Foreign News Editor) .'Massed German tanks pounded 'to within 40 miles ot Moscow's 'southwest suburbs today and drove deep into the. Donets industrial 'basin, reporting capture Of Sta lino .and advancing strongly to ward Rostov. ' Another German force captured ; the last Russian island stronghold in the Baltic, nazis reported. The island of Dago, under siege since .early in the war, was now in Ger man hands, according to the an nouncement. ', Heavy nazi military forces were withdrawn from the Leningrad ; area -and sped into the slowing drive on Moscow. The Germans claimed the entire ' Baltic area had been cleared of ! Soviet troops. Stalin In Command London reports said that Prem ,ier Josef Stalin has assumed virt- ual personal charge of the defense J of Moscow, touring the advance ! lines in an armored train. The German high command 'claimed the capture of Stalino, im portant steel fabricating center 100 miles northwest of Rostov and said ' the Reich war flag had been hoist , ed yesterday on a large factory hi the town. ' Marshal Semyon Budenny was (reported working desperately to Organize Rostov's defenses, em J ploying troops withdrawn by sea ifrom Odessa and presumably re serves brought up from the Volga 'and Caspian areas. , 338,000 Square Miles Taken . Nazi sources said that in the 'four months of fighting since the t Russian campaign was launched June 22 they have occupied about J 338,000 square miles of Soviet ter , ritory with population of about i 65,000,000, about one third that of J Russia. They now hold 17 of the ,81 largest cities of Russia, the ' spokesman claimed. J The Royal Air Force, checked i lor many days in large scale oper- ations over Europe because of bad J weather, last night was able to resume large-scale action. It at- tacked Bremen, Wilhelmshaven, jEmden and the invasion coast of i France on a fairly large scale with an estimated 200 planes. U ' More Direct Aid Urged Resumption of RAF action came ls a deputation from nine large J London factories submitted to " Prime Minister Winston Churchill ' representations calling for more " direct and immediate aid to Russia and demanding the removal from " office of Capt. David Margesson, I war minister, Viscount Halifax, ambassador to the United States, and other officias charged with be ! ins lukewarm to aid-to-Russla. t. Ankara heard that Germany is ' sending another division, possibly 1 15,000 troops, to North Africa and tnat Italy is dispatching air rein' f orcements, presumably in anticl- , pation of early British offensive action in Libya. t The Turks also heard that Ger .man activity in Greece and Bul- garia is being intensified, possibly in anticipation of operations against i the Caucasus. 3 ELKS ATTENTION!

"If the statute is not workable, then th remedy is with the legis lature, which apparently has al ready seen the necessity Of change in respect of particular pro visions with which we have been dealing," it continued. Under the unemployment com pensation law's seasonality clause, amended by the 1941 legislature, men who work in seasonal indus tries are not paid benefits during seasons in which these industries are closed down. The supreme court decision showed that the corporation had operated during January and February of some years, hence it could not be classed as seasonal. Blood Of Yugoslavia Spills In Civil War (By UNITED PRESS) The London Exchange Telegraph agency quoted Berlin press re ports today that "civil war" was raging In former Yugoslavia and that more blood has been spiuea than Britain had lost in all the war. Since the outset of the Russian- German war, more than 700 Serbs and Croats including women- have been hanged and shot, not counting hundreds killed in fight ing, Exchange Telegaph said. "Hardly any days pass without acts of sabotage, burnings, and re taliations by both sides," it said. Jap Officials Want Stronger Axis Ties TOKYO, Oct. 21 U.E) The members of the house of repre sentatives who comprise the "throne assisting diet members' league" asked the new govern ment today to "strengthen the axis alliance and eliminate chal lenging acts toward third powers hostile to Japan," patently the United States and Great Britain. They, presented a resolution to Premier Eiki Tojo, assuring him and his cabinet of their support, and urging that a super-national defense state be attained so "the world mission of imperial Japan" may be realized. New Governmental Center 550 Miles From Moscow (By UNITED PRESS) The city of Kuibishev (Sa mara), to which diplomats and part of the Soviet government moved from Moscow, is a compar atively modern industrial and farming center on the east bank ot the Volga river, 550 miles from Moscow. Kuibishev, with a population of about 171,000 Russians, Poles, Mordvas, Tartars, Chuvashes and Bashkirs, lies in the province of the same name which stretches on both sides of the easternmost "loop" of the Volga at the junction with the Samara river.

The Lane- county members of the Federation said they would attend the Friday sessions to back up their protests. University offi cials declined to comment in any way on the incident. The "release" came, to the press in an envelope in which the Cor- vallis address of President Bu chanan had been crossed out and Portland stamped in. There was a letter which read: In view of reported commit ment of a majority of the state board of higher education to a proposal affecting pure science courses at the university and the state college, upon which ac tion is to be taken at the state board's meeting at Ashland next Monday and Tuesday, a call has been issued for a meeting of the executive committee ot the Ore gon Taxpayers' Federation at the Imperial hotel, Portland, at 2 p. m. next Friday, Oct. 24. At that meeting the following statement by President Bu chanan of the Federation will be considered. The statement was issued today and released tor publication In order to bring the issue to the attention ot the peo ple of the state. The Buchanan statement read: "Again the taxpayers will be asked to pay the bill for the University of .Oregon and the Oregon State college to renew their feud of the past, and de feat the purpose for which the state unified system of higher education was created. Both in stitutions admit that it will cost the taxpayers money." "Will the board of higher edu cation yield to institutional partisans?" "Will the chancellor take a firm stand tor the people he serves?" "Will the two schools combine to defeat the purpose of the law, and make puppets of the members of the board of highe'r education?" "The answers will be known when the board meets in Ash land Oct. 28. Taxpayers cannot afford to ignore the importance of the next meeting of the board of higher education. The uni versity covets the department of pure science, that was allocated to the college by the Harvey commission, enjoined by state law in 1929, and approved by the board of higher education. For the sake of institutional pride the board has been requested to re instate pure science at the uni versity. No doubt, the college will counter by requesting that commerce, that was developed at the Corvallis Institution, and allocated to the university, be restored to the college. All of which will mean reinstatement of the principle of duplication of courses at the separate insti tutions, and defeat of the prin ciple for which the unified sys tem was created." "It is high time for the tax payers to make their views known to the board of higher education. The board was cre ated to keep each institution in its place, as part' of one great state university instead of sep arate, complete, competing in stitutions. Taxpayers are en titled to know why the board has chosen to receive the chan cellor's recommendation and take action on this important matter at the meeting in Ashland as far as possible from interests involved. It appears that the board of higher education is likely to take action that will leave the taxpayers holding the sack." One of Mr. Stevenson's advance notices read: October 18, 1941 To the executive committee: There will be a meeting of the executive committee of the Ore gon Taxpayers' Federation at the Imperial hotel in Portland, Friday, Oct. 24, at 2 p. m. Current tax problems will re ceive attention, and plans will be discussed for the annual meeting in December. AU members of the executive committee are urged to be pres ent, and other interested tax payers are invited to attend. Fire Destroys Portland Buildings PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 21.

Middle East Battles Loom (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) conquest of Europe. As long as Britain's naval power holds out, he is handcuffed. Hitler's problem is to defeat Britain. If he cannot do it by di rect assault, he is likely to try it in the Mediterranean basin, throwing in the punch which his ; Italian ally lacks. . Removal of i Russia as a military factor in his j rear apparently was considered a necessary preliminary. Building for a Year Britain has been busy, building up' her defenses in the Middle East for more than a year. Step by sten she lined up Syria, Iran, Iraq and now Afghanistan in a solid front from the Mediterranean clear across the northern border, of India. To defend this frontier. Britain has her - Middle Eastern army under Lieut. Gen. C. J. E. Auchin leck. Prime Minister Churchill disclosed more than a month ago that this army numbered more than 750.000. It may be 1,000,000 by now. Back of this force is the Indian army under Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell. When Wavell was transferred from the Middle Eastern- command to India, some observers suspected that it ' was promotion to a more important task rather than a rebuke for British reverses in North Africa. That surmise appears . to have been borne out. The Indian army now numbers 750,000 and soon will be 1.000,000. Recruiting is goins; on at the rate of 50,000 a month. It is well equipped and is being whipped into shape by a man often re ferred to as a military fenius. "Trouble" Avoided Britain's move in getting the nazis expelled from Afghanistan was not due to fear of a uerman invasion through the Khyber pass, but to prevent them from stirring up trouble among the hill tribes men. General Wavell's frrny would not wait In India until the Germans reached there by . the Caucasus route, but undoubtedly would move into the Middle East to loin forces with Auchinleck. That is the present picture of the next German-allied battle ground. It will be an extended one if fighting is renewed in North Africa at the same time. Things have been rather suspic iously quiet along the Libyran EgVDtian frontier for some time. With the arrival of winter and the end of the terrific heat, fight ing conditions there are now right for a campaign. Ankara reported today that the Germans were re inforcing their North African forces with a division of about 15,000 men and that the Italians, are sending air reinforcements.

FHA Will Continue Residential Loans Word has been received from the office of Folger Johnson, Ore gon state director for the FHA, that the recent ruling of the supply priorities and allocations board forbidding the start of pri vate construction which would use critical materials essential to the nation's defense, was not an indi cation that FHA would stop pro cessing loan applications originat ing in Eugene. . It was stated that the avail-1 ability of manufactured materials ! would be the .real control over the building program for the fu ture. It is understood that so long as the dealer has materials, such as nails, plumbing fixtures, hard ware; etc., evailable, no curtail ment in building of private homes is in force in areas not designated as critical or priority areas. Recently the office of produc tion management selected the FHA field offices to assist in preparing applications for preference ratings on residential building projects. These preference ratings are lim ited to areas designated as critical areas. It should be remembered that the FHA does not lend money, but merely insures mortgage loans submitted by approved lending institutions, Johnson said. So long as lenders and builders can satisfy themselves that materials are available locally, the FHA has given assurance they will not re fuse mortgage Insurance on loans which nre ecenomically sound.

There are three air routes to Moscow or soon will be. The United Press was informed that American-made bombers already are winging to the Soviet union "over the top of the world" by way of Canada and Alaska. Other sources said American bombers had been delivered in Moscow, al though not in great numbers, and by a route other than via Canada and Alaska. In any event, all the planes delivered by whatever route apparently were ordered by the British under lend-lease auth ority and were diverted by the British to the Red army. Airplanes could be delivered via Alaska, they could be flown to Great Britain and thence to the Soviet union or they could cross the South Atlantic and Africa and enter the Soviet union from the south. The Canadian government has allocated $9,000, ,000 (M) for four wilderness air ports on the Alaska-Soviet union route and hundreds of Canadian defense workers cleared those areas. They have been far enough advanced for use. for some time. Some of the Canadian funds may have been provided by the United States government. OIL CIRCULATORS No ashes, no wood to split.
