The board also EiiRpesled n one-week vaca tion with pay for the non-operating workers.

Welders Resuming Jobs, A back-to-work movement pain ed momentum today among strik ing west coast welders. Those at Los Angeles accepted an OPM proposal that they go back to their Jobs pending a confer- once on their grievances, but their fellow craftsmen in the Seattle area remained out. The welders want a charter from the AFL for a separate un ion. Under present conditions, they say, they must pay dues to several unions in order to ply their trade. 'lino welders claim their walkout affected some 20,' 000 men, but the OPM estimates the figure at not more than 5,000. Oilier late labor developments San Diego: A strike of AFL building tradesmen to enforce undisclosed wage demands halted work on a $5,500,000 expansion program at a naval training sta tion and marine camp. Seattle: A si l ike vole will be taken today by 3,500 members of the International Longshore' men's association (AFL) in all ports under the jurisdiction of that union. The ILA is demanding $1.25 an hour for men under its juris diction. The Waterfront Employ ers' association has a coastwise contract Willi the International Longshoremen and Warehouse men's union (CIO) at a $1 an hour scale;. The ILA only re cently won the right lo represent the ihree Washington polls in negotiations. Russians Deal Bloody Repulses to Germans (Continued from page 1) ported that a mass assault by nazi tanks had been shattered by red artillery fire. Reds Take Heavy Toll, The government-controlled, Mos cow radio said the Germans were floelnrf . from an unspecified Ponds river battlefield "leaving! behind them heaps of dead and many guns." Much of the Inter est fighting in the (iTO-milelong basin has centered about Rostov-on-Don, gateway to iho Caucas us oil fields. The radio said the battle of Tula, 100 miles south of Moscow, continued to rage "but tho en emy is not fighting with tho same tirdor as when ho began the offensive." There were indications thai Siberia-trained red army re serves, some 200,000 of them now reported fighting on the Moscow front, may have turned tho tide in that all important struggle. The Russians said German sol diers were again entrenching de fensively and half burying tanks to use as pillboxes against so viet counterattacks. Authoritative London quarters said tho .'.Ki-day-old German drive on Moscow was now "very defi nitely held." German neivsreels from the front significantly stressed the hazards and difficulties of as saulting the IT. S. S. K. capital, displaying diagrams md pictures of Moscow's live-ply outer de fense system - successive bar riers of flamethrowers, tank traps and barbed wire, a moat, j.stor more tank traps anil barbed uireiabli entanglements, and finally bunk ers. Crimea Drive Slowed. ' Altogether, the picture was among the brightest yet painted for Russia's ilclense armies. Even in the Crimea, latest" nd- vices reaching London indicated that flic Germans had made lit tle progress toward the great Black sea naval base of Sevasto nol since last Sunday, when they were reported only "0 rules away. A British military observer; went so far as to declare Sevas topol might withstand siege in definitely, reporting that the city of 80,000 was defended by well supplied troops manning "veryi strongly fortified positions." I He said the stronghold could become "another Odessa, perhaps .with not the same results'- re ferring to the long defense of the Ukraine mainland port against German and Rumanian siege, armies. Odessa finally surrender- j ed In mid-October. Meanwhile, a broadcast from) HsiiiKing, capital of Japanese dominated Manchukuo, reported that the 38th Chinese (commun ist) field army had promised 100, 000 Chinese troops to aid Russia against Germany and that they were "about to bo. transported westward." Nazis Claim Successes, Adolf Hitler's field headquar ters declared that pursuit of "the beaten enemy" was continu ing along the entire Crimean front and asserted that soviet re sistance had been broken In the mountains east of Sevastopol. Reiterating yesterday's claim of a hi oak-through to the Black ivti, uie niii euniinuuu nam uut man and Rumanian troops defeat ed isolated rod army units in the Yaila mountains and "pushed through a broad front" to the coastal region between Yalta and Feodlslya. As German ground forces broke Russian resistance in the moun tains east of Sevastopol, the red fleet s best remaining Black sea base, the communique said, Ger man planes sank three troopships totalling 13,000 tons and damag ed four other merchantmen in waters around the Crimcu and off the north coast of the Black sea. Leningrad, it said, was pound ed both by air and by heavy bat teries which were credited with scoring blows on two warships and a freighter in the gulf of Finland T.

The possibility of a winter campaign in tho south, with Cau casus oil as the stake, occupied the attention of both. German sources made no bones about the economic value of the Caucasus oil fields, not so much for the booty that would fall to Germany as for the blow Russia would suffer if she lost three fourths of her petroleum output. Such a drive, it was asserted in Berlin, would be a logical con sequence of nazi gains in the Crimea, a back door to the Cau casus, and along the Black sea coast. The Russians linked the pos sibility of a major southern drive with tho report of a possible win ter stalemate in Iho Moscow theater of operations. LONDON, Nov. 0 - (AP) Smashing at German shipping, last night on a broad sea front, the RAF was reported officially to have bombed several ships In a well-defemled convoy oil' tile Frisian Islands and one was seen ablaze. The raids cost the British eight planes, according to the air ministry. Aircraft of the coastal com mand also attacked German ship ping off the Dutch mainland. The British losses were evenly divid ed between the bomber and coast al commands. The operations were carried in- jlo the continental channel ports, tile air ministry said, and mines were sown hy low-flying planes.

"The new order Is ready to I collapse at any moment and bury Hitler In its nuns. St .il In se'd wiviet losses were 3.10,000 killed and 1,358,000 wound ed or missing. p(1 Soviet Morale at Peak He said the soviet rear never had been so strong as at this mo ment and that Red Army morale was infinitely higher than that of the German amry. The Germany army has been forced to construct new bases on unfriendly territory, whereas "our army is fighting on its own territory," the Russian premier asserted, "with our people exert ing every effort to keep it sup plied. "It is unnecessary to add that the blitzkrieg has failed. "One of the chief factors fac ing the red army at the present moment is the lack of a second front in Europe." Stalin continued, "feeling as-1 sured that they would not be at-; tacked on the western front, the Germans are throwing in the j ',"' " " ' " ; Our country is carrying on a UUl ,.w.t,iiij -7 ........ ..-r, war of liberation alone against the German, Hungarians and Italians." He declared that "another rea son for the temporary Red army setbacks is the shortage of tanks. "It can not be said that our tank industry is not working well; It Is working very well for its size, but the Germans can throw in more tanks, as they have not only their own factories but also the factories of Czecho slovakia, France and the countries of Europe which they occupy. "Our aviation is superior In quality; our pilots have proved themselves. We have fewer planes, but the quality of our tanks and planes Is superior."

More Americans Perish The discussions accompanied two fresh developments in the battle of the Atlantic the an nouncement that 17 American civilian technicians had been lost en route lo England, and the dis closure that U-boats have been op erating close to New Foundlancl. The latest American casualties were men who had enlisted in the British civilian technical corps for non-combatant duly abroad. Their loss was made public last night by the British press service on behalf of the Royal Air Force delegation here.

The president said the place of the whole western hemisphere in a German scheme for world domination had been marked on the nazi time-table, and the choice America had to make was between realism "in terms of three shifts a day" to produce necessary defense materials and the attitude of the "blind and de luded" who think that business can be done with Hitler and that American armament output is satisfactory. War Pinch Being Felt The president said that the people of the United States had so far been called upon for ex tremely limited sacrifices, but that they were "beginning to feel the pinch of war." Such sacrifices, he noted, were nothing compared with those of the people of Britain, China and Russia and those of occupied countries from . Norway to Greece. The president paid a special tribute to the men and women of the lands which have lost their independence against a "brutal force which, however powerful will he forever inadequate to Mm AUSPICES OF ROSEBURG TOWNSEND CLUB 1 1g AKM gfoG, iloveirinibeir' 8 WESTERN OREGON STATE FIDDLIN Any Old Time Fiddler May Enter By Registering at Marsters' Drug Store, Roseburg.

Two Courses Open The t president's warning against accepting things as they are was given in these words: "Our place the place of the whole western hemisphere in the nazi scheme for world domi nation has been marked on the nazi time-table. "The choice we have to make is this: Shall wo make our full sacrifices now, produce to the limit, and deliver our products today and everyday to the battle fronts of the entire world?
