made, a corridor would be opened
through Finland to Murmansk,
Soviet Russia, cutting oft the
Finnish port of Petsamo. Over
this corridor troops and supplies

said.
3. Norwegians at home have
been reported ready to rebel

message sent by A. B. Tucker,
Montgomery, Ala., president of the
North American gasoline tax con

wrote.
He appealed to the patriotism of

swift fall of Novgorod, also claim
ed the capture of Narva, 81 miles
southwest of Leningrad, and
Kinglsepp, the rail gate to Lenin
grad, 25 miles farther east This
would place the Germans in that
sector within 56 miles of Lenin
grad. Strategic Town Seised
In the critical battle of the
Ukraine, the Germans reported
units of the Waffen S.S. (elite
guard) had seized the strategic
town of Kherson, on the west
bank of the lower Dnieper river,
thereby virtually sealing Red
army troops In the Odessa sector.
DNB, the official German news
agency, said nazi siege guns and
Stuka dive-bombers were raining
havoc on. Odessa, inflicting tre
mendous losses on soviet troops
awaiting embarkation on jammed
quays. Great fires were reported
raging in many parts of the city,
. Amid this desperate plight of
the Red armies in the Ukraine,
unconfirmed reports circulated in
European listening posts that the
Russians had opened or blown
up the great $100,000,000 Dnieper
river dam, near Dnieperopetrovsk,
in an attempt to stem the nazi on
slaught. Built by American engineers,
the dam is 200 feet high and was
the world's largest hydro-electric
plant before the construction of
Boulder dam.
Turkey Threatened
An axis threat to Turkey and the
Turkish . controlled Dardanelles
was reported by foreign diplo
matic sources In Ankara,
These sources said advance
units of two nazi army divisions
had arrived in Bulgaria. Italian
patrols had been scouting the
Turkish-Greek border, and Italian
garrisons on Greek islands near
The Dardanelles had been
strengthened.
Besides claiming the capture of
three key cities in the main Len
ingrad defense ring, Hitler's high
command announced th "crush
ing defeat" and partial destruction
of 25 Russian - divisions about
375,000 troops as well as two
air-borne brigades in a great bat
tle around Gomel, on the central
front, midway between Smolensk
and Kiev.
The Germans said Red army
prisoners taken in battle, origin
ally listed at 78,000, had mounted
to 84,000.
The mention of air-born troops
Indicated that the battle was the
same ' one previously mentioned
by the Soviet army newspaper,
Red Star, which - said Russian
counter-attacks supportedby
aerial troops had blasted the Ger-.
mans out of three defense lines
and recaptured five towns in a
3-day conflict.

Dnieper between Dnieperope
trovsk and Kherson, which lies
20 miles above the mouth Of the
Dnieper. ,
In the critical battle of Lenin
grad, Soviet Marshal Klementi
Voroshilov admitted that the Ger
mans were attacking the city's
approaches and dramatically call
ed on the inhabitants to fight to
the death.
"Stand firm to the end," he
exhorted. "Death to, the bloody
fascist German robbers!"
Reports from Helsinki said Fin
nish columns fighting on the Kare
lian Isthmus had captured the
towns of Viioksenranta and Rai
sala, 85 .miles from Leningrad.
The capital of old imperial Russia
thus was under assault from three
directions.
Germans silent
The Germans were strangely
silent concerning developments in
the Leningrad sector, but - an
nounced a great victory at Gomel,
on the central front south of
Smolensk, in which they said 25
Russian divisions and two bri
gades, of air-borne troops were
partially destroyed.
At least 78,000 Russian troops
and vast quantities of war ma
terial were claimed captured in
this- battle, which apparently
broadened the base of the Smo
lensk salient and provided pro
tection for the right flank of the
nazi spearhead aimed at Moscow.
Berlin observers said the re
ported victory indicated the Ger
mans had succeeded in establish
ing bases for major operations
east of the PInsk marshes, be
tween Smolensk and Kiev, around
which their lines previously had
sagged dangerously to the west.
In Britain, meanwhile, there
were growing demands that the
British army attempt to open a
new front on the continent while
the Germans are engaging with
the Russians in the east. Norway
and Italy were suggested by seme
sources as the most likely points
for an attack.
There was little overnight
action in the air war in the west.
The British said a few German
planes dropped bombs in East
Anelia, but did little damage.
The Germans acknowledged
that Soviet bombers had entered
northern Germany, but minimiz
ed the results of these attacks
and mentioned no British raids.

Plea for Trees
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
that nearly three million acres of
Oregon land are now growing
new lumber crops, varying from
10 to 100 years old,
"If every man and boy and
woman and girl would treat these
tree farms as they treat the land
and crop of an ordinary farm,"
Olzendam said, "we would be
assured of a crop."
The speaker praised the "Keep
Oregon. Qreen" program . for
Dnnging xogetner "unaer one urn.
breua" lumbermen, sportsmen,
foresters, buslnesimen and citizens
in the fight against fire.
If the forests are protected, he
went on, balanced results can be
expected. Labor ' will get fair
wages,, capital will get payment
for the use of its money and
brain, government will get taxec
land the consumer will be able to
purcnase xoresi products as fair
prices.
He warned however, that if any
group takes too much, the bal
anced result will.be lost and the
benefit of Oregon's giant tree
farm will disappear,. ,
The speaker described the
Clemens experimental, tree farm
in Washington and also told of
plans by. Oregon lumbermen to
set up a similar experimental tree-
growing, area.

Nelson Rogers, state forester,
showed how the number of man
caused fires this year at the half
way point in the season ..totaled
only 264, in comparison with a
13-year average of 1113 for each

If this good record is continued
the man-caused fires will be cut
in half this year, he pointed out,
George Peavey, dean emeritus
of the OSC school of forestry, de
clared that the "Keep Oregon
Green" campaign was part of a
"business proposition to ' keep
Oregon's millions of acres of for
