Frtedrich Olbright, chief of supply for the German army, and announced that he had been cap tured and executed after sum mary court-martial.

Ludwig Beck and Col. Gen. Erich Hoeppner, a dismissed panzer corps commander, as lead ing figures in the unsuccessful coup. Beck committed suicide within a few hours after the bomb ex plosion that wrecked Hitler's headquarters and wounded the fuehrer, shooting himself when NOW TILL SUNDAYI!

McCormack (D., Mass.) that this is no time to get happily excited. McCormack, democratic leader In the house, sent word from Bos ton that "I am amazed at Senator Vandenberg's (R., Mich.) forecast of an early German collapse." He added: "this is not the time for re sponsible political leaders to build up an expectation of an early re turn to the ways of peace. It is rather the time to Inspire a grim determination to go forward and win the war." Vandenberg had said that "chances for an early German col lapse are sufficiently encouraging" to make it urgent for congress to act on bills for reconversion of industry from war uses. He has summoned republican senators to a conference next Tuesday. Chairman May (D. Ky.) of the house military afairs committee, ventured the forecast that Ger many would capitulate by Decem ber 1. Senator Thomas (D. Okla.), head of the senate subcommittee on military appropriations, com mented: "I don't see how Ger many CBn last through the rest of this year." Some other views on war de velopments: Senator Wagner (D., N.Y.): "My feeling is the crackup will come very , suddenly, when it comes. When generals in the German army show signs of being ready to quit, there must be the same kind of feeling in the ranks." Much less hopeful were state ments this week by Secretary of War Stlmson, Navy Secretary For reatal and Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the fleet. Stlmson said after his battle- front Inspection tour that the end of the European war "is not yet apparent" to the troops doing the fighting, and deplored talk of "quick victory."

College officials predict ed last spring that the low point In wartime enrollment had been reached, although they did not expect much change in the total for -the fall term of J944 com pared with that of a year ago. lLYMlti: THEATRE - Springfield.

It was controlled by I. G. Farben, the German trust, which held 81 per cent of the stock. The rest was held by French chemical concerns. It was their money, fl.000,000,000 francs of it, that found its way to Africa to await the coming of the allies, Riess said. Flandln and Pucheu, he added, "went to North Africa to assure Robert Murphy that they would collaborate with the occupation authorities in every way possible. . . .

Still, Riess said, "Pucheu and Flandin and a dozen or two other French industrialists and bankers who had arrived with them didn't think that was enough and they finally persuaded Mr. Murphy to fix the official rate at 50 francs to the dollar." j After the invasion Itself, Riess asserted, those who had aided the Americans in perfecting the In ! vasion plans either were Ignored j or punished, while the Americans I pushed the Vichyites and collab I orators into power, i Both deGaullists and the Jews j in French Africa who "had done j their utmost to make the invasion I possible" were shunted aside after the invasion. General Giraud, os I tensibly selected by Washington I and London to lead the liberated French, actually was chosen by the "French Industrialists, the brothers de Wendel, Peyrimoff de Fontenelles, Pierre Etienne Flan din, Pierre Pucheu, and oth ers. ..." "It seemed, in short, that everr.' one who had helped us to land was being punished, while everyone who had worked against us was being encouraged," Riess con cluded. Today, these French industrial ists who still reside in Africa, are concerned, "worried because things have not gone exactly as they had hoped." "Their main source of griev ance is (Gen. Charles) de Gaulle, who does not feel himself bound by arrangements concluded before he reached Africa," Riess said.

Sacramento Street Brawl Investigated SACRAMENTO, July 28 U.F9- City authorities and IX Col, Charles Steele of San Francisco, western defense command north ern sector provost marshal, are meeting today to discuss a Wed nesday night street brawl between navy enlisted men and civilians which resulted in the wounding of a sailor by a military police man.
