the emergency.
The Navy Department has re-
quested that any person knowing of

enlistment in the Navy or the Naval
Reserve because of minor physical
reasons should bring this modification
in physical requirements to the atten-
ton Of these young men.

enlistees arrive at Training Stations.

be accepted provided their 1. Q's are
Is or better Recruits suffering from
hernia will be treated at the Training
Stations and will be enrolled for

viding the condition is not due to

the Germans to retreat from forti-
fed position on the Leningrad front
In striking from the Valdai Hills
south of Leningrad, toward Kalinin
the Germans were driving north OF
the Volga, which sweeps in a great
arc from northeast of Moscow to
the northwest and forms natural
defense both for Kalinin and the
area Immediately north of Moscow
Battlefields and roads were COW
cred by slush as result of au-
tumnal snow flurrieS and German
commentators said bad weather and
poor roads were handicaps in the
drive to the east.
Leningrad Defense Mentioned.
The Leningrad defense again drew
official recognition. Soviet troops
based near that beleaguered city
were declared to have made a very
successful attack against the Ger
man troops and destroyed seven
batteries, 26 machine guns, 2e
machine-gun firing points (emplace-
ments), so motor lorries with infan-
try and killed 1900 German SOL
diers."
The slaughter was likened by S. A
Lozovsky, Soviet vice commissar of
foreign affairs. to that of the 1916
battle of Verdun, concentrated in
smaller time limit here, with
greater mechanical forces partici-
pating.' The French admitted
nearly $4,000 casualties and the
Germans 100000 in that World War
engagement.

A strike had halted excavation
today for q northern exit from
Washington Nationa. Airport and a
road at Boiling Field, Army flying

threatened the balance of big pro-
gram at the two cir fields.
G. Loeffler, jr., chief engineer of
the Tulfano Contracting Co.. which
is doing the work, said % A. F. l..
steam shovel operators and truck
drivers had walked of the WASH
ington Airport project because one
steam shovel engineer, owning his
own machine. belongs to C. I. o.
union. About 18 A. F. L. unionists
then stopped work at Boiling Field,
he declared, because the same COM
pany is operating there. He said
contracts amounting to about $780,
900 are now stalled.
No union spokesman could be
reached for comment early today,
but it was learned that the union
contends that engineers, teamsters
and laborers belonging to no union
have been employed on the projects
for some time.

ton for the Army Engineers Office

tween the runways, so planes. may

The job is classified as a national

Sharp Auto Output Cut
For January Ordered

Defense authorities today an
nounced that automobile production
in January, 1912, will be limited TO
maximum of 81 per cent under
January of this year and that, due
to difficulties in obtaining scarce
metals, the actual output probably
will fall below the maximum
allowance.
This would permit American auto
mobile manufacturer to turn out
not more than 204,G40 machines in
January, 1912, as compared with a
production Of 4l8,350 in January.
1941.
Leon Henderson. head OF the o.
P. M. civilian ALLEGATIONS program.
stressed that I'VE are not fixing proc
duction quotas for January. We are
merely establishing a maximum
limit to which manufacturers can
produce-if they are successful in
obtaining sufficient materials"
The January limit with the 26.5
per cent cut ordered for August,
September, October and November.
and the 484 per cent reduction for
December, bring the overall cut for
the six-month period to about 36 63
per cent. Top production for this
initial half year of the model year
beginning in August, l941, on this
schedule, will be no more than
1,228,O65 automobiles, as compared
with 1,928,517 in a similar period in
the previous model year. .

Secretary Wickard was to explain
the need for proposed 81 900 900 900
ALLEGATION for the purchase Of food
supplies to be shipped to Great
Britain, in the light of a recent
statement by Baron Woolton, British
minister of food. that England now
had greater stocks of wheat than at
any time in history and was entering
the third year of the war with
plentiful stocks of all kinds.
Mr.. Roosevelt disclosed to his press
conference yesterday that all but
per cent of the original $7,000,-
900 900 lease-lend appropriation had
been allocated, and he said that he
had authorized Edward r. Stettinius,
lease-lend administrator, to clean up
that remainder.
Lease-Lend Pace Trebled.
Accordingly, he asserted, the ad-
ministration will be ready to tackle
the new appropriation just as soon
as the Senate completes congress

The President volunteered some
