Clear Path to Moscow
Will Be Open Soon,
Germans Declare
'Battle of Attrition' in
Smolensk Area to Clear
Way, Berlin Asserts
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN (Sunday), Aug. 3.—The
well-informed Dienst aus Deutsch
land commentary predicted today
that "the way to Moscow will be
open shortly" through the Smolensk
area, while German war reports told
of the ouebreak of "another great
destructive battle" in the Ukraine.
Stubborn efforts of the Russians
to halt the German advance on the
Soviet Capital through the central
iront, said the Dienst, a German
news service, have led to a "battle
of attrition" which now has raged
more than two weeks. It declared
the outcome would clear the road
to the east.
Ukraine fightiing flamed between
the Bug and Dniester Rivers south
of Kiev, with German speed troops
officially declared to have cut deeply
again into retreating Soviet columns.
The sudden shift of power in the
Nazi offensive to the southern end
of the huge complicated front was
reported as another week of the
war slipped by without extensive
territorial gains in other sectors be
ing reported by the high command.
Divisions Reported Trapped.
Yet further Red army divisions
were reported trapped east of Smo
lensk, however, with German troops
methodically pressing forward to
draw tight the net along the road
to Moscow.
The location of the new southern
drive, was given as 155 miles south
of Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine.
It evidently was launched across
the Dniester from Upper Bessa
rabia, and possibly was aimed at
driving a wedge between Kiev, Rus
sia's third city, and Odessa, her
chief Black Sea port.
The Germans already have report
ed advance of their forces across
the lower Dniester, and they were
said today to be bringing their ar
tillery up to within bombardment
range of Odessa, which also is an
Important naval base and only about
SO miles distant from the Dniester.
Coupled with the land attack, the
high command said, warplanes
heavily bombed Moscow and rail
Junctions in the upper Volga and
Southern Ukraine.
82,000 Prisoners Claimed.
While the Germans claimed to
have made steady if small territorial
advances in the week just ended,
they were putting emphasis again
and again on the military thesis
that the first objective is to destroy
the Soviet Army and not th occupy
its cities.
This war of material against ma
terial was held to be developing fa
vorably for the Germans.
Thus, an unofficial review of the
last seven days said 82,000 prisoners
and enough equipment to outfit a
iair-sized army had been taken.
Captured war material, it was
said, included 737 heavy tanks, 770
' field cannon, 27 complete artillery
batteries, 1.210 machine guns. 3.000
/motor vehicles, 1.200 railway cars
and 2 armored trains.
Destroyed yesterday, another re
port said, were 129 Soviet planes.
The Dienst, commenting on this
phase, said the tanks captured were
ae many as Soviet industry can
build in two months. If this keeps
up. said Germans, the Soviet arsenal
toon will be empty.
Little to Say on Material.
As to how much material the
Germans are losing, they had little
to say. only remarking that German
commanders know how to conserve
their equipment.
Although the Germans admitted
they had been subjected to intense
Soviet counterattacks in the Smo
lensk area they denied the war had
become one of position, waged from
trenihes across no-man's-land.
"The British try to give the im
pression it has become a war of
position." said D.N.B.. official Ger
man news agency, "but Germany
has the power and material to
force a decision in the East and
such a decision is a pre-condition
for a finish fight with England
herself."
Nevel, Novorzhev, Smolensk and
Zhitomir, towns used by the Rus
sians to describe the areas of fight
ing in their communiques all have
been in German hands many days,
D.N.B. added.
In other phases of the war. the
seventh air attack on Suez in three
weeks was reported, and a "rich
fund of information" reported
brought back from reconnaissance
over England.
20,000 Tons of Shipping.
D.N.B. said German combat planes
sank more than 20,000 tons of ship
ping and damaged an additional
5.000 tons in an attack on a Brit
ish convoy off Scotland.
A 6,000-ton merchantman was
Struck squarely and sank in a short
time. D.N.B. said. Another ves
sel of between 6.000 and 8.000 tons
was set afire by several hits, the
agency said, and a tanker of 8,000
tons struck several times in the
stern was left listing and in flames
so that it was considered a loss.
Another freighter of 5,000 tons was
struck several times, D.N.B. said.
Before the report of this at
tack was published an unofficial
tabulation set the destruction of
shipping destroyed in a week of
raids along Britain's shipping lanes
at 166.500 tons, including 16,000
tons sunk or damaged yesterday and
last night.
Cool Wind to Terminate
Heal Which Felled Two
"A beautiful week end," with clear
sties and slightly lower tempera
tures today and tomorrow, was pre
dicted last night for the District
by the Weather Bureau.
Cooler air, which has been mov
ing slowly southward from Canada,
will come into Washington in the
form of a gentle north wind, the
forecaster said, and is expected to
keep the maximum registration
today and tomorrow at about 84
degrees.
Less humidity also was expected,
about 10 per cent below yesterday's
mark.
A slight increase in humidity was
expected tomorrow, however.
Yesterday, when the temperature
reached a high of 89 degrees, two
men were given hospital treat
ment for effects of the heat but
wene later released to return home.
They were Melvin McCoy, 26, of the
4300 block of C street S.E., treated
at Emergency Hospital, and John
Buchanan, 33, oolored, of the 1200
block of Sixth street N.W.

manpower—already considerably in
excess of 1.500,000—and in materials.
"Each day of the struggle brings
the German Army closer to defeat
and Hitlerite Germany closer to
catastrophe."
Great Losses Claimed.
"The Red Army is beginning to
beat off the Fascists from the po
sitions they occupy," said an op
timistic statement in the Com
munist Party organ, Pravda, "is
forcing them at a number of places
to abandon the offensive and as
sume the defensive, and in certain
places to retreat with great losses."
With the war ending its sixth
week, Pravda pictured the Germans
as having failed to disrupt the long
and laborious task of fully mobiliz
ing the full Soviet Army, to seize
the three key western cities of Mos
cow, Leningrad and Kiev, and as
having lost the initial advantage
of huge concentrations launched in
a powerful surprise attack.
Now "all levers" of the Soviet
! strength are being put into action,
said the official organ.
"From isolated defensive blows the
Red Army is going into consecutive
counterblows which are hurling back
the impudent enemy."
uesperaie tnoris.
The official communiques said the
Germans, in desperate efforts to
hold their ground, were rushing in
fantry divisions forward under
forced marches, while panzer divi
sions. cut off from fuel supplies,
were burying their gas-dry tanks in
the ground to serve as miniature
fortresses until help could arrive.
Parachutists, it was said, in at
least one instance, were sent for
ward as reinforcements until the
infantry could battle its way for
ward.
But the Red Army was described
as turning back on the Germans
the same tactics which the Nazi
general staff has used to drive steel
fingers into the enemy's lines.
Crack Red units, it was. said, were
probing for the weak spots in the
German lines, driving in wedges,
and then exploiting the gains with
flank attacks.
One Soviet division, the 99th, thus
contributed to the destruction of
dog-tired German infantry divisions,
Soviet military dispatches said. One
of these presumably was the Ger
man 5th Infantry Division which an
eyewitness account from the front
said had been rushed forward · to
reinforce a parachute unit.
The location of this action was
not given, though especially severe
fighting was reported in the Smo
lensk area along the road to Moscow.
Mentions Infantry Division.
A communique specifically men
tioned another German infantry
division, the 137th, as having been
wiped out at Smolensk.
This division was said to have
been rushed forward to check a
Soviet advance but to have been
ferociously attacked from the flank
before it could get into action. Sur
rounded by artillery, it was virtually
annihilated by the storm of fire and
succeeding bayonet charges, the of
ficial report said. A desperate effort
of German motorcyclists and cav
alry to cut through the cordon met
a smashing disaster when it en
countered a unit of Soviet tanks.
While Prava said the Germans
were being driven back in some
places, it warned that in others
"the treacherous enemy, despite his
great losses in manpower and ma
terial, is attempting to expand the
territory seized" and is trying by all
means to reach the life centers ol
: the Soviet Union.
I
Pay Bill
(Continued From First Page.)
I program was adopted. First-year
promotions under the bill alone are
estimated to cost about $5,000,000,
with the figure diminishing there
after.
The pay raises are contemplated at
18-month periods for those employe!
receiving less than $3,800 annually,
and every 30 months for those over
that figure and under $9,000. Ef
ficiency ratings of good, or better
than good, however, will be required
to qualify. Unless the case is ex
ceptional, one-step Increases will be
the rule; for the exceptional cases,
an additional step may be granted.
The advances under the Classifica
tion Act will be $60 or $100 in the
18-month bracket, and $200 or $250
for the 30-month group. For the
E. O. advances, the executive order
provided these steps: Grades 1 to
7, $60: 8 to 12, $100; 13 to 16, $200
, and 17 to 19, $250.
Inequities Disclosed.
The pay raise legislation Is the
result of a survey the Budget Bureau
made at the request of the House
Xpproriations Committee which dig
closed widespread inequities in the
distribution of promotions from year
to year m between different agencies
and tnxip· of employee. It is esti
mated that the uniform system wûJ
permit employes under the $3.800 1
level to reach the top of grade in
nine years, and the others, in 10.
In expressing the belief that the
principal beneficiaries under the
emergency order scales would be
field employes, officials said that
this class of workers in Washing
ton generally were at the top of
their grades, for the reason that
these maxima corresponded to the
minima under the Classification Act
for comparable work. Such agencies
as the Home Owners Loan Corp.,
Farm Security Administration, Na
tional Youth Administration and
part of the Public Works Adminis
tration were said to be among the
groups still operating under the
emergency scales. which were
adopted when the emergency agen
cies were flourishing in the earlier
days of the New Deal in an effort
to bring about some uniformity. The
coverage of these rates is being
gradually lessened however, it was
said, and they will disappear as the
Ramspeck Civil Service Extension
Act becomes effective, bringing under
civil service agencies now exempt,
and extending the Classification Act
to the field service.
Proponents of the plan contend
that in the long run it will pay for
itself by lowering turnover and in
[ creasing efficiency.
War Building

be regretted for decades after this
emergency is past history in the
minds of future Americans?
"The members of the Commission
of Pme Arts are aware that the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission pointed out the prac
tical difficulties attendant upon
carrying out the program for build
ing this huge war office in Arling
ton. We have discussed, therefore,
problems of traffic, of sewage dis
posal, and other troublesome fac
tors incident to the proposal. We
feel that the presentation of the
aesthetic factors are worthy of your
careful consideration, for the de
struction of these values will result
in a movement backward, which
cannot help but react against the
future worth of this city and cause
American citizens to lose confidence
in those charged with the duty of
carrying out an orderly plan based,
not alone upon convenience and
health, but also upon those intangi
bles we call beauty, delight and
great charm. '
Defense Needs Conceded.
"The Commission of Pine Arts is
fully .aware of the necessity for
bending every effort to stimulate
more effective measures in the in
terests of national defense. Nothing
that has been written in this letter
; should be construed to mean that
we are not wholly sympathetic to
the needs of the War Department.
We believe, however, that those re
quirements may be fulfilled without
the destruction of values which have
been jealoilsly guarded throughout
the life of this commission. We
believe that there are other satisfac
tory solutions to the problem and
we stand ready to assist in any way
we can to the end that the War
Department may be served and that
this great city may not be made a
place of less beauty than now ob
tains.
"Members of the Commission of
Pine Arts served with distinction as
officers in the last great war and
they are not likely to be accused
of taking action to slow down de
fense; they rather hope that this
action, aimed to prevent the erec
tion of a single huge building for
the War Department Offices in Ar
lington, may result in a new scheme
based upon the decentralization of
the department, which may obviate
a potential disaster resulting from
creating a single target for enemy
bombs.
"Respectfully submitted,
"For the Commission of Fine Arts,
"GILMORE D. CLARKE,
"Chairman."
One War Office Planned.
As approved by the House, the
project is designed to quarter in the
single group of structures the entire
War Department force—estimated
to reach 40,000. The department
figures to have 30,000 workers by the
end of this year.
As the Senate eubcoro:, .'.ttee pre
pared yesterday to debae the mat
ter, it was indicated that some mem
bers, while sympathizing with the
desire of war officials to centralize
their operations, are greatly con
cerned by the difficulties that nec
essarily would arise out of such a
step. The traffic pro'ilem created
on the Potomac bridges is one im
portant angle considered; the de
mand that woilld follow for other
facilities in Arlington County Is an
other.
The subcommittee expects to
grapple with the issue in executive
session Tuesday or Wednesday,
after testimony has been completed
on other phases of the $8,063,000,000
first supplemental defense bill, which
includes the building funds. In ad
dition to War Department officers,
the subcommittee is expected to
summon representatives of the Fine
Arts Commission and of the Na
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, which has recom
mended that the size of the build-!
ing be halved.
Senate Might Cut Project.
In the event the Senate appro
priations group decides to reduce
the size of the project by provid
ing only for an initial unit, or elimi
nates it entirely, the final decision
would rest with conferees for both
branches, since the full amount is
already in the House bill.
It has been emphasized in the
discussion of the proposal that most
of the large force of War Depart
ment employes living in Washing-1
ton would have to get through not
only the District's congested traffic,
but across one of the bridges twice
a day.
Even before the project was put
forward, a House committee was
considering the necessity for an ad
ditional bridge or tunnel to facili
tate traffic across the Potomac. No
such project has yet been author- j
ized, however, and would take con- i
siderable time to construct.

Bread Increased
Cent a Loaf by
Company Here
, The General Baking Co. an
nounced yesterday that, effective
JBonday, the price of Its bread
would Increase 1 cent a loaf due
to recent rises in production costs.
New prices of the company's
"Bond" bread will be 10 cents a
loaf for white and rye and 11 cents
for whole wheat.
Such prices were anticipated by
the Office of Price Administration
and Civilian Supply last week when
it appealed to leading bakers to
keep increases to a maximum of
1 cent a loaf and. if possible,
to absorb additional operation costs
through curtailing promotion and
other expenses.
Leon Henderson, Opacs adminis
trator, said that increased prices
appeared to be justified In many
areas because of higher costs of
flour, labor and other production
expenses. But added, increases of
more than 1 cent a loaf did not
appear to be Justified in any
instance.
Britain and Germany
Warned by Argentina
On Propaganda
Activities Must Be Toned
Down or Bureous Will Be
Closed, Ministry Says
Bs the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 2.—Both
the British and German govern
ments were requested by the Ar
gentine Foreign Office today to
tone down the activities of their
propaganda bureaus in Argentina,
so that Argentina would not have to
close them.
The Foreign Ministry in notes to
both governments declared mate
rial published in Buenos Aires
"more or less" under the auspices οf
the British and German Embas
sies and picked up by police in a
campaign against anti-Argentine
activities had been found to con
tain "statements injurious and of
fensive to one side or the other" in
the European war.
Tranquility Held Affected. '
The notes added that these pub
lications thus "constitute propa
ganda which affects deeply the
tranquility and order of this neutral
country."
The notes pointed out the "con
venience of preventing intervention
In the press offices (of the embas
sies) in the distribution of these
publications," thus hinting that
such intervention be made unnec
essary.
The government meanwhile sup
pressed the "Alliance of National
ist Youth" on grounds that the
movement "has a totalitarian mil
itary character violating in fla
grant form the constitutional pre
cepts governing the life of our
country."
Action Follows Raid.
Thîs action followed a raid on
the German welfare culture move
ment· headquarters at Parana and
the arrest of some of its members.
The raid was made on complaint
of residents that secret military
drills were being held there at
night.
• The congressional committee in
vestigating anti-Argentine activi
ties disclosed tonight it had car
ried its inquiry to the Salta re
gion. on the Argentine-Bolivian
border, and found it to be "a
heretofore unsuspected area of to

were given.

F. D. I. C. Denied Interest
On Deposits It Insures
Β* the Associated Prrsi.
RUSSELLVILLE. Ark., Aug 2 —
The Federal Depoeit Insurance
Corp. is not entitled to collect In
terest on bank deposits insured by
it, Chancellor J. B. Ward of Pope
Chancery Court held in a ruling
announced today. ι
Described by court attaches as
the first decision of its kind in the
Nation, the ruling may form the
basis of a test case to be carried
to higher courts.
"It was not the legislative intent
of Congress to allow interest to be
collected by the P. D. I. C. upon
bank deposits insured by that
agency," Chancellor Ward said,
dismissing for want of equity the
F. D. I. C.'s suit for $3,685.64 inter
est on approximately $170,000 in in
sured deposits in the Merchants &
Farmers Bank of Atkins, Ark.
The Atkins bank closed in March,
1939, and the F. D. I. C. paid off
the depositors. Liquidators subse
quently repaid the F. D. I. C. in
full, the final settlement being made
last January. The P. D. I. C. sought
interest at β per cent on the full
amount of the insured deposits
from the date the bank closed until
the final settlement.

The suit was argued before Chan

Churchill's Narrow Escape
In Bristol Raid Disclosed
Prime Minister Next Day Demanded Bath
And Got One—In Gravel and Water
By SHEILAH GRAHAM.
(Special Correspondent of The 8tar and
North American Newspaper Alliance.)
BRISTOL, England, Aug. 2 —
Prime Minister Churchill was in the
Grand Hotel here at the height of
the worst raid on Bristol. While he
was in the hotel a bomb fell and
demolished a part of it.
I learned this hitherto unreported
fact on my arrival in blitzed Bristol.
This was the raid during which a
great number of people were killed
in one short street and business and
shopping buildings were reduced to
rubble of twisted iron girders.
Mr. Churchill sat through the
raid with his usual imperturbability,
smoking his usual cigar. But in the
morning when it was all over he said
to the hotel manager:
"I would like a bath, please."
Water Svsemt Damaged.
If he had asked for a flying car
pet the manager could not have
been more distracted. There was
no water in the hotel except on the 1
ground floor and basement. Bombs
had damaged the system supplying i
water upstairs. Mr. Churchill was
upstairs. But if the Prime Minister j
wanted a bath, the Prime Minister '
must have a bath.
So as they say in 9 movies out of
10, "Boil some hot water," com
manded the manager to his minions. I
Every spare Jug in the hotel was
requisitioned. Ditto every able
bodied man. And men and jugs,
and as an afterthought a milk
can, continued an unending pro- !
cession to the Prime Minister's tub
until there was enough water for
immersion.
And then the manager made a
hideous discovery. Not only was
the tub full of water, but there also
was much gravel as a result of the
bombs.
Gravel and Water Bath.
"We must use filtered water," said
the manager.
"No," said the Prime Minister,
who is a very busy man, "it Is now
or never."
And he took his bath in gravel
and water.
A general cleaning-up process Is
now going on in Bristol. Démoli- j
tion and salvage squads are at work
on ruined shop», offices and houses,
under which the victims of the
Easter holocaust were buried. Un
der one pile of bricks and dust they
found a woman and her baby. She
was feeding It when death struck
them both. No one can say for
certain exactly how many were
killed during the raids, but there
were a lot of funerals, the waitress
at my hotel tells me. She is mar
ried and has a husband in the home
guard and a daughter, Enid, 2'/3
years old.
"We take shelter under the stair- |
case of our house." she tells me, ι
"and we got a bit annoyed when a
bomb fell on our house. We heard
it touch the roof and my husband
shouted 'Look out!' I flung myself
over the baby so she wouldn't get
hurt. She cried and said, "I don't
like bombs. Mummie."
Shelter Used as Dining Table.
For people who prefer to stay at
home during air raids, Bristol au
thorities are giving free to those
with incomes less than £350 a new
Morrison shelter which can be used
as a dining table as well. It has a
steel top over which goes a table
cloth with steel legs and steel mesh
net sides. There is enough room
underneath for two mattresses.
The waitress is hoping to get her
daughter evacuated before the long
dark nights and the expected re
newal of the air blitz raids. She
put in her application four months
ago, but there is a Icing waiting list
and it is more difficult to evacuate
babies than children of school age |
who don't require a nurse.
I stopped for lunch at a pub be
tween Bristol and Weston. The
landlord insisted there was no short
age of beer, but that, contrary to
what Lady Astor told me a few days
ago, more people were drinking it.
Run Out of Beer Early.
Most of the public houses around
Bristol are closed until evening.
Then their supply usually runs dry
at 9 o'clock, an hour before closing
time. Several pubs save their beer
during the week and open on Satur
day and Sunday for a short but
glorious thirst quenching. The
landlord of one public house showed
me a small room where during air
raids he puts up 50-odd people, who
walk, cycle or drive from Bristol.
In Bristol there are huge cigarette
and chocolate factories, but the peo
ple of Bristol don't see much of them
unless, as a Bristol girl tells me,
"you have a brother, father or hus
band in the forces. They get ciga
rettes and chocolates and it's right
that they should, but lots of the
men don't like chocolate and they
send it to their girls, who give it to
their families."
Vigilantes to Speed
Freight Car Movements
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2—A growing
tightness of railroad freight cars
prompted the Midwest Shippers' Ad
visory Board today to organize more
than 100 vigilance committees to
expedite car movements.
The committees, scattered in 90
rail centers over five States, will
each be composed of 10 men rep
resenting the railroads, shippers and
freight receivers. They will spot un
necessary delays, investigate the j
causes and recommend faster
methods.
The Midwest territory includes
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, upper
Michigan and Western Indiana.
Restoration of capital punish
ment fer major civil crimes is being
