Gravesi Crisis
Since Dunkirk
Eyed by Allies
Soviet Position
AIormins,> Embassy
Friends Hear
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN

United PreSs Statf Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 22-(U.H
Soviet Ambassador Maxim
Litvinov has lodged new and
urgent pleas here for immedi-
ate opening of a second front in
Europe, it was learned today.
The Soviet Unions situation
is SO dangerous, sources close
to the Soviet embassy said, that
the United Nations face the
greatest crisis since Dunkirk.
If the Soviet army is knocked
out, they contend, IS may not
be possible to win the war or it
may take years and millions of
lives to do so.
Litvinov is said to believe that
if the United Nations want to
win the war with the smallest
cost of lives and in the shortest
possible time, a second front
now is imperative.
OPEN CONCERN
Soviet circles here have not
hidden their concern about the
tendency among some of the
United Nations group in Wash
ington to look complacently
upon the Russian situation.
Similar pleas for quick action
to divert German strength from
the Russian front were said to
have been made in London, and
are presumed to DE an important
factor in numerous recent cop(
ferences Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill has held with
American military and supply
officials.
The report that Litvihov has
appealed again to officials here
was confirmed by sources close
to the embassy. Presumably his
appeal was made directly to
President Roosevelt.
Litvinov, ever since his ar

Few Opposed
in State Rae
Van Wosoner, Kelly
Alone in Field

The heads of both Michigan
partisan tickets and much of the
body of those lists will be un-
opposed in the September pri-
mary elections.
The deadline for filing nomi-
mating petitions came yesterday
afternoon with no opposition de-
veloped for either of the two
major party candidates for gov
ernor, Secretary of State Harry
F. Kelly, Republican, and Gov
ernor Van Wagner, Democrat.
Lieut.. Gov. Frank Murphy
Democrat, also found himself
without contest in his party as
the lists closed.
In the Republican primary,
the race developed as expected
with DR.. Eugene c. Reyes, De-
troit, Thomas Read, Shelby, for
mer attorney general and lieu
tenant governor, and state sena-
tor D. Hale Brake, Stanton,
squared off for the lieutenant
governorship nomination.
Kelly claimed the record OF
being the first man in 33 years
to seek a first gubernatorial
ticket unopposed, while state
records indicated rs years have
elapsed since the Democrats
went into the primaries without
q contest for governor, lieuten-
ant governor and US. senator.
The last time Republicans
stood behind one man for gov
ernor in the primaries, the poll
ticitns said, was when the late
Governor Albert E. Sleeper
sought reelection in the war
year of 1918.
Ten of the 80 state sena-
tors now in office, includ-
ing one Democrat, found them
selves without party opposition
at the primaries. Three Of them
and q newcomer had no opposi-
ton filed in either party, and in
the eighth (Kent) district no
Democrats put in an appearance.

Leahy Named
Military Chief
Admiral TO Serve
as War CooVdinotor

BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 22-W.H
Animal William d. Leahy to-
day became in effect an added
member of the Cabinet as an
unofficial Secretary Of National
Defense.
He undertakes the new duties
with the complete endorsement
and approval of both War and
Navy Departments and in no
sense displaces, nor minimizes
L responsibilities of, Secretary
of War Henry L. Stimson, Sec
rotary of Navy Frank Knox,
Admiral Ernest ]. King, or Gen.
eral George c. Marshall.
The facts appear to be that
President Roosevelt needed ex-
pert and 24-hours-a-day assist
ance in his dual jobs as Presi-
dent and commander-in-chief OF
the armed forces. So Leahy has
been named chief of staff to the
commander -in-chief.
The scope Of Leahy's activi-
ties and the extent to which his
decisions will affect military
operations will depend on Mr..
Roosevelt and the admiral since
the latter's authority depends
wholly on his proximity to Mr..
Roosevelt. It is q kind of re-
Elected authority. But 1t can be
very real with the Presidents
support.
Leahy's recall to active serv-
ice on the naval rolls and as
signment to the overall position
as war adviser to Mr.. Roosevelt
was announced at yesterdays
White House conference.

International Union Head Claims Prelim Reports
 Grossly Misleading

Don Harris, international repre- sentative of the International Union of Mine, Min and Shelter Workers, CIo, said today preliminarly reports on the unions presidential election were grossly misleading" He re ferred to reports carried in the Waterbury newspapers in which John J. Drlscoll was said to have been in the lead in the election returns.
 Said Harris: The reports of the local newspapers are based on Q tiny portion of the returns from @ tiny portion of the unions taking part In the election. These reports are grossly misleading. The fact of the matter, despite premature and ill~founded speculation, is that Reid Robinson has maintained the lead during the course of the election thus far, That is shown conclusive ly be reports from sources in Den- yer, as well as from local units of which the Waterbury press has no knowledge"
 Harris also reported that over the week end, 956 metal miners had been furloughed by the Army to work in the copper mines at Butte, Mon- tana, Driscoll forces in the Butte local threatened work stoppages fl the 54 Negroes among the furlough- ed soldiers were allowed to work in the mines, Reil Robinson and James J.
