COEBBELS HAS
 WARNED PUBLIC
German People Are Fac ing Hard Months Ahead
 Despite Their Victories

Berlin, Oct. 2S-(UP)-Paul Joe seph Goebbels, in an unusually frank statement of the difficulties under which Germans are living warned the public today that 1t faced hard months ahead despite the German victories on the east ern front.
 Goebbels wrote an article, which was displayed prominently in all newspapers, on the 18th anniver- sary of his appointment as Nazi party leader for the Berlin area.
 After writing that because of war conditions an ostentatious cele- bration of the anniversary would be inappropriate, Goebbels contin- ued:
 "But when was good and en- couraging work more appropriate than right now? I know you have 1t hard today. You all must work as never before.
 "You women sometimes stand for hours before stores in order to buy some vegetables. Your children are freuuently sent to the country and separated from you for months.
 "Scmetimes cigarettes are lack ing.
 aThen, because the necessary per- sonnel is not available, you must shovel coal, then go to air raid cellars at night and then, after .wc hours slepe. again go to hard work That Is the case in many cities in the Reich, and in some places lt is still worse.

 The Nazis objected above all to the Presidents charge that Ger many planned to carve South Amer lea into slave states and destroy present religions. :.
 In their first statement they had taken light tone. This statement said the speech would cause the greatest amusement in Germany and that the charge regarding South America was "the high point in the Roosevelt fantasy and the ennanation of a crazy and absurd imagination"
 The second statement called the Presidents speech "a conglomera- ton of suspicious, insults, islanders kfOrg cries and m tipzAs sAcn as could not be worse.

 The third statement said:
 roosevelt said we should deny his allegations. We won't deny them. One does not take the trouble to deny @ fool"
 In this statement, an informant said an unidentified Thigh German personality who has 8 great per- sonal interest in these matters" compared the President with King Ludwig II of Bavaria, patron of Richard Wagner, who died in 1886.
 "FIe would have days of complete mental clarity and others of com plete lunacy," the statement said. If Roosevelt mental state is not lunacy then it must be that of a political criminal"
 Historians generally hold that Ludwig, who was drowned in Lake Starnberg, was insane as he had been adjudged)

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, Oct. 28 = (U.P0 = President Roosevelt's declaration that dangerous minority of la bor leaders, menace the nation was followed today by word in congress sional circles that he is considering drastic legislation to control strikes in defense industries.
 Congressional leaders said such action probably would depend on the speed with which substantially the captive mine shut down ordered by John L. Lewis-can be adjusted and production be resumed. | MT. Roosevelt indicated to his senate and house leaders, 1t was learned, that he now feels the gov- ernment's voluntary mediation sys- tenn needs a set of sharp, statutory teeth to insure the respect of Lewis, who is president of the United Mine Workers of America (C1O).
 That was before he received Lewis blunt notice that the shut down ot captive nines-those owned by Steel companies-would end only when the unions demands are met, and before he appealed flor the third time" to Lewis to reopen the mines pending a settlement.
 Lewis declined to comment on MT Roosevelt's third appeal.
 MT. Roosevelt was said to have told congressional leaders yesterday that he felt he had been more than patient with labor generally throughout the emergency and that now the time had come for decisive action.
 Who Will Prevail?
 "It's now a question of who is to prevail" one leader observed, "the President of the United States or John L. Lewis

Marshal Petain Must Fight For His Future
Economic Crisis Resulting From French Collaboration With Germany Is Beginning To Have Its
 Effects On French People
BY HARRISON SALISBURY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Marshal Henri Philippe Petain's future as chief of the French State is at stake in a deepinng economic cricis resulting from French "col- Liberation" with Germany.
 This picture was provided by authentic adviceS reaching the United Press today from sources on the European continent.
 According to this information, French industry, commerce and agriculture has been geared so com pletely to the Reich war machine that little more collaboration" can be expected-except some arrange ment to allow Frence, as well as Germany to benefit from the new setup. So far, France has received virtually no benefits.
 With minor exceptions, the infor- nation reported, those French in- dustries which are working are working for German account. Mean time, German agents continue to SCOUT both occupied and unoccupied France for food supplies and raw materials, shipping such vast quan- titles that France faces a winter of unparalleled suffering.
 Economic repercussions of these developments, the adviceS said, may prove extereme in the next few months, particularly if the Germans continue to manipulate the flow Of raw materials to French industry. artificially provoking industrial crises to back up their demands to the Vichy government.
 Situation Explosive
 Petain, himself, 1t was said, re- gards the situation as explosive. A combination of food riots and un- employment this winter, it was said, might well bring down the whole Vichy regime. including Petain.
 The situation has been SO delt- cate, 1t was added, that Petain has hesitated to try the temper of French labor by introducing his me- dieval guild system under a new la- bor statute part of the 'revolu- tion' by which petain hopes to re- turn to France something of con- ditlons which existed under the

Both Russian, German Re- ports However, Indicate
 No Let Up By Either

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 London, October 28.-(UP British military experts said today that the crisis was nearing in the German of- fensive on the Eastern front and that the German attack CTS or the Russian defenders must give way soon. Advices received here estimated that the Germans were using 2,OOO, 900 men and up to 15,000 tanks on the southern front alone in a desperate attempt to crush the arrr1- les of Marshal Sen1yon Timoshenko
 Authoritative informants esti- mated that the Germans were within 10 to IS miles of Rostov at the mouth of the Don River but that the Russians appeared to continue ko hold the Germans in the Perekop Tsthmus leading to the Crimea. 1n- Eormants estimated that the Ger mann were still 30 to % miles from Moscow, with heavy fighting contiri- uing. They said they believed re- ports that the Russians were with drawing their forces from Iran to strengthen their southern front were untrue.
 Moscow reported today that Field Marshal Karl Rudolf Gerd Won Runstedt, commanding the Ger man forces in the south, had thrown fresh divisions into the Kharkov area and admitted that the Russians had been forced back slightly.
 "The Russians are now fighting in districts of Kharkov and the town Is in grave danger" Moscow said, "but the Fascists are everywhere faced with fierce resistance"
