Germans Checked at Approaches of Moscow (Continued trom page 1) tiffed as commander In chief of c the Russian DOlh nrmy nnd a mpmber of the supreme soviet council, had bppn found dead on the battlpfipld past of Bryansk, 200 miles south of Moscow. In the north, German military dispatches reported that Red army troops counter-attacking around Lake Ladojja, near Len Ingrad, had suffered heavy losses. The Germans acknowl edged, however, that thp soviet Counter blows had been launch ed on a broad scale with great ferocity. Moscow Defense Stubborn ., Tass, the official soviet news agency, said Russian troops had driven back a new German thrust toward Moscow from the southwest but conceded that the nazis had advanced several kilo meters from Mohaisk, 57 miles west of the capital. The advance was blocked, Tass said, after a terrific tank battle at a crossroads on the Mozhaisk- Moscow' highway, the route fol lowed by Napoleon on his-ill-fated march to Moscow in 1812. "The Germans left hundreds of dead and many damaged and burned tanks on the battlefield," Tass reported. . Inside Moscow, Red workers pledged themselves to "fight to the last drop of blood." A Mos cow radio broadcast said throe factory workers had been sen tenced to death for "spreading panic and looting." Others were Imprisoned. Last-Ditch Defense Planned Preparations for a last-ditch defense were further Illustrated . by reports that IJcut.-Gon. Arte mlev, commander of Moscow garrisons, was using thousands of men, women and even chil dren to throw a ring of fortifica tions around the capital, includ ing anti-tank ditches and machine-pun nests. London military experts es timated the Germans had 50 di visionsabout 750.000 men and 4.000 tanks to fight on after a short breathing spell on the cen tral front. - While German dispatches from the front were devoted mainly to the southern flank, however, Dlent Aus Deutschland said that mention of attacks on strongly-fortified lines In the central zone had occurred so fre quently latelv It could be as sumed that fightlne actually was going on within "Moscow's forti fication zone." The soviet Information bureau said that Mozhaisk. 57 miles west of Moscow, and Maloyaro slavets, 65 miles southwest, were the scenes of particularly-stubborn fighting yesterday. London observers declared that, regardless of whether the Germans shifted offensive strength temporarily, the main effort could not long be diverted from Moscow. ,They said a winter stalemate would have the effect of a Ger man defeat. At the samo time It was pointed out that the Rus sians would experience hardships In withdrawing heavy war equipment to tho Interior once snows became deep. The Volga probably would form the next defense line. The new war-lime capital of Russia apparently is Kuibyshev, a manufacturing center on the east bank of the Volga 550 miles east and slightly south of Mos cow. Tho United States embassy has been established there with tho arrival of Ambassador Lau rence A. Stelnhardt and a group of American newspaper corre spondents. RAF, Nazis Trade Blows Britain nnd Germany exchang ed aerial blows overnight and each nation acknowledged cas ualties. Royal Air Force bombers, grounded by bad weather for three nights, reopened their of fensive with attacks on Rremen and other centers of northwest Germany. It was the 86th British raid on Bremen, a German port and the site of extensive ship yards. Wilhelmshaven and Emden al so were listed among targets of the British force, authoritatively described as "a strong one United States army officers and several hundred civilian techni cians who said they came over to "do a Job in (northern) Ire land," where others from the United States have been em ployed for some months. At spa, thp German high com mand reported that nazi U-boats had sunk sevon ships aggregat ing 38,200 tons, making a three- day total of 08,200 tons sent to the bottom of the North Atlan tic. Authoritative quarters in Lon don acknowledged that the Ger man underseas campaign was continuing with undiminished fury, but declared that "with the Invaluable support given us by tho American navy, we do have reason for confidence." Thailand Warning Reissued Tho foreign office-controlled Japan Times and Advertiser re newed charges that anti-axis ele ments in Thailand were trying to stir up opposition against Ja pan's plan for a new "co-prosperity sphere In East Asia." The newspaper asserted that plotters were attempting to wreck Thailand's friendly rela tions with Japan and suggested that "Japanese assistance" to Thailand "would be a helpful move without any purpose of threatening any surrounding countries. But Great Britain, with thou sands of troops massed on Thai land's borders in Malaya and Burma, again made it clear that any Japanese Incursion Into Thailand would cause tho grav est repercussions. Authoritative quarters In Lon don rated the Japanese navy as "very powerful, efficient and well-manned," but declared many of the ships "look over burdened with armament" and that the fleet was "exlremelv susceptible to economic blockade." These ouarters warned that Japanese occupation of Thailand would he a direct threat" to British Malaya nnd Singapore. Six Months' Tax Bill For Douglas Drawn (Continued from page iS nendllure of f 1,15,000, but for the first six months of 1942 the com mittee has recommended S104.870, of which $138,420 will be raised by taxation. Price Increases Heeded. The committee took into con sideration the fact that all mate rials, particularly machinery, have risen greatly in price. The budget also takes Into considera tion the fact that the malor por tion of road construction and heavy road costs come In the spring of the year. It further was the opinion that the county will be required to spend large sums on roads which will be used to open up timber stands, and over which there will be a great deal of heavy truck traffic. The budget will be published In the near future, prior to a public hearing, the dale for which has been set for Nov. 22, at which time any interested persons will have an opportunity to appear and offer recommendations for changes. Repeal of Neutrality Act Urged by Secy. Hull (Continued from page 1) tacked with complete disregard of life and property," the secre tary said, "it is absurd to forego any legitimate measures that may be helpful toward self de fense. It is especially absurd to continue to tie our hand by a pro vision of law which prohibits arming our merchant vessels for their own defense." It would be "Utile short of crl-1 mmal negligence, for the United States to cling to the hope of somehow escaping the fale of oili er countries, ho testified. Aid to Russia Pondered The urgency of getting arms to Russia - ln quantity nnd in time stood foremost today among internationally totichv problems which required the consideration of President Roosevelt upon his return to the capital from a week end visit to his home at Ilvde more than sevon times the slze'Park, of the German force operating against this country last night." Loss of nine bombers was ack nowledged. Informed Germans said a 10.-000-ton merchant ship was sunk and another 10.000-ton vessel was damaged badly In an attack upon a British convoy off Hull and that Liverpool and east coast harbors also were raided. It was acknowledged that sev eral places in northwestern Gir manv were hit. Britons reported that German offensive thrusts were directed against North Wales and Mersy side, the port and shipbuilding area of Liverpool. More Volunteers From U. S. Boosting the rolls of empire troops in Britain, thousands of fresh Canadians - augmented hv mnnv volunteers from the Unit ed States scattered to training camps in various parts of the is lands today after debarking from naval-escorted transports which carried them safely across the Atlantic. .With them were a fjrourj oil Russian aid figured directly or Stock and Bond Averages Complied bv Associated Press October 21, 1941.

Wullgren told reporters the bases "could be used to protect us against any Japanese move against this country and, if Ger many should win out In Russia, to protect us against the nazis."

A union leader ascribed the mine walkouts to "the long de lay In negotiations for a new contract," and William H. Ivey, Alabama state labor commis sioner, said the strike at Sloss Sheffield hinged on the union's demand for a closed shop con tract. . . Wage Boosts at Issue The CIO miners, whose basic pay ivas raised last May by SI. to $5.50 a day, now are asking 40 cents more dally, vacation pay and a change in the methods of computing weight loss through washing operations. Thomas M. Finn, U. S. con ciliator, arranged a conference today between representatives of the CIO United Automobile Workers and the management of the Bell Aircraft corporation, which operates warplane fac tories at Buffalo and Niagara Fails. The union, which claims as members 90 per cent of the firm's 10,500 workers, has au thorized a strike but has agreed to withhold action pending ef forts to arbitrate. The union has demanded a blanket wage Increase of 20 cents an hour, a hike In the minimum pay from 50 to 75 cents an hour, a union shop and the check off system.
