They 'said they had captured the towns of Terek and Vladlmirovka in their thrust toward the oil wealth of Grozny. Terek, 30 miles be yond the earlier Mozduk battle field, is only 25 miles northwest of Grozny. Vladlmirovka is BO miles northwest of Grozny and approximately the same distance from the shores of the Caspian sea. Russian accounts said repeated German attacks In the Mozdok legion and along the Black sea coast road south of Novorosisk had been repulsed. Door-Die Defense. Russian forces kept grimly to their diversion assault on the German lines from Voronezh to the Leningrad front, but it was at Stalingrad that the future po sitions of the great battle-locked armies was being determined. There, through the flaming night and the thundering day, (lay, the gains of either side were measured In yards, the cost In lives by tens of hundreds. Rus sian dispatches said the Germans poured In ever more reserves In a delorm.'.ned attempt-to wid en their penetration into the smouldering city from the north west. The attackers still were held In I he ravines and valleys outside the city at some of its approaches. Izvcstia declared, pridefully: . "The Hitlerites are forced to rec ognize that never before have mey met such difficulties In their nflensivp as near Stalin grad." Anti-Inflation Bill Presented in Senate (Continued from page 1.) agricultural committee tomor row: "Parity prices and comparable prices for any agricultural com modities shall be determined as mithorizcd by existing law, but also shall Include all farm la bor." Thomas estimated that rule, If applied, would make the colling prices of farm products approxi mately 112 per cent of parity, as based on the Index figures for the period 1K)919M. President Roosevelt is on rec ord as "unalterably opposed" to any change in the present meth od of computing parity.

Democratic Leader Barkley, of Kentucky, prevented Its reference to the agriculture committee. Asserting that the stabilization legislation had been under the Jurisdiction of the banking com mittee, Barkley said It was "a little odd" to refer amendments to that committee's bill "to an other committee of his senate." Thomas served notice that the amendment would lie brought up for debalo during the considera tion of the bill. Munich Devastated in Raid by British Planes (Continued from page 1.) over England last night. Two raiders which dived out of the clouds this morning smashed an apartment building and damaged a residential section of tin east coast town. Opposing land forces were quiet Into the new week In the Egyptian desert war. Air activ ity continued on both sides. The British announced that fires vis ible 30 miles were set in a Sat urday night bombing of the axis supply port of Tobruk. The Ital ians said Sicily also was raided. Nazi Warship on Prowl. Germany's Mightiest battleship, the Tirpltz, Kistorsntp of the sunk en Bismarck, was reported tod' to have left the shelter of Trond helm fjord under cover of nazi warplanes, challenging American and British naval power in a hunt for allied convoys carrying aid to Russia on the hazardous Arctic route to Murmansk. The report heard in London that the Tirpltz was on the hunt again off Norway was the first word of the battleship since last July 9 when the Russians said one of their submarines scored two torpedo hits on her In Arctic wat ers where she lurked along the convoy route. The great battleship Is roughly comparable In size and guns to Britain's new King George class ships at least two and possibly four of them ready for action and the United States navy's new battleships Washington and North Carolina. Observers In England said that the risk of the Tirpltz showed the Germans were railing upon everv means at their disposal in an at tempt to rut the allied sea route to Murmansk. The German high command claimed only yesterday that their submarines and planes had sunk .'W merchant ships totaling 270, 000 tons and destroyed or dam aged six escorting warships In a six day attack on a British and American convov in Arctic wat ers. The claim was characterized in London as exaggerated, although unolllclal British sources said losses on the Murmansk route over many months undoubtedly had been considerable.
