ROLL OF HONOR
, EXPERTS BELIEVE
Have Only 50-50 Chance to
Extricate Half of 600,000
Men Cornered in Bend.
(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.) " ,

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

men from the west and south to
prevent a further break-through.
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,

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

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? .
