Bloody Affair The Germans acknowledged the fall of Rostov, and also Voroshilovgrad to the north, but said it was a methodical with drawal of , German ' forces in which all military installations were destroyed. Russian dispatches, however, said the capture of the city of 500,000, once described by the Germans as the spigot to Cau casus oil, was a bloody affair in which the Russians charged through the city's modern streets against Germans who had been directed to stand to the last FUNERALS CAROLINE MATILDA (KAY) STEBBINS Friends are respectfully in vited to attend the funeral serv ices for the late Caroline Ma tilda (Kay) Stebbins to be held Tuesday morning at Sacred Heart church.

'THE regular pattern of bomb- Ing in Gormany and Italy goes on with heavy raids last night.

TMAGINE Detroit being bombed A ever day or so. Our produc tion of war materials would GO DOWN. If Los Angeles and San Diego were bombed every day or so, our production of planes would go down. If Portland were bombed every fow days, our production of ship would go down. It couldn't be otherwise. 'THE news from the battlcfronU today isn't all good. In Tunisia, the Germans have apparently hit us pretty hard. Just how hard isn't clear from the censored dispatches. It is probablo the Germans have more strength in Tunisia than the uniformly optimistic tone of the dispatches has led us to believe. Our leaders, of course, KNOW. In judging the news for yourself, you must keep always in mind tho perfectly obvious fact that the day-to-day tone of the news (which Is avail able to the enemy as well as to us) is to the general effect that our side has everything safely under control. You can be pretty sure the bat tle of Tunisia, when lt finally gets under way in earnest, will be a tough one. ... , "N the home front, the house appropriations sub-commit-tee, voting six to one, turns down a request from FDR for $100,000,000 for INCENTIVE payments to farmers to increase tho production of food. This Is the point involved: Under "IncontlVe" payments, the farmer sells at celling prices and his losses are made up by SUBSIDY payments from the treasury thus postponing the evil day of payment and adding to the debt. Under hlghor prices, the public would PAY NOW and the transaction would be ended. The farmer is insisting on higher prices instead of sub sidies.
