This historic speech was only q

War Will Curtail
Sporting Events

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20 CUP) =
Under-Secretary of War Robert P.
Patterson warned today that sport
ing events which entail long dis
tance travel by a large number of
spectators must eventually be curb
ed because Of the strain they place
ON the nations transportation sys-
TEN.
THE whole problem revolves
around the question of transporta-
ton and is now under the study of
Joseph b. Eastman, director of the
office of defense transportation"
Patterson said.
Patterson added, however, that
he did not think the pending re-
strictions would apply to baseball
because the spectators of this sport
do not have to travel very far"

AS Russians Fall Back

MOSCOW. Aug. 2G-tUP) - The
Russians announced today that
they had been forced farther south
of fallen Krasnodar by masses of
German tanks and infantry pene-
trating dangerously close TO Novo-
rossisk. the best remaining Soviet
naval base on the Black Sea.
1t was the first time the Ger
mans had forced the Don around
Kletskaya and reached the east
ern bank in weeks of bitter fight
ing. Although those who got across
were destroyed, it was likely that
the Germans held a strip along
the west bank, from which they
could try future crossings.
ATTACK REFUSED
Front-lne dispatches said the
Russians were holding the Germans
everywhere southeast of Kletskaya
and northeast of Kotelnikovski. The
army newspaper Red Star said that
every German tank and infantry
attack southeast of KletSkaya had
been repulsed and the Germans
thrown back to their original po-
sitions.
With the occupation of Krasno-
dar, the Germans gained control
of almost the entire northern bank
of the Kuban river.
The Soviet noon communique
indicated, however, that Russian
forces We're holding on all other
fronts. and reported the destruction
of 50 German tanks and the killing
of S,400 more Germans in addition
