Nazis Threaten
Key Cities in
Ukraine Drive
By The Associated Press
Russia threw great masses
of reserves into the 19-weeks-old
struggle against Adolf
Hitler's invasion armies Sat
urday night as the Germans
momentarily threatened to
capture the key city of Rostov-on-Don,
gateway to the
Caucasus oil fields, and the
munitions center of Tula 100
miles south of Moscow.
On the fighting front, the Ger
mans were smashing full -blast
across the upper Donets river,
marking all but the end of the
trans-Ukraine drive, in an appar
ent effort to cut off the line of
United States war supplies to the
USSR via the middle east.
A bulletin from Hitler's head
quarters said nazi troops had
crossed the Donets river at sever
al points, presumably in a wide
flanking sweep to engulf Rostov-
on-Don, and that German and
Rumanian troops were advancing;
into the Crimea-peninsula in "pur-
stilt of retreating soviet forces.
" German military spokesmen
declared emphatically that Rus
sia's winter snows the factor
that spelled disaster for Napol
eon on his drive to .Moscow in
1812 would mean no halt in
the campaign. Germany is pre
pared "to the last detail" fer

HYDE PARK, NY, Nov. 1-iP)-President
Roosevelt and Prime
Minister W. L. Mackenzie King of
Canada discussed Saturday the
mutual problems of neighbor na
tions whose parallel national poli
cies are dedicated to the defeat of
hazism.
King arrived at the Roosevelt
home from Ottawa Saturday
morning and before he left his
private railway car he gave re
porters a clue to the scope of his
discussions with Mr. Roosevelt.
"It would not surprise me," he
said, "if all phases of the situa
tion concerning the two nations
should come op in the course of
the conservations. We shall talk
about everything, I expect."
That statement opened the way
for the president and prime min
ister to concern themselves with
such broad subjects as the whole
trend of. the fighting in Europe,
the plight of Russia arid her need
of help, the battle of the Atlantic,
what Japan may do in the Pacific
