UNDATED, Sept. g tPD Mus solini's command reported that Italian warships entered the port of Gibralter, Britain's great Med iterranean fortress and sank 4 merchant ships under the guns of the big rock citadel. Aside from an Italian torpedo attack on Gibraltar shipping last year, this is the first naval assault since French and Spanish ships un- successfully shelled the British garrison there during the winter of l782.
 The type of warships engaged in the current raid were not dis closed. Describing the bold raid, the Italian command, identified the attackers as merely assault units" which entered the bay and inner port to sink three ships cut right and damage another so ser iousiy that ii was assumed lost.
 Authoritative London quarters met the Italian claim with "abso- lutely no comment The attack apparently took the British by surprise since the Gibraltar har- boc is protected by moles, nets, miaefelds and the great guns of the high rock which has long been considered secure against close-in assault.

Discount Reports Kiey Taken

UNDATED, Sept. 20 (P) - Al though clearly in a desperate DO sition in the Ukraine, the Red Army is reported still fighting heavily at Kiev and they said the Germans lost ten divisions, or up to 150,000 men in assaulting the city.
 The German high command said the citadel was stormed yes- terday and Russian officers fled as the whole Red garrison sur rendered. This left some doubt, however, whether the Germans occupied the old Ukrainian capit al or merely smashed into a part of it. A Soviet midday commun- ique today made no acknowledge ments except to place the heav- jest fighting directly at Kiev.
 A high source in London ex- pressed doubt that the Nazis have done as well as they have claimed. Russian sources in Lon- don admitted tkat Kiev, Lenin- grad and even Moscow might ev entually be lost. The Soviet Union did not think of defeat, but said a withdrawal strategy has been planned.
 At London, Reuters new agency quoted the Nazi-controll- ed Paris radio as saying that Ger mans in Paris shot 12 more host ages in reprisal for attacks on a German soldier three days ago.
 The Italian high command re- ported that two Italian trans ports, taking troops from Libya, were torpedoed and sunk off Fri poll but nearly all soldiers and the crew were saved.
 w. Averell Hartman, head of the American delegation said in London that an agreement on i'm mediate material aid for Russia was reached by the British and United States missions including hundreds of planes and tanks.

Siberian Puppy

From mushing with an Alas kan dog team to mascot for an airline, that's the exciting story of "Taku," Siberian huskie pup- pys adopted by Western Air. Lines officials during a recent survey trip to Alaska.
 The puppy one from the ken- nels of Alaska famed woman musher, Mary Joyce, began his journey from Taku Pass in the glacier region near Juneau by boat to Seattle last week. Then he was flown from Seattle to Butte, where another plane car ried him south to Los Angeles, speeding in a few hours a dis ance which would take year for dog team to mush.
 Leo. H.

Germans reported that about 30 Soviet divisions, perhaps 450,000 troops were "annihilated' so far. In the trap east of Kiev, the four Red armies encircled there, are reported struggling to blast their way out of the Nazi ring. While the Germans asserted that the beleaguered armies are tightly sealed Moscow dispatches said they are seeking to fall back to kharkov, heart of the Donets River industrial basin.

RUSSIA SURPRISES
THE EXPERTS
Nevada State JournaD

From day to day Hitler's news dispatch
writer's rely more and more on the short
ness of mans memory. At several points
Russian resistance is developing sixty
odd miles back of where the Germans
had advanced more than week ago
against slight resistance; the Russians
are bringing up reserves, Of which the
NaZiS said ten days ago there were no
more; there is heavy fighting at Smo-
lensk, which Hitler said last week was
far behind him and the campaigns along
three sectors are proceeding according
to schedule" without proceeding at all.
The opinion in authoritative London
quarters that the Nazi drive against the
Soviet Union is slowing down, If it has
not been checked entirely, is doubtless
based as much upon these strange Ger.
man reports as it is upon word from
British observers in Russia. There are
several inhibitions against taking an op-
timistic view of Russia's position.
First, there is the dread of WiShful
thinking, which has got Hitler's foes into
trouble on other occasions; second, there
is lingering belief, amounting almost
to conviction, that Russian production
was joke; third, there is realization
that the Russians are clever propagan-
diSts; and fourth, Stain was an enigma
for so long that it is not easy to esti-
mate the degree of his determination to
see this fight through to the end.
On the basis of six weeks of the strug-
gle, with Hitler achieving no important
objective, it appears that Russia's mill
tary strength consists of more than un-
wieldly man power. 1t is probably that
although Russian industry has been ham,
pered in its development by lack of skill
In organization and by strict political
control, much more military equipment
was produced than was generally realiz-
ed.
1t may turn out, indeed, that Stain
was the only head of European state
who started to get ready about the time

Hollywood S Fads, Fancies and Foibles

Fl o L L Y WOOD, Aug. IL -
"Golly!" exclaimed Private Kenneth
Wilkinson. You know, some of the
fellas used to kid me about going
to movies all the time. But this is
what I get for it. Golly!"
The champion movie-goer of the
United States Army waved toward
a crowded set on RKO's Stage Z.
The gesture included, by implica-
ton, all that he had seen for sew
eral days past: every studio and al
most every star; a big premiere
and a party at Ciro's; luncheons
in his honor, with big producers
and Will Hays making speeches;
all the newsreels taking his pic
ture; chauffeured limousines, and
a suite at a hotel in Beverly Hills.
Golly!
He had been obliged to buy a
second autograph book, and it was
almost filled. And when he went
back to Camp Lewis, Wash, he'd
have maybe a hundred photographs
that had been taken of him with
different actors and actresses. Oh,

He was on a Today leave visit

when it happened. A story got into
the papers about how the soldier
had seen more than 300 movies in
10 months. Mr.. Hays had written
the commanding general, and the

The vast sums of money which
have been poured into the defense
program are beginning to circulate.
The makings of the kind of a
"silk-shirt spending spree like that
which swept across the country in
World War days and directly after
ward are all present. But there is a
difference, and that difference is
all to the good.
The America that comes into this
period of war prosperity is a diff
ferent America from the one which
entered that of 1916-1920. We have
been chastened; many have had a
hard struggle for 10 years; we do
not have the same child like conf
dence that good times will go on

after employment began to leap
forward, retail sales generally did
not reflect the advanced purchasing
power, even in towns where its pres
ence was obvious. One reason is
that many, many people had obli-
cations which they wanted to clear
up before they did anything directly
for themselves. Money orders went
streaming out of defense centers to
the folks back home" People
wanted to clear the decks of debt
and obligation while they could;
then if the whole thing collapsed,
they would at least start even.
Now those who have a finger on

WERE NOT SO
BADLY OFF, AT THAT
PrlVation IS a comparative thing

Privation Is comparative thing.
To the man who has been used to seven
course dinners all his life, it is privaton
to obtain nothing but a meal consisting
of only one staple, no matter how whole
some and abundant. To the housewife
who has been used to a completely cleo
trified home, it is privatiOn to have any
thing less. To the man who has been
used TO driving his car every time he must
travel two city blocks, it is privation to
have to walk.
There has been a terrific fuss in the
United States recently about the priva-
tions brought on by silk shortage, and
the potential priVationS in a gasoline
shortage. And in all the fuss, one thing
has been completely overlooked.
1t is the fact that the fuss we make
about such minor things is the best proof
in the world of how we'll off we have
been, and still are We're fretting and
fuming about losing things the people
of three-fourthS of the world never had.
We're grousing and cussing because we
are deprived, or are about to be deprived
of things most of the people on this old
globe would consider the ultimate in
luxuries.
Our women are panicky because in the
near future they're liable to have to do
without silk stockings. They should con-

in a continuous uproar when a
pretty girl like Lamour or Landis
or Cradle is on the screen. Whis-
tling, you know, and wisecracks."
NO LADIES' MAN
That sort of disorder is the rea-
son why Wilkinson has seen only
about 80 of his 3O0-plus pictures
at camp. He'd rather spend 35 cents
for round-trip bus fare to Tacoma,
and pay two or three times the ad-
mission Army theaterS charge. 1t
isn't that he dislikes the camp or
the men, it's just that he doesn't
gamble, or care for cards, or go
with girls.
Nobody coached Private Wilkin-

emit. He's awmully candid. At the

how long will they go on doing so? What
will make them stop supporting their

Air raids on Germany-on Berlin and
the great industrial centers-will make
them stop. Not because the German
people cannot take it. They can. There
Is no use Understanding them. They
can suffer as much as any other people,
and still fight, as long as they believe
in the thing they are fighting for. No, it
will not be the destruction hammered out

WASHINGTON, Aug. II - In
trying to figure out what to do
about keeping the drafteeS in serV-
ice, there has perhaps been more
beating of bushes and chests, more
tearing of hair and nerves, more
confusion, more psychological ma
neuvering and more frantic at
tempts to feel the public pulse and
then look worried, than on any is
sue that has bothered Congress this
year.
To see just how silly it has been,
all you have to do is go back and
read the selective service law, tech
nically known as Public No. 1888,
10th Congress, Chapter 720-Third
session, S. AGA, An act to provide
for the common defense by increas-
ing the personnel of the armed
forces of the United States and
providing for its training"
So Labelled, you can't miss it.
Turn now to Section 3, subSeCtions
(b) and (c). 1t is legal language,
but not too tough, so tag along and
you'll get the point:
"Cb) Each man inducted . shall
serve for a training period of
twelve consecutive months, unless
sooner discharged, except that when
ever the Congress has declared that
the national interest is imperiled,
such twelYe-month period may be
extended by the President to such
time as may be necessary in the
interests of national defense.
"CcJ Each such man, after the
completion of his period of training
and service under subsection Cb),
shall be transferred to a reserve
component of the land or naval
forces of the United States; and
until he attains the age of forty
five, or until the expiration of a
period Of ten years after such trans
fer, or until he is discharged from
such reserve component, whichever
comes first, he shall be deemed to
be member Of such reserve COM
ponent and shall be subject to such
additional training and service as
may now or hereafter be prescribed
by law: Provided, that any man
who completes at least twelve
months training and service in the
land forces under subsection Cb)
and who thereafter serves satisfac-
torily in the Regular Army or in
the active National Guard for
period Of at least two years, shall,
in time of peace, be relieved of any
to serve in any reserve
component of the land or Naval
forces Of the United States and
from further liability for the train
ing and serve under subsection Cb),
but nothing in this subsection shall
be construed to prevent any such
man, while in a reserve component
OF such forces, from being ordered
or called TO active duty in such
forces"

AS THE TWIG IS BENT

Jamestown, n. Y, Post)
Two mothers were strolling through
the park one sunny afternoon, and at the
side of each was a small child. One
mother glanced hurriedly around as her
offspring picked handful of flowers,
and said quickly: IF you see a police
man, throw the flowers away and walk
straight ahead"
The other mother was pointing out to
her small son the various blooms, NAM
ing them and saying: Don't touch, but
Just smell. The pretty flowers belong
to everyone who comes here, and we'll
leave them for other children to enjoy"
Two children were being educated in
way that society, later, will have diff
Guilty in uneducating or re-educating. One
was being conditioned to anti-social prac-
tices; the other to public spirit.
We wonder if the time may not come
in the lives of these two boys when the
one will wonder why he inclines toward
cunning and the other toward civic re-
sponsibility. And society may wonder, as
1t weighs the merits of these two men,
why and how the twig was bent the direc-
ton in which the bough nclines.
But there is no mystery to one listen
