u. 5. Will Repeat Plea
To Vichy for Visas
For Consular Officials

Misunderstood in
Refusing First Request
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.


The United States will make a
renewed request for viSas for Is
American Consuls and clerks as
signed to unoccupied France and
French North Africa. it was learned
today, on the assumption the Vichy
government automatically "misun-
derstood' the situation when it re-
fused the Americans. now in For-
tugal, permission to proceed to their
new posts.
A final refusal by the Vichy gov
ernment without a satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of its unusual action, it
was said in informed quarters,
would place an added strain on
already badly strained relations.
German Pressure Hinted.
One authoritative report-not de-
MED by State Department officials
declared the Vichy government re-
fused the visas under German
pressure.
The Consuls and clerks include
some who were ordered to leave
Germany and German-occupied
territories in retaliation for the
United States expulsion of German
consuls, employees and representa-
tives of Semi-official agencies in
mid-July.
Since the consular officials already
were in Europe and available for
duty, the State Department as
unoccupied France, Tunisia, Algeria
and Morocco to replace officials there
who are due for home leave.
Embassy Here Silent.
French Embassy officials here said
they had no information throwing
light on Vichy's decision in the
matter
American Consuls now in the
French North African colonies are
overseeing the distribution of food
stuffs and other civilian supplies
shipped there from the United
States under an arrangement with
Gen. Maxine Weygand, Vichy'S

American conSulates in unoccupied
France have been overburdened at

of applications for visas to enter
the United States from the esti-

Anno NoeeI's Wedding
To Flyer Postponed
BY the Associated Press,

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 22-This was
to have been Anne Nagel's wedding
day, but the Universal Studios star
let probably will have to wait until
January, l943, to become Mrs. John
Robertson.
Ensign Robertson is an await ton
instructor for the Dutch East Indies
government. He wired yesterday
from Java that it probably would be
at least II months before he'll be
free to return. He resigned as an
ensign in the United States Navy
last January to go to the East Indies.
Miss Nagel had applied for a pass
port to fly to Java for the ceremony
but was informed new Government
regulations forbid American women
from going to the Dutch East Indies.

Losses of 5,000.OOO.

Some Semi-oficial sources have
figured that roster of prisoners of
such magnitude would indicate total
Red Army losses in dead. wounded
and captured of about 5000 900. but
the high command did not 60 that
far
1t still was silent on Germany's
own losses, but it declared her arm
les and those of her allies were
deep in Russia in 'unbroken
strength" while the Red Army had
suffered casualties unimaginably
high"
In language rejecting satisfaction
with the achievements of the first
two months, the communique re-
ported operations in full progress
on the entire front" and gave this
broad outline of the situation:
In the Southern Ukraine, the op-
ponents' last bases on the Dnieper
are being eliminated according to
plan with heaviest losses for the
foe.
Northwest of Kiev the enemy is
retreating beyond the Dnieper.
In the region east of Gomel pur-
suit of the defeated opponent is be-
ing continued.
In the front before Leningrad
and in Estonia our troops are fight
ing their way steadily forward. At
tackS on the Finnish front on both
sides of Lake Ladoga are gaining
ground daily"
German forces tightening their
ring around Odessa we're reported
by German military sources to have
occupied the port of Ochakov, As
miles east of the big, beleaguered
Black Sea port and naval base.
These sources said Ochakov. which
they called a base for light forces
of the Red Navy. was taken by
German division which distinguished
itself in the Greek campaign.
In bold assault, they said the
division overcame stubborn Russian
resistance and heavy fire from
coastal artillery and naval guns
trying to defend the harbor which
lies between the previously occupied
cities of Nikolaev and Kherson.
Just as the capture of Novgorod
IS threatening Russian railway
communications in the north, so the
German advance to Gomel in the
central sector south of Moscow
menaces communications between
Moscow and Kiev, the Nazis said.
There was no indication as yet
that the German armies in the
Ukraine had made any attempt to
force a crossing of the Dnieper
River, east of which the Russians
are trying to set up new defense
line.
All day yesterday German dive
bombers were reported to have
pounded railways and Russian troop
concentrations in the vicinity of
Dnieperopetrovsk at the great bend
of the Dnieper. An army barracks
at Cherkasi, on the Dnieper between
Kiev and Dnieperopetrovsk, was
said to have been blasted by bombs.

the Leningrad front, destroying q

to have greatly weakened the posi-
ton of Marshal Semeon Timoshen-
kos forces defending the road to
Moscow, most observers expressing
belief the Germans probably would
turn southeast from Gomel toward
the Ukraine.
Thousands of Leningrad men were
said to have volunteered for the
Peoples Army while the regular
army carried on the struggle amid
late summer transforms. The near
est German positions reported here
were about 70 miles south of Lenin-
grad, although German and Finnish
forces apparently were slightly
closer in their drive from the north.
Encircled Reds Prove Menace.
Newspaper reports said encircled
Russian units had proved thorns
in the German side. The Red Star
said one detachment, surrounded 10
days in an underground fortress,
held out until relieved by a Russian
counterattack.
Russians asserted there was little
surface evidence of the war in
Kiev, declaring new vaudeville
theater had opened there and its
first performance was a sell-out.
There was little news of the
Ukranian situation, but the In
formation Bureaus midnight COM
munique mentioned one individual
action interpreted here as indicating
that a major Soviet withdrawal to
the east side of the Dnieper River
was in progress despite strong at
tacks by the Luftwaffe.

Trans Answer to Note
Arrives in London

LONDON, Aug. % LP,.-Iran's
answer to the British Russian re-
quest that German technicians be
banished from that Near East oil
kingdom reached here tonight as
both Britain and Russian appeared
to be ready to use force.
The contents of the note were not
disclosed.
Soviet sources, however, acknowl-
edged that joint action by Britain
and Russia to oust the Nazis from
Iran were probable if London and
Moscow are not satisfied with the
note.
Authoritative British sources
earlier had declared that Britain
was considering vigorous measures"
although they would not discuss
projected operations and said none
had been launched so far.
The contents of the note probably
will not even be commented on be-
fore tomorrow
Relayed by Minister.
1t was relayed here by the British
Minister to Tehran, Sir Reader Will
liam Bullard, and already is under
consideration at the Foreign Office
The Iranian reply thus reached
London inside the week usually as
signed in diplomatic circles as
courtesy period" within which re-
plies to memoranda or notes between
governments should be made. Brit
ish quarters, although acknowledge
ing that Iran was pressed for quick
answer, denied an ultimatum had
been issued
Usually well-informed persons
called the presence of German tech
nicians in key Iranian industrial
and communications positions Sc
rious but they said a satisfactory"
answer would make the British and
Russians content to let Iran oust
the Nazis herself.
