THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON October 18, 1941', PAGE TWO FIRST SNOWS HINDER PUSH ONMQSCOW (Continued from Paco One) plains, perhaps smothering Adolf Hitler's hope of a pre-winier vic tory. The Russian dispatches said that the German drive had been slowed particularly in the direc tion of Vyazma which the Ger mans h8ve reported passed and already in the process of being mopped up. Vyazma is 125 miles west of the Russian capital. One of the Russian counter attacks, made possible by fresh reinforcements, was said to have recaptured a town near Bryansk, 210 miles southwest of Moscow in the region of the Germans' drive on Moscow from the south Another counter-attack was launched north of Orel and east ' of Bryansk. Orel was lost to the Germans a week ago. Despite the Russian resistance, a dispatch to the Moscow news paper Pravda acknowledged that the Germans still were moving on Moscow and the only ques tion was whether the drive could be robbed of its momentum short of the goal. Reinforcements were stream ing steadily into the Russian front, it was said fresh, well equipped regulars who already had been under German fire but who had been rested for their . new test. German reinforce ments maintaining a numerical superiority for the invaders, however, also were reported. The dispatches to Moscow pic tured the morale of the Russians as high. All wore warm winter uniforms with long gray great coats and fur hats in prepared ness' for the winter at hand. There was little question that the greatest test of the war was impending. Five-Day Week, Paid Vacations Favored by AFL (Continued from Page One) "can never be" a strike against the government by civil service employes. Two of the resolutions, due to , start coming out of committees today, call for a flat pay increase or bonus of $240 yearly for gov ernment workers to meet in- ' creased living costs for the dura tion of the emergency. President Green's anti-government strike statement was made at a weekend meeting of a local of the National Federation of Postoffice Clerks. The meeting was billed as the kickoff in a a national drive for the first in crease for postal clerks since 192S. "I don't think any civil service employe who understands the priceless heritage of liberty, free dom and justice that is curs ever will belong to an organization which would strike against the government," Green declared, while referring to what he said was such a threat by a CIO union. . Green assured the postal em ployes, however, that the AFL had a "mighty power" in support of the wage demands political . power of 5,000,000 members. ! Congressmen "understand the language we speak," he added "You ought to have had that pay raise a long time ago. We will never fail you. Any member of congress who votes against the bill for civil service pay raises will be classed as a n enemy of the American Federa tion of Labor." Editorials on News (Continued from Pago Ono) crowded Into it, either by the acts of our leaders or by the pressure of events, there's notlv inn to do but go ahead. We can't back down." You hear few people (with the exceptions already noted) shout ing that we ought to get into this war RIGHT NOW and knock somebody's block off. You hear practically no one saying that under no circum stances should wo get into the war. nrHIS is obvious: Those who are most vocal in their advocacy of American participation In the war without further delay are practically without exception beyond the ages when they are likely to be called for military service. The professional shoutcrs and the beaters of the tom-toms and the dancers of the war dance are NOT rushing en masse to the recruiting offices.

Before starting the hearings, the committee voted to consider only the question of whether to permit merchant ships to be armed, but although President Roosevelt sought that authority primarily in his recent message regarding revision of the law, he expressed the hope that con cress would give early consider tion to the need for other changes, including that dealing with the matter of combat zones, Hull earlier had told the com' mitteo that the United States "can not turn and walk away from the steadily mounting danger" of the nazi military cam' paign of "world conquest."

By REAR ADMIRAL YATES STIRLING JR U.S.N. Retired United Press Naval Critic Tho president has asked tho congress to permit the arming of American (lug ships enguged in foreign commerce. Ho Intimates they mo sailing the sens on missions connected with thu defense of the United States, niHl it is not just tho crews of these vessels should bu denied tho means of defending their lives and their ships. The president also explains this arming adds to the safety of our seamen. Guns can keen a raider at a distuncu until hulp comes. Against an ulrpluno at tack It gives them a chance to shoot down mi enemy or keep an enemy at grout height. In conflict with submarines, an nrmed merchant ship compels the submariner to uso a torpedo while submerged. The submarine cannot comu to tho surface near an armed inerehunt ship and sink it at leisure by gun fire. But in arming our mcrchunt ships, the guns put on them should be of size uml rungc to give tho merchantman a full' clianco to fight off, In gun play, any subniurlno or small raider. That is, tho range of tho gun on our merchantman should bo suf ficient to reach tho enemy. During tho lust war many of our merchantmen were armed with guns that were outrunged by those of enemy luhumrlnes To place guns on u merchantman that will not roach tho enemy Is obvious folly. Likewise In defense from the air, guns on merchantmen should huvo I'iiiiko enough to keep enemy planes nl u height whore n miss Is likely. Such gun should ba capable of destroying a dlvo bomber before It can un looso its "eggs." If we arm our merchant ships, of course, Hitler will huvo a legal excuse for attacking them, but 1 believe most navy men will ngreu It is better to arm our merchantmen than to resort to subterfuges, such as placing them under 1'anamanlnn registry, If wo lire lo carry out tho pledges of aid wv huvo niudo to Urltflin and her allies, Indeed, we may have to take a great many steps not envisaged when the neutrality law was passed.
