SIX RQSEBUR'S NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG', OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER" 9, VPfT," Nazis SmasK Through j Crimea Peninsula It '(Continued from pape 1) ha begun," It added. Aside Irom the Sevastopol base, the Crimea Is strategically Important for two other reasons: 1. Its eastern extremity guards the narrow strait Into the sea of Azov. 2. Troops crossing the strait would have a short-cut route Into the Caucasus. Although Sevastopol la Rus sia's main naval base on the Black sea, authoritative London quarters said its capture would not be disastrous to the soviet fleet. Baso facilities could be transferred across the sea to Batumi or Novorossisk, on the Caucasian mainland. Moscow Thrust Weaker. - On the bloody front before Mos cow, the Russians acknowledged the development of a menacing new thrust by the Germans to the vicinity of Volokolamsk, 72 miles northwest ol the soviet capital, about midway between Mozhaisk and Kalinin. Soviet front-line reports, how. ever, declared that the Germans had lost 60 per cent of their ef fectives in the past few days of savage fighting around Moscow and that it had become apparent the invaders would not take the city. A red army bulletin sold Gen eral Zhukhov's defense forces, under no-retreat orders, had re captured four villages northwest Of Moscow, Throughout the night, the so viet communique said, fighting raged In the familiar regions of Mozhaisk, 57 miles west of Mos cow. Maloyaroslavets, 65 miles southwest, and the new sector of Volokolamsk, t Bad weather conditions con tinued to hamper the movement of troons and vehicles struggling over mud-bogged roads and fields. German military reports eon- ceded that the Russians were launching strong counter-attacks, especially in the Kalinin sector, but withheld details. Hitler's Schedule Upset The Russia newspaper Pravda acknowledged "great danger" at Moscow, the Donets basin, the Crimea and Rostov, but declared that Adolf Hitler's prediction ot virtory before winter had col lapsed. Pravda said the nazl high com mand had thrown almost the en tire German land army, artillery and tanks, and nine-tenths of the air force into the Russian cam paign. , "The enemy lias not yet been halted. He Is still pressing on de spite heroic resistance and counter-attacks' by the Had army. which is strewing the route of advance of the nazl troops? with heaps of German corpses. ,. ' "Nevertheless, ' It is perfectly clear1 that no temporary suc cesses can bring Germany her desired victory and peace." .Travelers arriving outside the U. S. S. R. from Kuibyshev, mix- Mary soviet capital, said the first 15 davs of November would probably bo the most crucial pe riod In Russia's straggle. Aerial activity surged to peak violence over the snow-covered battletront, with nazl bombers heavily attacking Industries and supply lines In Moscow Itself while soviet warplunes struck back at German troops in the field. A Russian communique said a single Red air unit In three days had destroyed 27 nazl tanks, 135 ammunition tracks and n large ammunition dump. "Nearly one nnd n half batta lions of enemy Infantry were an nihilated by bombs nnd machine gun fire," the communique said. Nazis Start Digging In Russian dispatches said that Germans were digging trenches and tank traps, essentially de fensive works, in some areas be fore Moscow in an effort to con solidate earlier gains against so viet counterattacks. This followed reports that trench warfare had developed in the siege of Leningrad. Germons declared today that that northern city was being sub jected to an ever-increasing bom bardment by German artillery nnd planes, with aerial raiders dropping half-ton and one-ton Stock and Bond Averages STOCKS Compiled by Associated Press Oct 29. 30 15 15 CO Ind'ls RR's Ut's St'ks Wednesday 58.3 16.5 30.7 40.8 Prev. day ..5S.B 1G.6 17.1 10.9 19.0 15.4 30.9 32.0 ' 36.4 35.5 30.3 41.1 43.1 45.3 45.0 39.1 Month ago G2.0 Year ago .64.1 1941 high ... 63.9 1941 low ..54.8 BONDS 20 10 10 10 RR's Ind'ls Ut's Fgn, Wednesday 62.8 105.0 101.8 48.9 Prev. day ..62.8 105.1 102.0 49.1 Month ago 61.9 105.0 102.0 50.4 Year ago .59.2 104.6 99.6 36.8 1941 high 66.5 105.4 102.2 51.4 1941 low ..60.2 104.2 89.0 38.0 missiles on fortifications and war industries. Artillery was the weapon of which Moscovltes boasted. The hammering of Red army bat tarles before the capital, linked with the fighting of other serv ices under orders against a re treat, was declared to bo so fierce as to make the defenses Impregnable. Soviet airmwi were said to have struck heavy blows at the Invaders west ol Moscow, knock- ing out 42 tanks, bo armored cars and 430 trucks Monday alone and breaking up two Infantry regl merits. British Convoy Blasted At sea, Hitler's high command credited nazl U-boats with sink ing 14 ships totalling 47,000 tons In a six-day pursuit of a convoy traveling from Gibraltar to Eng land. An escorting British destroyer was also torpedoed and sunk, the high command said, and almost the entire convoy was wiped out. Both German and British air men took off on offensive flights In cross-channel warfare over night. British pilots flying American- built Havocs bombed German air dromes In northern France with out a loss, the air ministry news service said, raiding one airport near Abbeville three times in two hours. A British communique ack nowledged slight damage and a small number of casualties from small-scale German raids on southwest England. Australia 8 government pro posed heavier taxation of her 10,000,000 population to meet costs of her war effort. Treasurer J. B.

Lewis, Taylor Meet in Try to' End Coal Strike (Continued from page 1) problem of work stoppages af fecting defense, and the pressure for action increased with the overnight threat of a general strike of airplane factory work ers in five eastern states. The general strike threat arose from the protracted CIO dispute with Air Associates, Inc., at Ben dlx, N. J. Richard Frankenstcen, national director of the CIO union involved, telegraphed Pres ident Roosevelt that unioss the controversy could be settled to the union's satisfaction by Thursday, he had no recourse but to use the economic strength ot the union to protect its mem bers. The sole Issue In the captive mines dispute was the United Mine Workers' demand for a union shop in the coal shafts which the steel companies oper ate to obtain fuel for their blast furnaces. Under, a union shop provision, each employee would have to become a member of the union after a period of proba tion. The dispute directly affects 53,000 miners, claimed to be 05 per cent organized by the UMW, whose strike became effective Mnndiiy in captive mines In NEW YOUR INVESTMENT FOR THE CBiTigj.rjiyja rjg jrjrj 3 SHDW & TJTt fi7i'iMi;tir AT NO TIMl, tVtf, HAVE THOUGHTFVI NOUS lOOKtO MORt CAHmiUY AT THE VALUt Of MONtY.

AT DOUGLAS Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama, Steel Firms Receptive The United States Steel corpor ation told the national defense mediation board yesterday It was willing to accept the board's re cent offer to decide the dispute an offer which contained the proviso that both parties to the dispute must agree in advance to accept the board's decision as final. This morning the Voungstown Sheet and Tube company tele graphed it was also willing for the board to decide the dispute, If principal other companies in terested agreed and if the pro cedure set no precedent. But the Weirton Steel company and the Wheeling Steel corpora tion, whose interests likewise are affected, notified the board that they preferred another ai ternative that the dispute be settled by a joint board made up of miners and operators. Peace Outlook Poor U. S. Steel's action, however, was taken as an advance hint that Taylor would present some such settlement proposal to Lewis, and that prospect dimmed the conference's chances for suc cess from the outset. Ia-wIs already has assailed the mediation boards handling of the captive mine controversy, and it seemed unlikely that he would consent to entrust the dis pute to the board again for a de cision which would be binding upon the union and management. President Roosevelt indicated yesterday that he had under con sideration new legislation de signed to cope with defense strikes in general, but he avoid ed direct comment on the captive coal mine stoppage. On capitol hill, the discussion of legislation was specific, and while some proponents of anti- strike measures were encouraged by tho disclosure that the presi dent was studying the subject, others were manifestly in no mood to wait.

' WELDERS' PICKET LINE AT SHIP YARDS AGAIN CRASHED SEATTLE, Oct. 29 fAP) A mild outbreak of violence flared again today at the Lake Wash ington shipyard across Lake Washington at Houghton as workers, protected by AFLSeat tle metal trades council mem bers, crashed a striking welders to enter the plant. Deputy Sheriff Paul Bell, caught in a melee of massed pickets and the rushing work ers, was knocked down but un hurt. Fifteen deputies, led by Undcrsheriff Louis J. Forbes and Capt. Ed Storgaard, restored or der. Three state patrolmen were also on the scene. The plant management report ed later nearly 90 per cent of the workers were on the job. Welders, part of 1,700 In the Puget sound area who have walk ed out in protest against the American Federation of Labor's refusal to grant them a separate international union, were ringed around the plant at 8 a. m. when non strikers started to enter the yard. A call, "come on, men, let's shove 'em down the road," came from the metal trades' sound truck and the rush began. Strike Ranks Broken. In Seattle, shipyard workers went to jobs without clashes with pickets and tho metal trades council said an even larger pro portion was returning to work than yesterday. Few striking welders, however, went back to the yards. At Houghton yester day, "flying wedge" tactics were used to get men into the plant and lift fights ensued. Meantime, a welders' spokes man, replying to an office of pro duction management demand that the striking welders return to v. oik in shipyards and other defense Industries here and at Taeoma, said any such notifica tion should come directly from the white house.
