BATTERED NAZIs RETREAT

MOSCOW, Dec. l. - The severely battered German troops are being hurled back through village after village on the retreat from Rostov and this is the biggest Nazi re- versal in the Russian campaign. The Germans have been unable to stem the advance of the Russians, so hur- riedly are they withdrawing.
 It is unofficially reported a new Soviet thrust has developed in the shell-pocked Donets Basin, north west of Rostov, where the advance might open the corridor to the Sea of Azov which was recently cut off by the Germans.

WATCH STREAMS
OF SPENDING

When spending BY the early
eva and the AAA began. a lot OF
business men sat around mutter-
ing denunciations of the spending
But the great mail order houses
wisely decided the government
WAS paying out this money in
order TO enable workers and farm
ers to spend it They therefore
organized their sales policies to
keep in the path Of those great
streams OF spending And their
balance sheets show the results
The retailer who sits around
mumoling about government poll
.'cies instead OF putting his store
or his bushes in the pathway OF
these great streams of spending is
very foolish merchant The OBJ
Ject of pouring out these billions
Is 10 enable the workers who get
wages 10 spend They are going
to spend them. And they are 60
Ing to spend them with the more
alert merchants.
The retailer. like the producer
FOR that matter has to guard him
self by not permitting inventories
Ia mount in order TO beat rising
prices. He may make lot Of
money by specializing on inven-
tories but he might also go broke
that way by sudden termination
Of the spending orgy.
