Soviet dispatches, however, de
clared that Russian counter-attacks
had Inflicted bloody losses
on the Germans In at least two
salients in the battle-scarred
7ones of Vyazma, 125 miles west
of Moscow, and Bryansk, 220
miles southwest of Moscow.
"The fascist command has
thrown into battle considerable
forces of aviation, armored troops
and Infantry," Red Star reported.
"The fierce battle Is raging un
reaslngly day and night."
Soviet Units Said Trapped
In a special bulletin, Hitler's
field headquarters announced:
"While offensive and pursuit
operations In the Ukraine are in
full swing, a breach on the cent
ral (Moscow) front begun Oct. 2
has led to a new and vast series
of battles of annihilation.
"In the Vyazma area alone, sev

nnd their destruction Is proceed

It was tho first time tho nazl
high command had mentioned the
Vastsnew onslaught towgra' Mos
cow, heralded last ''Friday by
Ttcichsfuerhr.er Hitler's announce

um on tho eastern front.
Soviet front line dispatches said
the Germans were "shifting from
side to side" when blocked, stab
. blng to discover any soft spots In
I he Russian defense line.
"Thus In one sector," Red Star
reported, "a large German tank
i column tried several times to
break through our defenses, but
' nil attempts failed.
"Then they retreated nnd drove
In a different direction, making
a wedge In our position. Fighters
-of one detachment engaged the
1 tank column. The Germans lost
more than 1,000 killed. Our units
,' destroyed 65 tanks."
Nazi Losses "Enormous"
Red Star said the Germans
Were suffering "enormous losses"
for every step gained In the twin
drives In tho Vyazama area,
Where the Russians stemmed an
parllcr nazl thrust in mid-summer,
and from the Bryansk zone.
Soviet tanks and warplanes in
B single sector were credited with
destroying 133 tanks, 50 motor
cycles, 10 nrmofed cars and 250
' truckloads of Infantry In a 48
hour period.
On the southern '(Ukraine)
front, Marshal Budyenny's armies
counter-attacking from the Don
Ms river basin toward the Pere
Jcop Isthmus, gnteway to the
Crimea, were reimrted In danger
of encirclement by the German
drive to Mariupol.
British military quarters said
that If the Germans were able to
maintain themselves on a 130
mile line between Mariupol and
the Dnieper river city of npo
rozhe, the red army units could
pscape only "by forcing their way
Into the Crimea . . . overcoming
German forces attacking there."
Japs Extend Peace Bid
Meanwhile, Germany's axis
partner, Japan sent up a new
trlat balloon for peace In the
Russo-German war.
Domel, the official Japanese
news agency, urged the western
axis powers to end the soviet
' campaign to conserve manpower
. and equipment for an all-out as
sault on Great Britain.
Voicing the tear that Germany
would exhaust her strength In
Russia, leaving Japan alone to
face the hostility of Britain and
perhaps the United States, Domel
declared that the Russo-German
war was started to prevent any
threat to the German rear and

to $1,750 monthly for office and
secretarial hire.
In 1936 he described a speech
by Hitler as a challenge to peace
and not to war and declared
there was no reason for the
world to get excited because Ger
many had decided to take pos
session of her own territory. Just
before the present war was de
clared he described the Rome
Berlin axis as the backbone of
the world.
In 1940 he resigned from the
Overseas Press club of America
at the request of the organiza
tion. The indictment, returned yes
terday in federal district court at
Washington, said Viereck had
consulted with "divers persons"
on matters pertaining to politi
cal interests and public policy
and public relations, and had pre
pared and disseminated speeches
relating to those matters which
were printed in books and the
congressional record and broad
cast on the radio.
There are five counts In the In
dictment, on each of which a
penalty of one year in prison and
a $2,000 fine could be imposed
upon conviction.
Serious Menace To U. S.
At his arraignment before U.
S. Commissioner Piatt this after
noon, Viereck was held in $20,000
bail pending his removal to Wash
ington to plead to the indictment.
At the proceedings, Viereck
was described by Special Assist
ant Attorney General Maloncy as
one of the most serious menaces
in this country. He has received
from the German government as
much as $40,000 In one year to
carry on his propaganda work."

2. While lend-lease officials are
dissatisfied with the "relatively

to increase greatly soon upon
completion of the time-consuming
initial productions.

less acute and Indeed, If anything,
is sharper" than heretofore.
5. General George C. Marshall,
army chief of staff, believes that
there should be no tampering or
delay with the lend-lease pro
gram, asserting that "the British
suffer today and risked their na

lays."
6. There are no plans for re
duction of the army or for sus
pension of the draft program-
either of which, officials said,
would be "tragic."
7. Officials repeatedly asserted
that it would be "dangerous" to
deny to Russia the benefits of the
lend-lease program, even though
such aid Is not now contemplated.

Rising Farm Prices
Expected to Slash
Benefit Payments
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. (AP)
With farm products bringing
the highest prices since 1930 and
still advancing, agriculture de
partment officials said today that
the administration should be in
a position to make a sizable cut
in its budget for 1942 crop bene
fit payments.
Indications were that the cut
might exceed $200,000,000, or
more than one-fourth of the cost
of the present benefit program.
Agricultural prices are nearly
45 per cent higher than a year
ago. Departmental economists
predict further advances this
winter and next spring. Because
of the higher prices and pros
pects for the largest food de
mand in history, the department
forecasts that farm income may
approach $13,000,000,000 next
year.
An income of this size would
be the largest since 1920 and 52,
000,000,000 above the estimate for
this year.
Congress appropriated about
$760,000,000 for farm benefit pay
ments for 1941 crops, including
$500,qoo,000 for cooperation with
soil conservation programs, $48,-

Two thoughts stood solemn sentinel
throughout all the planning of our
1942 cars.
The first was: - in their materials these
cars must not trespass on the current

The second was: - in their quality and
performance they must not be an
"ersats" product.
If you think this leaves only a cramped
and stifling 4yway for engineering to
advance in, remember that difficulties
arc sometimes the spur that real ability

Farm officials said that the

$100,000,000 in parity payments
and possibly the elimination of

Missing Tot Found O. K.
After Night in Marsh
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich., Oct.
8. (AP) Dennis Ludlow, 21-year-old
boy missing since late
yesterday, was found today, alive
and well, wandering in a marsh
about a mile from his home.
The bay was found by Alfred
Hinckley, one of 1,200 students
who had been dismissed from
school to aid in the search.
Clad in a snug snow suit, cap
and muffler, the child appeared
in good health,' despite his night
in the marsh with the tempera
ture in the thirties.
The child disappeared from
the front of his home at 5:30
p. m. yesterday with his bulldog
"Dido." The dog returned home
later In the evening but no trace
was found of the child during
tho night despite a search by

Merchant Ship Arming
(Continued from page 1)
sible that the senate foreign rela

broadening the measure to elimi
nate the restrictions on ship move

Senator Barkley of Kentucky,
the majority leader, told report
ers he could not say in advance
what the message would contain
or whether it would seek both the
arming of merchant ships and al
lowing them to touch belligerent
ports immediately.
He said, however, that the arm
Ing of merchant vessels, now pro
hibited by section 6 of the act,
would be the least drastic change
that might be made.
"The arming of ships, as a mat
ter of timing," he said, "might
be the most urgent."
Barkley said he personally fav
ored repealing both sections
which would permit the arming
of ships and their travel to desig
nated combat zones and belliger
