PALO ALTO. Calf, Aug. 13-
Herbert Hoover and other Republic
can leaders were criticized today by
group of Palo Alto Republicans,
including eight Stanford University
faculty members. for their attitude
opposing the Roosevelt administra-
tons foreign policy.
The Palo Alto group in a state
ment took exception to the view
point expressed by "l5 well-known
Republicans" specifically naming
Mr.. Hoover, ALI M. Landon. Presi-
dent Ray Lyman Wilbur of STAN
ford. Frank o. Lowden, Irwin S.
Cobb, Charles G. Dawes, Robert M.

In our opinion their pronounce
ment misstates and confuses the real
issues and does not represent the
attitude of a majority of the Re-
publican party. 1t overlooks the
vital Importance to the United
States of preventing Nazi victory -
the statement declared.
SignerS, who described themselves
as Republicans, included various

Nozi Divisions Beuten

| MOSCOW, Aug. 13.-The Soviet
command drew blanket of silence
today over the bloody operations of
the vast German Russian battle
field, reporting in its second con-
secutive communique only that
nothing of Importance" was taking
| place there:
All designation of sectors. was
dropped.
| Other Russian war reports dealt
with isolated actions. One German
| division was reported smashed and
another beaten back on an unspeci-
fled part of the front.
Possibly the most important Incl
dent announced by the Soviet COM
mand was the destruction of the
Danube River railway bridge and
pipeline at Cerna-Voda connecting
Bucharest with all Black Sea ports
of Rumania.
Ports Held Isolated.
The communique, describing this
bridge as one of the largest in Eu-
rope, said it was blown into the
river by waves of Soviet dive
bombers. Two anti-aircraft bat
| teries defending the structure we're
| blasted out, the communiQue said
The oil pipeline feeding the Black
Sea coast from the Rumanian oil
fields also was declared knocked out.
| The right bank of the Danube
| and Rumanian ports are now cut
of from the rest of Rumania for a
long period said the communioue.
| The Russians said the 68th Ger
man Infantry Division was virtually
wiped out during a long battle OF
strong army forces for control of a
railway station, whose location was
not specified.
! A German S. S. tblack- uniformed
Elite Guards division, supported by
two regiments of a Viking" divi-
sion and tanks and artillery. was
routed from the station, the So
Wet war bulletin reported. and the
68th was smashed when it tried to
retake the position.
New Nazi Drives Seen Checked.
Some Russians took the view thai
the Red Army reports indicated the
new German drives had been stale
mated. reducing the third big Naz
| offensive of the war to minor, loca
actions.
These observers said the first Ger
man push came 10 pause Wher
the invaders stopped to gather force
after their swift opening thrus
across the newly Sovietized western
border provinces. The second of
fensive, they said. begged down aftel

Those who took this view said tn

Justification OF the sacrifices

tragic circumstances Of the pres
ent international conflict.
I'VE are assisting at one Of the
deepest agitationS in history. II
is not as in l9l4-18 a clash of ma
tional formulas. incipient though
vigorous, against other national
formulas.
Now the phenomenon is COM
pletely different. Mystic negation
has placed in doubt the most
venerable values of men. the re-
spect for the given word of ma
tons. the right of the family. the
faith in the power of indepen-
dence.
Not only is the political order

breaking down, but the very
theological framework itself. upon

If the North American govern
ment should declare war against

this fact alone would not make il

CAUSE OF LIBERTY

Born under the sign OF de-

by the light of these, considera-

born of the integrity Of their evo-
