Defense Not Directed
Against Nazis, Says
Communist Paper
British and French Press
Accused of Attempt
To Prejudice Relations
By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July 5 —Pravda, Com
munist party organ, said today
Soviet defense preparations and the
actions of the Red Army in the
northwest, west and south were di
rected “against plans of the British
French war mongers” and were not
directed against Germany.
Pravda's comment was inspired by
publication in it and other Moscow
papers, including the government
paper Izvestia, of excerpts of al
leged French documents* in the
latest German white book pur
porting to show plans to attack
Russia's oil fields.
Izvestia said in part:
“These documents prove once
more how justified was the Soviet
Union when it based its foreign
policy on efforts to strengthen its
defense in the north and south
and to strengthen its positions on
the frontiers with Finland, the
Baltic states, Rumania. Turkey, etc.
“The British and French press
never ceased and are not ceasing
to circulate rumors to the effect
that measures of the U. S. S. R
in Finland, the Baltic states and on
the western frontiers constitute a
'menace to Germany.’ The purpose
Of these provocators is clear:
“First, they futilely attempt to
prejudice German-Soviet relations
clearly and solidly defined by
treaties existing between the U. S.
S. R. and Germany:
"Second, this slander is to serve
as a smokescreen for anti-Soviet
machinations by the authors of
these rumors themselves.
"The documents of the sixth white
book show with full clarity how wise
and timely were the defense meas
ures of the U. S. S. R. aimed to
thwart anti-Soviet plans of the
British-French imperialists."
Pravda, in the same vein, said
Soviet measures were not directed
against Germany.
Germany Accuses Allies
Of Oil Sabotage Plot
BERLIN, July 5 (£*).—Germany
published today three more alleged
French documents of the new Nazi
“White Book” purporting to show
that the Allies had planned to de
stroy Soviet Russian oil fields this
summer to further the war on Ger
many.
Seven previous alleged documents.
Which the official German news
agency, DNB, said were seized by
German troops in France, were de
clared to have shown that the Allies
planned to cut off the Reich’s ore
and oil sources and entangle neu
trals in the war.
Daladier Note Revealed.
The first of three issued yesterday
was described as a hand-written
note by former French Premier
Edouard Daladier, dated January
19, requesting Generalissimo Mau
rice Gamelin and Admiral Jean
Darlan to "compose a memorandum
about possible intervention for de
struction of Russian oil fields.”
Another alleged document dealt
with French and British air forces
and reported their general staffs in
accord, as of April 5, on a joint oper
ation against Russia’s Batum and
Baku oil refineries and port facilities
In the Caucasus.
Date for Attack Set.
The third of this series and the
ninth alleged document thus far
published embraces a letter sup
posedly sent by Generalissimo Max
lme Weygand to Gen. Gamelin and
Air Force Gen. Vuillemin April 17
acheduling operations to begin at
the end of June or early in July.
Later the Germans appended four
more documents purported to be
telegrams from Gen. Gamelin to
British Prime Minister Churchill
during the early days of the Nazi
drive through the West, urging im
mediate dispatch of 10 British air
squadrons to relieve pressure on the
Allied armies.
Father Slays Daughter,
Shoots Self, in Convent
By the Associated Press.
VALHALLA, N. Y„ July 5.—Jo
•eph Moshell, 47, wounded and still
In his American Legion uniform,
, was held today on charges of first
degree murder in the slaying of his
daughter Melba, 15, before the hor
rified gaze of the sister superior in
the Episcopal Convent of St. Mary's
in the Field.
State troopers, who found Moshell
on the floor of the convent room
yesterday with a self-inflicted bul
let over his heart but still conscious,
said he operated a chain of three
dry-cleaning establishments in Phil
adelphia.
Sergt. John A. Gafney of the
troopers said Moshell entered the
convent with a box of candy, asked
for his daughter and when she en
tered the room drew his revolver.
Sergt. Gafney said Moshell then shot
her through the heart and right side
and turned the gun on himself, while
the sister superior. Sister Celestine,
fled to call the police.
Troopers said that the girl was
committed by Juvenile Court to an
institution in Philadelphia and re
moved on June 6 to the convent
when she complained that her fa
ther was “pestering” her. They
said the father had insisted in fre
quent telephone calls that the girl
return to Philadelphia and that she
had refused.
