(Bv Associated Press)
In bitter all-night fighting, Rus
sia's troops declared today they
had checked the advance OF Ger
man invasion forces at two main
sectors OF the 2,000-mile battlefront
in the Minsk.Brobuisk and Luck
areas-where the Nazis are strik-
ing directly toward Moscow and
the Soviet Ukraine.
The Germans, by contrast, assert.
ed-that- Mari tank columns
now are far east OF Minsk," CAPT

troops were in sight of Smol ansk
25O miles from Moscow.
A Berlin radio broadcast said
German Bavarian Alpine troops. in
violent action at Lwow, former Po-
land had desh Dyed 100 Soviet
tanks with hand grenades.
A Russian communique tersely
sketched the huge-scale conflict as
follows:
I'm the Minsk and Brobuisk d.
rections, our troops fought all
night against superior enemy
forces, successfully contracting
their attempts to thrust toward the
east.
Infantry, artillery. tanks and
the air force participated in the
lighting"
Inside Frontier
Minsk lies 20 miles inside the old
Soviet frontier. Brobuisk is about
80 miles southeast of Minsk.
The communique also declared
that the Red Army had stemmed
the Nazi onslaught toward the
Ukraine, counter-attacking and de-
stroying German tanks.
Far up in the Arctic, the com
munique said, Pierce clashes with
the German troops are in progress
the enemy is suffering con
siderable losses" This was in the
Murmansk area, at the extreme
Northern tip OF the vast line which
stretches to the distant shores OF
the Black Sea.

claims of having all but smashed

phasized that heavy aerial forces
had been hurled into the assault
on fresh Nazi troops driving TO-

Strong air force cooperation was
reported all along the Red army S

toward Smolensk-about halfway
to Moscow did not comprise an

without doubt soon will prove
most Uncomfortable to the enemy.
This contingent on wheels, il

There is little use regarding the
defense program as merely that; we
must look forward to it's as a war
program, with all that war means.
1t is expected that women will
constitute half the work force in ten
new munitions plants being built for
the government. Four of these plants
will make powder and high explo-
sives, two will load bags and four will
load shells. These plants will be near
small communities and the danger will
be ample, not only because of inher-
ent risks, but because of the spy fac
tor.
In the last war women in England
worked even in fairly heavy indus
tries. While it may not come to that
in this country, it is still fairly GER
tain thing that women will be called
forth in great numbers to man NUM-
tions and other plants in great num-
bers, operating presses, cutting ma
chimes and engaging in other occu-
pations that have been almost entire
ly incorporated up to this time.
In addition to actual shop labor,
women will be called upon to guide
and provide personnel for many types
of civic activities that will tie in with
home defense. The reason for this is
that in this struggle the war comes
to the home town; it isn't confined to
battlefields and oceans. The home de-
Tense factor will be most important
in towns along the Atlantic seaboard
and the Gulf Of Mexico, possibly also

FDR Hits CIO Raid
On AFL Teu1nsters
Expelled AFI Teachers Are
Promised Support
By CIO

Washington, D. Cone of the
shoddiest and cheapest CIO tricks in
union history was sharply criticized
by President Roosevelt who author
lied White House spokesman to say
on his behalf that this is no time for
the raiding of one union by another.
The Presidents denunciation was
called forth by the action of Denny
Lewis, little brother of big John, in
issuing CIO charter to local union
of the International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters in Minneapolis, whose lead
ers were under charges of being Trot-
skyite Communists.
Daniel ]. Tobin, President of the
Teamsters, protested the CIO action
to the President. He declared the
Teamsters had gone on record as sup
porting the national defense program
100 per cent and he attributed the
CIO attempt to undermine the union
in Minneapolis to the Vaccinations of
enemies of American democracy.
Denny Lewis action was criticized
even in CIO ranks. Officials of the
organization in Minnesota warned him
that by antagonizing the powerful
Teamsters Union, the strongest in the
country, the CIO would invite "grave
repercussions" in Minneapolis and
elsewhere.
The alacrity of the CIO in grab
bing A. F. Of l.. organizations ousted
for radicalism was further evidenced
in the case of the three local unions
expelled by the American Federation
of Teachers for Communism. In New
York City, officers of three Commun-
ist-dominated CIO unions-the Ma
tional Maritime Union, the Transport
Workers and the Office and Profess
sional Workers, promised their sup
port to meeting Of the ousted teach
ers.
However, the American Federation
of Teachers issued charters to new
locals in New York City and Phila-
delphia to replace those ousted and

ALL THIS....
And Freedom Too
Church Conference Says
We Must Prove Democ-
racY Best In Service

New York City ULNS).-America
must take positive action to demon
strate that democratic life is more eff
ficient than totalitarianism in promot-
ing the wellbeing and happiness of the
people, the Church Conference of So
cial Work, organized under the Fed
eral Council of Churches, says in it's
annual message. The church confer
ence met recently as an associate
group of the National Conference OF
Social Work at Atlantic City, N. j.
People from all parts of the nation
who are interested in the social mis-
sion of the church took part in the
church conference sessions. Facing
the world of today with it's rough
challenge to all that is Christian they
selected for study certain problems
which have arisen in the present emer-
gensy and others which are of peren-
nial interest. AS an outcome of their
deliberations they sent message to
the churches of the United States
which said in part:
"In world in which hatred and
fear are at the moment the dominant
notes we hold that the age-old prin-
ciple of love on which the church is
founded is more than ever indicated
as the remedy for the worlds frus-
trations and bitternesses. The social
services which are offered under the
care or inspiration of the church rep
resent love in action and constitute
one Of the safeguards of democracy.
"While social service is needed to
alleviate the distress of those who
are victims of the colossal economic
and social maladjustments of our time,
! social action also is required to cor
rect injustice and prevent underprivi-
lege. At time when the nation is
menaced both from without and from
within services which help to safe
guard the health and to keep up the
morale of the people are genuine aids
to national security.
"Our permanent security however
is in democratic attitudes, in the sta
bility of the family, and in the we'll
being of all the people. We cannot
be content merely to oppose totali-
tartan powers. We must also demon
strate that democratic life is more
efficient in meeting needs, in prevent
ing distress and in inspiring devotion
to the common good. We can have
all this and freedom too"
