"I can't do anything for vou; I'm not taking on any Jews' Silverman quoted Brown as saying. Brown's Attorney Jewish Mortimer Schwager, attorney who appeared for Brown, described himself to the court as a Jew and said he had represented the Schrader company. a division of the Scoville Manufacturing Company, for years.

"The charge is outrageous," Schwager declared. "No one can impute any but the best American. patriotic motives to the people who conduct the Schrader company." Former Magistrate Joseph Goldstein, representing Silverman, replied that he disagreed with that and sald he was "going down to Washington and ask the Government to cancel its contracts with the company." Silverman. who is 53 vears old. 1s a World War I veteran, who was wounded in the Argonne battle, and has a Purple Heart medal as well as several other decorations.

Schwager told the court that the reason the religion question was included in the questionnaire was that FBI agents had told the company to get complete records on all employes. He also declared that on the very day Silverman claims he was turned down, "a number of Jews were employed by the company. Solomon said use of the question was a mistake, one that he was 'at a loss to understand."

"If the charge is true I regard it as sabotage of the war effort.

To even ask such a question is psychologically disturbing and particularly serious at a time when we should remember we are all Americans and that we must sink or swim together."

Reds Gain South Of Stalingrad Continued from Page 1 to hold back a Russian attack.

The Nazis claimed the 100-tank attack was beaten off with destruction of 98 of the machines.) Stalin, it was revealed today, personally directed by telephone the organization of Stalingrad's defenses and ordered that all "panic mongers and cowards" be eliminated before the German assault began. was revealed by Alexander Chuyanov, secretary of the Stalingrad Communist party, in A special dispatch the government newspaper. Izvestia. said that Stalin telephoned him as the German attack was opening and offered a series of suggestions which the party organization carried out in perfecting the defense of the steel citythe same city whose defense was personally led by Stalin in the 1918 Civil War.1 Enemy Reserves Arrive Despite the success of Russian forces in driving the Rumanian troops from the villages south of Stalingrad, it was indicated that the major battle continued in the northwest sector. The Red Army organ.

Red Star. reported that "large enemy reinforcements" had arrived at the front for a "final desperate smash at the defenders." Front reports said that the Germans were attempting to synchronize a new effensive on Stalingrad with what may be their last drive before Winter toward the Grozny oilfields, in an effort to win domination of the lower Volga reaches and arrive at the Caspian shores. Such an achievement would prevent the Russians from employing the Caspian-Volga route for transport of oil and other vital supplies from the south. Nazi Progress Insignificant Front-line advices said that northwest of Stalingrad, where two German infantry divisions and two tank divisions had advanced slightly vesterday, pressure was a little more intense, but enemy progress was now insignificant." A critical situation prevailed, however, in a workers settlement in the northwestern part of Stalingrad. as well as in the central part of the city.

The Nazis constantly hurled new forces into battle. Bombers in waves of 70 smashed at the workers' settlement from dawn to sunset. Intermittently, tank forces, twice the size of those which attacked yesterday, were driving against Russian defenses. Nevertheless, the Germans failed to smash the defense except at individual points, and there their progress was measured in vards. Volga Fleet Guns Spread Havoc The guns of the Volga fleet were spreading havoc among the enemy's transport, and his communications difficulties were feflected in the fighting.

Yesterday, for example. the Germans made 906 air sorties northwest of Stalingrad. Along with bombs, they dropped barrels of oil. but it was fine oil intended for sewing machines. Lacking any other, they had been forced to use it.
