SIMPSON Wide World War 'Analyst for The Statesman . i ' ft A i Herr Hitler's promise that theSoviet counter-attacks will be frustrated and that enemy 4efeattk in 1942 can hardly sound convincing to a German people remembering his assurances a year ago of final victory in 1941. War Casualty Friv. Dean W. Cebert (above), 23, of Galesburr, HI., was reported killed in a Japanese raid In -Hawaii. He enlisted at Gales- . bury, December 2, 1940 and has been In Hawaii nearly a year, assigned to a pursuit squadron. Reminders on Yule Seals In Mails - A reminder to Salem residents (some 4600 out of 9000, the rec ords show) who received Christ inas tuberculosis seals in Novem- "ber and have not yet remitted for them will be delivered by post men Friday morning, R. L. Elf- strom, city seal sale chairman, reports. : . The need for funds to fight tuberculosis is real, locally as - weU as nationally, Elfstrom pointed tout la asking that all persons who received the ,seals contribute for them, regardless of whether they were used. During December, six new cases of tuberculosis were found in "Marion county, including an eight-year-old girl in a school near Salem. The girl's case is especially in teresting because it was found i largely as result of the health education given the public and ' school teachers against tubercu losis. - : Incidentally, 1941 saw 42 cases ' . and 11 deaths on the TB score in Marion county. This was a de crease in -deaths but an increase -' In ' cases which is , a good sign, health officials say, for it shows earlier diagnoses of cases are be ing made. . This earlier discovery, giving ', hopes for -definite cures, is due largely to the funds which re main in the'county (75 per - cent) , from the Christmas seal aale,; . : ' At the present time two x-ray clinics weekly are being held in - Marion county,, in contrast to two x-ray clinics monthly three years ago, according to word at the tu berculosis seal sale headquarters, X-ray is the only way that, tu berculosis may be diagnosed. The increased load in this county, makes urgent the collec- uons on we luoerciuosis seats now remaining unaccounted for, f I' . . Elfstrom declares. , Leon's Thrifi Sales! ALL SUEDE ! SHOES Values lo $3X3 234 N. Liberty (SCO The Russians quickly added a very pertinent postscript to the Hitler outgiving. They announced the recapture of Kaluga, the smashing) of Col. Gen. Heinz Gu- derian's tank command and the rout of 250000 Germans south of Moscow. Previously the news had come that red forces had swarmed across Kerch strait and ; the Black sea to. regain important strategic! footholds in the Cri mea, i " That is a momentous war de velopment for two reasons. It iurtner relieves tne danger ; oi a German spring invasion of the Caucasus; with its; 'all important oil resources. It also may gravely threaten the Azov sea flank of the German mainland winter line at Mariupol; That the nazis are compelled to rush reinforcements to the Kerch peninsula zone from both the mainland front about Mariupol and froii the Sevastopol siege is obvious, f A red drive from either Kerch or Feodostiya,: both retaken in the surprise landings, could turn the; Sevastopol battle into a siege within a siege. The naii supply line in the Crimea is vulnerable from the east, where the Russians struck. A 60-mile advance north of the mountains that rim the south eastern coast of the. Crimean peninsula would, Tut them astride the Sevastopol -Melitopol railway and a short Jump from the Simferopol-Perekop high way. It was across the Perekop isthmus and down that high way the Germans drove into the Crimea. As a by-product of the Russian surprise thrust in the Crimea, however, its effect on the south ern mainland anchor of the Ger man winter line at Mariupol could be damaging even without any further red advance on the pen insula. The nazi flight from Ros tov was; stabilized at Mariupol. What mfst have happened was heavy, withdrawals of German forces in the Kerch sector of the Crimea to bolster the Mariupol front. If those forces now must back track to the Crimea to meet the new Russian threat, it might open the way for renewal of the Rus sian westward drive along the sea of Azov coast line and in the lower Donets region which start ed the German retreat to Winter quarters. There has been ample evidence that the German war program, re arranged in view of the failure to achieve a decisive victory be fore the onset of winter, included holding the Crimea. There has never been any doubt that the Germans expect- -ed to use the Crimea as a bridgehead to attack Feodosiya, rail, linked with the Caucasus. Therefore Russian recapture of I Kerch strait must be of imme-; dlate concern to Generalissimo Hitler. ; The first strategic battles of the 1942 campaign, in which he has promised final 'defeat of Russia, seem : indicated there a h d a purge of nazi officers held re sponsible for its. loss may be ex pected. 'j Failure to regain that Kerch threat to the Caucasus promptly would change the nazi -Russian battle picture. It would also tend to lessen the need for strong British forces deployed 'in Iran to back up Russian defense of the Caucasus. If Kerch and any sub stantial part of the Crimean pen insula ' can be held by the Rus sians for the winter, some; other employment for an important part 'of the British armies of the near and middle east could be found, perhaps in the far east Recapture of Kerch is symbolic of the confusion . into which the great retreat in Russia has thrown the Germans.

' The average American civilian uses' about nine pounds of wool a year but the government sup plies the soldiers in training with about 1160 pounds and the soldier in action with 279 pounds. That same American soldier is so much better dressed than any other in the world, the American wool council said, that "there Is no comparison," for the government demands and gets the best of all mater ials for him, better than the average citizen ever buys. But the office of production management has told the manu f acturers their supply of new wool for non-military production including suits, dresses, other clothing and rugs would be restricted during the next three months to half or less than half the amount they used in the same period in 1941. SoHo start with, according, to the council, the industry in 1942 will cjut ' the color range in men's and women's clothes perhaps 60 per cent, right there saving chem icals hitherto used in dyeing; but henceforth to be used in making explosives.
