Germans May Attempt
To Starve leningrad
Into Surrender
Berlin lntimotes Army
Moy Decide Against
Costly Assault
nv the Associated Press.

Hy Ipe ASSoclateo FresS
BERLIN, Sept. 10-High quar-
ters intimated today that the Ger
man Army might decided to starve
and shell Leningrad into surrender
rather than undertake costly
storming of the beleaguered city.
German forces are reported to be
within Is miles of Leningrad at the
nearest point.
Authorized sources acknowledged
that the city had not yet been cut
off from access to Lake Lagoda, but
said it was otherwise surrounded
and the Lagoda connection was de-
clared to be of diminishing value.
No Unnecessary Sacrifice.
Dienst aus Deutschland, the COM
mentary service, said there would
be no unnecessary sacrifice of Ger
man lives to gain a swift triumph
at Leningrad.
There were continued reports that
the Russians, when finally forced to
retreat, leave their trail sown with
land mines. In the city of Schlues-
neers had to remove 10000 of these.
Schluesselburg is 81 miles east of
Leningrad.
There is nothing in these reports
to show how many mines exploded
beneath German troops. But. it is
recounted, even a hospital at
Schluesselburg was thoroughly
mined, the explosives being found in
mattresses of beds and tiles of
stoves.
Dispatches from the front indi-
Gated that the great conflict for
possession of the former capital Of
Russias Czars was becoming more
bitter with each passing hour, with
the Russians firing from all bar
rels"-as one German war CORE
spondent put it.
Called Inferno of Fire.
A Nazi reporter who flew over the
lines described the battle area as
an inferno of rifle, artillery and
machine gun fire.
(The Berlin radio, broadcast
ing a report from competent
quarters" meanwhile declared
that on the central front the
Germans had captured Vyazma,
which is 80 miles east of Smolensk
and only 130 miles west of Mos
COW. Vyazma is so miles north
east of Yelna, where the Rus
slams report their counterof1en-
sive toward Smolensk still is 60
ing strong)
Government quarters still would
not hazard a guess as to how long
Leningrad would be able to stand
the German pressure from the south
and the Finnish pressure from the
north.
German artillery, however, was
reported pouring a devastating fire
into Leningrad's industrial and
military machinery. Pilots reported
fires raging in the area, guiding
them to their targets like beacons.
The city was declared to be largely
dependent on electrical power from
the outside, especially from power
plants along the Svir River to the

Basis 10 End 3-Day
Truck Strike SOUGHT
By Conferees
Firm Will Close Before
Meeting Wage Demands,
Operator Asserts

Disputing factions in the truck
drivers strike met with Govern
ment conciliators today in an effort
to settle the 3-day-old walkout
which has virtually paralyzed move
ment of miscellaneous freight in the
District.
Before attending the conference,
which was still in progress more
than two hours after it opened,
William E. Humphries, head of
Jacobs Transfer Co. and operator
Of the largest feet of trucks in
volved in the strike, declared that
his company could not attempt to
meet union wage demands even
If it means going out of business. u
Average Salaries Submitted.
The strikers are demanding an
increase in weekly pay for drivers
from s31 to s25 and helpers from
$3.50 to $50. Mr.. Humphries argued
that the majority of his drivers
already were making more than $35
week with overtime payments and
submitted salary figures for Is men
averaging s4198.
The companies have offered to
increase the wage scale to S33 for
drivers and $2750 for helpers. but
have refused to consider a union
request for shortening hours from
48 to A a week.
c1tnI1 L1-
by the union will have to be passed
down the line to the buying pub
lic," Mr.. Humphries said, "and, as
for my company, we simply are not
going to do it
On the other hand, Linwooc
Trainham, secretary treasurer OF
the striking union, the A. F. of L
Drivers, Chauffeuys and Helpers
Local No. $50, commended: I'VE are
asking for a small increase in 9
grossly inadequate wage scale tc
help these men meet increased costs
of living. We think the request is
perfectly justif1able and clearly
within reason"
Sheehan Calls Conference.
Mr.. Humphries declared that with
the difference in hours included ir
the union demands, the union ac-
tually is asking for a 2318 pei
cent wage increase.
The conference, taking place al
the Washington Hotel, was called
by Labor Department Conciliator
Frank j. Sheehan, who said he
hoped for quick settlement of the
strike to avoid curtailment of food
shipments to the District. Prin-
cipal railroads already have placed
an embargo on all freight except full
carloads moving into the city.
Chaorman Randolph of the House
District Committee planned to con.
fer today with Senate District Com
mittee Chairman McCarran on any
moves they might make to aid il
settlement Of the walkout. Mr.. Ran
dolph has proposed a conference
between the disputing parties anc
District Committee representative:
of both branches of Congress.
Mr.. Randolph said that impair
ment of needed operation of busi-
ness" by the strike makes necessary
immediate use of all channel,
through which the dispute might be
brought nearer to settlement.
Although few of the materials
tied up by the strike are considered
defense items, it was believed un-
Ekolu tho Noti0no1 nofanea Aadio

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The Cana
dian Norwegian British expedition
to Spitsbergen kept up constant
wireless communication with Ger
man forces in Norway, sending false
weather reports and information.
and the Germans never discovered
the deception until the raid was
over, Canadians said today.
False messages to Tromsoe, Nor
way, told of mostly, cloudy weather
and zero ceiling to keep Nazi planes
from making their regular flights to
the islands, the Canadians said.
Several days after the radio sta
tions were destroyed, frantic mes
sages from the Nazis at Tromsoe

FISH OUT OF WATER

Let paper lie to its readers, or miss
few important news stories, and It's readers
can cut its throat far more effectively
than a dictator could suppress it. Let
mousetrap-maker put his brand orr a BAD
product and, so fast does bad news travel,
he is bankrupt before any red-tape-ridden
government bureau could get its forms
filled in. But no dictator would trust the
people that far.
You see, free speech and free press
are the ENEMIES OF DICTATORSHIP.
They take the BAD NEWS of BAD govern
ment to the people too fast!
The only peaceful way to turn rascal
out of Office is by the power of PUBLIC
OPINION. And the only way to be SURE
he is a rascal and not the victim OF a
purge" or a personal grudge, is to let all
his accusers and all of his defenders have
their say. The newspaper does just this
job of reporting both sides.

More than 300 delegates of the
American Peace Mobilization, here
to protest passage of the British
aid bill, picketed the White House
late yesterday, slowing traffic on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and forcing
the calling of IS policemen to ham
die crowds which gathered.
Carrying American flags and
placards denouncing the bill, the
pickets marched two abreast for
nearly an hour. Inauguration stands
being torn down on the sidewalk
in front of the Executive Mansion
forced the marchers to parade in
the street.
Leaders in the group kept the
pickets moving in a continuous line
as police shunted eastbound traffic
to a single lane.
Legends on Placards.
On placards were written Get Out
and Stay Out of World War 2; Stop
H. r. 1776." and "Lease-Lend Will

ican party members from New York

After their leaders had confer
red with Chairman George of the
Foreign Relations Committee, they
dispersed peacefully and moved on
to Murray's Hall, 920 U street NV
There, speakers. representing trade
unions, youth councils, Negro or
ganizations and other groups, spoke
in opposition to the bill.
Principal speaker of the meeting
was Shamus O'Sheel, Irish poet and
a leader in the Irish movement
who described H. R. 1776 as "a bill
to change this country from a re-
public to an empire"
