(Editor's Note: The far-reaching effects of the powerful Rus sian offensive in the Dnieper Bend are analyzed In the' follow ing dispatch by Edward W. Beat tie, veteran United Press war correspondent who has seen the German army in action in France, Poland and Tunisia, and Joseph W. Grigg, manager of the former Berlin bureau of the United Press.) " , , Br Edward W. Beattit and Joseph W. Grigg United Press Correspondents. London, Oct. 27. UP) Mili tary experts believe the Germans face the certainty of a great military defeat and the possibil ' ity of a stupendous disaster in the southern Ukraine. At most, these experts say, the Germans have only a 80-50 chance of extricating even half Of their 600,000 men now corner ed in the Dnieper Bend. And, unless the Nazi command can muster sufficient troops to halt the Russian column cutting across the German rear below Kremenchug, their chances of saving those 300,000 men are less than even. Counter Needed Only a major counterattack against the Russian column al jeady probing into Krivoi Rog 7 salt way across the Dnieper Bend can prevent another and worse "Stalingrad." If the Germans do not coun terattack, the result will be a break-up of the whole German southern army group. If they do counterattack and fail, the break-up would be only hastened. That was what hap pened at Stalingrad last Novem ber. If they counterattack and win, it would be at a cost in casualties which the German command can ill afford and would bring only a temporary breathing spell.- This was what happened when the Germans recaptured Kharkov last winter, only to lose it this summer. The battered German units who have been retreating for fthree months and whose arma ment is at the danger point, do. not appear capable of mounting a counteroffensive sufficient to halt the red army. Using All Hands The Germans also probably have committed every division they can lay their hands on in Russia. Thus they can counter attack in force only by draining off divisions from the already thinned fronts In the west and south. At the same time, however, the loss of even half of those 600,000 men in the Dnieper Bend would probably send the Ger mans reeling back into Poland and Rumania and probably com pel the withdrawal of additional Joan Bur, Jg M , .-kr-Tti---,..-: Carol Ana.

The approaching doom for the Germans in Dnieper Bend has been heralded by the Russian thrust into Krivoi Rog, whose fall will deprive the Germans of their next to the last escape rail road, leaving only a round-about line that already is jammed with Nazi forces fleeing from the Crimea. The Germans have done con siderable road-building in the past two years, but the highway network is inadequate for the present demands. Three Moves Left As for the Russians, they have three possible moves, each more portentious than the previous one: 1 They may drive southeast from Krivoi Rog to Nikopol to join other Soviet forces striking tcross the Dnieper from Zapor- ozhe and nip off a German sali ent about 50 miles wide and 40 miles deep. 2 They may advance south ward to Nikolaev at the mouth o the Bug river to. link up with forces pushing along the Sea of Azov and Black sea to cut off a vastly greater area, including the Crimea. 3 Or, most ambitious of all, they may thrust through Kiev along the only double-track rail way in this area to the Dniester river and lop off the entire south ern German army of some 100 divisions, crushing them back into Rumania. The next two weeks probably will bring a showdown, COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer tlthougn the use of a pen-name 5r Initials for publication ts per missible.

How About Price Of Hides To the Editor: i I read in the San Francisco paper that the state of Nevada are giving extra gas to the deer hunters so that they can bring all the deer hides in that they can get as our government short on leather. Now I took 2 beef hides and 10 goat skins to Medford a month ago and all I could get for the big beef hides was $1.10 apiece and they wouldn't even look at the goat skins as our county agent told me I was lucky to get offered $1.10 for the beef hides as another farmer was in the other day and they wouldn't even buy them. What's the matter with Med ford or is it the state of Oregon. Charles Eek, Oct. 26 ' Jacksonville, Ore. Sunday Football Vs. Saturday To the Editor: May I through your Journal submit a query prompted by the action of the Medford Min isterial Association condemning Sunday football at the Univer sity of Oregon. Is not the case presented by the Ministerial Association fa tally weak by reason of the fact that they did not (and could not) quote a single statement made by the Almighty affirm ing that Sunday is a sacred day or commanding abstinence from worldly occupations on that day? And further, how can the As sociation consistently condemn the University authorities for permitting football on a day concerning which as a sabbath the Creator never did or said anything, while they themselves ignore the day on which, ac cording to the Genesis record. the Creator did rest, and which he blessed and sanctified; which as the record states was the last day of the week and not the first? .
