More Fires Started
The British air ministry said that "large fires" were started at Essen In the latest attack on the heart of Germany's war production, and that a vast pall of smoke over the city hindered Nazi anti-aircraft gunners Fourteen British planes failed to return from the attack, compared with 35 lost in Monday night's allout assault and 44 lost in Saturday night's assault on Cologne. The Cologne raid launched the massive attacks which Prime Minister Winston Churchill said will become even greater when the U. 8 8ir force soon joins the aerial offensive, Maintain Heavy Tempe The R.

Quotes the Press
“Recently, in the press, at least, there have been repeated announcements of the possibility of drafting labor to the extent of the federal government being able to just take a group of people from this location and put them some other place where they can be most effective, “Was this taking over of the employment offices by the federal government anticipatory of that proposal, which appears to be in the offing? And from your statement I would gather that it has been given consideration. “Was that one of the reasons why vou have taken these offices all over, so that you will be in shape to administer this draft of labor, SO to speak?" Mr, McNutt—“Well, I think the term ‘drafting of labor’ is unfortunate.” Rep. Keefe—"That is the term that is given to it in the press.” Mr. MeNutt—“By the press, but not by anyone else.” Rep. Keefe—“What would you prefer to call it? I have no particular desire to use that word either.” Mr. MeNutt— “Well, it is the prop er placement of labor.” Rep. Keefe—"“All right, we will call it placement of labor. The effect would be the same.” Mr. MeNutt—"“Not necessarily. When we think of draft, we think

developed the fields between the Urals and the Caspian sea has not been revealed. The supply might possibly be adequate, but if not, loss of the Caucasus would be a handicap to the army. The Russians have been awaiting this southern drive by the enemy and it was to checkmate it that Marshal Semyon Timoshenko launched his bold Kharkov drive three weeks ago. That was a few days after the Germans made their preliminary threat to the Caucasus by attacking in the Kerch peninsula. : Russ Dispute Claims
Whether Marshal Timoshenko achieved his purpose is difficult to determine. It is probable that at least he delayed the southward offensive and forced the Germans to use up men and much material, especially tanks, intended for that drive.
victory in
German time - table has wrecked, At any rate, the lull in the Kharkov region indicates that the Germans are reorganiging, either for a renewed offensive there or for the main southern drive. Another result of Timoshenko's attack is that the German success in the Kerch peninsula has been nullified for the time being. The Germans are not likely to attempt a drive across the Kerch strait into the difficult terrain of the northern Causcasus until they have taken Rostov and protected their flank.

Mr. Lyttelton brought with him a staff of 10 experts from his own and other offices dealing with supplies and production matters in Britain. His schedule today calls for conferences with President Roosevelt

On a recent visit to London, Lieut. Gen. Brehon Somervell, chief of the U. S. army supply services, emphasized the importance of standardizing allied war equipment, and it was believed that that would be one of the objectives of the Lyttelton mission. The government leaders are believed to be talking in terms of broad policy and strategy, leaving the mechanics of action to experts of their armed forces and economic groups.
