-THE REGISTER-STAR- AUGUST 18, 1941 Counter-Attacks Tear Holes In Nazi Lines, Push Army Back Miles (Continued From Page One.) The Germans said that their "forces were closing a trap around "the Black sea port of Odessa (normal population, 604,000) and that Soviet defenders of the city, a major base of the Russian Black sea fleet, had only a 25- milc escape gap between Odessa "and the Bug river. A communique from Hitler's field headquarters asserted that the Soviet retreat toward the lower Dnieper was partly assuming the aspects of a rout. Reports reaching Berlin indicated the luftwaffe was pound- Jng Soviet naval vessels operating along the north coast of the Black sea but failed to specify whether these ships were evacuating or reinforcing the Odessa Elsewhere along the front three German divisions the 262nd, 94th and 99th losses ranging from 50 to percent of their normal strength, which would total ap proximately 43,500 men, a Moscow communique declared. Moscow had its 20th air-raid of the war last night but reported none of the raiders got through the city. The British pounded Germany and occupied France day and during the week-end and followed up with raids again 'last night Into sections of the reich.

Only a few German planes were reported over England. Indications were seen in London, meanwhile, that Britain and 'Soviet Russia were planning decisive action In Iran, where reports of German infiltrations brought protests twice from London and Moscow. British sources estimated that ,.3,000 Germans In the guise of gtourists technicians have en- 'tered Iran, which borders on Russia and India, and were Involved Jn Nazi intrigues. I Moscow announced yesterday the signing of a Russian-British commercial and economic accord. Under it, Britain was expected to send Russia rubber, tin, wool, hides, jute, shellac and 'similar commodities in exchange for platinum, hemp, flax, manganese, glycerine and timber.

In the Par East, Tokyo newspapers warned the Japanese public that war threatened from all sides asa the result of "encirclement" by nations allegedly seeking to strange the nation economically. "There is danger of an explosion of the worst eventualities in 'the east, west, south and north simultaneously," said the Diplo- Review, frequent outlet of foreign office opinion. A Japanese broadcast from Tokyo, heard in New York, said the Chinese national government preparing to build 14 in four provinces of China use by the United States, -Great Britain and Russia.

In Shaighai. three members of Wang Ching-Wei's personal bodyguard were reported to have been shot and killed in an attack on the Nanking home of the leader of the Japanese-sponsored Chinese regime. Shanghai sources said the attack was instigated by Japanese as a warning to Wang not to make any false moves in his relations with Japan. United States Ambassador Joseph C.

Grew held a lengthy conference with Japanese Foreign Minister Teljiro Toyoda, and it was reported that their discussion was of the utmost importance. The Japanese have asserted that the recent sea meeting between President Roosevelt and Prime- Minister Churchill bore directly on Japan's plan for a new order in east Asia, and presumably this phase entered into Grew's talk with Toyoda. Senator From North Carolina And Fiancee BATAVIA (JP) A quarrel between two Point farmers was climaxed with the slaying of Warren i Wellington, 54. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Colonel "reported that John T. Browning, 48, Wellington 's partner on a I share basis, admitted fatally shooting Wellington after the lat' ter threatened to kill him.

was held but no charges filed immediately. Last June, Wellington was held for grand jury action on a charge of attempting to poison Browning. Wellington was released after his -bond, originally fixed at $20,000, was reduced to $1,000 and he returned to live with Browning. Several weeks ago, Browning charges of chicken ing against Wellington and Wellington sued for dissolution of their partnership. Colonel quoted Browning as paying that Wellington threatened with a club.

Browning told deputy he then took his rifle and fired two shots at Wellington. Colonel said that when he ar' rived to investigate, Wellington's hand was clutching a club. Browning telephoned Sheriff Tom Brooks after the slaying. Legion Units Parade Today Youngstown YOUNG STOWN American Legion units from all sections of Ohio, decked out in their finest, lined up today jfor one of the blggt'tft parades in the state group's history. With downtown stores scheduled to close, city officials predicted at least 150,000 persons would view the four- hour-long line.

The marchers warmed up for the big event yesterday with the annual drum and bugle corps competition. Elyria took the title with 93 points of a possible 100. Massillon, the defending champion, was second with 91.95 and Alliance, the 19; runnerup, was third with 91. Other scores were Cleveland Heights 80.3, Cuyahoga Falls 86.1 and Akron 83.5. The Xenia Post boys' band played during the marching.

The junior drum and bugle corps championship went to the Clifton Post boys' band of Lakewood with 82.7 points. Toledo was second with 77.9. Donna Kincel, 16-year-old Canton girl, was first in competition among the majorettes, Robert Rhoades of Euclid was judged the best bugler, and James Williams of Youngstown the best drummer. Mrs. J.

Bricker nodded in negative reply when asked at a press conference if Jie thought a- special session of the legislature should be called to consider state taxes and the surplus in the state treasury. Governor Bricker said he had the written by- CRANIUM CRACKERS Cuyahoga-co legislators who de manded the special session for consideration of decreased sales taxes and an increase in funds to municipalities. The chief executive said the letter was still in the stack of mail that accumulated on his desk while he vacationed in Canada. Upon his return today, the Governor was faced with the task of appointing a defense council to forestall a growing dislocation of Ohio industry and coonsequent unemployment from national defense priorities on raw materials. The Cyyahoga delegation all Democrats demanded an increase in the local government allocation from $12,000,000 to $16,000,000 and a slash in state taxes in view of a prospective $60,000,000 sales tax collection, which would be approximately $9,000,000 above last year's total.

"Buying today is in anticipation of next year's needs and consequently the sales tax revenues next year will be lower," Bricker retorted. "The uncertainty is great. The curtailment of install ment buying and the cut in the production of automobiles, whose sale annually nets the state about $20,000,000, will decrease the tax revenues." The governor added that "a surplus isn't a bad thing to have especially when this administration assumed a $40,000,000 debt incurred by the one preceding it." He said there was no immediate plans for work of the defense council, which becomes a reality Wednesday. He said he intended to round out the council tomorrow and summon it for its first conference Wednesday.

The dead, ranging in age from two to 11 years, were children of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Bush, who escaped after a soot explosion in th kitchen stove blocked the stairway to the single room where the eight children were sleeping. The hysterical parents watched Elva, 14, leaped to safety from a window. Then Leora, 11, was seen to bring Cloy, here four-year- old brother, to the window and him to safety.

Apparently returning to save others, the little girl was not seen again. Those who died in addition to Leora were: Fanny, 10, Curt, 9, Shirley, 7, Nancy, 5, and Letta, 2. Mrs. Bush said she was kindling a fire in the stove to prepare breakfast when the explosion occurred. Hearings On Tax Measure Are Resumed WASHINGTON, (UP) The Senate finance committee resumed hearings on the nation's largest tax bill today as the treasury announced that tax collections totaling $7,370,108,377 during the 1041 fiscal year set a peace-time record.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering said that collections were $1,711,443,577 above the previous high of $5,658,765,000 established in 1938 and $2,030,656,031 above fiscal 1940. Income taxes totaling accounted for the largest single portion of the collection. They showed an increase of 55.5 percent above, the $2,102,598,926 collected during the preceding 12 months. Corporation taxes netted $1,851,978,990 and individual returns produced $1,417,655,126.

The Increase of the former over fiscal 1940 was 65.3 percent, While the latter were 44.4 percent greater. Meanwhile, the finance committee awaited treasury recommendations for a "community property" tax and broadening of the tax base by lowering income exemptions. Committee Chairman Walter P. George, said that the treasury might bring the two proposals before the committee early this week. Their enactment, he said, would necessitate a downward revision of individual income tax rates.

The "community property" tax, he said, would probably bear some resemblance to the controversial joint return provision deleted by the house. However, he explained, it apparently applies only to income from property held in common and not to income received in the form of salaries.

Casting notes: Mae West has an impressive offer to appear with a circus Mickey Roon ey joins Jack Benny and William Powell as a female impersonator; dons a Latin American dancers outfit for a song-and-dance number in "Babes on Broadway." Sigrid Gurle has turned down another anti-Nazi film role, fearing reprisals against her family in Oslo. At least two U.

But I'll bet the best gesture of good-neighborliness will turn out to be Walt Disney's tour of South America with a crew of artists and story men who'll sketch scenes and people and jot ideas for future animated cartoons. In the role of international Dews commentator in "Woman of the Year," Katy Hepburn will speak a few sentences In seven languages.

Metro has been having some WAR Interpretation By DEWITT MACKENZIE W-Speclal News Service The Nazis have made a big gain in their Ukraine drive by captur ing the great naval port and industrial center of Nikolaev, and Krivoi Rog, center of Russia's most productive iron mining area, but taking a long view of the position it must be said that this slam doesn't win the rubber. The really vital factor whether Soviet Marshal Budyenny in meeting the Hitlerian onslaught has been able to make strategic retirement to fresh defenses. In this connection it is significant that the Muscovites report having withdrawn from both Nikolaev and Kriovi Rog, and there is no indication of great loss of men or material. musn't overlook, either, the tip the Russians give us in saying that they are counter attackings heavily the northern flank of- the Nazi advance into the Ukraine. Such a counter-measure, to hold this German flank from advancing would be an essential operation in connection with a Red with drawal farther south.

in short, it seems highly prob able that Budyenny has pulled back large forces to defenses little farther east behind the Dnieper river. He must make stand here along a line which will as its southern extremity the famous Crimea with its strong defenses, both land and naval. Strong Red forces must, of course, have been left for the de fensc of Odessa, the great naval base which presumably will be the scene of a fierce fight. If we assume that the onrushing Ger mans will capture it seems likely that they those Bolshevist troops in this area will be in a precarious position, their only means of escape bcinj, by sea under heavy Nazi aerial bombardment. However, the loss of Odessa or even of the troops defending it'will not be decisive.

"Lightning Staged By Army During Maneuvers CAMP POLK, VP) Top flight Army officers arriving from Washington as observers for the war games of the Third Army opening today ran right into an unexpected sample of "lightning warfare." Enroute from a nearby by motor, Chief of Staff Lesley McNair sped into the 48 -mile spearhead movement of the sec ond armored division, which took major honors in opening sorties of the field maneuvers. Lieutenant General McNair and sixteen aides saw the division's tanks plunging onward in a strong advance movement of the Eighth Army corps against the larger Fifth Army Corps. Two hundred light tanks theoretically annihilated horse cavalry units and paved the way for charging medium tanks. A gunner in one tank died last night after his heavy machine overturned near Leesville in the hilly Louisiana pinelands where 250,000 men of the Third Army from 32 states, ranging from Maine to Arizona, are engaged in realtic military games. The war games will sharpen them for the September conflict with the Second Army, now conducting similar maneuvers in Arkansas.

Somewhere in southwest Ark' ansas drivers eased Army trucks along the widened cattle path to the little Missouri river's edge in complete "blackout" before dawn today and one by one drove at snail's pace between the barely visible lights that marked the floating bridges. There was less than a foot to spare on either side these spans'the men behind the wheels couldn't see. It was an eerie, inky blackness, with only stars overhead and blackouts lights, looking like fireflies as the vehicles bumped over the bridges. Not far away infantrymen hurried on foot with full packs and rifles ono their backs, across the narrow foot bridges. With Major General Samuel T.

Lawton personally watching the movement of his 19,000 men, the, job was carried out in complete for a few drivers who were quickly told to extinguish their lights.
