German Advances Are Ad- mitted; Huge Casualties
 Are Claimed PLEA FOR CALMNESS MADE AT MOSCOW Press Unanimous in Pro claiming Situation "Ex-
 traOrdinariIy" Grave
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

' Moscow, October 10. - (UP) = Russian reserve forces were reported hasten ing to the central front to- day to aid the Red army in a furious battle to prevent the jaws of a giant German nili- tary trap from closing on the defenders of Moscow. "New reserves are entering the bat tle," the Red Star said in calling upon every Soviet citizen to aid tp meeting the admittedly grave enier- gercy.
 "Our best strength is enroute to aid the men on the fighting front" !"
 The press emphasized front Inc dispatches reportiilk that the Rus sian armies had frustrated the Ger man encirclement operations or had fought their way out of enemy traps, although German advances were acknowledged.
 Paper Confident
 "Our troops, Steeled by the fire of battle, known how 10 crush the Fascist wedges and Pincers." the Red Star said, in elaborating a Pravda dispatch asserting that Mar shal Semyon SimoShenko intended not only to stop the enemy but to break his power by mass destruc- tion."
 we have everything for this pur- pose. Collapse of this new (Ger. Inan) offensive would play the most vital role in the course of the war. It would be an immense blow to their fighting power and would un- dernine their morale"
 Huge Casualties
 War front dispatches continued to tell of huge casualties inflicted on the Germans. Red Star said that Russian forces had been able to take up new positions and "re- pei enemy thrustS" in the areas where the enemy had made gains.
 On the Leningrad front, Pravda reported, the Russian attacks have been intensified.
 The newspaper in a dispatch from Leningrad said that Russian troops had smashed their way across to the left bank of the river "" near Leningrad and pushed the Germans back in an advance toward . strat- egic central point.
 Desperate Resistance
 ~Every kilometer has to be taken by heavy fighting as the Germans resist desperately" 1t added.
 "The Germans have not only abandoned offensive tactics but in some places 1t is becoming more and more difficult for them to hold their positions 1t added.
 The newspaper editorialiy called upon all Communists and all citi- zens to strengthen the home fEunt behind the Red army to defeat Ger man "rumorg, sabotage and spies" and to wipe out all parachutists.

Russian sources said they would welcome a British expeditionary force against any Gernan-held point from Narviks on the Arctic Norwegian coast to Brest on the Brittany Peninsula of occupied France.
 They said the total German d. visions available to meet British attack along the continental coast from northern Norway to Spain did not exceed 30--perhaps 450.000 men of secondary quality. with no armored divisions, and that an op- portunity such as that offered now might never recur.
 They said that the German air strength outside the Rusgtn1s front was nowhere formidable.
 Statement sought
 It was reported that Einaalue. Shinwell, Labor member of the House of Commons, had given no. tice of 6 question for the next meeting of parliament, demanding that the government make a state nent at once on the Russian mill tary situation.
 It was reported that Shinwell might move interruption of current business on the ground that the situation was of urgent public tn- portance and must be fully debated.
 Thus Shinwell, who has proved the most effective critic of the gov- ernment in parliament throughout the war, took the lead in demand for information on the Russian sit- uation, and for immediate effective aid to Russia, which had become so widespread that, according to political informants, 1t threatened to force Prime Minister Winston Churchill to shake up his cabinet and remove all weaker members.
 Newspapers Active
 The newspapers today took up the cry. from the ultra-conservative Times to the most sensational papers, that the government do something once to relieve pres- sure on Russia.
 The Times called for "boldness within the bounds of reason" the independent conservative Daily Ex- press. organ of Lord Beaverbrook, supply minister who arrived back In London today with the British air mission to Russia which he headed, called for enterprise and work" The Daily Sketch said: Let

 Last night, walter conducted the Montreal SymphOny-and Schneider was in the string sec- ton.
 They were playing the First Movement of Brahms Symphony No. l, one of Schnelder's favorite works.

 Schneider was dead, of a heart attack. His wife said he had been excited all week over the prospect of playing under Wal ter-and yesterday, hisg excite ment reached such a pitch that she tried Co persuade him not to play. "He wouldn't hear of it," she said.

CATHOLIC BISHOP
 ISSUES WARNING
A. F. of L. Hears PreIate Condemn U. s. Friend-
 ship With Russia

Seattle, Oct. 10.-(UP)-The Most Rev. Gerald Shaughnessy, Catholic bishop of Seattle, today warned the 6lst annual convention of the Amer ican Federation of Labor against friendship with Russia and against Laughing of" suggestions that the 1942 congressional elections will be cancelled.
 "You cannot extend to Commu- nism any more than to Nazism the right hand of fellowship without running the very definite ri of adopting at least in part the philos- ophy of communism" Shaugnessy, critic of both President Roosevelt and Wendell L. Wilikie, Republican presidential candidate, told the con- vention.
 The bishop said he recognized as valid the contention of Charles A. Lindbergh that the 1942 congress sional elections might be cancelled.
 q think it is well for every citi- zen to be upon his guard and not to laugh of as silly such a sugges- tion," he said. By such laughter Hitler rose to the power he wie'ds today. By such pleasantries came Stalin into command of life and death for his millions of helpless subjects"
 The bishop, who recently de- nounced Mir Roosevelts shoot first' order to the navy. took issue with the presidents statement that Rus sian constitutional guarantees Oi religious freedom were similar tl those of the United States.

PANAMA WON'T
 CHANGE POLICY
Recent Cabinet Meeting Planned to Halt Arming
 of Vessels
BY c. B. EMEaLKE

l (UisiEed Rrers Stan Correspondent Panama City, oct. 70 - lU.P) - The new government will soon re- yoke the announced policy of its predecessor to cancel the Panaman- ian registry of all foreign-owned vessels which adopt armament, po- litical observers believed today.
 This action is not expected im- inediately, but observers believed 1t will be undertaken soon. The can- cellation policy was adopted at the last cabinet meeting held before the then PresidentArnulfo Arias depart ed from Panama. It was taken as a step to preserve Panamanian neu- trality, the cabinet asserted.
 Thre days after the cabinet meet ing Monday, the Arias administra- ton was deposed.
 Panamas new, pro-Democratic government said today that abso- lute order prevailed after the coup d'etat, and 1t was reliably reported that the busted president had asked to be allowed to return from Havana as a private citizen.
 AriaS telephoned Ernesto Jaen Guardia, who was second vice pres ident under him, and president for few hours yesterday after the coup, and asked whether the poli- tical upheaval was fait accompli, and If it'was, whether he could come back.
 It was not learned what Guardia had replied. But Arias' return is a question for the new president, Ri- cardo Adolf De La Guardia, to de- eide.
 So far, Arias was accused of mo- thing more than abandoning his office, in violation of the constitu- ton.
 Whether Arias had got wind of the coup and fled to Cuba, or whe- ther the new government had taken advantage of his absence to assume power was not clear
 The new government worked late last night, and the general opinion was that the people were behind 1t. (Continued on Page @

Boston, Oct. 1o-UP)-Love in- terferes with studying but if the right glamour gal or boy comes along it's silly to try to avoid the inevitable" according to Prof. Wayland F. Vaughan, Boston Uni- versity's noted psychologist.
 He warned yesterday in an inter view that serious repercussions may come about in later life If students severely suppress their natural affections for the opposite sex.
