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

Longshoremen and Warehouse
men's union (CIO) at a $1 an

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

traps and barbed wire, a moat, j.stor

' 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

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

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.

Winter Campaign Looms.
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.

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,

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."

The central theory in the
various methods being explored
was that mass submarine attacks
would be rendered largely Inef

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
