Nazis Prepare to
Defend France

STOCKHOLM, Aug II CUP) -
The Svenska DagbladetS' Bern cor
respondent reported today that the
Germans were taking measures to
meet an expected Allied invasion
of the French Atlantic coast.
The Germans fear apparently
were based on reports from recon-
naissance planes of troop move
ments in Britain. This conceded
with a disclosure in London that
authorities were preparing to re-
new the ban on visitors to certain
coastal areas of England, an action
which aroused speculation that the
Allies were preparing for military
movement in the west.

Harry Morgan, cafe worker said
in Long Beach, Calf he had been
married on Oct. 7, 1941, to Mrs.
Wright, now the wife of Sgt Jesse
Wright of Camp Adair, Ore,, and
that she had fallen from the porch
week later.
This account conflicted with a
statement Mrs. Wright made to
District Attorney Harlow Weinrick,
in which she claimed to have suf-
fered shrapnel wounds during the
Japanese sneak attack, wounds
Weinrick indicated might have been
taken into consideration in prosecu-
,tion of the case.
ADMITS KIDNAPPING
Weinrick has said Mrs. Wright
admitted taking Judith Gurney
from the Albany hospital in the
early hours of Aug. 2 because of
her desire to have a child, height
ened by the fact two of her own
were stillborlf
The infant was restored to the
B. w. Gurney family after Mrs.
Wright had kept it week, making
her soldier husband believe she had
given birth to it while he was at
Camp Adair.
Morgan, in his statement at Long
Beach, also threw doubt on the
legality of the 26-year-old wom-
ans marriage to Sgt. Wright when
he said he never had been officially
notified of an annulment Mrs.
Wright claimed followed their mar
riage by three days.
Sgt. Wright, however, declared
he was convinced he was married
legally, saying she showed him
court papers purporting to estab-
liSh the annulment.
But, legal or not, I'm going to
stick by her. he said
Weinrick, ,1eanwnlie was await

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The British

to the progress OF the war in the

In the past the newspapers here
have treated the fighting in the Pa

war panorama. That fact has in
evitably irked Americans. but it was
also inevitable that London should
handle the news thu" way.
In the first pla le big show
thus far-and this been Allied
strategy-has been Europe.
Secondly you cannot blame the
British papers for operating on the
sound journalistic theory on which
Harry H. Tammen and Frederick
G. Bonfils made the Denver P,st
famous-namely that dogfight on
Main street is more arresting news
for home consumption than some
thing far more sensational a thou

But the recent emp sis that Lon

from the Pacific Is strikingly no.

The landing of the American
