German broadcasts recorded by the Associated Press said the st- tack on Tcmryuk, on the German left flank. was launched without any cessation in Red Army attacks on Mrimskaya s point between Tamryuk and Novorossisk.

“This is meant to be not only a diversion, but aims to lit the Ger- man forces." said Bcr in.

WASHINGTON, June 3 (AP)- President Roosevelt, actin as war- time Commander-in-Cbie for the United States today ordered some 500,000 striking mine workers to return to work Monday-and dras- tic measures were reported in store in case they disobey.

Backing to the imit the War Labor Board which John L. Lewis has defied. Mr. Roosevelt said when the miners return to their "war du- ties" disposition of the dis ute “will forthwith proceed, under he juris- diction of the War Labor Board and in accordance with the custom- ary and established procedures governing all cases of this sort."

The President made no mention of what he would do if the strike continued-in fact his terse stato- ment did not seam to recognize even a possibility that the order could be ignored.

Responsible sources said he was ready to resort to use oi troops. the draft laws and other measures if necessary.

The President's order, issued late in the day, apparently ushered in the long-awaited showdown with Lewis. who as president of the United Mine Workers. has refused to recognize the War Labor Board's Jurisdiction and has called it "ms- lignantly” prejudiced.

HAMILTON. Ont. June 3, - (C?) — An appeal for extension of’ Pres- byterian Church work in Western Canada was made today before the 69th General Assembly of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada by Rev. J°hn Hilfiiwick. Saskatoon. He was 5uPP0rtlng a. recommendation of the General Board cf Missions that Synodical Missionaries be appointed in Alberta. Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario.

Caution in dealing uith this rec ommendation was urged by Rev. W. B. McOdrum. Forest, Ont, and Rev. Frank Lawson. Kitchener. Ont. Mr. 1\fcOr1rum said there was very little w Show now for the thousands of dollars that had been poured into the West.

This touched off a spark that brought a score or more of Western Ministers and elders to their feet. to plead the cause of Presbytcrians 0n the crab-ice. the Pacific Coast and in the Northwest.

Rev. T. H. McAillster. Victoria. who has served in Western Canada sincc 192.2. warned that many West- ern Ministers were discouraged and tempted to go into shipyards or war work because of their low so]. dries.

"Om year. when salary on a Wes. tern field was supposed to be $1,300, Wlilwvt a moose, I received only $1.000. Yet 1 have stayed with the church in the West," he said.

Four Issues.

LONDON, June 3 (CP)—New optimism that the next few crucial months may speed the Axis downfall was ex- pAGSSEd in Britain today as Allied reports represented the Germans working to bolster Balkan defence walls weakened by the dynamite and rifles of guerilias.

“Theend of the war may be much closer than some of us imagine,” ihe Earl of Selborne, minister of economic warfare, told a civic meeting at East Sheen. The war hinges on four issues which may be decided in the next four

months, he said, and “if we do may end rapidly.

well in all of them” the war

The issues, he continued, are the battle of the Atlantic, the “impending German attack in Russia,” the Allied in- vasion of the continent and the Allied bombing offensive

now under way.

From Madrid came the opinion that Berlin might not launch an offensive against Russia this sum- mer but woulc: concentrate instead upon British shipping. The submar- ine campaign against the United Nations. the dispatch quoting the morning paper ABC said, “may be bile explanation of the insistent rumors from Berlin itself that there will be no (German) offensive on the eastern front this summer but that all efforts will be directed against the Maritime communic- ations of Great Britain."

Meanwhile Axis concern with an- other sector of its defence appeared in the Tass (Russian) report that Field Marshal Gen. Sicmmund Wil- helm List, Nazi lightning war ex- pert. Ami been transferred from Russia to the Balkans.
