PROTEST ARMY
Commission FOR
|A.F.uNION- BUSTER

NEW YORK.-s(FP) - A vigorous
protest against the granting of an
army commission to Harper Knowles,
reactionary legionnaire and Associated
Farmer, was made August II by the
Citizens Victory Committee for Harry
Bridges in a telegram to the army
adjutant generals office.
Knowles was assigned to the serv-
ice and supply division of the quarter
master corps at Fort Mason, San
Francisco.
Harper Knowles record as union
hater," the wire said, was so clearly
shown by his testimony at the Harry
Bridges hearing in 1889, that Dean
James Lands, in his findings and
conclusions as trial examiner, wrote:
He (Knowles) is neither candid nor
a fortnight witness. 1t was i'm
possible to listen to Knowles two ac-
counts without being convinced that
on accession he lied when he dared
to-"
At the 1889 hearing, Knowles only
explanation of letters from his own
files, introduced by defense lawyers
in support of their contention that the
case against Bridges was a frameup
by coast employers, was that the let
tiers must have been stolen.
The exhibits revealed Knowles
close tieup with Stanley NJ larry
Doyle, employers agent, and also
showed Doyle's connection with Off
GERS of the U. S. immigration service
Knowles admitted he had received
information about Bridges" from
American Legion members in mari
time unions and that he had tried to
get Secretary of Labor Francis Per-
kins impeached because of "her apa-
thetic handling of the Bridges case"

Police Seek Negro
For Attacking Z
Year Old E.C.Gir

Ell Centro police searched
Wednesday for a Negro man
in uniform who attempted to
attack a 12-yelr old girl early
that morning.
The girl. daughter of a cafe oper-
ator on Ell Centro's eastside, told
police that she and her brother
were sleeping in the rear room of
her fathers business place when
the attempted attack occurred.
A Negro dressed in a soldiers uni
form jimmied open the window in
the rear of the room, she said. Both
she and her brother fought him off
with their teeth and fists.
When the girl cried out, the SOL
dier left by way of the open WIN
dow, but not before she had bitten
him on the ear hard enough to draw
blood.
Officers dispatched to the scene
at 12:45 am. traced the footsteps
of the man through the alley but
were unable to apprehend him.

MOSCOW reported Jne TelieI Col-
umn had driven the Germans from
an occupied locality and inflicted
heavy casualties. At Stalingrad the
Red army lines held firm against
assaults described as equal in feroc-
ity to any yet launched by the Ger
mans.
Nazi propaganda on the battle
took strange turn. The Nazi high
command omitted the Stalingrad
battle from its communique and
Nazi radio broadcasts dismissed it
with briefest mention, possibly as
part of a move to shift German
attention away from the 44-day
struggle.
One Nazi propaganda broadcast
quoted German military spokes-
man as saying that the operative
aims of the German high COM
mand had already been achieved by
the cutting of Russian traffic on
the Volga river.
There was no indication whether
the Nazis we're about to attempt
to shift the attention of the Ger
man populace to other battle areas
because of the long delay in reach
ing the objective proclaimed by
Adolf Hitler-the capture of Stalin-
grad.
However, it seemed obvious that
the Nazi high command had not
suddenly dropped all mention of
the most important and bloody bat
tie of the year on the eastern front
by chance or accident.
The onlT German reference to
fighting anywhere in the. Stalingrad
area concerned the battle north
west of the city where Marshal
Semyon Timoshenkos relief column
has been pounding ahead steadily
along the Don and between the Don
and Volga rivers.
There, the Germans claimed that
they were tightening ring around
Soviet forces. There was no explain
alton how the Germans had been
able to encircle the Russian relief
column nor was there any indica-
ton in Moscow reports that the
Nazi assertion bore any relation to
the actual situation.
From Moscow, reports of a far
different picture of the battle was
given.
The Russians said that Germans
we're attacking with unabated fury
in the critical northwestG n section
of Stalingrad but that Soviet forces
had held their lines firmly under
the greatest pressure. The Rus
slams were said to have knocked out
46 of column of 100 enemy tanks
and to have inflicted heavy casual
ties on an attacking force of about
$4,000 men.

feasible, emphasized that in all pub
lie statements he spoke only for
himself.
I'm Wendell Willkie and I say

correspondents.
This remark was believed to have
been prompted by President Roose-
velt's refusal yesterday to comment
on WILKES Moscow second front
statement of which Willkie was in
formed just before the conference
began.
Il am here as an individual whom
for some reason $4,000, 900 Americans
voted for" Willkie added.
Simultaneous with winning the
war, the United Nations must make
concrete plans to put the principles
of the Atlantic Charter into prac-
tice throughout the world when
peace is restored, Willkie said.
ALLIES HOLD SACK
He also urged that the United
States deliver more arms to Russia
and China.
I'm the United States we have
talked a lot to the world about our
production figures" he said. But
some of our Allies have seen very
little of our actual arms.
1T is only natural for them to
wonder where our boasted produc-
ton has gone. 1t is only patural

much longer they will have to eat,
