The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, July 231312 pace czvnr a 1 if is great. It seems possible that what the Germans call a red col lapse in the Rostov sector is In fact the beginning of a Russian evacuation of the right bank of the Don at that point, including the main portion of Rostov city itself which lies on that (north) bank. By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Wide World War Analyst for Tha Statesman The gravity of the situation in Russia is underscored by the nazls' boasts that they have crossed the lower Don. on wide front east of the Donets confluence. .If that is true, Marshal Timoshenko'i position on the left flank of his 300-mile Don battle front is critical. A nazi surge west-. ward along the left bank of the Don could force a precipitate Rus sian retreat from the whole north western sector of the Caucasus to escape encirclement. ' Timoshenko'i main reliance for its defense is the widening lower Don below the Donets confluence to the Sea of Azov. That 90 mile span of the Don, with its multiple mouths west of Rostov, forms the strongest natural barrier to mech anized attack discernible on the whole 2000 mile nazi-Russian front v . " The German claim to have breached the Don narrows higher up above the Donets Juncture 70 miles east of Rostov indicates an attempt to out-flank the main red defenses of the! Caucasus before Timoshenko's troops had even set tled down behind that barrier for a last stand. Not only Rostov, on the right bank of the river, but aocess to the system of railroads, highways and pipelines that le: d up from the south to cross the Don at that point is in imminent The sltoatlon Is brighter eastward. A nasi targe vp the wit uiu vi uio xnm irvn luti claimed erossings would carry them to the Volga southeast of Italingrad and mean a com . plete rupture between Russian forces in the Caucasus and those driven behind the lower Volga with their flank on the Caspian. That new appears the snajor de sign of the German offenaire, and it is terribly close to realisa tion.

Senate Passes RubberBill Would Provide for Enough 'Synthetic For Civilians WASHINGTON, July 22 -UP) Brushing aside administration op position, the senate passed Wed nesday a measure to create an in dependent agency for the produc tion of synthetic rubber from grain alcohol. Democratic Leader JBarkley of Kentucky complained ; that " the bill would deprive the war pro duction board of control over much of the rubber Droeram and declared that if it should be pass ed by the house, "I should hope fervently that the president would disapprove it Berkley's plea found no echo among his colleagues, however, and the measure passed without a record vote, He conceded that supporters of the bill, including a bloc of farm state senators, had sufficient votes ' for passage when he took the floor in opposition as the ses sion opened. However, Barkley said he felt duty-bound to repeat WPB Chair man Donald M. Nelson's warning to the agriculture committee that it would be a "rash act" to build new rubber production facilities with critical materials needed for airplanes, tanks and guns. The bill, which goes to the house Thursday, provides for an agency empowered to conduct re search, enter Into contracts and lend money to encourage manu facture of rubber from products of the farm and forest The agency's director would be charged with producing enough synthetic so that the total supply from all sources would be suffi cient to meet civilian as well as military needs. Barkley pointed out that the 800,000 tons projected for next year included 200,000 tons of syn thetic rubber from alcohol and said the bill would take from Nelson "responsibility for this production."

(Associated Press Telemat) Workor Fight Order Issued To Oregon Shipyard Workers PORTLAND, July 22-(VThe navy issued a work-or-f ight order to Oregon shipyard workers Wednesday and the federal manpower commission began preliminary steps for more effective control and distribution of war labor. An order signed by Cmdr. Charles Hibbard, supervisor of navy shipbuilding in Oregon, urged companies holding naval contracts to keep a record of em ployes' draft numbers and boards.
