ALLIES TO HITDAkAR,
 pARISSAYS
Broadcast Claims United Nations BIoekading
 Africa Port

LONDON, Sept. 26.-A Paris radio broadcast reports that the Allies are blockading Dakar" on the French West African coast and they will attack it soon."
 The Nazis have carried on an intensive propaganda campaign re- gently regarding alleged Allied ag- gression intentions on Dakar, but this is the first claim of any overt action.
 Axis reports that the Allies con- template attacking Dakar have been followed by other rumors that Ad- miral Darlan, Commander-in- chief of all Vichy French Armed forces held long conference with Gen. Nogues, Gov. General of Morocco
 The Algiers radio announced the meeting, but didn't mention where it occurred or what was discussed.
 The German radio simultaneously broadcast the announcement that Lieut.. Gen. Yoldihig, Commissioner of Spanish Morocco, is expected at Rabat in a few days to confer with Nogues.

RAF RAIDS NAzI OSLO
 QUARTERS
Daring Daylight Attackers Score His on 6es-
 fdpo Buildings

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Striking at the rising Axis dissension in Nor way and violent new anti-German outbreaks in Oslo, the Royal Air Force made a daring daylight as- sault on Nazi headquarters at Oslo yesterday and sent followers of Quisling's puppet regime scurrying to cover from a nearby rally.
 Four raiding British bombers swept low and dropped bombs from about 100 feet altitude and scored hits on the Gestapo Buildings, the Air Ministry announces.
 Quisling, who had summoned members of his party in Norway to rally in an effort to quell the discontent, denounced the raid be- fore his followers as one by "RAF murder planes" He said casual ties were four dead and 40 injured.
 Stockholm dispatches, meanwhile, reported another flight of 25 planes, believed to be British, swept Thurs day night across the Swedish west coast over what might well have been the region around Oslo.

 Food k "Beaufiful"

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 26 - American food is "beautiful,' says 21-year-o,d Heather Steele who arrived recently from Surre1, Eng land
 Miss Steele came here tC marry Noel Merritt, tobacco company au- ditor, whom she met two years ago while he was serving as an air raid warden in Southampton. She was member of the Womens Am bulance Defense Corps.
 Miss Steele's first. Atlantic cross ing was made in a convoy of ships, one of which was torpedoed by an enemy submarine. She could not decide which was the more mem orable experience-falling flat on the deck during the sheNing or a fiye-day round of seasickness.

The No. 2 men argue that Presi- dent Roosevelt showed supreme con- tempt for political dallying. He named names. He said that farm prices and wage controls had to be established. He said that war time taxes had to be levied. He gave Congress three weeks to get the job done. He served notice that if Congress delayed beyond Octo- Der 1, he would exercise his powers as chief wartime executive and do them himself.
 This solemn pledge to regulate farm prices and wages in less than five weeks before the national elec- tions, the No. 2 men continue, IS proof that the President is NOT in terested in politics. He has served notice, they say, on the powerful farm and labor blocs-just before election-that this is WAR; that he will play no favorites; that he will bring all of his great wartime powers to bear to see that Congress plays no favorites either; that only the future victory of our nation is on his conscience and he doesn't give two whoops in a voting booth how the voters cast their ballots.
 Those who argue Theorem No. get political glint in their eyes, rub their hands in gleeful apprecia- tion and shout, By the whiskers of Uncle Sam, he's done it again"
 What they see in the Presidents speech and message to Congress is something different:
 By issuing his ultimatum to Con-. gress and placing the deadline on October l, five weeks before elec- ton, he has given the farm and labor bloc boys in the Democratic ranks perfect out. He has taken

NATIONWIDE GAS RATION
 TO BE NEXT
Rubber Director Issues Di- reltive 10 Henderson
 for Move

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. = Rub- Der Director William Jeffers has issued a directive that the Office of Price Administration start a system of nation wide gasoline ra- tioning on the same basis as the coupon rationing system now en- forced in the IT Atlantic seaboard states.
 He left up to Price Administrator Leon Henderson the decision as to whether the rations will be based on four gallons weekly as provided in the east, or whether some other value will be set on the coupons.
 Pending inauguration of the ra- tioning program. the date for which has not yet been set, Jeffers ap- pealed to motorists to ration thefr own driving and cut speeds to 35 miles an hour.
 While the speed limit suggested is being enforced in Alaska, due to the small amount of gaso- line consumed in the Territory and the restricted use of vehicles brought about by rubber rationing, it is believed that gasoline rationing will not be enforced in Alaska at pres ent.

Soviets Gain Fresh Ground in Fighting df voIgd

Hitler WdrpIanes Called Off for Fear of Bomb
 ing Own Troops
(By Associated Press)

Victory edged further from Hit lers grasp today in the siege of Stalingrad as the Red Armies gained fresh ground northeast of the Volga River metropolis, crush ing 32 German counter attacks in 48 hours and recapturing strat- egic positions within the city itself.
 By Soviet account. it is the fourth consecutive day that the German assault has been stopped cold
 Naxis Fall Down
 Hitler's High Command, long ac- customed to proclaim the swift fall of city after city. now focused attention on the capture of single buildings and an official statement says:
 Tn the fight in Stalingrad. build ings belonging to the Communist Party, situated near the bank of the volga River, have been torn in embittered fighting with the Soviets Also. Soviet relief attacks against the northern barrier have been repelled."
 The German High Command says the Vichy Radio Broadcast, notor- iously unreliable. has said that the German shock troops have been driven through Stalingrad to the banks of the Volga lat several points, indicating their defeat in their purpose.
 Street Fighting
 Dispatches received by the Red Star the official newspaper of the Red Army. said the Germans are attempting to wear out the Soviet troops in fighting in street barri- cades, charred buildings, fox holes and damp earth, but the defenders show no faltering and are holding grimly and firmly as the tide of battle sways back and forth in street by street.
 Crawl over Dead
 The dispatches also said that that any local gains scored by the invaders are made by crawling across mountains of bodies and burned trucks"
 Warplanes Called Off
 German warnlanes are renortad switching attacks to the Volga River crossings where Soviet re- Inducements are coming up. The stoppage of dropping bombs on Stalingrad evidently is caused by the fear of dropping bombs on the confused battle scene lest they annihilate their own German troops.

REBUFFED RUSSIANS


 One barb Baruch leveled at Jones without mentioning names-was the fact that Jesse's Rubber Re- serve ignored the offer of the Rus sian Government to send experts and formulas regarding synthetic rubber. Baruch called this "inex- plicable administration" and said: Had the offer of the Soviet Government been accepted, it is conceivable that plants for produc- ing rubber mights well be on the way to completion"
 When the Washington Merry Go-Round on Aug. 13 reported ex- clusively that the Russians had of fered their rubber information to Jones men last February, but that they never even got the courtesy of 2 reply, the story. was denied.

The w ashingtun Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON.- people, even in the government, knew the back stage work that went into "Berny" Baruch's efficient, comprehensive rubber report. Inside fact is that it probably cost Baruch around $50,0O0 out of his own pocket.
 Few people know also that Baruch has maintained an office in Wash ington and corps of research people to do jobs like this for more than a year. His other jobs have not received publicity. But many times the President or some other high official will ask him to do an important job. And Baruch, without asking for clerks, steno- graphers, or research experts, goes out and does it, paying the bill himself.
 Almost no man in Washington has contributed more to the war, in his own quiet way, than Baruch.
 NOTE: Jesse Jones began shining up to Baruch even before "Berny" was publicly named as rubber chief. Despite this, the Baruch report is considered the most caustic criti- cism of public official ever issued in Washington. The only thing Baruch omitted was Jesse's name.
