More and harder work in selling
defense stamps was requested Tues
day by Gordon Scriven, chairman
of the merchants committee, as
the most important feature of Re-
tailers For Defense week, Sept. Is

Defense stamps went on sale in
virtually all retail establishments
in Ell Centre recently SO shoppers
may purchase them while doing
their regular buying.
The retailers throughout the ma
ton adopted a Ia point program
to aid national defense, including
a pledge to maintain as far as pos
sible price levels consistent with
cost, to guard against unfair trade
practices which may injure the pub
lie, to maintain stability in retail
employment, to eliminate scare ad-
vertising to buy now because prices
are rising" to keep consumers in

Wilson Dragged that he was going
to take Hills girl away from him,
Fill told Deputy Sheriff John Crou-
sen. A fight took place near the
woodpile at the home of George
Hill, a relative with whom Wesley
Hill lived near the Indian burying
ground. An axe on the ground by
the woodpile was used to slash Will
sons throat. After the killing, Hill
said, he and his friends left the
scene.
Early Monday morning George
Hill and his family came home
from a party held elsewhere. They
saw a man lying beside the wood
pile and, Crousen said jumped to
the conclusion it must be Wesley
sleeping off a drunk. They carried
the man into the house and placed
him in WeSley's bed without realiz-
ing the man was dead. The body
was found Monday morning. The
blood spattered clothing of Hills
relatives led officers to believe they
were involved in the killing but

The German armed forces. spark
ed by the luftwaffe and tank units,
broke bitter Russian resistance at
unspecified points on the Dnieper
and then advanced "victoriously on
a broad front" according to the
Nazi communique. The Russians
had no comment, but London took
a grave view of the advance as a
threat to the great Donetz basin war
industries.
Berlin also reported in a special
communique that l8 Russian divi-
sions, presumably about 270,000 men,
had been destroyed or defeated in
the Lake linen sector, where the
Red army had been fighting to re-
lieve bombed and battered but still
unbroken defenses of Leningrad.
COUNTER R-ATTACKS FALTER
These developments, while not
necessarily impairing the ability of
the Russians to fight on through
the winter, indicated that the Red
army counter had died
out for the time being
How great the German gains
might be and how much they may
impair the fighting ability of the
Red army remained to be determin-
ed, but in London both American
and British officials were intensi-
flying efforts to speed material aid
to Russia and to convince Moscow
that no sacrifice would be avoided
to bolster the eastern front.
Britain and the United States
were understood to have agreed to
provide Russia with several hun
dred fighting planes a month after
January and to go halves with the
Red army on available materials.
This was said to have resulted from
bitter complaints by Moscow over
the meagre results of British Amer
ican aid in the first two months
of war.
IRAN ROUTE BOLSTERED
Arrangements also were made to
facilitate use of the supply route
across Iran, where British and Rus

The administrative ruling an
nounced last night permits Ameri-

rials and passengers to African and

from which they had been barred

The state department announced
that Attorney General Francis Bid

held that President Roosevelt's pro-
clamation that state of war ex-
