manager of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce, comes
’ through with one of his timely
gems:
"The annual miracle of Eas-

The United Press received this
report from eye witness sources in ,

any nations in the crisis area.
The Germans were said to be
massed along a line from Timiso-

Turnu-Severin, on the Danube, be-

The United States today demand-
ed that Italy withdraw its naval
attache from Washington because
of implication in the acta of sabo-

Roosevelt. The Italian ships had
been seized by this government
along with German and Danish

'oniia. the Italian ambassador, re-
questing that the attache, Admiral
Alberto Lals, be withdrawn az
