Reich Planning to Erect
Eastern Wall Before
Winter, IstonbuI Hears
Rv the Associated Press.

ISTANBUL, Aug. 10 Delayed -
The possibility that Germany may
already have attained most of her
1912 obiectives in Russia and that
she may be ready now to halt her
offensive on the Eastern front and
consolidate her positions for the
winter was indicated today by a
neutral official who, demanding
anonymity, claimed direct German
information.
Quoting as his informant Nazi
propaganda inspector" now visiting
Turkey on official business, this
neutral official said Germany plans
to erect an Eastern wall" before
the winter and retire behind it with
a peace proposal. The Nazi func-
tionary quoted operates under DR..
Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi party chief
of foreign propaganda and Reichs-
minister in charge OF Occupied
Russia.
The new German Eastern wall"
it was said, would run across the
Northern Caucasus Mountains,
which the Germans have just about
reached in their drive down the
Caucasus, and along the Volga River
from Astrakhan through the regions
Of Stalingrad and Voronezh and
thence roughly along the present
front to the Leningrad area.

Seeks Freedom on $500

| Edward James Smythe, one of 2a
defendants in a Government indict-
ment charging conspiracy to under
mine the morale Of the United
States armed forces, yesterday &C
cused Special Prosecutor William
Power Maloney of reneging on bail
agreement.
Smythe. who appeared before JUS
tice Jesse C. Adkins in District Court,
asked that his bond be reduced from
s2,500 to $500. Mr.. Maloney opposed
the reduction on the grounds that
Smythe had been fugitive and was
prime mover" in the Nazi propa-
ganda effort IN the United States
Smythe alleged that after his
arrest in New York City, Mr.. Ma
loney had offered him bond within
his means if ne would help Federal
agents in apprehending H. Victor
Broenstrupp, another of the % de-
PENDANTS who was at large at that
time.
Mr. Maloney admitted that such
an offer had been made to Smythe
and that Smythe was released in
New York for "a few days" for that
purpose, but the prosecutor denied
that he had taken part in the deal.
He said he objected to the release of
Smythe in New York and still con-
sidered the defendant important
enough to post high bond.
Smythe said he was warned he
would be "crucified' with high bond
in Washington.
The justice deferred action on the
plea to tomorrow.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 23.-America

ton policy. is laying the groundwork
for another great war 20 years or so
hence, a prominent sociologist said
today, and is depriving of life un-
counted members of an unborn gen.
Grafton.
DR.. Constantine Panunzio, asso-
ciate professor of sociology at the
University of California at Los
Angeles. declared that calling of
young married men into the armed
services will result in an alarming
decrease in Americas birth rate.
And even though we deal Japan
a knockout blow now" he added, lin
the next generation we may be
obliged to confront nation with a
manpower even greater than at
present.
Bigger Jap Gain Predicted.
BY 1870, he predicted, the prolific
japanese will have increased their
population by 100000, while the
United States may anticipate a gain
of only 100000
TO understand the full effect of
calling youthful married men to the
colors without regard for future
manpower we must realize that the
younger married people give birth
to large proportion of the chill
dren," DR.. Panunzio continued.
In World War I, France re-
cruited without regard to marital
status. And when 1910 came, with
its new and greater war, France
found itself actually with fewer men
between 20 and Is years than in
the earlier conflict Births between
1918 and 1919 were 100000 fewer

Apparently the United States is
going to face manpower situation
similar to Frances
| Another factor contributing to a
lower birth rate here, he asserted,
is the increasing employment of
women in war industries.

said, lis serious because the popu-
lation is fast becoming stationary

is barely enough for replacement.
The future strength of the Ma
