"The Germans made several ot- tacks on Russian positions, throw- ing new forces into the battle." it

said. "Our troops repulsed the ene- i my attacks."

The Toss news agency said in an earlier broadcast announcement that the Germans "at the cost of tremendous sccffices" liad made slight gains beyond Mozhaisk at Taganrcg, on tlrrldflickiea relic

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 _. (APJ- President Roosevelt in- dlcated to a press conference today that the Canadian and United States nuvics, in event. of an attack on this hemis- phere, probably would use At- lantic ports jointly. |

Asked specifically whether the American Navy had taken com- mand nt’ the Canadian port of Halifax. Mr. Roosevelt said he had secn something to that ef- fect in a Canadian prlpcr but that therc was nothing to it.

While there is no prospect. of_ anything being done immediate- ly, Mr. Roosevelt said that of course the joint Canadian-A- merican defence board has been considering joint use of defence facilities in the event of- an attack. lle said ‘he sup- posed the board had mentioned flaiitax and Toronto and he knew they had discussed‘ Chi- cago.

Ile avoided a direct reply to a qilesilnn as to whether the United Slates would take over protection of the Canadian sea- board if the Canadian fleet moved cast oi‘ Iceland. Ilc mere- ly commented that it would be ratlicr rough cast of Iceland. and he did not know what bases could be used.

There are intImai-lcns Lom Gcsman as well as othe: sources to back up the growing impres- 8192i that the weight of Nazi at- tack in Russia is shifting from -- Mcscow southward to the 1w- er reaches of the Donets-Dcn Basin.

Capture of stalino, an import- ant industrial tlvwn in that urea, ls claimed by Hitler's headquarters. While that rap- resents o new three-t to R0:- tov, 100 miles southeast, end to theDonets Valley beyond it, also signifies that the Germ- ans have failed to crack through to Rostov on the short and di- iect coastal route from ‘Pagan-

rog.

Stallno is 80 miles northwest of Tagani-cg. where the Genn- ans claimed to hive forced their wiry to within 30 miles of Hrs- tov several days n80 but report- ed no further progress sncc

Despite German boasts that Russian armies on the sou h- em flanlr of the line were routed at the time of the Nazi bteak-through to Taganrog. it geemer clear that Red forces have milled west of Rnstov for a new stand. That has forced the Germans and their various allies to expcnd their front in the south .
