BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Great
slingloads of raw silk sorely needed
for Americas defense were lifted
from two Japanese liners today,
while Nippon tankers sought to take

The liners Tatuta Maru. at San

Seattle, were disgorging rich cargoes
claimed by Eastern importers in
numerous maritime libel actions.
Winches had barely started lifting
the $2.500,000 silk cargo from the
Tatuta Maru yesterday when the
ONCE of Production Management
froze all raw silk supplies to insure
supply for military needs.
All goods involved in the libel at
tachments will remain in the Gus
tody of the Customs Department
until the actions are settled.
The Japanese tanker Nissyo Maru
entered the Los Angeles port of San
Pedro yesterday to take aboard 3d.
900 barrels of gasoline and crude OIL
A license from the State Department
must be obtained before loading so
that sufficient funds to pay for the
cargo can be ''unfrozen."

SLAMS had been captured in trap
south of Smolensk, but the high
command has not repeated this.
One unoffcial German source, re-
viewing the offensive against Russia
since last Saturday, declared $4,000
Soviet prisoners had been taken in
the week and enough booty seized
to equip a sizable army.
The survey indicated that much
territory was captured but exactly
how much and where remained a
military secret, except the claim
that the Firms had expelled the Rus

conquered in the winter war of
1899 39-40-accomplishihg in five weeks
what had taken the Russians three
months.
In a crossing of the Southern
Dniester, it said, the Germans were
able to bring their artillery almost
within range of Odessa.

battle sectors, have been in German
hands for a long time.
The area where fighting has been
in progress for almost three weeks
was described as Uttered with the
bodies of men and horses and thick
with a tumble Of wrecked machines.
There was no news of the north
ern sector where, unofficially, Ger
mans had said Leningrad was in a
precarious position. Some observers
said taking of the city was subordi-
nate to the principal Nazi aim of
wiping out the Russian army.
(The Murmansk Leningrad
railroad has been cut in several
places by Finnish aviators, the
Finnish high command said in
Helsinki last night.
(The flyers also were credited
with bombing Russian transport

but claimed the Russians were
driven back with bloody losses after
q German and Rumanian counter
attack which destroyed at least an
