IN AFRICA LOOMS

Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of American ‘Ships . Rounding Good Hope With Supplies; India May Play Big Role.

By BRYDON TAVES United Press Staff Correspondent

CAPETOWN, South Africa, Sept. 11.—There were strong indications today that Great Britain was preparing to launch its most powerful land ‘offensive of the war against German and Italian forces in the Libyan desert.

Supplies and equipment have a vital part.

from the United States. will

Hundreds of thousands of tons of American ships’ heavs fly laden with war supplies are rounding .the Cape of

. Good Hope. Far East. Others are neaded back home with East Indies rubber, Rhodesian chrome and South ‘African maganese, of which it is understood, the United States is buying as much as

its ships can carry. This movement has been in progress for several months and is increasing. Capetown Port Busy When I reached Table Bay last week, the harbor .was crowded with British, American and other ships. Dock workers, chandlers, refueling and repair crews were working night and day on the ships which have made the port of Capetown busier than at any time in its history. This is only a part, however, of the war supplies which reach Africa. Many ships dock at Durban or other East African ports. American planes have been flying

- south, and the general impression

here is that if they aren't already ferrying supplies across Africa, they |e soon will be. Pan-American airways at least has surveyed that part of the coast from Bissau, Portuguese Guinea, to Monrovia, Liberia.

Convoys Harried

Obeservers here believe that the flow of supplies and reinforcements to the Middle East has reached the point where the British may take advantage of cooler weather and Germany’s preoccupation with Russia to attempt secure the left flank of the Suez Canal, . Constant harrying of enemy convoys in the Mediterranean and the British air offensive in Libya are taken as signs that both sides are preparing for a major struggle in the western desert. A British thrust toward Tripoli would be particularly welcome in

South Africa, because it would be |

expected to remove the menace of closer Franco-German collaboration, which some observers feel might ultimately threaten the se_eurity of the whole continent.

“Wavell to Deliver’

The feeling is growing that India avill play an increasingly prominent role as a source of manbower, and -will, ‘with South Africa and Australia, function as the buttress of the imperial armies in Asia: : When Britain and Germany come to grips on land, many observers

* expect Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell’s

Indian forces to deliver the first and hardest blows. .

MOSCOW, ‘Sept. 11 (U.P.).—Red Army counter-attacks were reported in war dispatches today to have smashed German concentrations with huge casualties on the Ukraine, Central, Northern and Arctic fronts. The dispatches reported that: * 1. A Russian counter-attack broke up new German assaults on the gates of Kiev with 30,000 enemy casualties in fierce day and night fighting. 2. The Russians, int another count-er-drive, hurled the -Germans back 12 more miles on the Central front, Ising 12 additional villages.3 e Russians repulsed Nazi concentrations “somewhere west of the Dvina River,” which flows .from

‘Bsthonia, through Vitebsk, on the

north central front, thwarted attempts of the enemy to cross the river and re-captured the village of Starina. i 4. The Red Army force in continuous counter-attacks in the Kesteng sector near Lake Topozero, about 100 miles southwest of Kandalashka (on the Arctic Murmansk sector) recaptured strategic points. 5. The defenders of Leningrad and Odessa ¢ontinued to beat back enemy siege troops and to stand firm against continuous aerial and artillery bombardment.

Russian correspondents at Kiev described the eity as a maze of.barricades, its streets linked, by an endless chain of iron beams. .

TOKYO, Sept. 11 (U. P.).—Emperor - Hirohito today took direct

Army collaboration with Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye’s Govern-

to keep Japan out of war even if that meant drifting away from her Axis ties.

efforts to cope with what Konoye has described as the most serious crisis in her history were: 1. The War Office established a new defense general headquarters under comniand of Gen. Otozo YaYamada is personally responsible to the throne and becomes virtual generalissimo of the Army, superseding . previous emphasis on General Staff control.

2. Konoye appointed Fumio Go to succeed Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu as chairman of the central cooperative council of the Imperial Rule Assistance Association—which replaced Japan's: former political parties :

3. The Emperor gave great prestige to the Cabinet and implicitly gave his approval to find a solution of Japan’s proplem. “short of war” by entertaining it at luncheon “in appreciation of ‘the outstanding services they (the Ministers) have rendered to the state." 4. Newspapers, continuing to temper their criticism of the United States, said that Japan anil the United States should reach an amicable settlement of their disagreements.

NAZIS THREATEN

‘Siirrender or Face Fate of Warsaw,” Propaganda Leaflets Say.

BERLIN, Sept. 11 (U. P.).— The High Command, in leaflets dropped by German planes, has called on Leningrad’s 3,000,000 people to surrender or suffer the same fate as Warsaw, competent Nazi quarters said today, The leaflets were reported to have warned that, if the civilian population continued to participate in defense of the Soviet second city, the Luftwaffe would open all-out day and night attacks and subject Leningrad to ruthiess bombardment regardless of the fate of residential areas. Air and infantry attacks on Leningrad thus far, Nazi informants said, have been directed only against old Czarist period forts, water and gas works, power stations, arms factories and warehouses on the outskirts of the city.

“Smoke Covers City

Big blazes in large factories, food and supply warehouses in Leningrad’s outlying districts were said by usually well-informed Nazi quarters to have covered the city iy a black pall of smoke as the Germans continued incessant shelling and air bombing of military objectives. On, the central and southern front, German military dispatches reported increasingly strong Russian oeunter-attacks, but asserted that they were beaten off. In the

north, dive-bonibers were said to be

raking Russian defensive positions relentlessly. The High Command communique said merely that German offensive operations continued successfully.

Beautiful Drama

A propaganda company reporter describing a raid on Leningrad last night said it was the “same horrible, beautiful .drama of a night bombing raid that we so often have experienced. Bomb upon bomb if|drops while we are banking and flying back tdward the front more explosions flare up and new fires break out.” Along the Dnieper River, apparently far up toward its source, Russian troops were reported to be intensifying their _counter-attacks and it ‘was said that the Germans had repulsed a big counter-attack, led by tanks, after a two-day battle 37% miles northeast of Smolensk. Mili quarters ‘asserted that Russian I along the entire front were extremely high and that the 300th Russian Division had been} “almost . annihilated.” Prisoners were quoted that some regiments of the division had fewer than 120 men out of a normal 3000. .

aid and guidance from small businessmen, officials and labor leaders, faced with. the prospect of unemployment and creeping industrial paralysis due to the priorities of defense economy. They began coming into Chicago foday by airplane, train ‘and automobile to attend two big meetings aimed at clearing some of the uncertainties which cloud the nation’s industrial future as it girds for total armament. Some 600 small businessmen, typical of the 145,000 industries in the nation which employ an average of 112 persons per plant, open the program with a *‘prime contractorsubcontractor personal contact clinic.” “Little” Meets “Big”

“big fellows” with huge Govern-

of scores of small booths set up in a hotel ballroom. It will work this way: A little fellow with equipment for small precision screw work will .shop around until he comes to a prime contractor with that sort of work on his list of needs. The big fellow will tell him how much of that sort of work he needs to have done to handle Lis big order for electrical switchboards. Does the little fellow have She right tools and jigs? How, big’ is* his plant? How many men does he ‘employ? How soon can he turn out the work and how much will it cost? The small industrialist will ask for blueprints and specifications and

works out he will have accomplished a big step in getting his plant over onto a defense economy basis. Continuity of work will be assured for a long time and he won't have to worry about getting priority ratings on materials for non-defense manufacture. Many Fear Extinction

Sponsors of the clinic, the Illinois Division of the National Small Business Men’s Association, hope the contacts made will result not only in saving the existence of scores of plants but also will speed rearma-

A national survey taken before the meeting indicated 64 per cent of the nation’s small business men elieved material shortages and priofities would compel them to go out of husiness, Seventeen per cent more expect curtailment.

This is a modest, sincere little movement started by the mayor of Evansville, Ind, William H. Dress, which snowballed into a vast expression of the Midwest's concern. Although Mr. Dress went to a Michigan City, Ind., hospital with pneumonia several days ago, others have carried forward his projeét. Judge John W. Spencer of Evansville, who took over thel' chairmanship from Mayor Dress, announced that A. F. of L. and C. I. O. officials had urged mayors of hundreds of communities to send representatives. Two U.

On one side will be Dr. William Larrabee, whose old 1ith District has been wiped out. He “has supported the President's program all the way—was the only

Hoosier congressman to vote for

the draft extension. It’s generally agreed that he can. be nominated in his new district. His opponent will be the 10th District incumbent, Rep. Raymond Springer, an ardent isolationist. ‘This one will attract national attention unless conditions change radically before election time.

» ” ” SECOND IN popular interest is the Eighth District, where Rep. John Boehne reportedly is losing his grip and may get knocked out in the primary. Among other things, he’s being blamed for the failure to land defense orders for Evansville. The Evansville party leaders are down on him for other reasons, too. If the Vanderbugh County leaders can get together on a candidate they should have little trouble nominating him. Right now, State Rep. Winfield K. Denton, who made a good record as minority leader, is being talked the loudest. .. State Senator Roger Phillips of New Albany, minority-leader over there in the recent session and law partner of former U. S. Senator Sherman Minton, is another mentioned prominently. A run-down on the Democratic line-up in the other districts shows: - FIRST DISTRICT: Rep. Raymond Schulte is expected to get

the nomination again. A former labor leader, he’s strong with the | steel and other workers in Lake

County. 2 SECOND- Republican Charles Halleck has run away with the | decision several times, and the Democrats are having trouble © finding’ a strong candidate. Lafayette is the largest city, and some party leaders are trying to prevail upon Tommy Johnson, popular Purdue publicity director, to make the race. Ed Gorrell, Winamac publisher, and James O. Cox, who opposed Rep. Halleck last November, are others being mentioned. - 2 2 8 THIRD—One of the districts where the Democrats are most hopeful of regaining a seat. The Kingsbury Ordnance Works in La Porte County and other defense plants have brought in 10,000 new voters. Marshall County, wkich gave a 2000-vote majority to Rep.
