AMERICAN RANGER AFTER DIEPPE RAID—An American Ranger at left receives a
light from a British Commando, as their war begrimed comrades look on. These men had
just landed at a South England port after their daring raid on Dieppe, France. (Passed by
British and U. S. censors, cabled London-New York.) — (NEA Cablephoto.)
KINDA SC ALE YI HUH BEAUTIFUL?—With no priorities
on tarpon, perhaps some novel and useful contraptions can be ;
made from its leaflike scales in addition to the fun, of course, I
of landing these crafty silver king warriors. Jean Merrick,
Galveston, beauty, thought of a bathing suit and is already
planning a costume from the scales of the tarpon caught by P
Arthur Fant. This makes the fourth catch of this season by '
Fant, which weighed 76 pounds and was caught off the 21st
street fishing pier in Galveston.—(NEA Photo.)

Marshal Erwin Rommel, for in-

Egypt which the British have not

favor for a dr've to Suez.

Dieppe Raid
LONDON, Aug. 24 — (TP)—
The British press reported today
chat Lieut. Do iglas Fairbanks,
Jr., participated in the Dieppe
commando raid.
The newspapers said Fairbanks
had messaged friends in Holly-
wood that he was “back safely
after a thrilling experience.”
It was recalled that a dis-
patch from one newspaper cor-
respondent who accompanied the
raiders said that the captain of
one of the tank-landing craft was
a former film actor but did not
give his name.

never was concerned about the
truth, but he answered almost
every question.
He was the one who presented
the colorful Nazi version’ of the
flight of Rudolf Hess to Sotlond
in May, 1941. Higher officials
undoubtedly laid down the main
propaganda lines for the Hess
case, but it was the little nro-
fessor who provided the r» al
quotations and statements.
Boehmer apparently cleared his
name by dying at the front, be-
cause Germany made no mention
of his disgrace in announcing his

Separate Army
Is Established
LONDON, Aug. 24. (UP) —
Great Britain in its second major
move since Prime Minister Wins-
ton Churchill’s return from Mos-
cow announced today the estab-
lishment of an independent army
for Iran and Iraq south of the
Russian Caucasus.
Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wil-
son, regarded as one of Britain’s
most brillian field leaders, was
made commander in chief of the
new arm, which had been included
in the Middle East command.
Now the British Imperial forces
have three separate independent
commands, in India, Iran-Syria
and the Middle East. This in-
cludes the vast zone which extends
from the Egyptian desert, where
the Germans and Italians are fac-
ing the Imperial Eighth Army on
the Alamein line, to the Burma
frontier where the Japanese may
elect to attack India when the
rains end next month.
It was understood that the ap-
pointment of Wilson to his new
command was a part of a general
reorganization of British Imperial
forces in view of the threat of the
German drive through the Russian
Caucasus.
Last week Gen. Sir Harold R. L.
G. ‘Alexander was named to the
Middle Eastern command and Lt.
Gen. B .L. Montgomery was ap-
pointed commander of the Eighth
Army in Egypt under him.
Wilson had been commanding
the Ninth Army in Syria, as part
of the Middle Eastern command.

nier would be sentenced to death.
Goebbels reportedly also made
it possible for Boehmer later to
go to the east front probably as
a private that he might “clear his
name” by fighting for the father-
land. He died a first lieutenant.
“He’ll never come back,”* his
friends said at the time.
Boehmer, a stocky man with
thinning blond hair, was noted
for his love of women and wine.
Almost every night he could be
found at the Propaganda Minis-
try’s Foreign Press Club or a
night club. He invariably had an
attractive woman for a companion,
although not always the same one.
The professor also was fond
of gambling and often rolled dice
with foreign correspondents and
Propaganda Ministry officials un-
til early in the morning at the
press club. This often put minor
officials on the spot because they
did not think it wise to win from
their chief, but their salaries did
not permit heavy losses.

BY JACK FLEISCHER

Prof. Karl Boehmer, the Nazi
propagandist who took one drink
too many and tipped off the secret
of Germany’s impending attack
on Russia, has died in a hospital
in Cracow of wounds suffered on
the eastern front, the Berlin radio
announced today.
He had been one of the most
ambitious and able of Dr. Paul
Joseph Goebbels’ lieutenants, until
he fell into disgrace and was
thrown in jail in June, 1941.
Shortly before Germany invad-
ed Russia June 22, 1941, Boehmer
attended a reception at the Bul-
garian legation in Berlin. A
heavy drinker, he imbibed freely
at the reception and boasted to
the Bulgarian minister that “we
are invading Russia a week from
now.”
Although the attack had been
rumored for days, Nazi officials,
including Boehmer, previously had
insisted that German-Russian re-
lations remained satisfactory.
Boehmer’s slip of the tongue
caused a sensation. An official of
the foreign office who overheard
his remark immediately reported
it and Boehmer was arrested and
thrown into Moabit jail.
Several months later Boehmer
was found guilty by a people’s
court of “treason through negli-
gence” and was sentenced to two
years in prison.
Boehmer got off with this
comparatively light sentence be-
cause Goebbels personally inter-
vened and wrote a lengthy plea
asking clemency for his former
aide. Most Germans acquainted
with the case had expected Boeh-
Negroes Are Hurt
in Sunday Affray*
One negro was reported near
death in a local hospital today
as the result of a Sunday stab-
bing while another, shot twice
in the shoulder, had been dismiss-
ed.
Three negroes were held in con-
nection with the two affairs and
another was being sought by of-
ficers.
Sham Wright was stabbed
through the back, the knife-blade
entering his lung, in an affray
near the H. and O. tracks Sun-
day. Wright, according to offi-
cers, was trying to escape after
a fight with Bennie Howard when
he was stabbed. Howard was held
on an assault to murder charge.
Wright’s condition is serious.
Seymour Gibson was shot twice
in the shoulder as he fled from
three negroes who allegedly at-
tacked him and took his car
Sunday. Two men, Malton Alex-
ander and Sherman Coleman,
were held in the county jail. Of-
ficers are seeking R. M. Cole-
man, accused with them of an
assault with itent to murder.

If the Germans reach the Vol-

the important industrial center of
Stalingrad but the severance of
the great waterway, which is
such an important link in Rus-

materials of war from the Allies.

Post Criticizes
Weather Setup
HOUSTON, Aug. 24. (UP)—
The government should withdraw
its rule “against warning the
public” of the approach of tropical
hurricanes, the Houston Post said
editorially today.
Criticizing the weather bureau
for not having put out advance
notice of a 64-mile-an-hour trop-
ical disturbance which struck the
mainland near Port Arthur and
Beaumont Friday, the Post charg-
ed that "an all-out hurricane in
that populous area would have
caught thousands of people un-
awares and the story would have
been a sad one.”
The first warnings anyone had
of Friday’s storm was “the gusty
announcement of its howling
blasts,” the editorial said.

Ferguson waived his immunity
from military service to join the

He served the county as state

had been filling in as principal of

Ferguson’s wife and their young

Ferguson delayed his enlistment
