‘BEST DAY OF WAR

50) FAR’--MOSCOW

‘Much Advertised Blitzkrieg Has Failed,” Says Communist Party Newspaper, Reporting Russians

Have Taken Initiative.

MOSCOW, July 30 (U. Party newspaper, tactics have failed and that

P.).—Pravda, the Communist

asserted today that Germany's blitzkrieg

Nazi offensive power is grad-

ually weakening as Soviet forces stiffen their resistance.

Pravda's

analysis was presented as official reports from

the front told of Soviet counter-attacks in the important Smolensk front and of increasing guerils i id behind German front lines which has|

forced the diversion of Nazi tanks, armored cars and motorcycle units to deal with attacks by Soviet partisan units. “The Pravda reported, thousands of tanks ang aircraft have gradually come into action and in certain sectors of the large front the enemy has frequently been forced to pass from the offensive to the defensive.

“The much advertised Blitzkrieg has failed.” The capital passed a night free of air raid alarms, the third since

ago. Plan Counter Attack

The High Command's noon communique said the most severe fight- | ing was in the Smolensk area, the] gateway to Moscow and around] Zhitomir, center of the intense bat-, tle for the Ukraine, and in the Nevel sector guarding Leningrad. Front reports said Russian troops were slashing into the German lines in a series of carefully charted counter-attacks which already had thrown the Germans out of many of their hard-won advanced positions. The Russians appeared to be

selected for what their biggest coun-ter-offensive of the war, the bitterly contested Smolensk sector, where the Germans had thrust beYong the Dnieper River and for two weeks, day and night, had sought vainly to break the resilient Russian lines.

Watch for Parachutists

Reports on what appeared to be the most encouraging dav of the war so far from the Russian viewpoint, said that behind the German lines Russian guerrilia bands had now hecome so active and were in such formidable force that the Germans had been compelled to divert tanks, armored cars, gun-motorcyclists fight them. In the far interior of Russia also, 2 communique said, millions of men women and children were now watching day and night for German parachutists and diversionists. Today's first war communigue hoted heavy fighting in the Novorzhev and Smolensk sectors of the Moscow front and the Zhitomir seetor of the Kiev front. The Novorzhev sector is a new one. Novorzhev is a little west of the Porkhov-Nevel line It is only 40 miles east of the Latvian border and 130 miles north-northeast of Vitebsk. Its mention implies that the Germans have made no gains at all in that area for a long time.

Claim 1,500,000 Casualties

S. A. Lozovsky, chief Government war spokesman, said at his press conference yesterday that the Germans were believed to have suffered as many as 1,500,000 casualties in killed and wounded in the first month of the war and that they had lost about 5000 tanks and more than 3000 planes. _Lozovsky, explaining the general Situation at the front, said it had been partly stabilized, but that in a battle of such gigantic proportions full stabilization was difficult. He added that if checking the Germans meant stabilizing the front, stabilization had now been effected;

that the Germans had heen halted

everywhere and that the Russians were vigorously counter-attacking.

REDS CHANGE SLOGAN

NEW YORK, July 30 (U.P) .-— The Communist Party changed its slogan today. For a year and a half the rallying cry has been: “The Yanks are not coming.” Today, with Russia in the war, the Daily Worker published a new motto: “The Yanks are not comIng too late.”

SOVIETS BEATEN

But Geography Becomes

Confusing in Berlin Dispatches.

BERLIN, July 30 (U. P.).—The Nazi High Command admitted today that Russian forces have launched new counter-attacks in the vital Smolensk area but insisted that the Soviet efforts to relieve surrounded troops had been beaten | off. It was the third day the High {Command had devoted its chief at{tention in the daily war communi‘que to the bloody battles now in ‘progress around Smolensk. i The battle is described by the {High Command as “an annihilation battle.” Places Are Confusing

In the Lake Peipus area where German forces are pounding toward Leningrad two Soviet divisions were said by the official DNB news agency to have been cut off and “completely annihilated” in the “area west of Lake Peipus.” (Previous reports have placed the fighting east of the lake.) It was impossible to get a picture of the front. One dispatch spoke of German activity in the Vyazma sector 140 miles west southwest of Moscow and another told of the repulse of a Russian armored division west of Mogilev, which is 180 miles south southwest of Vyazma.

Remove Many Dead

However, the nature of the fighting was becoming increasingly clear. Newspapers published today a dispatch from a propaganda company reporter datelined from Rogachev July 22. The Germans announced that they had reached Rogachev, 180 miles north of Kiev on the Dnieper,

during the first week of July.

The reporter wrote that between battles Russian trucks remove their dead and wounded from the front lines, while the German guns cease fire. “But hardly have the trjicks disappeared with their sorry burden when the first waves of attacking Bolshevists again swarm over and the infernal noise of battle recommences,” he wrote.

Wave After Wave

“The Russians flow over in six, seven, eight, 10 or 12 waves! Often our artillery barrage succeeds in cutting them up badly but usually the majority force a way into our positions for close range fighting and must be beaten back man to man in hand to hand fighting. . . “Our young soldiers are proud that the severity of these battles compares with the great battles on the Western Front in 1916 and 1818. . . . In these battles they have properly taken the measure of the Red infantrymeh and know what to expect from them. They rate the Soviet artillery higher. It is alert and brisk, firing on every single man.”

‘BEWARE,’ SAYS

U. S. Properties Seized in

By RICHARD LEWIS

Having found the town's hottest spot Monday—a street intersection being resurfaced with molten asphalt—the analysis of the heat wave continued today with a search for the City's coolest spot—that is, without benefit of mechanical refrigeration. It came to us quite suddenly that the underground vault of some bank might qualify. Not having had much experience in bank vaults, we put in a call to Otto N. Frenzel who works at the Merchants National Bank. He is vice president over there. “Sure,” said Mr. Frenzel. “I.was down in the vault this morning and it was fine. Come right over.” Mr. Frenzel was there to greet us in his shirtsleeves, which is the way bankers operate in hot weather, we learned. The genial executive led the way down a flight of steps underground, about 25 feet down. We entered a large room where | the temperature was about the same as upstairs and immediately began

‘to feel a great disappointment.

“Wait,” cautioned Mr. Frenzel. He led on past a water cooler toward a fancy, brass gate, beautifully or-

namented but an effective barrier

to any unwarranted progress. Guards stood about, a bit menacingly it seemed to us, and we tried not to look suspicious. At the gate, the guard nodded to Mr. Frenzel and we passed through into the realm of safety deposit boxes and gold bullion if banks still keep gold bullion around. At first we didn't notice that, we had stepped through a circular steel doorway, so smoothly did it meet the floor. At the right, glistening

EDEN TO JAPAN

China Being Returned By Tokyo Order.

By UNITED PRESS

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden today urged Japan to reflect, while there is still time, as to where her present policy is leading the country. “1 cannot believe that the states-| manship of Japan is entirely deaf or blind,” Eden said in the House of Commons as 15 Japanese transports arrived at Saigon to land part of the 40,000 troops which will occupy French Indo-China. Japanese Army forces in northeast China “protectively” occupied a number of important U. S. properties, but Tokyo said that the occupation was a misunderstanding which had been corrected. Munitions stocks advanced on the Tokyo Stock Exchange but all other shares were off from three to four points. Raw silk and silk fibers were put under an export licensing system. Great Britain imposed sanctions against Japanese shipping today, with an order closing British coaling stations around the world to Japanese ships and barring Japanese ships from carrying goods from one British Empire port

harsh

Eden refused to reveal the precautions which have been taken at Singapore, but the great naval base was said to be ready for any devel- | opments, particularly a Japanese move against Thailand. The British said the sovereignity of Thailand must be preserved. Fortification of the important island of Borneo was revealed to have been undertaken.

Pigeon ‘Races’ 50 Miles in 12 Years

IRVINGTON, N. J., July 30 (U. P.). — John H. Stillwell took a pigeon to Goshen, N. Y., in 1929 for a “test flight.” The bird was back in its home loft today, having taken 12 years to make the 50mile journey. Stillwell had forgotten about it when a workman at a coal pocket near his home told him a bird wearing a leg band with the Stillwell address had flown into the cffice there. “I haven't any pigeons,” he said. “I raise canaries. I sold all my pigeons six years ago.” Then he recalled taking six young racing pigeons to Goshen 12 years ago to see how long it would take them to return. None did. He thought he would dispose of the prodical pigeon, but Mrs. Stillwell dissented. “After all,” she said, “it made the best time of those we released at Goshen.”

CANADA TROOPS END

ALUMINUM STRIKE

ARVIDA, Quebec, July 30 (U. P.). —Canadian troops, using tanks and barbed wire, guarded the $150,000,000 plant of the Aluminum Company of Canada today while officials of the National Catholic Syndicate of Aluminum Workers

{denied that the 300 men who forced the plant to close last week had been motivated by a desire to sabotage Canada’s war effort. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, in lifting censorship on the occurrence, charged that the men had seized the plant's pot room after a fist fight with office workers and company policemen last Thursday night, permitted the metal retorts to cool, and held the plant until the troops arrived on Sunday. He termed it an “enemy” attempt at sabotage, asserted that it was not connected with any labor trouble, and that, as a result, four weeks production of aluminum had been lost. Alexis C. Daris, president of the syndicate, said the men had acted after the union had held prolonged and unsuccessful negotiations with the company and that the question of wages rather than any desire to sabotage the war effort, motivated the strikers. The syndicate sent a shift of 300 into the plant last night to prepare for a resumption of operations.

NEW JERSEY STRIKE ENDS

BENDIX, N. J, July 30 (U. P.) — United Automobile Workers (C.

The plant has been idle since July 14, when the union called a strike to protest alleged dismissal of 24 men for union activity.

ARMY BILL 0. K.'D BY HOUSE GROUP

Measure Permits Extension Of Service; Senate Action Due Today.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (U. P.) — The House Military Affairs Committee today approved a resolution declaring the national interest to be imperiled and authorizing the President to retain selectees, National Guardsmen and Reservists for the duration of the emergency.

The resolution was approved by a vote of 15 to 7. It was identical to the one which the Senate considers today except for a proviso that Congress is acting “solely for the purpose of carrying into effect” the service extension recommendation of the War Department. A substitute proposal backed by committee Republicans, authorizing retention of Guardsmen and Reservists only, was rejected by the same vote, Chairman Andrew J. May (D., Ky.) said he would go before the Rules . Committee Friday to get clearance for prompt House action on the resolution. He predicted that it would pass easily. “The Congress hasn't gotten to the point yet where it is willing to wreck the United States Army in the face of impending peril,” May said. Speaker Sam Rayburn said that he believed bombing of the American gunboat Tutuila by Japanese planes raiding Chungking, and other Japanese activities had strengthened Congressional support for the measure. Rep. Dewey Shct't (R., Mo.), noninterventionist leader of the committee, declared that “it's going to be a pretty hard fight.” He said committee Republicans would meet this afternoon to write a minority report on the resolution and map plans for the fight against it on the House floor. Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky.) hoped to pass the measure in the Senate before the week-end, although non-interven-tionists have promised vigorous opposition. The Senate will debate a resolution, sponsored by Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah) providing a Congressional declaration that the nation is “imperiled.” This would have the effect of retaining the restricted troops and removing the present 900,000 limit on the number of selectees who may be inducted in a year. Non-interventionists decided at a caucus that no attempt would be made to filibuster.

Nazi Work Alarms Latins

By UNITED PRESS South American indignation against German agents was rising

rapidly today.

Informed Washington sources said that denunciation of Axis interference in Latin American affairs by Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles yesterday was based upon ‘reperts that Germany is using French Guiana as a base for its undercover activities.

The Uruguayan Chamber of Deputies unanimously suspended from membership Deputy Alejandro Kayel, editor of the pro-Axis newspaper Libertad, and ordered an investigation into his activities. Cuba prepared to declare a state

tine Socialist, demanded that the German Ambassador be expelled from the country as a leader of Nazi propaganda in South America. Chile granted a permission to Ernst Wendler, expelled German

of national emergency as a result Minister to Bolivia, to remain at

of “astounding” evidence revealed by the capture of Fernando Ernesto Blummer as a German spy suspect. President Fulgencio Batista announced that there is “a latent state of conspiracy undermining Cuba's democratic regime.” An Argentine investigating committee published the text of the coded document found in a seized short-wave radio transmitter. It said: “To La Paz: If find impossible to deposit ih Lima, adhere strictly to orders received at Ambassadors’ conference held at San-

Santiago until Friday, when he must sail on a Japanese boat. He has been refused admittance to all other American countries. Mr. Welles yesterday told his press conference that recent events —apparently the Wendler participation in the attempt to overthrow the Bolivian Government and the evidence that Germans had incited the Peru-Ecuador hostilities—have “emphasized the correctness of the charge that the totalitarian powers are striving to disturb the peace of this hemisphere and to extend their disruptive control over the affairs the American Fepubites.”

PATENT THREE PLANE GADGETS

‘Make Wings Longer, Pick

Up Mail at Sea; Prevent Icing.

By Science Service WASHINGTON, July 30.—Patents on airplanes and their accessory structures feature the week's patents. A patent for a means for increasing the length, and hence the area, of airplane wings was granted to J. L. Fitzurka of Pittsburgh. Within the hollow ends of conventional plane wings, auxiliary wing tips are concealed. They are provided with a hydraulic mechanism which can extend or retract them as the pilot desires. The additional supporting surface thus provided is expected to assist in taking off and landing. In the air, the reduced wing surface is sufficient to support the plane. For a method of picking up and

_| delivering packages at sea, between

airplane and ship, a patent was issued to Richard C. du Pont of Wilmington, Del. It is somewhat reminiscent of devices for picking up mail at small stations, without hav-

.| ing to land the plane.

It is desirable, Mr. du Pont points out, to keep plane and ship clear of each other, to minimize danger of collision or other accident. For this reason, the steamer tows a long line aft, held taut by a drag or sea anchor. The plane flies over this, trailing a dangling line with the package to be delivered. This line has an easily breakable point in it, and at its lower end there is a grapple. When the plane’s package-bearing line snags on the receiving line towed from the ship, the grapple takes hold and the jerk breaks the joint. The ship's crew then winds in the towed line, package and all. To pick up a package from the ship, the plane dangles a solid line

from the ship has a section in it connected at each end with =a breakable joint. On this section the package is hung. The plane's line jerks this section out, carrying it aloft by means of the "grapple, and reels it in. The towed line can be salvaged by means of a loose loop by-passing the break-away section and kept out of the way during the pick-up by means of weights. A device for preventing the formation of ice on the wings of aircraft was invented by David C. Bulloch of London, England. It consists of a special fabric, woven partly of organic fiber and partly of wire, forming a tubular sac along the leading edge of the wing. Through the meshes of this fabric anti-freezing fluid is permitted to ooze. A supply of the fluid is contained in a reservoir, with feed lines under control of the pilot.

JAP SHIP ROUNDUP HELD ‘MOMENTOUS'

WASHINGTON, July 30 (U. P.) — Elmer L. Irey. chief co-ordinator of the Treasury enforcement agencies, | asserted today in his annual report that the recent seizure of 19 Japanese fishing boats operating in Hawaiian waters was the climax of a “momentous case.” Although Treasury officials declined to discuss reports from other Government quarters that the seizure represented a partial roundup of spies in that vital United States outpost, informed sources said that crews of the vessels included officers of the Japanese naval reserve. Mr. Irey reported to Treasury Secretary Henry A. Morgenthau Jr. that “in view of world conditions, this (seizure) is regarded as the most momentous case developed by any of the enforcement agencies of the Treasury during the fiscal year ended June 30.” The Government indicted 71 Japanese, mostly aliens, and three Honolulu fishing companies in March as result of the seizure. They were charged with a conspiracy to violate a 1793 navigation law requiring that all vessels of American registry be owned by Americans. They allegedly used false bills of sale and managing owners’ oaths in registering the vessels.

STREET WIDENING WORK IS ORDERED

The widening of three thoroughfares was approved today by the Works Board as part of the city’s program to relieve traffic congestion by street improvements with the aid of increased gasoline tax revenues. East 10th St., between Hawthorne Lane and Anderson St, will be widened from 20 to 30 feet by the addition of a 10-foot strip on the south side. East 16th St. wil] be widened six feet between Sherman Drive and Euclid Ave. The roadway of East Thirty-sec-ond St. will be expanded six feet by the reduction of an esplanade in the center from 14 to eight feet. These improvements followed Works Board approval of two other widening projects this week.

WILLKIE, THOMAS INVITED TO DEBATE

ELWOOD, Ind. July 30 (U.P) — Mayor George M. Bonham today invited Wendell 1.. Willkie and Norman Thomas—as “the leaders of the two minority parties”"—to debate the Administration's foreign policy Sunday at an anti-war rally in Elwood’s Callaway Park, the park where last summer Willkie accepted the Republican Presidential nomination. Telegrams were sent to Willkie at Rushville, Ind., where he is vacationing after a Western speaking tour in support of President Roosevelt's foreign policies, and. to Thomas, the Socialist Party leader, in New York.

ESTATE TO AID POOR YOUTH NEW YORK, July 30 (U.P.).— Paul A. Barth, commission merchant who died last February, left his $50,000 estate to make life easier for “some poor boy or girl,” according to his will on file today. Henry A.

HOUSE TO VOTE

ON JOINT TAX

Separate Consideration Won For Controversial Section Of Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (U. P.)). —The House Rules Committee today authorized a separate vote on the provision of the $3,529,200,000 Defense Tax Bill requiring husband and wife to file a joint income tax return, The committee acted after the House Ways and Means Committee approved an agreement sponsored by House leaders to modify the “gag rule” on the tax bill. The modification w a s recommended after strong bipartisan opposition to the mandatory joint return provision became evident. A group demanded an opportunity to strike that provision from the bill. No other amendments except those approved by the Ways and Means Committee may be offered to the tax bill from the floor, nor may members propose amendments to committee amendments if the House approves the new rule.

‘VERGE OF WAR’ STATEMENT HIT

Claim Made to Bolster British Morale, Say Senators.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (U. P). —Senators refused to believe today that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill spoke literally when he told the House of Commons that the United States is advancing to the “very verge of war.” Senator Elbert Thomas (D. Utah),

#|a strong supporter of Administra-

tion foreign policy, commented: “We have been on the verge of war with Japan since 1904.” Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.), advocate of militant action against Germany who has forecast many Administration moves, felt that if the United States becomes involved it will be because the nation is attacked. “If war comes to us,” Pepper said, “it will be because the dictators bring it against us and because it will be not honorable and decent to escape from war. “Whether we are on the verge of war depends on the action the dictators may take.” Senator Lister Hill (D., Ala.) commented that “at least we have gotten to the point of economic sanctions.” He referred to the recent move freezing Japanese credits here. Senator Josiah W. Bailey (D. N. C.) said that ‘the less said by British politicians about America the better for Britain.” “The Churchill statement,” he added, “was made for British morale, but the repercussions here are not good.”

HEART ATTACK KILLS DRIVER, CAR CRASHES ’ Apparently the victim of heart disease, George M. Hendrix, 62, Putnamville, died today as his auto crashed into a utility pole in the 5800 block of Rockville Rd. J. C. Knight, 69, Greencastle, whe was riding with Mr. Hendrix, was thrown through the windshield and was treated at Methodist Hospital, where his condition was described as not serious. State Police said the two men were hound for Indianapolis, when Mr. Hendrix suddenly slumped in his seat and the car went out of control. Dr. Wesley Ward, deputy coroner, said Mr. Hendrix's death apparently was due to heart disease.
