Audley Moore, non partisan
campaign manager, thanking
all who had helped in the cam
paign, called DaviS'S election
"a real triumph in the fight
against prejudice and race dis
elimination, against red-bait-
ing and all forces which try
to create disunity among the
American people. ~.
This tremendous victory was
possible because the people put
aside all partisan politics,
erased all party lines and
united around a man who
stands for unity. The colored
and white people stand togeth-
err to smash Jim Grow in New
York City and elsewhere and
to sound the death knell of
fascism and all its ugly mani
festations."

BATTLE FOR DNIEPER IN FULL FURY
Beaverbrook Returns
To Downing Street
AS Lord Privy Seal

LONDON, Sept. 24.-(R- LORD
Beaverbrook, one of Russia's best
friends in Great Britain and an
outspoken advocate of a second
front" in western Europe, return
ed to Prime Minister Churchill's
cabinet tonight as lord privy seal
as Ten Downing street announced
a series of changes.
Beaverbrook, owner of the Lon
don Daily Express, held the min
istries of aircraft production, state,
and supply in 1910 and 1871. On
February, 1912, he was named
minister of war production, but
declined to enter the cabinet be-
cause of ill health. Oliver Lyttel-
ton then took the war production
post.
The new changes apparently
were caused by the death this
week of Sir Kingsley Wood, chan
cellor of the exchequer. Down
ing street announced the appoint
ment of Sir John Anderson to
succeed Wood and R. K. Law was
named minister of state.
The return to the cabinet of the
4-year-old Beaverbrook as lord
privy seal makes him available for
any special assignment. 1t was
said, however, he would not be
a member of the war cabinet.

LONDON. Saturday. Sept

gan today as the Russians

eastern bank and knocked at
the gates Of Smolensk in the
north and Kieve in the south,

German reports said the
Russians had tried to cross
the Dnieper only one mile
above Kiev where the Desna
joins the Dnieper but the So
Wet communique made no
mention of a crossing, nor an
attempt to cross.
The Soviet monitor, incor-
rectly transcribing a Moscow
broadcast of the communl-
que, first said the Dnieper
had been crossed in the Co
mel sector but later changed
it's version of the communl.
que to tell of a crossing OF
the Iput river, some 70 miles
east of the Dnieper.
Reds Are At River
Nevertheless, the Russians, &C
-eording to Moscow reports, were
already at the river in m n y
nlaces and the Germans them
selves mentioned an attempted So
Wet crossing below Gomel at a
point where the Pripet river en-
tiers the Dnieper.
In the fighting for Smolensk
the Soviets announced the capture
of Korelly, seven miles northeas'
of Hitler's former headquarters
and on the northwest they tight
ened another tentacle that m

Soviet guns at Borispol, II miles
to the southeast. The Russians hae
already swept through Lyeskl, Il

tacks but after losing over 4o(

man evacuation of all northwest
ern Russia.
But it is the peril to the middle
Dnieper line in the Bel Tserkov
region that deserves greater at
tention because of the effect a
fresh Nazi disaster there might
have on the situation in the Bal
kans and upon the European war
as whole. 1t can hardly be ques-
toned that Russian success in
preaching the Dnieper line at that
point, compelling a Nazi desper-
alton flight from the Dnieper pla-
teau, would touch-off smoulderlng
anti-Nazi fires in Rumania and
Bulgaria. It could leave Rumani-
ans in no doubt that Russian ar
mics soon would again be stand
ing on the Dniester and surglng
into Bessarabia.
The only Nazi hope of a slow
paced withdrawal from the half
encircled Dnieper plateau lies In
the fall rains. BY Moscow account
it took Herculean labors to get
men and guns through the clog
ging mud above the Dnieper for
the capture of Poltava and the
march on the vital Kremenchug
crossing below it. 1t will be weeks
before winter cold hardens n e

after a two-hour meeting OF the

tee announced plans to open hear
ings a week from Monday on a
new general revenue easure, and
said:
1T is extremely important that
the revenue bill be passed before
the end of this year to avoid re.
troactive taxation. The hearings
will be given over to the prob.
lens of raising additional revenue
needed to finance the war"
The Administration has suggest
ed that 1000, 5000 is needed.
in addition to the $4,000, 1000, 00(
now being collected annually.
However, Reps. Knutson Or
Mimi and Carlson R-Kans), both
Ways and Means members, ex.
pressed doubt that anything like
$12 1000, 100000 more can be raised
without undue hardship.
Knutson said Il am frank tc
say that I do not see how we can
hope to increase taxes much
more" and Carlson agreed, say
ing, Il don't think taxes can be
much higher"
What paths the search for new
revenue might take remain q
mystery, since both the Treasury
and the tax staff employed by
Congress declined to give any OF.

speculate with any certainty or
how the Individual taxpayer will

a strong move developed with

Without mentioning either the

The Nazi flight to the Dnieper
before the amazing Russian sum-
mer offensive is an accomplished
fact along most of the 8O0-mile
front from Orsha to the sea-and
even that defense line is creaklng
at critical points.
South of besieged Kiev, r d
army guns are already lobbing
shells across the wide stream less
than so miles from Bel Tserkov,
thu gateway between the Dnieper
and the Bug through which the
Nazi hordes poured in August,
1941, to overrun the great Dniper
plateau. Through the town runs
the main railway south of tn e
Dnieper to the Dnepropetrovsk
crossing and the Rostov corner on
the Don. 1t is the main supply
and escape route for all German
forces in the Dnieper elbow or
south of it and in the Crimea.
A Russian lunge eros S the
Dnieper to Bel IserkoV Woulo
threaten the whole southern wing
of the Nazi army with entrapment.
It is a fair conclusion that Nazi
evacuation of the Crimean PENN
sula and of the whole Dnieper pla-
teau is already in progress to es-
cape a supreme military disaster.
Northward up tn Dnieper,
where both the Smolensk bastion
and the Vitebsk gateway fortress
are tottering under mighty Rus
sian blows, the Nazi situation is
no less critical. The Red army
surge is promising to unhinge the
whole enemy front west Of Len
ingrad to the Baltic and force Ger
