Wednesda' THE REGISTER. GUARD, EUGENE. OREGON Page Fourteen. No New Nazi Advance Seen ,' By LOUIS F. KEEMLE Of The United Press War Dei The signs are getting stronger every day that the Germans are not likely to get beyond Stalin grad this winter, even if they take the city, which Is by no means certain. For the weight of their assault and the losses they are taking, their progress Is remarkably slow. They gain a little here ana mere, but it is not a question of advanc ing even as much as half a mile, but of taking a street or perhaps a block of buildings. If the Germans take Stalingrad now. the chief value of the shat torcd city to them would be as an advanced strong point to cover their positions In the Don elbow, where they have built an exten sive system of hedgehog defenses. It seems Increasingly probable that the Germans will be able to dig In for the winter In the Don elbov and that they will be able to hold it, with or without Stalin grad. They will be under con stant Husslan pressure, which means that they will not be able to withdraw any considerable part of their forces for use elsewhere. That would be a break for the British In Egypt or for the United Nations In the west, should they decide to Invade the continent. It also would have a bearing on the fighting in the Caucasus, where the Germans badly need reinforce ments If they are to win through along the windswept lower slopes of the mountains to the Grozny oil fields or down the Black sea coastal road toward Batum. What a winter stalemate In Rus sia would do for the Germans would be to enable them to with draw much of their air force to bolster the depleted Luftwaffe In the west or to support Marshal Erwln Rommel In Egypt. Rommel's position Is none too good If the British should start an all-out attempt to drive him from Egypt and Libya. Ho Is Inferior In air strength, and British and American planes have been pound ing his bases and supply lines almost at will. There Is a suspicion In Informed circles that Rommel may be suf fering from a serious shortage of PICTURED above ire the Tates and their canine actors, now ap pearing nightly at the Holland along with Dick Sherman and his HollandaJre dance band.

Labor Tieups Show Very Slight Increase WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.

The number of man-days lost increased from 268,353 to 318.892, while the total number of man days worked rose from 300,000,000 in August to 332,000,000 in Sep tember. The WLB said the number of strikes which include all labor disputes and lockouts decreased from 229 to 187, but involved 80, 709 men in September compared to only 79,141 In August, Noted News Analyst i.ui.iiii. i hi- -, T,.,..n i Listen to this noted news analyst break down the day's Important war developments. John B. Hughes stands unchallenged in his own field. You'll like his cleat-cut views. JOHN B. HUGHES Monday. Wedntsday and Friday 8:30 P. M. 0 0 THEATER WORLD By GLENN HASSELROOTH "The Pride of the Yankees" is the deserved pride of RKO and Samuel Goldwyn, who produced t it. The film also may well be one of the worthwhile thrllU of the year for millions, who will un doubtedly see It not once, but ! many times. Down at the Heilig, where the picture opened Sun day for a solid week'i run, they're ; already having . repeat business ; for those who saw it the first day. I More often than not, when Hoi-! lywood has a "sure thing," such as it had in the life of Lou Gehrig, so much talent and money and . preparation goes into its filming I that the finished dish tastes some- 1 thing like the soup that was spoil ed by too many cooks. With "Pride : of the Yankees," it's another story. Gary Cooper, as the beloved first baseman, Is the star. The i story was written by Paul Galileo, the scenario by Jo Swerllng and j Herman J. Mankeiwicz. Sam Wood sat in the director's chair. Among them, and with the help of a lot of others who have high oattlng averages in various fields of endeavor, they have hit a hom er in cinematic history that, may live as long as the Iron Horse of baseball it helps to immortalize. The story Is too familiar to need repeating here. It Is the linotyped chronicle of Lou Gehrig, the chronicle of baseball's more recent years. They include the facts of life that headlined the sport pages from his boyhood days, through the golden age when he played more than 2,000 consecutive games with the Yanks, to the last gray days when he met the stigma of - infantile paralysis. Some will say that Gehrig lost his last battle; this picture proves differently. Superficially, "The Pride of the Yankees" Is the flashy dramatiz ation of tha life of a baseball play er. More deeply, it Is the modest story of a good guy who played baseball. The spirit and the events that make up both these stories have been telescoped simply, in- i telligently, and thoughtfully, avoiding the use of much Holly wood artifice or straining for ef fect. Gary Cooper may be Gary Cooper playing Gehrig instead of the real McCoy, but that doesn't matter. Impersonating a hero so recently gone is an almost impos sible task for any actor, but Coop er has captured enough of Geh rig's mannerisms in addition to being his own likeable self to make you believe that he Is Geh rig: and that Is really important. Teresa Wright as his wife Klcanor is charming and poig nantly believable, as are Elsa .lansscn and Ludwig Stossel as his parents, with a touch of humor added. Miss Janssen especially seems beautifully cast, and her performance is one to be remem bered when next February rolls around and they start passing around Academy plaque.. Playing themselves and believe It or not, convincingly are Babe Ruth, Bob Mcusel, Mark Koenlg, Bill Stern, and Bill Dickey. The picture ends, not with the death of Larrupin' Lou, but on July 4, 1939, when New York and the baseball world paid homage to one of its greatest idols at cere monies held in the Yankee stad ium, 62.000 fans cheering. "Most people think I've had a toujh break.'1 he said quietly, "but to day. I feel that I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth." The scene is a perfect ending for a well-nigh perfect picture which Jhould be an Inspiration to all those who understand, or who would like to understand, Amer ica. And we think thfjt Lou Geh rig would be proud to be alive to day it only to see that there are many other Americans, faced with far different problems, who also know the meaning of fortitude. mm Ill if SPECIAL PURCHASE 3,000 STOCK From Milady's Shoppe Florence, Oregon ON SALE AT WILLIAMS' Here is the chance to purchase your winter wardrobe at below market prices.
