Maryland University
Machine Tool Shop
Praised by DR.. Byrd
One of Most Useful Units
Ever Built on q Campus,
Educator Declares

The machine tool shop now being
erected on the campus of the Uni
versity of Maryland is "one of the
most useful units ever constructed
on a college campus" DR.. H. C..
Byrd, university president, said yes
terday.
The project, which is sponsored
by the National Youth Administra-
ton, will perform a different func-
ton than the one at Beltsville,
which is intended for training boys
who live far from industrial areas,
where they could be trained for de-
fense work.
In addition, DR.. Byrd pointed out,
the Maryland plant will be stated
by university students who are eligi-
BILE for N. Y A. assistance in paying
their school fees. persons taking
defense courses at the university,
and will be used also to train in
dustrial arts teachers.
$4,000 Worth of Tools.
1.-THE industrial arts teachers are
particularly important" DR.. Byrd
said. I'VE have been asked to re-
lease some of our seniors prior to
gradua ton to start right in as teach
ers in the industrial arts. This shop
will be of great help to us in train
ing them
Defense material production will
also be an important part of the
plant, according to DR.. Byrd. The
project at Maryland is equipped
with $4,000 worth of machine tools:
the Beltsville project, which will
also produce material for defense
use, has s45,000 worth.
Since the administration IS being
handled by the N. Y. A., DR.. Byrd
said that he did not know who
would be the supervisor of the plant.
It will be completed within about
80 days, he said.
Students to Be Paid.
Students working in the shop will
receive a maximum of $24 month,
according to a pamphlet issued by
the N. Y. A. explaining the project.
The shop will contain industrial
machine tools, sheet metal, welding
and forge equipment.
DR.. Byrd praised Glen D. Brown,
State N. Y. A. administrator, in
connection with the Maryland pro-
ject. Mr.. Brown is on leave of alb
sence from the university, where he
is head of the industrial arts de-
partment.

 New Secret Weapon London, Aug. 31 - (U.P.) = The Exchange Telegraph Agency report ed today from the Rozhev front that the Russians have put a new secret weapon into action-the Ka- tyusha gun.
 The gun was said to have been employed with special success in the Roztev attack and was described as "speaking with an enormous roar after which enormous craters are inflicted by her shells"
 The Exchange Telegraph dispatch quoted the Russians as reporting that the American medium tanks performed very well except in wet ground where their caterpillar tread was said to be too narrow for best results.
 The Fords. Dodges and Jeeps ir use by the Russians were said tc have given excellent service.
 The agency said that the Katy usha performed particularly well in the attack. on PogoreIoye -0odo- rische in which 1t smashed 60 per cent of German firing power and enabled the Russians to take the Notifications in 90 minutes.

Counter Attacks Of
 Soviets Taking Toll
(Continued from Page D

A counter-attack was reported northeast of Kotelnikovskl, which Is 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad. In night raid, 8 Soviet unit killed 200 Germans and captured two guns, five machine guns and 41 tommy guns and rifles.
 Tough Cossack cavalrymen charged into the German gear south of Krasnodar, where the enemy has advanced close to the German naval base of Novorossisk on the Black Sea- They killed 300 Ger mans and destroyed 20 trucks of supplies.
 Another Russian counter blow, seemingly of big proportions, threw the enemy back across a water bar rier in the area of Prokhladnenski, 85 miles from the Grozny oil fields, the noon communique said. Eleven German trucks, three tanks and a company of infantry were destroyed.
 Defenders Reinforced
 The defenders of Stalingrad and the Volga river line were reinforced by Red marines, new infantry. tank and plane reserves, and struck tell ing counter-blows. destroying thous- ands of the best Nazi shocks troops and scores of planes and tanks.
 The northwestern sector of the Stalingrad front was the most criti- cal. A German spearhead had driven to the approaches of the city, while hundreds of German bombers made a simultaneous ef- fort to level It's buildings.
 The Russians stopped the spear head of that attack several days ago, when the situation was in It's

 Moreover, 1t was dedicated, the air offensive against Stalingrad had considerably slowed. Fires shoulder ed in some sections, but municipal police were repairing the damage to water and gas mains and communi- cations.
 The counter attacking Russians seized two villages from the Ger mans Saturday. Losing hope in one. the Germans fled, only to find Rus slams had cut them off from behind. The Germans were decimAted.
 Front-line dispatches indicated no slackening of battles anywhere.
 Having failed in their initial at- tempt to storm Stalingrad, the Ger mans apparently had regrouped to attack again from both north and south, still without overcoming steadily stiffening resistance.
 Although the Russians were con- fined to a narrow area. with the shallow Volga their only means of communication, they managed to stem the enemy's spearhead and make a series of counter attacks which improved their positions.

 India -based planes, bombers pro- tected by fighters, raided Myitkyina on successive days after the Japan csc had completed repairs necessi- tated by previous American raids.
 Destroy Half of Japs
 Chungking, Aug. 3l-A Chinese communlque reported today that Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek's troops have recaptured Sungyang in their Chek- iange province offensive, destroying half of the Japanese defending troops and driving the remainder eastward.
 The, Chinese in eastern Chekiang were said to be continuing to ad- vance.
 Chinese forces were said to have raided Japanese boat on the Pengshih river, west of Hsientao in central Hupeh, killing and wounding 100 Japanese.
 Other reports said that the Chi- nese were storming Kinhwa, the air base city, and were seeking to drive the Japanese from Nanchang, cap- ital of Kiangsi.
 Possession of NanchanRe would be of great importance, because besides being the western terminus of the Nanchang- Hangchow rail- road. 1t is the main headquarters for the Japanese in central China. Loss of Nanchang would force the Japanese to transfer their head quarters to Hankow, 180 miles to the north.

 That Japanese military machine their credit and predominance must be utterly broken for the future safety and welfare of the United States and of the United Nations, and for the future safety and well fare of civilization and humanity" Grew said.
 He cautioned Americans against expecting Japan to crack under pressure of reverses-they will serve only to steel the Japanese for great CT sacrifices, he said. Then, he added:
 If we Americans think that, col- lectively or individually, we can continue to lead our normal lives, leaving the spirit of self-sacrifice to our soldiers and sailors, letting the intensification of our production program take care of itself, we shall unquestionably risk the danger of a stalemate in this war of ours with Japan"
 Grew said the Stupidity of Japan csc police in charge of American internees was surpassed only by their utter cruelty.
 One American was bound securely hand and foot, and rolled over on his back. The police poured six buc- kets of water into his mouth and nostrils. The prisoner lost conscious ness, and was revived so the process could be repeated.
 That same American later was kicked by policeman and a rib was broken. When he complained, the policeman felt out the broken rib and asked the prisoner If that was 1t. When told that 1t was, "he kept, he said. that many told him that broken rib as hard as he could" Grew said.
 So terrible were the conditions under which some prisoners were kept, he said, that many told his they would commit suicide rather than return.

winter. Much of this force he could otherwise have diverted to western Europe and the Middle East. As 1t is. there would be no winter period of recuperation for Hitler's over- worked armies.
 The above outline is predicted on the fall of Stalingrad and the loss of the Volga, which would deprive the Russians of its use as a supply artery for the two remaining months before 1t freezes for the winter. But the fall of Stalingrad can by no means be conceded. The Rus sians now are fighting in the deep defenses westward of the city, and Russian soldier has no peer in de- lending such positions. That was Illustrated last year in the successful defense of Moscow. The situation at Stalingrad is quite similar. except that the Germans actually were in better position at Moscow.
 At Moscow. the Germans threw out two menaclng pi1cery which swept past Moscow north and south of the city, coming perilously close to completely encircling 1t and the defending army. Timoshenki Is not confronted by this danger, at least not yet.

 The fact that the Japanese land- cd their men only six miles from Gloves main force showed the com. pleteneSs of the surprise which awaited the enemy.

 Ready for Jap Return
 Headquarters, United States Pa ci1c ? ct, Aug. 3l.-CUP)-United States forces in the southern Solo, mon Islands--marines, warships and land based planes-are now ready to meet any Japanese challenge well informed quarters said today.
 Informants said the American forces unquestionably had won the first two rounds of the Solomons battle.
 There was no over confidence here but 1t was said that the United States forces had held superiority ever since their first landings were made Aug. '.
 Now, informants said, the Japa- nese might be plotting to hurl fleet units into an attempt to dislodgt the marines. It was indicated that the Unied Saesdz :tdSHRSHRSHR the United States fleet command had foreseen this possibility anc was prepared to meet 1t.
 One of the most significant points of the marine operations in the Solomons was that they had proved American superiority in hand tc hand guerrilla fighting.

Rhoads and GlaSer ad- ditionally were charged with sell ing, at a profit of 930.OO0 to them selves, an option on machine tools they received from Emerman.
 The false returns indictment charged Rhoads and Glager with making false returns for expenses which they charged to the govern ment on trips to Philadelphia, Chi- cago and elsewhere in carrying out the alleged conspiracy. c

 Yankee Bombs In Egypt
 Cairo, Aug. 31.-(UP)-Heavy and medium bombing planes of the United States army air force have successfully attacked Axis landing grounds east of Matruh, on the Egyptian coast, and harbor and shipping facilities at the big Axis base of Tobruk on the Libyan coast, communique said today In raid Saturday night several fires and large explosions were ob- served on the Matruh landing grounds, the communique said, and one explosion and several large fires were caused at Tobruk.
 The communique said that anti aircraft fire met in the raids was moderate and that no enemy fight CTS challenged.
 All planes returned safely.
 Working in close co coordination with the British and South African air forces, the American planes were striking at the key supply bases and communication lines of the Axis forces.
 Great four motored bombers of both the American and British air forces, aided by bright moon, en- gagged in the attack on Tobruk and plane crews reported they saw fires spreading rapidly in supply dumps and on docks. One cargo vessel was left blazing in the haroor.,
 FOrtresseS Are Great
 Somewhere in England, Aug 31.- (UP)-United States flying fortress es have scored at least 70 per cent hits in their seven raids in two weeks on German occupied territory to become the kings of bombers, crew members said today.
 Some planes have landed with all their instruments smashed, with two of their four motors dead with their windshields shattered, with parts of their wings and tails shot off.
 It is estimated at this fortress base that some planes have come back with 1000 sharpnel holes in them. One had some 1000 holes in 1t.
 The planes have taken everything the Germans could give and not one has failed to return. In their eighth operational flight, over the North Sea, they met between 20 and 35 Focke Wulff fighters without fighter support of their own and shot down three and probably six more.

 So serious had the enemy posi- Mon become that well informed quarters even suggested that the Japanese command might be faced Boon with whether to withdraw en- hrely from New Guinea, or make q desperate attempt to reinforce its garrIsons on a major scale.
 In his regular communique today, MacArthur reported sporadic fight Ing in the thick jungle country around Kokoda, which is inland rom the enemy's Buna- Coma base up the coast from Milne Bay. in which Australian combat patrols re- pulsed enemy forces with heavy casualties.
 He said enemy ground activity was increasing in the Salamaua area of the Huon Gulf, farther up the coast.
 Though the communique implied that in the Buna-Gona and Sala- maua areas the Japanese were at tacking. it was believed possible that they had sensed preparations for an Allied offensive threatening their entire position in New Guinea.

 Failing that, the Japanese tried to attack Fort Moresby from the sea with large convoy force. This at tempt was broken, MacArthur re- vealed, in the battle of the Coral Sea, Japan's first big defeat in the Pacific war.

 Observers see the situation as one offering an opportunity to the Re- publicans to nominate a candidate who would have labor support. If the G. o. P. fails to do this, 1t is argued, there will almost certainly be an independent candidate in the field.
 A new party would further com plicate the local election picture. The Democrats, Republicans, and Socialists are already on the bal lot. The Socialist Labor is seeking a place, as is the American Progress sive party fathered by Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston.
