Bid to Be Filed
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—(AP)—War department offi-
cials said today that the bulk of the army’s tank production
was threatened with immediate stoppage by a jurisdictional
dispute involving the Spicer Manufacturing company at To-
ledo, Ohio, and its subsidiary, the Hillside (Mich.) Steel
Products company.
• AFL and CIO unions are involved in the controversy.
The Spicer company makes about 70 percent of the
transmissions for all the army's tanks and also for most of the half-
tractor and‘jeep” combat vehicles,................
The Toledo concern reported that unless there was a settlement it
would have to halt work tonight on transmissions for the military
vehicles and that materials were on hand for about a week’s further
— —-----——------------manufacture of parts for the tanks.
SAILORS' CHOICE
Spicer employs about 2.200 work-
ers.
The Toledo plant was said to be
involved in the dispute only indi-
rectly. It, has a contract with the
CIO automobile workers union.
The Hillsdale company, however,
has a contract with the rival AFL
automobile workers union, which
recently won a labor relations board
election there.
Despite the AFL victory, the
dispute between the rival unions
continued at Hillsdale, and rioting
this week resulted to temporary
closing of the plant at the request
of local officials.
Water Plentifu
ut Sales Low
As a result of a near-record rainy
year, the city of Abflene has great
quantities of water to sell but
probably has lost $25,000 in revenue
because of the moisture.
That was an off-hand observation
this morning from L. A. Grimes,
forts to obtain additional
class-
rooms and a junior high school
to care for sharply increased en-
rollment were reviewed this week
by Walter E. Jarrett, president of
the board
The school board has de-
voted much time and thought
to our school housing prob-
lem” said Jarrett. "We are try-
ing to meet the problem as
economically and as equitably
and fairly to all of the people of
the city as possible. We are
hopeful that the public will
assist us in any way with advice
and cooperation because the
board’s objective and that of
the patrons of the schools is
the same—to do the best we
can for all of the children.”
The board at present is awaiting
formal presidential approval of a
PWA grant of $186,000, which has
been approved by the PWA finance
and engineering section and rec-
ommended to the president for ap-
proval. This grant would be con-
tingent upon the city’s appropria-
tion of $15,000 cash and the voting
of $100,000 in bonds by the citizens.
$200,000 JUNIOR HIGH----—
The three items—the grant, the
cash and proceeds of the proposed
bond issue—would total $301,000.
Ofthis—amount,approximately
$36,000 would be used to build ad-
ditional classrooms at elementary
schools The remainder would be
used to buy a site for a junior
high school building, erect the
building, buy equipment . for the
junior high and the new element-
ary classrooms, pay expenses of the
bond election and architect’s fees.
Jarrett estimated approximately
$200,000 would be available for
actual construction of a junior
high school building
History of the board’s efforts to
cope with the enlarged enrollment
was reviewed in the interview with

Press Demanding
Britain Aid Soviet
LONDON. Oct 10.—(UP)— Newspaper demands for immediate
British action to relieve Nazi pressure on Russia reached an almost hys-
terical pitch today with assertion, that "the peak crisis of the war” has
arrived.
Every newspaper in London took up the cry for government, action,
but there was no indication that Prime Minister Winston Churchill had
decided on any step, or that Britain was capable of any mover which
might slow the Nazi advance on Moscow.
.An authoritative Russian source, underlining the urgency of Soviet
needs, said that, given a choice between Anglo-American supplies and
r-la British attack on the continent
anywhere from Narvik to the bay
of Biscay, Russia would choose the
latter.

invasion armies were still advanc-
ing "over mountains of German
corpses" in the Bryansk sector of*
the nine-day-old battle for Mos-
cow. and simultaneously the Brit-
ish radio reported a new threat de-
veloping almost dur west of the
USSR capital.
The BBC said Nazi troops were
striking toward the upper Volga
town of Rzhev, 135 miles west of
Moscow, thereby stretching the
main Soviet defense line into a
270-mile arc through Vyazma and
Bryansk to Orel.
PEACE OFFER REPORTED
The Germans reported “forward
progress along the entire front"
and sald one "kettle ” of Soviet re-
sistance after another was being
wiped out------
As the battle raged violently to-
ward a climax, but still without
a clear-cut decision, reports cir-
culated widely in Europe that Ger-
many had offered an armistice to
Russia.
A non-axis informant with highly
reliable connections said the terms
had been transmitted through Ja-
pan and Bulgaria and that Russia
was giving them serious considera-
tion because of her critical situa-
tion.
Authoritative Russian quar-
ters in London, however, said
there to not one vestige of
truth in the report. The Ger-
mans know we would not «-•
repl an armistice if it were of-
-fered."
In Berlin, military spokesmen
also vigorously denied reports of
peace feelers.
“Axis-connected informants to Eu-
rope only a short time ago said
Germany would offer peace before
winter set in on the Russian front.
The Germans were now hammer-
ing at Moscow from three and per-
haps four main sectors, possibly
attempting to surround the Rus-
sian capital as they circled Warsaw
in 1929.
Reports circulated in Berlin, of-
ficially unconfirmed but not de-
nied, that Nazi troops had cap-
tured the important railway town
of Tula, only 130 miles south of
Moscow
MOTOR COLUMN ROUTED
In the seesaw fighting around
Vyazma, 135 miles southwest of
Moscow, the Russians admitted the
Germans had scored gains in sev-
eral sectors, but said picked Red
army troops were now moving up to
meet them, reinforcing units which •

the Nazi onslaught
