Flaming Stalingrad
Still Defies Germans
(Continued from page 1.)
In the Caucasus, however, the
"Germans claimed gains. 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,

measured In yards, the cost In
lives by tens of hundreds. Rus

Asserting that the stabilization

Thomas served notice that the

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

Germans were railing upon everv
means at their disposal in an at

submarines and planes had sunk

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.

of the railroad company that
crossing accidents are causing ex
pensive delays and damage to
wartime transportation. Trains
are running at Increased speeds,
and at more than normal fre
quency and the number of grade
crossing accidents are reported to
be steadily increasing, the court
was informed.

deavoring to provide a uniform
slop rule at all grade crossings

time maintain maximum trans

Chairman 'Poland (D-Cal)
of the house special committee

to allocate our manpower resourc

has come when some clear de
cision between army and indus
trial needs must be made."
"With a projected army of ten
to thirteen million, It is apparent
that many additional millions
must replace the men taken from
war Industry," he said. "Our man
power is limited."

proximately 40 per cent of the

no more comforts . . . except
what we simply must have if we

Automobiles Vital
As an example of what it
means to put victory ahead of
everything else, Nelson used the
American automobile.
"We have upwards of 25 mil

today. Our country has been re
built around those ears. ... If

"It is true," the officer stated,
"that we have secured enough

There are, however, several shifts
