Moreover, a strong - jmprove ment in the Russian position about Moscow was plainly suggested both by German silence as to that theatre and by a soviet ' declara tion that the nazis had been halted everywhere .along the central front and were urgently digging in, even emplaclng tanks as sta tionary pill-boxes, in an effort to hold what gains they had made. Hitler, it appeared, had passed at least for the time being from the offensive to the defenswe and was for the moment fighting a mere holding action in the hope of preventing the possible shift of troops from about Moscow to the south. As to the Crimea (see map bottom of pace one) the avail able Information plainly implied that en the approaches to both Sevastopol, the main soviet Black sea naval base, and Kerch, which stands at the northeastern extremity of the peninsula and Is separated by only two miles ef water from the western Cau casus, the nazis had come down te a substantial halt.

JJ JyaV DrOD J A ' Raise Draft Age, Report PHILADELPHIA,' Nov. 5-V Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, na tional director of selective serv- ice, said Wednesday a shortage of manpower may force the gov ernment either to lower the min imum draft age from 21 to 18 or end deferments to older men. Hershey told Wharton school students at . the University . of Pennsylvania that he formerly op posed lowering the age minimum but was , forced by circumstances to change ' his stand. "We have been compelled to reject ever 50 per cent of the individuals who have been call- . ed up for examination so far 150,000 of them because . they .have not reached the fourth grade educational level," he as serted. An additional 1,700,000 men of draft age will be registered for possible -service next July 1, Hershey- told . the students. Unless the draft age is lowered, he de clared, ; however, ? the army's manpower shortage will make it necessary" to 'cancel 'many - defer ments to men 21 to 28 and re examine' men previously rejected because of minor' physical' dis abilities.
