JVIE war today (Wednesday)
is being fought chiefly with
words. There is comparatively
little shooting and that is being
done cautiously in the hope ot
avoiding political complications.
USSOLINI puffs out his
chest, juts his jaw and tells
an Italian audience in Rome: "It
should be known that American
intervention does not bother us
excessively."
A little farther on in his
speech, he gets off this one:
"By AGREEMENT WITH
THE GERMAN COMMAND, al
most all Greece, including Ath
ens, will be occupied by Italian
troops."
w
HEN II duce's Italian troops
were trying BY THEM
SELVES to take Greece, about
nil they got was trouble. It
ivasn't. until Big Brother Adolf
was called in that the tables
turned.

Frankensteen Calls for
General Purge, After
Batch of Suspensions
LOS ANGELES, June 13.
(AP) A score of top ranking
CIO officials are coming to Los
Angeles in response to Richard
T. Frankensteen's call to purge
the Pacific coast leadership of
the United Automobile Workers
of subversive elements.
Frankensteen, national head of
the aviation division of the CIO
UAW, declared in an address
their purpose Is to "clean out
communists from positions
where they could dominate CIO
policies in the UAW organizing
drive on the Pacific coast."
Ho reiterated his declaration
that the five-day strike at North
American Aviation plant called
by local union officials during ne
gotiations before the national de
fense mediation board at Wash
ington, was "a wildcat and out
law strike."
"I condemn the irresponsible
acts of the local leaders of the
striking UAW who surrendered
our union to the communist
party and who sought to use its
strength to preelpltnte a strike
against our national union, our
national government and our na
tional defense," he declared.
Frankensteen has suspended
officers of the local union and
members of Its negotiating com
mlttof along with five UAW in
ternational representatives. He
announced he had filed charges
against Lew H. Michcner, UAW
west coast regional director,
with national CIO headquarters.
Next objective of the UAW air
craft organizing drive, Franken
steen said, will be Douglas Air
craft Co., with some 20,000 pro
duction workers as against 9,000
at North American.

Hint of Invasion'
Squelches Issue
Of Nazi Journal
BERLIN, June 13. (AP) Pro
paganda Minister Paul Goebbels,
In an article appearing In an edi
tion of the Voelklscher Boohach
ter which later was confiscated,
discussed today the possibilities
of Invasion of England and indi
cated the island of Crete was an
example of what might happen to
the island of Britain.
"If today Crete events are hot
ly debated in England, one need
merely to substitute the word
England for Crete tp understand
what is meant," Goebbels wrote.
There was a veiled suggestion
that surprising developments
might be In store for England
within two months. ,
He said that "If two months
ago someone had told Churchill
we would have Crete at the be
ginning of June he probably
would have laughed. But today
Crete is in our hands and if
someone now wore to tell him
what might happen within the
next few months he probably
would laugh again."
Goebbels said the British have
a traditional attitude toward mili
tary matters and are slow to ad
just themselves to technical de
velopments. The German army,
on tho other hand, takeB nothing
for granted, experiments con
stantly, works out 'old problems

Demand Reparations

German authorities declared
bluntly today they would not be
"buffaloed" by United States re
action to the sinking of the S. S.
Robin Moor America's first tor
pedo victim of the war even as
the state department In Wash
ington prepared a vigorous pro-
test based on evidence that the
ship was deliberately sunk by a
nuzi U-boat.
"We won't be buffaloed by any
American and English discussion
concerning the Robin Moor," a
Berlin spokesman said.
"Whenever any ship with con
traband sails for England we'll
shoot at it, whether it is the Ro
bin Moor or anything else."
Sumner Welles, United States
undersecretary ot state, declar
ed In Washington yesterday that
the Robin Moor carried no arms,
ammunition or military material
ot any character and that her
general cargo, ranging from -steel
rails to - women's hosiery ,
was destined for no port in a
combat zone.

that many ships bound for Eng
land had already been sunk and
that Germany was In no hurry
about participating in discussion
of the Robin Moor Incident.
One of the Robin Moor's sur

German seamen came aboard the
ship and seized her radio to pre

Moscow Denies
Menace From Nazi
Army on Border
MOSCOW, June 13. (AP)
Soviet-Russia said tonight that
German troops, freed from ope
rations in the Balkans, are rnov
Ing to eastern and northeastern
Germany (where they face Rus
sia) but added that "it must bo
assumed" that the movements
have no bearing on Russian-Gorman
relations.
, Some reports said Germany
was demanding use of Russia's
vast Ukrainian granaries and tho
passage of German troops
through Russia Into the middln
east.
London heard that Adolf Hitler
had made demands of such mag
nitude on Soviet Premier Stalin
that acceptance would virtually
end Russia's military hold im
both the Baltic and Black seas.
There were widespread reports,
too, that Germany has massed
130 nazl divisions roughly 2,000,
000 troops along the soviet bor
der. Foreign quarters In Ankara,
Turkey, said last week a German
Invasion of Russia was set for
mid-June.
The London Times, often offi
cially Inspired, commented on
the reported turning point In
Berlin-Moscow relations with the
declaration that the two nations
were playing "a dangerous game
of bluff and counter bluff."
The Times said Germany and
Russia were "determined the one
to extort and the other to refuse
as much as It dares without pro
voking open hostilities."
