Continued from Page D of Price Administration and Civ ilian Supply which announced tine automobile curtailment said confer ences with consumer durable goods industries will be called soon to carry out the proposed cuts in house. hold equipment "as quickly as pos- sible."
 Conserve Material
 The curtailment, they said, will be ordered for the same reasons to conserve material, machines and manpower for rearmament.
 The steady flow of tanks, planes, ships and guns from defense in- dustries is taking more and more steel, iron, secondary aluminium, copper, tin and host of other ma Ferials normally used in civilian manufacture.
 Automobiles and most of the com- modities to be subjected to the or- der are included in the list of ar- ticles set forth by the Federal Re- serve Board in its recently recSm1 mended curbs on installment buy ing to prevent imitation by holding down the consumption of civilian goods. The board proposed to limit time purchases to 18 months and to require down payments ranging from Is to B 1-3 per cent of the articles value.
 Labor officials estimated that the initial cut in automobile production would mean the displacement of about 100000 workers in the indus try. The OPM's labor division is conferring with C1O, AFL and in- dustry representatives in an effort to retain some workers in defense plants being constructed by the automobile industry, to re-train and re-employ others in defense work in other areas and to con- vert present passenger car machines to defense production.
 Trucks to Increase
 It was revealed that large truck orders have been assured the com- panies to maintain their employ ment. Truck production will in- crease this year from 900,189 to IT, 189,O00 units.

 The priorities division also an- nounced it will provide materials to producers of farm equipment and repair parts "to produce crops, live stock, poultry and other farm pro- ducts" needed for defense.

all efforts of German bombers to penetrate the Soviet second city's defenses had been repulsed.
 More than 100 German planes al- ready have been shot down by night fighters and anti-aircraft batteries in the Leningrad area, Protsvetking said.
 German planes were said to have made IT attempts to raid Leningrad yesterday alone.
 Having failed to break through to the metropolitanaarea it was re- ported, the Luftwaffe is engaged in systematic attempts to destroy air. dromes in the vicinity of Leningrad to facilitate bombing of the city later.

 Residents of Leningrad, at mass meetings in factories and offices pledged themselves to defend Le- ningrad to the last drop of blood and fight the Germans so they will find graves behind the city's walls"
 However, Leningrad's stores were reported doing a brisk business and theaters and movies continued to function normally.
 In brief, the rival communiques described the fighting fronts as fol- lows:
 ! TAkMtAnS EEUWk
 North-The battle for Leningrad ragged with steadily increasing fury at the Germans, aided by Finnish troops, sought to close in from the west, the south and the northwest. The German attack by Stuka dive bomberS, mechanical units and ar- tillery was described as like a sheet of flame" threatening the deStruc- tion of the great industrial city, while the Russians reported that the military and the 5000 900 people of Leningrad formed 8 living wall" of defense.
 The Russian communique said that fighting was more furious than ever in the KlngiSepp and Novgorod area, which would indicate the Ger mans still were 60 or 70 miles from the city, but Berlin reported that the Nazi spearheads had advanced beyond those areas and were fur- ther within the defenEes and near ing the Moscow-Leningrad railroad.
 South-The Germans, who pre- viously had claimed domination of all of the Ukraine west of the Dnieper, admitted that they stils were fighting frrtously in that area but the high command reported that "the last" Red army positions on the west bank were being wiped out with huge casualties inflicted on the enemy. Germans reported the cap- ture Of Nikopol, ste of rich mag nanese deposits, and said the Luft- watie was bombing the big Dniepro- petrovsk industrial area and caaor- kasi, both on the river.

 Opposite oe Anarchy
 @synarchy" was defined as the op- posite of anarchy seeking 8 strong concentration of power in contrast to anarchy,s dispersal of authority. L'Appel published what it said, was Coutrot,s plan, calling for the earliest possible peace, the creation of league of major nations of Eu- rope and Africa under the name ''Paneurafrica," and five leagues of minon nations. The major nations would pool their colonial interests to form a world empire.
 It was described as a plan for revolution from the top, as a means for the major nations of the world imposing their will on minor nations without violence. It called for @ s'real democracy based on natural heirarchy," extending down from the group of major nations through the states, regions, communities, organized. professions, families, to the individual.
 L'Appel named the French bank CT Hippolyte Worms and the indus trialist Baron de Nervo as support CTS of "synarchy," and Pierre Etienne F'landin, former premier, as liaison agent between French synarchists and American and Britain.

 Ashore, the fire was sighted by the nnotornan of q passing New York Central trailas who blew such blasts from the train whistle that q police radio car sped to investi- gate and was able to spread the fire alarm.
 The Federal Bureau of Investi- gation was notified immediately. FBT agents have been investigat- ing the burning of the Panuco all week and were reported to have found no evidence of sabotage, although they are still assigned to the case. Search for the bodies of missing Paniico crew members and longshoremen is still under way. One was recovered early this morn ing, raising the list of known dead to 10.
 Crowds Attracted
 The Aurora was anchored a mile north of the George Washington bridge, 1000 feet from the Manhat- tan Borough bank. The fire and rescues attracted crowds to upper Riverside drive at Fort TryoE1 park.
 Anderson said that by the tirne the crew got the hose in action the fire was out of control.
 The captain suffered his burns when he dashed to the pantry sec tion to rescue the waitresses, not knowing that they were the first ones awakened.
 Since arriving from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with Q cargo of linseed oil, rye grain and hides, the Aurora had awaited orders. Finland had gone to war with Russia, Bfitain'S ally, hence the ship presumably was subject to seizure by British warships had she ventured into the Atlantic.
 The Aurora was anchored in mid- stream opposite upper Manhattan, where foreign ships frequently stay to avoid wharf charges while await ing cargoes. The Federal Bureau Of Investigation. which has been in- vestigating the Brooklyn fire, was notified of the new one but did not indicate whether 1t would be investigated. The possibility of saboteurs having started the Brook lyn fire had been minimized by authorities.

TIPS to
CHOOSE BEANS WISELY

OAOOoA ASA@<@&No svAo4S6&
THE gardener should be well &C.
= quainted with the many avail
able varieties of stringless beans,
if he is to get the most from his
bean crop.
If earliness is the principal in
terest, the gardener should select
either Bountiful (green-podded) or
Golden Wax (yellow). Bomtiful
is excellent for use when small,
in shoe-string size. 1t is also a
good choice for home canning, for
it produces abundantly.
The gardener interested in yield
over a long season should select
both a bush bean, and pole bean.
The pole beans begin producing
when the yield from the bush
beans tapers off.
Kentucky Wonder is one of the
best all-purpose pole beans. It
provides good quality snap beans.
When past the snap stage, the pods
may be cut up, and cooked
southern style. Later, this bean
may be used in the green shell
stage. In the more mature stage
the beans may be used in baking
or in soup.
