(Continued from Page D after his altercation with Mager- kurth ct Pittsburgh. The incident developed when Magerkurth called balk on Pitcher Hugh Casey to give Pittsburgh the tying run in the eighth inning of . game at Firbes Field. Cosey then tossed three wild pitches and Magerkurth reprimand- cd him. Durocher protested and was evicted from the game. Pittsburgh won the game and, according to reports, Magerkurth was "roughed" by several Brooklyn players while leaving the Aeld.
 MacPhail, Prick and Klem came here to investigate the matter thor oughly.
 T Intend to investigate reports given Tae by Durocher and my ball players that Magerklrth used pro- fane language and that he had been abusive in the early innings Of the game" MacPhail said.
 If I find these reports to be true, I most certainly am going to make Q protest. Durocher has not had as much trouble with the umplres as some people believe and he was not put out of e game this year until the first of August. Then 1t was Magerkruth, and both the president of the league and Klein admitted he had no grounds for doing It."
 Durocher In New Tangle
 It was after last nights private conference that Durocher tangled with Ted Meier, Associated Press sports writer. Meier, 1t was said, re- peatedly questioned him concerning how the Dodgers would do against the phils and sought Q quote that the Dodgers would win all seven games.
 Don't print that because I did. mt say 1t and won't," Dvrocher fin- ally exclaimed heatedly.
 You're not talking to Mager. kurth," Meier said after an ex. change of hot words.
 A short session ensued in an alley between the 173-pound Durocher and Meier, who weighs 230, and after they were separated, Meier complimented the battling Dodger manager on his good left! They shook hands.

side them.
 Much of Ukraine Lost
 But much of the Ukraine was lost, great Russian industrial areas had been taken or were in imminent danger and Kharkov and the Don- cts River Basin were in the path of any new German drive.
 Military experts ridiculed German casualty lists, published yesterday, which put their total losses ct around 100000 men. If, as was claimed, the Germans had lost only about 84,O00 killed, experts said, 1t would mean that on a front of 1,60C miles the Germans had lost only 1 200 men Q day, or fewer than one to the mile.
 Equally, experts ridlculed the Ger man estimates of Russian killed - ,8OO 900. Tn announcing their own dead the Germans had given their wounded as about 3 Ia times more numerous. If the Russians had lost ,8O0O00 men killed, experts said, on that basis they would have lost G. 100000 wounded. This would mean with 1,800,0 900 killed and another l. 000,O00 taken prisoner, a casualty total of 0,0OO,OO0 fnen--a fantastic figure, 1t was said.
 Moscow Radio Heard London, Sept. 20--(UP)-A Rus sian war cominunique, broadcast by Moscow radio, said today that fight ing continued all along the front during the night and was especially fierce near Kiev.
 The communique, picked up here by the United Press listening post said that in one sector of the front a Russian unit heavily attacked the 7th Finnish Infantry, killed or wounded more than 100 Films, and captured i've anti-tanx guns, two mortars, six machine guns, nine other automatic weapons and several thousand rounds of ammunition.
 On the Leningrad front a Russian unit captured 16 guns, 20 motor cars six motorcycles and 10 mortars, the col1munique said.
 Anti-aircraft batteries of the Rus- sian Baltic fleet shot down fouI of an attacking formation of 10 Ger man bombers, 1t was said, and fighter planes of the Black Sea fleet aii arm shot down three pig Jurker-Ss planes. Fighters operating over the approaches to Odessa shot down it bombers, 1t was added.

 The days first communique dis- closing 6 determined German drive on the Arctic coast, said the Rus- slams had inflicted heavy losses on the attacking Germans and ct least 1000 of them died.
 Three picked NaA sS troop units, the Germania, Death and Fuehrer battallonS, and the 136th and i37th Mountain ChaSseur regiments all suffered heavily, 1t was asserted.
 Leningrad Struggle
 On the Leningrad front, the cori- I1lunique said, Russian artillery wiped out Q battalion of German engineers who were trying to build Notifications against expected RuS- sian counter-attacks.
 Tn another sector of the Lenin- grad front, 1t was added, Russian units counter. attacked much larger German forces and killed 1000 of the Germans.
 On the central front, 1t was said, Russian planes routed two German motorized columns and destroyed three infantry battalions, six armor- cd cars, many trucks and eight grounded planes.
 At another part of the central front, according to the communique, Russian units destroyed 90 tanks and 90 motor cars.
 The communique said that 46 German planes were destroyed Wed. nesday against 2S Russian planes.

that hundreds of thousands of Rus- sian troops had been pocketed by the German pincers operation, in- formants said the pocket was so large, and present such opportunt- ties for mobile actions, that the Russians might well fight their way out.
 Belief was expressed also that Budenny had large number of reserves who might yet make 1t diff ficult for the Germans to corsoli- date their gains.
 Conference I'm Week
 It was believed that the Moscow conference would open about . week from today. Experts agreed that for the first period, Britain would be called on to provide the major part of war supplies for Rus- sla because of the longer haul from the United States. But while Rus- sia needs materials urgently now, to replace It's huge losses, the Amer lean and British missions sought to convince Russia of their countries ability and willingness to adopt ade- quate long-rang measures which would show their effectiveness next spring.
 Well informed quarters reported that plans formed in Anglo Amer lean conferences here provided for the dispatch of several hundred planes Q month to Russia in addi- ton to other finished weapons and abundant raw materials for Russian war production.
 Hartman, during his stay here, has been in frequent communication with Washington officials from President Roosevelt down and he has talked with all British leaders concerned.
 No Ala At Present
 There was nothing either Britain or America could do to aid the Rus- sains at the moment against the German drive in the Ukraine, now threatening Kharkov, the Stalino- OTdzhonikidze industrial area and Rostov, ct the mouth of the Don.
 The German penetration to Pol- tava was admittedly 6 serious blow. But ct the same time military ex- perts said that the mere extent of the German penetration, in Q pin- cers movement which left great ilnbeaten Russian forces inside 1t, for fluidity of motion and gave the Russians e chance to fight their way out as they had done in other bat ties, including Minsk.
 There was even said to be an out- side chance that Marshal Budenny by expert use of his reserves believed to be ln the Kharkov area, might put the more advanced Germans in an embarrassing position. They took as a parallel the situation on the central front, where after the Ger mans had driven toward Moscow the Russians had now pushed them back to the vicinity of Smolensk.
 It was believed that on the basis of the claims of the Germans them selves the arms ot their plncers could not be sufficient right now to hold . big force of Russians in-

(Continued from Page i) Russians are still able to defend stoutly their homeland.
 There were reports that some American tanks were en route to Russia via vladivostok, for ship- ment across Siberia but this could not be confirmed.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull's emphatic statement that everything possible was being done to speed up and increase aid to the Soviet Union set the pace for energetic move. ments in RusSia's behalf.
 In addition to the production is- sue, there remained the question of how to get the planes and other supplies to Russia. The sea routes are dangerous and offer delays be. cause of the necessity of reassenl- bling the planes ct the port of dis embarkation.
 Ferry System Risky
 The north Atlantic ferry system for planes will be too risky for use after November because of ad- verse weather conditions in that area during the winter.
 Consideration was being given to use of the new U. s. ferry route across the south Atlantic to Africa. This route continues across Africa under British auspices, and could be extended to Russia via Iraq ard Iran.
 The route from the United States across the Arctic to Siberia, over which two Soviet flying boats now are en route back to Russia from the United States, was deemed dar- gerous and slow. The success of the two planes which took of yesterday from Seattle on their return flight may decide whether or not that route can be used In ferrying Of American planes for Russia use.
