O There Is little doubt that the president's much discussed re mark on freedom of religion in Russia was a mistake by Mr. , Roosevelt. Even allowing for misquotation and misinterpreta tion, on the face of the recorded transcript it was a mistake. It was obviously intended, on the eve of congressional debate on "lease-lend" aid to Russia, to deodorize the communist anti religion stench In the nostrils of an American people who, from the beginning, have shown themselves willing to sacrifice anything for freedom of every man to worship In accordance with the dictates of his own con science. It was a mistake because too many people know that it is a prize principle of communism that religion is an opiate dope that persuades people to bear A with governmental tyrannies and to solace themselves with a trust in God, who, in the philo sophy of Marx, Lenin and Stalin, simply does not exist. e A whole new generation has been reared In "holy Russia" tn a rigid education in this philo sophy. Her religious shrines have been deformed. She is anti religious in her religion. Re gardless of any so-called Russian constitutional declarations re gardless of any "declaration" by Stalin for religious liberty, he couldn't reverse the principles of his own Hfe-time, he couldn't undo in a proclamation his work on the minds of Russian youth at least he couldn't do it effec tively enough to carry conviction (Continued on Page Five) Portland, Oct. 6. (AP) Southern Oregon Granges have been asked by Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, state health officer, to discontinue offering bounties on certain rodents because of the danger of spreading bubonic plague. He said that because of two plague deaths In northern Cali fornia this summer, and because the parasites had been found on rodents in southeastern Oregon, it was advisable that none be handled. The last plague death In Ore gon was in Lake county in 1934, i Strieker said.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 8. The New York Yankees won the World series today, four games to one, as they defeated the luckless Dodgers, 3 to 1, In a tense struggle marked by a near free-for-all fight between the rival players In the fifth in ning. "Tiny" Bonham, 200-pound Yankee mound star, subdued the Dodgers with four hits to best Whitlow Wyatt in a stirring pitching duel before the largest crowd of the three-games here 34,072. Wyatt allowed only six safeties and struck out nine bat ters, but lost the battle in the second inning when he Issued a walk to Charley Keller and was solved for singles by Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon. Score In Third The Dodgers gained their lone run In the third, which Wyatt opened with a double to left, reached third on an infield hit and scored on Pete Reiser's out field fly. From there on until the final out of the series in the ninth inning they got only one more blow off Bonham, a single by Walker In the eighth. Hot tempers flared In the fifth, when Joe DIMaggio of the Yankees, irked by the fact that he had been struck out his first two times at bat and angered at several pitches that had made him duck, strode toward Wyatt on the pitching mound, saying what he thought about It. Wyatt started to meet htm, and Instantly both players were surrounded by their hair-trigger teammates, begging for trouble. The umpires tore into the center of the mass to hold DiMaggio and Wyatt apart, and after a moment of uncertainty DiMaggio per mitted another Yankee to lead him back to the dugout There obviously was bad blood be tween the two teams at the con clusion of the hot intra-clty series.

Death Takes Brandeis, Famed Liberal Jurist Washington, Oct. 6. P Death has ended the career of Louis Dembitz Brandeis, noted liberal Jurist and first Jew ever named to the supreme court The former associate Justice," long a sufferer from a heart ail ment, died shortly after 7 o'clock last night It was heart trouble which prompted his retirement from the supreme court on Feb ruary 13, 1030, and a severe at tack at his home here Wednes day led to his death. He was 84. The family announced that the funeral, for which arrangements were incomplete, would be strictly private and requested that no flowers be sent. Me morial services would be held later, the announcement said. Brandeis, who summed up his own philosophy of life as "high thinking and simple living,'' had no experience as a Judge when President Wilson nominated him for associate Justice in 1918. But he was nationally known for his activity In and out of court on behalf of labor unions and against "high finance." Particu larly notable was his battle against a project to unite eastern rail, trolley and coastal steam ship lines under the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail road. Because of his social views his nomination to the court preci pitated acgrlmonious debate and protracted hearings. It was not until four months after his nomination was sent to the sen ate on January 28, 1918, that It was confirmed by a vote of 47 to 22, with 27 not voting. Brandeis was born in Louisville.- He studied in schools there and In the Realschule of Dresden, Saxony, then the Har vard law school. He practiced law in St. Louis In 1878 and moved next year to Boston, i He was married la 1891 to CCC Youth Calls President "Bud" Asking Ride in Hyde Park, N. Y., Oct 6.

By the Associated Praas 1 A vast new German offensive, with Moscow perhaps aa its principal goal and the siege of Leningrad subordinated, ap peared to be emerging today oa the long eastern front It was possible that Germany was straining every muscle for a swift victory in Russia so aa to be able to present Britain and her allies with a matter accom plished and an offer of "peace" before the end of the year. Information reaching Cairo, including that brought by aa American Just arrived from German controlled territory. was that Hitler would offer peace to both Britain and the United States before 1942, lgnor. tog Britain meanwhile except to, carry out reprisals in kind for air attacks en Germany. Husgea Oa Russia All this pivots immediately of course, on the chance Hitler has of knocking Russia out of tha war and building hi "new order" in Europe. The forecast of the peace of fer gained considerable credence In both British and Amerrlcais diplomatic quarters at Cairo. Authoritative sources in Lon don which have been calling tha turn of the gigantic struggle, now in its 18th week, said tha offensive "on a very consider able scale" bad been launched all along tha front with tha possible exception of the Lenin grad area where German activ ity seemed to have dwindled. The offensive may be tha "gigantic" operation of which Adolf Hitler hinted in his sports pa last speech last Friday. At least that was the line taken by German commentators. Like Mew Campaign Berlin, however, gave no Indi cation of the goal of the new drive, but Dlenst Aus Deutsch land, a commentary close to offi cial circles, said the operations were so great as to be "similar to the opening of a new cam paign." A Russian move on tha out side of the Leningrad siege lines apparently was timed with a thrust from the Inside, but tha Germans said that It too, was shattered with "heavy and bloody losses" for tha Russians. "Troops which were landed west of Leningrad were wiped out or taken prisoner," a com munique said. "Several fully laden ships were sunk and 23 tanks, including seven of super heavy types were destroyed." On Germany's air fronts, tha high command announced a Rus sian port on the sea of Azov was bombed, along with an Import ant traffic Junction west of Mos cow and military objectives In Leningrad, a 2,300-ton British vessel was sunk 230 miles west of Brest and British military emplacements were bombed In the Shetland Islands.
