DANE RESISTANCE RuTHLESSLY CRuSHED D Russians Crack SmoIensk, Take YeInya
CITY CALLED
 IMPORTANT
 TRAIN CENTER

London, August 31.-UPN Marshal Josef V. Stalin, in an order of the day, an- nounced today that Russian forces had cracked the Ger man defenses before Smo- lensk and had captured Yel- nya, important communica~ tions center 45 miles to tha southeast.
 The capture of Yelnya ap- parently represented an ex- tension and intensification of the Red Army offensive in the Spas Demensk area a11- nounced several days ago. Yelnya is 40 miles northwest of Spas Demensk.
 First Reports
 First reports did not disclose tho direction the Soviet thrust was tak- ing. If it were aimed southwest ward 1t might mean an attempt to flank Smolensk with the object OF collapsing the German defenses on the entire central front.
 Stalins order said that the So- viets had broken through a strongly fortified Axis line yesterday to cap- ture the rail and road operationaI junction which he described as "theI most important center of defens0t in the Smolensk direction"
 The Russian capture of YelnyA was believed here to represent an advance of some 28 miles from tho last established forward positions East of Smolensk, hub of the Na1 defenses to the southwest of Mos- COW. q
 To Celebrate Victory
 Stalin's order revealed that the! 29th guards regiment, the 18th tank brigade, the 76th infantry division. the 23rd guards independent tank, brigade and the 18th independent' tank regiment which distinguished themselves in the fighting had been named the "Yelnya units.'
 He announced that 12 artillery SalVOeS Dy 1If guns WOulu CclcUI dCc the Yelnya victory at Moscow.
 The victory was announced 2& hours after Stalin had proclaimed another great Red army triumph the capture of Taganrog which had anchored the southern end of the German defense line on the sea of Azov.
 Stalin's order was broadcast by the Moscow radio, over which the boon-' ing of the guns could be heard.
 The order ended with the words: eternal glory to the heroes who fell in fighting for the freedom and, honor of our motherland. Death to. the German invaders!"
 Yelnya is on the main railroad line from Smolensk to Sukhinichi.

REPORTS SAY HUNDREDS ARE

 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Stockholm, Aug. 31- (UP) = Nazi occupation forces, seeking ruthlessly to crush resistance in Den mark, were reported today to have killed hundreds of Danish soldiers and to have arrested trade union leaders.
 The Danish press service reported the arrest of la- Dor leaders and Swedish observers believed that the action was designed to break the strong Danish labor organizations in or der to prevent strikes and other disturbances af- fecting war production.
 It was recalled that the Germans had arrested Norwegian trade union members in the fall of 1941 and had executed some leaders.
 The Nazis were reported to have taken over all police sta- tlons in Copenhagen and to have stationed guards at main railway stations.
 At Svendborg alone, 45O Danish civilians and soldiers fell dead and wounded before German guns, a Danish refu- gee said. The Danish garri- son at Jaegorsborg, six miles from Copenhagen, turned machine guns on German

Berlin Radio Reports Small British Lending

By P. EDWARD MURRAY

Oultcu ITcSS, StdAl NOEECSpOHlUCHt
 London, Aug. 31. (UP)-The Ger man radio reported today that about 400 British troops landed Sunday on the toe of Italy in what was described as probable pre- liminary to major invasion, but official London quarters had no comment on the report.
 Berlin broadcast an official DNB News Agency dispatch giving a sketchy account of the reported amphibious thrust against the Italian mainland. It admitted that "a few'' of the landing force still had not been captured.
 Unofficial but competent quar- ters here said it would not be sur prising if a small commando-type raid had been made with view to obtaining information on the Italian defenses of the territory across the Messina straits from Allied-held Sicily.
 Berlin said the British force land- ed from warships southeast of Reg gio Calabria. The Nazis contradicted their own claim of immediate an- nihiliation" with an acknowledge ment that two days later some of the force still was at large.
 London quarters recalled that a number of commando like raids had been made on various axis-con- trolled coasts over many months, some of them reported only by the enemy.
 German mention of communica- tions equipment carried by the land ing party suggested the possibility that the expedition might have been designed to contact Allied sympathizers in Italy and provide them with equipment for com municating with the Allies. The Nazi acknowledgement that some" of the men went into the moun-

Unrestricted Pleasure Drifting StiH Not Okay
NEA Telephoto.
By EULALIE MCDOWELL Limited Press Staff Corresponden)

Limited Press Staff CorrespondenD Washington, Aug. 31-(UP)-The ban on pleasure driving in the east ern shortage area will be lifted at midnight tonight and the patri- otism of motorists will be depended upon thereafter to limit driving to essential needs.
 There will be no increase in the value of ration coupons in the cur tailment area. In fact, the joint an- nouncement by the Office of Price Administration and the Pe- troleum Administration for War said:
 This action should not be in terpreted as meaning that there is an increased supply of gasoline available for. civilians. It should be realized that> unrestricted pleasure driving is out as long as gasoline is needed for our fighting forces"
 Lifting of the pleasure ban was, in effect, a restoration of the old "honor system" which Price Admin istrator Prentiss M Brown inaugu- rated soon after taking office and which proved a failure. Price off, cials long have recognized the fu- tility of such a system so long as motorists with B and c cards have extra gasoline.
 Drive to Cut Rati0ns
 But Brown and Petroleum Admin istrator Harold L. Ickes announced last night that the energy and en- forcement effort which has been used in connection with the pleas sure driving ban now would be turned to vigorous prosecution of those who engage and participate in black-market gasoline. There have been unofficial hints that OPA also plans an intensive drive to cut B and c rations to the bone. Brown has expressed the hope that basic A rations in the east

BLAME FREIGHT TRAIN FOR 27
 DEATH WRECK

Wayland, N. Y, August 31. - (UP) = Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western Railroad officials today blamed the wreck of it's New York-Buffa- 10 Limited, which killed 27 and injured 60 to 75 persons, on the crew of a freight loco- motive (which for some rea- son" entered into the main line despite signals to the contrary.
 Although the cause of the accident was known, Lacka- wanna officials said, "the reason would not be known until a formal investigation has been completed"
 There was no question Of sabotage, a spokesman said.
 Twenty-six passengers and F. H.. Meincke, the railroads superintend- ent of locomotive operations were killed, and 16 of these were still unidentified. The injured numbered 60 to 75, 16 of whom were still in hospitals.
 State Investigation
 In addition to the company's own investigation, which was announced in New York City, the State Public Service Commission in Albany ord cred an investigation which will be conducted in collaboration with the Interstate Commerce Commission. The crew of the limited locomotive, which survived the crash though both engineer and fireman were in- jured, the crew of the interfering freight locomotive, neither of whom were injured, and the railroads di- visional superintendent will be sub penaed to a hearing, date and place for which had not yet been set. -ss.l.:..-s.-~ .-~-- -t-- --.---------, Five passengers killed were mem- bers of a party of 16 city women from the U. s.

Campaign OF
Leasing Spreads
Over Monton0

The great leasing campaign which
opened in northern Montana where the
Carter Oil Co and The Texas Co. have
taken over 100000 acres OF new leases,
is spreading to other parts Of the state.
Lease parties are ranging central and
southern Montana, taking leases on
known structures whore pioneers drilled
to the Cat Creek sands and there aban.
doned the tests. Whereas the Cat Creek
sands are not recognized as a probable
producing horizon in most of Montana,
the early-day tests were considered
adequate to condemn" many well de-
fined structures
Leases covering 100000 acres or more
have been taken in Musselshell and
adjacent counties, covering such struc-
lures at Big Wall, IngOmar and Gage
structure in Twp. ON, Range 26E. An
other large area in the northeast cor
ner Of Yellowstone county, with a block
totaling 10000 acres, has been leased
up. 1t is reported that the Carter Oil Co.
has negotiated deal with the Northern
Pacific Railway company, which owns
every other section in much of this
area, for prospecting rights on the vast
railway grant lands. Also, considerable
tax little land has been purchased from
the counties.
Drilling contractors report that they
are being offered many drilling con
tracts, and one contractor estimated
that there are now at least 90 wildcat

Administrator D0vies
Gives Go-Aheud
To Kelvin Drillers

to the Journals Open Letter and sub
sequent personal letter to Administra-
tor Davies. His reply follows:
Mr. o. l. Deschon, Publisher,
Montana Oil Journal,
Great Falls, Montana.
My Dear Mr.. Deschon:
I have your letter of February q
and the attached clipping from the
Montana Oil and Mining Journal rela-
tive to the development of Montana
oil fields
This office recognizes the need for
increased development activities in the
Rocky Mountain Area. Furthermore, it
has been the opinion of the Petroleum
Administration for War that a relaxa-
ton Of the spacing requirements of
Conservation Order Mss is advisable
for many Of the fields there, and such
relaxatiOns have been made on the
basis of information submitted by To-
cal operators.
In the instance of Kevin-Sunburst
the request for additional information
was made for the purpose of determin-
ing the spacing regulations for the
field that would make the greatest
contribution to the War. Since the
QUESTIONABLE was sent out sufficient
information has been obtained to
justify a relaxation to 10-acre spacing.
Such a relaxation has been recon-
mended to the War Production Board.
Your suggestion that the Petroleum
Administration for War should work
more closely and directly with the
Montana operators is welcomed. Our
District Four Office is being advised
Of your specific suggestions. There will
be man in that office available at
all times to meet with local operators
and discuss our common problems
The cooperation that the Montana
operators have given this office in the
past and the promise of continued
cooperation which is given in your open
letter t. the Petroleum Administrator
are deeply appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph K. Davies,
Deputy Petroleum Administrator.

In conjunction with announcement
of government spacing rules in Can
adam oil fields it has been learned
that Imperial Oil Co. is beginning an
intensive search for more production
within 50-mile radius Of Fort Nor
man Oil field, near the Arctic circle.
The field produced 1881 Dbl of oil
during the year 1912 but a larger po.
tential output is claimed, since the
only market was small refinery built
by Imperial to furnish aviation gaso-
line and motor boat fuel. That plant
had a capacity of 800 bbl. per day but
has been stepped up to a capacity Of
500 Dbl
Upon the results of the present drill
ing campaign will depend the amount
of crude available for transportation
through the proposed new pipeline,
originally scheduled to be built from
Fort Norman to White Horse, Yukon
territory, at rail head on the Pacific
coast side. Construction of a refinery
at White Horse, to utilize the Fort
Norman crude, is proposed, following
the route of the new road from Fort
Norman to Notikewin on Peace River.
Fort Norman production is from the
Devonian, at shallow depth. There is
lack of structural conditions and
the producing strata is not at all reg
ular. However, the existence of a large
amount of oil in the Devonian is es-
tablished by the multitude of seeps
throughout the area, especially along
the Mackenzie river.
