Leningrad Braces for
Onslaught of Germans
(Continued from page 1)
toward Leningrad from the south
had captured the ancient walled
city of Novgorod, 100 miles be
low Leningrad, In bitter fighting
against the red army defenders.
In the critical battle of Lenin
grad, soviet Marshal Voroshllov
admitted that the Germans were
attacking the city's approaches
and dramatically called on the
Inhabitants to fight to the death.
"Stand firm to the end," he ex
horted. "Death to the bloody fas
cist German robbers!"
The Berlin radio, reporting
the swift fall of Novgorod, also
claimed the capture of Narva, 81
miles southwest of Leningrad,
and Kinglsepp, the rail gate to
Leningrad, 25 miles farther east.
This would place the Germans In
that sector within 5t miles ot
Leningrad.
In the critical battle of the
Ukraine, the Germans reported
their seizure of the strategic
town of Kherson, on the west
bank of the lower Dnieper river,
thereby virtually sealing red
army troops in the Odessa sector.
Great Dam Blown Up.
DNB, the official German
news agency, said nazl siege
guns and Stuka dive-bombers
were raining havoc on Odessa, in
flicting tremendous losses on so
velt troops awaiting embarkation
on jammed quays. Great fires
were reported raging in many
parts of the city.
Amid this desperate plight of
the red armies in the Ukraine,
unconfirmed reports circulated In
European listening posts that the
Russians had opened or blown up
the great $100,000,000 Dnieper
river dam, near Dnleperopetrovsk,
In an attempt to stem the nazl
onslaught.
Built by American engineers,
the dam Is 200 feet high and was
the world's largest hydroelectric
plant before the construction of
Boulder dam.
Nazis Score Big Victory.
Besides claiming the capture of
three key cities In the main Len
ingrad defense ring. Hitler's high
command announced the "crush-
Ing defeat" and partial destruc
tion of 25 Russian divisions
about 375,000 troops as well as
two nir-borne brigades In a great
battle around Gomel, on the cen
tral front, midway between
Smolensk and Kiev.
The Germans said red army
prisoners taken In the battle had
mounted to 81,000.
Reports from Helsinki said Fin
nish columns fighting on the
Karelian Isthmus had captured
the towns of Vuoksenranta and
Raisala, 65 miles from Leningrad.
The capital of old imperial Rus
sia thus was under assault from
three directions.
Turkey Now Threatened.
An axis threat to Turkey and
the Turkish-controlled Dardan
elles was reported by foreign dip
lomatic sources in Ankara.
These sources said advance
units of two nazl army divisions
had arrived in Bulgaria, Italian
patrols had been scouting the
Turkish-Greek border, and Italian
garrisons on Greek Islands near
the Dardanelles had been
strengthened.
There was little overnight ac
tion In the air war In the west.
The British said a few German
planes dropped bombs in East
Anglia, but did little damage.
The Germans acknowledged
that soviet bombers had entered
northern Germany, but minimiz
ed the results of those attacks
and mentioned no British raids.

Aluminum Output
Of U.S. Soon To

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 21-(AP)
The Aluminum Company of
America, stepping up Its effort
for national defense, with the aid
of $52,000,000 worth of new
plants Just allowed it by the gov
ernment, expects to bo outpro
ducing Germany within a short
time.
uisciusing uie company s em
ployment has Jumped from 25,

began to 50,000 and that its pro-

"Our only bottleneck now
lack of power and ships to bring
bauxite (aluminum ore) from
South America."
Louis Marllo, economist of the
Brookings institute, estimated
some time ago that America's
projected aluminum output of 1..
ouo.ooo.iXK) pounds a year ago will
give the Anglo-American nations
twice the capacity of German v
ann tne countries it now controls.
ALCOA s alone would equal Cor
many's It was said.
Announcement the government
had obtained a two cents a
pound cut in aluminum prices In
connection with a $100,000,000
program to. expand production of
the metal for airplanes was made
In Washington yesterday bv
Jesse H. Jones, federal loan administrator.
The reduction, bringing the
price of raw aluminum from 17
cents to 15 cents a pound and cut.
ting all other types of metal at
least two cents a pound, will Rave
the government about $15,000,000
annually, Jones estimated.
The company spokesman said
about one-half of the Bauxite now
being used has been Imnorted, the
company conserving its biggest
domestic supply in Arkansas as
reserve In event of a bigger emer
gency. Ho estimated there was
enough In Arkansas to supply the
company for eight years.
Exact sites of new plants have
not been decided but the com
pany will build one In Arkansas
to make 400,000,000 pounds of
alumina, an Intermediate m-oduct

er near Bonneville dam, Portland,
Ore., 90,000,000 pounds and one
In Arkansas of 100.000,000 pounds.
In addition, Jones said he was
negotiating to finance construc

That's why our subterranean spring water
makes Olympia Beer different and better
Surely you have noticed the difference in water some
makes better tea and coffee than others. Water may be too
hard or too soft, too acid or too alkaline. Others are
chemically purified or chlorinated. All these interfere
with normal brewing processes and affect the ultimate
character of the beer.
The perfection in qualify of Olympia Beer is due not
alone to premium quality ingredients, but to the rare
waters of our subterranean springs, famed fox their
natural punry and brewing qualities.
It's the Water9
-that makes Olympia Beer Different and Better?
