 London, September II. - (UP) = A fleet of British bombers described by an air ministry communique as a powerful force" and believed not far short of the 1,000- plane level, struck last night for the 50th time at the im- portant German industrial center of DuesSeldorf.
 Thirty -one bombers were missing from the attack on Dusseldorf and other western Germany objectives, the air ministry said. The com- munique added that fighters had carried out offensive patrols over occupied territory during the night, destroying one enemy plane.
 Dusseldorf, Germany's llth city, with a population of $40, 900, had not been raided since July 3l. The Dusseldorf area is crowded with industries essential to the German war effort, specializing in engineer ing works and steel, and consti- tutes target of considerably more importance than many larger cities such as Berlin, Vienna, Munich, and Dresden.
 Its production includes parts for aircraft, warships, and motor vehi- cles as well as torpedoes, mines, heavy guns, shells, bombs, grenades,

 On Road To Stalingrad Blown Up
Every Boat Has Been Destroyed; De- lenders Have No Choice Now, But
 to Take What Nazis Give
By M. S. HANDLER United Press StafR Correspondent

Moscow Sept 11.-UP)-The Soviet Armys organ, Red Star, indicated today that every bridge across the Volga River at Stangrad has been blown up and every boat destroyed meaning that the de lenders have choice except fight to the death of the last man. The Soviet noon communicate ack- nowIedged that the Germans had forced the Russians back on the southwest approach of Stangrad, after gallant stand that had lasted week. On the west ern approach, the Russians had been forced to yield five villages and hamlets in three days, and the noon communique said German automatic rihemen had in 6ltrated Soviet positions.
 DEFENDERS HAVE NO CHOICE
 "Te defenders of Stalingrad have choice except bitter fight to the last man. because there is longer any road for retreat Star said The defenders in 1918 Gin the Russian civil war; had choice when Staln ordered all means of crossing the Voga removed The army knew this and grly approved The road back from Stangrau longer exists In these days the fate of of most
 important centers of life at stake and task to devote lives to haltng the German drive Red Star continued "The defenders must hold the city,
 ALL RETREAT IS CUT OFF
 It then recalled that Salin had cut off all of retreat by the Voga when Stalingrad called Tsar sin" "There only one way = attack the enemy" Red Star said The is true today. We don't have road back from Staingrad It is closed by order of the mother country people. "The Fatherland demands that the defenders fight and hold No sacrifice is too great for Stalngrad and Volga. Woe to him who m this historic hour hasn't the courage to face danger and
 trying to his skin betray his comrades and covers the flag with shame.'

RUSSELL BROWN
is PLEASED BY
new OIL SETIJP

Many Montana oil men have been
waiting for word from Russell 3.
Brown, general counsel of Indepen-
dent Petroleum Association at Wash
ington. D. c. regarding the appoint
ment of Harold L. Ickes as admins
traitor of petroleum, since press ac-
counts indicated that there was little
change in the OPC other than the
title.
Russell Brown declares that the
new agency is a distinct improvement
over the old OPC arrangement
"On paper it may not appear to be
so different from the present setup. T"
he says, but in fact a considerable
difference is indicated. This may be
illustrated by the similarity between
the words astronomy" and "astro-
logy" Astronomy has become a defin-
tie science by which our plans and
ships are able to reach definite OBJ
jectiVes with assurance, while aStro-
logy indicates that a group Of wish
full thinkers who feel that our course
Is directed in accordance with some
preconceived condition brought about
by the star under which we we're born.
The latter enables people to DRIFT
along justifying their failures to act
with .oracular pronouncements and
directives with the hope that If wes
do not have the oil necessary we can
solve that whole problem by ration
ing what oil we do have"
Discussing the presidential order,
Brown says that 1t provides for plan
ming and administering the materials
supply for the use of the petroleum
industry "All powers exercised by the
price administrator relating to petro- |
leum are superseded except such
powers as are exercised under author
ity of the price control act as
This order requires that all
of government shall adj
wise with the administrator before TAX
ing any action which might affect the
continuous ready availability Of petrol
cum for military and essential indus
trial civilian needs" This in substance +
puts full responsibility for petroleum
on Administrator Ickes, which should
be gratifying news to us all.
This order provides central
through which is channeled
Ill governmental activity with relation
70 petroleum and should very greatly
simplify our industry operators
through the period of the war. The
on the administrator to
'eport direct to the president enables
he president to maintain direct In
formation as to our requirements in
he maintaining of sufficient supply
# petroleum products"
Several have asked whether the
Journal would print the full text Of I
he order. c
The order covers five solid, single (
pace typewriter pages, requiring I
more space than Is available in this '
ssue. Copies Of the official order may {

only other operator in the new dis
trict is w. M. Hanlon, who shared the
leases offered at that sale, and he Is
drilling two wells. Outside Of those
operations there were but six active
wells IN the field.
Trigood's two latest competitions
were swabbing 300 and $50 Dbl, re-
sectively. week after completion, be-
fore they were shut down to install

There was but one completion this
week and that one is gas wen. 1t is

million cubic feet of gas per day in
the Sunburst sand. 1t was drilled into
the upper Cut Bank sand but the
lower Cut Bank and Ellis we're not
drilled. Although the gas is needed it
is yet to be determined whether WPB
win allow it to be produced since it
is on a smaller tract than $40 acres

marily drilled for oil.

SURVEY OF OIL
FIELD SUPPLIES
ISM PROGRESS

survey OF all completed oil Wells
throughout the State OF Montana was
undertaken this week by a group OF
committeeman Of whom Walter Rand
Of Cut Bank is technical chairman
following a meeting held In Cut Bank,
on Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was to have been at
tended by Lee Flood, representing the
OPC at Washington, d. c.. but he was
unable to make plane connections and
the meeting was held without him.
He reached Casper. Wyo.. where he
met with Wyoming operators on FRI
day and announced that he would try
TO come to Montana at a later date.
Chairman Rand passed out to the
|l6 attending committeeman. repre-
senting Cut Bank, Kelvin and Pondera
oil fields, printed forms for distribu-
ton among producers and gave de-
tailed instructions on uniform methods
of compiling and registering the in
formation. The forms viii not be
mailed out but will be presented BY
committeeman to individual operators
and committeeman win assist in their
completion. Each committeeman is
provided with a weight sheet showing
the weight Of various types Of oil field
materials, also tables showing oil re-
serves in producing properties.
The forms provide for such informa-
ton as the names and locations Of all
wells, present production or date when
last produced, an inventory Of all cas-
ing, rods, tubing. powers and other
equipment with a description Of the
condition and reeoverability. II the
well is a producer, the probable re-
serves are set up. Wells are divided
into four classifications:
Glass A: exhausted wells or dry
holes. ready for abandonment.
Glass B: wells likely to be abandoned
before July /, 1913.
Glass c.: wells that might be aban-
doned because too closely spaced
among wells which could recover oil
reserves.
Glass D; economic producers.
1t was agreed that the minimum
yield per well is three bar
'els in Cut Bank; two barrels in Pom
iera and one barrel in Kelvin

good performances, today notched
his first triumph by blanking the
Cleveland Indians. to 0, in an alb
breviated game. The contest was
called in the Detroit half of the

In extending Detroit's home win

The defeat, fifth in succession
