WASHINGTON-No phase of this war is being more carefully studied by U. s. military experts than the Russo German, yet in no battle area has the War Department been so handicapped for adequate informa ! ton.
 No U. S. military observers have been permitted at the front with either the Russians or the Germans, so all they can do is wait in Moscow and Berlin and accept the stereo- typed statements handed them by German Russian military leaders.
 Army strategists in Washington, however, have worked out their ideas on how the Russian should conduct their campaign. And here is the U. s. Army's strategy:
 They would have the Russians follow the same tactics as the Union armies during the U. s. Civil War. That war saw some of the most bril- liant strategy in military history. But although General Lee outfought the North and gained far more ter ritory, he was never able to disrupt the Northern army. It remained intact.
 Thus Lee always faced the threat of the Northern forces bouncing right back at him. And Washington is hoping that Stalin's troops will do the same.
 It is probable that the Russians cannot hold too long against we'll organized panzers. But even if they inflict terrific punishment. and iali back very slowly. it might delay action until the rainy season starts in the fall; by which time the United States will be turning out a real arsenal.

German Invasion Forces Nearing Moscow : ln Sight of MoleAsk OVER TWO MILLION
 IN HITlER'S ARMY Red Defense Holding Bliiz in Every Area Except

tBy Associated Press)

Giant German panzer columns, striking through Russia's Red Army defenses, are reported half way to Moscow from the Russian frontier in sweep that has already en- gulfed Lwow in former Poland; cap- tured Minsk, 20 miles inside the old frontier of Russia: and put Hitler's invasion forces in sight of Smolensk. 200 miles east of Minsk on the highA way to Moscow and only 250 miles from the Russian capital.
 German spokesmen said big pocket is being formed around Rus sian troops in the Smolensk region where special Nazi war bulletin declared, "On the north wing We are constantly in pursuit of the enemy giving again the implication that Russia's resistance to the invader is crumbling under the impact of Hit ler's war machine
 Lightning Tactics
 The Nazis' lightning tactics are being executed by a force which the Russians themselves estimated at more than a half million troops and presumably include Germany's al- lies, the Films, Slovaks. the Ruman- ians and the Hungarians.
 The German command reported the capture of Livau in the Baltic Sea. DNB. official German news agency, declared a ring around Red Army division in the Baltic is being drawn "so narrow and so tight that the destruction of the Bolshe- vists is certain" DNB also said several hundred Soviet tanks and 42 cannon were captured or destroyed northwest of Lwow.
 Stubborn Fighting
 A Russian communiQue said: During last night our troops con- tinued in stubborn fighting in the Murmansk. Dvinsk, Minsk and Luck sectors. In other sections artillery duels took place from reconnais- sance and frequent troop regroup- ing.
 The roar of cannonading was re- ported in major sections along most of the 2,000-mile front from the Ball. tic to the Black Sea while the Ger mans claimed rapid fire series of successes. It was apparent that with the exception of the Minsk area, Russia's Red Armies are still fight ing west of the 1889 Russian from tier.

C.I.O.:
Red or Pink

One OF the by-productS OF the
Inglewood strike and its result was
that the Dies committee findings
came to the fore and began to rem
der some sort of answer to the popu-
lar controversy of the past two
years, whether the clio. is red,
white or just pink.
Rival unions used to call the CLIO.
red-the CLIO. maintained it was
pure white, and the Dies committee
just limited around that it might be
somewhat pink-that there were
Communists in the C.I.O., but that
it was not proven that it was
Communist-controlled or not.
Then came a wide, serious series
of defense or partial defense labor
troubles, most of them involving one
branch or another of the CLIO.
Alabama's Representative Starnes,
active head of the Dies body,
promptly made public that each of
the striking unions had a Commu-
mist or an ex-Communist as its ac-
tive leader.
In the aircraft industry, Chairman
Frankensteen of the aircraft divi-
sion, who had called the Inglewood
strike outlaw" wildcat" and ''un-
authorized" found himself placard-
ed in two ways-as a jackass and
as a traitor to the cause by the very
union over which he had jurisdiction
just as soon as he admitted that the
junior local union chiefs were, in
deed, Communists.
He ordered them suspended from
their jobs, then went to the Ingle-
wood scene of action and made a
plea to the men to 60 back to work.
His plea was unsuccessful.

A SYSTEM THAT CREATES,
THAT'S AMERICAN SYSTEM

HAVE A FRIEND who, as a
young man, started manufacture
ing business on the proverbial "shoe
string" Through energy and ex-
ecutive and sales ability he made it
a success. Today he operates plants
in three states and provides employ
ment for more than 1000 people.
Over the years he has, as we
would say, amassed wealth for him
self. In reality he has added
materially to the national wealth and
in the distribution of our national
annual income. His ability has very
largely helped to provide for the
maintenance of some 1000 Ameri-
can homestead, shelter and cloth
ing for 1000 families. ~
That friend is getting well along
in years now, and some day, like all
Of us, viii pass away, but he will
leave behind the plants which rep
resent an increase in the national
wealth and the more than 1000 jobs
he created. They will go on.
The experience of that friend rep
resents the operation of the Amer
lean system of free competition, the
American way Of life. It has been
operating since the first colonists ar
rived on our Atlantic coast. Be-
cause it is a creative system, it has
made America the most prosperous
nation in the world. It is a system
that creates and divides, and what
it creates, 1t leaves for use by
posterity.I Is ~ Il

A BILL OF IMPORTANCE
TO FARMERS
I.'l|;|
SON
tReleased BY Western Newspaper unionJ

A BILL OF lMFOHIANCc
TO FARMERS
A BILL of great importance to
the American people was recently
introduced in the house of represen.
tatives - H.R. 4591 - by Congress
man August H. Andersen Of Mime
sofa.
H.R. 1891 does not call for billions
of expenditures; it has nothing to do
with the production of war ma
terials; it has nothing to do with
partisanship, but it will not be easy
to get it through congress.
The bill provides for the discov-
cry. introduction into this country,
breeding and testing of agricultural
crops for utilization in industry and
manufacturing, and for replacement
of surplus agricultural crops.
That bill, if and when enacted into
law, will be the foundation on which
a permanent solution of the Amer
lean farm problem can be built. 1t
would provide for crops for which
a market would be available. 1t
would make the farmer Independent
of government doles, but would in
sure adequate farm revenue from
year to year. It would make the
farmer independent of Washington
and for that reason, it will be a
hard bill to pass.
No one doubts the existence OF
hundreds of soil products that can
be utilized in industry, as tung nuts,
soy beans, castor beans, hemp and
others are now being used. Under
the proposed law, they would be
found and applied to industry
through chemical research, to be
conducted largely at state universe
ties.
1t is a simple and practical plan
on which to build permanent solu-
ton of the American farm problem
and is one the farmers want. The
farmer asks for a market for such
things as he can raise, not neces-
sarily for what he now raises. He
wants to produce and be paid for
what he produces, not to be paid for
not producing. The enactment of
Congressman Andersen's bill would
be a definite first step in that direc-
ton.

STRIKES:
A Formula

Ever since President Roosevelt's
Preside chat the nation had been
waiting for a strike-prevention for
mula, realizing that in the presiden-
tial speech there had been a definite
pledge to halt defense work stop
pages in labor disputes.
It remained for the strike at North
American Aviation's plant at 1ngle-
wood, Calf, where $4,000 men en-
gagged in building $196, 000, 900 in
warplanes, to provide the answer,
and the United States to wonder
what kind of an answer it was.
Swiftly, methodically, the troops
moved in and took over the plant,
began wedding out the unions labor
leaders, inspected even the contents
of lunch boxes of returning workers,
and put the plant back into produc-
ton within two days that were re-
ported to be approaching normal"
Within "a hours planes were roll
ing off assembly lines into test
flights, and on the surface all was
apparently well.
But observers began asking them
selves questions during the next
few days when trouble of various
types began to appear, not at North
American Aviation, but at other
plants.
Several things bothered people
who were wondering whether the
use of soldiers to take over plants
would be a workable system of
strike-ending.
Some wondered if perhaps the
strikers at Inglewood weren't a bit
too willing to have the plant taken
over. Others wondered if, perhaps,
the strikers demand of the govern
ment that the pay be raised to 87h
cents an hour, or 1871 cents an hour
more than they were asking of pri-
vate industry, and the same wage
that the government, they claimed,
was now paying workers of similar
skill in similar jobs.
The union leaders were equipping
men with signs reading "hold out
and remember the army can't make
planes"-but their pleas fell for the
most part on deaf ears, and the Sec
ond day of the army occupation they
voted to 60 back in a body.
But the army wouldn't take some
of them back, ordered others re-
classified and showed in the army
at $21 month instead of $40 or
better a week.
