While Reformed Jewry concluded

Jews returned again to their syna-
gogues today to hear the time-hon-
ored blasts of the shofar. or ram S
horn, which symbolizes the father
hood Of God. the brotherhood of
man and the coming of the Mes

According to the Hebrew calendar

also opens a Today period of re-

While service men and visitors

a fortnight ago of the worst setback
Hitlers 'invincibles" had thus far
suffered. At Yelnia we found salts

have involved heavy German losses.
The Russians, it will be remem-
bered, claimed smashing eight Ger

which lasted more than a month.

visited, is a -gutted mess. II is
pretty plain from everything We
have seen and heard on this trip
that over much of Marshal Timo-
shenkos central front the Russians
for some weeks have held the initia-

various local advances ranging from

For nearly a week we have been

In fact. We have been assured that
there are more Soviet planes in this

Local Attacks by Russians.
Doubtless the German aim has
been to stabilize the central front
in order TO free troops and planes
for more urgent operations around
Leningrad and in the Ukraine But
the Russians have sought 10 frus-
trate this plan as much as possible
through local attacks at widely sepas
rated points.
Broad Soviet policy aims at whit

terial resources OF the Nazls in the
conviction that the superior re-
sources of Russia and her allies Will
ultimately prove decisive. Ihls
point. Red commanders repeatedly
stressed during our conversations
with them, putting more emphasis
on the destruction OF numerous Ger
man divisions than on the recov-
cry of small strips OF territory. Ihey
pointed out, however, that counter
attacks had other useful results. first
to recapture number OF German
bases which might have been used
as starting points for future drives
to Moscow, second by forcing the
Germans to utilize more troops on
the central front than they intend
ed. thus helping ease pressure on
Leningrad and the Ukraine.
The Russian officers are proud OF
the superiority Of their artillery and
along the front We found Soviet
guns beating a faster tempo than
German. Normally it is the German
practice to let dive-bombers and
trench mortars compensate for ar
tillery weakness, but on this front
at least the Nazis at present lack
the aerial supremacy necessary 70

fective.
1t is doubtful whether Hitler can

DETROIT, Sept. 23.-Gov. Murray
D. Van Wagner of Michigan de-
clared today that the Nation faces
economic chaos within three
months" unless civilian labor and
materials priorities are granted i'm
mediately to areas unable to par
ticipate in the national defense
effort.
Appearing as witness before q
special House committee investigat-
ing national defense migration, the
Governor asserted production quotas
and defense priorities over essential
materials threaten to wipe out the
small businessman and industrialist
He said Michigan, as we'll as other
States, was confronted with eco
nomic and welfare problems far
wore than the depth of the last de.
preston because small community
industries are being starved by de-
tense priorities and their resources
are not being utilized.
Turning to the curtailment OF
automotive production, which he
contends will throw thousands out
OF work because they cannot be
absorbed into defense production
Gov. Van Wagner urged adoption
OF a 32-hour week which he said
would prevent any unemployment
in Detroit before December and
reduce 1t materially after that time
Representative Osmers. Repub-
lican, Of New Jersey, interrupted
Gov Van Wagoner's testimony to
announce that he intended to in
troduce in Congress an amendment
to the Social Security Act extending
to 26 weeks the possible period of
unemployment compensation pay
ments. The period now is l6 weeks
The Governor commented that
the question there is whether the
States would have enough money in
their unemployment compensation
pools to last through the emer-
gency."
To prevent labor dislocation. Mr.
Van Wagner urged ALLEGATION OF
additional defense contracts, es-
pecially to small communities. and
acceleration of defense jobs, meas
ures to protect the economic security
OF workers temporarily displaced
and a check on the flow Of migrating
workers into industrial centers until
