All that remains to be done is less than 3000 feet of invert or floor concreting in the tunnel. The tunnel proper was completed last week. It is expected bids will be ad vertised soon for another unit of the aqueduct soon also for work on the Provo reservoir canal. Bids were recently opened for the first unit of the Weber-Provo diversion canal, and awarding of the bid is expected to be announced an-nounced in Washington, D.

GERMANS (Continued from Page One) also be of aid to Germany, as would a Japanese attack on Si beria Pound Russians Hard - The German propaganda and diplomatic move came as Nazi armies pounded hard against the Russians, particularly on the ap proaches- to Moscow. Neutral Turkey offered her good offices to mediate between all bel ligerents, but there seemed no prospect that this offer springing spring-ing from Turkey's precarious position as a lone neutral surrounded sur-rounded by warring powers would be accepted. German reports claimed new break-throughs on the upper Donets Don-ets river, apparently around Kharkov, Kha-rkov, which has been in their hands for some days. An important import-ant Nazi victory also was claimed northwest of Moscow, where a strong defended Soviet town was said to have been won. Possibly the most dangerous Nazi thrust in . the Moscow area was an advance in the Tula sector, sec-tor, 100 miles south of the Russian Rus-sian capital, which Soviet reports re-ports admitted was , unchecked despite heavy fighting. On the Rostov front the Russians Rus-sians claimed to have, halted German Ger-man progress by blowing up a dam. They reported that Nazi forces were less active on that front, and appeared to be entrenching en-trenching on the ; Rostov approaches. ap-proaches. The apparent approach of crisis on both the eastern military front and in the Far Eastern war of nerves coincided with big-scale British air attacks that started fires in Hamburg and Bremen and blasted Italian targets in the Naples and Sicily sectors, and with statements in the London press that the United States was near war wih Germany because of the sinking of the destroyer Reuben James. .

X WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 HE The United Mine Workers or America (CIO today charged that failure of the administration to adopt a "forthright, under standable labor policy ... is re sponsible for " the great majority of work stoppages generating po litical hysteria." In an editorial entitled "Labor Refuses to be the Goat" published in the UMWA Journal, the union charged: That the "footsteps of this failure" lead right to the White House "where incompetent bu reaucrats spill their; ill advice." That the department of labor has become a "mere .clerical institution" in-stitution" for certification of labor disputes to the mediation board. That the mediation board has become a "subservient council, re duced to fronting 'for the wiles and incompetency of (Associate OPM Director Sidney), Hill, who never succeeded in becoming a journeyman in his own trade. That HiUman admits the is "the guy that knows all, and who is responsible for all." -( HiUman is on leave as president of the Amalagamated Clothing Workers and is a former CIO vice president. "Not one single proposal made by the administration since defense de-fense production began,"' the editorial edi-torial said, "has embraced an intelligent, in-telligent, workable program, un der which trained management of industry and responsible, capable leadership of labor, could even begin to work out a solution of the manifold problems besetting the nation's constantly changing production shifts." ELECTION (Continued from Page One) Hall, Sr., John W. McAdam, Ralph H. Peters and George S. Young have publicly pledged their support to Mr. Robertson and Mr. Swapp. To what extent these defeated candidates influence influ-ence the votes they received in the primary remains to be seen. General opinion is that the voting vot-ing at the Tuesday election will be from 1000 to 2500 votes heavier heav-ier than that at the primary. I. G. Bench, city recorder, announced an-nounced Saturday that approximately approxi-mately 25 absentee ballots had been cast. "The polls will be open from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. $480,061 Gadget For 1941 Set Up For Utah County A tentative Utah county budget for 1942 totaling J4S0.861.05 Saturday Sat-urday had been filed with the county commission by Marcellus Nlelson, county auditor. The budget, based on requests from the heads of the various departments, de-partments, is $15,197.22 more than the final budget of $465,633.83 for 1941. A public budget hearing will be set by the commission, ; which X must adopt the final budget by December 31. . As the county is now entirely debt free, an item of $52,000 for bond sinking and $2500 for interest inter-est on- bonds in- the 1941 budget is eliminated in the tentative budget for 1942. However, this is more than offset off-set by. increases in some departments. depart-ments. Major increase is for public pub-lic welfare where the figure for 1942 is $140,000 compared with $103,000 this year. The increase was based on this year's figure which is far insufficient to - take care of the county's portion of the welfare costs, Mr. Nlelson said. Under the welfare program the county furnishes 15 per cent of the total, the state 35 per cent and the federal government 50 per cent. Four new funds "have been set up for 192, including a weed fund of $15,000, a nursing service fund of $3030, a forest fire fund of $300,: and $500 for purchase of equipment. The election expense fund for 1942 is $17,000 as listed in the tentative budget compared to $3,- 000 last year. The hike is nec essary in view of the 1942 general election, the auditor pointed out. Following is a comparison of the 1942 tentative budget with the 1941 budget figures, the '42 figures being listed first: Total general fund, $181,055.05, $155,589.50, this being broken down as follows: County commissioners, commis-sioners, $8500, same; treasurer, $15,116.05, $14,784.50; assessor, $14,750, $14,490; clerk, $8120, $7600; auditor, $7155, $6635; re corder, $11,040, $9930; attorney, $5790, $5525; surveyor, $3000, same; sheriff, $20,150, $22,200.
