10000 U. 5. PLANES SENT
 TO RUSSIANS
Over Half of Amerildn. built Aircraft Blown
 Over Alaska Route

EDMONTON, Alberta, Aug. l, Passed by censor of Canadian Press) Approximately 10000 United States built planes have been sent to Russia from the United States since the start of the Soviet aid policy in October, l94l, it was learned from United States military sources here.
 About half the number has been flown via Edmonton, Alaska, and Siberia. It was learned, also, that more than 2,200 have gone to the Russian fighting fronts over this route in the. first four months Of this year.
 Planes were flown from Great Falls, Montana, to Fairbanks by United States ferry pilots and there taken ovei by Russian pilots and flown to Nome and over the water to Siberia.
 The remaining part of the route lis still shrouded in secrecy. The route is termed the main aerial path from North America to the Far East and the back door to the Russian fighting front.
 The Great Falls-Fairbanks leg alone covers 1900 miles. The route was opened shortly after the Japs hit Pearl Harbor and has reached the point where the movement of fighters, bombers and freight craft are like parade of aircraft tied together in miles long cord.
 Although none have been seen here, Russian women pilots have played a prominent part in taking front-line planes over the wastes of North America and Siberia.

MOSCOW, Aug. 1.--Driving in from three directions under hun- dreds of ed-starred planes. Russian and Polish troops attacked Praga, industrial suburb of Warsaw across the Vistula River, east of Warsaw.
 Marshal Rokossovsky, himself of Polish descent. is personally direct ing the Red Army's mammoth as- sault on the metropolitan area of the capital city. and one of the greatest artillery preparations of the entire eastern front has started to rip the German entrenchments at the edge of Praga.
 Dispatches indicate the battle of Warsaw will be fiercely prolonged as the German Command is under Hitler's orders to stand without re- treat.
 The assault on Warsaw virtually matched importance by the three pronged Red Army drive against the East Prussia sector which is now l43 miles wide.
 Gen. Cherniakhovsky' Command has approached within II 118 miles of East Prussia proper.
 Tn neither direction beyond War; saw or toward East Prussia can the German Army give any further ground without imperilling the whole structure of the Reich's east ern defense. but on both these fronts the numerically superior Red Army is forcing Hitler to scrape up all reserves.
 The latest communique announce cd by the Russians is that the Red Army overran 2l42 localities yes- terday. a record in the Soviet sum- mer offensive.

 Manuel Quezon said that and no one ever doubted that he meant it. it.
 Brilliant sunshine flooded parts of his native Luzon on the morn- ing of Feb. 2O 1942, but not in his heart. The Japanese invader had come and he must leave.
 He boarded a United States sub marine that day, and with a heavy heart began a voyage that event. ually took him to an America he once detested.

 An Unwilling Refugee
 And so the once dapper, mag netic President of the Philippines, his luxurious yacht no longer riding in Manila Bay, was an unwilling refugee. A new chapter in his life was about to unfold. What the future held for him none could say When he arrived at Washington some weeks later, he said:
 T want you to understand that my present sojourn in the United States was not planned or con- templated by me"
 The unhappy exile explained that in December, 1941, shortly after the Japs struck, to plunge America in the second world war, General

WASHINGTON, Aug. Lone of the greatest November unknowns is the worker vote.
 Let me make it clear that am talking about the worker" vote, not the organized labor vote. If the latter follows the advice and urging of it's leaders, the Demo- crats are right in anticipating the bulk of it for President Roosevelt.
 The CIO Political Action Com mittee has an all-out endorsement of the Presidents fourth term writ ten all over the record. It is said here that 75 per cent of the AZ of L unions have endorsed the Presi- dent, and William Green, AF of L President, is reported to have esti- mated privately that 80 to 85 per cent of his unions vote will go to Roosevelt. The only major out spoken independent union opposit- ion comes from John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, but to what extent UNIV votes will fol- low Lewis lead is problematical.
 However, organized labor accounts for only 13,000,000 and there are around 30,00O,0o0 additional non- agricultural workers in the country. The great migrations have affected them just as much as organized labor. Hundreds of thousands are working in Texas and California and other new industrial areas, to which they were complete strangers a few years ago.
 To what extent these have reg istered in their new home states and how their votes will change the political complexion of those states is largely guess-w work now and nothing else.
 CLOS PAC is credited with suc- cess in a number of states and congressional districts-in Oregon, California, Massachusetts, Alabama and Texas. They have had set- backs in others.
 The committee itself has made public no claims whatever, con- tending that it's sole objective is to get out the worker vote In this, in some sections, they have made great strides. Tn Duluth, Minn.. it

WASHINGTON - Inside story on the main reason why Nazi sabotage has failed in the U. A. can now be told. It dates back to the same kind of row as that now raging between German old-line generals and Nazi politicos inside Germany only this one was inside the Ger man Embassy in Washington.
 Sabotage cannot be committed unless an underground system has been laid long in advance. And one group of old-line diplomats in side the German Embassy vigor- ously opposed building up this net work of agents before the war started. They also opposed the Bund and George Sylvester Vie- reck's propaganda; contended that, if Germany kept hands off of U. $. affairs, the big American indus trialists, plus the Bonnet Clarks, Yves and Wheelers, would keep the United States out of the war.
 The two rival groups inside the German Embassy were:
 l. The anti-Nazi faction - h. cluding military attache General Friedrich von Boetticher; naval attache Vice Admiral Robert Wit thoeft- -Emden; commercial attache Theodor von Knoop; and first sec retary pr. Wilhelm Tannenberg.
 2. The notwithstanding sec ond secretary Ulrich Freiherr von Gienanth; first secretary Karl Res enberg; and Dr. Manfred Zapp head of the Trans-ocean News Service.
 Kurt Sell, Washington represen- tative of the German news agency DNB steered middle course be- tween them.
 The feuding between these two groups became so bitter that, at one time, Hitler sent his World

The crew manager explained that
his unit would test six or seven
townships in this county and that
the work would take from two to
four months, depending on the
depth that the shooting wells
would have to be drilled.
Mr.. Backman was interested In
locating a powder magazine near

SuppneS.
before OPA undertook to put
a lid on crude oil prices, indepen-
dent refiners were able TO obtain
crude oil by paying a bonus, aver
aging probably five cents barrel,
over and above the posted contract
price of the larger companies" the
spokesman declared.
The bonus was necessary to
overcome the larger companies adj
vantages as TO capital, credit, own
ership of pipelines, etc. Indepen-
dent refiners could pay a bonus
for crude, sell their gasoline for
less than the majors, and still
make a profit, due to the fact of
a lower percentage of overhead
than the larger units.
ssOPA Again"
'But now the OPA ceiling price
prevents the payment of a bonus
for crude supplies, large oil com
panies have the advantage In max.
ing purchase contracts, and hide
pendent refiners are facing fast
dwindling of available crude oil
from which TO make gasoline"
II would be to the interest of
the entire industry that the pres
ent ratio of Independents 10 ma
jors be continued, this operator
said, thereby eliminating the pos
sibility of monopoly charges later
on and possibly bringing further
restrictive legislation
Two Alternatives
Two possible procedures TO main
tain the status quo were suggested:
One, that OPA permit a return to
the independent bonus system for
purchase of crude, and the other
that enough independent producers
of oil reserve their supplies for
the independent refiners to keep
such plants operating in order to
assure an Independent market
at a bonus-in the future The
