He revealed that Marshal Kle-

ably some distance to the rear.

Lozovsky reported that the Ger-
man lines average about 60 miles
from Moscow. He said the Rus-
sians hold about hal: the city of
Kalinin, 100 miles north of Mos-
cow, that Mozhaisk constantly is
fought over and that the German
advance has not penetrated far
north of Orel. /
Some Russian reports estimat-
ed the Germans have lost 300,000
men in the 23 dayo of fighting be-
fore Moscow.
Lozovsky admitted that the Ger-
mans continue to advance east of
Tagangog and against the defenses
of Rostov and other reports indi-
cated that the Germans are not

tov that they stand before Khar-
kov.
ko's shift to the southern sector
reflected Russian belief that the
south will be the scene of the main
fighting this winter.
There were indications that the
Russian front already was being
affected by the gradual movement
of cold weather southward. There
have been few reports of action
of any consequence in the last few
weeks from the Murmansk and
far northern front. The Leningrad
front then became inactive. Now
if the Nazi drive on Moscow proves
definitely to be halted, that front
may follow its predecessors into
inactivity with military attention
shifting sharply to the south.
British military commentators,
however, warned that the danger
was far from over for Moscow.

AUSTIN. (UP) —Government
demands for accountants to figure
tax assessments and industry’s de-
mand for them to adjust business
to new taxes have created a two-
way need for accountants that
threatens to exhaust the supply,
Dean J. A. Fitzgerald of the Uni-
versity of Texas business school
said today.
"When the new tax schedule
gets into full swing, accountants
and auditors will work an early-
to-rise and late-to-bed schedule,"
Dr. Fitzgerald predicted. He an-
ticipates a peak demand by next
February.
Business machines, he declared,
will be. more widely used.
As an indication of the trend,
Dean Fitzgerald reported that
every student of the largest class
ever graduated from the Universi-
ty business school already has a
job.

Davies also suggested that the
industry might place its case for
a price uplift before the public
as well as the government.
“For the public hs been led to
believe that the rate of recovery
of our known oil reserves is great-
er than most of us in the oil indus-
try believe possible,” he said. "If
the public has not the facts, or has
the wrong facts, the industry has
some work to do.”
Surveying the results of the
IPAA convention, W. R. Ramsey,
an Oklahoma independent and a
leader in the price increase cam-
paign, said he believed that higher
crude postings were “just around
the corner.”
“But how far around the corner
remains to be seen," he said.
A resolution adopted by the
IPAA indicated that an increase
of 10 to 15 cents a barrel had
been suggested in some quarters
during the meeting. The resolu-
tion specifically disapproved an
increase that small, and individual
reports indicated that it was gen-
erally disfavored.
A boost of 25 to 50 cents a bar-
rel, with the latter figure most
strongly favored, will be sought
by the industry if its members
can reach the point of making a
definite decision on the price, it
was reported.

At Findlay, O., 600 AFL em-

violated a union shop provision.
The NDMB was expected to an-

It made public an agreement
between the UAW-CIO and the
Hendey Machine Co., Torrington,
Conn;, on an “incentive wage
plan” providing 20 per cent wage
increases for 1,429 employes as a
means of speeding up production
of vital machine tools. Workers
who had, asked a 50 per cent wege
increase ended a 17-day strike at
the plant Sept. 22 at the board’s
request.
Developments at Bendix and
Seattle offered most immediate
threats to defense production, as
apparnt peace was reached at the
Great Lakes Steel Products Co.,
Ecorse, Mich.
In its third day, the Welders'
strike, crippling work at five
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., ship-
yards, loomed largest among ex-
isting defense disputes. At Seat-
tle, the King County Selective
Service Board began to reclassify
as 1-A, draft age welders among
the 1,300 on strike within its juris-
diction. The men formerly had
been deferred because of employ-
ment essential to defense. -_____
The Council of Welders and
Burners,, which called the walk-
out to force demands for an au-
ttonomous welders’ union within
the American Federation of Labor, .
said today that their strike soon
would be'supported by sympathy
walkouts in five other cities. The
walkout already has spread to
small firms in the Puget Sound
area.
Excepting the Ecorse, Mich.,
settlement, there was no apparent
abatement of strife on the de-
fense labor front despite recent
appeals from the President and
the highest defense officials for
complete inter-union and labor-
management harmony in the In-
terest of the armament program.
The eight-day strike at Great
Lakes Steel Products, fourth to
curtail production of high tensile
steel in as many months, was
terminated by a back to work
vote last night by 2,000 members
of the CIO steel workers organiz-
ing committee.
The settlement, although pro-
visional as was a former one that
collapsed, sent the first of 8,100
workers into the plant. The peace
proposal was offered by the CIO
United Automobile Workers
Union, 100,000 of whose members
were threatened with layoffs if
the strike continued.
The dispute centered around
the strikers' objection to wage
scales agreed upon by their union
and the company.

workers have been on strike since
Sept. 29, without, however, sub-

The injunction move was the
company’s answer to picketing
yesterday by 2,000 strikers and
sympathizers. Four CIO members
were injured in a melee that en-
sued when 500 non-strikers drove
through the picket lines.
