German Losses Exceed Million
Men in Russia, U. S. Experts Soy

only a careful appraisal of prob
abilities based on the clashing Ber-
lin and Moscow claims. There was
an earlier independent report, how
ever, that German casualties
reached a million in the first three
weeks of fighting. The campaign Is
now in its eighth week.
Indications were that, for the
time being, official Washington had
little more accurate material avail
able than the belligerents' own fig
ures. Indeed, some officials were in
clined to doubt that either Berlin
or Moscow was in position to make
more than round figure calculations
of a general nature.
Without stating German casual
ties, Berlin has put Russian losses
in killed and prisoners at 1000 900.
Moscow countered with an esti-
mate of 1,500 900 for Germany and
900 1000 for Russia. Vichy military
observers put the estimates at l.
1000 for Germany and 2,OOO, 900
for the Red Army.
Before the invasion of Russia. the
Wehrmacht's heaviest acknowledged
losses were in the battle of France.
The Berlin official figures were:

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Aug. 1.-THE Red
Army, reinforced by a rising tide
of militia, was reported holding
firm along the central battle
front today, but officials &C
knowledged that defense lines at
the north and south f1anks we're
drawn back nearer Leningrad
and deeper into the Ukraine.
Fighting continued throughout
last night in the long
Smolensk salient and at Bel Tserkov,
south of Kiev, a midday communi-
que said, but a new battle was in
tensifying in the Uman area half
way between Kiev and Odessa in the
Ukraine
The Russians also reported fight
ing yesterday in another new sector,
near Solsti, directly south of Lenin-
grad and 70 miles east of the Esto-
nian frontrier.
Observers in London said there
was information that the Ger
mans were making substantial
progress southeast toward the
Black Sea port of Odessa, and on
beyond Uman in an effort to
pinch of most of the Ukraine be-
fore the September rains. Some
quarters in London said the Ger
man push might have crossed the
Dnieper River, which the Ger
mans reported having reached
beyond Uman last week.
Tactics Described.
The Red Army reported effective
use of cavalry in its traditional role
of lightning attack within the op-
posing lines.
The communique described the
tactics used by one cavalry group to
shatter a German regiment. As
preparation for the attack. one cav
airy squadron was ordered TO fake a
withdrawal.
A company of the German regi-
ment attempted to outf1ank this
unit, whereupon the Russians at
tackled in force, wiped out the entire
company, it was said, and split the
regiment into several groups, en-
circling scme.
Only a small portion of the regi-
ment. identified as the 480th, was
able to withdraw. and about 500 Ger
mans were killed and wounded and
others taken prisoner, according to
the Russians, Reported destroyed
were 19 tanks, s mortars, 81 light
machine guns, 6 anti-tank guns. 10
automobiles and several motor
cycles.
Moscow Has 18th Raid.
Moscow's civilian casualties mount
ed as several waves of German
planes attacked overnight In the
10Th raid Or the Soviet capital. In
cendiaries tou<hed off fires in the
ruin of dwellings smashed by high
explosives.
The Russians reported that. like
the night before, only few Of the
raiders broke through the city's
defenses of anti-aircraft fire and
night fighters. Five raiders were
reported downed last night during
the alarm, which lasted hours and
Is minutes, and 10 in the mass
raid Saturday night.
A Russian communique yester-
day reported fierce battles had de-
veloped in two new Sectors-near

First Improvements.

Mr.. Hunter mentioned among the
first improvements planned by Capt.
H c. Whitehurst, District highway
director, the removal of the traffic
bottleneck on Fourteenth street
SW. at Maine avenue.
At the suggestion of Representa-
tive Schultz. Democrat, of Indiana
the committee deferred action on a
bill modernizing the Districts fire
prevention regulations. The meas
ure was reported favorably by a sub
committee of which Representative
Harris, Democrat, of Arkansas was
chairman.
Mr.. Schultz said he had been re
liably informed that only one
company could furnish the type of
equipment which the bill would re-
quire. He felt that the committee
should have more time to examine
the bill.
Mr.. Harris pointed out that the
measure did not specify any type of
equipment but left it to the Commits
sioners to devise the details of the
safety regulations and to specify

District Committee
Reports Out Bill for
1-Cent Gas Tax Hike
Two-Cent Proposal to
Finance New Street
Program Is Rejected

The House District Committee re-
ported out today bill to increase
the District gasoline tax from 2 to
3 cents a gallon.
The measure, designed to finance
a long-range program of street and
road Improvements, was approved
unanimously by the committee. It
would go into effect January l, 1912,
and continue until June 80, 1949
A subcommittee, headed by Repre-
sentative Hunter, Democrat, of Ohio,
had scaled down the proposed in
crease from 2 TO l cent.
Mr.. Hunter explained that District
officials had reported the 1-cent ad-
ditional would be sufficient for the
time being and would enable them
to get the program under way.
Says Increase is Enough.
Under more normal conditions. Mr.
Hunter told the committee, the sub
committee might have recommended
the 2-cent tax increase provided in
the original bill introduced by Chair
man Randolph of the District Com
mittee, but. owing to the labor situa
ton and other emergency factors, 1t
was felt that l cent was enough at
this time.
The subcommittee chairman saio
the American Automobile ASsocia-
ton had agreed to a l-cent increase
though the Keystone Automobile
Association opposed any increase.
Representative Russell, Democrat
of Texas said he felt the improve
ment program was badly needed
though he also thought money or
our streets has not been properly
spent" and more careful auditing Of
street expenditures probably wa,
necessary.
Mr.. Hunter said the Capital Tran
sit Co. opposed the increase, point.
ing out that its profits would be cut
down by the higher price it woulc
have to pay for gasoline. Some loca
labor interests also had opposed the
tax increase, on the ground that il
would add to the cost of living, he
said.
