Nazis Taking Treasures of Rome; Vatican Fears Abduction of Pope Stockholm. Oct. 7 flJ.FO A fascist plot to kidnap Pope Pius was balked at the last minute by the Germans who were afraid of world reaction, a Bern dispatch to the Stock holm Tidningen said today. London, Oct. 7. (U.R) Re ports reaching London today said the Germans have embark ed on an unparalleled campaign of looting in Rome, confiscating priceless paintings, manuscripts and other art treasures, as Al lied r.rmles draw nearer the Italian capital. Special Nazi squads were said to be stripping Roman palaces museums and private houses of masterpieces on a scale dwarf ing their sacking of Paris and Warsaw. The London Dally Mirror reported that several trains laden with pictures, books, manuscripts and statuettes al ready have left for Berlin. Some however, were derailed and burned by saboteurs. The London Daily Express said the situation in Rome ap proached a siege with the in habitants bordering on- starva tion, while a German broadcast acknowledged there was food sufficient for only 10 to 16 days. First reports indicated that the Nazi looting was confined to the Italian part of Rome. Vati can City apparently has not been touched, but a Dally Mall dispatch from Madrid said VatW can authorities feared that Pope Plus XII might be carried off a hostage. By United Press The third American air-sea at tack oh Japari's'island Outposts in five weeks without reported enemy retaliation, served notice in Tokyo today that the United States navy is preparing to roll the enemy forces back across the Pacific.

Rabaul Hop Looms Gen. Douglas MacArthur's spokesman announced that con tinual air attacks had nullified Japanese aerial strength on vital New Britain Island north of New Guinea.

Yankee Stadium, New York, Oct. 7 (U.R) Smashing a crum bling Cardinal defense, the New York Yankees poured five runs across the plate in a big eighth inning today to beat St. Louts, 6 to 2, before a record world series crowd of 69,990 fans. The Yankees batted around their entire lineup as they took advantage of two Red Bird er rors and five base hits to blast the series debut of Rookie Southpaw Alpha Brazle and the Cards back to St. Louis for conclusion of the classic trailing by a count of two games to one. Good Until Eighth Showing good control, a fast sinker and tantalizing slow curve, the straw-thatched rookie had given the Bronx Bombers only three hits and one unearned run going into that big eighth inning. Then the stadium fell In on him.. .. - - He had weathered two Car dinal errors previously, chewing gum placidly as he mowed tne Yankees down, and it appeared that eight years in the minors would pay off after only two and one-half months in the majors.

Wiley, R., Wis., led a group of colleagues in a movement today to make public war reports made to the senate in secret session by five members recently returned from a 40,000-mile tour of world bat tle theaters. Wiley said during a luncheon recess of the secret session that Sen. Richard B. Russell, D., Ga., chairman of the globe-circling group, had given the senate in formation which ''the state" de partment should have been giv ing us all along." T think the whole country should hear it and I am going to propose before this day s over that the report be made public, he said.

Newspapers Helping Hitler Is Charge Of Russian Magazine Moscow, Oct. 7 (U.R) The Trade Union magazine, war and the working class, charged to day that a large section of the American Press was carrying on an anti-Soviet campaign "which fully corresponds to the inter ests of Adolf Hitler's agents." It specifically named the Hearst, Scripps Howard, and Patterson .- McCormick newspa pers. In an article apparently timed to appear on the eve of the forthcoming British - American Soviet conference of foreign ministers, the magazine said the New York Herald-Tribune and the newspaper PM were among those "trying to offset the poison generated by the anti-Soviet camralsn." The newspapers boast com bined circulation of more than 10,000,000. But "they are at sharp variance with the views of the masses of the American people and contradict the gen eral line of American foreign policy which stands for strength ening of collaboration with the Soviet union," the magazine said. It named the New York World Telegram, Chicago Tribune, New York Dally News, and New York Journal-American "rep resenting reactionary, defeatist and isolationist circles whose anti-Soviet campaign it designed to throw suspicion on Soviet foreign policy" as the leaders of the anti-Soviet press in America. stay longer. -
