Traitor Sfephan To Die Tomorrow Milan, July 1 (U.R) Unless President Roosevelt Intervenes, Max Stephan, an obscure 51-year-old Detroit innkeeper, dies on the gallows before dawn tomorrow a traitor to the United States, his adopted country. With every legal recourse exhausted, only an 11th hour Presidential reprieve can save the stocky one-time corporal in the German army from being the first person executed under the 153-year-old Federal treason statute. Although Stephan and his lawyers still held hope that executive clemency would be forthcoming, arrangements for the execution-Michigan's second lit 113 years proceeded. Weary and distraught, Stephan, convicted last July 2 of aiding the escape of a Nazi prisoner of war, disconsolately paced his cell in the red brick Federal Correctional Institute here. Although he refused to abandon hope, he had lost mast of the bravado which a year ago prompted him to say: "They'll never hang me!"

Transit relief for the 2.500 real-dent of Bayswater, who have had to get along without bus service since the Oreen Bus Line shut down Its Bayswater route In May, was promised at the conclusion of hearing before the Public Service Commission today. The hearing was held on the initiative of the commission to investigate the mis company's violation of Its franchise in stopping operation.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme Allied commander in North Africa, personally Intervened in the French situation to ask that Gen. Henri Honore Giraud be retained as French military commander to avoid impeding the war effort, Prime Minister Churchill revealed today. Speaking In Commons, Churchill said Kisenhuwei request was backed by the authority of both the United States and British Governments and was made solely on military and not on political grounds. The British Government, Churchill said, had not taken sides in the French political arguments, adding in a Berlin broadcast reported from the Spanish border town of La Linea that 25 Allied merchant ships and at least eight large landing barges, all heavily laden with war material, left Gibraltar yesterday during a day of "feverish activity" and steamed eastward.

A smaller convoy put into Gibraltar from the Atlantic, the broadcast said. Still anchored there, it asserted, were the British battleships Nelson and Rodney, the aircraft carrier Formidable and 12 British and two French destroyers. A large fire broke out in oil dumps near a quay and arsenal at Gibraltar but was controlled after two hours, the broadcast added. Duke and Duchess Arrive in Bahamas Mjami.

I. MAN HELD AS NAZI AGENT BROUGHT HERE Orgell, German Born, Lived Near Two Confessed Spies A United States marshal In Manhattan has taken German-born Carl Guenther Boshan Orgell Into custody today, it was reported by the local FBI office. Orgell, who lives at 58 Keegan's Lane, Great Kill, Staten Island, not far from the homes of the confessed spies, Ernest Frederick Lehmitz and Er-win Harry De Spretter. was indicted yesterday by a Federal grand Jury in Washington. The action, separate from the case against Lehmitz and De Spretter, was for failure to register properly as a foreign agent.

The indictment charged that Orgell failed to disclose that he acted in behalf of the German Foreign Office and the Nazi party when he registered wiih the State Department. He named, at that time, the Volksbund fuer das Deutsch-tum in Ausland the People's League for Germanism Abroad) and identified it as a "private membership society whose activities were; non-political and not of a propafeanda nature." But, according to the Indictment, the society was actually a propaganda agency -for the German Government and the Nazi party. The Justice Department said that Orgell's activities included recruiting members for the society, who later received propaganda material from Germany. Came Here In 1923 In September, 1940, he told a re i porter mat ne had severed all his i connections with the society In 1939, at the outbreak of the cur- try In 1923 when he was 23 and became a naturalized citizen eight years later. Orgell, in his interview with the reporter, said that the V.

D. A. society was a 58-year-old group formed in Berlin and Vienna as a German school society, and he characterized it as a philanthropic organization. He said that the organization supplied German language textbooks for various groups here, and that his work for it consisted of distributing these books and correspondence for the society's six periodicals. As a correspondent he wrote to Germany about German settlem'nl throughout this country.

He insisted that the organization had nothing to do with politics.

Jf i i can keep Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones In the Cabinet If Vice President Henry A.

Wallace remains as chairman of the Board of Ecomonic Warfare. White House efforts to compose their differences backfired last night In new bitterness and Jones' insistent demand for a Congressional investigation. Wallace had charged lilm, as head of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, with obstructing the BEW's war effort. Peace efforts failed after office of war mobilization director James F. Byrnes brought the two men together at the White Hou.se.

The alternative to a Congressional investigation appears to be personal intervention by President Roosevelt and the elimination of one or the other of the disputants from direct war responsibility. New Peace Move Seen But there may be another effort to get the pair together. A Congressional investigation might be politically bad for the Administration. It certanly would be disconcerting to the public and it scarcely could give the war effort any Impetus. Washington Is accustomed to public wrangling among high officials, but it has not before seen the like of the Jones-Wallace set-to.

A reliable ringside account of the meeting between Jones and Wallace before Byrnes represented the Vice President as affably polite and Jones hotly indignant. Byrnes is understood to have hoped to avoid a Con-pressional investigation which would give sharp-shooting Republcians a couple of sitting-duck Administration targets. But Jones insisted that he would answer Wallace publicly and in detail, asserting that he had evidence which would confute Wallace's charges. Both Wallace and Byrnes were understood to have asked Jones not to issue a proposed statement but failed. Jones Hits Back Jones evidently was astonished to learn that Wallace, and not Byrnes, had been nominated to advise the public of the peace parlays.

After reading Wallace's post-conference statement, Jones fired off a two-paragraph blast that seemed to end all truce hopes and to mark as a failure Byrnes' first major effort to umpire a big-time policy dispute. Wallace said he and Jones had agreed thai for the time being the RFC would continue to finance the BEW. Wallace continued to explain that he had not meant in his public statement to reflect on Jones' patriotism or on his personal motives but had "intended to assert that the delays in the RFC in acting upon projects had delayed the war effort." Any truce that may have existed ceased to be when Jones heard about that. Jones replied: "Mr. Wallare, in his statement tonight, repeats that delays of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation have retarded the war effort.

This dastardly charge is untrue as when he first made it. "As for the rest of his statement. Mr-. Wallace was not authorized to speak for me. I will continue to speak for myself, and.

as previously stated, I shall insist upon a Congressional investigation." FEET HURT?
