' . .. FIGHT BITTER
.By JOE ALEX MORRIS
(V.. P. 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withdrawn from the Leningrad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J ploying troops withdrawn by sea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.

excessive benefit payments are be
ing made in the logging industry
. , . might well be addressed to
the legislature, but, we think, have
no place here or before the com
mission, the opinion said.
"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

part of the Soviet government
moved from Moscow, is a compar

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. Winters

am of the Opinion that this is a mat
ter strictly for the state board of
higher education to decide without
pressure groups on either side, and
I doubt the propriety ot our Fed
eration getting into it, and cer
tainly not without hearing the mat
ter discussed fully by those com
petent to discuss it."
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.

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.

vital anti-axis front today is the
one behind which is Moscow.
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.
