—The fate of Moscow bung in
the balance tonight a» Ger-
man spearheads probed deep-
er into the Russian defenses
around Klin and Tula, but a
shattering Red army offensive
northwest of Rostov routed
Axis armies and gained np to
S3 miles, Soviet front reports
said.
The Kreralin announced by
radio that the Battle for Mos-
cow had entered a decisive
stage and called on the Red
army to defend the hard-press-,
ed capital at all costs against
a numerically superior enemy.
At the same time the offi-
cial spokesman estimated that
the battle bad cost the Ger-
mans more men than they last
st Verdun in the World war
—300,000—and admitted that
at ghastly xpense they still
were edgfai - in toward the
city. j
The meat critical sectors
were at Klin, SI miles north-
west of Moscow, and Tula;
110 miles south, where Mar-
shal Fedor Yon Bock’s me-
chanized forces stormed
through a hurricane of Soviet
fire to extend J:he German pin-
cers arms, the Soviet informa-
tion bureau reported.
After German hammer
blows had beaten back the
Russians at Mozhaisk, 80 miles
west of Moscow, tioviet-msa-
, ned -British tanks swarmed in
for their baptism of fire and
checked the advance, achiev-
ing “relative” stabilization of
the sector.
Despite the acknowledgment
of critical situations on the de-
fense arc before Moscow, ’a
Pravda dispatch said that in
nine days of the mightiest bat-
tling of the war the Germans
had “failed to reach close to
the approaches of Moscow
anywhere.”
The Red army drive north-
west of Rostov was'haBed as
one of the most resounding
successes of the entire war.

(By United Press)
President Roosevelt moved
to avert a nationwide railway
strike Tuesday by ordering a
re-examination of labor wage
gain demands by his special
five-member fact-finding
board. ,
Administration leaders call-
ed simultaneously for legisla-
tion curbing defense strikes,
and in three separate actions
labor disputes imperiled pro-
duction on defense goods.
1. A general walkout of
AFL machinists crippled 400
plants in the St. Louis area,
spreading to production work-
ers at two major aircraft fac-
tories holding 3104.300,000 In
military orders, and affecting
another 3100,000,000 in orders
at machine and tool plants.
2. More than 4,000 Pacific
coast welders ordered a strike
ballot Wednesday threatening
12 shipyards engaged in pro-
duction on 3672,000,000 in de-
fense contracts.
S. United Automobile
Workers (CIO) scheduled a
vote Tuesday night on strike
action at the South Bend, Ind.,
plant of the Bendix aircraft
corp.
Railway labor and manage-
ment representatives confer-
red day-long with Mr. Roose-
velt Tuesday in connection
with the threatened Dec. 7
strike of 350,000 operating
trainmen. Afterward, Mr.
Roosevelt said the dispute is-
sues had been referred again
to the emergency fact-finding
board whose original com-
promise recommendations had
been rejected by the 19 stand-
ard unions.
The board was ordered to
report before Dec. 1. It was
assumed the board would in-
vestigste methods of increas-
ing previous wage boost rec-
ommendations. A 74 per
cent gain for 350,009 operat-
ing trainmen and a 1SH per
cent hike for 8*0,000 non-op-
erating workers.

IS IEXT OM MET •
College Station, Tex.—Cot-
ton crop insurance is the next
big issue for Texas farmers,
according to Donald L Coth-
ran, state cotton insurance su-
pervisor.
Taking precedence over cot-
ton insurance this fall have
been rush orders for 1942 spe-
cial allotments for Food-For-
FYeedom pledges throughout
the state, Cothran explained.
When increased production
of foods in the national de-
fense program were called
for, connty AAA offices faced
the gigantic task of "issuing
1942 cotton, wheat, rice, pea-
nut and Irish potato allotments
to Texas fanners by Nov. 3.
Special allotments under AAA
farm .programs usually reach
farmers by early spring, Coth-
ran said in pointing out that
ail decks had to be cleared
for Food-For-Freedom pledges
which got underway in Texas
Nov. 1,
County listing sheets estab-
lishing preliminary crop yields
and premium rates are being
received in the state office with
more expected shortly, the in-
surance supervisor explained.
After county data have
been approved in the state
and regional crop insurance
iffices, Texas cotton fanners
will be in position to take out
insurance on next year's crop,
he said.
Under the program, cotton
farmers may insure 75 percent
or 59 percent of their estab-
lished yields against all' un-
avoidable hazards. Total losses
will be paid whan they occur
and partial losses after pick-
ing, Cothran explained.

tomers. [
Q. Federal taxes have In-
creased. Why are people also
urged to buy Defense Savings
Bonds and Stamps?
A. Because the country
faces tha greatest danger is its

the problem* likely to arise
when defense spending ends.
