PAGE TCI The OREGON STATESMAN. Satan. Oregon, Wednesday Mornincj. September 3. 1S41 Hitler's Generals Seen Ready to Hurl Another Smashing Blow oh v - Russians Before j By EDWARD 'V Special to The ' ; . "The day's news suggests that Adolf Hitler's generals may be about to attempt another smashing blow in Russia. ': 1 Just a the relative lull of the last few days resembles the calni before the storm of other Heavy bombing east 01 tne jLHuep er and In the Crimea follows a familiar pattern of preparation for the forward thrust of mechanized spearheads. " . Beyond the rea army s main river defense line in the Ukraine, - -. ... - . waves of German plans have been ' battering airports, railway supply trains and motorized ; columns, Berlin reports say. In the Crimea, the island-like peninsula which 1 juts into the Black sea, the first air attacks of the invasion were .made. . -' j Meanwhile, a thousand miles 'doe north, the iron ring j was drawn tighter about Leningrad, and a point 20 miles from the second'city of the soviet union A was reported captured. Against thet background of the situation facing the weary Wehr macht just now, these develop ments tempt a prediction that the Germans soon will launch their delayed drive to overrun th rest of i the Ukraine, while pressing for State Doctors Open Conclave - PORTLAND, Sept gpn physicians opened their, 67th annual convention and post gradu ate study "here Tuesday with Dr. Frank H. Lahey.JBoston, president of the American Medical associa tion, heading the list of speakers. ,Among the 300 delegates were many -from eastern Oregon who reported an increasing laek of physicians there due to inductions into military service. Estimates of the number taken ranged upward to 30 per cent of the total. Holman to Have Vacancies to Both Academies Sen.

BOMAR Statesman nazi offensives, the reported the capture of Leningrad before the month's end.. '' Failure to do so'wpuld be a -significant confes sion of weakness. With due allowance for the un reliability of general mud, who failed the Poles so miserably two years ago this month, the nazi war machine can afford to risk little more delay. Time is short for the invaders to win more great tri umphs this year and seize the most favorable positions lor threatened "Winter stalemate. . Fall weather like the y New England autumn, but -shorter, already is at hand in the Ukraine, say American officials who have lived in South Rus sia. Normally this month brings heaw rains sufficient to dig. courage tanks and trucks, and frosts are due in October. The Crimea js warmer but the Black sea contributes severe seasonal storms to the uncertainties In the south. In the north, around Leningrad, Finnish military men testify that in , September and October rains formally turn roads into mud, and then come freezes which change the whole complexion of military operations. A glance at the war map' sug gests, another prime considera tion pertinent to an attempt to gauge the immediate outlook. The fighting front jvhich sprawls, irregularly some 1500 miles between the Baltic and the Blackseas is. featured by two great bulges, in the center toward Moscow where the -Russians claim to have fought their foes to a standstill, and fartber;: south in the bend of the Dnieper. In the military; view it ap pears almost imperative that the two salients be Joined, or at least narrowed, to provide a broad base for the prospective German attempt to drive east- " ward across the Dnieper to the line of the; lower Don river, more than' 200 miles distant. Otherwise the flank of the ad vance would be dangerously exposed. Conventional military strategy thus would seem to demand a vast three-prong campaign, inde pendent of that around Lenin grad, to promise success for oc cupation of the rest of the Ukraine. General Von Rundstedt presum ably would like to send a pincer northernward jfrom the Dnieper to meet another pushing south ward from the central bulge, while another force pushed east ward toward the Don. The Rus sians thus far have been able to offer some "forceful counter-arguments to this objective. The maneuver would involve the complete encirclement of Kiev tnd a threat to trap red army divisions in a manner with which the Russians have learned to cope effectively. , y n H'"7Ti" Si I X T r f'!!i r fM Ui j f'i - e ?
