the engineers defied
German guns and dug trenches
through which the flood surged on
cIlclIly pOcatlOitc.
Just as the waters swept over the
Germans in this village, so is a
wave of confidence. in ultimate tri-
umph sweeping over the Soviet
Union.
Russian units fighting in the rain
torrents were said to have recap
tured a town occupied briefly by the
Germans in the Bryansk sector and
to have liberated two settlements on
the Kalinin front.
The Leningrad radio reported
that q strategic point called IN"
was recaptured with the annihilia-
ton of 300 Germans and the de-
struction Of every mortar defending
that point.
Nazi Losses Heavy.
Oficial reports added that more
than 1000 Germans were killed in
another sector of the Leningrad
front and that the Germans lost
heavily in hand-to-hand fighting
on the central area.
In fighting with the Firms on the
Leningrad front, a Russian COM
munique reported. one unit de-
stroyed 10 Finnish blockhouses and
shelters, silenced 13 enemy artillery
pieces and 5 trench-mortar bat
teries. It said the Films lost $50
men and officers killed and wounded.
On the Kalinin front, the COM
munique added, a tank unit de-
stroyed two German blockhouses,
