shall Gunther Won Kluge, comman-
der of the Normandy front.
Not Identified
Considered significant also was
the fact that the Nazis had not iden-
titled any of the generals involved
in the plot except Col. Gen. Ludwig
Beck, former chief of staff said to
have been liquidated along with
Col. Claus Won Stauffenberg, who
planted the bomb, which was in
tended to kill Hitler Thursday.
The Geneva newspaper La Suisse
said today that Marshal Kesselring
was rumored to have been arrest
ed on suspicion of completely in
the plot against Hitler along with
two generals and two colonies of
his staff, who were not named.
In the first dispatch permitted to
be sent to the press of a neutral
country, the Berlin correspondent
for the Swiss newspaper Der Bund
in Bern stated that the German
capital was quiet and that the re-
volt was considered to have COL
lapsed.
The correspondent said he had
been informed that no incidents
occurred throughout Germany and
added, las far as Berlin is con-
cerned, I can confirm this, it was,
and is quiet in Berlin" A reserv-
ed tone in his dispatch was taken
to indicate, however, that the writ
er either did not yet know all that
had occurred or was restricted, as
normally, to official information.
In an harangue to a group of
armament workers Somewhere in
Germany" the Nazi labor chief,
Robert Ley, emphasized the rift
between the Nazis and the upper
classes as reported by the Berlin
radio, Ley blamed 1.-The idiotic no.
bility'' for the plot against Hitler.
This apparently was a reference to
the Junkers caste, many of whose
members have been named as in
volved in the conspiracy.

u. S. NAVY NEEDS
$4,000 new MEN

WASHINGTON, July %. - R -
Navy Secretary Forrestal declar-
ed today that an additional $4,000
enlisted men are needed by the
Navy before Dec. 81, and another
1879, 1000 may be required by June
80 1915, to meet the accelerated
pace of the war against Japan.
Most of the men will be OBJ.
tanned through selective service.
The Nays call for selectees for
October already has been increas>
ed 5000 to total of 10000 men.
The planned increase of 1888, 1000
men by June 80, 1915, Forrestal
said, will raise the total strength
of the Navy to 1888, 900 men. Most
of the new enlisted personnel will
man amphibious craft and auxili-
airy vessels to be commissioned
next year.
"While the war in the Pacific is
by no means approaching an enc" -
he said. sit has been possible to
strike at Japan's inner defenses
and to bring the war to the door
steps of the enemy sooner than ex-
pected. We have moved faster than
we had expected in the Pacific.
Additional personnel are essen
tial to keep pace with the accelera-
ton of operations in that theatre.
Men who might not have been
needed until late next year must
now be drawn into service between
October, 1914, and July, 1945, to as
sure successful operations on the
revise dtimetable.
He added that it has been appar-
ent for several months that the
authorized strength of 3,006,00O
men in the Navy would be made
quate for needs late this year and
in 1945, and declared:
However, since top strength
was expected to be sufficient to
satisfy requirements through Sep
TENDER 1914, firm estimates of the
numbers to be requested through
selective services wer not mad un-
til major, operations then pending
in both the Pacific and Atlantic
could be assessed in the light of
accomplishment. 1t was not deem
ed desirable, in view of the man
power shortage. to draw men from
civilian pursuits until their induc-
ton was clearly necessary and un-
til the numbers needed could be
firmly established.
He said that the last three
months had made it possible to
make plans which resulted in ap-
prevail by President Roosevelt of
the increase in personnel ON ac-
tive duty to 5000, 600 by the end of
this year and 1889, 900 by June 80.
The possible effects of defeat of
Germany, he said, have been con-
sidered but it was determined that
the end of hostilities in Europe
will provide no measurable relief
to the Nays personnel problem.
