WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 -M
The selective service system Wed
nesday abolished its "limited ser
vice" class 1-B, the group with
minor physical defects, and or
dered -all but the totally unfit, re
classified as available for military
service.. . - " '". '
Nearlng exhaustion of the pool
of 1-A registrants, those free of
any known physical handicaps and
not deferred from active duty for
any other ; reason, the army-re-cently'
called for induction of men
from the 1-B class.
This decision, resulting in
fUlinr local draft quotas with
1-A and 1-B reentrants, has
made the latter classification

purposes of the selective service
system, and its members will
either be placed In f-F, if total

Bouglas Sharp Decorated
WAJ5HINGTON, Aug. 19 -(ff)
Nine army fliers who would not
quit fighting until their huge
bomber was a crippled, flaming
wreck headed for a crash have
been decorated for exceptional
' gallantry in a spectacular bomb
ing raid and running air battle
over Burma two months ego.
The war department reported
Wednesday that Brig. Gen. Earl
Major Sharp Is known in Sa
lem as Douglas Sharp, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank D.
Sharp, Evergreen avenue. Ac
counts of his Burma flying have
appeared In The Statesman
previously.
T. Naiden, cmmanding Ameri
can air- forces In India,- had
awarded the silver star to the
pilot, . Maj. . Frank D. Sharp of
Salem, Ore, and the eight mem
bers of his crew.
One of the awards was pos
thumous to Pvt. First Class
Francis J. Teehan of Footeville,
l than 119 0 Germans killed in
fighting extending from the Cau
casus foothills in the south to
Leningrad on the Baltic
"After stubborn battles .during
which heavy losses were inflicted
on the enemy in men and equip
ment our troops evacuated the
town of Krasnodar," the com
munique said.
The Knban river stronghold
of Krasnodar, which the Ger
mans claimed August 9 is about
6S air line miles from Novoros
sisk, soviet Black sea naval
base, and Russian troops also
were fighting south of Krasno
dar in an apparent westerly
withdrawal from the abandoned
Maikop ofl fields. r
The communique located the
Stalingrad battle scene as still
"southeast of Kletskaya" in the
Don river bend, and "northeast
of Kotelnikovski." Kletskaya is 75
miles northwest of the Volga in
dustrial city, but unofficial re
ports nave saia tne nazis were
threatening the western bank of
the Don which is only about 50
miles from Stalingrad.
Kotelnikovski is 95 miles south'
west of Stalingrad.
The Russians said the Germans
concentrated more than 100 tanks
on one sector southeast of Klets
kaya in. an effort to crash through
the soviet ' lines. Thirty" one of
these were reported destroyed as
well as 25 trucks filled with nazi
troops. Altogether 400 Germans
were killed in this single; sector.
the communique added.
; The fighting on both approaches
to Stalingrad continued through
the night
In the Caucasian foothills
Russian troops still were bat
tling grimly to check the Ger
man sweep through Pyatigorsk
toward the Grosny oil fields be
yond. Thursday's communique
indicated the Russian lines for
the moment were holding in this
sector. '. '
Local fighting was reported on
the Leningrad-Volkhov front near
the Baltic. A German attempt to
cross a river in the area was de
clared to have been repulsed by
soviet artillery.
The Russians still had time to
lash out by air at Germany prop
er. An announcement Wednesday
night said that soviet bombers had
raided Danzig, Koenigsberg and
Tilsitt on the nazi-held Baltic
coast, setting a large number of
fires in all three cities without
the loss of a single raider:
Wis., . who died beside his gun
in the side turret
Second Lieut Herbert E. Wun
derlich of Williston, NY, the co
pilot,"1 stayed with Sharp to help
him in the crash landing, and
both,, although, wounded, made
their way back to their command.
The six otters of the erew
had bailed out on Sharp's ord-
. ers, and presumably are prison-
ers of the Japanese. Despite the
decorations awarded . them, the
department would not make
public- their names on" the -chance
that they may have
eluded the Japanese, and the
disclosure of their ' identity
would spur a hunt for them by,
, the enemy. . : "" v

Stimson said: , j

Broadcasts), Aug. 1M)-The
German high command said in
special bulletin Wednesday
night that the allied forces
which attacked the French
coast near Dieppe Wednesday
were "destroyed without the
calling up of reinforcements of
important strength."
The allies suffered "very high
casualties in killed and wounded,'
and German defense forces cap
tured 1500 prisoners, including 60
Canadian officers, the communi
que said.
The allies also lost three de
stroyers, two torpedo boats, four
transports, one speedboat and S3

From 300 to 400 landing boats
participated in the first wave of

and all agreed It was a prelude

The News Chronicle said "the

independently of Moscow deci
sions, was thus psychologically

an earnest of still ' bigger
things to come." :
The Glasgow Herald asserted
that the "relatively prolonged
nature of the daylight attack
and the very exhaustive provi
sion of air cover in addition to
the use of tanks pointed to a
test of "preparations made for
an invasion of the continent on
an immensely larger scale."
The Manchester Guardian
suggested that the "hysterical -tone'
of the naxi announce

claims' provided "the best as
