These new methods, he said, demonstrated the possibilities in herent in "continuous, calculated application of air power" and opened the way to "new and broadened strategic and tactical concentions. These, he declared, "will per mit the application of offensive power in swift, massive strokes rather than the dilatory ana costly island-to-island advance that some have assumed to be necessary in a theater where the enemy's far-flung strongholds are dispersed throughout a vast expanse of archipelagoes. Allied air power continued to shake the Japanese in their remaining strongholds in the New Guinea area over the week end. - Airdromes at Rabaul and Gasmata, on New Britain island, and shore installations at Lae and Salamaua, on the northeast coast of New Guinea, were at tacked. An enemy merchantman was bombed in the Solomon sea 130 miles west of the Shortland islands. A weekend communique said 145 more Japanese had been killed in ground fighting on Guadalcanal island. Flying Fortresses attacked the Japanese at Rekata bay on San to Isabel island Friday, and at Kahili on Ballale island in the Northwestern Solomons Satur day, the communique said. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) note they were trying to trap us into doing something they WANTED us to do, and you may be equally sure that if we did it it wasn't just out of bravado. Our leaders are too smart to fall into any such trap. If we're driving to the Mediterranean coast in that general area we know what we're doing, and probably MEAN BUSINESS. That's what Rommel fears. If he doesn't stop at the Mareth line, that will be why. , j... . THE most significant Russian x 'fighting tddar is in the net work or railroads north and west of Rostov.

HPHIS is the conclusion that A would be TRAGICALLY wrong: "We've got the enemy by the tail with a down-hill pull, and can afford to LET DOWN in our efforts." The time to pull our- belts tighter and hit harder than ever Is when (and if) our enemies are beginning to show signs of weak ening. RESIDES, there are no depend 13 able signs that the JAPS are weakening. They're just re maining unaccountably quiet, Gray-Haired Buckaroos Show Up the Youngsters SALEM, Jan. 25 UP) Dr. W. H.

Private enterprise will play the dominant role In the economy of post-war America, says Vice President Wallace, but govern ment must "accept the major re sponsibilities for filling what ever gaps business leaves. "We can have full employ ment in this country without destroying private initiative, pri vate capital or private enter prise," Wallace told an Inter viewer yesterday, and added: "Horatio Alger Is not dead in America and never will be." Private Business, Duty Wallace, a leading advocate of post-war planning, said that "the spirit of competition will and. must continue to be one of our main driving forces." "The more private enterprise succeeds in maintaining full em ployment, the less government spending will be required," the vice president, who also is chair man of the board of economic warfare, declared. . Wallace envisioned the future America as a nation "where all can become members of the mid dle class where all can share in the benefits which that class has enjoyed in the past." Among those benefits he listed a comfortable home for the worker, an automobile, "decent" clottfes, books and recreatioiWT CITY OF ROSTOV (Continued From Page One) the railroad city of Peschanoko pskoye and threatening the key German stronghold at Rostov, 95 miles to the northwest, from its softest flank, the Russians said today. This important advance in the Russian drive to destroy all the German forces south of Rostov was reported a few hours after a special -Russian communique announced the capture of Staro- belsk, 125 miles southeast of Kharkov, the important indus trial center of the Ukraine. Other Russian forces, farther north, already are within 78 miles of Kharkov. Naiis Liquidated (A Moscow broadcast was quoted by Reuters in London as saying nearly 3000 more Ger mans had been captured in the Kamenka-Rossosh sector below Voronezh in the pasts 24 hours, making a total of some 70,000 prisoners taken in 11 days. (The mid-day soviet communi que as recorded by the soviet radio Monitor in London said that in this area where the Rus sians have pressed closest to ancient Kharkov another enemy group had been liquidated and 1100 officers and men taken prisoner. Included in"the booty, it was reported, were 260 trucks. Another unidentified community was said to have been captured. (The Germans were reported resisting stubbornly, sometimes in hand-to-hand fighting, and one place changed hands several times before finally being occu pied by the red army.) MMBi WALLACE SEES BUSINESSMAN PjPNOwTS E ESCAPE ROUTE (Continued From Page One) of the contested highlands and the Ousseltla valley between Point du Fain and Kairouun' developed as a Cairo communi que announced that British eighth army troops "continued their advance to the west" from Tripoli yesterday. A German thrust in the Ous seltia valley was halted. Rommel's route of retreat, which Von Arnlm is trying des perately to keep open, lacks the natural barriers along the Gulf of Gabes that it has in the mountains and desert wastes in other Tunisian areas. Air Blows Loosed Another threat to Rommel's forces appeared as it was an nounced tnat Brig. Gen. Jacques Leclerc's lighting French troops hurrying up from equatorial Af rica had reached the Jebel Ne fusa, a range of hills southwest of Tripoli, and had only 30 more miles to go to reach the Mediterranean. Powerful aerial blows were loosed by medium bombers up on an airdrome immediately west of Medenine, a Tunisian town 60 miles west of the Trip olitanian frontier, and an allied headquarters spokesman said from 25 to 30 axis aircraft were believed to have been destroy ed on the ground. 8th in Tunisia? These sweeps were correlated with others against Zuara, 65 miles west of Tripoli, the Port of Sousse, axis shipping and Sicilian bases. The Morocco ra dio said the axis air force over Tripolitania was growing "weak er and weaker." It was considered possible that British vanguards already had speared into Tunisia. Virtually all - of Rommel's forces perhaps some 60,000 to 70.000 men were - reported in Tunisia and the speed of their flight indicated they might not even pause for a stand at the Mareth line,. the system of de fenses which, the French erect ed before the war some 69 miles west of the Libyan border. Yanks Mais Possibility ' that the allies even now were preparing ' for such a thrust was seen in axis radio reports that a huge force of American troops was massing at Tebessa on the Algerian-Tu nisian frontier, about 14a miles west, of Sfax.
