Statement Backs Mayor ~~ Over Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 24 (U.P) — President Roosevelt today endorsed Fiorello H. La Guardia for re-elec-tion as mayor of New York and praised his administration of the city as the most honest and efficient: in his recollection. Despite his stride across party lines to endorse the candidacy of the Republican candidate, Mr. Roosevelt deprecated reports that it might result in the resignation of Edward J. Flynn as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Mr. Flynn and other New York City and state. Democratic leaders are backing the candidacy of William O'Dwyer, the Democratic challenger. Although the move jolted New
ganizations, it had been expected.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 2¢ (U. P..
—President Roosevelt disclosed today that he is drafting a huge new armament program to help defeat the Axis, and Secretary of the Navy Prank ' Knox declared that an American-Japanese “collision” is in-
(|evitable if Japan continues her ex-
pansion program. The President revealed the broad aspects of the hew arms production
'|plan at a press conference. He de|scribed the program’ in his own
words as comprehensive but not allout. The first part of the program
{will be a doubling of tank produc-
tion, he said. Col. Knox, addressing a group of ordnance manufacturers and officers of naval establishments, declared: “The situation out in the Far
§ | East is extremely strained.
Exceeds Knudsen Figures
“We are ‘satisfied in our own minds that the Japanese have no intentions of giving up their plans for this expansion. If they pursue that course a collision is inevitable.” In disclosing plans for the new armament program, Mr. Roosevelt said the expansion would go beyond OPM Director William S. Knudsen’s
dium tank production from 1000 to 2000 a month. / All Types Affected
Mr. Roosevelt said the program would mean huge increases in pro-

Forces on Vital Winter Front.
By JOE ALEX MORRIS: United Press Foreign News: Editor The Red Army reported - today that fresh German drives had been repulsed with heavy losses in the mud: dnd snow all along the Eastern Front and there were mounting indications that the Soviets had won the first round of the battle for Moscow. : German dispatches acknowledged that unfAvorable weather had slowed down operatidhs in the. ifdusts Ukraine as well as along the fiercely-contested Moscow fron The fighting en the Eastern Front appeared t6 be moat serious for the Russians in the Ukraine; wheré Mars Semyon Timoshenko had taken command of thé defense of Rostov, Kharkov and the Crimea and ‘was reported heating back repeated German drives.
Recruiting New Armies
The Russians said that large new armies were “being organized in the rear by the Soviets to canny on the war for years. On the Moscow front, the Soviets said they had vepuls new attacks on the Kalinin, Mozhaisk and Maloyaroslavets’ fronts, where the Germans claimed. to be within, 50 and 8 miles of the capital. The indications: of at least a a, temporary Soviet — in the battle for Mostow were revealed ‘in a dispatch fron Kuibyshév, temporary refuge of foreign Uiglomats, by Ww lace Carroll, yeteran United Press staff cor’

Carroll made it clear that the Russians feared that the Nazi forces might sweep up’.to the capital and, in ‘cons : quence, rushéd foreigners out of the city. = ~The fears, however, were not justified. Hasty redige position of Soviet troops, sharp counter-attacks and ci tinued resistance enabled the Moscow defenders to reta the situation and repair the break. In'‘this, it seemed plain, the Russians have been: aided increasingly bad weather whichis slowly but’ steadily: mobilizing the Germans on the central front.
