Doubt Enemy
Riot Influence
Housing Cited
Among Couses

WASHINGTON, July 8-(P)
In the belief of two govern
ment authorities, D e t r o is
bloody race riots we're not in
spired by enemy agents.
That is represented as the
opinion of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and Monsignor
Francis J. Haas, chairman of the
government fair employment
practises committee, takes the
same stand.
Although the FBI has no in
tention of making any general
public statement to that effect, it
takes the view that there has
been no direct connection be-
tween enemy agents and the
riots, according to d. c. Speak
er, mythical capital observer
who represents authentic but
unquotable sources.
Father Haas, who returned to
Washington yesterday from a
trip to Detroit, said he had found
no evidence that the Klu Klux
Khan or the Axis powers had in
spired the outbreak in which "a
persons were killed and several
hundred injured. He expressed
the opinion that inadequate
housing, recreation and public
transportation" were responsible
for the Detroit violence.
Speaker said that because
such riots obviously made good
Axis propaganda. the FBI nat
urally watched for any sign of
enemy activity - but Il found
little or none"
On the contrary, he said, in
some instances the Omen
learned that varied forces which
were at least partly TO blame for
start of the riots had deliber-
ately fostered the idea of en-
envy activity--to take the fin
ger of suspicion off themselves.

Battle Units

LONDON. July b up The
Berlin radio reported today that
battle units of the Allied Medi-
terranean fleet, reinforced by
recently arrived American cruz
sers and aircraft carriers. had
left Gibraltar, leading to the
supposition that the American
Allied Commander is preparing
for an attack against Europe"
The broadcast, which was re-
corded by the Associated Press,
declared that the Allies, in addi-
ton 10 strong concentrations OF
warships and transports, have ~
Infantry Divisions and Is TO 90
tank formations poised between
Morocco and Syria.
These forces were said to in
clude parachute battslions and
airborne troops whose task, the
broadcast declared, would be
10 create at first one or more
bridgeheads."
AT first sight" the German
radio said, "these figures would
appear considerable, but at least
half of the Allied forces are re-
gionally and locally tied down, >
in Algeria, Syria, Palestine,
Egypt, Cyprus and elsewhere.
Other forces also are held
down by a complicated supply
system, while lit is an open &C.
cret that General Eisenhower's
American divisions have still to
be thoroughly overhauled as re-
CARDS training" the Broadcast
said.
The available effective forces,
therefore, it added, constitute
only fraction of the total Allied
troops stationed in the Mediter-
ranean.

Gaizke Inquiry
Deny Whitewosh'
in Hospital Deoth

Assistant Attorney General
Harry w. Jackson, of Michigan,
said today he is still pressing
his investigation into the death
of William Gatzke, 45-yesr-old
Roseville truck driver, whose
wife. Jennie, charges was beat
en- to death last June 5 in the
Pontiac State hospital.
He declared that Mrs. Gatzke's
fears that the investigation will
result in a whitewash are with
out foundation. I'VE may not
have enough proof to get into
court, but there won't be any
whitewash, you can bank on
that"
Mrs. Gatzke was quoted in the
June "a issue of The South Ma
comb News as saying: If l don {
get support from the papers, it
will be whitewashed just like
the other complaints Lansing had
from other patients at this same
hospital"
Jackson admitted that circu-
lar shaped marks on Gatzke's
body could have been made by
the heel of mans shoe. Mrs.
Gatzke claims 36 such marks

body and quoted Roseville po-
lice and Coroner William Clyne
as reporting Gatzke had prob
ably been brutally kicked.
Jackson declined to reveal his
progress to date. asserting the
information must come from
Gov. Harry F. Kelly, who or
dered the investigation.
He insisted conviction would
be difficult TO obtain, because
attendants presumably would be
loath TO involve a fellow work.

New Landings
Forced Near
Munda Airport
But Six Miles
Separate U. S. Forces
from VitoI Bose
BY ROGER GREENE
Associated Press War Writer


American troops are storming
within six miles of the prize
japanese air base at Munda af-
ter two new landings on New
Georgia Island, it was announc-
ed today as the count in the
spectacular u. S. Naval victory
at nearby Kula Gulf rose to at
least nine and possibly IL enc
my warships sunk.
One American cruiser. the u.
S. S. Helena. was lost. Most Of
the 800 officers and crew on
board were saved.
A spokesman at Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey's headquarters
said no other American warship
even suffered damage in the
blazing pre-dawn battle on July
which saw u. S. Naval gunners
virtually annihilate the enemy
squadron in little more than 20
minutes.
At the other end of the TOO
mile Allied offensive arc. Gen.
Macarthur command announc-
ed that Australian troops had
captured Observation Hill In
their joint drive with American
forces against the japanese cita-
del at Salamaua. New Guinea.
The hill, less than IL miles
from Salamaua, was seized after
its Japanese defenders had been
killed or demoralized by 100
tons of bombs in less than As
minutes by u. S. warplanes.
Shedding new light on the
battle of Kula Gulf, where out
numbered u. S. naval forces
caught the Japanese trying to
escape northward under cover
of darkness and heavy weather,
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
declared:
SKATER SQUADRON q
In the first phase of the en-
gagement, four or five hostile
d st rogers were struck by
smashing broadsides that with
in five minutes destroyed or set
afire the entire group"
This was at 3 am.
Three or possibly four light
-tJapanese) cruisers were then
taken under fire. All were either
sunk or afire within Is min
utes."
Later, in the pitch darkness,
"our destroyers intercepted and
sank two of three enemy ships
attempting TO escape from the
gulf and damaged the third"
Thus, crisply, was told the
story Of another smashing set
back to Japana's vaunted naval
prowess--a battle forced on the
enemy by numerically inferior
American units in the most dan
gerous of all naval encounters,
an attack by night.

offensive which the Red Army,
fighting more brilliantly than
ever before. has limited to small
gains in the Belgorod sector.
Russian forces slew 10000

days of the battle, il was an

Nazi air force squadrons are

"a Berlin military spokesman
daclared in a radio broadcast
that tank battles yesterday in
the area of Belgorod and south
of Orel were the greatest ever
fought on the eastern front.")
Soviet dispatches said the
Germans were finding their OBJ
jectives packed with Red Army
men determined 10 fight TO the
death rather than give an inch.
The Red Air Force was declared
10 be on at least an equal foot
in gwith that of the Germans.
The Russians for the most part
are fighting tanks with station
airy artillery. but also are en-
pioying tanks against tanks, a
throwback TO earlier tactics. A
lass correspondent said Soviet
medium tanks made in Britain
had engaged group of 60-ton
Tigers approximately double
their size - and destroyed four.

cast by the Berlin radio said air
forces were used on both sides

before and that both Germans
and Russians ARE now employ

bers." The broadcast was record
ed by the Associated Press.

communique, also b TO d cast
from Berlin, declared army
