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.

Wants Bases In Siberia
.Senator Walljjren '( I Vi',r-h. !
said today thai the slate depart
ment should undertake ncgollu
lions wllh Russia for the acquisi
tion of military bases in Siberia.
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."
The Washington senator said
I hut it was only a short bomber

have an outpost which would pre

Closed Shop Demanded
About 4,000 men were thrown
out of work when the CIO Unit
ed Mine Workers called a strike
v. hlrh closed six large Alabama
coal mines, and 800 more be
came Idle when the UMW chemi
c.il division struck last night,
closing four blast furnaces of the
Sloss-Sheffieid Steel and Iron
company at Birmingham.
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. The union reported
that the company had offered n
five-cent general increase and a
lucent boost in minimum pay.
