The former Wisconsin governor, speaking at an America First com mittee rally last night, declared that impeachment charges against the two should be that they are seeking to violate the Constitutional guaran tee that the naion canno be taken into armed conflict except by a vote of Congress. “If this nation," he said, “is taken into war by some smart alecky program of aid short of war, by trickery, I give warning that those like me, who plead for tolerance, will be as straws in the wind.” National Anthem Halts Fidler Vs. Flynn Fracas ■----- . ★-—------— HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 21.—(/P) —Playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by an orchestra halted a brief but spirited fisticuff in a night club early today involving Actor Errol Flynn, Jimmie Fid ler, movie writer, and the lat ter’s wife, Bobbie. When the National Anthem began, all three stood at atten tion and afterward were separat ed. The crowd cheered. No damage was done with the exception of a alight gouge in the ear Flynn claims he received from a fork. “I didn’t mind Mrs. Fidler jab bing me with the fork,” said Flynn, “but she made the very grave social error of using the wrong fork.” Varying accounts of the af fray were given by Flynn and Fidler. “Fidler has told one too many Nazis Hint Stem Acts In France x Marshal Petain Pleads For ;r. Cessation Of Ger QuO man Attacks KiiRii' b SOCENTS AFFECTED W: — Reich Army Will Police Country Unless Sabo tage, Shootings End VICHY, Sept. 21.—(#)—German machine-guns, troops and armored cars will move in against any or ganized attempt to foment revolu tion in occupied France, authorized sources from Paris said tonight Marshal Petain had just begged Frenchmen to quit attacks on Ger mans to save all conquered France from reprisals. The Paris sources said the re prisal shootings of hostages and other executions, which up to now have claimed 35 lives, would be “a mere drop in the bucket to what may happen if sabotage and terrorism continues.” In a broadcast condemning the assaults on German army men, Marshal Petain declared: “These attacks are criminal. They may lead to new troubles. “They must be blamed on for eign agents, because it is not in French tradition to attack soldiers in the dark while they are doing their duty.” The authoritative sources from Paris said that despite demands of the eastern front there were still enough German soldiers to enforce peace in occupied France, “even if the French don’t want to keep it themselves.” France’s chief of state declared his government was seeking out the guilty “by all means at its disposal’ a,nd urged particularly that the residents of the German occupied zone help save French unity by preserving order. That, he asserted, was their great responsibility to their father land. If such attacks continued, the old marshal said, German repris als “despite my efforts, may hit innocents.’’ ROODS CUT OFF ALBUQUERQUE GAS Rivers Rise As Torrential Rains Strike Southwest; Some Feared Drowned ALBUQUERQUE, Sept. 21.—MB— Albuquerque’s 70,000 residents struggled through a storm-enforced gasless Sunday, deprived of natu ral gas for heating and cooking as a result of a washout which shattered the city’s main pipeline.

They sailed yesterday with cargoes for American bases at Bermuda and Trinidad. The ships were seized after the union refused to arbitrate the bonus dispute with shipowners.

MOVIES PROBE SHOWDOWN NEAR Senate Audit Committee May Not Approve Ex penses Of Quiz WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—(A>)— Controversy within the Senate over the investigation of the movies ap proached a step nearer a show down today when Chairman Clark (D.-Idaho) signed vouchers for $552.04 in expenditures by the Sen ate Interstate Commerce subcom mittee inquiring into alleged war propaganda. Clark said the vouchers would be submitted to the Senate audit and control committee, headed by Senator Lucas (D.-Ill.). Lucas an nounced yesterday that he would not approve any expenditures until he was informed how long the in quiry was going to be carried on and how much would be spent. Wendell L.

Control over the whole Turkish held gateway from the Mediter ranean into the Black sea—the Dar danelles, Sea of Marmara and Bos porus—was seen as necessary to Hitler’s plan of dominating the Black sea area, these sources said. Accompanying or subsequent steps, they said, would necessarily be conquest of Odessa and Seva stopol and destruction of Russia’s Black sea fleet. Behind these immediate objec tives, it was said, is Hitler’s major goal—the rich Caucasian oil fields. Some quarters said that the Ger Russians Admit Kiev Abandoned; Nazis Sweep On MOSCOW, Monday, Sept. 22.—(^—Abandonment of Kiev, bitterly defended capital of the Ukraine and Russia’s third largest city, was acknowledge officially by the Rus sians today. Known as “the mother of the Russias,” this city of 846,000 population was the first major prize to fall to the Germans in three months of fighting. Today’s early morning commu-’ nique, devoting one sentence to the retreat from the Ukrainian city, said only: “After many days of fierce fight ing, our troops evacuated Kiev. ' The Germans had announced Kiev’s capture last Friday through a “perfect example of blitzkrieg’’ embodying all the weapons in the Nazi arsenal, but as late as yester day, the Russians said a life-and death struggle still was being waged there. Offsetting somewhat the loss of this important city were reports that the Red army had recaptured 32 villages and driven the Ger mans from a strongly fortified line in a central front counter-attack and were inflicting enormous loss es upon Germans blasting at the defenders of Leningrad. Fury of luftwaffe assaults was emphasized by the Soviet com munique which told of the destruc tion of 60 German planes in Sat urday’s fighting alone. In the Gulf of Finland, the Soviet information bureau leported the Finnish coastal defense warship Ilmarinen, 3,900 tons, struck mines during an attack and sank. In abandoning Kiev, Marshal Semeon Budyenny’s Ukrainian ar mies apparently fell back to new positions to reorganize 'for a de fense against an apparent German thrust against Kharkov, the great est city of the rich Donets area.
