' By KTRKE Ll SIMPSON T Special to The Statesman The astonishing thing about Hitler's "gigantic" new offensive in Russia is the almost glacial slowness with which it is develop ing, in striking contrast to previous nazi blitzkrieg technique. Hitler declared last Friday that the offensive had been in progress some 48 hours. Yet it was another 72 hours before Lon don military onlookers discovered any definite evidence that it had been launched on a wide front. . It seemed to these London ex perts that the heaviest initial pressure was f ailing on the Rus- sian renter, just south of Smol ensk; and on the north central front about 200 miles northwest of Moscow, The British reports located one scene of action in the Roslavl area, mid war between Smolensk and Bryansk, both scenes of recent Russian count er attacks. The nazi attack in the Roslavl area presumably 'is aimed at breaking, through toward Moscow along the double-track railroad crossing the Dnieper at Rogachev. That accounts for London specula tion that the soviet capital, with its wheel-spoke communication lines, is the Germans' next objec tive. It remains to be seen, however, whether the pressure there and ' further north is not actually a Ger - man holding operation, designed to prevent shifting of Russian re inforcements southward where it still seems the most effective strategic possibilities lie for the nazis. The London observers detect indications Out the German at tack on Leningrad is tapering off to a virtual siege operation, presumably because Hitler can not spare troops from his great offensive, whether aimed at Moscow or at the Donets basin and its vital Russian oil link. Recent Russian successes in the ' Leningrad area may have been due to withdrawal of German forces southward for the new offensive. '. Without a shadow of a doubt the major strength of the red army is concentrated within the 250 mile half -circle, from the Lenin' grad-Moscow railroad in the northwest to the upper reaches of ti.TWut rivpr to the southeast, A web of railroads and highways SilveitOH People rnvpr this half-circle.

They were arrested after, Mrs. Robinson assertedly attempted to get a loan on a typewriter at a local firm Saturday. The address she gave aroused sus picion of the dealer, who called police. She deft the firm but soon met Toung. Police learned the typewriter involved had been rented only an hour before from the Under wood Elliott Fisher agency at 531 court street.. Young "was taken to headquar ters for questioning and admitted he had rented and disposed of other typewriters in a similar manner.' His baggage at a hotel, searched with his permission, yielded numerous pawnshop tickets. These and admitted offenses included 14 in Seattle, one in Eugene and three in Everett. The property comprised type writers, rings and watches. Mrs. Robinson when taken in to custody said they had come here from Eugene, where they had been working, and registered at a Salem hotel as Mr. and Mrs. G. Young. Young also admitted he was absent without leave from the 34th airbase at Payne field, Everett. This was confirmed by communication with the field com mandant, t British Sub at US Navy Yard X Individual Booths Add Interest At Silverton Hills Community .

SILVERTON HILLS Displays at the Silverton Hills community fair, held at the hall here Satur day were not as numerous as in former years but were of a more distinctive nature. Individual booths added greatly to the gen eral display. Over 100 types and varieties of farm and home pro ducts made up the L. O. Hadley booth, one of the largest individ ual displays. Robert Rieder, Salem, Marion county agricultural agent, was the featured speaker on the afternoon program "Food Will Win the War and Write the Peace," was the theme of Rieder's talk. He urged that the advance prices on farm products be met with a Kentucky wonder bean seed, red beet seed, onion sets.

Red army retirement on the Smolensk and Bryansk fronts would almost certainly follow. Yet with only a few weeks to elapse before , the Russian, winter falls on the whole Moscow front, it does not seem that Hitler can hope for a decisive success in the center. As an essential preliminary to the real drive farther south to seize Kharkov and Rostov and cut Russian oil life lines, a German thrust at Moscow would be logi cal. And there are many indica tions still that it is the Donets Don basin at which Hitler actually is aiming. Better winter weather conditions in that southern area can be cited in support of that ar gument SILVERTON "Looks like folks are finally becoming settled for the winter, say members of the water department, noting only a small amount of moves in or out during the past week in compari son to the heavy shifting about of a couple of weeks ago. The Albert Liechtys and the R. B. Bonneys have moved from their farm homes to town for the winter, with the Liechtys settling at 618 South Third and the Bon neys at 408 Oak streets The J. R.
