SOviets Say Red Army Is Growing Stronger; Long War Faces Both Nations BOTH QUOTE LOSSES
 THAT ARE STAGGERING Russia Doing Most of Boosting Today; But Is
 Quoting Figures
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, August 23.-UP) = Russia, with it's armies fighting stubbornly against savage German drives on Leningrad and effecting an orderly retreat in theU Ukralle, asserted today that Ger many's blitzkrieg plans had failed and that the Red Amy, growing stronger daily, would win a war that now was certain to be long.
 In perhaps Its most important summary since hostilities began, Russia said in a review of the first two months of the Russo German war that 1t had lost 100000 men and Germany more tlaan1 {, ,OO0, 900; that it had lost $500 tanks against Ger many,s 5000; 7,5O0 field guns against Germany'c 10000; 4,500 planes against Germany's 7,20O. It claSsi- fled Russian losses as 150OOO killed. 444O,000 wounded and 10000 miss ing; and Germany,s as a rought more than 2.o0o, 900" killed and wounded.
 The days first communique deal. but briefly with the situation as the front, noting stubborn battles an along the line from Lake Ladoga to the Black Sea. It said that in the Baltic Russian warships, attacking a convoy of five German transports. sank two, forced the other to beach and sank two escorting naval cutters.
 German BluSter Fails
 Then the communique started on the review. It said the Clustering" plans of Germany's high command for lightning annihilation of the Red army had collapsed; that though only month ago the German high command announced that the roads to Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev lay open, they were still closed, barred by Russian troops who since then had smashed dozens of Ger man divisions.
 The review specified these diyis- ions by their German army numbers. It listed 8 sdestroyed 6l divisions inn. all - 12 tank divisions, 37 in fantry divisions, nine motorized dt- visions and three "iSS" shock diyis- ions, and said that in addition IT regiments from other divisions had been wiped out.
 The commmidue pointed out that though in the first few days of the war, Germany said the Red air force had been destroyed it was bringing down daily many dozen German planes, killing thousands of German soldiers and systematic- ally bombing Berlin and a number of other German cities"
 Many Naxi Wounded
 Though the Berlin radio 6 month ago announced that Russia had put its last reserves into action, the utter ridiculouSness of this boast full prattle" was made plain by the fact that hospitals and other tn- stitutions in Czechoslovakia, Poland, Rumania and Bulgaria. as well ~ Germany, were crowded with wounded, it was said.
 Its plans spoiled, the German command now talks of not wanting a mere seizure of otwns but the de- struction of the man power and equipment of the Red army she communique noted.
 However, two mouthg Of var have given evidence that tane yse@ army is not only not annihileted but that its strength and the power

L. S. Sanctions
Service Abroad


Washington, June rs = APP -
The United States probably will
give formal. full-fledged approval
within a few days to the enlist
ment OF American men in the Bri.
fish or Chinese war effort, either
for actual combat duty or for non.
combatant technical work behind
the lines.
The enlistments would be sane
toned officially as service in the
interest Of national safety.
Informed persons predicted this
development would come with is
suance by selective service head
quarters here OF a memorandum to
state directors formally directing
that deferment be given to regis
trants who wish TO volunteer for
duty abroad.
A final decision td~ issue the
memorandum has not been made,
officials said, but at selectivs SER
vice headquarters 1t was looked
upon as a virtually inevitable step
after President Roosevelt told his
press conference Tuesday that any
man who wants to enlist in Bril-
tain's or China's fighting forces
has a perfect right to do so.
The President explained the
British no longer require Ameri-
cans to take an oath OF allegiance
to the King, a procedure by which
they would lose their American
citizenship and become British
subjects.

GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE ACTION ON
PRICE INCREASES
Chrysler Corporation Fails
to ReScind Raise in
Price of Cars
SHOWDOWN NEARS ON
HENDERSON POWERS
Furniture Manufacturers
Also Fail to Bow to
u. s. Dictum

Washington, June IS 49, AP -
Prompt and sweeping government
action to fix mandatory price
levels appeared imminent today,
FASTENED by two refusals OF in
dustry TO curb price increases.
Pointing up a prospective show
down on the enforcement powers
OF Price Administrators Leon Hen
derson, a major automobile COM
pany and a segment OF the furni-
ture manufacturing industry SER
we'd notice they would not comply
with Henderson's requests"
Refuses to Rescind
The price administrator an
nounced Wednesday that Chrysler
Corporation had refused to rescind
recent price increases on its new
models. Last night. several New
York furniture manufacturer an
nounced price boosts OF about five
per cent despite the administra-
tors request that such increases
first be submitted to his office.
Henderson said some comment
on the developments could be ex-
pected from him during the day.
The furniture increase topped
previous to 10 per cent price in
creases applicable to the opening
OF new lines in New York last
Monday. On the same day. Hend-
erson wrote AZ furniture manufac-
turers that III such price increases
continue in this and other indus
tries, the result will be initiation
and decentralization, not only in
your industry but over the econo-
mic system generally"
Henderson recently proposed to
the automobile industry generally
that increases tagged on new mo-
dels be withdrawn.
Hand Forced
Chrysler's failure to comply, he
said, as forcing US to take the
pricing OF automobiles out OF the
hands OF the industry" At the
proper time" he continued, he
would report the full facts to Pres
ident Roosevelt and to Congress.
Meanwhile, Henderson SAID,
plans would be pressed "immed-
lately to establish complete
overall price ceiling for new auto
mobile models" extending not
only to manufacturers prices and
dealers mark-up, but also to
trade-in values.
He praised the Packard Com
pany for delaying Its proposed in
creases and said the request to
the Ford Motor Company still was
pending. Because Of Chryslers re-
fusal, he added, he was releasing
the smaller independents from his
blanket request.
