VICHY, Unoccupied France, July

ported that reinforced patrols
cruised the streets of the capital of
Nazi-occupied Belgium today and
all monuments were guarded on this
Belgian independence day which the

The order imposing the various re-
strictions, published well in advance

rife explosions that could be heard
for miles.
This was by far the heaviest
pounding given Matruh from the
sea. Strangely, there were no large
fires started in this shelling-just a
series of blasts followed by a huge
column of smoke which climbed like
a snake high into the sky.
Navy officers said they were con-
vinced that a small fuel ship which
failed to get out of the harbor had
been sunk either in the previous air
bombing or in this bombardment
since the vessel, although most of
her superstructure was above the
surface, appeared to be resting on
the bottom of the harbor.
Shore Batteries Silent.
Salvo after salvo from the war
ships seemed to pepper the entire
harbor and adjoining area as if the
shells were laid down in we'll
defined pattern.
Shore batteries apparently did not
attempt to return the fire.
One airman said shell splashes
straddling ships directly in the heart
of Matruh harbor were so numerous
that "the whole stretch VI water
looked like myriad geysers."
This third bombardment Of Mat
rub within a week produced fresh
evidence that the enemy intends 10

TRUH, July 20 (Delayed).-Guns
of British warships poured salvo
after salvo of high-explosive
shells into battered Matruh early
today Monday, delivering the
severest plastering of the war to
this Axis-occupied port on the
fringe of the Egyptian desert.
The navy, determined to keep the
harbor in "a hell of mess" despite
franctic efforts of the NaZis and
Italians to rebuild jetties and install
lations, so bady needed war supplies
might be unloaded from supply
ships, did some of its best shooting
of the war, landing every salvo di-
rectly within the target area.
From an advanced base for naval
aircraft I watched navy planes zoom

and hover over Matruh.

One Of 8 Saboteurs
Takes Stand in Plea
To Save His Life
Others Due to Follow;
Most Of Morning Spent
On Defense Motions
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

One of the eight Nazi saboteurS
on trial for his life before mill
tary commission today took the
witness stand In his own defense,
it was revealed in a communique
issued by the commission when
it recessed for lunch.
The name. of the enemy agent
was not disclosed.
The seven other Germans, 1t is
understood, will follow him on the
witness stand and make final plea
to escape either the gallows or a
firing squad.
Text of the official communique,
issued at 12:45 pm, said:
THE Commission reconvened at
10 am.
Most of this mornings session
was spent in argument upon mo-
tions by the defense.
Thereafter the defense started
the presentation of its case by one
OF the defendants taking the stand.
THE commission recessed at 12:3O
pm. to reconvene at 1870 pm"
Dasch Believed on Stand.
Although the communique, which
was labeled. bulletin" did not re-
veal the name of the German agent
who took the witness stand, spec
ulation was rife that he was George
John Dasch, leader of the group OF
four men who landed from SUBJ
marine on the Long Island coast
last month.
1t is known that he is making a
desperate fight for his life and is
reported to have given the Govern
ment much valuable military infor-
nation. The commission last week
spent several days listening to q
statement he is alleged to have
given FBI agents after he was
tracked down and arrested.
While the morning session of the
trial was in progress, two women
were escorted into the heavily-bar-
ricaded trial room in the Justice
Department building, but the COM
munique did not indicate whether
they had been placed on the witness
stand One of them was Mrs. Gerda

The newest contingent of WAACs
