Page Two. Germans Claim 4 Million Reds Killed, Captured (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) and Slovak troops had smashed forward "to the gates ot Kiev," capital of the Soviet Ukraine. Encirclement "With this break-through deep beyond the Stalin line," the com munique went on, "It became pos aible to tum southward in a broad front between the Dniester and Dnieper rivers, cut off the enemy's retreat and begin an encirclement battle which presently is raging at full fury." Declaring that the time had now come to disclose results of "ine tremendous struggle which began with the break-through of the Stalin line," the nazl high com mand asserted: "As apparent from numerous reports, Soviet leadership no long er possesses a reliable picture of the situation on their own front." By contrast, Russia's Vice For eign Commissar S. A. Lozovsky reported that "the process of dis integration of the German army has begun," and that Hitler's blitz krieg legions cracked "when the period of easy victories ended and the period of heavy losses began." Successes Reported In one of the longest communi ques ot the 46-day-old war with Russia, the German high command declared that "successes have been achieved which are surpassing the most optimistic expectations." "It must also be taken Into con sideration that the losses of the Bolsheviks are much bigger than the figures quoted, because the number of their dead Is consider ably much larger than the number of prisoners taken." Previous German estimates have placed the number of Red army killed at twice the number of pris oners. On this basis, the Russians would have lost nearly 1,800,000 slain. "New Theater" "Conscious of their superiority, the German armed forces are ready to begin on a new theater of war the fight which was initi ated by a number of gigantic vic tories," the fuehrer's headquar ters said. There was no Indication of what was meant by "a new theater of war," but presumably it signalled that a big push deeper into the U. S. S. R. was about to begin.

Russian Fight Praised In London, Prime Minister Win' sten Churchill's Deputy Major Cle ment Attlee, deprecated German claims of success ana praised Rus sia's "magnificent fight." "As long ago as July 13," Attlee told the house of commons, "the Germans claimed the Stalin line had been pierced at decisive points and that the roads to Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev were open. "If these roads had been open all these weeks, why have not the Germans marched on their objec tives?" Attlee asserted that Hitler's high command had been "disagreeably surprised" by the fighting quality of Russia's armies and that the Germans had suffered "very heavy losses" In men and material. Despite the intensity of attacks on the Leningrad front, in the deep-driven Smolensk salient, and the twin thrusts into the Ukraine, the Red army declared it was holding firm and; in some sections, driving home counter-attacks. Smolensk Gains Ignored A Moscow communique which reported fighting continuing into a fourth week in the Smolensk area made no mention of German accounts yesterday of a ground gaining push southeast of Smo lensk. Moscow also left unclarified the situation at Kholm, 180 miles south of Leningrad, where fighting had been reported. Germans said the town was in their hands. The Russians declared, however, that on an unspecified sector of the Leningrad, front repeated attacks by the German 16th motorized di vision had been repulsed with Ger man, casualties of at least 1800 men. , . ' German reports of steady- pro gress of encircling moves In the Ukraine were countered by Rus sian statements that the Red army was holding firm in the Korosten sector, 80 miles northwest of Kiev, and the Bel Tserkov sector, 50 miles south of the Ukraine capi tal. 'The Germans reported hav ing captured Bel Tserkov. The Red army said its counter attacks smashed a German infan try regiment near Korosten, kill ing and wounding more than soo Germans and taking many pris oners. Turkey Calmed Delayed dispatches from Ankara said Britain had taken diplomatic steps to calm Turkish fears that her rights would be trampled upon in any post-war settlement. The British ambassador was said to have given Turkey specific as surances that his government would enter into no agreement with Soviet Russia concerning post-war spheres of influence which would infringe on Turkey's interests. British bombers, varying their usual tactics of nightly attacks on northwestern Germany, hit last night at Frankfort, Mannheim, Karlsruhe and other objectives in industrial southwestern Germany. Missing Trusties Will Be Returned SALEM, Ore., Aug. 8 (UK- Warden George Alexander of the Oregon state penitentiary said to day that two trusties who fled from a physician's residence at the prison July 22 had been re porter captured yesterday in Colo rado.

"Dream In France" The national vice president de scribed how France "dreamed" of social security for her people for 20 years, and then saw it swept aside by the German army in two weeks. In the United States there has been much "loose thinking" on the subject ot economic and na tional security. He called for busi ness men and their organizations to "cooperate through their local and national associations to make themselves felt in economic life. A business organization has a much greater responsibility than merely getting new Industries lor a com munity," he continued. J. J. Strike, president of the Idaho Power company from Boise, followed up Johnston's address with a brief resume of economic trends in America. Strike traced the growth of na tional income from $300 per cap ita in 1890 to the $3000 peak in 1929., Coordination Urged Discussing the regular recessions which have appeared on the chart of business, he maintained mat business and labor alike have been attempting to lay the blame on each other's doorstep. He called for an "orderly co ordination" of all groups, business, government, labor, agriculture, to "cusnion" tne economic snoot which is to be expected after this war. "We can't continue to hold our selves un by our own bootstraps," Strike said, commenting on the policy- ef national spending to cushion the effect of depression. The power company executive also showed that American stand ards of living, still based on in comes of 1929. could not be main tained unless incomes actually reached that level. He called for industrial and commercial activ ity through research to create new payrolls, new wealth, and re store the old level. - Defense Class Held Irving Terrell of the Oakland, Cel., chamber led an afternoon class on "Industrial and Defense Activities." He discussed means of locating and handling new In dustries, how to take surveys and present the facts, and also dis cussed defense orders. Edward B. Kennedy, Pomona, Cal.. discussed "Meetings and Committee Management" at the morning session. Wednesday afternoon the sec retaries and trade executives were entertained at a reception spon sored by the Oregon commercial secretaries' association in jonn Straub hall. Winners of the public speaking contest Tuesday evening follow ing the dinner meeting ot the group were Ernest c. Davis, sec retary of the Pendleton chamber, and Berkley Snow, member of the trade executive group. , Oregon Cities Urged To Send In Aluminum SALEM, Aug. 8 G4 All Ore gon cities and towns were asked today by state civilian defense coordinator Jerrold Owen to send their scrap aluminum to Port land this week.
