A series of bulletins and red army headquarters said tank-led soviet infantry columns had stormed into more than 40 ad ditional towns and villages in the Caucasus during the last 24 hours. Barlln Cautious The nari radio belatedly acknowledged to the German people what the outside world has known for weeks i.e., that the German -armies are on the run. ' . Even this admission was couched in terms of utmost restraint and gave no inkling of the disastrous turn of the tide. "German troops in the eastern '. Caucasus completed, according , to schedule, the shortening of front lines by withdrawing ad vanced strongholds, it became known in Berlin Thursday night," the broadcast said.

He quoted Hoelle as saying: " 1 dove down on the motor convoy, attacked it and set some trucks on fire, and then banked to get away. My wing hit a telephone pole. The plane tip ped over on its back and there I was going about 300 miles an hour, upside down, about a dozen feet off the ground. I felt like my face was scraping the ground'." Hoelle righted the plane and landed safely, with a hole rip ped in the wing. BYRO GOES TO WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 W Senator Byrd (D-Va.) charged today that the National Youth administration in some states had more work training stations than trainees, and confronted NYA Director Aubrey Williams with specific examples. In fact, Byrd said at a hearing of. the joint congressional econ omy committee, he heads, budget bureau figures show that 55,000 NYA work stations have, been es tablished, in comparison with the 53,030 trainees which Williams said were taking' work courses last October. Williams replied that only about 78,000 of the stations were in active use, however, because of IIYA's sharply reduced ap propriation. Byrd contended NYA was not essential at this time but Wil liams argued that the current fiscal year appropriation of $50, 000,000 should be increased and the law liberalized' to permit greater use of NYA facilities. The appropriation for last fiscal year was $160,000,000. E TUX OFFICE SET UP II.

WORK UN NYA APPROPRIATION SHORT DEFENSE ASKS QUASHING OF (Continued From Page One) came a "matter of notoriety" in the whole of Klamath county and were discussed in press and over the radio. Ten minutes la ter, the motion alleges, the judge made an order calling the grand jury. Audit Mentioned ' (In connection with similar allegations made in a previous defense motion in this case. Judge Vandenberg stated there was "no swearing, no cursing and no striking") The motion filea Friday assert ed further that the judge called the griyid Jury's attention to the county audit dealing with pay ments made to the clerk, and mentioned also a presentment of facts made by the grand Jury to the judge and his Instructions in connection with the Short case. On or about December 1, 1942, the motion alleges, Commis sioner Reber was called before the grand jury and asked certain questions about the conduct of the clerk's office. Scratched Out Judge Vandenberg, it was al leged, appeared before the grand jury and mentioned asserted shortcomings of the county clerk. The names of neither Reber nor Vandenberg are endorsed upon the indictment, it was as serted, but the instrument shows names had been scratched out from the list of witnesses en dorsed upon the indictments. - Judge Lewelling has said he will come here about the middle of January to handle matters in connection with the Short case. Judge Vandenberg was disqual ified by defense affidavit to sit in this case, but indicated at the time that he would have dis qualified himself if this action had not been taken. Previous Motion Mrs. Short is accused of ac cepting funds totaling $95 in pay. ment for overtime in connection with election work, and in pay ment for keeping records for the dog board. The state's conten tion is that these payments are not authorized by law. Judge Lewelling has denied a previous defense motion asking for transcripts of instructions given the grand. Jury by Judge Vandenberg. The motion asserts that the payments made to Mrs. Short were made upon judgment and order of the county court, in compliance with the law. It points out that County Judge U. E. Reeder's name ap pears as a voluntary witness while that of Commissioner Re ber does not so appear and was allegedly deleted along with that of Judge Vandenberg. . The alleged alterations invali date the indictments, the defense attorney claimed.

A part of this Information, ho said will be a post-war plan be ing prepared by the national re sources planning board. Recalling that previously the chief executive had suggested that domestics and farm labor and others now excluded by brought Into the scope of the social security program, a ques tioner wanted to know whether he Intended to go further along that line. Ho responded merely, again, that he intended to sud mit data. It will take a long time to study the data and find out what It Is all about, he added. Replying to an additional question,- he said the subject ought not to be controversial as to objective, although there was loom for differences on methods. It would be a great pity for the objective to be lost through dis agreement on . details, he as crted. There are a great many meth ods of arriving at the objective, the president said, and that is a congressional function.' The next generation will see higher wages and shorter work ing hours which will come about through the genius of peo ple who. invent machine tools I for us to work with and through the ability of men and women who handle the machines and tools in a way that will give better results.

More over, he added, passenger cars con use reclaimed rubber for recaps and even new tires, while trucks and military vehicles re quire crude and synthetic rub ber. If 65 to 70 per cent of the synthetic plant program were given unhampered preference in the competition for equipment and materials, the program could still hit a production rate in 1944 of 600.000 tons. Jeffers said. This would suffice to keep the military machines of this country and the United Nnttons rolling, as well as essential trucks and buses, ho observed. But It doesn't leave any for the rank and file of motorists. These, ho said, would have to get alomi with recaps and reclaim until completion of the remaining 30 to 35 per cent of the program for which no special priority aid is being asked. Twenty per cent of the pro gram already has beon granted a "special direction" by the war production board to guaranteo speedy completion. The rest Is snarled in conflict for materials and equipment with the high- octane aviation gasoline program and, to. a lesser degree, with the escort ship construction program and with aircraft. (Other reliable sources said Jeffers' additional requests had been laid before President Roose velt, in an effort to get a final decision on the treatment to be accorded these conflicting "must" programs. Jeffers would not confirm or comment upon this. (Thcso sources, not quotable by name, reported that the "spe cial direction" for 20 per cent of the synthetic program gave It priority over all but equip ment ..being produced for the North African campnign and such other urgent contracts as had triplc-A priority standing and could be completed this month.
