Latest reports said the Ger
mans were now hurling at least
four Infantry divisions (60.000
troops) and a tank division into
the main assault, with the Rus
sians battling fiercely to pre
vent the invaders from fanning
out along the banks of the
Volga and breaking the flanks
of the defense.
Berlin broadcasts said the
Germans had already won the
west bank of the Volga along
a two-mile front and had oc
cupied half of Stalingrad.
It was the fourth day of the
revitalized nari offensive to
batter the city into surrender

TEEN AGE BUT

soldiers are guaranteed at least
year of training before being
sent into combat. .
This proposal. General Mar
shall said in letter read to tea
house by Representative Wads
worth (R-N. Y.), author of the
bill, would seriously handicap
the war department. Marshall
pleaded for congress to "trust our
judgment."
As passed by the house, the
bill provided that any teen-age
boy called for induction may ob
tain a deferment until the end
of the present school year, but
not later than next July 1, if he
is attending high school, col
lege or university.
It also provided that before
married men are drafted, there
be no available single men in
their state, the effect being to put
draft board quotas on a state
rather than a local basis.
The vote which defeated the
move to guarantee a year's train
ing was on accepting a rules
committee recommendation that
preventing consideration of any
amendments except those bear
ing directly on changing the
present age limits.

quarters forecast a giant battle
between the United States and
Japanese fleets in the Solomon
Island coincident with the bitter
struggle for control of Guadal
canal air base, and Secretary of
the Navy Knox declared:
"There is no concealing there's
a good, stiff, tough fight on."
In the absence of specific de
tails, Knox's comment at a press
conference late yesterday re
flected a restrained optimism and
indicated at least that the battle
was far from one-sided despite
the fact that the Japanese were
bringing their heaviest forces to
bear.
While the navy carefully
guarded Its fleet movements,
Washington naval sources saw
the likelihood of a sea engage
ment possibly even greater than
the battle at Midway or in the
Coral sea.
