TYE outsiders have the hazy notion that it's connected in some way with Russian moves on the AFTER THE WAR chess board. EVERYWHERE the news re- ness in the air. For some time the idea has prevailed in more or less informed quarters that the Germans are HOLDING BACK the bulk of their remaining air force for some desperate emerg encysuch as an invasion of the continent. Some time ago they re sup posed to have shifted the bulk of their production from bomb ers, which are an offensive weapon, to fighters, whose job is DEFENSIVE. -It's unlikely that the German air force is as near gone as the reports we've been getting seem to suggest QNE of the objectives of mod em air war is to force the enemy to send up his fighters and then biiOOT THEM DOWN. The Germans tried that on the British, but the RAF held back enough of its fighters to meet the emergency when it came. Maybe that's what the Ger mans are doing now.

Ickes, a coal administrator. announced termination of gov ernment possession and control of the mines of 83 companies, and a spokesman said "some" of them were operated under con tracts with the UMW. Asked about Lewis' threat, he said We 11 just have to see what hap pens." Lewis, in ending the third gen eral strike by the UMW in June, said that his miners were to work until October 31 only if the government retained control of the mines throughout that pe riod.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (P) Thomas Kennedy, quiet-spoken secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America, told his former colleagues on the war labor board (WLB) today that an increase of $1.30 a day for anthracite miners is fully justi fied and necessary to retain man power. Appearing before the board he quit last spring in disagree ment with its policies, Kennedy said that "in an effort to effect a compromise basis upon which an agreement could be written the mine workers offered to set tle for an 'overall" figure of $1.30 per day, or $1 per day net , SEMES TAKEN Men wishing to enlist in the Seabees who missed Warrant Carpenter Leo Wolgamood on his visit here Saturday, may still apply at the local navy recruit ing office, Dan Schreiber, re cruiter, said today.- - If applicants appear to be qualified for ratings, and if they are physically fit, Schreiber can send the applicant to Portland at government expense for their ratings.

By WILLIAM SMITH WHITE LONDON, Aug. 23 W) Pre mier Marshal Stalin announced the capture of Kharkov today and the Germans appeared to "be in general retreat across south Russia. A Stalin order of the day to field commanders, broadcast by the Moscow radio and recorded here by the soviet monitor, told of the seizure of the city by storm. Admit Loss The German high command communique, issued earlier in the day, had admitted the loss of Kharkov, saying that the nazl garrison withdrew without Russian pressure. Directed to Lt. Gen. Lvan Konev, Gen. Nikolai F. Vatutin and General Orlovsky, the or der said: Today, August 23, our troops of the steppe front, with active collaboration from the blank of troop the Voronezh and southwestern fronts, as a result of fierce engagements broke the resistance of the en emy and took by storm the town of Kharkov. Kharkov Liberated "Thus, the second capital our native Kharkov is liberat ed from the yoke of the Ger man fascist blackguards. (Khar kov is a former capital of the Ukraine.) "In offensive engagements for the liberation of the town of Kharkov, our troops display ed high military skill, courage and ability to maneuver." The fall of the city was pre sented by DNB, German news agency, as an evacuation in which Russian pressure had no part. In a broadcast announc ing .withdrawal from the base. DNB said Kharkov was no longer a "valuable center of traffic and supply and de clared all important installa tions there had been destroyed by the nazis before they pulled out. - Changes Hands Kharkov, the great industrial center in the Ukraine, was last recaptured by the Russians in February and lost by them again . in March and has changed hands four times in less than two years. It represented the major nazl position east of the Dnieper river and has been for the base of a salient from which the Germans could thrust out to menace the Russians anywhere from Moscow to the Caucasus. Russian broadcast ana re ports from the Germans them selves indicated violent fighting west of the city now rising to ward perhaps some fateful con clusions. The nazis were at pains to insist that the with drawal ' was orderly. Hard Pressed The Russians have declared that German commanders were so hard-pressed that they were throwing new formations into the battleline at the moment of their arrival and without rest. Kharkov was added to the lengthening list of Russian tri umphs the list including Orel and Belgorod won not by costly frontal assault but by the same slashing flank attacks which relieved Stalingrad, two Russian armies enveloped Kharkov from north and south. The German announcement that Kharkov was again in Rus sian hands was broadcast in the overseas service report but not to nazis at home. They were told that "there is nothing new." Confirm Vows The German high command later confirmed the loss of Kharkov in a communique broadcast for both domestic and foreign consumption say ing: NOW PLAYING Tm Spctaaa Sun Ann Npn MOUTH I JFV3 jor HALL it5 m!

The insistent clamor for peace was echoed by the Cor riere Delia Sera at Milan, which urged the government "not to let even the least favorable chance to take the country out of war escape." (From Madrid came word that Rome dispatches indicated that the Italians do not intend to re sist allied invasion but will not oppose German resistance be cause they feel that conflict with the Germans would result in larger loss of life and pro perty than remaining aloof.

The raid marked the late open ing of Chungking's "bombing season, which in 1941 and ear lier years usually started early in May. .

HIOHTOWER QUEBEC, Aug. 23 lP) As nearly as It could bo accom plished without a forthright of ficial statement, the recall of Maxim Litvinoff as sovlot am bassador to Washington was di vorced today from proceedings of the British-American war conference hero. Moscow's purpose In making known at this time that Litvin off would not return to the United Stales romalned obscure in the absence of any exploita tion from tho Russian capital, but tho understanding of Amer ican officialdom regarding tho incident was niario clear by an authority closely associated with the Quebec conference. Not Conneoted His statement was that the replacement of Litvinoff by An drei A. Gromyko, embassy counsellor and charge d'affaires in Washington, was not con nected In any way With the conference. Tho fact that Lit vinoff would not go back to Washington had been known to officials in the American capi tal for weeks, it was brought out, but the matter was one for Russian, not A m e r i c n, an nouncement. (In Washington, state depart ment officials declined to say when tie soviet government naa requested tins govern ment's agreement to the ap pointment of Gromyko. Such a request is routine diplomatic courtesy.) No Significance In relation to the Quebec 446,000 Dads To Be Drafted By January WASHINGTON. Aug. JJ P) Draft Director Lewis B. Hersh- ey, in the first official pro nouncement of the kind, said today it probably would be ne cessary to induct 446,000 pre Pearl Harbor fathers by Janu ary in order lo meet quotas for the balance of this year. The figure was given In a letter sent to the 0300 local boards explaining why the ban on drafting pre-Pcarl Harbor fathers, except those In non-do-fcrable work and therefore sub ject' to induction at any time, had been lifted effective Octo ber 1. , Since he put the total num ber of draft age (28 through 27) fathers In non-agricultural work at 6.939,000 Hcrshey's figure showed approximately seven out of 100 of them can expect to be in uniform before this year ends. Perhaps 21 out of 100 may be sent to Induc tion stations, however. PRESIDENTIAL HOME First residence of a U.

In this regard It was noted that Nicholus Zhlvaynov, repre sentative of Toss, tho Russian news agency, had checked out of press headquarters at the Clarendon hotel hero, But Stephen Early, secretary to President Roosevelt, said no significance wus to be attached lo his departure. Real Purpose Tho real purposes of Lltvln otf's withdrawal, of conr.tr, could merely be guessed at. The possibilities mentioned In dis cussion here, outside tho second front speculation, were mainly concerned with tho theory thut he was needed for some other assignment. One suggestion was that Rus sia might be maneuvering to Join In the next allied war con ference, at least to the extent of having a highly-placed ob server present. Litvinoff, with his record of British-American friendship and his long espou sal of international collabora tion to maintain peace, might bo the man for that Job.

Soong flew In from Washing ton late yesterday, at the request of President Roosevelt Presi dential Secretary Stephen Early emphasized that his discussions with the chief executive and Prime Minister Churchill of Brit ain "will have to do with the plans for the war on Japan." 'That fact gave support to the idea that allied strategy perfect ed here calls for powerful aerial thrusts at the Japanese from bases In eastern China.
