ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

ANYTHING may come out OF the
REORGANIZATION of government in
formation service. Army and Navy
apparently will be left autonomous.
but how all the Others can or Will
be pulled together, no one has yet
decided.
Creation of a single agency to
administer the food program,
as in the last war, is also being
talked of. Currently, Lease

and the WIPE have fingers in
the big meat and vegetable
pie.
All these agencies try to work
together when their interests con-
llict and liaison men between
agencies are everywhere trying to
keep everyone informed on what
everyone else is doing But it's a
big government and to be guilty
Of a gross understatement trying
TO run it by co-ordinators hasn't
been exactly Utopian or symbolic
of the perfect statecraft. Maybe
more bosses are needed

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

In addition, there are several
high-up administrative jobs run by
CO. ordinatorS, though they aren't
called that
Archibald MacLeish is diree-
tor of the Office of Facts and
Figures, but has no authority
and the best he can do is try
to coordinate the dozens OF
non military, government in
formation services all over
Washington.
Milo Perkins is director of the
Board of Economic Warfare, but
hasn't any check book and con-
seouentlv no real authorit". 1t has
been reported BEW would like to
absorb Lease-Lend and others.
A few new top jobs in Washing
ton are in the making, however,
and whether they are to be run
by co-ordinators or cars may make
a lot of difference. There is to be
a new top organization to head up
all the agencies dealing with food,
and a new organization to direct
the information services, and a new
organization to direct manpoWer
mobilization.
Discussing the manpOwer
mobilization, the President has
indicated he is debating whe-
Their a new setup will be Great
ed or whether supervision over
the old agencies may be pos
sible through a small cO-Ordi-
mating committee.
Half a dozen existing depart
ments now have their mitts in the
menpower melange, Department OF
Labor. WPA. the labor division OF
WPB. the U. S. Employment Ser
vice of the Federal Security Agen-
cy. the Selective Service boardS
and the several manpoWer training
agencies. Maybe they can be made
to pull together by q, "co-ordlna-
tor" although the President is said
to dislike the word now, and the
internal row among most of these
agencies as to who is to be boss
makes one of the livelier serial
stories now running around inside
the palace walls.

FURTHER RETREAT
The army organ Red Star report
ed further retreat on a sector
northwest of Norovossisk and fierce
battles everywhere else on that
front. The enemy, with overwhelm-

directions, by land and sea.
CThis seemed to indicate that
the Germans were making a frontal
attack on Novorossisk from the
Kerch peninsula, scarcely SO miles

The Russians also fought delay

In the Mozdok area, they thwarted
numerous enemy attempts to force
a water barrier, evidently the Terek

miles above Grozny.
A large force of enemy tommy
gunners finally crossed, but was
surrounded and exterminated to the
last man, dispatches said Soviet
airmen were credited with shooting
down 18 German planes and dam

the progress of the Russians in their

Raj Bombers in
Force DropLoads
On German CITY

LONDON, Sept. 3. (UP)-Western
Germany felt the might of the Royal
air force for the second night in
row when a strong force of bomb
ers last night blasted the railroad
shops and industries at Karlsruhe.
The admitted loss of eight planes
indicated that at least 200 bombers
participated in the raids which cov-
cred the upper Rhineland.
simultaneously other bomber for
nations repeatedly attacked Nazi-
held north France, concentrating
on the Dunkirk area.
The first crews returning from
Germany reported their bombs set
very large" fires at Karlsruhe. A
heavy pail of smoke, rising up to
5000 feet, covered the city.
ON RAILROAD
karlsruhe lies 33 miles southwest
of Heidelberg on the railroad run
ming from Frankfort-on Main to
Basle, Switzerland.
The city has large railroad shops
and one of its principal industries
is the manufacture of locomotives
Damage to these shops would be
serious blow to the Germans whose
transportation problems have be-
come increasingly acute. Karlsruhe
also manufactures carriages, tools
and machinery, watches and surgi-
cal instruments.
"a DNB news agency dispatch
said British bombers attacked the
Rhineland at several points last
night, claiming that six machines
were downedD
1t was the eighth time the RAF
has bombed Karlsruhe which had
its first raid Sept. II, 1941.
VITAL CENTER
Besides its industrial Importance,
Karlsruhe is vital transport CEN
ter with heavy river traffic in
coal and timber. 1t also has extern
sive railroad yards.
Leading industries include the
main factory of the Deutsche Waf-
fen Und Munition Werke, an arma-
mentS plant, and the Deutsche
Pneumatic AG., which manufac-
lures synthetic rubber.
RAF bombers opened their attacks
on north France about midnight.
Residents on the English seacoast
saw searchlight batteries in and
around Dunkirk finger the sky for
about a half hour.
Frequently vivid flashes lighted up
the night as the bombers dumped
their explosive over the targets. !
The detonations we're so powerful
they repeatedly shoog town on the
English side of the channel.
Four hours later new bomber for
nations attacked the Dungirk re-
gion again for about 20 minutes.

retired for the night.
The German Afrika Korps, spear
head of the attack which Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel hoped
would smash the British eighth
army to take him on to Alexan-
dria, Suez and the greatest triumph
of his career, first approached the
British lines late Monday, feeling
out their strength.
They retired to camp for the
night and started a new attack
Tuesday. They reached the main
British defense lines again that
afternoon, but when they found
the British ready for a decisive
test of strength they retired again,
to remain inactive throughout yes
terday.

Russians acknowledged today an
other retreat southwest of Stain

path between them and their objec-

The battle had mounted to heights
of ferocity probably unequalled in

had concentrated TREMENDOUS forces
on a narrow salient to break

along the whole area southwest of
Stalingrad and the Volga river line.

Front line dispatches reported

regiments of infantry and artillery

blasted Russian first line defenses.

The Germans made four attacks.

Minister Hubert Evatt told the fed

situation was brighter than he had
thought possible six months ago.
There is a growing realization. he
said, that as result of the battles

opportunities to strike further hard
blows at the japanese.
If such opportunities are not
grasped, he warned, they may dis
appear.

of the United States fleet after
Pearl Harbor, which he said many
had thought knocked out of the

NaZiS Lack
Planes for
All Fronts

LONDON. Nov. II (UP).-Ab-
sence Of German air patrols over
northern France and nonappear-
ance Of luftwafTe craft over Brit
ain in recent days seemed TO offer
proof today that the Nazis lacked
planes TO cover every front.
Aviation circles which for some
time have been pointing out that
the luftwaffe has been under
heavy strain in Russia and Egypt,
were convinced now that the Ger
man air force has been extended
to its utmost by new commitments
in North Africa and occupation of
the whole of France.
The luftwaffe was caught on
the wrong foot by the British
American move in North Africa
and probably is hastily regrouping
all available forces, including some
planes withdrawn from Russia.
But whatever strength the luft-
waite may be able TO throw into
the battle of Tunisia, it will not
be able TO draw too many from
the Russian front, for the Ger
mans have before them the fresh
lesson of the British Eighth Army
as 10 what happens when air cover
is lacking or gravely inferior.
There was no doubt in air cir
Giles that the Allies would get
