the ' claim was substantially de
nied in London, the invaders were
developing a new encirclement
maneuver against soviet armies
claimed to be in headlong flight
Nazi sources sought to give the
impression that the fall of both
Kharkov and Rostov was Immin
ent: as to the latter it was stated
that German forces still were ad
vancing east of Taganrog, which
itself is but 30 miles short of Ros
tov. Already, Berlin asserted, the
water section of the immensely
Important soviet oil supply line -running
from Batum, in the --
Caucasus along the eastern ex- -tremity
of the Black sea, had
been cut by the declared fall of
Taganrog, the point-; at which
oil brought by tanker from .the
Caucasus had been transshipped
by rail to Moscow. Alternate
through rail transport was ac
knowledged to be still function
ing, but this route was said to
be in easy range of nasi bomb
ers. The soviet, not conceding the
loss of Taganrog, reported violent
and apparently inconclusive fight'
ing about the town.
German commentators spoke of
the probability that Russian re
inforcements would have to be
brought up for the defense of
the south, implying that these
troops must come from the soviet
far eas tern garrisons, facing
which the Japanese stand in Man
. chukuo.
As to Moscow, the Germans
said very little Monday. An au
thoritative commentary, the
Dienst aus Deutschland, offered
the inference but only that that
fighting had reached points "with
in Moscow's fortifications zone.".
The same agency in effect said
. that the siege of Leningrad was
- likely to be only that for some
time to come, remarking:
"Precipitate prestige attack
n this city, whose every cellar
perhaps la loaded with explo
sives, would now demand un
justifiable sacrifices . . . Lenin
grad's hour, however, will strike
just as sorely as did Kiev or
Odessa's."
This concession that Lenin
grad's fall which had been
claimed as imminent half a dozen
times was still in the unknown
future appeared interesting in
view of the fact that Moscow's in
ner defenses are generally pre
- sumed to be at least as strong,
U not much' stronger.
j; From Moscow the soviet wiife-
Iess spoke only infrequently, but
In one of its broadcasts it deliv
ered a manifesto by Pravda, the
official communist newspaper,
which declared that German
.sses in dead and wounded along
he whole of the Russian front
-now approached 4,000,000, but
added:
v "Still these accursed locusts
come on!"
London informants summed up
the situation generally by saying
that effective Russian counter
: attacks were proceeding at the
center before Moscow; that the
Germans I were having serious
.- trouble in the south in spite of
their claims to large successes,
) and that before Leningrad they
f apparently had been forced from
the offensive to the defense. v
-The soviet itself claimed a se
ries of victories in the far north
about the Arctie port of Mur
mansk which were declared to
have resulted in a general Ger
man withdrawal. Earlier Russian
accounts had stated that the nazis
had been forced back to positions
' they had held more than - three

Paroled Convict
Of Thefts
in Rural Districts
Arthur Simpson Hildebrandt,
the state penitentiary was to have expired in May, was sent to
McMinnville, Monday, by the Marion county sheriffs office after
a series of thefts had assert edly
his automobile license. Hilde
brandt had served two years of a
six-year term for larceny, con
victed in Douglas county.
Hildebrandt told Deputy Sheriff
Pittenger, the officer said Monday
night, that he had stolen- so much
particularly from rural areas In
the past few weeks that he could
not tell where the farm machinery
and building materials found at
his house on Park avenue really
did belong.
The ex-convict, against whom
larceny charges have been filed

said to face similar charges In
Linn, declared Us Illegal activi
ties had been carried on while
he was under the Influence of

at least one occasion he had re
turned some of the loot.'
Plumbing fixtures taken ap
proximately six weeks ago from
a new residence in Carlton, later
returned, "were not among his
acquisitions, he stoutly main
tained, although first suspicion
was cast on him at that time when
a car near the scene of the theft
was traced by its license number
to him. By the time the warrant
for his arrest in that case had
been issued the articles had been
returned.
However, Hildebrandt is said to
have admitted taking wool from
a Linn county warehouse, later re
turning it

the course which we are now
pursuing, and which I have re
peatedly protested. It is a course
which, must inevitably lead to
war." l ... ,
From Senator Pepper (T-Fla)
came the assertion that nhe
time has come for the American
people to pat American might
behind American right and re
ply to Hitler la the only Ian-1
gnage he knows force."
Thus far, the navy has issued
two brief announcements on the
incident The first, last Friday.
said word had been received that
the Kearny, new, 1630-ton de
stroyer, had been torpedoed about
350 miles southwest of Iceland
while on patrol duty but was able
to proceed under her. own power.
No casualties were indicated, the
announcement added.
Then, Sunday night, a second
announcement said the Kearny
had reached a port, not Identi
fied, and reported that II of her
crew were Injured and 1L
"missing.
Officially, the navy continued
Monday to list those 11 as "miss
ing" but men in the service re
garded it as a foregone conclusion
that they were dead blown from
the vessel by the explosion of the
torpedo or trapped and drowned
in watertight compartments which
were closed automatically to pre
vent the entire ship from filling
with water. ' -
Hull made the disclosure that
the Kearny had suffered XI cas
ualties, an occasion for a vigor
ous new denunciation of the
German government
Torpedoing, he said. Is one
more Incident In a series illus
trating the known and confessed
effort of Adolf Hitler to get con
trol of the seas aa weU as of the
continents.
He went on to say that Hitler
has notified all nations to keep out
of an area measuring 1600 by 1500
miles, in other words a large por
tion of the north Atlantic, and has
warned that no nation in self de
fense or otherwise shall send
ship into that area without the
penalty of having it sunk without
a trace.
What Hitler proposes, of course,
the secretary continued, is to drive
other countries off the high seas,
by intimidation or force, as part
of his program of conquest.
Sarcastically, Hull added that
if ships and nationals of other
countries were to oblige Hitler
by getting off the seas he sup
posed the nasi leader next
would want them to ret off the
earth.
Asked if the United States navy
had inflicted any damage on axis
warships since President Roose
velt issued his "shoot first" orders
to the fleet, Hull replied he had
nothing especially new on that
subject and referred his question
ers to the navy department
WASHINGTON, Oct ZfHJPy
A half dosen senators t h r e e
democrats and three republicans
laid the issue of complete re
peal of the neutrality act before
the senate Monday as the for
eign relations committee brush
ed aside minority protests of
"gag rule" to order brief, closed
hearings on the house-approved
armed ship bill.
Hardly had the committee vot
ed, 12 to 9, to begin Tuesday
morning to take testimony from
Secretary of State Hull behind
closed doors, when Senators
Bridges "' NH), Gurney (R-SD)
and Au L.(R-Vt) introduced in
the sent. a resolution to repeal
the entire act
This trio reportedly acted after
a conference with Wendell L.
Willkie, the 1940 republican pre
sidential nominee, who has urged
his party to take the leadership
in attempts to wipe out the neu
trality legislation.
Not i to be outdone. Senators
Pepper (D-Fla), - Lee (D-Okla)
and Green (D-RI) later in the
day offered a repealer which
would leave intact only the law's
provisions giving the president
control over munitions exnorts
from this country.
, (The two inajor features of
the neutrality act as it stands
are (1) a elanse prohibiting- the
arming f merchant ships and
2) a provision preventing such
ships from going Into combat
aones and certain beUiaerent
porta. The armed thlp bit would
nullify the first prohibition
while the neutrality act repeal
era would, of course, wipe out
both restrictions.)
