Reiser, Williams lolding To Leads In Battinq Races THE WAR TODAY By DEWITT MACKENZIE The Ukrainian break-through which the Germans appear to have accomplished at the close of three months of warfare may or may not be the Red Army's Sedan; it will take but a little time to show whether the Russians' special genius for resistance can slop and smother the German columns now reaching for the Donets and Don basins, or whether the defending Armies wildcatter like Autumn leaves bp ore the wind, as did the armies of France.

Pet. .664 .541 .497 .450 .486 .451 .444 .425 To get this great military nient roughly in American geographic prospective, one can turn the map of the United States counter-clockwise until the Pacific Ocean rests on the the Atlantic on lop. The. active front runs from Detroit to the Western Nebraska border.

Thus the Canadian border becomes roughly the Reich frontier; Detroit becomes. Leningrad; St. Louis is Moscow. Now -one finds that Omaha (Kiev) has been stormed and 'entered by the invader after a two months' siege; Moreover, and more important, the enemy has broken through on both sides of Omaha, forcing the Platte and Missouri Rivers and is advancing on a 75-mile front deep into Kansas, its panzer columns groping at Wichita (Darkov)T From 1 here the invading armies may branch; one plunging on into the rich states of Oklahoma and Texas, the other turning to outflank St. Louis (Moscow).

All this while industrial Detroit'(Leningrad) is besieged by land lake, under constant fire the invaders' cannon. Furthermore, four defending armies are said to be trapped and facing annihilation somewhere between Omaha and the vicinity of Topeka, Kas. That, is about as far, as crude comparison can be carried. the actual map of Russia, the main threat 'is to the industries of the Donets and Don basins, to the Caucasus, even to the supply route from Persia, over which the westernlands hope to send the materiel which Russia. needs to replace the sinews she has lost.

It is not fair, however, to assume at this time that the Germans will be able 1 to continue the sweep eastward. If the present action follws the pattern of the past 90 days and Russians continue the same superb resistance, there are today many ferocious battles raging far behind the Germans' furthermost points of penetration. iLATE (Continued from Page 6) bitchers and the best clubs when chips were down.

Cities Safest For Drivers Survey Reveals Greatest Motor Fatalities Occur 'On Open Road RALEIGH.

Sept. safest places to drive in North Carolina are the cities. Although only four of the Slate's cities of more than 10,000 population finished.the first eight months of the year without a traffic fatality, the municipal records were much better than those of the open road, the highway safety division reported today. For the eight month period, there 7-12 fatalities, of which 86 occurred on city streets. Concord, Elizabeth City.

New Bern and Statesville were the four cities with perfect records. Charlotte's streets were the bloodiest, with 18 deaths being against the Queen City. The greatest increase was shown by Durham, where 10 persons were killed in the eight- month period against'one in the same time last year. WinslonrSalem made the greatest improvement. Last year four- 'teeri persons had died from accidents in the first eight months.

The toll was only two this year, when the safety division completed its tallv. DELAYED WEDDING FORT WAYNE. Ind. (iP) Glenn Kessier and Lillian Kirkpa trick planned to be married two weeks ago. The bride caught influenza and the ceremony was postponed.

Accents are mixed. Piercing New England twang relays orders. A southern drawl shoots back "Aye, aye, sir." Nasal Midwestern farmer'voices tell us to come foi-ward to balance ship for the take-off.

There's little shaving or handwashing aboard. Some of the men, especially the mecks (mechanics) wear beards. They stay aboard more than other members of the crew. Hair is forever mussed. Blame it on headsets.

Close quarters and common concern for safety develop a sense of toleration -and comradeship aboard, but nobody wastes time on Alfonse and Gaston gestures. 21. ABBOTTS CKEK CHURCH WILL LAUNCH REVIVAL SERVICES ON SUNDAY Rev. B. A.
