xnand asserted that the Germans
"repulsed all mass attacks of the
Soviets . . . and carried through
their movements as planned."
Military analysts Interpreted the
movements-as-planned phrase as
indicating that the Germans were
sittempting a methodical witn
drawal perhaps a retreat to
the 1942 nail summer line.
Dlvlde-and-Annihllate
The red armies were exploit
ing the same divide and annua
late tactics used by Hitler in his
first devastating sweep Into the
USSR 19 months ago.
Soviet dispatches said the Rus
sians were steadily closing a
pincers on the German-held Mai
kop oil fields, attacking from the
northeast end the southwest, and
also hammering a wedge be
tween nazl forces in the Maikop
sector and others immediately
below Rostov.
Hull Followed
The wedge was pointed at
newly-recaptured Kalrubolots
kaya, only 18 miles northeast of
the key rail hub at Tikhoretsk,
with red army columns apparent
ly driving at a rapid clip toward
the sea of Azov down the Stalin-
grad-Novorosslsk rail line from
Salsk.
. Other soviet troops striking
up the Baku-Rostov railway
Were reported only eight miles
southeast of Kropotkln, lust be
low Tikhoretsk, after a total ad
vance of 215 miles from Mozdok
in the lower Caucasus.
Far to the north, in the Vor
onezh sector, the plight of the
nazl Invasion armies appeared
to be growing blacker by the
hour, with thousands of Ger
mans, including three generals,
surrendering or falling captive
as the Russians stormed toward
Kursk. . .

prime minister drove southward
150 miles to Marrakech, an an
cient Berber and Arab town at
the foot of the Atlas mountains
of French Morocco. There they
spent the night and there they
said their farewells the follow
ing day.
With one intervening stop,
which was not identified, Mr.
Roosevelt and his party flew to
Liberia in two four-motored
army transport planes. They
landed at Robert field, about 50
miles from Monrovia and were

had planned to determine if the
negro could reenact the crime.
The detective captain quoted
Folkes as saying:
"I don't want to see no dead
woman's guests! No, sir, I ain't
gonna do no such thing!"
During the questioning, said
Rasmussen, Folkes stated he had
been cutting steaks In the din
ing car galley, and that any
blood on his clothing probably
came from .the meat. The detec
tive said Folkes' clothing bore
bloodstains, but that Oregon au
thorities would decide if chemi
cal analysis would be made
here.
. Details of the "reported con
fession of Robert Folkes in the
James train murder, received in
newspaper stories, indicate that
Mrs. James was slain in re
buffing a rape attempt, as Klam
ath officers surmised when the
case broke here last week.
According to Los Angeles of
ficers, Folkes said he walked
back and forth by Mrs. James'
berth, unbuttoning the curtains,
after he had seen the girl sitting
on the berth earlier.
He said he got into the berth.
Mrs. James awoke. She ordered
him from the berth, but Instead
he placed a knife against her
throat and continued his ad
vances.. .: . ;i' 1 .-
"I warned her to keep quiet,"
the cook was quoted as saying,
"but she hollered and tried to
throw me out, so I cut her."
Folkes said he had put an over

shot down six axis planes which
attempted to Intervene.
Two Planet Lost
A 12th air force spokosmnn
said the number ot planes used
was the largest it had ever sent
against a single target. Tho Ital
lan high command acknowl
edged that damage was heavy.
Axis troops and vehicles were
bombed and shot up in a series of
other raids from the Pont du
Fahs area to the Ousseltia valley
and three enemy bombers were
reported shot from a small for
mation which attacked Algiers
last night. From all the opera
tions, two allied aircraft were
reported missing.
Stand Doubted
The gradual shortening of
Marshal Rommel's narrow es
cape corridor is illustrated by
the fact that Sfax, on the upper
curve of the Gulf of Gabes, lies
only 150 miles by air northwest
of Zuara.
Despite the fact that Rommel
assigned artillery to the rear
guard In the area of the Tripoli
tanian port, London military
sources reiterated the opinion
that he would not make a real
delaying stand before he reached
the Mareth line. .
Well-placed observers said It
was not yet apparent that the
fifth American army's opera
tions In the Gafsa-Maknassy area
of central Tunisia were of suffl
clent weight to indicate an at
tempt to cut ahead of Rommel
and block his retreat.

Speaking of the Jewish ques

thereon but added that the ques

If you met a lion and a lion
ess and had only one bullet, It

flee then, but If you shot the

Labor Showdown
The Mine Workers' policy com

A showdown on labor's
strength in the new congress al
so Is impending. Congressional
reaction to a bill subjecting
labor groups to penalties of the
1934 anti-racketeering act by
broadening the definitions of
robbery and extortion is expect
ed to indicate whether sharp re
vision of labor laws Is In the
offing.
The measure, overwhelmingly
approved by the house Judiciary
committee yesterday, generally,
was looked upon as a forerunner
of even more far-reaching pro
posals. Including one to modify
the national labor relations act.
Congressional opponents of
the presidential salary limitation
sought to attack a repealer to a
bill lifting the nation's debt
limit from $125,000,000,000 to
$210,000,000,000. If successful,
the maneuver would compel the
president to veto the new debt
authorization or accept revoca

dicate that again they've lost
more than they gained.
Again the dispatches point out

at 791 planes and 87 ships sunk,

THE military mon call this type
A of fighting a "war of attri

whittling away at your enemy,
a little at a time, and so wearing
down his strength until he Is
weaker than you are and can be
LICKED.
In order to be successful in a
war of attrition, you must whit,
tie more away from your enemy
than he whittles away from you.
Tho dispatches (which are rig
idly censored) Indicate that we
have been doing that to the
Japs.
TT seems odd that the Japs keep
coming on, In Insufficient num
bers, to be WHITTLED AWAY.
When will they cease to play this
whittling game?
The answer to that question
would be Interesting. .

the resisting French battleship

Stanford C. Hooper has re

which destroyed the Jean Bart

engineers yesterday.
"As the first blast from our
big guns, 28 miles away, struck
the roslsting French battleship,
an observation plane flashed V
back the word of a direct hit on
the deck, a damaging but not a
fatal blow," ha declared. "A
slight change in elevation was
signaled for. The next salvo
struck the side of the ship at tht
waterllne, smashing her hull be
yond repair. Radio directed and
reported the destruction."
