News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE world waits today on
Russia.
Especially Japan, which for
nearly a week has been quiet
ai mouse. Above everything
elan, Japan doesn t wont to ro
peat MuMollnl'a mlntoko.
THE Gcrmuna, having fulled to
break the Russian center, aro
hammering the wlnga with ter
rific force.
They aro reported today to be
within 13 mllca of Leningrad
(report unofficial and uncon
firmed.) Marshal Vorlshllov,
commanding the Ruaslan right
(northern) wing, dramatically
calla on Lenlngrad'i Inhabitant!
to fight to tho death.
"Stand firm to the end," he
aayt to them. "Death to the
bloody fascist German robbers!"
fN the left (southern) wing,
Marshal Dudyenny ha hl
hands full getting his forces back
over the Dnieper.
i no air is iuii oi rumort in-
eluding one to tho effect that he
has blown up the Dnieper river
dam, built by American cngln
eers at a cost of 100 million dot
lnr, up to tho time of Boulder
dam the world s largest.
Blowing up ths dam Is said
to have turned the Dnieper Into
rushing torrent, hard to cross.
Also to h a v o destroyed the
source of power for most of the
Ukraine a Industries.
More scorched earth if the
rumor pans out.
THE situation In Odessa Is ob-
scure. Whether It Is to be
another Dunkerqua or another
Tobruk can t be guessed at yet
CROM foreign diplomatic
r source In Ankara comes this
rumor:
Advance units of two nazl di
visions have arrived In Bulgaria
Italian patrols are scouting tho
Greek-Turkish border. Italian
garrisons on tho Greek Islands
near the Dardanelles have been
strengthened.
This (If true) indicates grow
ing German suspicion of Turkey.
Also of Bulgaria, which is much
mora Slav than German In Its
sympathies.
TRAN Is stalling on the British
Russian demand that she
throw out tho Germans. Her
ORAL answer (apparently pre
ceding the written one) Is said
to be unsatisfactory in London.
THERE aro growing demands
In London (still passed ' by
the British censor) for tho open
ing up of a new front by the
British somewhere on the con
tinent while Hitler is busy with
Stalin. Norway and Italy are
suggested as tho likeliest points.
Maybe tho British aro In a
position to open up a new front.
This writer doubts it.
It looks like a tale put out to
worry Hitler.
A NOTHER specimen from to'
day s rumor crop:
Vichy says police in German
occupied Paris are reported to
have arrested 6,000 persons. The
arrested persons aro described
as Jews. The move, Vichy says,
is apparently aimed at dealing
with sources of PUBLIC UN
REST. Don't think Hitler Isn't wor
ried by signs of public unrest In
the countries hn has conquered.
