TRO|NA FALLS THREATENING NAZI RETREAT
Nozis Report
Stain May Join
In Allied Talks
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. THE Ger
man radio speculated today that
new meeting of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, in which Premier
Stain might possibly join," was
imminent.
The broadcast, apparently trial
balloon, was recorded by the As
sociated Press. Presumably the pur-
pose of any such meeting would be
to adopt further plans in view OF
Mussolini's custer and the ap-
approaching climax in Sicily.
London newspapers yesterday fea-
tured reports from Washington that
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
might confer again soon in sixth
wartime meeting.
All these reports, however, were
without authoritative confirmation
or denial. Censorship prevents men,
ton of the movements of any Of the
Allied war leaders.

MOSCOW, Aug. 7.-Informa-
ton received from Russian guer-
rillas behind the German lines
today said the Nazis were carry
ing out a general civilian evac-
uation of the Smolensk region.
Smolensk, go miles west of Mos
COW and probably the most impor-
tant German base in all Russia,
would be endangered by complete
deflation of the Orel salient to the
southeast as the Russians already
hold positions less than so miles to
the northeast between Yartsevo and
Vyazma.
Kharkov Threatened.
The information from the par
tisans said the Germans we're NOV
ing the population to the west and
also taking away all metal and
other potential war materials, even
the tin roofs Of houses.
Two Russian Army groups, which
outf1anked Kharkov from the north
IN a swift drive through Belgorod,
were threatening the rear of Ger
man positions around that third
largest city in the Soviet Union,
front-line dispatches said.
Descending the valley by way OF
the Uby River, the Russians raced
through Zolochev, little more than
20 miles northwest of Kharkov in a
flank attack similar to the action
farther north which drove the Ger
mans from Orel and opened the way
for a simultaneous push toward
Bryansk.
Both Kharkov and Bryansk, 275
miles to the northwest, were threat
ened by the broad advance.
Railroad Line Already Cut.
Russian troops battering their
way westward beyond Belgorod al
ready have advanced 81 miles to cut
the Kharkov- -Bryansk railroad at
zolochev, the Russians reported.
CThe German radio said in
broadcast recorded in London
that another Russian column was
poised at Chuguyev, "a miles
southwest of Kharkov, which gave
rise to the belief that the Russian
high command was preparing an
other pincers operation similar to

No action to revoke the licenses
of local restaurant owners found
guilty of fragrant health viola

officials during the past year, a
checkup of records revealed to-
day.
Records disclosed that not single
restaurants operating license has
been revoked during the past year
although there have been more than
800 convictions on health violation
charges during that period and
many restaurants have paid fines or
forfeited collateral a number of
times.
In addition, until this week. when
one case was referred to the License
Revocation Board, no case has been
referred to the board for hearing.
According to District regulations,
the Health Department can ask the
Commissioners to submit to the
four-man board cases of fragrant

then holds a hearing and, if the
facts in the case warrant it, can

Nazi Leaders
Hold Pdr|eys
AsCriisis Rises
Berlin Is Reported
Near Punic From
Fear of Raids
1y the Associated Press.


LONDON, Aug. THE Ger
man international Information
Bureau, a propaganda agency,
said in a broadcast today that
it was understood in Berlin that
a number of important discus
sions of a military and political
nature have taken place in the
Fuehrer's headquarters the last
few days"
This indication from German
sources OF rising crisis came as
reports filtered to London telling
of fears in Berlin approaching a
state of panic" over the possi-
hility of massed air raids on the
German capital, serious strikes and
German peace demonstrations.
The broadcast, also made by DNB,
official news agency, said German
newspapers had published photo
graphs of such top Nazis as Reichs-
marshal Hermann Georing, Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler,
Propaganda Chief Paul Joseph
Goebbels and MARITIME Bormann,
chief of the NaA party chancellery,
at the scene of the discussions.
Jap Envoy Received.
Also present, it was said, were
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief
of the high command; Admiral Karl
Doenitz commander in chief of the
navy; Air Force Field Marshal
Erhard Mich, chief inspector of air
forces; Col. Gen. Hans Jesschonnek,
chief of the general staff of the air
forces; Gen. Kurt zeitzler, chief of
the general staff of army infantry.
and Artillery Gen. Alfred Jodl.
1t was announced that the Japa-
nese Ambassador, Hiroshi Oshima,
had been received by Adolf Hitler
st his headquarters in the presence
of Won Ribbentrop and Keitel on
July 20.
Although he was last listed as
lieutenant general, the broadcast
said the latest newsreels showed
Oshima wearing the uniform OF
full general.
This curiously circumstantial ac-
count of the imminence of major de-
cisicns involving Hitler and presum-
ably the whole course of the war
was issued to the world on day
that saw speculation on the posi-
bility of military coup in Ger
many
Rumors Of Hitler Custer.
Included in this speculation were
rumors that Hitler might be driven
out, both as head of the Reich gov
ernment and as supreme military
commander, perhaps to be replaced
by some military veteran.
TN Bern the Neue Zuercher
Nachrichten reported that
traveller who had just returned
from Germany said that among
rumors sweeping the Reich was
the most persistent" one that a
military dictatorship might be
set up in September.
