Fay in Brooklyn and held in $30,000 bail to await removal proceedings to return him to Detroit The justice' department an nounced at the same time the arrests in Detroit of two un identified German aliens, both women. - Hoffman Arrested Hoffman's arrest in New York was reported shortly after J. Ed gar Hoover, FBI director, an nounced that the other three were in custody in Detroit on espionage charges. ' Hoover said Hoffman was re cently assigned a ship in Mew York after joining the U. S. mer ' chant marine and had furnished information on naval bases and convoys and "stated that he Join ed the merchant marine with the hope he could desert in a for eign port and escape to Ger many . . . ."

The -justice .department said the arrests were the first under the war-time espionage statutes, which provide a death penalty or up to 30 years imprisonment.

Hoover said she entered the United States on October 27, 1941, arriving in New York by Atlantic Clipper. She first came to the attention of the FBI, Hoover said, as a mysterious "Miss Ruth of Detroit," in No vember, 1941. , Cooperates With FBI Subsequently,' Hoover, added, she "cooperated fully with the FBI in receiving information desired by the German espion age service when it became ap parent to her that she could not carry out the instructions of her nazi employers." Hoover said she had operated under the surveillance of the FBI, and all lnrormation report ed to her and forwarded to her nazi espionage superiors abroad had cleared - through the FBI, and army and navy intelligence services.,. .

Operation of Community Cannery at Lakeview 7 old A successful community 'can nery now being conducted in Lakeview was described this week by Marjorie Brissenden, home management supervisor for the FSA here, who said that a similar one could be establish ed in Klamath Falls if enough interest in such a project were shown here. Under the plan, according to Allies Agree To "Open City." Says Vatican . BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 24 VP) A Rome dispatch to the Basler Nachrichten today quot ed Vatican circles as saying that British and United States replies agreeing in principle to the 'dec laration of Rome as an open city had been received by the papal secretary of state. The Anglo-American replies, the dispatch said, listed condi tions as chiefly a Vatican guar antee of the move and the es tablishment f a Swiss commis sion for the execution, of demili tarization measures. The dispatch said Italian gov ernment authorities reported they knew nothing of the replies, which were not mentioned in the censored Italian press. LONDON, Aug. 24 UP) Italy has formally advised the British and American governments of steps taken to demilitarize Rome with the view of having the Ital ian capital treated as an open city, a Stefani broadcast record ed by The Associated Press said today. A Rome radio broadcast Aug ust 14 said the government of Marshal Pietro Badoglio had de cided to declare Rome an open city without further delay.

Horne Takes Job at Marshfield O. J. Home, former manager of the General Motors Accept ance corporation offices here, has accepted a position as manager of the Chevrolet and Buick agency at Marshfield, he dis closed Tuesday. Horne will move to Marshfield immediately. He has recently been an investigator for the OPA office, and has been active here as staff sergeant for the state guard. Telephone 4S14 FOR DRUGS Drug Store" Phone 4S 14 Up atYosemite Mrs. Brissenden, each person who wishes to have food canned, brings his own fruit, vegetables or meat as the case may be, and has it ready to be blanched and canned. She packs the food in the tin cans herself, but the pressure vats and sealers are operated by experienced ear ners or instructors sent by the state. Only cost of the canning pro cess to the person having food canned, besides the food itself of course, is a sum of six or seven cents for each tin can used. The cans are supplied by the can nery. Upon community request the state department of vocational education at Salem will start a community cannery, provide in structors and, to some extent the equipment Any. cafeteria or other large room with running water and full line can be used as a location for the cannery. and the only other major equip ment needed is a pressure vat and sealer. Mrs. Brissenden said that In Lakeview as in many other com munities throughout Oregon the plan is working very success fully with many people from those communities having large quantities of fruit and vegetables expertly and safely preserved at a very small cost to themselves. Anyone interested in. the es tablishment of a community can nery here can send their request to Iris Nelson, Herald and News. If enough response is shown, it is probable that a cannery could be established here this fall (though the canning season is getting short), or at least by next year. , . ..

Seven of the missing planes were Ca nadian. A dispatch from Lowell Ben nett, American correspondent at a Midlands bomber base, which passed British censorship said "Some S000 veteran RAF fliers from over the empire and some American volunteers" partici pated, dropping the bomb load in 42 minutes. 700 Planes Assuming that each plane carried an average of seven men the usual number on an RAF heavy bomber this would indicate that more than 700 planes were used. Two of the bombers apparent ly from the Berlin raid came down in Swedish territory, one in flames after a running bat tle with a German fighter which also landed in Sweden. Prelim inary reports said nine of the 14 crewmen of the two ships were accounted for. Reporting strong formations over Berlin, the German com munique said "The reorganized air defenses prevented a con centrated attack upon the city and shot down 60 multl-enginrd bombers, according to reports thus far." Incendiaries Used "Explosive and incendiary bombs caused destruction in res idential quarters and to public buildings and hospitals," it add ed. "The civilian population suf fered losses."- Two big formations of heavy bombers which appeared to be Flying Fortresses winged across Dover strait in midafternoon to day towards northern France. Unescorted and still climbing, the bombers took up battle for mations while over the water. Scope of Raid The scope of the raid indi cated that the allied command was opening its supreme offen sive against the German capi tal free of large scale attack since the end of March on a scale comparable to that which crumpled Hamburg into a heap of rubble. The air ministry communique said that bombers attacked "in very great strength." "The assault was delivered in clear weather just before mid night and preliminary reports indicated that the bombing was highly concentrated," the bulle tin added.

Rape-Slaying Trial May Go To Jury Today (Continued From Page One) water were evidence of a crime. "Even a person with the capacity of a nine-year-old child would report a drowning if he thought there was no crime tn connection with it," Spauldlng declared. Lay ton's testimony that he did not report the incident because he was frightened disproved de fense efforts to show his mental capacity was so low he was in capable of emotional disturb ances, the district attorney con tended. Rape Not Proved Harry Hay, Portland, assistant defense attorney, held that the state did not prove an attempt at rape or any act by the defen dant that . caused Miss Hitde brand's death. He dented the state's claim that the river bank path was too rocky and brushy for the pair to have run along and suggested the girl, a good swimmer, may have been bruised in falling from the bank. The torn cloth ing, he said, could have been left in the frequented spot by some one else. Hay said Layton's low mentality caused him to run away. He charged state police "tricked this child" into a con fession statement by keeping him awake all night under question ing while he was suffering from a bad tooth. Hay charged also that pictures of the girl's body, the river bank, and torn clothing introduced as state exhibits were "an attempt to stampede the Jury." In an attempt to prove the Hil debrand girl was wayward, Hay said a guardian was appointed in 1941 for her mother, who has seven other children; Resignation of Sumner Welles On PR's Desk (Continued from Page One) resigned at the request of Mr. Roosevelt. -"Th.ro h bm no misunder standing between the two men, the article said.

E (Continued From Page One) retreat back from the recaptured former capital of the Ukraine Frontline dispatches said the Germans applied torches to Kharkov before being ejected from the city yesterday and also carried out wholesale demoll Hons, loaving behind them only a city of hollow walls. Heavy Pressure The Russians were keeping up tho heavy pressure from their new Kharkov base, giving the Germans no time to recover. The red army was expanding in a drive for reconqueat of the Ukraine. Poltava, the historic battle field southwest of Kharkov where Charles XII of Sweden met defeat, appeared to be the next red army objective. Farther south in the Donets basin another Russian push gained momentum after taking Donetsko-Ambrosievka, a rail road station SO miles north of German held Taganrog. The red army pressed Its assaults on this southern side of the German flank. Red soldiers also were attack ing on the northern flank in the Kxyum sector. (The Oerman communique as serted nazi troops had repulsed the Russian advance in the Khar kov sector but admitted the Russians had made "small dents in the German lines" near Iz yum. . It asserted the gaps had been closed. Over the whole front the Germans said they had destroyed 198 Russian tanks and 85 planes yesterday.)
