BREAK TIE IN 8TH
TO TAKE CONTEST
Slaugter and Musial Couple
Double and Single For
Much Needed Score.
By Lta H. Petersen
(United Press Sports Editor)
Sportsman's Park, St. Louis,
Oct. 1. (U.R) The St. Louis
siege guns came through in the
eighth inning today to give the
Cardinals a 4 to 3 victory over
the New York Yankees and
even the World series at one-all.
Enos Slaughter and Stan
Musial, the heart of the Card
inal batting order, coupled a
double and a single wth two
out to break a tie the Bronx
Bombers had achieved in their
half of the eighth in a typical
Yankee hitting spurt.
Johnny Beazley. the National
league rookie sensation bested
Ernie (Tiny) Bonham but was
in frequent trouble and poor
Yankee base running averted
disaster for the freshman star
in the ninth..
Pitching before his mother
and three high school classmates
whom he had promised seats to
the first World series game in
which he pitched, Beazley had
the Yankees shutout for seven
innings and was coasting under
a three-run lead, but he barely
managed to finish.
The first two Cardinal runs
were due to a bad decision on
Bonham's part.t - Tiny, whose
control is one of his biggest as
sets, walked Jimmy Brown, the
St. Louis leadoff hitter in the
first inning. He nicked ur
Terry Moore's sacrifice bunt and
elected to try for a forceout at
second. But Brown beat his
throw by a headlong slide.

No One Getting Rich
In Scrap Metal Drive
- Headquarters, Camp White (Spl.V "No Individual or busi

This statement was made today by Major Lyman V. Wil

scrap metal drive now in progress in Jackson county, In an
swering a general misapprehension on the part of the general
public regarding huge profits being made from the sale of the
collected scrap metals.
"I think It high time," said
Major Williamson, "to scotch
rumors that certain firms and
individuals are profiteering in
scrap. Every bit of metal scrap
collected by the Army In this
drive and by other governmental
agencies In similar campaigns is
sold to licensed scrap dealers

STALINGRAD SEEN
LAST NAZI GOAL
IN EASTFOR 1942
Critical Hour Appears Near
Hitler Hurls in Masses
of Reinforcement Troops.
By Harrison Salisbury
United Press Correspondent
The critical hour of the battle
of Stalingrad appeared at hand
today amid mounting indications
that the Volga River traffic cen
ter constitutes the final Nazi
military objective in the East
for 1942.
Russian dispatches reported
that masses of Nazi reinforce
ments were being thrown into
the battle, particularly in the
northwestern sector where they
were met by sharp Soviet coun
terattacks. Reds Best Rumanians
South of the beleaguered city
Russian troops bested Rumanian
detachments and drove them out
of three villages and 350 miles
to the northwest in the Voron
ezh sector a Soviet diversionary
attack had put the Nazis on the
defensive.
A dispatch in the government
newspaper Pravda revealed that
Josef Stalin, himself, had laid
down defensive plans for Stal
ingrad as the battle was opening
38 days ago.
Alexander Chuyanov, Com
munist party secretary in Stalin
grad, reported Ibat. Stalin tele
phoned him personally as the
Nazi attack Wat being launched
and ordered that "all panic-
mongers and cowards be elim
inated.
Chuyanov revealed that
Stalin, who directed the defense
of the city in the . civil war of
1918, also offered suggestions on
organization of th defense of
the key point against the Nazi
assault.
Civilians Mobilised
These suggestions, Chuyanov
reported, had been carried out
in the mobilizing of civilian
workers to aid the Red army.
A Polish government spokes
man in London revealed that
the Germans had made two re
cent attempts to get in touch
with the Polish government-in-
exile in an apparent attempt to
launch talks for a negotiated
peace.
A Norwegian government
spokesman reported the Ger
mans have arrested 1,400 per
sons in Norwegian coastal areas
as part of Nazi precautions
against opening of a second
front in that region.
German reports laid heavy
emphasis on the strength of Rus
sian counterattacks, asserting
that one Russian attack on the
northern Stalingrad front was
paced by 100 British and Amer
ican tanks. Berlin insisted, now
ever, that the Soviet blow was
parried and that "98 out of 100"
tanks were destroyed.

IN EFFORT TO CUT
Nip Warships Prowl Waters
in Attempt to Intercept
Supply, Transport Ships.
Washington, Oct. 1 (U.R)
Reports from the Solomon Is
lands indicated today that the
Japanese are trying desperately
to disrupt sea communication
lines to American occupation
forces on Guadalcanal.
Japanese warships apparently
are prowling in the waters
around the southwestern Solo
mons in an effort to intercept
American supply vessels and
transports.
The navy disclosed last night
that the enemy succeeded in
sinking the auxiliary transport
Gregory by gunfire recently off
Guadalcanal.
In the same communique re
vealing loss of the Gregory, the
navy belatedly disclosed the de-l
struction of the 8,378-ton naval
transport George F. Elliott, the
former Liner City of Los An
geles. The Elliott was lost on Au
gust 8, as the result of fires
started when a Japanese plane
crashed into the ship
- Those losses brought to seven
the number of American ships
sunk in the Solomons campaign.

mons include 28 ships sunk or
damaged and 209 planet de

Australian troops have cap

mountains of New Guinea and
are continuing their advance, it
was announced today.
After taking the Iorlblwa
ridge in the first phase of their
offensive four days ago, the Aus
tralians pressed forward yester
day to take the Nauro creek and
ridge 10 miles to the north.
They captured quantities of
Japanese supplies and equip

Congressional leaders today de
manded an Immediate end of
all semblance of Jealousy or
feuds between the army and
navy.
They expressed amazement at
a navy sponsored press confer
ence this week at which a naval
flier, a hero in several Paeific
engagements, compared the per
formance of the army and navy
air arms.
House Democratic Leader John
W. McCormack of Massachusetts
said he "read with astonish
ment" the statement of Lieut.
Comdr. John Smith Thach that
carrier based planes had won
every major victory in the Pa
cific and that horizontal bomb
ing was of little use against
warships.
(Army Flying Fortresses have
been credited by the war de
