PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.- MEDFORO. OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 18. 1941. Battle of Millions Should Give Hint on War's Trend Br DeWltt MacKonsIe (Associated Press Analyst) The battle of the millions along the flaming Russian front presents 'great uncertainties, but we can say that the nazis appear to have continued their advance in vital sectors, though with a tremendous expenditure of strength because of the fierceness of the Bolshevist resistance. There seems small doubt that Uiis second phase of the con flict of the ages is approaching its climax. We should know soon whether the nazis are ac curate in their claim that great successes are In the making. Red Army Making Fanatical Defense ' We probably should be un wise to dispute that claim on the basis of facts at hand. At this writing, as the Hltlerian legions are being flung against the center and both end of the attenuated fighting line, we get picture of a Red army mak ing well-nigh fanatical resist ance, rather than one which has the striking power to counter attack and throw the invaders back. Still that striking power might develop at the psycholog ical moment. The Muscovites are rushing fresh reserves to the front and we shall see what we shall see. I was with British Commander-in-Chief Haig's army in the black days of 1918 as a war correspondent when the Britons made their historic and successful "backs-to-the-wall" stand against seem ingly overwhelming German masses, and I am cautious in setting limits to what deter mined men can achieve. Must Destroy Entire Fore In any event, even if the nazis batter their way through to Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev the chief objectives of the mo ment that won't necessarily represent a conclusive victory. It wouldn't be surprising if the Germans did exactly that, bur unless they destroy the Red army at the same time, the Bol shevist government will merely retire to fresh industrial fields behind the shelter of the Ural mountains, and carry on. . The morale of the Russian government, people and fight ing forces will be a mighty fac tor in determining the outcome of this war. This being so, the reintroduction into the Red army of political commissars. who countersign orders of the military commanders and share responsibility with them, is bound to cause' anxious specu lation in allied countries as to whether this is a sign of weak ness or of determination. Germans See Disaffection Signs The Germans promptly grasp ed the opportunity to represent this move as a sign of disaffec tion in the Russian forces, de claring that the commissars had Deen ordered to wage war against appeasers, deserters and saboteurs. Certainly Moscow has laid itself wide open to such enemy propaganda by this re turn to two-headed system wmch was discarded to strengthen efficiency and disci pline. The political commissar had his birth during the turbulent civil war days of tlie early Sov iet. They were set to watch ex- czarist officers whose loyalty was doubled. The great purges of 1937-38, when many officers were shot as traitors, were the result of denunciations by the commissars. FATHER SEEKING CHILD'S CUSTODY An application for writ of habeas corpus filed by Ralph E Nelson, in the matter of the re straint of Florence Gall Nelson, a minor child, by her grand mother Clara Hallett Kent, of Butte Falls, was granted yester day in an order signed by Cir cuit Judge Herbert K. Hanna. A hearing on the writ was set for Friday, July 29. Nelson, a resident of Tacoma, Wash., seeks custody of the child of five years, as the father. The mother is deceased. In county court, July 1, the application states, the grandmother was named as the guardian. The father sets forth in the applica tion he is financially able and willing, and a competent person to have custody of the child. T FACES CITATION A complaint charging Stephen J. Cline, WPA chief timekeeper, now in the hospital, with pass ing motor vehicles with insuffi cient clearance was filed In Jus tice court yesterday by the state police. Cline sustained serious injuries last Monday night when the auto he was driving crashed into a Greyhound bus. on the Pacific highway near Beall Lane. Nine passengers in the bus sustained Injuries. The complaint charges that Cline passed other vehicles with insufficient clearance, in the face of the oncoming stage. A warrant will be served upon Cline as soon as he is able to leave the hospital. Deny Differential For Night Bakers Portland, July 18. A wage differential for night work, sought by the Portland Bakers' union, was denied yes terday by arbiter H. L. Holgate. The differential request was submitted to arbtiration as one of the terms of settlement of a strike. Holgate said there was no Increased hazard in night work and that Inconveniences affect ed all workers equally. RETAIL SALES OVER L New York, July 18. VP) Re tall sales were of better than seasonal proportions in almost every line, this week with total volume about one-quarter again as large as at this time last year, Dun & Bradstreet said to day In the weekly review of busines. "Wholesale trade was brisk and climbing steadily," the agency said. "Sellers frequently reported they could have book ed more orders If the merchan dise had been available. "Manufacturers' o p e r atim schedules on average still show ed only minor changes from the all-time record level of past weeks. "Not only were retail buyers estimating requirements on a liberal scale, but they were cov ering now on a substantial part of fall and winter needs. Some retailers planning on a 15 to 20 percent gain in sales were i Inquiring for double the volume of merchandise ordered Initially last year. "Sellers frequently set a dead ' line beyond which they would not book orders at prevailing ' prices. In many lines ordering, continued to be hampered by a 1 lack or supplies to meet delivery needs."
