The Russians have announced
tov. at the uortal of the Caucasus,
defense line is tottering all along the lower Don rrom tne Rostov
area eastward to the great bend of the river 50 miles or less
from Stalingrad and the Volga.
The same communique telling
of the withdrawal from Rostov,
which the red army wrested back
from the Germans last winter re
ported abandonment of Novocher
kassk, 20 miles to the northeast
of Rostov. Earlier, Moscow ad
mitted at least two bridgeheads
on the south bank of the Don
were in enemy hands east of the
Donets inflow.
Novocherkassk is several miles
upstream on a small river flowing
Into the Don from the north.

It tends to confirm the lmpres-.

necessity of obtaining new and
considerable oil sources before
winter closes la again. The tre
mendous scope of his offensive
operations in Russia Is drawing
heavily on his reserve stocks
of natural or synthetic fnels, as
Is his long-distance sea blockade

Even with pipeline or rail eon

broken, Russian needs could be

There can be small doubt, how
ever, that very considerable Rus

however, favored ratim
future issues.
The treasury had estimated
that taxation of outstanding issues
would raise about $200,000,000
but taxes on future issues were
calculated to yield only about
13,000,000 in the first year.
The group was said to have
voted 9 to 6 to hold open for
future study the; question of
changing oil and mining deple
tion calculation methods.
A huge increase in taxation, so
that half the government's ex
penditures would be met out of
current revenue instead of bor
rowing, was advocated by Sena
tor Wiley (R-wis)
"We should not consider for
one moment passing on to the
following generation more than
50 per cent of the cost of this
war," he said in a senate speech.
"If we do we are lickers.
The pending $6.271,O,00e

nues to a total of only $21,-
000,000,000, he said, as against
prospective war expenditures of
72,000,000,000 daring the next
12 months.
Wiley suggested "timid, minc
ing steps" be abandoned; that
congress raise $36,000,000,000 by
taxation and insist Americans buy
$36,000,000,000 in war bonds
All senators voting for this
plan, he said, could demonstrate
leadership by pledging one-third
of their net incorne to the pur
chase of government bonds
The senate finance committee
heard a proposal for "advancing
the clock" on income tax collec
tions by collecting a treasury
bookkeeping operation which
would credit this year's payments
on 1942 instead of 1941- taxes,
making collections current there
after,
Beardsley Rami, of R, K.

plan, he said, would cancel

Germans Across
In Giant Battle

terminus for Caucasian oil and !

A SOT. 1
Tuesday's war bulletin said ot
the Tsimlyansk area:
"The enemy repeatedly at
tempted to cross the river. Fight
ing is. going on with fluctuating
successes.
"In one sector the Germans suc
ceeded in pushing, forward but
were stemmed by a counter-attack
of soviet troops and lost during
this engagement 350 officers and
men killed."
The phrase "fluctuating suc
cesses" bore out press dispatches
which acknowledged the Germans
were flowing across the Don de
spite the wrecking of numerous
nazi pontoons by soviet airmen
and artillery.
The "retreat south of Rostov
further endangered the Soviets
because it increased the possibili
ties of a nazi attack on the red
flank from the German-held
Crimea.
The outlook for the Russians
was admittedly darker than
ever now because the soviet
people had hoped the Don bar
rier would be held at any cost.
Bat all Russian dispatches re
peatedly emphasised the nu
merical superiority of the at
tacking nasi army.
Not only is the Caucasus rich
in oil and grain, but it is the gate
way for allied supplies from the
middle' east Its severance from
the Russian hinterland would be
an eitremely heavy-jolt to the red
military machine.
The Germans also have the ad
vantage of several months of good
fighting weather ahead.
Only in the Voronezh area 300
miles north of Rostov were the
Russians claiming any distinct sue
cess. There the red army was re-
oorted to have made another
crossing of the Don to the western
bank after wiping out thousands
of nazi troops.
But the Russian successes in the
Voronezh area thus far have not
endangered the left nazi flank
enough to stem the southeastward
German tide which threatens the
Caucasus and Stalingrad on the
Volga communications route.
Russian dispatches said the
lawer Don river between Ros
ter and Tsimlyansk was
breached only at terrific cost to"
the Germans hot the Germans
dM cross.
Thousands of dead Germans lit'
tered the banks of the river or
slipped downstream in the swift
current along the smashed pon
toons, these dispatches said. But
long coils of German reserves al
ways were there to take the place
of the fallen, the Russians ad
mitted. -
This new, surging enemy tide
and bracing central resistance by
the red armies, coupled with aerial
warfare of a scope and intensity
hitherto unexceeded turned this
encounter of tangling masses into
one of the greatest battles of his
tory.
It was obviously the most im
portant battle fought on Russian
soil since the Germans first
crunched into Russia's western
buffer front on June 22 last year.
The oil, mineral and agricultural
riches of the Caucasus are at stake
and with them Russia's-southern
lifeline from her allies in the mid
dle east. 1
Both the Germans and the Rus
sians put on a terrific show in
the skies, accordin gto advices
reaching Moscow.
Day and night the . heavens
were filled with ' fighters and
bombers, the Russians drawtng
heavily en planes from the
United States. The rear and
whine of planes in twisting em
bat, the blasting of aerial eaa-
. Bon and thnnderoas baurst of
bombs at times blanketed the
tamali of battle aground.
' The whole Steppe land inside
the Don bend and the river slopes
in places were splotched by the
wildfire of battle. Fires spread
through the - ripening grain field
which provided ideal terrain for
tanks maneuvering by the hun
dreds. -J. r;;v- ";-,

Oregon Only
Last Resort
The battleship Oregon should
not be scrapped until all other
sources of material have been ex
hausted. This is the opinion of
Acting Secretary of the Navy
James Forrestal as stated in a let
ter received Monday by Gov.
Charles A. Sprague.
According to Forrestal, the re
quest to the governor that the
ship be scrapped was made by
the Seattle office of the war pro
duction board without the knowl
edge of the navy department and
the governor's answer to the
board was correct. He added that
the WPB had no authority to have
the vessel scrapped, since it be
longed to the navy and could be
disposed of only by the navy.
Although the need for metals Is
great, Forrestal said, "memorials,
such as the battleship Oregon,
representing in their being the
spirit and traditions of the navy
and of the country It represents,
Constitute a distinct morale fac
tor, and should be preserved until
all other sources of materials have
been exhausted."

istry said, relatively little damage
was caused.
The big Blohm and Voss ship
yards, said to be capable of build
ing 23 submarines at a time, were
believed to have been one of the
RAFs principal targets at Ham
burg. Other objectives were the sea
plane factory, oil refineries, ex
plosive works and miles of docks
which have been battered six
times this year and 91 since the
start of the war. The last attack
on the port was the night of May
3.
The air ministry news service
said the wave of bombers dropped
all the explosives they could carry
in one concentrated blast at the
city.
The second wave swept over
within 33 minutes, showering
down high explosives and incen
diaries.
"Much of the old town was on
fire," the news service reported.
"There were fires all around Aus-sen-Alster
lake, and there were
many in the dock area."
Pillars of black smoke were
rising but as yet they were not
drifting over the town. The tar
get was clearly exposed for the
attack of the last wave of
bombers, and these were fully
loaded with high explosives, in
cluding many 400-pound
bombs."
Appearance of US army fighter
pilots in weekend RAF forays over
the continent further tipped the
scales in favor of the allies in the
long struggle for mastery of the

The pilots are flying British

WASHINGTON. Julr 27W
A fleet of giant cargo and troop
carrying planes was proposed in
the senate Monday as the onlv
w ,
answer to the submarine menace.
Youthful Senator Leo (D
Okla) solemnly told his colleagues
air-born transportation offered
tne "only possible chance we have
of winning this war." It is folly,
he said, to continue trvins tn
"biuld ships faster than Hitler can
sink them." r
His resolution, calling for a sn.
cial board to start immediate con.
struction, was referred to the mili
tary aiiairs committee.
Lee said It had been estimator
10 per cent of Hitler's airplane pro-
auction was devoted to giant fly-
ins: DOatS- but that Trrn am ns.
too small for United States needs.
Our communication lines are
many times longer than Hitler's
and therefore the percentage of
production devoted to transpor
tation must be greater than that
required for Hitler's needs."
Under Lee's resolution, th
centage of shipbuilding caoacitv
mai wouia be diverted to building
flying boats would be left to th.
supply board composed of the sec
retaries of war and navv. the ad
ministrator of war shipping ad
ministration . and the chairman of
tne war production board.
