persons were killed in accidents during the three-day period. * That figure included 376 killed in "highway accidents ahd 139 deaths from drowning, plane crashes and other mishaps. At the corresponding hour last year, only 204 traffic deaths had been reported. The 1941 total was expected to be swelled by later reports and by additional deaths resulting from holiday injuries. California led all states in the number of violent deahts with 51, including -35 in traffic accidents; Illinois, 37; Ohio, 36; New York, 35; Michigan, 34; Pennsylvania, 31, and Texas, 29. Only North Dakota, South Carolina, Soufh Dakota and Wyoming repotred no deaths. Midsummer weather favored most of the nation over the week-end and encouraged heavy holiday travel.

Today's War i oves—

WINTER TO SHIFT WAR SOUTHEAST

If Russia Holds Out, Nazis May Divert Forces to. Ukraine.

(Continued from Page One)

Ukraine, the Allies are busy preparing their defenses far to the south. The occupation of Iran by British and Russian forces is only a further step in a far-seeing strategy. Turkey is the key to it. The position is this: ~The British have been driven out of Greece and Crete, leaving TurKey exposed on the west and north to Italy and to the Germans operating through Bulgaria. The Germans have their Rumanian and Bulgarian allies as an aid, weak though it may be, in that direction. To offset the threat, the British and Russians are encircling Turkey from the east and south. The Brit-

lish, holding Palestine, have extend-

ed their grip through Syria to the southern Turkish border. They control Iraq and, with the Russians, are now in possession of Iran. The Russians are entrenched in the Caucasus, flanking Turkey's eastern frontier. It places Turkey in the extremely difficult position of being caught in the middle. If she abandons her neutrality in favor of either side, she is bound to become

a battlefield.

Can Turkey Stay Neutral?

If Hitler and Mussolini, in their recent conference decided to attack in that quarter, Turkey becomes a battlefield anyway. As traditional guardian of the Black Sea straits, she is likely to resist. The prize in such a campaign would be control of the straits and the Black Sea, paving the way for an overland drive against the Suez Canal. The oil fields of the Middle East would be another consideration. Then, looking some distance ahead, would come India. It is worth noting that a Russian communique reveals movements of Soviet troops not only in central Iran but at points close to the Afghan, border, indicating that India is being guarded as well as Turkey. The Allies thus have mad: a citadel of most of the Near and Middle East.

oil, wheat and minerals for a long

war. With Russian transportation wholly inefficient and Stalin bend-

ing the nation’s resources to his own rearmament‘ rather than to serving as arsenal and larder for the Nazi revolutionaries, Hitler and his generals agreed that direct action was the only course. They must go and get Russia’s resources themselves. This is costly and means six to nine months of delay but it guarantees vast quantities ultimately. And Hitler needs vast quantities of every raw material as he prepares to build trans-Atlantic bombers against American industry and a score of monster Bismarcks—ships

so formidable that it took three

quarters of the British navy to sink a single vessel of this type. According to the most important air manuficturer in Germany the long-range bombers are already perfected and only need to be put into mass production. “We have bombers that can fly to New York in seven hours with a full bomb load,” the individual said to me. “Only of course you Americans will prefer peace.”

Threatened by Berlin

HITLER'S PLANS for the invasion of Russia were laid the day he realized that the invasion of Britain was likely to prove impossible and they have been no secret to informed quarters. He began to mass troops along the Russian frontiers early last winter. This correspondent, after talking with important, if indiscreet, Germans and Italians in Rome, wrote thert that he had made this move:

#1. To blackmail the Russians.

into giving him raw materials and diplomatic aid against the Balkans and middle eastern countries, and 2. For the invasion of Russia if the attitude of Britain and America made that both desirable and possible. 3 I was threatened with éxpulsion from Italy—by Berlin, not by Rome—unless I dropped these articles.

HITLER: KNEW FROM his |

Fifth Column sspies that America was already woefully divided and that there was no question of her entering the war before he could carry out his campaign against the Russians. His final irrevocable order to his generals—drafted of course by the generals themselves—was issued June 1. This correspondent on June 4 reported the decision to invade Russia and later by way of amplification explained that no demands would be made to Stalin and no concessions accepted. Incidentally and parenthetically,

thought the democrat was selling him a capitalistic pup—or thought so until he was invaded without warning. On June 12 Hitler, as a courtesy, informed his puppets—Mussolini, Franco and Darlan—of the invasion scheme. They were to

May Prove Costly

THE INVASION of Russia, undertaken in orcer to prepare the final showdown with America, can prove the most costly of « Hitler's blunders. That depends upon whether America and Britain exploit the situation that offers itself. Hitler was confident on the basis of Fifth Column reports in America that neither democracy 0 The American public is not prepared, Hitler believes, to send aircraft carriers and divisions into the Mediterranean zone to forestall Hitler's own

ing of cattle, horses, swine. Lieut. Gov. Dawson led the Labor Day observance in ceremonies in front of the Grand Stand. He called on labor, agriculture and capital to do the defense job “to the best of your ability.” “You are as important in this national emergency as is the young man who has dropped his tools, who leaves his ledger or who walks from behind a store counter to train as a soldier,” the Lieutenant Governor said. “Labor has made great strides in the last 50 years. Much has been accomplished for the working man and woman. We have minimum wage laws, the 40-hour week, sanitary conditions established in our great industrial plants. These things have not just come about. They are the result of years of effort, and of conference. “Some of these things probably will be foresworn during these turbulent times. You men will be called upon to make sacrifices just as are the young men who answered the country’s call. “But - while those sacrifices are being made we have in mind that we are still a free country.

ASKS CITY TO SPEED ANTI-NOISE DRIVE

The Safety Board today was asked to “accelerate” its enforcement of the new anti-noise ordinance. The request was made by Dr. Walter E. Hemphill, Republican member of the City Coupcil, Who sponsored the ordinance. “I know the police are doing something toward correcting anti-noise violations, but I believe that if they would do more; they could satisfactorily solve the noise problem,” Dr. Hemphill told the Board. Leroy J. Keach, Board president, said, “the Board will be glad to accelerate its enforcement. The police are going out after the noise violators, but it must be remembered that horn tooters are hard to catch,” he said. Dr. Hemphill said that the control t than

In defense of the budget, which includes nearly $600,000 in increased salaries and wages, Council Presi dent Joseph G. Wood said the Legise lature “mandated” a 5-cent increase in the levy. The deficit resulting from last year’s bookkeeping miscale culation made another 6-cent ine crease necessary, he said. ‘Another 8-cent increase, he added, results from Council's commitment to salaty increases. 3 “That makes a total of 19 cents of the 20-cent increase,” he “There was no way to escape it.
