NAZIS OCCUPY NALCHIK.
DRIVE FOR NEW GOAL
. MOSCOW, Nov. 3. (API
A force of 50,000 German and
Rumanian infantry, armored
troops and sailors edged forward
today in a narrow sector south
east of Nalchik, but tile enemy
was reported on the defensive In
other parts of that flaming Cau
casus battlefron'.
The main nazi thrust, which
has forced a red army withdrawal
from Nalchik Itself, apparently
was aimed at Ordzhonlkldze,
some GO miles away on the mili
tary road leading In the Georgian
pass through the Caucasian
mountains.
The army newspaper Red Star
said the C.ermans, weakened liy
enormous losses at Stalingrad,
were unable to mount a gener
al offensive In the Caucasus and
were throwing their full avail
able strength into the compara
tively local udvance below Nal
chik. Instead of carrying on their
previously-favored non stop offen
sive tactics, the newspaper said,
the Germans now are taking a
breathing spell after each as
sault In order to bring up rein-
lorcements.
The Caucasus front amounts to
only one-fifth of the whole Rus
sian front. Red Star pointed out,
adding that "even there the Ger
mans have been powerless re
cently to retain the Initiative in
nil sectors, with the result that
while attacking on some posi
tions the Germans have been
forced to lake the defensive on
others."
Stalingrad Picture Brighter.
The gloomy picture of develop
ments In the southernmost of the
combat theaters was relieved,
however, by announcement of
fresh soviet gains In the 10 week
old battle of Stalingrad.
Despite reinforcement of (he
Invaders, the enemy was thrown
out of several buildings in a fac
tory district by counterattacking
Russians, a communique said.

ROOSEVELT POPULARITY
FACING NATIONAL TEST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (API
To President Roosevelt, who has
dominated American politics for
a decade, today's election brings
not onlv the (irsl voter reaction
l id'uet or the war hill, to a
dc'Hi'ee, a new check up on his na
tional popularity.
As commander in chief of the
armed forces and as president of
a people Milled against the axis
enemy, Mr. Koosovell can claim
the uiiwaveriiiK support of every
loval citizen.
Kill he also is cast in another
character. He is the political
i..:,,jm- ,,r .' fiii-prnmcnt comnellcd
liy war to uproot the normal way
of life and inflict the inevitable
bruises of a war economy.
In an off-year election, when
the presidential office is not at
slake, the voter who doesn't like
the way things are Roini; usually
takes it out on his senator and
representative. Stale officers fall
victim, too, if the reaction grows
to a strong national trend.
Finding expression In some
form today will be the sentiment
of voters toward gasoline ration
ing and price-fixing, toward wage
stabilization and farm prices, to
ward sugar and codec shortages,
the draft and the higher cost of
living.

LATE REPORT UPS JAP
LOSSES IN SEA BATTLE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-(AP
-The sinking of two additional
Japanese cruisers and a destroy
er in the soulh Pacific was report
eel today by Navy Secretary Knox
who coupled with the news an ad
monition against "growing too op
timistic" about the Solomons
campaign.
"It Is still a bitter, tough fight,"
ho said. "They (the Japanese)
have a fleet of formidable propor
tions left. We haven't any doubt
they'll come back."
Knox' report of sinking two
more enemy cruisers was based
on late information from Vice
Admiral Ghormley, now back
from his former command as
chief of naval operations In the
south Pacific.
.Ghormley's account of the bat
tle off Savo island the night of
Oct. 11-12, Knox said, listed five
destroyers and three cruisers as
sunk.
The navy communique on that
engagement had reported only
one enemy cruiser sunk, plus four
destroyers and a transport.
Ghormley's report thus added two
cruisers, and one destroyer to the
toll taken of the enemy,
Knox said the- additional
damage reported by Ghormley
was an example of "the ultra con
servatism" of tho navy in report
ing damage to the enemy.
In speaking out against op
timism springing from the severe
damage Inflicted on the Japanese
fleet in the Solomons, Knox said:
"There is no warrant for the
optimism. It is still a bitter, tough
fight. They have a fleet of for
midable proportions left. We
haven't any doubt they'll come

they won't be back and anv as-1

READ WHY SAF6WAY CEILING PRICES ARB 10W
first, what h a tiffing price? A store's
ceiling price is the highest price that may be
charged by that particular store for those
items governed by the ceiling price law.
Second, why aren't ceiling prices
the same in ail stores? Under the regu
lations each store establishes its own price
ceilings within the limitations of the law.
The ceiling price law 6xes an amount above
which prices may not go, but without restric
tions as to how low prices may go.
Why Safeway ceiling prices are fowf
Because every Safeway price has been a very
low price month after month, Safeway ceiling
prices are naturally very low. For years Safe
way has waged war on needless waste in dis
tributing foods . . .cut out unnecessary expense
... eliminated frills. And the savings thus
made have been shared with our customers
by giving them low prices. The ceiling price
regulations will not, in any way, alter Safeway's
policy of bringing you the finest foods the
markets offer at the lowest possible prices.
AND
there is no ceiling as to
the number of War Bonds and
Stamps you should buy, reg
ularly. Put your savings, at feast
10 of your income. Into War
Bonds and help win the war.
Safeway is cooperating with the Government's effort to prevent
inflation by rigidly adhering to the spirit as well as the letter of
the ceiling price regulations.
