PHOENIXVILLE, Pa, July 10.
Government officials paid trib-
ute to the oil industry for a ire
mendous job we'll done at the
opening of the Big Inch pipeline
today, but warned that it was
primarily military facility and
not intended to provide gasoline
for pleasure driving.
Secretary of Commerce Jones in a
message read for him by Chairman
C. B. Henderson of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp, said.
Those who have done this job
have fought every inch of the way
to get the line built in the shortest
possible time. Almost every
foot of the 1475 miles had to be
done the hard way. but that is the
way in which the oil industry is &C
customed to work"
Mr. Jones, whose RFC financed the
$10O O,000,O0 job, was prevented by
laryngitis from attending the open
ing in person.
Military Needs Stressed.
Secretary of the Interior 1ckes,
petroleum administrator for war,
emphasized the vastness of military
Gil requirements and reiterated his
opposition to use of gasoline for
pleasure driving.
Let us not, in the knowledge
that the Big Inch is ready to flow
new quantities of oil into the East,
plead for an increase in pleasure
driving at the expense Of an in
crease in the power of our attack, y
he said.
Our conveniences and petty COM
forts are expendable The oil short
age that you and I know as indi-
viduals is positive factor in the
strength of our fighting men. -
I'VE can thus have but one goal
to produce and deliver more and
more-in the savage hope that all
OF the oil that. we can provide will
be enough"
Realizing that the pipeline lob
| would be tough, Mr.. Jones said, the
Raj turned to the oil industry to
do It," through Oil Emergency Pipe
lines, Inc, organized by major oil
companies to build the line and
operate it.
Every pipeline contractor in the
United States with equipment heavy
enough to handle the size pipe en-
ployed was called in for some part
of the work, Mr.. Jones said. and

LONDON, July 19.-Russian
tanks were reported today in
Moscow dispatches to be probing
the approaches to Orel, while
Red artillery was wheeled up
within range of the big German
base on the central front. The
nearest Soviet spearhead was
said to be II miles away.
Berlin reported the entire Russian
front ablaZe in heavy Russian at
tacks from Leningrad to Novorossisk
in the Western Caucasus with the
most intense action along 255 miles
between Belgorod and Sukhinichi.
The first Russian summer Of
fensive pressed ever closer to Orel
from three sides across rolling and
soggy fields, Moscow dispatches said,
as the Russian phase of the battle
went into its second week. The Ger
mans were pouring reinforcements
into the threatened Orel bulge in
the Russian lines.
Hit From Two Directions.
Russian columns were driving be-
hind the bulge from the north and
south in an effort to bag the great
base and its thousands of enemy
troops. Other armies were pounding
In frontally from the east.
Opposing claims Of casualties were
staggering. Since the violent sum-
mer battles started July S with an
abortive German offensive to erase
a 7,500-square- mile salient jutting
from Kursk the Russians say they
have destroyed upward of $4,000
Germans, 3,444 tanks and 1897
planes.
The German radio outcounted
the Russians in materiel losses,
however, asserting the Soviets had
lost 1864 tanks, more than 1000
planes, 2,310 cannon and $500 heavy
machine guns.
All the German accounts were
from Radio Berlin and recorded by
SAlC 6AooOS1dCC0 lCSS.
Attack Near Leningrad.
The German communique said
severe Russian attacks had been re-
PEELED in the entire Orel region;
north of Belgorod where the Ndais
scored their lone success in their
offensive; on the Mus River outside
Taganrog on the Black Sea west of
Rostov; in the Kuban near Novoros-
sisk, and along the lower Donets
River.
Unofficial Berlin propaganda
agencies said the Russians were at
tacking violently in the Velikie Luki
sector 260 miles northwest of Mes
COW and 90 miles short of the Lat
Wan frontier, and along the Ncva
River near Leningrad.
The official Moscow newspaper
Pravda said the Red Army was on
the approaches of Orel, 200 miles
south OF the capital. The last Rus
sian communique reported another
four-mile advance and frontline
dispatches translated this into
meaning the Russians were but u
miles from the city.
The attacks on Orel threatened
another German base at Bryansk.
too. The Red column charging down
from the north was cutting into the
German rear and was last reported
10 miles from the Orel-Bryansk
railway and within 5n yo;Iee -

A mountainous" pile of old clothing now assembled at the old Chief Two Moon building as result of the recent campaign has result ed in the urgent need of 100 addi- tional volunteers for today and to- morrow to aid in sorting, Mrs. Mark Sperry, civilian defense volunteer director announced today.
 Hopeful of clearing the accumu- lated pile by this Saturday, Mrs. Sperry, stated today that the dry cleaning establishments last night begun to take away some of the old clothes for reconditioning.
 Commenting the 'efforts of To- cal residents who so magnificently contributed to the success of the recent drive, salvage officials today urged furtherance of all-out aid on the part of Waterburians to help finish the task that now faces all campaign workers.
 People with old-clothes yet un- donated are requested to bring them to the Chief TWo-Moon building at 1884 East Main street, instead of to any of the fire-houses used during the specified campaign period.
 Volunteers eager to help complete the task of sorting and bundling the collection preparatory to Its being forwarded for subsequent shipment to the people of war stricken coun- tries, are requested to call Civilian Defense Headquarters at 4-O9O9 or the Two-Moon building.

DA644CNA bJ VAANAA OAASN eNAASA the U. s. Government some years ago, When the treaty alibi was ex- ploded the Indians collected their bank deposits and returned "home".
 Board 15-A is credited with six delinquents; Board 15-B with 8; and Board 16-B with 4. Several of these are names of men who registered here and later moved to other cities without leaving their forwarding addresses. Few are native Water burians.
 Announcement of the fact that the names of 478 Connecticut regis trants have been submitted for general roundup" was made today by Lieutenant Commander John F. Robinson, director of Selective Serv- ice. His statement follows:
 These delinquents, all between the ages of 18 and 45 have been classi- fled or reclassified into IA, subject to immediate military service. Those apprehended between the ages of 18 and 38, Commander Robinson said, face immediate induction regardless of their order number, dependency or occupational skill. They will be issued an order to report for in- duction by their respective Local Boards on the date of the next call of the Board. The order to report will be mailed to the last known address of the registrant. Failure to report will result in the files being turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 Delinquents aged 38 to 45, al- though placed in Class IA as avail able for immediate military service, will receive an order to report for induction only if the Local Board determines the delinquency viola ton is of sufficient importance to warrant that step and if the armed forces have need for their services. Otherwise they may be reported to the District Attorney for apprhen- sion and prosecution.
 A delinquent" Commander Rob- inson declared, may be so classified If he fails to keep his Local Board informed of circumstances that may materially affect information con- tained in a registrant's question naire, or, under the Selective Serv- ice Act, if he comes specifically with in any of the following categories:
 Failure to return queStionnaire.
 Failure to return aliens personal history statement.
 Failure to appear for physical ex- animation.
 Failure to appear for Class 4-E Conscientious objector) physical examination.
 Failure to report for work of na- tional importance.
 Failure to report for induction.
 Failure to register.
 With the continuing needs of manpower in the armed forces" Commander Robinson said, every effort will be made to make avail able promptly for service, or for prosecution, every person acceptable to the armed forces who knowingly is a delinquent. In fairness to the men already in service and to men, including fathers, who are about to be inducted, plus the manpower needs of war production and the general deferment of registrants en- gagged in agriculture, it is impera- tive that Selective Service delin- quents be handled with dispatch.
