Belief 'that control of the Mediterranean likewise is essential to any lasting axis triumph figured in the prediction made to congress by General George C. Marshall that the next Nazi campaign would be an attempt to break Britain's' dominance of this great maritime highway.

Should Germany some day be able ship Russian and Rumanian wheat and oil from the Black sea through the Mediterranean to Marseille, Trieste and Flume, for distribution by rail from these ports, much of the problem of feeding and supplying Europe would be solved. The Mediterranean route already is being used to a limited extent at the risk of attack by British warships and bombers. Italian tankers have made repeated stealthy trips through the Dardanelles to Rumania. To hamper the traffic, the British last week bombed the Corinth canal, a short cut -through Greece. Whatever the future success for the "new order," for the time being Germany must do without all the supplies once drawn from Russia.

"Last year, according to some estimates, these supplies included enough grain to feed all greater Germany for' three months, oil, cotton, chromium and manganese and 500,000 tons of other supplies. Cuba Nips Axis Spies, Propaganda By BEN F. MEYER HAVANA, Aug. 18 OP) (The Tlribune special news service) Colonel Manuel Benitez, 30-year-old Havana police chief, says he has nipped pro-axis espionage and propaganda activity in Cuba before it had a chanc. to get a real foothold.

A counter-espionage bureau created by the young police chief has reported-the arrest of dozens of pel-sons on charges of espionage, and the seizure of many bales of pro-axis propaganda. The bureau recently took 150,000 bronze and silver medals addressed to the Spanish consulate here. Gen-aro Riestra, a Spanish consul and leader of the Spanish Falange, Fascist party, left Cuba after he had come under fire in congress. The medals had been sent here to be sold to raise funds for the Falange activities' in Cuba. "We keep close tab on Nazi-Fascist activities," said Colonel Benitez? "How well the job is done is demonstrated by the lack of active propaganda now.

But the German? and Italians are not our chief problem It is the Spanish Falange! (Cuba has a large Spanish colony.) But we watch the Falange closely." Subversive activities, he said, are "under absolute control in Cuba." Ade Resigns As College President MANSFIELD, Aug. 18 (iP) Dr. Lester K.

War Planes By LARRY ALLEN ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Aug. 18. (JP) Using American airplanes, pilots of the British Mediterranean fleet blasted today at axis posi tions in Libya, dropping a steady streom of high explosives and incendiary bombs on supply bases, troop concentrations and ports in a series of coastal raids. Navy planes also attacked every convoy warship they could And to hinder axis attempts to reinforce Libya. The axis-held ports of Bardia and Tripoli were bombed heavily.

Fliers of a squadron just returned from Bardia reported they had dropped 25 tons of explosives on that port, causing heavy damage and fires. It was the tenth raid there in a week. Some fleet air-arm torpedo-carriers attacked an Italian submarine based at Bardia, but observers did not learn the result. The British for the first time are starting use of the speedy American-built Martlet Grumman fighter planes. An American navy air force observer, Lieut.

Clifford Cooper of Norfolk, said in an interview that the Martlets per-foremd excellently. More American planes are expected shortly. Flying over the Alexandria area, I watched British pilots who had distinguished themselves battling Nazi planes during the bombing of the British aircraft carrier Illustrious and had crushed the backbone of Premier Mussolini's Italian fleet at Taranto put American aircraft through still tests for maneuverability and speed.

En route from Rochester, N. T. where they were spending a furlough at their homes, the four men ran into difficulties after their borrowed car began to act strangely early Sunday. Several stops at garages failed to disclose the trouble and when a few miles out of the city Sunday afternoon the car refused to run, the boys discovered they really needed help. Finally, getting the machine to a local garage they were informed their borrowed machine needed an entire motor as the engine head had been cracked by a leak in the water line.

Cost of repairs along the road for the car and subsequent hotel bills for the four in Altoona Sunday night depleted their resources and they were without any method of securing food, lodging or transportation back to their post, Camp Stewart, where they were due today. Told to contact the local Red cross office, the men found their first ray of hope when Mrs. Mame McAIeer, executive secretary, wired the camp to inform the authorities of their plight and make arrangements for. an extension of the furlough until they could return to camp. Sergeant John O'Brock of the army recruiting office also cooperated in expediting the furloughs so that the men would not be A-WOL from their post.

Pending arrival of their transportation funds and furloughs from the camp, the men were supplied with money for meals and lodging by the Red Cross secretary. "I didn't know," one soldier said, "that the Red Cross helped soldiers like this."

BOMAR' The German capture of Nikolaev and encirclement of Odessa mean that the Nazis are a bit closer to controlling the Black sea.

If the can dominate that body of water, they will be nearer their objective of setting up a blockade-proof "new in Europe. While the German press hails the occupation of the iron ore region as a shattering blow to Russia, of ficial Berlin is presumaby under no illusions that access to the Ukraine's riches can profit the reich economically until some time after the Black sea is opened to Axis tankers and other cargo ships. Of immediate importance therefore is the degree to which the Soviet naval forces have been weakened by loss of the Nikoleav base. That has not yet been disclosed. Transportation is a bottleneck in the effort to create a Nazi-dominated, self-sufficient Europe.

Water routes, which include the 700-mile long Black sea along with the Danube, canals, the Baltic and ultimately the Mediterranean, are as vital to that effort as the overtaxed, war-damaged railways. The bulk of approximately seven million barrels of oil Russia is credited with having supplied the reich last year moved at least part way by water. Some economists suspect indeed that, every drop was shipped by tanker across the Black sea to Constanta, Rumania's chief port, or to nearby points, and thence sent up the Danube. Russia's railways, inadequate even in peace to meet Soviet domestic needs, were relied on during the period of the strange Hit Churchill Returns, Plans Broadcast By the Associated Press LONDON, Aug. 18 Prime Minister Churchill came home today in the battleship Prince of Wales from his Atlantic meeting with President Roosevelt, and it was disclosed that he would make a broadcast soon.

Brenden Bracken, the minister of information, met him on his arrival to make arrangements for the speech. Churchill was expect ed in London tomorrow. Churchill returned, smiling and waiving his hat to the cheering people, amid a stir indicating that Britain in cooperation with Soviet Russia was planning some strong move in Iran (Persia) to halt alleged German infiltration on the route to India. It was thought possible that his address would deal with that along with many other subjects. As to his unprecedented trip to sea, it was i vealed that the prime minister had inspected British and American troops in Iceland on his way back home.

These were some of the newly-disclosed details of the historic meeting. Mr. Roosevelt visited the Prince of Wales only once on Sunday, August 10. He went aboard for religious services and joined with the prime minister, in singing "Land of Hope and Glory" and 'Onward Christian Soldiers" while patroling planes flew over head. American sailors accompanying the President to the Prince of Wales took cigarets and fruit to the British seamen, and to each of them Mr.

Roosevelt himself took a present accompanied by a card reading Best wishes. Franklin D. Roosevelt." Churchill left Britain aboard a destroyer amid the greatest secrecy. He transferred to the flagship King George and wag received there by Admiral John C. Tovey and then boarded the Prince of Wales, which was escorted outward and inbound by destroyers from the home fleet.

Girl's Body Found Against Gravestone (From Pace 1) had failed to disclose any trace of the man. Dr. J. W. Adams, county health officer, said the girl was strangled with hands, then a rope placed around her neck and twisted.

He said he did not believe she had been raped. Deputy Sheriff Bert James added that she evidently had been slain away from the cemetery. "There were gravel marks on her knees," he said, "which would indicate she had been dragged from a car to the grave." Buster cemetery caretaker, told a coroner's inquest which returned a murder verdict: "'She looked so natural there I thought at first she was alive."

Hilbert Mikel, county NYA director, of approval for the construction of a S3.767 pre-fabricated steel building to care for the expansion of the NYA program in metal working, ma chine and radio shop work in this area.

Proposed site for the new build ing is the old Lloyd estate tract. i immediately behind Jaffa mosque, The building to be erected on the site, will be 112 by 40 feet and construction is expected to be completed within the next two months. Local NYA authorities are now negotiating with Altoona school district officers for a 20-year lease on these grounds which are the property o)f the school district. Every effort is being made by Mikel to expediate the matter of the lease because several other counties are pushing for the new building and if negotiations are-not completed in the near future, there is a possibility the building may go elsewhere. The board is expected to meet soon to decide on the NYA application, it was learned.

Several other alternate sites have been inspected by the state, but this one has been designated as the best. The building, to be built entirely by NYA labor under the direction of state NYA engineers, will be one story in height, have its own heating plant, will De equipped with fluorescent lighting and have installed modern machinery for use in work experience given pupils. Architects' plans, as delivered to NYA offices here, call for an entrance driveway to the shop building from Pine avenue at Twenty-second street. The entire plot will be landscaped with flowers and shrubs and have macadamized driveways and parking areas. The main building, to be placed diagonally on the Plot, will have a small extension at one corner, 20 by 40 feet, forming an shaped structure.

small structure, the paint shop, also 20 by 40 feet, and one story in height, will be erected between the main NYA shop and the mosque. Engineers' plans call for approximately 1,060 cubic yards of grading and excavation. When completed, the NYA will operate three shifts, or about 300 boys, Mikel said. The old postoffice building now being used by the NYA will be retained for shop and drafting work and improved radio recording facilities are scheduled to be developed. This building will also be the site for headquarters for a health and youth counciling center comprised of Blair, Bedford and sections of other surrounding counties.

Phila. to Need 50,000 More Workers McNutt PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 18. JP) Paul V.

McNutt, federal security agency administrator, predicted today that industry in the Philadelphia area would need more skilled workers within the next few months and that workers at least will have to be imported into Philadelphia to meet this need. McNutt, here for a conference tomorrow between industrial and labor leaders on problems of gaining defense employment for silk workers out of jobs because of the non-importation of raw silk from Japan, pointed out in an interview that this area now holds 15 per cent of all the nation's multi- Dillion dollar basic defense contracts. Speaking of present conditions, he appealed to the district to "let racial prejudice fly out the window in tackling the job of building America's defenses" and give' the Negro a chance at jobs here. This prejudice, he said, whjch prevents a "great many technically trained Negroes from getting jobs in industry" was worse in Philadelphia than in any other large city.
