Enemy planes that might become
based in Bolivia, he cited as an
example, could bomb every South
American capital and menace the
Panama Canal.
He thought direct attack against
continental United States and Can
ada was unlikely but urged as OF
vital importance that the udner
standings with Latin America be
assured and complete for mutual
protection, including the common
use of established bases and facil-
tiles"
Greenslade reported all officers

the presidents orders promptly

$4,000 officers and $4,000 enlisted

MINERAL WELLS, Tex, Sept. Is.
UP)-Three army deserters, armed
with four riot guns and holding a
corporal as hostage escaped today
from the Camp Wolters' brig.
Their hostage was Corporal John
A. Steinbaugh, 81, who was on
guard duty when the men made
their break sometime between and
5 a. m.
The deserters were: Pvt. Audly D.

intersection near Millsap where
they ordered Lcath and Miss Hill

on a worker who might not know
his or her stuff.
The test is what might safely be
called a "dilly."
For instance, the students were
required to pick from four alter
natives the correct answers to SO
questions.
An example was a question on
one of the major objectives of the
farm program. An alternative an
Swer to the question was that the
AAA functioned as an agency to
provide farms for European refu-
gees.
It's safe bet that the man or
woman who checked that answer as
correct got a minus" sign on his
or her test paper.

Knox Reveals Hunt
For Axis Raiders
Starts tuesday

MILWAUKEE, Sept. Is.
(UP) = Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox told the Ameri-
can Legion national conven-
ton today that u. S. naval
forces will begin tomorrow to pro
vide protection as adequate as VIC
can make it" for ships carrying
lend-lease supplies between the
United Staues and waters around
Iceland
The revelation that American
naval action has not yet begun
came after Knox delivered to the
Legion convention message from
President Roosevelt in which the
chief executive called "for unity
of purpose, unity of sentiment and
:. sacrifices"
From its beginnings, the Ameri-
can navy has fought for freedom
of the seas" Knox said.
The president said Thursday night
that the shoot on sight" order was
effective "at once Knox did not
explain the delay until Tuesday.
The president, Knox said, AN
nounced to the world that come
what may, American aid to Britain
was to be delivered where it could
be used to help in the fight against
Hitler in maximum degree"
Beginning tomorrow, the Amer
lean navy will. provide protection
as adequate as we can make it for
ships of every flag carrying lend
aid supplies between the American
continent and the waters adjacent
to Iceland" Knox said.
These ships are ordered to cap
ture' or destroy by every means at
their disposal, Axis-controlled sub
marines or surface raiders encoun-
tered in these waters. That is our
answer to Mr.. Hitler's declaration
that he will try to sink every ship
his vessels encounter on the routes
leading from the United States to
British ports"

The largest of the shocks covered

one of its greatest temblors, killing
65 persons.
Damage, SO far as could be learn

dust were lifted 1000 feet in the

Greatest danger to the Russians
appeared to be developing on the
upper Ukraine front, where tive
German offensives slicing through
the hinge" of the southern and
central fronts pushed toward Khar-
kov and sought to flank the Red
army Dnieper line defending the
Don industrial basin.
Progress of these two thrusts-
one southeast from Gomel and one
across the Dnieper at Kremenchug,
was admitted by Moscow, but the
Russians reported their tanks, artil-
lery and infantry clawing at the
Nazi flanks and inflicting heavy
losses on the enemy in an attempt
to cut off the spearheads.
KIEv THREATENED
The north Ukraine operations
threatened to encircle the capital
of Kiev, which has been fighting
off the Germans for more than two
months, while on the northern front
the Nazis claimed they had broken
through the outer defense of Lenin-
grad and were assaulting the for
mer czarist capital.
Heavy tank attacks, continual air
bombardment and artillery fire were
reported by Berlin to be crashing
against the Leningrad defenses, al
legedly drawing tighter" the circle
of steel around the city. The Ger
man drive on Leningrad has been
in progress a month, but the en-
circlement was not claimed until
September.
The Germans also reported heavy
air attacks on the Black sea port
of Odessa which has been encircled
for approximately a month, and
said their forces were starting an
offensive against the Crimea. This
would indicate that the Germans
had crossed the Dnieper near its
mouth.
UKRAINE IN SPOTLIGHT
Attention was shifted to the
Ukraine front by the Russian ad-
mission that Kremenchug, a key
city east of the Dnieper $50 miles
southeast of Xiv and 140 miles
southwest of Kharkov has fallen
into German hands.
The fall of Kremenchug followed
only 48 hours after the Russians
admitted loss of Chernigov, midway
between Gomel and Kiev, and APP
parently the hinge of the northern
flank of the attempted Nazi pincers
movement.
By pushing east from their pos
itionS at Chernigoy and Kremenchug
the Germans could turn the main
Russian defenseS of the Ukraine
along the Dnieper river and swing
down into the Don river basin which
is the seat of one of the biggest
and most important Soviet indus
trial developments From the Don
basin the Germans would be in a
strategic position to strike south
into the Caucasus oilfields.
