Japanese Ambassador Nomura at
the ambassador’s request).
U. S. embassy quarters had no
official knowledge of the Japanese
representations, which were dis
placed in afternoon papers. The
news stories avoided the word
“protest,” referring to the Japa
nese statement as a “representa
tion” or a “warning.”
Especially displeasing to Japa
nese, said Domei, was the fact that
the high octane fuel passing so
near is banned by the United
States for export to Japan.

RUSSIAN ARMY
SAID HOLDING
ON ALL FRONTS
(Continued From Page One)
pects a long war, it was announced
that the nation’s schools would
open Sept. 1 with 11,000,000 new
textbooks issued, 80,000 new teach
ers appointed, and a military train
ing program to be stressed.
S. A. Lozovsky, vice commissar
of foreign affairs, said the Red
air force had dropped millions of
leaflets behind the German, Fin
nish and Rumanian lines, each]
containing a pass which would ad
mit the bearer to the* Russian lines
if he wished to desert the inva
ders.
“Not Enough’
Lozovsky commented that this
sort of thing was not enough to
break the German military ma
chine, which he described as weak
ening but still relatively power
ful. He said, however, that “the
more blows the German army
takes from us and the more losses
it bears, the harder it is for the
German people to experience Hit
ler’s bloody adventures and the
faster will be the disintegration of
the front and rear of the German
army and the faster will be the
rout of Hitler’s Germany.”2

German flank movement from the

to bolster this impression by indi
cating the southern flank would

“The Russians probably as

North Carolina Sub Deb
Voted Glamor Girl No. 1
By FRANK K. KELLY
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—CTO—
The orchestra played “A Pretty
Girl Is Like a Melody” and
slight, shy and blonde Betty Cor
don of Raleigh, N. C., 18-year-old
daughter of a banker, became
the glamor girl of 1941 by vote
of 120 debutantes tonight at
cafe society’s rendezvous, the
Stork club.
Peter Arno, artist of the so
phisticated set, sat in a corner
reading: a magazine until the
moment came for him to total
up the ballots deposited by the
debs in a green-and-red ballot
box. Then he waved Miss Cor
don forward and began to dance
with her while the band made
soft music.
‘‘I thought glamor girls were
tall and dark,” she said. “Why,
I’m only five feet 1 1-2 Inches
tall and I only weight 100
pounds, so I didn’t think I had
a chance.”
Miss Cordon whispered that
her father, Robert W. Cordon,
a vice-president of the Manu
facturers Trust company here,
didn’t have any idea that she
was seeking the glamor girl
title.
"I’m going to have my coming
out party September 12 in Ra
leigh,” she said. "And then an
other one January 1 at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel. But what
I’m really interested in, you
know, are children. I think it’s
swell to be wrapped in glamor
but it scares me.”
She said she planned to study
this fall at the Child Education
foundation in New York city,
specializing in the psychology of
children, and that she hoped to
“be married some day and have
an indefinite number of kids.”
