the United States Navy was re-
born today with the launching
of the aircraft carrier Hornet
amid cheers of spectators who a
moment later heard Secretary OF

Last years bombing OF the Rising

Encirclement

LONDON, Aug. 80. - Premier
Stain announced the capture OF
Taganrog, the Germans south
ern anchor Of the 1,500-mile Rus
sian front, today In a special
order of the day.
The Germans earlier today adj
mitted evacuation OF the city.
Stain said the capture was the
result of fierce engagement In
which the Russians routed the Nazis.
The Germans said the town was
evacuated after they had destroyed
the town and harbor installations
The capture of Taganrog indicate
ed the Nazis' entire southern front
positions were crumbling.
Stain, whose order Of the day was
broadcast by the Moscow radio and
recorded by the Associated Press,
said the new victory was achieved
as result OF a bold maneuver by
Soviet cavalry and mechanical
formations which broke through to
the rear Of the enemy troops.
Stalino May Fall.
With the fall of this important
Sea Of Azov port to the Red Army,
the capture Of Stalino, Hitler's
southern front headquarters 10
miles to the northwest, may follow
soon.
Taganrog, the Germans said In
their daily high command conn
munique, was evacuated according
to plan after being completely de-
stroyed." 1t was another of the So
called Strategic Withdrawals"
which German propagandists have
been at pains to color as Nazi tri.
umphs.
The fall of Taganrog came as q
surprise, since there had been no
reports Of heavy fighting in this
region recently from either Moscow
or Berlin, but the position of the
city had been obviously imperileci

railway station of Donetsko-Amvro-

Tentative Order
Lifts Riding Ban
Wednesday
OPA Directive Sent
To Field Offices Is
Still Unofficial
~ the Associated Press.

0S tuc AsroCldtcu fIeSS.
A tentative order to lift the
ban on Eastern pleasure driving
Wednesday has been sent to field
Offices of the Office of Price Ad-
nninistration.
The order has no official status
yet, although OPA has given every
indication that 1t was working to
free Eastern motorists of the no.
pleasure driving restriction either
by September ! or next week end.
Chester Bowles, general manager
of OPA, said three weeks ago the
agency hoped to nberalize Eastern
gasoline restrictions early in Sep
tember. Secretary OF the Interior
Ickes reported last week, however,
the area was oyerdrawing its daily
gasoline allowance, endangering its
chances for rations equal to the rest
of the country.
Soldiers, Boats Get Gas.
On Friday, however. oPA an
nounced it would remove restrictions
from East Coast pleasure boating
and would give servicemen furlough
gasoline, an indication that the
pleasure driving ban was on the way
out.
The tentative order lifting it We'd
nesday was sent to field Offices so
they could be ready for instant
action removing the restriction. 1t
will not take effect, however, until
definite word comes from OPA head
quarters here
Hopes for bigger allotment for
Eastern motorists September were

Harrison, chief Of the gasoline ra-
tioning section of the ONCE Of Price
Administration, who declared that

fare no better In the matter of an

Stocks In East Low.
Mr.. Harrison explained in

work that gas stocks in the East
are low and have been declining
in the past four weeks.
The motor fuel rationing director
added that while bigger allotment
is still planned, sit may take weeks
it may even be months
He said the two-week- cut from
four to three gallons per ration
coupon in the Middle West and the
Southwest was saving $4,000 barrels
of fuel a day and 4as the decrease
of gas consumption in those States
