People Said to Back Group That Takes Over After Flight of Pro-Nazi Leader PANAMA CITY Panama's new, pro-democratic government said today that aboslute order prevailed after its coup d'etat, and the ousted pro-Nazi president, Arnulfo Arias, asked to be allowed to return from Havana as a "private citizen." Arias telephoned Ernesto Jacn Guardia, who was second vice-president under him, and president for a few hours yesterday after the coup, and asked whether the political upheaval was fait accompli, and if it was, whether he could come back.

It was not learned what Guardia had replied. But Arias' return is a question for the new president, Ricardo Adolfo De La Guardia, to decide. So far, Arias was accused of nothing more than abandoning his office, in violation of the constitution. Whether Arias had got wind of the coup and fled to Cuba, or whether the new government had taken advantage of his absence to assume power was not clear. The new government worked late last night, and the genei al opinion was that the people were behind it Octavio Fabrega, new minister of foreign relations, formally notified all diplomatic officers in the country of the change President De La Guardia, exercising his powers as minister of justice, ordered the arrest of various government officials and the entire staff of the pro-Avi- government newspaper La Tnbuna.

Show Importance of Striking While Germany Is Engaged With Russia Weakness of Nazi Forces Jn Western Europe Seen as Opportunity Britain May Never Have Again By UNITED PRESS Great Britain reverberated today with urgent demands for action--any kind of action--to strike Germany now in an attempt to slow the Nazi steamroller crushing forward 125 miles or less from Moscow. Berlin reports said that Soviet forces of the center are being squeezed relentlessly by a series of vast death traps.

London estimated 3,000,000 Nazi troops and another 1,000,000 of Germany's allies have been hurled into the fight. In the south, London heard, the Germans have advanced to within 100 miles of Rostov and the German radio claimed that Soviet defense of the Perekop sector has collapsed and "the gates of the Crimea are now open." The Soviet press clarioned the gravity of the situation and admited that superior Nazi forces have advanced in both the Vyazma and Orel regions despite every effort of Soviet armies to halt their momentum. But Moscow denied Nazi claims of huge encirclements of Russian foi'ces and listed tanks, planes, armored cars by the hundred as having been destroyed in the lighting sectors. In London these events were building up. All section.s of the press joined in a clamorous appeal to the government of Prime Minister Winston Churchill to act--now.

A policy of "boldness within the bounds of reason" was a The newspapers frankly stated their view that Britain should and must invade the continent, regardless of risk and losses.

"The evidence compels the conclusion that it has not been that ALCOA is guilty of any violation ol the Sherman act as wa fe chaiged the government's, i that the government has failed to prove its charges in any of the three phases into which it divided the case; namely (1) monopolization, (2) con.spu- acy, and (3) othei misconduct," Judge Caffey ruled. "In my judgment, it would be greatly contrary to the public m- teres.1 to dissolve or enjoin Alcoa Theie is no warrant in the fact or in law for dissolving Alcoa.

The trial opened June 1, 1938, and the evidence, when it was completed last March 12, amounted to 40,708 pages. Another 4,787 printed pages were filed to cover 1,883 exhibits.

Betty Hauk of Celina and Urban Kaup of Coldwater were accosted as they in a parked automobile last July 28 Stoker was captured at Hamilton a few days later. He pleaded guilty to charges of kidnaping, robbery and automobile theft. Miss Hauk married Kaup ic- cently. sibly the Soviet ambassador, Ivan Maibky. He said thai if Russia was given the choice of obtaining Anglo-American supplies or a British foray onto the continent "anywhere Norway to France" Russia would choose the continental invasion.

The Russian spokesman insisted Germany has only a thin line of 30 divisions, possibly 450,000 men, in western Europe--all second grade troops--and no armored divisions. He insisted that the Luftwaffe at no point in the west could offer formidable opposition while the tilantic battle raged in Russia and suggested Britain might never again be presented with the opportunity of the moment. The issue apparently was certain to be voiced almost immediately in the house of commons and htrtdent were the cries for action, that it was believed Churchill may be forced to shake up the government and chop what were descirbed as a members- Military experts were not so certain that Britain was capable of any decisive action at the moment They believed the crisis the Nazi drive on Moscow may come this week-end The Germans were pounding powerfully toward the Russian capital along three main lines.
