Russian Air Power
May Be Big Worry
To Nazis in Winter
Lack Of Superiority in
Skies Burs Reich's Use
Of Lightning War Tocties
BY DEVON FRANCIS,


NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-After more
than two months of warfare it is
becoming evident, military sources
said today, that Russia's huge air
force not only retains its striking
power but also is likely to remain
q major worry to the invading Ger
mans, throughout the. winter.
A seeming contradiction exists be-
tween the maintenance of Russian
air power and the progressive re-
treat of the Red armies.
Actually, the inability of the Ger
mans to establish air superiority
well-informed authorities point out,
has been largely responsible for the
failure of the Germans to carry their
lightning war tactics which were so
successful in Poland, Norway, the
Low Countries, France and the
Balkans.
Heavy Drain on Luftwaffe.
1t is safe to assume that Russian
air power, moreover. has been a
considerable drain on the German
Luftwaffe. In preparations for the
campaign the Germans withdrew a
large part of their air forces in the
west to the eastern frontier.
But in spite of that concentration
the Russians continue to strike reg
ularly from the air both at the Of
Tending German columns and be-
hind the German lines as well.
The Russian raid on the East
Prussian city of Koenigsberg yes
terday Is a case in point At the
same time Russian planes claimed
to have sunk two German trans
ports in the Baltic.
Significance is attached to the
failure of the Germans to continue
their air attacks on Moscow. Lenin-
grad, threatened for weeks, has put
up successful resistance with the
help of the Red Air Force.
Contributing to the Russian air
strength is the fact that the high
command has had no worry over
the replacement of personnel lost
in combat. No evidence has ap-
peared that such replacements will
be a problem in the months to come.
Big Civilian Reservoir.
The flyer reservoir of the Red Air
Force comes from the Osoyiakhim
Society, a civilian defense group
numbering between 100000 and
100000 persons.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 29.-Generalis-

The Japanese asserted that the

Iran Fighting Ceased
After Teheron Bombinq

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. % (de-
layedD (P.-Thirty minutes after a
formation of four Soviet warplanes
dropped six bombs on a Teheran
suburb today orders by the new
government of Premier Ali Furanghi
went into effect for Iranian troops to
cease resisting the invading British
and Russian forces.
Some of the bombs, the first to be
dropped in the Teheran area, fell
within a half-mile of the homes of
James S. Moose, jr., United States
Legation secretary, and American
Vice Consul David D. Fritzlan.
Frightened refugees, meanwhile,

Rail Station Blasted.
The raiders were said to have
blasted the railway station to bits
and damaged aZure-domed mosques
and high-walled monastaries in the
ancient town. Not single anti
aircraft gun answered the attack,
the refugees said.
AZin, the holy city of Meshet and
Karaj, 20 miles west of Teheran, also
were reported heavily attacked
All day yesterday throngS OF
countryfolk who had forsaken their
homes moved slowly into Teheran
with their meager possessions loaded
on creaking carts.
Rumors that an armistice had
been declared raised false hopes.
They were dashed when the Rus
sian planes appeared in a cloudless
sky at 7:30 am. today after two
blackout alarms during the night.
Less than three hours later, news
boys were shouting the news that
hostilities had ended at 8 am.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Britain and
Russia moved swiftly today to COM
plete their occupation of Iran and
capitalize on the gains Of a joint
invasion which ended in complete
victory yesterday when the little
Iranian Army laid down its arms
after a four-day show Of resistance
Official quarters declined to say
whether the Allies had presented
peace terms to Reza Shah Pahlevi' s
government. but informed sources
expressed belief London and Moscow
would stand on these points:
l. That the Iranian government
hand over all Germans still in the
estimated to include some
5000 technicianS
2. That Iran guarantee facilities
for transport of war supplies from
the Persian Gulf to Russia.
3. That steady flow of oil be
maintained to feed the British Navy,
Army and Air Force in the Middle
East.
May Keep Strategic Points.
1T was regarded as foregone con-
clusion that the British and Rus
slams would insist on retaining mill
tary control of all strategic points
In Iran until the end of the war. The
Allies have asserted. however, that
they have no designs on Trans in
dependence or territorial integrity.
and it was assumed the Teheran
government would be permitted to
retain control of the domestic ad-
mlniStratlon.
Martin Agronsky, N B. c.
representative in Turkey, said last
night in a broadcast from An
kara that British, Russian and
1ranian representatives. were con-
cluding a peace agreement which
would include the aforementioned
points and also provide a sizable
loan to Iran and compensation
for loss of life and damage to
property. Allied troops would oc-
zcupy all important points save
Teheran, but would be withdrawn
at the end of the war. he saidD
AS soon as the occupation is COM
pleted the Allies are expected to
hasten improvement of Iranian
transportation facilities to imple-
ment the shipment of supplies from
Britain and the United States to
Russia.

KILLING OF FOXES
CAUSES TROUBLE

Eleven red, foxes being poisoned
on the premises of E. B. Phillips
near Millville, has caused some
what of a stir in hunters circles
Ninety-nine er cent Of the residents
of Sussex are opposed to any Sc
strictions on killing foxes, because
they kill chickens and destroy
game birds and young rabbits. An
effort has been made, it is claimed,
for many years to lift the ban and
ermit the slaughter of the pests.
Enough pressure has been brought
/ to bear from some invisible source,
to retain statutes protecting them.
There is a provision, however, that
farmer who finds them raiding
his poultry fiocks has the right to
shoot them.
The affair came to a climax in
the office of Magistrate w. Elwood
Wright, but decision in the case
has been reserved for a few days.
Delbert Daisey of the Dagsboro
section, game warden, was charged
with having visited the home of
Mr.. Tyre and poisoning the ami
mails. Testifying before Magis-
trate Wright, Tyre said he had IL
red foxes under his care and that
on the. night Of May "a he fed
them and that the next morning
he visited the den to feed them and
found that all were dead and that
scras of fish had been laced in the
pen. A box CARTON. he said, had
been used from a Salisbury meat
firm in which the fish had been
laced, and that he found it near
the pen as well as footprints lead
ing to a nearby dirt road. zJo
proof was introduced as to the
footprints or the car tracks that in
any way would implicate Game
Warden Daisey. ,sl
State Police, connected with Sta
tion No. 4, near Georgetown, stated
that Daisey was questioned and ad-'
mitted that he poisoned the foxes;
that Tyre, Arthur Simpler and
Donald Simpler were holding them
illegally and he did it to protect |
them as they were his, friends.
Donald Simpler ytestified that
Daisey replaced the foxes within
three or four weeks hut. it did not |,
develop where he obtained them.
Arthur Simpler testified that he
had a permit from the. Game and
Fish Commission t9 have them in
possession. ~. 4aIlirdt
All Of the witnesses, admitted
that they were friends Of paisey
and had hunted with alhim for the
past twenty years. al, h,
Daisey denied he had poisoned
the foxes, but did nottimplicate any
one. He said he told the officers,
whether they understood his state
ment or not, that the tblame could
be placed on him. This he quail
fed by saying that they were his
friends and he knew he could re-

RADIANT LIVING
Greater Than
Circumstances
By REV. G. M. GRIFFRTH
Pastor Methodist Church, Cecilton, Md.

You. are perhaps familiar with
the circumstances that caused JOS
eph to be cast into the pit. You
remember how, aroused to jealousy
by his coat Of many colors, his
brothers had thrown him into the
pit to die.
Joseph however, is not the only
man who suddenly has found him
self in a hole. Many a man has
experienced the piling up against
him an accumulation of circum-
stances over which he has had no
control.
In such. a situation as that is
1t possible for a man to find a
power that will deliver him out of
his troubles?
Perhaps we can best get an
answer to this question by analyz-
ing this word circumstance" In
doing this we discover the root
meaning of the word is to stand
around one" Circumstances are
those things that "stand around
you, just like Joseph's jealous bro
theirs stood around him waiting
their opportunity to cast him into
the pit.
But like Joseph, we do not see
all the things, that stand around
us when we are in trouble. We are
so disheartened, by the visible ma
terial circumstances" that "stand
around" threatening us that we
fail tosrecognize the invisible spir-
itual circumstances" that also
stand around" us waiting to as
sist us.
What Joseph could not recog-
nize. was the fact that among his
jealous brothers that stood around
him there was also standing there
to rescue him the invisible God.
God did not intend Joseph to- die in
pit, but to sit upon the throne of
Egypt.
There are no combinations of
circumstances that can win against
God. God is greater than all cir
cumstances.
If you are willing to go Gods
way, He will lift you out of your
pit of difficulty and set you on
the high road to something worth
while.
