Russia's great counter-drive on the eastern front showed no sign of let-up. but the German high command made much of an ap parent setback In the Crimea, where Feodosiya, on the south east coast of the peninsula, was reported recaptured by com bined German-Rumanian force. This "victory report" must have come as a surprise to the German people, for the Hitler command had never officially acknowledged losing Feodosiya.

Russians Weep at As Soviet Troops (Editor's Note The following dispatch written for United Press by Ilya Ehrenbourg, noted Russian author, describes scenes in Russian territory regained from the Germans by the soviet counter-offensive.) By ILYA EHRENBOURG Written for United Press MOSCOW, Jan. 19 (UP) The old man was carrying a chicken in his hands when he came up to welcome soviet troops who had driven the Germans from the vil lage. .. ; . , "Do you receive fools as visi tors?" he asked after a low bow. "I am one of them," he con tinued. "I thought that if the Germans come, what's that to me? I am only one of the 'small fry,' and already have one foot In the grave. They won't touch me. "They did come. They drove away my little granddaughter; I don't know where she is now. They slaughtered my cow and took my felt boots from my feet. Do you see what I am wearing?" The old man said he hid one chicken from the nazis, and that when he heard that the soviet army was approaching, he built a fire In the stove and had his wife roast the fowl for the sol diers. "Thanks for coming," he said, and wept Around him were scores of vil lage women, also weeping shedding tears of joy, crying for the first time in three months of a hard and bitter winter. They told me they had been afraid to utter a sound to each other while the Germans were there. They had not cried, and their eyes had been hard and dry as they looked at the Ger mans. Now, the floodgates were opened. People passing me on the road, heading west Into former ly occupied and often devastat ed territory now In the grip of winter, are smiling as they press forward to see whether their houses are left or their farms damaged. Only a short time ago they were headed east with stern and mournful faces. I witnessed the reoccupntion of the city of Medyn, impor tant junction for four roads. It had long ago been outflanked by the Russian counter-offensive, and was under trench-mortar bombardment from the north west. The attack began at night. In the morning it was announced that Medyn had been occupied by the Russians. The German defending force was wiped out or scattered into the wods, and many trophies were taken, in- FUNERAL FRANK LESLIE KELLEY Friends are respectfully Invit ed to attend the funeral services for the late Frank Leslie Kclley to be held Tuesday morning, January 20, 1942, at Sacred Heart church.

Recitation of the rosary will be conducted Monday evening at 8 p. m. in the chapel of the Earl Whitlock Fu neral Home, Pine street at Sixth, with the Rev. T. P. Casey offi ciating. Friends are Invited. Last-for Joy Recover Land eluding 26 guns which the Ger mans had no time to destroy or remove. Now. after the capture of Me dyn, five badly battered Ger man divisions are caught in a soviet trap, and new heavy fight ing impends. But there's another, more cheerful aspect to the situation in ono more liberated city, in mutilated, fire-swept Medyn people are again able to weep. To weep for joy. PiKlilB METERS (Continued from Page One) Falls, when the necessity for the increase is caused to a great extent by persons living outside the city. Action on the proposal is ex pected by the city council Mon day night. The merchants also brought out at their meeting that solici tations for dance tickets come under the rule that all solicitors must first be approved by the secret committee of the Retail Trade bureau.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, that he would present Lewis' proposal for a resumption of CIO-AFL peace conferences to a meeting of the CIO executive board here .January 24. Murray pointed out in a let ter to Lewis, his predecessor as head of the CIO, that all ar rangements in behalf of the CIO "with reference 'to unity with the American Federation of La bor wjll necessarily have to be initiated through the office of the president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations." BONUS FOR BIRTHS ST. LOUIS, (P) The stork has been made a party to a union contract signed by Air Rifle Manufacturer A. P. Spaek with the CIO Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers. As an argument for a wage increase during negotiations for the contract, one of Spack's 60 employes presented him with' estimates of bills for an antici pated heir. Convinced of the soundness of the argument, Spack incorpor ated a clause in the contract pro viding $23 for each child born to an employe In 1942. And there's "no ceiling" In the clause.
