told newspapermen that Russia
had complained that practically
50 per cent of the wire manufac

How Fraud Worked.
. The justice department thus
described "the conspiracy to cir
cumvent government require
ments and specifications in the
manufacture of wire and cable":
"Without the knowledge of
government Inspectors, the defen
dants secretly Installed a trans
former or circuit bleaker on insulation-resistance
test equip
ment. It was commonly called
n 'button box' by those operating
it.
"Ry secretly manipulating the
button box during tests of wire
and cable, company officials and
Inspectors were able to 'pass' in
ferior or defective material which
did not actually meet rigorous
government requirements ol
2,200 megohms per 1.000 feet of

Clark said the complaint from
Russia contended that tests of
the wire, sent there for combat
use, showed that w hen put under I -iff

I'ierre Laval, Adolf Hitler's pup
pet in Vichy, apparently figured
in whatever scheme was hatching
In the axis nest.
He sat in on the week end con
ference of high German and Ital
ian officials who were called to
Hitler's headquarters to discuss
what axis broadcasts called "ques
tions of common strategy."
Laval probably was asked
what role France would play In
that strategy and likely was
given his orders.
Observers coupled reports that
the axis was prepared to use in
north Africa even the weapons
and men needed on the Russian
front with the statement of an al
lied spokesman in Algiers that
"we have a lot of long-hard fight
ing ahead of us."
While the axis was believed to
be getting out of Libya, Informed
opinion in London was that Rom
mel would use every conceivable
means of rearguard and delaying
action In order to gain as much
time as possible for consolidation
of the position at Tunis and
Blzerte.

spokesman said last night, how
ever, that a preliminary check
indicated the number would run
to more than 40 planes.
Flying southward over Paris,
where many of the American air
men had their first glimpse of the
Eifel tower, the four-motored
bombers soon were beyond range
of their protecting fighters. Then
large formations of German
Focke-Wulf 190's dived to the at
tack.
"We would see their vapor
trails long before the planes were
visible, so we had plenty of notice
they were coming," one pilot said.
The results of the great raid
on the enemy aircraft park and
airdrome were called "satisfact

grimly enthusiastic over the air
fighting, which did not end until
the bomber formation was picked
