CITY DEMOCRATS PLAN STRATEGY
Will Not Have Any Big
 Campaign Seen Assured of Election

Confident of victory in the city election in November, Democrats plan to run only . brief election campaign. The party'S board of strategy has decided to delay noEn- mating conventions till close to the deadline in an effort to capitalize on prevailing dissension within the Republican ranks. Only one slate of delegates to city, town and school conventions was filed during the prescribed period at party head quarters last night, and Its members will be elected automatically Friday when Town Committee Secretary Cornelius F. Malolley casts Q single vote.
 The conventions to renominate Mayor Vincent A. Scully and other members of the administration will be held all the same night, almost certainly not until the second week of October and perhaps as late as Monday, Oct. i3. The election is to be held Nov. {, and the law re- quires that party tickets be filed three weeks before that date.
 The organization slate filed last night was accompanied by Q de- posit of $500. as required by party rules.
 The actual Democratic campaign will last only two weeks or, at the most, three weeks. Rallies which are being scheduled are being set down for dates late in October and in the first three days of November

 The Shah. who will be succeeded by his son, Grown Prince Mohan' med Riza Pahlevi, 21, has proceed. ed to Isfahan, 2l0 miles south oi 'Tehrafi, The Shah said poo health was the reason for his abdi- cation. (United Press Moscow dis patches reported Russian denuncia- ton of the Shah on the grounds that he had dealt dishonestly with the Russians and British and had caused "intolerable delay" in oust- ing German and Italian agents from the country)
 Troops Very Close
 As the premier told a special ses- sion of parliament of the Shah's abdication Russian occupation forces advanced to Karaj, % miles from the center of Tehran, and British armored forces were advancing from the south towards the out- skirts of the capital.
 (London dispatches said that news of the Shah's abdication caused great satisfaction in authoritative British circles. The British said that dissatisfaction with the Shah's regime had been growing in Iran, The British were represented as sharing popular 1ranian desires for constitutional reforms, which were described as overdue.

MIXED MARRIAGES ARE RECOGNIZED
Appellate Court of Montreal
 Makes Decision; Annul- ments Are Affected

Montreal, Sept. l6-(UP)-A de- cision of the appellate court today recognized the legality of marriages between Catholics and -Catho- lies, affecting more than 100 annul- ments in Quebec province.
 The decision set aside an annul- ment granted in lo3e by Judge AL bert Forest. He had ruled that a marriage between a Catholic and a Protestant. performed by Protes- tant minister without special dis pellsation of the Catholic church, violated Canon law of 1908.
 The appellate court found that Canon law Of I6e6. permitting mix cd marriages without the Catholic church's consent, is supported by provisions Of the civil code.
 The appeal was brought by Canon R. s. ". Howard, c Church of Eng land clergyman who performed the ceremony. He contested Judge For- est's contention that the Catholic marriage code ia as valid as thu civil code for Roman Catholics h quebec courts.

Efforts Spurred to In. crease Flow of Ameri-
 can British Aid RED ARMY COUNTER
 ATTACKS DIE DOWN Britain Has Dropped Her Velvet Hand in Regard
 to Persia, Others
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News EdltOr)


 United Press Foreign News EditOr)
 Adolf Hitler's armies strik- ing eastward from the lower Dnieper River created the gravest threat of the war to Russia's chief industries to- day and spurred efforts to ill- crease the flow of British and American aid to the Red Army. The German armed forces, sparked by the Luft- waffle and tank units, broke bitter Russian resistance at unspeci- fled points on the Dnieper and then advanced "victoriously on broad front" according to the Nazi coHfa- munique. The Russians had no coEl1- ment, but London took a grave view of the advance as @ threat to the Great Donetz basin war industries.
 Berlin also reported in special divisions, presumably about 270,O00 men, had been destroyed or de- feated in the Lake linen sector, where the Red Army had been fighting to relieve bombed and bat tered but still unbroken defenses Of Leningrad.
 These developments, while not nec- essarily impairing the ability Of the Russians to fight on through the winter, indicated that the Red army counter -offensiveS had died out for the time being ct least.
 All Speeding Ahead
 How great the German gains might be and how much they may impair the fighting ability of the Red army remained to be deter11a- ined, but in London both American and British officials were intensi- flying efforts to speed material aid to Russia and to convince Moscow that no sacrifice would be avoided to bolster the eastern front.
 Britain and the United States were understood to have agreed to provide Russia with several hun dred fighting planes Q month af- ter January and to 90 halves With the Red army on available mater. ials. This was said to have re suited from bitter complaints by Moscow over the results of British American aid in the first two months of war.
 Arrangements also were made to facilitate use of the supply route across Iran, where British and Russian troops advanced to the outskirts of Terhan today and forced the abdication of the Shah because his cooperation was slow and hesitant.
 Berlin, Rome Bitter
 The question of American naval protection for supplies to Britain and Russia continued to arouse bit- ter comment in Berlin and Rome as a result of the speech of Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox saying that all ships would be protected as far as the Iceland zone.
 Virginia Gayda, Fascist editor, said that the speech made the United States an unequivocal bel- ligerent and that grave risks were assumed by the American navy, while the Nazi spokesman said

GERMANY

BY FREDERICK c. OECHSNER Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Berlin, Sept. l6-(UP)-The high command said today that German armies had destroyed or defeated 18 Russian divisions with heavy casualties on the Leningrad front and were advancing "victoriously on a broad front" from bridgeheads east of the lower Dnieper river.
 The advance eastward from the lower Dnieper-aimed at the heart of Russia's Ukraine war industry centers - followed a ''bold" attack led by the luftwaffe and by tanks in several days of bitter fighting the communique said.
 The drives presumably were m- tended to enclrcle Kiev and push toward the railroad and industrial center of Kharkov, then to col lapse the main Russian defenses iTl the Ukraine before the rich Donetz industrial basin.
 The bridgeheads established by the Germans (presumably at Krem' enchug, Gormel and elsewhere) aft CT breaking bitter Russian resis' tance on the lower Dnieper, wer' first extended by tanks and German infantry divisions. the high com mand said.
