mans, who in order to avoid en-
circlement pulled their two
mechanical divisions out of
Rostov on-Don and withdrew to
a line some 80 miles behind the
key to the Caucasus"
1t appears from available re-
ports that the weakening Of the
southern German army was due
to the decision of the high COM
mand TO capture Moscow by
powerful trip-hammer blows. On
October the Fuehrer told the
German people that the backbone
of Russias resistance had been
broken and he solemnly prom
ised that Moscow and Leningrad
would fall in a few weeks.
Sure They Could Take Moscow.
The German high command
appears to have actually believed
that a powerful push would over
come the resistance of MoscoW's
defenders. Adolf Hitler and his
generals are said to have been
so fully convinced of the FEAST
bility of this plan that instead
of waiting for reinforcements
from the Reich they brought up
to the northern front some of the
best divisions from the Crlmean-
Ukrainian front and threw them
into battle.
The Germans did make some
progress; they hammered deep
dents into MoscoW's defenses.
But they did not take Moscow or
Leningrad. Meanwhile Marshal
TimoShenko did not waste time.
With the reinforcements from
Siberia he reorganized his army
and bitZed the Germans, who
were marking time before launch

Bruising instrument Killed
Mrs. Torrance, Doctors Say
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTERREY, Mex, Dec. 3.-Two
doctors who performed an autopsy
on the exhumed body Of Mrs. Ada
Loveland Torrance testified late
yesterday at the murder trial Of her
husband. DR.. Arthur Torrance. that
her fatal wounds were caused by
"a bruising instrument"
One of the doctors, Raimundo
Cara, said the wounds might have
been caused by contact with the
inside OF an automobile, but that
he did not think all of them could
have been caused in that manner.
DR.. Torrance contends his wife
was injured fatally when she
swerved their honeymoon car into
ditch north of here November 8.
The State contends he struck his
bride on the head with q vacuum
bottle.
The other doctor, Ramiro Sepul-
veda, said the multiple bruises and
fractures which he observed could
have been produced by striking the
inside Of the car only II 1t had over
turned.
Torrance says the car did not
overturn, but merely ran OF the
road.

sectors but did not take Marshal
Won Rundstedt by surprise. Some
of his forces already had been
withdrawn to the northern front.
Only two divisions were reported
to have been left to cover the
Rostov sector, and when Marshal
Timoshenko's attack material
lied, these divisions were pulled
out as fast as their tanks and
armored cars could carry them.
Soviet Success Discounted.
In this action a part Of the
German divisions and some war
materials were lost to the Rus
slams. 1t is likely that the Nazis
had to abandon more mechanical
equipment than the Russian
communique has announced, for
the Russian troops are so close
on the heels Of the Germans that
they have not had time to take
complete inventory Of their
booty.
But in spite of this signal sue
cess military experts in Wash
ington are hesitant to proclaim
the recapture of Rostov a para
mount victory. If Marshal Won
Rundstedt is capable of stopping
the Russians at prepared posi-
tions 30 miles west of Rostov and
thus Strengthening out the line,
the fighting in Southern Russia
will soon reach a deadlock again.

whole story.

| For example, in the current issue
Of single magazine there are three
separate articles by as many public
officials. One is by Harry Hopkins,
special representative of the Presi-
dent abroad and his bosom friend
at home. A second is by the "dy-
manic Donald Nelson" as the
publicity agents call the executive
secretary of the S. P. A. B. The
third is by our former Ambassador
| to Russia and Belgium, Joseph
Davies, recently attached to the
State Department and likely at any
moment to be further honored.
Scattered around in other weekly
and monthly publications were other
articles by those holding important
governmental posts. Secretary Of
the Navy Knox had ghost written
pieces in no less than three. Mrs.
Roosevelt, who apparently has taken
over the Office OF Civilian Defense
as a personal possession, was. of
course, in the Ladies' Home Journal,
and there were others. The stage
has been reached where it is almost
! routine for cabinet members and
departmental heads to capitalize
/ their positions in this way.
Some Have Agents.
Some of them have literary agents
who peddle their product. A few
write the pieces themselves, and
wait to be asked. But, in many
cases, the writing is done by some
one else and the official merely
collects for his signature. Some
give all or part of the money to
charity. Mr.. Knox, for example, de-
clared at a press conference that
| the $4,000 he had received was di-
vided between the men who had
done the writing and the Navy Re-
/ lief Society. Mrs. Roosevelt has
said that she gives her large radio
earnings to charity, but so far as
] can Dc ItCdIIcu Sic has llOJ Solu
what she does with all Of her maga-
zine and newspaper receipts. Some
I just frankly pocket the money.
1t really is an astonishing state Of
affairs. And 1t is a distinct develop
ment of the New Deal-indigenou
TO the Roosevelt administration. In
previous administrations 1t was gen.
orally accepted that high public
officials made speeches to present
their points of view, but they did
not write articles for pay. Certainly,
it was considered way below the
dignity of the President or his wife
to DO that kind of thing. Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt early pushed that
ethical standard aside, and the liter
airy output of the latter has been as
prodigious as it has been lucrative.
With such an example it is not
surprising that all down the line
others in the administration should
follow suit. Why not? 1t opened up
