! command Of the southern wing of
| the Russian western front for the
new task, his old post going to
Marshal Semeon Tlmoshenko. Tim
oShenko was shifted from the CEN
trail front where the command of
the western forces was given SUM-
day to Gen. Gregory K. Zhukov.
VoroShilov had been commander
| in the north where the main force
now resisting is in besieged Lenln-
grad. No successor to him in that
work was announced
Part of Government Moved.
These developments came as 1t
was announced formally that part
of the Soviet government had been
established at Kuibyshev.
The high command changes and
establishment of part of the Soviet
government here were announced by
Lozovsky, vice commissar of foreign
affairs, in his first press conference
in Kuibyshev.
Close contact is being maintained
between government branches re-
naming in Moscow and those in
Kuibyshev, he said, by daily tele-
phone conversations.
Serving notice that Russia would
never quit, Lozovsky said Marshal
Budyenny and Marshal Voroshilov
already had begun organizing new
armies from the vast reservoir of
Soviet manpoWer.
Hitler promised to end the war
before winter, then throw enormous
forces against England. He has
failed in both" Lozovsky said.
Realize Gravity of Situation.
1--WE fully realize the gravity of
the situation. q" But the Soviet
government and people will fight to
the end"
Stain and the Soviet Defense
Council, he said, are remaining at
their posts in Moscow, directing the
fight for Russias life.
The British radio quoted Pravda
reports as saying:
| To-day Moscow is in danger. We
shall never surrender We must be
prepared to see the streets Of Mos
COW become the scene of violent
| fighting. ="
Lozovsky asserted the Germans
still were more than go miles from
the U. S. S. R. capital, countering
official German claims yesterday
that NaZi spearheads had advanced
to within IS miles of the city.
German bombers renewed their
attacks on Moscow last night. caus-
ing damage and casualties, the Rus
slams said. The Germans reported
high explosives and incendiary
bombs were dropped on the city.
Report Counterattack Checked.
The German high command COM
munique said offensive and pursuit
operations were continuing in Rus
STA and, declared the Spanish Blue
Division" fighting with the Axis
armies, had repealed Soviet coun-
terattack in the north, inf1icting
heavy casualties and taking several
hundred prisoners. German planes
were credited with sinking 5000
ton Russian merchantmen in waters
around the Crimea. The daily COM
munique contained no further refer
ence to the Russian front
Russian dispatches said, fierce
hand-to-hand fighting was raging
in the streets of three cities around
the beleaguered capital-Kaluga, 80
miles southwest; Mozhaisk, 81 miles
west, and Kalinin, 95 miles north
west.
A Red Army bulletin reported
especially stubborn fighting in

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-The

wilhelms imperial armies in the
four years of the World War.
According to United States State
Department figures, the Germans
lost 1,773.7OO killed and 4,216,058
wounded in the World War-a total
of 5,e89,758.
D.N.B.. the Official German news
agency. quickly followed this claim
with the reported destruction of
more than $50 Soviet divisions-ap-
proximately 100000 to 4680,00O
rnen-in the bloody campaign up to
September l.
Pravda reported that new Ger
man thrust south of Leningrad had
been turned back with at least $500
killed, wounded and captured by
Red Army forces which regained two
villages in counterattacks.
The Pravda dispatch, quoted by
Tass in a broadcast, identified the
recaptured towns as Velye, in the
Lake linen vicinity, and Kholmy.
At Kholmy, Pravda said, German
elite guards lost 500 men and set
fire to cottages before falling back
from the town.
Three Days of Fighting.
Two thousand were said to have
been killed, wounded or captured in
three days of fighting near Lake
linen in which the Germans failed
to advance, and lost Velye.
Other German attempts to cross
I1ialo f0TI-c from
Lake linen past Novgorod to Lake
Ladoga were repulsed, Pravda said.
Russian front-line dispatches said
the Germans also had been repulsed
in assaults west and south of
Moscow.
A late D.N.B. bulletin said that
the Germans approaching Moscow
were running into street barbados.
The agency added that the Russians
were blasting buildings to clear the
way for their gunners and as far as
possible to destroy cover for advanc-
ing Germans.
Unverified reports spread through
Berlin that advance German units
already had reached Moscow'S
suburbs, but an authorized military
spokesman said I'VE cannot confirm
that"
They have not taken and will not
take Moscow" said S. A. Lozovsky,
official Soviet spokesman.
Nevertheless. Premier Joseph
Stain delegated two of his key mar
shals-Semeon Budyenny and Kle-
menti Voroshilov-to form new Red
Armies, and Soviet dispatches &C

radio, said combat continued along
the whole front during the night.

the House was strongly against low
ering the age limit, partly because dis
ruption of the education period was
considered as serious deprivation to
the country's future. But, when the
Senate insisted on its bill. it was
necessary in order to get action to
compromise.
Registration of the male population
between the ages of 18 and % was
agreed to in spite of the fact that
Army testimony was to the effect that
men over As were of little or no use
in military capacity.
1t is hoped that this registration will
make possible less dislocation in the
highly skilled fields and provisions for
bringing into the foreground Older
men for use in the production lines.

America Gird., 1000, 900 Strong,
For Battle IN World War III
BY conarsssman Frances P. Bolson

A MOTHER problem which will
"a demand patience and reasoning
is the shortage of certain commodi-
ties. We have already seen action
taken with regard to rubber. and we
can expect similar instructions to
keep such raw material as wool, cot
ton, leather, paper, hemp, oils and
all of the key metals.
Controvert;ng his action of some
weeks ago, Secretary Ickes now
tells US that there is no danger Of
gasoline shortage. He goes so far as
to say that we are in a position to
begin production of gasoline from
coal on large scale whenever nat
ural resources show signs of deple-
ton.
CONGRESS hopes to take a few
~ days recess over Christmas and
perhaps the entire holiday week.
Meanwhile efforts are being made
to re-enact number of laws similar
to those enforced during the last
war with regard to citizenship,
espionage, and sabotage. These are
very necessary.
1t is encouraging to have As
slant Attorney General Wendell
Berge tell us that the Justice De-
partment is prepared to guard in
dividual rights under that part of
the Constitution known as the Bin
of Rights. There is always the
darger during war time of hysterical
action.
We need to investigate and pro-
tect ourselves against all un-Ameri-
can forces but we must not destroy
America in doing it.
