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 . . . ."
Three other complaints, cli
maxing an investigation begun
in 1939, were filed before U. S.
Commissioner J., Stanley Hurd
in Detroit They charge that:
Theresa Behrens secured in
formation as to the location of
the manufacturing plants of the i
Pullman-Standard Car 'Manufac
turing company of Chicago, the
number of employes engaged by
the company in manufacturing
. war material, the. kind of war
material then being manufac
tured by . the company, and the
transportation of war materials.
Thomas Information
Dr. Thomas secured informa
tion as to the number and loca
tion, of certain plants of the
Western Electric company, in
Ohio manufacturing war mate
rials. ' ;
ForaV Production Eyed
Grace Buchanan-Dlneen se
cured information as to the pro
duction capacity of the Ford Mo
tor company in manufacturing
war material, the safety of con'
traction of such plant against
sabotage, the safety of construc
tion of the plants against air
plane attack and bombing and
the operation plans of the United
States by which military air
planes departed from this coun
try for. the war theatre., .
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.
Previous espionage arrests were
made under peace time statutes,
which did not provide the death
penalty.
. Hoover said the activities of
the group since this country's
entry into the war centered
about Grace . Buchanan-Dineen,
described as an "attractive, well
' educated descendant of French
nobility, who, though a native
of Canada, had been carefully
trained by Germans in espionage
work." .
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.,. .

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.

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. , . ..

NAZI CAPITAL
(Continued from Page One)
some American volunteers par
ticipated in the assault, and
RCAF headquarters announced
that the full weight of the Ca
nadian bomber group was
thrown into the attack. 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.

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;

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.)
The Donets basin appeared
likely to become the most im
portant scene of the fighting In
the new phase of the red army's
summer offensive.
Pravda said German resist
ance was broken after a three
day battle along the strong line
of fortified populated points
southwest of Voroshilovgrad.
