Russian Counter Offensives Roll Back German Thrusts Leingrad
 Claim Edge In Aerial War In East

UNDATED, Sept. 3 (P Twin Russian counter offensives are re ported to have rolled back Ger man thrusts on Moscow and Lem ingrad. In this, was claimed the resurgence of Red Army power. The Russians said they have re- taken 22 villages in a ten-day, 30-mile counter thrust on the center and main front before Moscow, and destroyed an en- tire division of Blackshirt Hitler infantry, driving the Germans back three miles from Leningrad on the northern end.
 On the main front, Leningrad has been under direct threat, the Germans claimed yesterday and have driven to within 20 miles of the city. The proximity of the threat to Moscow has never been clarified, but the Germans are known once to have passed be- yond Smolensk, to the Vyaznia area, about 125 miles southwest of the capital.
 A strategically important town otherwise unidentified, was said to have fallen in a counter at- tack by Leningrad's newly inspir ed defense, reflecting perhaps, that new difficulties have been encountered by the Grmans.
 A Hitler communique, barren of details of the operations, say ing merely that successful fight ing actions are in progress" and heading possibly for deadlock aground, and makes for the war position, attrition in the World War tradition.
 Russia and Germany stepped up aerial offensives and at Ger many's rear, the western front, the British aerial offensive, thus far her principle active. aid to Russia, gained hitting power. Dis patches from Berlin itself, said an RAF night raid on Berlin was one of the livliest assaults in

Germans Are 20 mi. from Leningrad

BERLIN, Sept. 2 (P - The most advanced German units in the Leningrad drive are stand ing before Krasnogvardisk, 20 miles southwest of the second city of the Soviet union, inform ed German sources said.
 Rumanian troops were declar- ed by DNB, as beseiging the main waterWorks of Odessa, iso- lated Russian city on the Black Sea. Cutting off the Odessa wa ter supply, DNB said, will ser iously endanger the Red soldiers and civilian volunteers defend ing the port, already said to be suffering from a shortage of food.
 A report of the German move ment at Krasnogvardeisk, the junction of the railways from Pskov, Tallinn and Leningrad, followed a DNB report that Ger man infantry has stormed im- portant heights on a northern sec tor of the front.

Two Americans, Belgian Count,
 Die In Crash

LONDON, Sept. 2 (P) - Two Americans and Count Guy de Baillett Latour, son of the chair man of the International Olym- pic Committee, Count Henri de Bail cit Latour, were among ten persons aboard transport plane of the RAF Ferry Command, given up for lost by the Air Min istry.
 The Ferry Command first an nounced that the Olympic official himself was aboard the plane, but the Belgian embassy later con firmed that it was his son, an assistant military attache to the Belgian Embassy in London, and son-in-laW of James Dunn, pol itical advisor to Secretary Hull. Count Guy has been in Washing ton on mission as a member of the staff of the Minister of Col onies for the Emigre Belgian government. His father is still in Belgium.
 The Americans were Captain Sherwood Picking of the U. s. Navy and passenger flight engin eer Charles Spencer, of Little neck, N. Y., a member of the crew. Picking, aged 51 command ed submarine 0-10 during the war. The Navy said he was order ed to London as assistant naval attache.

Japan Told Is Facing Crayest Crisis in History-Reliable Reports
 Picture Japan Near Internal Strife

TOKYO, Sept. 3 (Ao) - Premier Konoye told the government and war industries representatives. that Japan is facing the graVest crisis in her history, as total mo- bilization is necessary to over come the emergency. This was Konoye's first public statement since July 30th and came as the proposed movement of United States war supplies to Russia, through waters adjacent to Jap an, was a subject of discussion in Tokyo, Washington and Mos COW. The Premier spoke before a round table conference of gov ernment executives and leaders of Japanese business concerns, one of a series of meetings in stituted by the National Service Association, to develop Japan's economic power.
 The leaders of Tohokai, the ex- treme Nationalist Political group headed by Seigo Nakano, threw their support to the proposals for the establishment of an ocean safety zone around Japan, the plan which Konoye said yester- day was under consideration.
 The passage of two Soviet planes across Boring Sea to AL asks was cited by the Japan Times and Advertiser as indicat- ing the possibility of future dan gers in the north. The paper said Any effort to establish a system of warplane service between the America and Asiatic continents will be viewed, by authorities charged with the defense of Japan. as a question of state and international importance"

Three Possibilities

According to reliable foreign CTS, including Axis nationals ar irving in Shanghai, the seething situation behind Tokyo's censor ship may develop into one or more of the following:
 1-Japanese action in the Pac- fife Or new move on the Asia lie continent. The former might be 3 thrust against the Nether- land East Indies and the latter a move against Thailand, or Vlad ivistok, Russia's Pacific gateway for receipt of war supplies from the United States.
 g. Overthrow of the present Konoya government, possibly by force.
 3-Rapproachment of the Unit ed States and Britain, as desired by the realistic moderates as a breathing spell, pending hope of eventual American and British acceptance of the Japanese ex- pansionist policy. This last repre- sentS victory fer the present moderating influences of the Kon oya government. The first two would be victory for the ex-
 remists, notably the military clique which according to the Shanghai arrivals is under pres sure and even demands by Ger man advisers that the Japanese challenge the United States, Britain and Russia.
 The realistic moderate Japan csc leaders were pictured as sure that Japan will face a catastro- phic defeat if it makes that chal- lenge.
 U. s. Gasoline Nears Russia
 Between the rival leaders of Japan lay the mass of panicky civilians, which, according to the Shanghai story, are preparing for incendiary bombs with buck cts of water and piles of sand out side their flimsily build homes of reed and mats under which they will have to take refuge.
 A shipment of American war supplies to Russia via Vladivos- tok, the first shipment of aviation gasoline, is now nearing that port and brought Japan to the cross roads of her policy. What she will do beyond the present representations against the Vlad (ivostok shipments is a big ques- ton.

23O,OOO,OOO IS GIVEN GERMANY
Bark of France Turned Over That Amount of
 Belgium Gold

New York, Aug. 26-(UP)-Hubert Ansiaux, an inspector for the Na- tional Bank of Belgium, said today that the Bank of France had given 230,000 900 in Belgian gold to the Germans.
 Ansiaux, who came here last win ter to institute litigation to obtain recovery of the gold through attach ment of French funds in this coun- try, left on the Atlantic clipper for London to report to his govern ment-in-exile.
 The Belgian gold. he said, was deposited with the Bank of France in the period from November, 1889, to May 10, 1940, when the Germans invaded Belgium.
 When the collapse of France ap- peared imminent he said, We asked the Bank of France to return the money to us in London by ship ping the gold to the United States.
 The Bank of France refused. to do so and instead shipped the money to Dakar. Since that time without consulting us, the Bank of France. gave the gold to the Ger man Reichsbank at Marseilles. We are informed that the gold has since been sent to Berlin"
 The litigation started in the New York State Supreme court is now before the United States Supreme Court for Review.

OO PREPARING
 NEW OFFENSIVE
Campaign to Be Started for Closed Shop" in
 Brass Industry

The closed shop in the brass in- dustry in Connecticut is announced as the goal of the International Union of Mine, Mill 6 Shelter Workers in an article in this weeks issue of The CIO News The cam paign, to be carried on in con- junction with membership drives al- ready underway, is to be directed by Don Harris, regional director for the CTO union.
 One of the first steps will be the establishment of an American Brass Go. union council; made up of rep- resentativeS of the union chapters at the company's plants in Water buryy, TOrringtOn and AnsoRlia. Or ganization is the council, to be com posed of 10 or more union dele- gates, is scheduled to be effected to- night at meeting in Ansonia.
 "The objective of the ABC Coun- cil", according to the description of the campaign plan in the labor pulp ication, twill be to prepare the workers in the three plants to se- cure an improved contract with a closed shop clause during the me- gotiations next March"
 The union, which has been des- ignated as bargaining agent for em- ployes of the three American Brass Go. plants, now has contracts with the management covering workers.
 Recognition of the union as sole bargaining agent in the Scovill Mfg. Co, Chase Brass & Copper Co. and other large plants in the state will be sought. The union member ship drive is aimed at securing g large majority of workers as mem bers, to insure victory in referen- dums that will be asked under the National Labor Relations Act. The union would have to win ap- proval as bargaining agent before being able to negotiate for 8 closed shop in plants now morgan ized or only partly unorganized.
