Germans Claim US

pedoes ia this eonvoy battle,
claimed la 'a special hlrh cam
?" Bud CHNmnalqa ; that their
jr. planet had fired the US aircraft
carrier Wasp with six direct
t bomb hlU, and that the Wasp
2 was "trying 1 make Malta."
i Since the Wasp once before de-
l livered planes in Malta, the Ger
r,- mans may merely be fishing for
information as to her present gen
'. eral location.
" The Germans also said they had
sunk nine freighters out of 46
ships in the convoy and had crip
V pled a British carrier, three cruis
v . ers and six merchantmen. The
: convoy, they said, had split up,
most pf it retreating westward
with some units still heading for
i Malta. .-'
Italy claimed her own light nav
al and air forces and submarines
had sunk 2 cruisers, one destroy
er and 6 merchantmen, and cred
ited German undersea and air un
its with sinking; the Eagle and
four merchantmen. The fascist
command also said a battleship,
two aircraft carriers and numer
ous steamers were hit, and claimed
that Italian fighters downed 32
allied planes, compared to Italian
losses of 12 aircraft.
The British admiralty said the
axis announcements were inac
curate and that no one should
believe them. There was no US
comment on the Wasp report.
Even more elaborate axis claims
were made during the June con
voy b'attles; they proved grossly
exaggerated, although the allies
had considerable loss. i
One victim of the present bat
tle was a French airliner which
reached Algiers from Marseille
with one passenger dead and sev
en wounded. The plane blundered
into an air fight over the convoy
in mid-sea, and was attacked by
four fighters of unstated nation
ality. French authorities charged that
l British fighter plane strafed the
regular Marseille - Algiers Air
France seaplane today in the vic
inity of the convoy battle, seriously
wounding seven other persons
Five of the wounded were in grave
condition. All were hit in the ab
domen. F. Hartmann

taxes would eat up 88.75 per cent
of all its profits.
This means, he declared, that
the company could not continue
to operate, adding:
"it is curious that I should be
here to plead, for the life of this
. company t a time .when, in Seat
tle, the company and its employ
es are being given the army-navy
production efficiency award.
Bowman said low pre-war
earnings would have been higher
and thus afforded a larger basic
exemption from excess profits
taxation except for the fact that !
the flying fortress "was so highly
regarded by the air corps that we
were not permitted to sell it

J. Cheever Cowdin of New

gram which the name said, would
produce $35,200,000,000 total fed-
eral revenues in 1943. - Coupled
with' this was a suggested $2,000,
000,000 reduction in non-war
spending. .
As the keystone of this pro
gram, the NAM proposed an 8 per

effective next January 1, which it
estimated would raise $4,800,000,

To head up government efforts

Several hundred Serb boys have
been sent to concentration camps
or deported to prevent them from
joining guerilla bands, the Yugo
slavs said.
' Early in Aarust, the exile
government added, German
General Turned, military com
mander of occapled Serbia, told
several hundred civic represen
tatives in Belgrade that "if the
German military command is
compelled to use one more sol
dier than the present occupying
foree for the suppression of dis
orders this will mean the annl
'hilatton of Serbia."
Indicative of the fighting in
Yugoslavia, the Berlin' radio
broadcast a report that the Yugo
slavians, lost 3000 dead and 9700
taken prisoner between July 23
and August 8.
The second front idea - is ever
present; the nazi press and radio
and movies are constantly telling
the Germans of preparations made
to resist it; France is jittery over
its possibilities; the Italians have
been assured by Premier MussO'
lini there would be no second
front in Italy or elsewhere.
DNB, official German news
agency, in a broadcast dispatch
said a plot to blow up the Ger
man-controlled Netherlands radio
station (presumably at Hilver
sum) had been frustrated by a
new series of arrests. '?
The nazis already have set to
morrow midnight as the deadline
for surrender of saboteurs who-last
Friday night "attacked a troop train
near j f Rot Jgrjiam. They have

1500 prominent hostages unless
the men are captured.
The Germans ordered all
Dutch women between 18 and
40 years of age to register for
a nasi women's labor battalion,
marking- the first attempt ' to
draft women for labor in Hol
land. The British radio reported Nor
wegian patriots had wrecked the
powerful turbine installations ia
the Stavanger district and set fire
to two workshops in the aluminum
works there. ,
The arrest of SO hostages in the
Belgian' province of Hainhault aft
er destruction of dynamos and
other electrical installations in
several factories was reported by
the Free Belgian news agency.
A neutral press report from
Prague said two men were execut
ed August 7 for high, treason
against the Reich.

The plane, a two-motored bomb

Big trees, some three feet in
