Gandhi in his newspaper "Harijan" warned the Japanese Sunday against expecting a welcome if they invade India. The Indian nationalist leader said he is agitating for Indian independence now not to embarrass the United Nations, but because he believes the allied powers will be unable to beat the axis combination unless India is free. Under the caption, "To every Japanese." Gandhi wrote: "I ask you to make no mistake about the fact you will be sadly disillusioned if you believe you will receive a willing welcome from India." He added Japanese are misinformed if they pince any other interpretation on the flare-up of sentiment for independence. Gandhi reasserted his belief in the effectiveness of fasting as an instrument of political action. "If the struggle which we are seeking to avoid with all our might has to come, and if it is to remain non-violent as it must in order to succeed, fasting will likely play an important part in it." he wrote.

Big Allied Planes Strike Again At Desert Target Expecting Imperials' Offensive, Nazi Force Digs in Upon Front CAIRO. July 26. (UP) Allied heavy bombers have made new at tacks on axis targets in the Egyptian battle zone, Crete and Tobruk, it was announced Sunday, as German Marshal Erwin Rommel dug in along the Alamein battle line in evident anticipation of another im perial offensive.

Allied bombers were reported i pounding effectively at axis bases with its deep-rooted religious divisions, without any constitutional form of government and no organized administration.

S. army fighter pilots, manning British Spitfires, joined the oattle of Europe for the first time Sunday and helped shoot down nine of Germany's newest Focke-Wulf-109 fighters in the biggest air dashes over Northern France in many weeks.

The daylight battles followed one of the most smashing blows of the war on the German arsenal city of Duisberg by RAF night bombers. The Americans flew the wing positions in V-formations of Spitfires during three sweeps of the French coastal area. Strong German fighter formations resisted every raid. Seven American pilots took part in the raids, flying British Spitfire fighters with RAF squadrons presumably as part of the operational training which is whipping United States air forces in Britain into shape to join the aerial offensive against Germany.

corps will operate independently, British and American authorities have agreed (Continued on page 3, col. 3) Commandos Hit Salamaua Japs GEN. Mac ARTHUR'S A D-QUARTERS, Australia. (Monday), July 27.

Salamaua. 150 miles northwest of the new Japanese bases in the Gona-Buna region, was the scene of a commando attack the first of the month. Allied airmen continued to pound the Gona-Buna area all day Saturday and Sunday, a communique said, and were believed to have knocked out Japanese food and ammunition stocks. Darwin, on Australia's north coast, was attacked again early Sunday night, the second night in a row. emphasizing the threat to Australia.

However, only three planes attacked the port city and damage was described as negligible. Chiang, Seeking Aid, Recalls China Victories WASHINGTON, July 26. (IP) Calling China an ally deserving of the aid America can give, Owen Lattimore, political adviser to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, pointed out Sunday that the Chinese Germans Push Deeper Into Rostov Area 2 Bridgeheads Set Up at Tremendously Heavy Cost To Nazis MOSCOW, (Monday) July 27. (UP) Russian defenders of the Caucasus, fighting furiously all along the lower Don, have thwarted German attempts to storm across the river in force, a Soviet communique said Monday, but a nazi assault army of 600,000 men and tanks has driven deeper into stricken Rostov. Though the Germans have established at least two bridgeheads across the Don in the Tsimlyanskaya area 125 miles east and slightly north of Rostov, late dispatches said, Soviet artillery has smashed a score of pontoon bridges there, as well as sinking several score rafts and rubber boats laden with thousands of enemy troops and equipment.

Street Fights Close Bloody street fighting at close quarters raged in Rostov, and the midnight communique conceded that the Germans, throwing mammoth tank forces into the assault, had succeeded in advancing at an enormous cost in men and machines. "In the area of Rostov fierce battles are in progress in the outskirts of the city, and our troops are inflicting heavy losses on the advancing enemy," the high command reported. "One small group of our men. armed with anti-tank rifles, hand grenades and petrol bottles, alone destroyed nine German tanks and killed several hundred Hitlerites." Repel Crossing Attempts On the Tsimlyanskaya front, the communique said, "Our troops engaged in stubborn battles, repelling repeated enemy attempts to cross the Don. In one sector our troops liquidated an enemy unit which tried to land on the southern bank, and more than 300 were killed." The high command said the Russians still were fighting fiercely in the Novocherkassk area 25 miles northeast of Rostov, but gave no (Continued on page 3, col.

Bevin said Russia "might be driven back and lose territory but I am confident Hitler will not break the Russian armies." i i Nation To Be Kept As Base Regardless LONDON, (Monday), July 27. (INS) Sir Stafford Cripps said Monday that whatever steps are necessary to maintain India as a base for a United Nations offensive against Japan must be taken fearlessly and sounded a warning that Mohandas K. Gandhi can not be allowed to "thwart" an allied drive for victory in the East.

Sir Stafford, lord privy seal and government leader in the house of commons, pointed out a radio address to the United States over CBS that India was offered com- plete liberty at the end of the war to devise and set up their own form of government. "We suggested the broad outlines of how they should proceed, but there was no rigidity in these suggestions and it was left open to the various religions and races to agree on some other method," he said in recalling his "mission to India." Emphasizing his regret when "they neither accepted nor put forward any agreed Sir Stafford added: "Gandhi demanded that we walk out of India leaving the country, Fleet of Planes To Carry Cargo To Be Sought Senate To Discuss Way To Send Supplies To Yanks in Alaska WASHINGTON, July 26. (IP) A measure creating a military supply board to direct the immediate construction of a fleet of cargo-carrying airplanes was drafted Sunday by Sens. Lee (D-Okla.) and Johnson (D-C'olo.) for introduction in the senate Monday, The primary purpose of the air fleet would be to supply the reeds of the American forces stationed in Alaska, Hawaii and on foreign soil, but the planes aiso would be utilized to carry supplies to forces of the United Nations in all parts of the world. Asserting that something must be done at once to offset the inroads made into merchant shipping by submarine sinkings, Lee told reporters he would seek to have the measure assigned to the military affairs committee for immediate consideration, i Chmn.

Reynolds of the military committee said that if this course were followed he would schedule hearings at which Henry J. Kaiser, West coast ship builder, Andrew Jackson Higgins, New Orleans ship builder and aviation experts and military officials would be called for testimony. AIR FREIGHT PROPONENT LEAVES FOR WASHINGTON OAKLAND, July 26. J. Kaiser, master builder who has suggested that this country construct great fleets of ocean-spanning cargo planes to lick the submarine menace, left here Sunday for Washington and Baltimore to appear before the senate war production committee and to visit the Glenn L.

Martin airplane plant, home of the giant flying boat Mars. Kaiser said he had been "profoundly and deeply stirred by the sincere and unbiased cooperation of not one but many officials of the largest aircraft "factories in the United States in the cargo plane program." Two Candidates For Clerk Tie in Sherman STRATFORD. July 26 (VP) Carefully checked unofficial election returns show two Sherman county candidates tied in a race for county clerk at 251 votes each. They are F. B.

Mullins and Mrs. Lelah Boney. Election officials said that if 1he official count showed them still tied, both would be certified for a second primary; that a tie in a second primary would leave the choice to the county democratic executive committee by lot, Commercial Allied there has been increased dis cussion in recent w-eeKs on xne desirability of creating such a post, but definite action has been delayed thus far by seemingly immovable obstacles encountered in the organization of the military forces of leading United Nations. Marshall has been suggested as a military figure who would be a popular choice for such a position if the allies succeed in finding a satisfactory way to create it. He has been most active in the joint chiefs of staff organization in Washington which represents most of the warring anti-axis rations.

With the war being waged on a completely global front from Melbourne to Murmansk, these officials said, the advantages of a supreme command are multiplied but the difficulties in creating it are also multiplied. The axis has no unified command, so far as is known here, but on each of the effective fronts there is a completely unified command, while United Nations forces have only coalition commands. Moody Leading Allred Here By 1,400 Ballots Brodie Likely Facing Runoff in Race For Commissioner Post Dan Moody, the statewide third of the "big three," led James V. Allred, his nearest opponent, by approximately 1.400 votes in his home, Travis county, which had heard all three major U.S. senatorial candidates.

W. Lee O'Daniel was slightly more than 40 votes behind Allred. The report includes 55 complete boxes out of 59. Gov. Coke Stevenson led Hal Collins, who had conducted his campaign along with O'Daniel, by a total that ran a little over 6-to-l, and Atty.

Gen. Gerald C. Mann had an extremely top-heavy vote for reelection over J. F. Hair.

Write-in Failing The write-in campaign recently launched to elect Mrs. Arthur Woody, who was appointed constable when her husband died several weeks ago, apparently did not gain enough strength to elect her. Although more than 1,000 votes were cast for Arthur Woody without writing the "Mrs." front of it, M. M. Thorp appeared to have won without the possibility of a run -off.

"I have no feeling of bitterness or humiliation over the results or resentment over anything that happened during the campaign.

(UP) A nine-state police alarm was broadcast late Sunday after reports that three nazi saboteurs sought by the federal bureau of investigation had been seen by a motorist near Bririgehampton, Nassau county, N. Y. FBI agents were checking this and other reports, according to P. E. Foxworth, agent charge of the FBI here.

He denied reports that the three had been arrested here. "We are still looking for them," he said. It was reported that the motorist, whose name was not given, was hailed by three men along the Montauk highway, about three miles west of Bridgehampton. Believing them the saboteurs, he refused to take them into his car and notified police, who patrolled all roads and railways. J.

Edgar Hoover, FBI director, announced Saturday that the three men Walter Kappe, alias Kappel, Joseph Schmidt and Rheinhold Rudolf Barch all highly trained in nazi sabotage methods, were being sought.

June 19 to get his lifebelt and go on deck. A warning shot from the antiaircraft gun had halted a small trading boat near the sub. and Gibbs was ordered to swim to the little craft. He was landed six hours later on a large Caribbean island. Gibbs said the sub crewmen acted like men "who knew they had dirty job to do and wanted to get it over with and go home" One sailor who entered the crew's quarters with a "Hoil.

July 26.

(IP) The Texas senatorial contest was watched with keen interest here as returns came in on Saturday's democratic primary election in that state, but comments were withheld pending a final count of ballots. Speaker Rayburn (D-Texas) was among those who eagerly awaited throughout the day for news on the senatorial and house races. A group of Texans met late Saturday night at the home of Roy Miller of Corpus Christi to get the early returns. Among them ere Jesse Jones, Sen. Con-nally and several house members.

in each of them, the election bureau arrived at an estimated total vote for the race. See 975.000 Vote The 112 counties will account for 429.569 votes, the bureau stated, which figure is 85.25 per cent of the poll tax strength of those counties. Using this figure as a basis for estimating the total vote cast, the bureau announced the final vote will approximate 975.000. Thus there are still about 146,000 votes to be tabulated. In these 112 counties, the O'Daniel vote totalled 206.775, or 48.13 per cent of the total there.

Then using this percentage figure, the bureau estimated that O'Daniel's final vote would be in the neighborhood of 475.000, or 12,500 votes short of a majority, thus forcing the election into a runoff.
