By the Associated Press.

BERLIN (From German Broad
casts, July 29.-German troops
have thrown stubbornly resisting
Russians farther southwark on
the Lower Don front and, sup
ported by strong air forces, have

there and fairly large number put

Rostov is heap of smoking ruins
where the smell of death is heavy
where hungry Russian civilians are
scavenging for food, and where
tattered signs still read death to
the German occupation troops,
Robert Broese, Nazi reporter, said
last night in dispatch dated at
that once f1ourishing Caucasian port
Broese's report as broadcast by
the Berlin radio said:
THE city had been turned into
one gigantic system of small fort
resses. Barricades were erected at
nearly all street crossings. Some
OF these were built with bricks
Then there were small pill boxes
for machine guns, and even regular
walls were built as high as a man
leaving only small opening for
street traffic.
Machine gun nests were installed
in cellars and in different stories OF
buildings, slogans were painted in
glaring colors on the walls OF
houses. One still reads death tc

sistance during the winter months

man troops fought in the city for
four days. (The Russians said they
evacuated the city July 27D

burned out-the devastating effect

Service Breaks Law
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The fol-
lowing statement of the Board OF Di-
rectors OF the Associated Press was
issued by President Robert Mclean
today in connection with the Gov
ernment's antitrust complaint
The Associated Press mas invaded
the lawful rights Of no one in the
great and unsurpassed service that it
has rendered to the reading public
for the last AZ years. What is charged
against 1t is no more, at bottom, than
this: That it seeks to protect its
members who have invested their
skill, their work and their money in
its growth.
The Associated Press will resist
the present proceedings as without
merit in either law or fact.
Cooperative News Organiza ton.
The Associated Press in its present
form was incorporated in New York
on May %, 1900 1t is co-opera-
tive news organization conducted
without profit for it's member news
papers. This means that each
member Is obligated to serve the
news that it gathers in its local COM
munity to all other members out
side OF its community and when it
does so adequately it fulfills its
obligation to the other members Of
the Associated Press. The member
ship of the Associated Press includes
newspapers Of all classes and types.
1t has no barriers of politics or faith
or color. 1t is this cooperative
ownership which guarantees fair
and accurate news service to the
citizens of this country.
When the Associated Press was
organized in 1900, as the successor
to long series of other press as
socia tions of the same name, some
of them true co-operatives, but
others devoted to private profit, the
Sherman Act, under which these
proceedings are taken, was already
10 years old.
U. S. Newspapers Faced Menace.
There was no hint at that time
that the charter granted by the
State of New York was in conflict
with the terms or intent of the act,
which had been passed in 1890, as
every one knows, to abate and pre-
vent monopolies or combinations in
restraint of trade.

Hershey Foresees
New Draft Actto
Speed Mobilization
Says Things Are Moving
So Fast We Moy Have to
Operate Aheod of~Rules
Earlier Story on Pase.A-1.)


~ Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
said today the Selective Service
Act may have to be amended to
permit speedier Army n1obiliza-
ton.
II can't say that every able-bodied
man will be in the Army, but things
are moving so fast we may have to
operate ahead of our own rules he
told delegates to the National Insti-
tute on Education and the War this
afternoon at American University.
IT wish were at liberty to disclose
the size in numbers we are now
mobilizing."
Gen. Hershey could give no as
surance that men teachers will con-
tinue to receive draft tieferment In
classes IA and 2-B, but reminded
his audience that the supply of reg 4
istrants in Ia is small. II have no
idea what will happen to teachers
In the next school term" he said,
indicating teachers would have to
defend their deferment on grounds
Of occupational necessity.
Discussing the drain on man.
power that aH-out war imposes,
Gen. Hershey remarked that, when
you are in lifeboat, it doesn't make
any difference what deck and state
1oom you once occupied"
The Selective Service director
said there are a number of men
employed in industrial plants whose
induction into the Army might be
demanded by the public but quickly
added, Il might be wrong"
Gen. Hershey, himself a former
public school teacher, admitted that
teachers make a definite contribu-
ton to the national health, secur-
ity and interest but indicated that
the question for local draft boards
to determine would be the extent of
his contribution when weighed
against that of other professions.
