Shift Of Timoshenko
BoIsters Russians
Don Basin Defense
Organization of Groups
Of Tank Destroyers'
One of New Moves
BY A. +. STEELE,

rOTtlBn Correspondent Ol Inc Quar-
KUIBYSHEV. Oct. 30-Marshal
Semeon Timoshenko's newly as
Sumed leadership of the southern
Soviet front is beginning to make
itself felt in stiffened resistance to
Nazi inroads in the Don Basin-the
vestibule to the Caucasus.
Since they took Taganrog, 40
miles west of Rostov, the Germans
march toward the metropolis of the
lower Don. according to Russian
claims However, for several days
the Germans have been utilizing
masses OF tanks in their endeavor
to break through to Rostov's outer
defenseS.
The Russians admit that in the
battle of the Don Basin they are up
against numerically superior Nazi
armored forces. Realizing that the
great length of the German lines
of communication, confined to bad
roads, makes the problem of re-
punishment of Nazi equipment a
serious one. Marshal Timoshenko
has set his forces to reduce the nu-
merical superiority of the German
tank units by every means avail
able.
Volunteers Organized.
In addition TO utilizing such air
planes. anti-tank guns. artillery and
tanks as he can spare, he is organiz-
ing groups of volunteer tank de-
stroyers," who are specially trained
to deal with the Nazi tanks and
remove them from action.
While the battle for Rostov con-
tlnues, IN full fury, the Russians are
most actively preparing a line of
depenses along the Don River. which
is the most formidable remaining
obstacle on the road to the northern
Caucasus.
The Importance OF RoStov to the
Soviet cause needs no emphasis. As
1t is the junction point on the main
railway line from Turkey and the
Caucasus, the terminus of the pipe
line from Baku and the port and
populouS industrial center of the
lower Don Basin, it is not surprising
that the Russians are willing to
make heavy sacrifices for its de-
Tense
The Soviet Army is powered with
oil from the Caucasus. If Rostov
were lost and the railway cut, the
problem of supplying the various
fronts with fuel would be compli-
Gated. There are other routes, but
none with equal capacity. The
Anglo American supply line from
Iran also would be jeopardized for
1t would mean utiliza ton of cir
cuitous secondary routes.

Crash of Northwest Airlines
plane at Moorhead. Mimi, today
with IA deaths, was the first fatal
commercial airline crash since a
congressional inquiry last March

This disaster, the fifth in six
months, after 17-month no-accl-
dent record had Deen broken the
preceding August, led to a sweeping
investigation by Congress into the
operation of the Nations passenger
air carriers.
All five accidents occurred as the
planes were nearing airportS.
The Eastern airliner plummeted
to destruction only few miles from
Atlanta. Representative William D.
Byron, Democrat. of Maryland:

Faria ton of Plan.

Under present social. security laws
both employees and employers pay l
per cent tax on their pay rolls for
old-age pensions. In addition. en-
ployers pay per cent for unemploy-
ment insurance. Under one plan
authoritatively reported under
Treasury and White House consid-
Grafton, the employers tax for old
age pensions would be increased to
per cent. so that his total tax, in
Guiding both pension and unemploy-
ment taxes, would be per cent, or
the same amount which would be
taxed against the employe for pen
Eons alone.
In discussing the budgetary prob
lem of the Treasury, Mr. Morgen-
thau also advised reporters not to

mining areas have grown up in

At first they were financed largely
by British. French and Belgian cap

development was given tremendous

Dr.. Raphael H. Miller Resigns
As National City Pastor
Will Become Editor
Of the Christian
EVANGELIST

The Rev. DR.. Raphael Harwood
Miller has resigned as minister of
National City Christian Church,
Thomas Circle. to become editor-in-
chief of The Christian Evangelist, a
publication of the Christian Board
of Publication, st. Louis.
DR.. Miller announced his resigna-
ton at the close Of his morning SER
mon yesterday. 1t came as a sur
prise. He had been minister there
for nearly eight years.
DR.. Miller, who has been a prom
inent figure in Washington church
circles, said he plans to occupy the
pulpit here until the new minister
arrives, which he thinks may be
about month.
At the close of the service. DR..
Miller was the center of a large
group which expressed their regret
at his departure but congratulated
him on his new post.
Advised to Reduce Activities.
For months, DR.. Miller explained,
he had been advised by his physician
to reduce the amount of his work
at least so per cent.
But" he told the congregation
"this cannot be done in justice to
the requirements at National City
Church. You need leadership in
its full vigor to meet the chal-
lenging opportunity. You deserve
the most and best any leader can
give"
DR.. Miller said he had decided
to accept the post as editor, where
hours of work and demands on
physical and nervous energy will
be much less than in a large pas
torate.
"At the Christian Board of Publ
cation" he added, Il shall continue
my deep interest in the welfare of
this beloved church. and shall be
able to give practical help in solu-
ton of its building problems.
Coming here In December, 1888, to
the church built by public subscrip-
ton by the Brotherhood of Disciples
of Christ, to represent the Christian
vi bliC SOu1lOly dO lllc IVA
tion's Capital, Dr. Miller co-operated
with his congregation in reduction
of the church debt, increase of the
membership by 1,500 persons and
doubling of the current expense bud
get. The church, which cost 81 ,026.-
1854, had debt of s5eo,000 when DR..
Miller arrived, and this has been cut
by 1888 900.
Born in Syracuse, N. Y, educated
at Hiram College, Auburn Theologi-
cal Seminary, and holding the de-
gree of doctor of divinity from
Drake University Mr. Miller served
churches at Buffalo, N. Y, and Kan
sas City before coming to Washing
ton.
DR.. Miller has been prominent in
interdenominational church activi-
ties in Washington. He was chair.
man of the Committee on Arrange
ments for the National Christian
Mission, held earlier this year. He
