Unconfirmed German reports placed Nazi spearheads within 20 miles of the Soviet Capital.

A supreme test, Moscow's defenders admitted, was rapidly developing in the twenty-three-day-old offensive in which the Russians saythat Adolf Hitler was lost 300,000 men on the snow-covered battlefields. In the Ukraine, the plight of the southern Red armies under the new command of Marshal Semeon Timoshenko clearly verged on disaster. Nazis Claim Kharkov Jubilantly, heralded by a fanfare of trumpets, Hitler's High Command told the German people that their legions had captured Russia's "Pittsburgh," the big war foundries city of Kharkov, in the heart of the Donets River Industrial basin, and that Nazi troops now overran all but a tiny corner of the extreme southeastern Ukraine. The High Command said the city of 840,000, lying 400 miles south of Moscow and 260 mi.es east of Kiev, the German-held capital of the Ukraine, was "one of the most important armament and economic centers of the Soviet Union." As a production source for tanks, locomotive engines, coal and metals, Kharkov's loss meant a heavy blow to Russia's war supplies. Moreover, the Germans claimed the capturS of the key rail town of Belgorod, 47 miles north of Kharkov, on the main line to Moscow.

Crisis Is Acknowledged Dispatches from Kuibyshev, aux. iliary Soviet capital, acknowledged that the hour of crisis had arrived in the struggle for Moscow and that the Germans were also pressing furious new offensives into the Crimea and at the approaches to Rostov-on-Don, gateway to the BY HUB M. GF.ORG. rm Prut Staff Writer Mayor Jeffries was backed for re-election Saturday by both the Detroit Citizens League and the CIO, while AFL affiliates were supporting Judge Joseph A. Gillis, as the preference of the three Influential campaign agencies were made known to Detroit's registered electors.

All three groups Indorsed the reelection of Clerk Thomas D. Lead- better and of Treasurer Albert E. Cobo. Listless' Citizens Criticized The Citizens League, in its pub lication Searchlight recommended the same candidates It had in dorsed in the primary. The Searchlight lamented the "llstlessness" of Detroit voters and said it was "tragic" that two-thirds of them ignored the pri mary, even in the of grand jury indictments that removed a third of the Council.

It warned that indifference pro vides opportunity for "name" can didates, and it urged voters to assure themselves of the identity and also the qualifications of each -spirant supported. It stressed that Fred C. Cas-tator, a bus driver, is not to be confused with the late Fred W. Casta tor, his uncle, a former clerk and councilman. 'Preferred' for Council The familiar "qualified" designation, wheie some other candidate is "preferred" was used In only one instance this time.

Harold E. Stoll, register of deeds, was so designated in his campaign for the clerkship. Candidates "preferred" by the Citizens League for the Council include John W. Smith, Charles E. John C.

Lodge and James H. Garlick, Incumbents, and Jean B. Chamberlain, William A. Corn-stock and George Edwards. The incumbents omitted from the "pre- ferred" list are Eugene I.

Van Antwerp and Henry S. Sweeny. The League recommended ap-p Dval of charter amendments A and the first designed to preserve civil service rights of those in military service and the latter to extend tax deadlines. With the contention that "only the people should choose council- Table of Preferences Page 8 men," it recommended rejection of Amendment which would emr power the Council temporarily to fill its own vacancies. Labor's Council Favorites Neither labor group expressed Itself on charter amendments.

The CIO Non-Partisan League, besides supporting Jeffries, Lead-better, and Cobo, suggested only six names for the nine Council seats, two of them incumbents. The ClO-backcd candidates are Councilmen Smith and Lodge, Josephine Gomon, George Edwards, Charles Diggs and Stanley Nowak. The Detroit and Wayne County Federation of Labor (AFL) Indorsed Councilmen Smith, Lodge, Garlick, Dorais, Van Antwerp and Sweeny and two newcomers, Mrs. Gomon and William G. Eogell.

It was intimated that one additional indorsement may be forthcoming later to round out a slate of nine. Glllis for mayor, Leadbetter for clerk and Cobo for treasurer were given AFL backing.

Today's Index BERLIN DIARY By Wm. L. Shirer The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent Climax of Blitzkrieg FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT BERLIN, May 30, 1940 A Gcr-man dropned in today. He said: "How many years will the war last 7" The question surprised me in the light of the news. The great battle in Flanders and Artois neared its end toaay.

It's a terrific German victory. Yesterday, according to the German High Command, the British made a great bid to rescue what is left of the BEF by sea. Sent over 50 transports to fetch their troops along the coast around Dunkerque. Germans say they sent over two flying corps to bomb them. Claim they sank 16 transports and three "warships," which no doubt is exaggerated, and hit and damaged, or set on fire 21 transports and 10 warships, which probably is an even greater a geration.

British sent out hundreds of planes to protect their fleet. What is left Shirer of the three French armies cut off in Flanders and Artois is being gradually annihilated, one gathers from the German reports. The Btench apparently are entirely surrounded.

Column 5 DefensePlan Seen as Halting Auto Making Now York Timet Sertlce WASHINGTON, Oct 25 Defense officials predicted today that the adoption of the new military program would mean the virtual cessation next year of the manufacture of new consumers' durable goods, Includ-i automobiles, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and similar items. After President Roosevelt had confirmed yesterday reports that the huge new defense program was under preparation, officials talked more freely of the economic implications of any plan which would roughly double the speed and scope of the present armament effort. Two-Vear Job Proposed The new program is designed to furnish within two years the military equipment to assure the defeat of the Axis powers. Officials pointed out that the present "inadequate" defense-production schedule called for utilizing approximately half of America's industrial production facilities in 1942. While the present program contemplates expenditure of only 25 per cent of the United States national income in 1942, officials said that in the raw-material field, such as aluminum, copper, steel and other basic Industrial metals, the diversion to arms output now is from 35 to 100 per cent.

Will Need All Tools This means, they said, that a new military program of the scope now being discussed by the Supply, Priorities and Allocation Board, the War and Navy Departments and the Office of Production Management will require the use of nearly every important machine tool in the country. While defense officials contended a year ago that only 10 to 15 per cent of machine tools in such factories as automobile plants were convertible to defense work, they now are reported revising these estimates greatly. J. Leonard Replogle, who had charge of steel production for the 1918 War Industries Board, was disclosed today to have written W. A.

SABO Fret Pre) Slaft Writer ANN ARBOR, Oct 23 No matter how adroitly the phraseology may bo camouflaged or how pleasantly the pill may be sugar-coated for home consump tion, one fact remains: On this sunshiny afternoon mighty Minnesota continued ita subjugation of Michigan's Wolverines in a 7-0 victory replete with bone-crushing football and fully worth the while of the fans who set a Michigan attendance record.

The Deciding Points These prfdiron Gonhem ntnirk with one rapier-like thrust late in me secona penoa ana pereby registered the deciding joints. Sophomore Herman Frick' Bub. stitute halfback, scored tL- win ning touchdown on a two-yard smash. But before this all-important plunee.

Three plays later Frickey bulled his way over and Quarterback Bill Garnaas, another sophomore, place- KicKea we extra p)inu So Minnesota, in registering its thirteenth straight victory and its eighth in a row over Michigan, now leads the Western Conference and rates as the No. 1 team In the Nation. In victory the Gophers also broke a Michigan streak. Not Minnesota Guard Injured Seriously Special to tht Ttt Fret ANN ARBOR. Oct.

25 Helge Pukema, 201-pound veteran guard for Minnesota, was confined to University Hospital tonight with a serious kidney in-Jury suffered in the battle against Michigan. He was carried from the field on a stretcher in the first half. Teammates said he appeared to be partially paralyzed. Pukema is from Duluth and is playing his third year for the Gophers. Two other Gophers suffered knee injuries.

They were Capt. Bruce Smith, halfback, who left the game in the second period and did not return, and Herman Frickey, sophomore halfback. since the scoreless tie with Northwestern back In 1938 had a Mich igan team been blanked. That was 23 games ago. Michigan Loses Chances The manner in which Minnesota kept the Wolverines in bondage today may have been a bitter pill to swallow.

Twice Michigan let scoring opportunities slip out of its grasp. But it was a richly deserved Minnesota victory as the Gophers played the last half without their ace back, Smith, and cunningly defended their seven-point margin. Smith, a constant offensive threat while on the field, suffered an injured right knee on the play preceding the score. After the touchdown spurt, the Gophers had only one other scoring threat. They advanced to the Michigan 17 In the third period.

Michigan, in contrast, once maneuvered to the Gopher 5-yard line and in the last five minutes saw Tom Kuzma's perfect pass slip out of the hands of End Harlin Frau-mann on the 2-yard line. Michigan's Chance The best 'Michigan scoring opportunity in this battle of gridiron giants came a few moments after Minnesota had scored with four minutes to play in the first half. This came about as Kuzma completed a 37-yard pass to Halfback Paul White to the Gopher 20. On this play White was barely knocked dovn by Garnaas. Two plays later Capt.

Bob Westfall went 15 yards to the 5 on a lateral from Kuma. Here was the big opportunity with only two minutes to go in the half. But it wasn in the books for Michigan to score. On first down Westfall lost a yard. Then he fumbled on the next play and Bob Sweiger recovered for the Gophers on their 11.

It marked the first time in three years of college football that Westfall has fumhled. With seven minutes of this struggle still remaining, Michigan had another golden opportunity when Bud Higgms. 146-pound Gopher substitute halback, had the ball jarred from him on a tackle smash and Guard Morvin Fregulmaa re-Turn tn First Snort Tiiee to remove all restrictions against American ships moving into belligerent waters and thus to leave to the President virtually the same powers as were exercised by President Wilson in the last World War. By a vote of 13 to 10, the Foreign Relations Committee today voted in favor of allowing American merchant men to enter beliger-ent ports and the combat zones from which they are now barred under the Neutrality Act of 1939. Debate To Open Monday Debate on the committee's recommendations, voted with approval of the Administration, will open in Senate Monday.

The committee action broadens the House-approved neutrality-revision bill which authorizes arming of United States merchant ships. "This debate is quite obviously the last time when Congress will be permitted to discuss freely the war situation, as events, and not Congress, must determine our future course," said Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Michigan Republican, who has been a leader in opposing the drift toward war. Van denberg will be among the leaders in the opening debate. Pepper States Views From the other side, came the statement by Senator Claude Pepper, Florida Democrat, who frequently speaks with White House approval.

He said: "We have' squarely faced the realities, acting to repeal all restraining ana snacK-line provisions of the Neutrality Act. This marks another great ef-1 fort on our part to stop Hitler with materials and not men. "It will give a new determination to our effort to put tools into the hands of those fighting Hitler in Europe, and to keep the beast of war from our shores." Way Vote Was Made The committee members voted as follows on the proposal to end the restrictions against American ships carrying war materials to British, Russian and other ports: For lifting the ban: Democrats Connally, George, Wagner, Barkley, Murray, Thomas, of Utah; Pepper, Green, Guffey, Glass, Lee, Tunnell; Republican-White. Against lifting the ban: DemocratsVan Nuys, Reynolds, Clark, of Missouri, Gillette; Republicans Johnson, of California. Capper, Vandenberg, Shipstead-JNye; Progressive La Follette.

Just prior to the final vote, the committee voted, 12 to 11, to substitute the amendment drafted by Majority Leader Alben Barkley for a similar one previ ously offered by Senators Pepper, Theodore F. Green, Rhode Island Democrat, rjid Josh Lee, Oklahoma Democrat.

The United Mine Workers (CIO) chief asserted that work In the mines, operated by steel companies in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama which are busy on vital defense orders, would stop at midnight to night as scheduled.

50,000 Miners Involved More than 50,000 miners are in' volved in the dispute, which arose over demands lor a union shop. Lewis reply to the President's request was sharply critical of the National Defense Mediation Board and Associate Director Sidney Hiuman, or the OPM. Mr. Roosevelt had asked that Lewis and Myron C.

Lewis, declining to recommend any further extension of negotiations, said that he under stood that Taylor had declined the suggestion on the grounds that he felt ha could represent his own company but not the industry.

The Free Press asked Mickle why Detroit didn't use the streets that are now available and, by blocking off side streets, make the main arteries limited-access avenues.
