- Uche in Washington, on the
grounds that he was connected
' with the sabotaging of Italian
merchant ships in American
ports. Promptly, Italy demanded
the recall ol William C. Bentley,
- then assistant military attache
t Rome.
' Wiedemann affected
Today's choice to the German
government affects scores of con
sular officials throughout the
.the United States, including
Captain Fritz Wiedemann, the
German consul general at San
Francisco who is a personal
mend of Adolf Hitler.
In making the action known,
Welles told his press conference
that the government had noth
ing in mind at this time regard
ing similar action against other
countries, including Italy.
He asserted also that the step
had no relation to the sinking of
the American merchant ship
Robin Moor which survivors said
was torpedoed by a German sub
marine. The closing of the German
consulates and other agencies,
Welles said, had been under con-
idera"on for some time.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16
VP) Captain Fritz Wiedemann,
German consul general here and
Adolf Hitler's superior officer in
the old war. shrugged his
shoulders and said "I don't
know where I'm going to go.'
after discussing the U. S. order
closing all German consulates.
A small American flag was on
his desk.
. "The times here haven't been
very easy," he told newspaper
men. "Sometimes it has been
little tough."
He added: "I don't think I
will have to join the army.
I am very curious, too, and very
interested in where I will have
to go."
Often spoken of as the No. 1
nazi in United States, Wiede
mann said "all I can say is that
when I came here 2 VI years
ago, full of hope and good in
tentions, I by no means realized
this as the desirable end."

Turns 'Diplomat'
PORTLAND, June 18 (UP)
Six-year-old Allen Dewitt Me
Intire of Chiloquin today was
a "diplomat," at least in the
eyes of Queen Betty Jane
Harding and her Portland
Rose festival court.
The royal party toured the
Shrincr's hospital for crip
pled children, and someone
asked a roomful of boys it
they thought the princesses
and their queen were pretty.
"Yes," piped Allen.

of the offensive.
(The border curves to the
southwest in this region and ap
parently action occurred on
both sides of the line. Neither
the communique nor London
sources indicated the depth of
the British penetration.
(The Italian high command
claimed the British had been
'repulsed everywhere with con
siderable losses" and the Ger
mans said at least 60 British
tanks or armored cars and 11
RAF planes had been destroyed,
Both axis commands reported
the battle still raging today.)
The push into the Gambut
area, which some observers
took to mean a new British cam
paign to recapture Circenaica
from the axis, started last night,
24 hours after advance patrols
attacked an Italian column west
of the Libyan border.
On the east African front, the
Middle East command said Ital
ian General Pralormo with 2000
troops had surrendered in the
Soddu area, some 160 miles
south of Addis Ababa, the Ethio
pian capital. This force consti
tuted one of the major islands of
resistance in Ethiopia.
After the battle of the lakes
in the southern part of Ethio
pia, the general and the rem
nants of his divisions were said
to have taken to the hills where
they wejre harried by native
patriots 'and finally forced to
capitulate because of lack of sup-'
plies.
CAIRO, Egypt, June 16 OP)
Heavy fighting has developed in
the central sector of the British
advance into Syria and Lebanon
despite British efforts "to avoid
unnecessary bloodshed" in the
conflict with the Vichy French,
British general headquarters an
nounced today.
The allies captured Kissoue,
10 miles south of Damascus, nd
Sidon, 20 miles south of Beirut,
"in spite of the strong opposi
tion offered by t he Vichy
troops," the communique said.
"Although every effort has
been made to avoid unnecessary
bloodshed in the operation of
which the object was to counter
act German infiltration and fore
stall arrival of more important
German forces, heavy fighting
has also developed on our cen
tral sector," the command added.
