be progressing slowly over strong
soviet resistance.
Whatever the ultimate move
of these dual thrusts, which
seemed to be among the heav
iest vet loosed by the nails,
there were growing indications
that the time was coming for
a similar all-eat German of
fensive against the Russian
Crimea and Caucasus.
Information was received in
Turkey that a German naval op
eration from Bulgarian bases,
probably the Black sea harbors
of Varna and Burgas, was "ready
to be launched
The expressed opinion of some
observers in Ankara was that
while the southern Russian armies
were not out they had been badly
knocked about and were woeful
ly short in machines.
More evidence that the British
themselves believe that the great
struggle of the winter will be
that for the Caucasus and the
, British-dominated near-east came
in the disclosure that mock war
fare against a yet hypothetical in
vasion from the west had been
opened a day ahead of schedule
on India's northwest frontier and
in the publication of this message
to the Indian national defense
council from Prime Minister
Churchill:
"Durlns 194X the armies of
India, with their British com
rades, will be fighting on a long
. front from the Caspian sea
(which lies "below and to the
east of the Caucasus) to the
Nile.
By so doing, they will be bar
ring the eastward progress of
the war and. thus keeping the
horrors of nasi invasion thou
sands of miles from the plains
of Hindustan."
Monday's specific reports from
Berlin and Moscow were not
greatly informative as to the
progress of the fighting along the
existing front
Soviet officials said nothing
during the day about the German
effort at the center, but the red
command's communique for early
' . Tuesday morning reported that in
one sector of that front Russian
tanks and bombers had "struck
blows" at German tank columns
which penetrated into the Russian
lines.
Along with this oblique
acknowledgement of a nazi ad
vance it was stated that 34 Ger
man tank had been destroyed in
that sector 22 by bombers and 12
by defending Russian tanks.
In the southwest, presumably
about Odessa, the soviet command
reported that red warplanes had
smashed an entire German tank
unit, destroying 64 of the attack
ing machines, along with 130 in
fantry and ammunition trucks.
The Germans spoke darkly
and vaguely of events of enor
mous significance, but did not
say what thes were beyond im
plying that they , were the "gi
gantic developments" -which
Hitler had reported as in prog
ress last Friday.
Concretely, the German com
munique reported that extraordi
narily strong Russian counter-at-,
tacks about Leningrad had again
been broken; that soviet attempts
to break through the siege lines
had'f ailed, and that a Russian ef
- fort to land troops west of Lenin
grad had been beaten "back with
eavy red losses.
The Russians for their part
claimed . Monday that unending
counter-attacks at both Lenin
grad and Odessa had greatly
strengthened the red situation and
, reported without giving much de
tail that the approaches to the
Crimean peninsula and to Kharkov
in the Donets basin were being
generally held by the defenders.

abroad Monday night in the German-occupied

called on the party to take the
lead and fight for the repeal of the
neutrality act, adding that if the
party "does not range itself .now
against the totalitarian threat, in
unequivocal terms, it will not con
tinue as a political force."
Willkie made this recommenda
tion in introducing Lord Halifax,
British amabassador to the United
States, at a national republican
club dinner at the Hotel Waldorf-
Astoria.

In urging action by republican
congressmen, Willkie said:
"It is apparent to all thoughtful
people that this act should be re
pealed and repealed promptly. The
administration is pursuing its usual
course at critical moments con
sulting the pools, putting up trial
balloons,' having some of its mem
bers make statements that others
can deny the same course that
has led to so much of the people's
confusion and misunderstanding.''
WASHINGTON, Oct.
little Panama rose up Monday
and threw a big monkey wrench
Into reported plans to arm a
large number of American
owned cargo ships flying the
Panamanian flag.
A decree of the cabinet coun
cil at Panama declared flatly that
merchant vessels of the Central
American country must not be
armed, under penalty of cancella
tion of their Panama registry.
Only last month. President
Roosevelt had revealed that steps
already had been taken to arm
some of the, American-owned
ships which had been transferred
to Panamanian registry to escape
the prohibitions of the United
States neutrality act (That act
prevents the arming of Ameri
can-flag cargo ships and bars
them from combat zones.)
Mr. Roosevelt disclosed that
the Pink 8 tar, former Danish
vessel taken ever by the Unit
ed States and placed under the
Panamanian flag, had been car
rying a gun or guns at the time
she was torpedoed in the north
Atlantic on September It. Mr.
Roosevelt added that Panama
was arming some other vessels
under registry, but he did not
know how many. '
Senator Connally (D-Tex.),
chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, said tonight
that Panama's decision against
the arming of ships "may be the
result of pressure by some small
groups that always haye enter
tained a political animosity to
ward the United States."
However, he declared that the
decision ''doesn't hurt anything"
and added:
"We can amend the neutral
ity act and arm them on our
own responsibility. And, maybe
later on we can tell our ships
that they can go anywhere on
the high seas.'
