SOVIET RUSSIA DEFIANCE
War to Death for Japan, Germany If They Molest
 Russian Territory

Moscow, Nov. 27.-(UP)-War to the death against Japan and Ger many If they moleSt Russian terri- tory either on the east or the west was proclaimed today by orators at the Soviet all-union congress.
 The frankest speech was by G. M. Krutov. president of the executive committee of the far eastern area. who warned Japan that Russia will deliver a crushing blow" if at tackled. He referred to the Orient as "the hearth of war"
 we have great many spies and saboteurs crossing your frontiers" Krutov said. Many are caught by lo- ca. peasants, indicating the high pa- triotism of the population. At the needed moment we will deliver a crushing defeat. As Stalin said, the far east Is one of the hearths of war. We see preparations by Japanese im- perialists against the Soviet Union. The foreign policy of the Soviets is one of peace, but we warn Japan frankly that if there is an attack, we will deliver a crushing blow and not give up an inch of territory"
 During Krutov's speech, Marshal Vassili Bluec.ier, commander of the far eastern armies of the Soviets ar- rived from the Oriental frontier and walked into the hall. He was given a warm ovation. Bitter antagonism to fascism also was a keynote of the meeting. The premier of White Rus sia. T.. M. Goloded, said:
 We will not allow White Russia to be separated from the Soviet Union. We will guard our frontiers against fascist bandits"
 A school teacher, Astakova, de- clared:
 we are going to teach our chil. dren to hate faScism."
 A steel wor':er proclaimed:
 we need steel for our enemies-S good, hot steel.

 A half second later the train had stopped and the motorman emerged. whitehead and trembling. He thought he had hit both men.
 Trainmen crawied under the train. Tortore lay, still uncoIi- scious but uriharmed, between the rails. The train had passed over him. And in one of the safety aicoyeg, set in the walls of the tun- nel for such emergencies, was his friend and rescuer, Louis Gatta, 70.
 The accident occurred last night in the Third street station of the municipal line. Tortore explained that he had been celebyek ting Thanksgiving and had lost his hai- azlce and fell of the platform. The line's private policemen charged hiln with disorderly conduct'and inc tnxication.
