Nazis Claim New Advance Into Crimea
Defenders Declared Driven Back to Mountains

BERLIN, Nov. 6 (AP)--Russia's Crimean defenders retired into the fastnesses of the 80-mile-long Yaila mountain range tonight, pursued by German and Rumanian troops "who defeated isolated forces and pushed through on a broad front to the Black sea coast between Yalta and Feodosiya," the German high command announced.

"In the mountains east of Sevastopol the enemy resistance also is broken," the communique added.

For still another day German reports focused attention on the Crimea. Other eastern operations were mentioned only in the report of a light air attack on Moscow, on Gorki, 250 miles to the east, and on Leningrad in the northwest.

Clean-up To Be Brief

The southern Crimea was described as a hopelessly entangled Russian flight, and the impression was given that the mountain clean-up would be a short operation preceding a major German swing eastward toward the Caucasus. 

But these same dispatches admitted that the Yalia mountains extending from Sevastopol on the west almost to Feodosiya in the east were honeycombed with entrenched Russians.

Dive-bombers ripped these forces both with bombs and machine-gun fire, the Germans said.

Nazi planes also were reported pounding every Soviet ship spotted near the peninsula. An authorized military commentator said 20 Russian fleet units and 34 merchant vessels totaling 157,000 tons had been destroyed since Sept. 15.

Attack on Shipping

Thirty-six additional merchant ships and six Red fleet units were reported damaged.

"At Leningrad," the war bulletin said, "the opponent's attempts to break out were repulsed. The heaviest army batteries battered war vital objectives of Leningrad and enemy ship traffic in the Finnish bay. Two warships and one freighter were hit severely."

German reports of general air activity in a 24 hour period on the Soviet front said score was: 55 Soviet planes shot down to three German.


Rueben James Toll Put at 100
List Is Revised Third Time by Navy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (AP)--The navy, still checking and rechecking the list of casualties and survivors on the torpedoed destroyer Reuben James, reported tonight that its records showed 100 officers and men were lost.

The addition tonight of one name to the list of men known to have been aboard the destroyer was the third revision in the casualty-survivor list.

The first two revisions removed six names form the list of those previously reported lost and one name from those of the survivors. The navy department explained that the seven men had been erroneously reported on board the ship when a torpedo hit it on the night of Oct. 30-31.

One man was also added to the list of survivors though he had previously not been reported aboard.

Against this happier accounting, the navy added to the roster of dead the names of nine men who had not previously been reported aboard the ship.


Self Respect Spurs Man Against Bandits

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (AP)--Seventy-year-old Morris Rubin, told by two bandits to put his hands up, obliged--by knocking one of the men on his ear after taking away his gun.

Although the bandit retrieved his weapon and beat Rubin on the head, the storekeeper stubbornly fought back until the two men fled his store empty-handed.

Funds for China Relief

[[image]]

DOLLARS FOR THE RELIEF of her homeland were presented to Miss Lee Ya Ching, China's first woman flier, in a series of parties and meetings held for her during her visit to Toledo Wednesday and yesterday. Shown here is Mrs. Frank Stuart Lewis, chairman of the women's division of the Toledo committee for the United China Relief, presenting Miss Lee with a donation.

Aviatrix Describes Needs of Chinese
Medical Facilities Head List, Miss Lee Tells 200 at Dinner

China's needs, and the ways American can help her were outlined by Miss Lee Ya Ching last night at a dinner given by the Toledo club to about 200 prominent men and women, most of them members.

Miss Lee, first Chinese aviatrix, told her audience that the $5,000,000 sought by the United China Relief forces in the United States is a small amount compared to other amounts being spent for defense and relief here. But the favorable rate of exchange--20 to one--will permit the purchase of a vast amount of materials in China with this money.

Medical Needs Greatest

She said of all China's needs, medical needs are the most urgent. When the war broke out, she said, there were only 10,000 doctors in China to care for a population of 450,000,000. Most of the hospitals were in the coast cities, which quickly fell into Japanese hands. Anesthetics are at a premium, she said.

American funds are being used effectively in the care of about 30,000 war orphans, Miss Lee said. They are being used also to set up small co-operative industrial ventures to replace industries captured or destroyed by the Japanese. Small pieces of machinery have been carried 1,500 miles on the backs of men and women to the interior and set up again, to manufacture for China, she said.

Education Pressed

The Chinese government, since the war started, has undertaken mass education, and about 90,000 former illiterates now can read and write a standard vocabulary of about 1,000 basic Chinese characters.

American support is indispensable to China, she said; and she added that China means to win her independence from Japan.

Harold H. Hartley, managing editor of The Toledo Times, presided and introduced Miss Lee.

Welders' Strike Termed Outlaw
Hurts Defense Work, Hillman Says

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (AP)--Sidney Hillman, associate director general of the Office of Production Management, tonight denounced the strike of independent welders at there California aircraft plans as "an outlaw, wildcat proposition and a definite interference with national defense."

The striking welders at the Lockheed and Vega plants in Burbank, Calif., and the Consolidated plant at Sand Diego have threatened to call out workers in sympathy with six other aircraft factories, but Hillman predicted they would have little success if such an attempt were made.

The welders' strike was called in an effort to gain recognition for the United Aircraft Workers, an independent union.

Hillman, in referring to the walkout as an "outlaw" one, said:

"We propose to give these companies every bit of support that is possible. There is no question that those back of the strike are interfering with national defense.

"I hope those welders who are on the inside will remian on the inside and not give support to this effort to mislead them."
