Reds on Offensive
On NaIchik Front

MOSCOW, Nov. 18.-UPD-Bat-
tie front dispatches said today that
the defenders of Stalingrad again
had stemmed the Germans and that
Red army forces on the offensive
southeast CT Nalchio in the Cauca-
sus had captured two mountains.
The army organ Red Star, review
ing a German advance yesterday
in a northern factory district at
Stalingrad, said the Germans had
paid an exorbitant price for small
gain. In suddenly revived often
Sive, the Germans had tried to ac-
complish their long frustrated pur-
pose of driving to the Vclga, where
ice floes were hampering the de-
livery of supplies to the defenders.
Their gains cost them at least
1000 men, besides go truck and 9TH
er material.
Northwest of Stalingrad, Soviet
artillery dispersed and partly wip-
ed out two companies of Axis in
fantry.
Although the noon communique
reported no new Russian advance
southeast of Nalchik, dispatches
from that area said the Red army
continued to advance.

ONE EXPLANATION
(Palo Alto Times)


Of all the explanations for the Repub-
lican success at the recent election, the
silliest was that advanced by Vice Presi
dent Henry Wallae. His explanation was
that the Republicans are the "well to do
group, who alone had time to go to the
polls, the Democrats being too busy at
their jobs.
In view of the exnortations always ad-
dressed to the people at large to go to
the polls, regardless of their partisan
affiliations, and thereby discharge civic
and patriotic duty, it i'll behooves one of
the rank of vice president of the nation
to attempt to give sinister rating to
those who did so. Besides, his explana-
ton was not based on fact, as he must
know.
In localities where Democratic regis
tration is heavier than Republican, and
vice versa, it is inevitable that the same
ratios will be reflected in the totals of
the respective partisans who go to the
polls. Even though tens of thousands
of Democrats crossed party lines in their
voting last week, they were still register
ed Democrats-and they did find time to
go to the polls.
Vice President Wallace added nothing
to his stature as statesman by his child
iShly absurd talk

THE NEED IS PROVED

1t took a war to force through a high
way from the continental United States
to Alaska.
Even the war has not yet put through
an equally vital highway in the other dir
ection-from the United States to South
America.
Everybody who relishes cup of coffee
will soon be realizing the desirability of
such highway If one were in existence,
there would be no need for rationing cof-
fee-nor any of the other materials
which are so plentiful in the southern
hemisphere.
Commerce between North and South
America is at a comparative standstill
because ships are needed elsewhere, and
for the additional reason that submarines
menace the shipping lines between the
two continents. If there were good high
way running to South America trucks
could carry the commerce. releasing even
the ships which are now tied up on the
South American run.
Such a highway has been the dream Of
far-visioned engineers for many years.
Many links of the road already exist. 1t
would not be an impossible task to COM
plete the whole route in a fairly short
time 1t would be invaluable in wartime,
and of extreme value in peacetime as well,
aiding tourist travel, developing COM
merce to a greater extent, and making
the good neighbor policy something be-
sides a well turned phrase.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-18

1t has long been a fundamental
of American income taxing policy
to encourage the earning of income
in the form of wages, salaries and
other payments for services rem
dered.
Thus the personal income tax
bill still grants 10 per cent, credit
against net income which is earn
ed" as distinguished from that
arising out of inheritance or in
vestment.
But the new federal wage-and-
salary policy, enacted by Economic
Director Brynes into administra-
tive law over the deliberate refusal
of Congress, reverses this estab-
lished policy.
Nobody, whatever his conribu-
tion to industry. is permitted to net
more than $4,000 a year. But the
beneficiary of inherited wealth
whether or not he plants, harvests
or SpinS-can keep as much as
the income tax may leave to him.
Consider the President himself
not in anger or in pity. but be-
cause he provides all excellent text.
AS President, performing the most
trying task in the world today. he
was getting $4,000. which he has
ordered cut to $4,000. AS heir to
a fortune left by his forebears.
which is his only by coincidence of
birth, he will collect each year many
times the net income he will re-
ceive from the United States for
his services as President.
We doubt that such q reversal
OF American tax philosophy will
meet with the approval of the
American people.
But that is by no means the only
injustice contained in this ipse
dixit salary limitation law.
Consider the man whose income
varies from year to year. Over a
period, his incomes averages well
under s25,000 but to maintain that
average he must receive we'll above
S25 900 in some years.
Let's be more specific. Let's take
an athlete, an actor, or any man
who has to cram lifetime'S earn
ings into dozen years or SO. Like
many of his kind he has just one
thing to sell-ability to hit base
ball 400 yards, perhaps, or profile
that makes the girls that way.
Such a peron receives no Spe-
cial Consideration, says Director
BryneS. No exceptions. Herd the
sheep and the goats through the

Convicts Request
Release TO Work

PHOENIX, Nov. 18. CUP)-Gov
Sidney P Osborne today said he
would turn over to the state board
of pardons and paroles a petition
from 100 inmates of the Arizona
state penitentiary asking release
that they might enter the armed
services or work in defense plants.
The petition-received yesterday
said:
I'VE are in prison wasting our
time without the opportunity to
learn trade to help our country,
and it is up to you to make us
better citizens so we can be of
service and good use to our country.
We will do our best to make good,
and make amends. We want to prove
that our intentions are good Many

why should we be kept in prison

STILL THE GREATEST
FIGHTING MACHINE

The United States Navy is still the
: worlds most efficient sea-going fighting
! machine
No matter what mistakes the armchair
admirals may make in Washington, no
matter what criticisms may be made Of
political planning rooted in the capital,
Americas men of the sea can still meet
overwhelming odds and blast their way
through to victory.
The fighting efficiency of the Navy was
demonstrated once again in the new?st
Solomons Island battle. The great losses
inflicted upon the Japanese there, as re-
tailed in official communiques. are un-
doubtedly authentic 1t has never been
the naVys practice to magnify the enc
my'S losses, even if, in some cases, our
own losses have been concealed for a time.
1t is probable, also, that true account
of American losses in the SolOmonS battle
has been given. We say this because there
has been definite indication during the
last several weeks that Washington has
realized the danger in the practice of con-
cealing losses This realization may have
become acute enough to assure us that
we have been told of our major losses as
soon as possible.
One fact we cannot overlook. Even if
we suffered greater losses than we have
been told, the victory was ours. That
could not be concealed, even if there was
a desire to do so. The enemy withdrew,
retreating from the battle scene. The
American fleet was left in undisturbed
possession of the seas thereabouts. That
is the measure of our victory-and it
proves once more the metal of our fight
ing men at sea.
The navy's principal job is to fight a
war, and at that job it is uneXcelled. In
its relations to the public at large, it
may have erred grievously. In its jeal-
ousy of naval tradition, it may have pro-
tested against a unified command which
seems to be the quickest way of driving
the eramy back to his lair. But in the
business of fighting, once the battle
joined, it cannot be surpassed. The Japs
have found that out, and will find it out
again and again.

COMBATANTS
AGAINST IGNORANCE
Science Monitor)


I'm the present war librarians
carry responsibility, says Elmer Davis,
such as they have never carried in our
history >. They are combatants from this
time on
Librarians doubtless have accepted this
challenge. Probably most of them recog-
nize the peoples need for understanding
the issues of the war effort and the prob
lens of postwar planning. Certainly they
are making available the facts and in
formation which contribute to enlighten-
ed, independent thinking. They, if any,
should see the far-reaching effects of
educating people to evaluate current is
sues and make intelligent decisions-deci-
sions which may determine national poll
cy for long time to come
Librarians, like many another, have
found it necessary to gear their efforts
to wartime tempo in spite of the curtail-
ment of staff and expenditures. With
resourcefulness and ingenuity they can
be depended on to supply the books most
in demand. They are using new sources
and materials-films, records, maps, and
radio prOgramS-to supplement their war
information centers. Many are sponsor
ing discussion groups and arranging spe-
clal exhibits. Library associations are
encouraging and furthering these activ-
tiles.
Americas librarians, our observation
seems to prove are exerting every effort
to be of service to nation fighting to
protect world freedom They offer an
opportunity for each individual to obtain
an increased appreciation of his duty to
his country, which includes responsibility
in postwar planning. AS "combatants,'
with lines of action determined, librarians
will fight well on their assigned front

Japs Admit Part
OF Naval Losses
In victoryCIa
BY UNITED PRESS

Japan admitted Wednesday the
loss of battleship, cruiser. three
destroyers and Al planes in the
Solomon Islands naval battle and
damage to a second battleship and
seven transports.
1t claimed the sinking of eioht
United States cruisers. four to five
deStroyerS and one transport and
heavy damage to two battleships,
three cruisers. three to four de-
stroyers and three transports. In
addition, it was said, more than
73 United States planes were de-
jtroyed.
IT'S BOMBSHELL
The admission came in a COM
munique of japanese Imperial
headquarters. Japan had prom
ised a "bombshell" announcement
on the battle, which would mot
only reveal startling war results
TO the diScredit of the United States
.avy" but show the world "a jap
aneSe navy victory so overwhelming
that the United States attempt at
counter offensive in the South
Pacific is thing of the past"
The bomb she'll proved TO be
the extent of losses admitted by
Japan. In giving its version OF
,ast United States naval victories,
Imperial headquarters had admit
ed almost no losses of its own.
Now it had changed its technique
in an apparent attempt to give a
more convincing claim Of q Japa-
nese victory
TEXT OF CLAIMS
The text of the Imperial head
quarters communique, as recorded
by the federal communications COM
mission on the Pacific coast. was:
Imperial naval units, continuing
hostilities since Nov. IL, carried
out fierce attacks on the enemy
base on Guadalcanal Island on the
night of Nov. 13 and inflicted heavy
damage on the air field and ltS
facilities. 4
"On Nov. IA, while eScorting our
transport fleet in the face of fierce
counterattacks by enemy aircraft,
Imperial navy forces encountered
an enemy reinforcement fleet with
two battleships and more than tour
large-type cruisers at point north
west of the island, on the same
night, and after heated encounter,
destroyed the major part OF the
auxiliary units, heavily damaged
two enemy battleships, routing the
enemy fleet in the direction ol
the south
The incomplete statement OF Jap
anese losses followed.
The navy department in WASH
;ngton had revealed that the Japa-
nese lost one battleship, five cruiS-
ers. five destroyers and II trans
ports. The actual American losses
were two light cruisers and six de-
stroyers.
