Reporting typical Stalingrad

told how a detachment of Nazi
tommy gunners installed themselves
in a four-story building.
TOSSED FROM WINDOWS
Russians, armed with grenades
and machine guns, attacked the
building. They rushed the entrance
and fought their way up the stair
case, cleaning it out room by room.
BY the time the Russians had won
the building the ground outside
was Uttered with the bodies of slain
Nazis, tossed from windows.

The government newspaper IL

the most smashing attacks they
could muster. The situation still
was serious, Izvestia said, but the

MOSCOW, Sept. 22-UP)-Front
line dispatches today said Red ar"
my troops were smashing back
across rubble-filled streets and blaZ-
ing blocks of houses to drive the
Germans out of several Stalingrad
sectors in the bloodiest combat of
the war.
Can exchange telegraph dispatch
from Moscow reported that the
Russians scored a half-mile advance
in one Stalingrad districtD
For the first time in days, Soviet
dispatches from the embattled Vol
ga city indicated that the Russians
were regaining, in part and posi-
bly temporarily, the initiative on
several portions of the front.
Using machine guns, hand gren-
AIDES and rifle butts, the Soviets
were described as battering their
way into Nazi-held buildings and
exterminating the German troops,
room by room.
REGIMENTS WIPED OUT
German losses were reported so
heavy that whole regiments had
virtually disappeared, front reports
said. The battle was being fought,
the Soviet youth newspaper Komso-
molskaya Prayda said, under the
most dismal conditions imaginable.
Most of Stalingrad was in ruins
or ablaze from the constant rain

PRISONERS QUOTED
Front-line dispatches reported
that the Russians had counter-at-

German prisoners said shock di-
visions sent TO Stalingrad had suf-
fered enormous losses and many
regiments had had to Withdraw for
reorganization. Single battalions,
the prisoners were quoted, were be-
ing former of what had been two
battalions.
Soviet artillery and trench NOR

RUINS SET AFIRE

RUINS SET AF1EE
But failing to take Stalingrad by
storm, the Germans had set it ON
fire by dropping thousands of in
diary bombs IN daylight attacks, the
Communist party organ Pravda re-
ported.
A pail of smoke covered the city
and ferocious fighting ragged from
house to house, courtyard to court
yard and street to street.
Pravda said the Germans had
hoped their shock divisions, tanks
and artillery would take the city
quickly, but because of the unre-
lenting resistance, the Germans
had intensified bombing attacks,
and their planes still dropped in
cendiaries by the thousands caus-
ing many fires in the ruins.
Stalingrad had been bombed from
the outset of the battle and shelled
and bombed at the same time for
days and there was little left for
the planes to destroy

ed in an unequal but all-out fight.
Russian fighters had engaged in SIS

days, shot down so German planes

German and Russian positions
were separated by only several
yards. They fired point blank at
each other, fought with bayonets
until they were broken and then
used the butts of their rifles for

The Russians were trying to sub
due the holocaust the fire bombs
had caused, and at the same time
attacked the Germans in the
streets and in houses, often fighting
from floor to floor, in an effort to
recover lost positions.

derailed q westward bound freight
train, fortunately without loss OF
life. so our Rio Grande passenger
train was rerouted by Reno and
the High Sierras, instead Of going
through Feather Canyon according
to schedule.
The result was that when we
reached Reno, all of the women
passengers during our brief stop
there made an especial point Of
getting of and frantically scribbling
postals to be mailed from there for
the bewilderment of their families
back home. 1t was amusing, too, to
see harassed train officials herding
these feminine passengers back into
their Pullmans at the very last sec
ond. apparently all unaware Of what
had caused the especial interest in
this stop over many others along
the way.
Interest In Soldiers.
To all of us civilians on this
transcontinental train ride our SOL
dier travelling companions are easily
the most interesting Of our fellow
passengers.
Such is our admiration of their
clean-cut setup, poise and serious
dignity we find ourselves wishing
that their folks back home were
having our opportunity to see them
at this favorable close range.
They are from every State and
from every station in life, typical
American boys all, en- route from a
Southern camp to q Pacific Coast
destination. They have come from
cities and towns, from farms, from
high schools, universities and every
type Of environment. and the gen.
eral composite is one to be proud
Of from every angle. Their av-
erage age is perhaps % to "A. Many
are as young as 20. Notable is the
fine attitude of good comradeship
between officers and men, with per-
feet respect and good feeling ap-
parent on both sides.
In the trains observation car one
afternoon we saw q private stand
and offer his seat "a choice one
from the standpoint of the pano-
ramic sweep Of mountain scenery to
be viewed from it, to his lieutenant.

teously but chose another nearby.

train that is taking us westward
from Washington in this wartime is
a long one, filled to capacity.
Few Of the passengers are women.
Practically no one is in the care
free, vacation class Nearly every
one, from the soldiers in uniform
on through various groups is either
directly occupied in helping to win
the war or in meeting the wartime
exigencies. Representatives of va
riouS commercial firms supplying
the sinews of war and the special
lists and skilled scientists whose
talents alike have been requisitioned
to help in this emergency compare
notes as to the pooling of their
resources.
There is little discussion of the
war itself in the comparative nom
availability of current newspapers
but great deal of comment on
the various phases Of supply and
demand or as to how technical
processes may be shortened. What
to do in the way of readily avail
able substitutes when present sup
plies are exhausted is another trans
continental subject of conversation.
Restful City.
When we reach Chicago, we who
make our homes in Washington
actually find this larger city restful
in the interlude of several hours
between trains. There is notably
absent the underlying tense ex-
element of our Capital City as the
hub of a nation at war.
Even the narrow, crowded streets
OF Chicago's downtown area do not
seem to be as crowded with pedes-
trians as are those of our Nations
Capital at corresponding time
during the day.
From the top of our sightseeing
bus 1t Is distinct relief, too, to
gaze upon the miles and miles of
Chicago's beautiful lake front parks
and to find them entirely free of
steam shovel destroying their ver-
dant stretches of carefully tended
lawns. This in direct contrast to
their daily increasing presence upon
our Mall, preliminary to more and
more housing and dormitory quar-
ters to meet the constantly increas-
ing need for temporary quarters in
wartime Washington.
Some Hotels Communicated.
However. there is plenty of evi-
dence that Chicago is being called
to meet the war situation in other
ways. One of the longest of her
recreation piers jutting far out into

Chicago's municipal parking lots

the ban on tire sales was put into
effect, although Chicago with its
pipe line facilities is hopeful that
its gasoline rationing will not be
as strict as along the Eeastern
seaboard.

Long, heavily laden freight trains
with powerful half million dollar en-
gines pulling enormous loads of war
emergency supplies take precedence
over the passenger service. This
has happened to us several times.
From sidings. which in normal times
would be the temporary ways for
freight trains, we watch them roar
by with their precious priority car
loads.
Often we see combination freight
and passenger trains on local routes.
Snowstorms 1t Denver.
After leaving Denver we were for
tunate enough to ride through a
series of snowstorms which made a
unique contrast with the general
lush beauty of the springtime and
orchards in full bloom.
Often the enjoyment of some par
ticularly magnificent vista of noun
tain scenery has been combined with
twinge of envy on our part as we
would sight sturdy oil pipe lines
carrying their burden of the precious
fluid we may be needing so badly in
the East during this coming winter
for heating our homes and buildings.
