BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The battle in Southern Russia
is approaching a climax, with the
Nazis reported to be hurting all
their available reserves Ger
mans, Rumanians and Slovaks--
across the Don River in the hope
of trapping the armies Of Mar
shall Semeon Timoshenko.
In the north the Germans are
fighting only defensive action
to prevent endorsements from
that sector reaching the hard
pressed Southern Russian armies.
1t is doubted in Washington
that the Nazis have withdrawn
any forces from Western Europe.
1t appears that the reserves
which have been hurled into the
battle in the last 10 days are
composed of troops which had
been concentrated in Southern
Russia for several weeks and had
been slowly following the march
of the shock divisions.
AS soon as a shock division is
broken up by heavy casualties
the reserves are sent in to re-
place them.
Knew Power Of Resistance.
The Nazi high command knew
the power of the Russians re-
sistance and it is unlikely that
any detail has been overlooked
in the most important campaign
the Germans have fought so far.
Hence, it can be assumed, the
commanders in the field do not
have to rely on reserves from
Western Europe, many hundreds
of miles away, but have them
ready for any emergency in close
by areas.
The main hope of Washing
tons high officials that a disaster
can be averted by the Soviet
armies springs from the fact that
the Russians have shown their
mettle as defensive fighters and
from the knowledge that the
Russians will resist as long as is
humanity possible. The wear and
tear on the Nazi forces is ire
mendous and the Russians have
been able to withdraw in as good
order as could be expected from
troops which are compelled to
yield ground under enemy pres
sure.
The great handicap to Marshal
Timoshenko's forces, of course,
is the lack of a steady supply of
tanks and planes. Although air
craft can be flown from distant
sections OF Northern Russia, the
Soviet commander must use his
tanks sparingly. because of the
difficulty OF getting them south
from Murmansk and Archangel.
The effect of the heavy Nazi
raids on Murmansk is now being
felt. The havoc created by Nazi
bombers in that Arctic port has

Darden Signs Atlantic Area
Marine Fisheries COMPACT
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. July 31.-Gov.
Darden yesterday affixed his sigma
ture to the Atlantic States Marine
Fisheries Compact, already signed by
the Governors of 10 States, and
thereby made the Commonwealth of
Virginia a full member OF the new
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission.
This action was authorized by the
last General Assembly. chapter 400
of the acts of 1912.
The fisheries commission is a re-
suit of five-year meeting of States
Of the Eastern Seaboard who were
originally called together to see what
could be done by the States to pre-
vent further depletion of fishing and
to save and develop the coastal
fisheries.
The compact is signed by the
Governors of New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire. Massachusetts, Maryland,
Maine, South Carolina and Virginia.

gate the rubber shortage, ascertain
the facts and make recommended
lions. At his press conference, Mr..
Roosevelt admitted he had CON
suited" with Mr.. Stone on the sub
ject but there came simultaneously
from the Chief Justice statement
that he had no intention of making
any such investigation.
There we're some who thought that
this declination was unnecessarily
curt and others who felt that in
national crisis no man is justified
in refusing a call from the Presi-
dent. In most cases these views are
sound enough, but not in this case.
In this case Mr.. Stone was thor
oughly justified in both the firm
ness and the promptness OF his re-
fusal.
To have acted differently would
have encouraged practice that
already has detracted from the dig
nifty of the court and which, II al
lowed to persist. would lower its
standards and destroy its prestige.
1t consists of the presidential tend
ency, which easily might become a
habit, to turn to the members of
the Supreme Court for help on ad-
ministrative problems or for advice
on patronage, policies and politics.
Destroys Aloofness.
There is no better way to lessen
the esteem in which the court is
held by the people than by thus dis
regarding the tradition of aloofness
from all things administrative or
political which is supposed to be
basic in this, the highest of all
American institutions, a popular
reverence for which is essential to
our system. More than any of his
predecessors, Mr.. Roosevelt has
used members Of this court on mat
tiers utterly unconnected with the
court.
To such an extent has this been
done that one OF the justices is pc
riodically doomed by his intimates
as a candidate for the vice presi-
dency and the White House influence
Of another is frequently sought by
those who want appointment as
members of commissions or to diplo-
matte posts. The best type at the
bar and the best type on the bench
alike have felt mortified and uncom-
Portable over this situation, but have
been unable to do anything about it,
Last winter when the President
named Justice Owen Roberts as head
OF a commission to investigate the
charges OF Army-Navy negligence
at Pearl Harbor, the point was made
that, with three members of the
