President Roosevelt, tanned and
rested after a Canadian fishing
vacation, was busy appraising the
latest reports on the tide Of events
In Europe today, especially those in
side Italy andl Germany.
He was not isolated or out OF
touch with major developments
but he now could go over in detail
while on the shores OF Lake Huron
the dispatches which he probably
only perused for highlights.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was away,
there was talk here and in London
of the possibility Of another con-
ference between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winscon S. Church

that the president did not confer

parked on an important eff
fort to achieve closer cooper
alton with Russia with a view
Of taking full advantage OF
an opportunity to bring the
war to an end much sooner
than was regarded possible
even a month ago.
The medium has not been re-
vealed but there is a tendency in
London to discount recent sugges-
lions that conference among Pres
ident Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain Is to
be expected in the near future. But
it is thought possible that leaders
might engage in parallel discus
sionS.
It has been suggested that some
leader such as British Foreign Sec
rotary Anthony Eden might confer
with Foreign Commissar v. M. Mol
otov simultaneously with discus
sions which Axis and neutral sources
have suggested may be held between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill.

London, Aug. 10.-(UP)-A large
force of four-engined bombers struck
heavily last night at the German in
dustrial center of Mannheim-Lud-
wigshafen, shattering key war fac
tories and other detectives with up
wards of 1000 tons of explosives in
what may have been the first of an
other Hamburg" series of raids.
The Royal Air Force shifted its
offensive back to the Rhineland to
end Germany's one-Week respite
from Allied block busters and left
huge, spreading conflagrations rae
ing through chemical, tank and 9TH
er war palms in the twin cities
spanning the Rhine.
Farther north along the Rhine,
twin-engined Mosquito bombers
hammered targets in the other great
German industrial area, the Ruhr.
Only nine bombers were lost in
the two raids, which Allied observ-
ers regarded as surprisingly few in
the light of frenzied German prep
arations to meet the growing aerial
offensive from the west.
Raids Timely
The raids came at time when
European dispatches were reporting
a civilian exodus approaching pan
icky flight from Germany's princi-
pal industrial cities, including Ber-
lin.
The concentration of vital targets
in Mannheim-Lu dwigshafen, whose
inland port handles a volume OF
traffic second only to Hamburg, and
the fact that last nights raid fol-
lowed so closely on the string of nine
attacks on Hamburg, raised the pos
sibility that it may be marked for

- Italo-German conferences
at Verona have ended with
Italy giving assurances she
will fight on, at least until
the Allies offer more lenient
peace terms, an Italian from
tier dispatch said today.
European advices, meantime,
asserted Germany has sent
80 additional divisions -
nearly 100000 men - into
Italy and four Panzer divisions to
Greece in anticipation of Allied in
vasions when the conquest OF Sicily
has been completed.
Though reports that Adolf Hit
Ter has been deposed appeared with
out foundation, the London Daily
Telegraph said in dispatch dated
Somewhere in Europe" that all
parts of Germany expected a mill
tary dictatorship to be established
"within one or at leastt wo months"
The latest in a series of uncon-
firmed rumors to reach Madrid was
that Hitler already is being held
a virtual prisoner under military
escort at Berchtesgaden, his Bavar-
ian mountaintop home, but this
rumor was considered suspect, too.

Guariglia and Ambrosio were re-

be considered conclusive if new
developments more favorable to

the committee is an integral part OF

causes for production failures and
added:
You are not on trial. We are
not trying to convict you of any,
