FDR ENVOY SHOWS
MUCH CONFIDENCE

Of them had come out of action
lust a few hours before Willkle ar
lived.
"I found them feeling fine and
full of pep, but none of them pre-
tended he would not rather be
home than out in this desert, !"
Willkie said.
He also visited British, Austral-
ian, South African, New Zealand
and Indian units.
Willkie said it was significant
that German columns which drove
eastward last week found the ac-
tual and potential strength OF the
defenders too great, and turned
back.
In the course of the trips Willkie
saw the wrcckage of German tanks
and trucks knocked out by British
and American tank crews.
He manifested great interest IN
American war equipment, and
spoke with many crews which had
used U. S. tanks in battle, and who
were in a position to compare
their performance with British and
German machines.
After speaking to war CORE
spondents in a tent Willkie left to
visit American fighter and bomber
pilots who have been in action over
the desert.
The desert, .Willkie observed, is
not as unpleasant as he had beer
led to believe, but he slapped at
flies briskly and conceded they
we're annoying. He saw the desert
at it's best. The weather was clear,
crisp, even cool, and there were
no dust storms.

firm a claim of the German high
command that Novorossisk had
been occupied by German forces.)
In the Mozdok area, where the
Germans have driven a long slen-
der wedge along the Caucasus rail
way toward the oil fields of Groz-
ny, the Germans apparently made
slight gains. The Soviet conmuni-
que mentioned that a group of enc

an unidentified river, but said the
tanks were met by artillery fire. -
The Russians disclosed that the
German air force, apparently at
tempting reprisals for Soviet raids
on Germany and Nazi-occupied ter
ritory, had tried unsuccessfully to
attack Moscow Saturday. Seventy
German planes, in three groups,
reached the far approaches of the
capital, the connmunique said, but
were dispersed by Russian fighters
and forced to turn back. One
German machine and one Russian
we're shot down.
The high command also announc-
ed that Russian warships had de-
stroyed German transport ship
in the Baltic sea and that dive
bombers of the Black Sea fleet
had destroyed three German pa
troll boats.
Meanwhile, the Germans, unable
to advance on Stalingrad, threw
handpicked mountain troops into
a new campaign far to the south
for vital passes winding through
forbidding peaks of the Caucasus
to Baku's oil fields.

(The German Sunday commune

sThe weight of public opinion

DEMAND IS GREAT
FOR U.S.. WORKERS
Must Work As Never Be.
fore To Defend Free
dom From Axis

WEIRTON, W. Va, Sept. 6-LR
The great need for all American
production soldiers to work as
never before to defend their free
dom-loving nation from the Axis
was poignantly dramatized here
last night in a colorful pageant
billed as the larger Labor Day OBJ
servance of its kind.
The pageant, entitled Attack
The American philosophy of war
was presented by the employees of
the Weirton Steel Company in the
high school stadium of this tenn
ing industrial community which 33
years ago was only valley farm
land near the placid Ohio River
Labor Day celebrations of this
type were begun here nine years
ago to unity the feelings of the AZ
nationalities represented in the
town and the steel mill, its prin-
cipal industry.
The cast comprised 900 towns
folk, plus a few professional stage
stars and contingent of 240 Of
ficers and men from Fort Meade,
Md. The background scene on
the 196-foot-long stage represented
a steel mill, with blast furnace and
smokestacks. This was embellished
by smoke and flare from the real
steel mills a short distance away
and in view of the audience of
5000.
The story was simple. A young
man, typical of the mills 1850 en-
ployes in the armed forces, leaves
his steel job to join the Army, feel
ing he must fight at the front.
He goes about his home town to
say goodbye to close friends, in
cluding his boss, school teacher
parents and the local newspaper
editor, who tell him why Amerl-
cans are fighting today.
Their words are then dramatlzed
on an extensive scale, with his
torical scenes stretching from the
Revolutionary War up to the pres
ent-Hitle-'s soldiers machlne-gun-
ming and enslaving the civilians
of Europe.
Edward Trevor plays the male
lead, and Florence Reed of "Shang-
hal GESTURE fame, his mother.
Henry Hull, the ''Jeeter Jester OF
"Tobacco Road" is the narrator.
A burly steelworker succinctly
gives the young soldier his ideas
of the war in declaring:
"We must work and fight like hell
in this war to end all war"
The three-hour pageant will be
repeated tomorrow night. The two
performances were arranged to ac-
commodate all mill employees, as
there is no slackeaing Of Industrial
operations over the holiday period.
