PAGE TWO Kill Opens All World Ports Senate Group Okehs New Measure for US Ships ; Fight Seen (Continued from Page 1) : i speech making because the com mittee approved repeal of the neutrality act's prevision for bidding American saerehant men from entering belligerent ports r ; designated combat : areas. ' -.-:v " I." Nye and Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich), another dministratlon foe, said there was no intention to filibuster but Nye added that "this is the last step we take be fore actually entering " the war, and it is an issue which quite normally would call for speeches by close to 96 senators." The committee bill, approved after four days of hearings, would carry out President Roosevelfs recent . recommendations regard ing shipping. In a special message to eon tress on Oct , Mr. Roosevelt asked amendment of the neu trality act as qnickly as possible In order to permit arming of merchant ships against "the modern pirates of the sea." He also asked that congress give early attention to removal of restrictions "keeping our ships oat of the ports of oar own friends." To refuse to permit American ships to carry supplies to Eng land, the president said, was in effect inviting control of the seas by the nazis. Mr. Roosevelt's proposals re ceived the backing of Wendell L. Willkie, the 1940 republican presidential nominee. In New York, Willkie said In a statement Saturday's eommlt . tee action was "very gratifying" and added he hoped that M a very large number of the re publican members of congress will support the movement and Insure the early passage of this amendment. Willkie reiterated, however, that 1939 neutrality act should be re pealed entirely "as a firm decla ration of America s moral post Hon in the present world strug- gle." Senator Gurney (R-SD), who recently joined with Senators Austin (R-Vt) and Bridges (R NH) to propose complete repeal of the act, told reporters that proposal would be offered" from the senate floor.

Moreover, the Germans oithut tiu nnhM rf h v 1 ran town of Belgorod, 4? miles north of Kharkov, on the main line to Moscow. The soviet Sunday morning communique, broadcast 'from Mos cow, said that fighting continued in the Mazkaisk and Maloyaro slavets directions from which Moscow is menaced. In .the south where no mention was made of Kharkov " the fighting was placed In the Taganrog and Ma- keevka directions near the east ernmost point of the Sea of Azov. ' Dispatches from Kuibyshev, auxiliary soviet capital, ac knowledged that the hoar ef crisis had arrived la the 24-day-eld struggle for Moscow and that the Germans were also pressing furious new of fensives Into the Crimea and at the approaches to Rostov-on-Don, gateway to the vital Cau casus eO fields.' One of the fiercest battle of the entire rent was reported raging at Tagmnrojr, only SI miles west of Rostov. Still there was no word from London on British troops going to help beleaguered allies, but straws In the wind indicated that if the Germans take Rostov and turn south into the Caucasus, Gen. Sir Archibald Pi WaveU's middle east army of 1,000,000 Im perial soldiers will move north from Iran (Persia) to meet mem. A hint to this effect was voiced by Britain's foreign secretary, An thony Eden, following outspoken demands In the house of com mons on Thursday for concrete action to aid the Soviets. The government," he said, -would dare any action where we believe hazards to be Justified undismayed, I hope, by dangers. and unprovoked by clamor." fie said he could not disclose when Britain would strike, or "even that we win strike," but ho declared that hi the middle east British relnforeements and supplies had been moving con tinuously "to the unbroken al lied front stretching from the Caucasus through Persia, Iraq, Palestine and . Egypt to .the western desert" - x . ' . , . An Ankara - radio broadcast heard In New York by NBC, said t was understood in the Turkish capital that Britain and Russia already had decided upon a Joint command for the Caucasus front which may be opened up , as a defense line. As the war ended its 18th Week, with Moscow and Berlin listing total casualties of more than 10,- 000,000 killed and wounded on both sides, German military com mentators spoke freely of Mos cow's "zero hour" and the Rus sians conceded that vast num bers of grey-clad nazl troops had engulfed several towns at the point of greatest danger. In the Mozhaisk sector, 57 miles west of Moscow. But the Russians stoically re fused to concede any prospect but ultimate defeat for Hitler's Invasion armies. S. A. Losov- sky, official soviet spokesman. declared confidently that the German candle was burning Its brilliant last before guttering out and that the new iXoseew drive "if not the last, is eae of the last big-scale German of fensives." The vast slaughter of nazl re - serves and depletion of war ma terials, he said, would, henceforth stall , the German blitzkrieg ma- cnine. -. Soviet dispatches said the near - est German troops were more than 50 miles from he red capi- tal, countering unconfirmed Ber- lin radio reports that nazl spear- heads had thrust within 20 miles of the barricaded city. t 5 The Russians said tno main theaters Of action Were at Moz - haisk, 57 miles west; Kaluga, 90 miles southwest; Maloyaroslavets, 65 miles southwest and 'Kalinin, 95 miles northwest . .

Because of the Illness of one pilot only 11 of the 12 available planes were flown during the per formance which occupied ap proximately two hours. From es- haloa formation used when air forces pass in review through varying series of flight figures the 11 planes circled out from the air port over the city, where thous ands of other watchers took ob servation posts on their own front porches. Watchers at the airport found aa especial thrill In a dive bombing formation that brought the entire group low above the field and took them speeding away, ,.

Dusard, commanding offi cers of the 84th and 38th pursuit squadrons, respectively,' who chased balloons to a height of several thousand feet flew across the field at 350 miles an hour and, turned back on their courses by slow roll and looping processes, eliciting gasps and applause from the crowd . below. A "dog-fight in which the two planes circled and fenced closed the field day show. During the entire afternoon, be fore, during and after the exhi bition In the air, thousands of curious persons of varying ages climbed a temporary stairway and walked over the ramp built above a wing of one of the planes.
