GERMAN PLANS
 ARE GOING AHEAD
Fighting Proceeding Just as High Command Had
 Designated It
BY JACK FLEIsCHER

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Berlin, Aug. 16-(UP)-The high command announced today that fighting was proceeding success fully and according to plan" while authorized military spokesmen said Russian troops still were fighting fiercely as they attempted to re- treat in the Ukraine.
 The communique, issued from Adolf Hitler,s headquarters, gave no details of the situation anywhere on the front and the only indica- tionS of the nature of the con- flict came from authorized quar- terS.
 The Russians are fighting maiu- ly rear guard actions, it was as serted, to protect the evacuation of thousands of troops by sea.
 Though the juhilant claims of the Nazis had implied that the Rus sian Ukraine armies had been brok- en, spokesmen said it was expect ed that the Russians would form new defense line along the broad Dnieper river.
 They added that the Germans had not destroyed the best of the Russian troops ''and one can as- sume that formations probably as- sebled here east of the Dnieper can in no way compare in arms, equip- ment and training with the armies which our troops have destroyed or victoriously overcome"
 An indication that the Russians were offering strong resistance to a continued German advance was seen in the new emphasis placed on the activity of the air force, ''pav- ing the way for supporting land forces"
 Open Heavy Attack
 German planes have opened q heavy attack on the Russians, dis patches from the front said. Then attacks are in three phases-sup. porting the German tanks and in fantry in frequent battles which occur in the course of the German

Conference Coming In Moscow Very Shortly
Russian, British, United States Ambassador to Gather for Supreme Allied War Council
 -AnOther Historic Event Assured
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent)

bY EDWAhD w. bEA4 AAG, Jkss United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Aug. 16 - (U.P3 - Pre- mier Josef Stalin will soon summon a Russian British United States conference in Moscow to discuss long term plans to prosecute the war against Germany and political quarters believed today that an ap- proximation of the supreme allied war council of the last war may re- suit from it.
 The American and British am- bassadors in Moscow handed Stalin the letter from President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill suggesting conference and standing beside foreign Com missar Viacheslav Molotov, Stalin asked them to convey his thanks for 1t.
 It was believed here that either Lord Beaverbrook, supply minister who is now in Washington, or For eign Secretary Anthony Eden might represent Britain in the Moscow conference and political con1mehta- tors suggested that the conference was of such importance that Pres- ident Roosevelt might delegate Sec retary of War Henry L. Stimson or Secretary of Navy Frank Knox as his chief envoy.
 Action Is Necessary
 So urgent was the necessity for immediate action that it was be- lieved Stalin was already making arrangements to call the conference on war cooperation
 Coordination in all f1elds-pro- duction, shipping, supply, military strategy and political policy F. was expected to result.
 Britons hailed the letter as the first great Angl-American joint blow at Germany after the conference between the President and Church ill.
 They expected that conference to result in early staff talks between British and American army. ail force and navy representatives.
 In addition to the broad problem of British-Alnerican-R Russian CO operation, naval quarters reported that big developments were impend. ing in the battle of the Atlantic a. the result of the Roosevelt Church ill conference.
 There were reports that talk concerning the Atlantic shippinl

JAPAN TICHTENS
 UP HER ORDERS
After Monday Japanese Are to Ban All Travel of
 Foreigners
BY RoBERT.P. MARTIN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Shanghai, Aug. 16 = (UP0 - Japanese authorities announced to- day that in the future the Manchu- kuo borders would be closed to for eigners and all residents of Man chukuo now in North China must return home before Monday. We'll informed quarters said Manchu- kuo's railroads were being devoted to troop and military supply trans port counting for the drastic or ders.
 Foreigners in Manchukuo were or dered- to leave before Monday and were warned that failure to do so might leave them without trans portation.
 The orders and warnings were considered significant in view of persistent reports that Japan was tremendously strengthening her mill itary establishment on the Man. chukuo- Siberian borders. It was recalled also that official Japanese quarters have admitted continued clashes between Russian and Jap anese troops at several points on the frontier.
 Following receipt of dispatches from Peiping asserting that after Monday the Japanese would ban all foreign travel across the Manchu- kuo border observers here expressed belief that Japanese military moves in Manchukuo were on an even greater scale than hitherto report ed.
 Peiping reported that the Jap- anese had told foreigners now wis., iting Manchukuo that unless they left before Monday they could not (Continued on Page 9

Three Russian Marshals Drive Their Armies With
 Smashing Blows GERMANS SUFFERING
 TERRIFIC LOSSES On Other Fronts British Planes Hammer Hard at
 Germany, Italy
BY NED RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent)

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, August 16.-UP) Three great Russian armies have smashed or slowed ferocious German of fensives all the way from Lake Omega on the Finnish front to the Ukraine, author itative Russian sources aS- serted today.
 Marshals Klementi Voroshilov, Semyon Timoshenko and Semyon Budenny have thrown fresh masses of men and material into the front and the Germans are suffering frightful losses in a desperate at tempt to continue their third grand scale offensive of the war, it was, said.
 On the far northern front, Rus sian troops have smashed German and Finnish attacks west of Lake Omega, northeast of Lake Ladoga. aimed at the grad-Murmansk Arctic Railroad, authoritative Rus sian spokesmen said.
 In the Kholm area of the Len- ingrad-Moscow front, ITO miles west of Moscow and no miles from the Leningrad-Moscow railroad al which the Germans are striking the Russians are beating off SavagS German attacks and inflicting heavy losses, it was said.
 In the Smolensk area, where tho Germans attacked without pausf for a month in their attempt to break the Russian line defending the Moscow region, the Germana are now digging in, Russian in formants said.
 Naxis Bitterly Repulsed
 On the Ukrainian front, 1t was asserted the Russians have repulsed with grave losses a heavy attack west of Kiev, Russian informantS said.
 The Germans attacked with every- thing they had on an exceedingly narrow front, according to the Russian advices, and were beaten back without material gain. It was indicated that the attack, led by massed tanks, had been defi- nitely smashed.
 The informants admitted that in the Uman sector of the Ukrainian front the Germans had gained "a certain success" and that on the rest of that front the situation was extremely confused. But even here, they asserted, the situation was everywhere under control. Moscow had denied all German claims that the Germans had disorganized Budenny's Ukrainian army.
 The encouraging Russian reports caused military experts to wonder whether the Russians had frus- trated, or might frustrate, German preparations for a gigantic new drive against Moscow and Ientns grad, reported from Stockholm.
 Rush Achievements
 Russian intelligence reports from Stockholm said that the Germans were rushing fuel, supplies and trucks to reinforce their armOred divisions for g new drive on Mos- COW.
 Roads behind the German lines were reported to be jammed at night when Russian planes could not see them, with long columns of supply trucks. and other trans ports which lurched along .he bomb-pitted roads between strong guards of pickets posted to beat off attacks by Russian gueriIlas.

AUNAV WA& 82LIA4U1
 Just as soon as the networks signed their recent Hpeace pact" with ASCAP, radio stations from coast to coast were deiuged with music and promotional material from publishers under the ASCAP banner. feel that these publishers, and members of the public, who think that everything's rosy again, shouid be informed that they are laboring under Q misapprehension. True, ASCAP tunes are being played on all network programs, but on most local shows they're still "ver- boten." In other words, the small (and not SO snnall) local stations are not taking out ASCAP licenses bee cause, as I understand 1t, they are turning out to be the goats in the whole affair. Although the percen- tage which must be sfelled out to ASCAP is smaller than 1t was last year, the local station will be paying as much or more because it must continue paying separate percent- age to BNdI, which was -existant under the old set-up. That's why the local broadcasters are holding back. That's why you aren't hearing ASCAp tunes on local record shows. That's why complete and final peace has not been reached on the radio music front.

FOR DEFENSE
 Latest of the network stars to swing into Hlne solidly behind the gOvernmcnt's defense bond drive s the team of Amos m Andy. Freeman Goaden and Charles Cor reII, who portray the beloved radio characters, have included a bond appeal in their broadcasts for months, but they have been cOn- tlnualIy trying to develop more personal and more effective means of stimulating sales. Therefore, from now on they will make . direct appeal to their millions of fans to give Defense Bonds and Stamps as part of their Christ mas gifts to friends and dear ones. Nice idea.
