New Charges Filed
AGAINST Moran After
Robbery Conviction
By ths A,socioted Press

DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 27.-FederaI
warrants charging bank robbery
were filed today against George
Bugs Moran, former Chicago
gangster, and two companions who
were convicted last night of charges
OF robbing tavern employe OF
$4,000 last June.
The warrants, filed with United
States Commissioner Charles Ozias
by FBI agents, charged Moran
Virgil Doc) Summers of Hender-
son, KY, and Al Fouts of Dayton
with breaking into the Citizens
State Bank at Ansonia, Ohio, during
the night last November 9, looting
the safe and rifling safety deposit
boxes.
At the same time the warrants
were filed, Federal detainers were
served on Dayton County Sheriff
Harry A. Kinderdine by the United
States district attorneys office to
hold the men In the event a new
trial is granted on the tavern en-
ploye's robbery conviction.
Two Others Named.
Two other men, both now serving
prison sentences, were named in the
Ansonia bank case. They were Roy
Montgomery Foster, serving four
years in Leavenworth prison on an
auto theft charge, and James Mitch
ell, sentenced to Ohio Penitentiary
last July IL on another charge.
The new charges against Moran
piled up about IL hours after he
failed to convince jury of II wom-
en- and one man that he had settled
down in Kentucky as a respectable
businessman.
Throughout the IL days trial
Moran, who was known as Bugs
by Chicago hoodlums because of
his moodiness, insisted that he had
been living a quiet, circumspect life
in Henderson, KY, as an Gilman.
He produced two witnesses from
Kentucky who agreed with him
and he also offered an alibi that
he was some place else when John
kurpe, Jr, the tavern employe, was
robbed.
Will Rule on New Trial.
Common Pleas Judge Robert U
Martin announced he would sem
tence the trio after ruling on a
motion for new trial which de-
tense counsel prepared to submit
today.
Although Moran has escaped
prison terms on several occasions,
iron bars would be no novelty for
the one-time Chicago Miracle
Man." so-called because he was un-
scathed by slugs which killed many
comrades. From 1910 to 1918 he
served prison terms for robbery
after starting a career as a yegg
back in 1905, Chicago police said.
Moran joined the Capone- -Torrio
gang in 1923, then went with Dion
OBanion when Capone and Torrio
split.
When O'Banion was assassinated
in 1924, Bugs" took over. Before 1925
he lost three henchmen and in the st
Valentines day massacre that year
he lost seven. He was accused
twice OF attempts on Capone's life
in 1925-26.
Shortly thereafter he made quick
trip to Canada and on his return
he was accused many times but
never prosecuted in gang killings,
including the deaths of 10 in the
1880 10 days war"

0PA Probes Car Sales
In Black Market Here:
Hints at Link 10 Rinq

A District OPA spokesman said
today the agency was working or
an undisclosed number of cases OF
over-ceiling sales of used cars In
Washington and limited at further
action by local OPA enforcement
authorities.
At the same time. Enforcement
Chief j. Graham Walker disclosed
he had received complaints from in
dividuals that some new car dealers
are demanding prices in excess OF
ceilings"
Asked about the arrests in Lees
vile, S. c., yesterday of six men
linked with a $75, 900 900 ring dealing
in automobiles, the spokesman COM
mented that 'it may well be that
some lead will develop here"
The official recalled the District
grand jury handed down indictments
here early in July against nine used
car dealers charged with over-ceiling
scheduled for trial.
Refuses Details of Cases.
OPA refused to % into details of
It's current investigation. This is
customary in cases which remain
secret until arrests or charges are
made formally.
Special OPA agents who staged
yesterdays raid in Leesville said the
black market traffic in cars reached
into IA States and the District.
United States Attorney Claude N.
Sapp was quoted by the Associated
Press at Leesville as saying his office
would prosecute the cases vigorously.
He added:
These arrests will have a salu-
tary effect on all black markets and
particularly on the automobile black
market"
The men, ordered held for the No
vember term of Leesville Court, are
under $2,500 bond each and are sub
ject to a maximum penalty of a
5000 fine and one year in prison.
Special Agents Buy Five Cars.
The special agents, posing as deal
ers, quietly bought five automobiles
at an open-air market jammed with
an estimated 30 dealers and 500
automobiles. They paid $4,000 for
the cars.
They said the prices they paid
were double the OPA ceilings and
that if they had had sufficient funds
they could have purchased scores of
cars at such prices.
Those arrested were all from
South Carolina. One, C. Pope
CAN'T, 81, of Ridge Spring, identi-
fed himself as a former legislator.
Special Agent c. c. Moseley said
his men had determined that the
Leesvile operation was the "foun-
tainhead" for dealers from North
and South Carolina, Virginia, the
District of Columbia, New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee. Geor-
gia, Alabama, Michigan, Kentucky,
Louisiana Florida and Pennsyl-
vania.
Arrests Made Quietly.
So quietly were the arrests made
that few dealers were aware of
anything amiss. Immediately after
ward the agents moved through the
sales lot copying the license num-
bers of an estimated 300 cars.
Mr.. Moseley said the numbers
would be traced in an effort to learn
the sources of most sales.
The Leesville outlet for automo-
biles, Mr.. Moseley said, operated for
at least nine months, and sales
were approximately $75,000,000.
Most market sales, he said, were
confined to Mondays and attracted
dealers from all IA States. Cars
bought on the market, he added,
we're marked up 80 per cent for
resale in the dealers home towns
The OPA agent said his men had
evidence Of S1,850 cars selling for
$4,000 and some $500 cars selling
for as much as $500.

Roland A. PovuIl

| Lexington as printer, Roland
Povall like the place and when an
opportunity came to head back this
way he took it. This time it was as
member of the baseball team that
he came.
The baseball games were soon
over but Povall stayed on. Buying
half interest in The Advertiser from
Capt. Oltenburg, later his father-in-
law, the die was cast and Lexington
was the scene of his later activities
until this 1887, the one hundredth
birthday of the paper.
In 1895 he married Miss Gretchen
Oltenburg.
For two years the Oltenburg-
Povall partnership continued before
Povall bought the remaining half
interest. In 1900, The Advertiser
Publishing Company was formed.
It's incorporators were: R. A. Povall,
c. Oltenburg, w. H. Sutton, S. N.
Sample, K. H. Diggs, w. P. Tackett,
E. F. Noel, ]. B. Cunningham, r. E.
Wilburn, S. M. Smith, and j. E.
! Stanfield.
In a few years, Mr.. Poval left
this company voluntarily and its
distinguished group of leaders and,
like so many business leaders of
! this section, was forced to give full
time to his farming interests. While
success crowned his efforts as a
planter, the newspaper urge was too
strong to resist.
On Gooo friday, 1906, Mr.. Povall
established the Holmes County
Times. On Thanksgiving Day Of the
same year the Times and Advertiser
consolidated. The joint name, Times
Advertiser was kept but three weeks
before the time honored title, The
Lexington Advertiser, again held the
field alone.
Since that day, the path of The
Advertiser has paralleled that Of the
people it served.
Owned Durdnt News
In March 1923, MIR. Povall pur-
chased the Durant News in asso-
citation with r. U. Galloway. The
Durant paper was sold in 1928 to
N. L. Miles who was employed there
at the time.

MonyNozi s pies shere

Washington, March 12- (UP) - Sen. Harley M. Kilgore, D., w. Va, said today the first report on Maxi party membership in the United States indicated that Germany was in contact with party members here late in 1942, a year after the U. s. was at war.
 Kilgore is chairman of the Sen- ate Military Affairs sub-committee on War Mobilization. The Sub-com- mittee last night made public the names of 2,000 Nazi party members with addresses in the United States and Argentina.
 The records disclosed total Nazi party strength in the United States reached an apparent peak of 806 on December l, 194O. This, however, fell to 69S on December 31, 1941, and to 643 on December 31, 1922. In Argentina, Nazi party members totaled 2,110 in 1886 after several years steady growth. After some fluctuations, the party membership fell to 1,489 on December 31, 1942.
 The names, 600 with addresses in the U. s. and 1,4OO in Argentina, were compiled from Nazi party card files seized in the American zone of occupation in Germany. The files were captured by an Army team at a pulp and paper mill outside Munich, where they apparently had been stored preparatory to shred ding and destruction.
 The records are being microfilmed by the Army in Germany. The 2,0OO names were contained in the first five rolls of film sent to this coun- try.

(Conttnued from Page ID the decision to bomb the town, he said:
 According to our target flies, Coventry was a technical center. We called it little Essen Prepara- tions for the attack were very meth- odical, extraordinary so. I myself aided Goering in preparing them. (,
 Tt was a good navigational night. We did not even need the radio to find the targets. In particular cases whole areas have been considered as targets.
 "The next day we examined the pictures. The bombs had landed per- fectly. Much of the destruction, as ir Rotterdam, was caused by subSe- quent fires.
 we considered Coventry as 8 tar get was admissible according to in ternational law"
 Kesselring readily accepted res possibility for the Rotterdam raic as air chief in Holland at the time He said the bombing was carried oui according to plan and time, and tC our knowledge everything was com. plete."
 'sWar Accident"
 He said the raid had been plan. ned to coincide with armiStice nego. tiations between the NaziS anc Dutch, and the fact that it occurred after the city capitulated was real ly an accident of war;
 Paul Koerner, former Nazi statt secretary, testified that Goering per- sonally intervened to halt the Nag purge in June, 1884.

he said. He drove to the Chancel- lery and told the Ellehrer. After hearing 0oering's report, the Fueh- Ter issued orders stopping the purge, and ordered that any guilty ones prosecuting the innocent should be reported ct once"
 Goering ordered the dissolution of pre-war concentration camps at Breslau and Stettin when he was told of the mistreatment of inmates. Koerner testified. He said treatment was good at other camps, and was maintained for "the re-education of enemies of the state"
 Koerner said Goering obtained deniency for Ernst Thaelmann after the Reichstag fire. But under cross examination he admitted that the Communist was sent to Buchenwald and died there in 1044 "in an air raid

 Nothing could ever irritate the Russian people more than an att tempt to intimidate it." the article continued.
 Then, pointedly, Izvestia said that 1t was just such an attempt that doomed Adolf Hitler.
 Until now those who tried to show strength to the Russian peo- pie without exception lost in the undertaking. Why then does Churchill call the two great Anglo Saxon nations to this fatal road?''
 The Izvestia article took in even larger scope than yesterdays at tack in ,Pravda on Churchill's speech. Izvestia not only denounced the British wartime premier, but added some statements on Russian policy.
 We know well that the Soviet Union is not after world sHprem- acy," Tarle wrote. Even Churchill does not believe "this absurdity, " the writer added.
 The article warned that because of the "blood freezing horrors" ex- perience during the war, Russia will not tolerate "even the most noder- ate preparation for attack on our frontiers"
 "If England, popular, democratic intellectual England, refuses to be plunged into a new disaster because of invented phantomS, America which is separated by greater dis tance than England from these phantoms, will hardly be scared by Churchill's prophetic exclamations,' D IzveStia said.
 The newspaper attacked the Brit ish armed ravishing intervention in Greece, while the Moscow radio attacked Premier Themistocles So- foulis for going ahead with March 31 election plans under what fl called instructions from London.
 Elections on the appointed date will be nothing but falsihcation oi the Greek peoples wishes" 1t said
 The London Daily Herald, orgar Of the Labor Party, criticized tht Russian press for attacking Church. i'll. whom 1t called politically dead while ignoring friendly utterancei toward Russia by Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and other British leaders. It noted particularly tha the Russian press never reported Bevin'S offer to extend the Anglo. Russian pact to 30 pears.

 President Truman said last week that he had no plans for another big three meeting of chiefs of stale in the immediate future. He added that if such meeting were held, he thought 1t ought to be in Wash ington.
 State Department officials, mean while, felt that there should be less emphasis than in the past on such meetings and more emphasis upon settlement of international differences through the United Na- tions.
