1 Twe 'ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL October 15, 194 New Nazi Thrust Menaces Moscow 45-Mile Advance Revealed by Reds Continued From Page One sented a 10-mile gain claimed during A the day by Russians in counterattacks on the Vyazma front. The German claim to have put Moscow's most advanced defenses under immediate peril of cannon fire was accompanied by an acknowledgement that this Red belt lay a considerable distance from the center of the city. Unofficial estimates were that it probably was about 501 miles. Claim 3 Million a Captives Aside from this Berlin dwelt largely in generalities Tuesday, claiming that the German sweep was irresistible and that Red soldiers now knocked out of action aggregated 6,000,000, of whom than half were prisoners. morts extraordinary estimate of Russian captives was bigger by more than hall million than the grand total of all prisoners taken by Germany four years of the World War.

About Vyazma, the Nazis asserted, the Russian armies now were annihilated; about Bryansk it was declared that the surviving Soviet forces were being destroyed and that Red prisoners in the two sectors already exceeded 500,000, German accounts conceded that Russian reserves still were pouring into the line all along the front, but described these fresh troops 1 as desperation units formed of work battalions, labor union detachments, ill-trained garrison soldiers, and the survivors of broken tank and infantry divisions. More Optimistie This matter of reserves was taking on an importance increasingly recognized. Lozovsky, the Soviet spokesman, insisted in the course of a general summary that the numerical superiority long held by the Germans now was diminishing, adding: "Fresh millions have risen to the defense of Moscow. We know the Germans can never capture it!" His appraisal of the situation was the most optimistic to come from a responsible Russian source in many days. Still, the possibility of disaster on the existing fronts was plainly recognized in the fact that thousands of Russian civilians were reported set to digging trenches and tank traps for a prospective new detense line somewhere upon the Moscow approaches.

The Russian armies were declared to have taken an oath "to die here but not let the enemy to Moscow." Air Forces Active Among the most significant of Russian claims were that transport was still functioning satisfactorily and that the Russian air force was contending on about equal terms with the Germans for mastery of the skies. In London Labor Party critics dissatisfied with the extent of British aid to Russia attempted to debate the issue in the House of Commons, and in the process one of them accused Lord Halifax, British ambassador to the United States, of having in effect given Hitler assurances that he would not be attacked in the west by making a statement that Britain's present equipment was not suffi. cient to attempt a continental invasion. Prime Minister Churchill dis. posed of the attack on Halifax by calling it mere "abuse of a City Can Use 3 Fire Trucks If Government Will Buy Them, Tingley Says The city will state it needs three fire trucks in reply to a questionnaire issued by the Federal Civilian Defense Office, Clyde Tingley, City Commission chairman, said Tuesday.

Fay Guthrie, state defense CO-1 ordinator, said in Santa Fe Tuesday that 14 New Mexico communities will be asked to report the condition of their equipment the Associated Press statechrie said the information will be used as a basis of allocating equipment should Congress authorize such federal purchases. "We can use trucks in addition to our present ones, and we'll be glad to get them if the Government will buy Tingley said. According to Guthrie, civilian defense headquarters has sent the forms also to Carlsbad. Las Cruces, both East and West Las Vegas, Portales, Raton, Silver. City, Tucumcari, Clovis, Hobbs.

Roswell and Santa Fe. Testimony Completed On Alianza Petition; Second Case Under Way TUCSON, Oct. 14 (A) -Attorneys for the Alianza Hispano, Americana and the Arizona Corporation Commission Tuesday completed presentation of evidence and testimony in the fraternal benefit society's petition for Superior Court order restraining the commission from interfering in Alianza affairs. Judge William G. Hall then began hearing evidence in the Commission's petition for a court order placing operation of the ciety in the commission's hands.

Donald R. Luckham, attorney for the Calfornia insurance comsel for the Arizona Commission, missioner and an associate contended the society is being operated in a manner hazardous to the interests of policy holders. Attorneys said they expected the case to be completed Friday. The commission revoked Alianza's license last week and asked the court to restrain the from transferring cash or assets. man who is on a high mission outside this country." As to Russian aid he would allow no discussion in Commons at all, implying that it might hurt the Soviet cause and stating that his critic in that case, Emanuel Shinwell, had no "monopoly of anxiety in these matters." In sum, he implied that it was no time for the British to be talking.

Sea- Air Battle In the air -sea war on the western and northern Eur fronts and in the Mediterranean these were the day's chief developments: The Italians claimed that their torpedo planes had hit and daman unidentified British battleship and cruiser in the second large attack on the British Mediterranean fleet within 17 days. The British on their side stated that three more Axis merchantmen had been sunk in those waters and a fourth damaged. They declared as well that in the now almost unending British aerial offensive two German supply ships vere hit Tuesday off the Norwegian coast, and that occupied France was again attacked in a continuation of raids which on Monday night and Tuesday morning had been centered on Duesseldorf, Cologne and other industrial objectives in western Germany.

Producers of beef cattle, dairy products, wool and flaxseed, he said, are once again to be "sacrificed under the timeworn excuse of a national emer- gency." Smaller Than Expected Senator O'Mahoney Wyo.) said: "The reduction of tariff duty on agricultural products would compete with our own western agricultural products are really much smaller than many of us in the West had feared made." "Domestic wool trade, O'Mahoney said, "should not' be seriously affected, particularly since the OPM, the War Department and the Navy Department are giving preferential treatment to domestic wool in their purchases." It is the 12th trade agreement to be concluded with American republics and will go into effect provisionally Nov. 15, entering into full force 30 days after exchange of ratifications. Subject to certain special provisions, it will remain in force for three years and may continue in force indefinitely thereafter. Under it, Argentina grants concessions to the United States on 127 products which in 1940 accounted for about 30 per cent the total United States exports $32,000,000 out of $106,000,000. These concessions take the form of reductions in tariffs or agreements not to raise tariffs.

Argentina gets reductions in duties or assurance of the uance of existing tariffs on 84 products which in 1938 and 1939 accounted some 93 per cent of her total exports to the United States. Among other things, the tariff is reduced on flax seed, canned corn beef, coarse wools, quebra cho extract, casein, tallow, oleo oil. and oleo stearin, cattle hides, and Italian type cheese. The United States agreed to keep numerous products on the free list, including furs and skins and various animal byproducts. Meat Cut 50 Per Cent Among the major concessions granted Argentina in the accord were a reduction by 50 per cent of the duty on canned meats and flaxseed, two prime export products of the southern republic.

The duty on canned meats was reduced from six cents per pound to three cents per pound. Other major reductions in duty include: Hides and skins of cattle from 10 per cent ad valorem to 5 per cent ad valorem; grease or washed, from 24 Wools--not finer than 408-in to 13 cents per pound; scoured from 27 cents to 16 cents pound; on the skin from 22 to 11 cents per pound: sorted or matchings if not scoured 25 cents to 14 cents per pound. Wools not finer than 44's: In grease or washed 29 cents to 17 cents per pound; scoured from 32 cents to 20 cents per pound; on the skin from 27 cents to 15 cents per pound; sorted or matchings if not scoured 30 cents to 18 cents per pound. Santa Fe Company Low in Bids on Three Highway Projects SANTA FE, Oct. 14 (P)-The Highway Department opened bids Tuesday on four projects of nearly $250.000 worth of construction.

The projects and low bidders: Grading and construction of drainage structure and culverts on five miles of state road 17 between Farmington and Bloomfield -Brown Brothers of Albuquerque, $143,598. Base course surfacing of five miles of U. S. 84-85 between Canoncito and Peeos, A. C.

Wool Doesn't Compete Louis McRae, manager of the Wool Warehouse said the reciprocal pact's reduction in import charges on coarse wool will not be felt in any extent in New Mexico, as this state produces territory" wools, graded most as 64's. The pact affects, coarse 40's and 44's.

"About the only likelihood that the Argentine reduction might atfect our wool prices, and then only slightly, is that some manufacturers might attempt to substitute small amounts of the cheaper wool in their said McRae. "But the Government would soon stop that." Big Canned Imports New Mexico wools are now being sold at from 32 to 37 cents, McRae said, and the market on clean wool in Boston has touched $1.05. For the past five years, the 1m- ports of canned beef, principally from Argentina, averaged 000 pounds, Hening said, but for year 1940 they reached 942,000 pounds and are increasing this year. The retail price ed from 18 to 20 cents for a 12 ounce can. Further reductions would compete seriously with American canned and fresh meats, he said.

Labor in Argentine canneries receives 12 cents an hour, compared with workers' pay of 68 cents, Hening said. Santa Fe Vice President Continues to West Coast W. K. Etter, Chicago, operating vice president of the Santa Fe Railway, continued toward the West Coast on his special train Tuesday after an inspection visit here. He toured the Army Air Base and the Santa Fe shops Monday and also looked over the railroad's new yards at Belen.

The search enlisted state police of New Mexico and Texas and scores of communities in southern New Mexico. Cavalry Is ready Held ready were cavalry troops of the First Cavalry Division, and Army jeeps, for use in the brush if the search narrowed down to a specific area. Generally, however, the area considered most likely was the desert north of El Paso from the waterless miles of the "Jornado del Muerto" on the west, across the San Andreas mountains, and to the White Sands and the mountains of Lincoln National Forest on the east.
