Solon, Oregon, Thursday Morning, Eoptember 25, 1841 Russ Defeat Arctic Drive Second Nazi Attempt to Take Oty Fails ; Leningrad Pressured (Continued from Page 1) quered lands. Attempts to reach Zagreb, Croat capital, from Ber Lin by telephone met with an an nouncement that "the line is dis turbed." Earlier this 'week Serb rebels were said to 'have killed 104 -Croat soldiers and officers and holed up In" the mountains. Althoush Berlin Informants declared the situation of Lenin j grad was Increasingly preearl- oos they offered lie prediction on the possible duration of Russian resistance. An unending series of soviet counter-attacks was acknowl edged, but they were said to be progressively losing power, j The. official German . news agency. In effect admitting that there was no sign of a crack in - the Russian resolve to hold Len ingrad to the death, obliquely threatened: "It is expected that Lenin grad and Its population will suffer the fate of Warsaw." As to the vast Russian force claimed to be still entrapped east of Kiev in an area far behind the spearhead of the German advance toward Kharkov in the Donets river basisn, Berlin claimed that two separate encirclements had been achieved and that the anni hilation or capture of the surviv ors was imminent and certain. As of Tuesday, the destruction of 50 soviet divisions numbering about 750,000 men had been claimed in that sector. In the air, the Germans re ported a continuing offensive extending from the Baltic to far south of Kharkov , In the lower Ukraine the latter pre sumably covering the advance a the. ground. The high eom '. mand announced that bomb hits had been scored on a Rus sian eralser and on an unstated amber of battleships off the Leningrad naval base of Kron stadt. l Aside from announcing the vic tory at Murmansk, Moscow claim ed Wednesday qualified successes on nearly every other sector, al though the general soviet position was still bad beyond question. At Leningrad it was declared that the Germans had been beat en back on one of the city's ap proaches by the recapture of a local position and that a stubborn series of nazi counter-attacks had failed. At the center, the Russian counter-offensive was declared still unchecked, and it was stated specifically that two German regiments,: had been destroyed along the upper Dvina river about 200 miles due west of Moscow. -. On the diplomatic front, Brit ain's allies , the' Dominions, the Russians, the Belgians, Cseehs, Greeks, Dutch, Norwe gians, Poles, Yugoslavs, Free French and Luxembourgers agreed upon a proposal for the creation of a great reserve of food and other supplies to help sustain Europe when the war is ended. The scheme, proposed by Brit ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and offered along with i declaration of American Amba sador Winant that it had "great li ft LAST TIMES TODAY VX AND 2ND FEATURE Cnevro on display at our showroom 423 N.

Eden, : would be kept Informed and comulted be fore anything specific was done. It was a bid for vupport of the allies by all the peoples of Europe and while It wis adopt ed without dissent by the allied ; council which also adhered to the Roosevelt-Churchill At ; Untie charter the Russians ! were evidently not wholly hap py. ; Russian Ambassador Ivan Mai sky observed that while recon struction was highly important there was a more imperative pres ent necessity to so allocate allied resources and war supplies as to enable the winning of the war. The Russians also objected to the all-British makeup of the pro posed central coordinating bureau for operating the post-war food pool and Indicated they Intended to move revisions to make ' it inter-allied. Hitler Wants Bulgarsfor Work, Report (Continued from Page 1) power apparently was exhausted a year ago when the reich began importing hundreds ofHhouaands of Italian' and Balkan workers. It now Is estimated that about 1,' 500,000 foreigners are working Germany either in vital, war in dustries or in equally vital agri cultural production. Besides these voluntary and semi-voluntary workers, there are at least 1,500,000 war prisoners employed on German farms or building roads and airfields. That number does not Include the unknown hundreds of thou sands of Russlaa war prisoners. Regarding the Russians, the Germans contend there is no prohibition against working them directly in war Industries, since Russia is not a signatory of the Hague pact against use of prisoners In such war industries as munitions works, shipyards and mines. Germany has been combing Eu rope for even semi-skilled mine labor, and it can be surmised that many Russian prisoners are or soon may be digging the precious coal from which Germany gets a thousand or more products, in eluding gasoline and essential chemicals. French Seek Nazi Favor (Continued from Page 1) ranging from one year to life. Fernand do Brinon, Vichy ambassador to Paris, already has been sounding out the Ger mans on the new plan, and Otto Abets, German ambassa dor, has just returned to Paris from Berlin after consulting nazi leaders there. Jacques Benoist-Mechin, secre tary of state, also talked with Abetz and De Brinon and tonight was hurrying back to Vichy to report to Vice-Premier Admiral Darlan. Informants in Paris said just before midnight that rumors that a state of siege had been de clared there were unfounded. Moscow Repulses Raid MOSCOW, Sept 25 -(Thursday) - (JP) German planes at tempting to raid Moscow Wednes day night and early today were beaten off by anti-aircraft bat teries and night fighters, a soviet communique said today. None of the German . raiders reached the city, it was said. The alarm, from 9 p. m. until 2:45 a. m, was the longest of the war.

Committee members, who declined to be quoted by name, said Stark pro duced figures on shipping losses which demonstrated that the navy's new "shoot on sight" policy would not alone bo suffi cient to keep the sea lanes te Britain open. The naval chief was reported to have said that still greater ex penditures would be necessary for both merchant ships to make: up for losses and for corvettes. torpedo boats and similar anti submarine craft to help the British wipe out the undersea menace. Stark testified on the naval phases of the $5,985,000,000 sec ond lend-lease appropriation bill and some members asserted bis picture of the shipping losses was a gloomy one. Others contended that he did not indicate any sub stantial change in the situation;. They Just want an extension of the original program,' one member said. Speaker Rayburn predicted that the house would approve arming the merchant craft.

WASHINGTON. Sept 14 Srtrv Mnrmthau eounlad an unexpected recommendation, to congress Wednesday for a drastic six per cent limitation on all cor' porate profits during the emer gency with a warning that fur ther restrictions on bank credits may be necessary If inflation Is to be averted. The treasury head, urging the house banking eomitteo to speed the price-control bill as an es- senUal step toward preventing inflation, expressed belief that corporations should bo satisfied if they could earn six per cent on their Invested capital dur bag the emergency. He asserted that all earnings In excess of that figure should go to the government to help pay for the "fantastic" defense expend! tures. Despite efforts of several republicans to have him modify the statement, he stuck to It as what he called a "rule of thumb" from which tax experts could work out the details.
