Nazi Propaganda
For Latest Hitler
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Special to The Statesman
It is obvious1 that the nazis sought to provide an impressive
propaganda1 background for Hitler's latest speech to his people.
For example, the speech was preceded by stepped-up, harvest
moon bombing of England. -
However, his announcement of
a "eicantic new development on
the Russian front, initiated by the
Germans within the last 48 hours,
can not be classified as mere
propaganda. It has ample sup
porting evidence from Russian
sources.
It has seemed clear that the
elements of a new crisis for the
Russians were taking shape, close
in the wake of the Kiev disaster.
Against what is happening from
the south flank of the Kiev bulge
to the Black Sea under a screen
'of rigid censorship on both sides,
Russian successes to the north are
at best tactical rather than of
strategic importance.
As for the northern front,
London heard nmm that he
sieged Leningrad had been at
least partially relieved and
that eonunmnicatloa with Mos
cow" had been restored. That Is
calculated to prolong the Len
ingrad battle Indefinitely, If
true. Reinforcements of men,
arms and supplies for the Len
ingrad garrissn could be
brought up. " ' ?

all along the front and as having
cost the nazis many thousands of
casualties.
In the far north, weU above
Leningrad, the Russians claimed
to have broken Finnish attempts
: to storm several small islands
near Hangoe, the soviet naval
base at the northern approach to
the Gulf of Finland, and to have
defeated long and repeated nazl
efforts to take the fortified islands
; of Oesel and Dagoe.
1 In this latter action, which had
been in progress for weeks, Mos
cow announced that a total of
snore than 80 German transports
had been damaged, destroyed or
driven oil and. stated that in re-
tent nehtuuf a German cruiser
and two destroyers were sunk.

Rightiest terrorism burst -upon
German-occupied Paris Friday as
six Jewish synagogues were
wrecked by bombs, while in other
nazi-controlled lands of the con
tinent executions and other re
pressive measures were carried
out by the German authorities
with continuing severity.
The mayor of Prague, capital
of the Czech protectorate of Bo
hemia and Moravia, - was sent
enced to death, charged with
leading an : elaborate sabotage-terrorUm-espionage-rebellion
plot
declared in Berlin to have been
inspired abroad.
, 1
The Csech territory seemed
to be the center of current, dis
turbances, although totals made
public in both London and Ber
lin covering the entire period
since the beginning of the Rus
sian war June 22 Indicated that
former Yugoslavia had seen the
. most executions for acts against
the occupying authorities.
A compilation of official re
ports to Berlin showed that at
least 268 have been executed in
Croatia and 113 more in the re
mainder of former Yugoslavia.
Unofficial estimates in London
put the Yugoslav figure at 60,000,
and although thiS was discounted
as far too high, London sources
agreed the number put W death
was large. -
'The totals of German execu
tions for occupied France were
given in nazi-occupied Paris as
11, in London as 400. The Czech
figures were 108 and . 154, re
spectively. The ) total of execu
tions for aU occupied territories
was placed at 584 by the Ger
. mans; . the ; total as reckoned in
London,- exclusive of Yugoslavia,
wag 750.
Pioneer Dies
At Home Here
John VL McCorkle, 88, pioneer
Sflvertoh businessman who had
made' his home in Salem since
1917, died early Friday morning
at his residence.
Born June 29, 185S, con of Mr.
and Mrs. George F. McCorkle who
had settled on a Howell Prairie
donation land claim in 1849, he
married, . in 1878, Sarah Ellen
Cawood, who survives him.
From the time of their marriage
until 1817 the McCorkles made
their home in Silverton. . Mrs.
George TL Riches of Salem is. a
daughter. -

and it is possible that these on
slaughts achieved the break in
nazi siege lines. That sector, run
ning east and south of Leningrad
to the shores of Lake Ladoga, is
obviously the weakest link of the
German siege lines. It is most
difficult to supply and reinforce.
And, in view of Hitler's bint
of gigantic new German attacks
developing elsewhere, it appears
that he lacked the means to re
inforce the Leningrad siege ring
adequately. It is evident that be
was massing his, mam striking
forces southward.
The suddea: blow at Kiev
which entrapped and took the
city fat a huge plncer movement
two weeks ago proved that.. It
feU far ' short, however, of a
German break-through Into the
Donets-Don basin via Kharkov.
It is there, on the southern
flank of the long battle line
from the Kiev bulge to the sea
of Asov and to the Crimean
front south of Perekon,j,that the
greatest Russian danger lies.
. That basin is the route through
Which oil from Russia's lush Cas
pian fields reaches its .destination
in factories, tanks or planes.
Hence it is the greatest military
prize at which steel-tipped nazi
fingers are clutching in Russia.
And Hitler frankly admitted what
has been well Known to every
observer as his Russian crusade
took its bloody way, that Russian
morale and Russian preparedness
for war on a grand scale have
deeply surprised him.
The uerman schedule ol vic
tory is way off stride; der fuehrer
admits that even while still
claiming that the battle, in the
east is going "as planned."
He also tacitly admits, in the
light of growing resistance to
his sway in all nazl-conquered
countries, that there must be
developing doubt in Germany
itself as to his ultimate victory.
To meet it. Hitler travelled
from the Russian front to make
the Berlin address at a time
when he could ill be spared as
a vast new German offensive
got under way.
Just what the scope of that
drive will prove to be or where
the brunt of it is falling does not
yet appear. There is much to in
dicate that the most immediate
spearhead Is east of the Dnieper
river at he Dnieperopetrovsk
crossing, a penetration 'of a dozen
to 25 miles northeast is claimed
in Berlin.

main incognito, pointed to pos
sible speeding- mt port develop
ments should an army air base
be established here.
That such a possibility is not
remote was his claim. Two bases
are to be established in Oregon,
and Salem is strategically located,
he declared.
Some indication of the city's
attitude toward location of such
a base would be welcomed by
army authorities, the visitor in
dicated. He suggested that if
Salem businessmen are genu
inely anxious to have an air
cantonment approaching In sise
those, at McChord field they
should extend Invitations at

plans of other states, what they
all think they are going to do and
begin, and when you hear about
sums in the billions, then,- my
fellow citizens, remember what I
am now saying:
"In the service of this (the Ger
man) fight we have engaged the
whole continent." V
Three points he emphasized, aU
dealing with the present status of
the "new order".
"First," he repeated, "we are
putting the whole continent Into
our service.
"Second, we do not talk ef
capital but of the strength el
labor.
Third, (the fact) that we are
not talking doesn't mean that
we are not acting."
Much of what he had to say
was intended to show Germany's
excellent military position.
About 2,500,000 Russian pris
oners now have been taken, he
added, along with 22,000 Red guns
in German hands, 18,000 tanks
destroyed or captured and 14,500
Russian planes destroyed.
He was careful to pay tribute
both to the German soldier and
those on the home front, his ap
parent purpose being to nourish
the hatred of Bolshevism and to
imbue the consciousness ef the
Germans with the conviction that
they are the world's elite.
The Russian forces he called
"not human beings but animal
beasts," adding: "That's what bol-
shevism has made of them."
Again he declared, speaking
mainly of Britain, that well
knowing the "blood, misery, suf
fering and sacrifice" of war, he
had sought peace, again he as
serted that his repeated efforts
had been rebuffed.
"Churchill," said the fuehrer,
"kept saying: 1 want war!' "
"Weir and this was snap
ped off sharply "he has it
now!" ' -
As to Russia, he insisted that
Stalin had from the beginning
failed to live up to the German
Russian pact
"But August and September of
last year," he went on, "it be
came clear that I had an enemy
in the back ready to stab' at any
time."
In late 1940, he added, Soviet
Foreign Commissar Molotov had
been told that Germany could not
hear of Russian suggestions that
the soviet extend its influence
westward to include the Dar
danelles. In the months that followed,
Hitler went on, Russian mobiliza
tion began and because the lives
of "hundreds of thousands were
at stake" he kept silent
But, he said, surprise was one
of his weapons and when he saw
an opponent preparing to attack
it was his policy to beat him to it
"It was the hardest decision
ef my life," he added.
Referring to affairs in the
west he remarked::
"We gained friendship with
Italy and Japan," he said, "but
unfortunately not with that na
tion I courted most Britain.
"Now the British people must
assume the responsibility.
'. . . If the. warmongers did
not realize before that this war
is no longer a good thing for
England, they will now perceive
that as truly as I stand here."
"The decision presently be
ing fought eut," he shouted in
apparent reference to the Kus-
siaa campaign, "is for the next
hundred year." -
-Natlonr he cried In closing.
"help yourself, then the Lord
wont deny his help."

WASHINGTON, Oct 1-JP)
President Roosevelt revealed
Friday that this government
had raised the question of free
dom of religion In Russia in
discussing with Moscow offi
cials the problems of supplying
military equipment for the
Soviet's war With Germany.
He J declined te disclose any
details and left open to specu
lation; the possibility that guar
antees ef religion freedom may
have been demanded in return
for American assistance.
Mr. Kooseveit s original re
marks were prompted by ques
tions on a statement by the Polish
ambassador here that a church
for Polish Catholics and a syna
gogue for Polish Jews were being
opened: in Moscow.
The 1 White House statement
said, in this connection:
' "Since the Soviet constitution
declares that freedom of religion
is granted, it is hoped that in the
light of the report of the Polish
ambassador an entering wedge for
the practice of complete freedom
of religion is definitely on the
way." ;

"Traffic hi these sections ef

He estimated that the $30,000

Pray also mentioned the pro

ed that establishment of these
two cantonments would necessi
tate two additional state police
