WHILE THE astonishing
Red army still holds like a
steel wall in Stalingrad, every
passing day adds new clouds
to the already dark picture of
Germany's raw materials front
on which the war may even
tually be decided.
Hitler has made huge gains
In Russian territory but de-
.eisive victory has eluded him.
To win he must either destroy
the fighting power of the So
Wet armies or deprive Russia
OF so great a portion Of her
resources that she will col
lapse of economic strangula-
ton.
Neither of these results has
been achieved nor seems likely
10 be achieved in the near
future.
EAZI ARMIES have over
! run territories approximating
the area of Texas and New
Mexico, with most Of Cali
fornia thrown in, but reports
agree that thus far hardly a
pound of supplies from the
conquered districts has been
moved to Western Europe.
One Of the reasons is lack
a transportation. The other
is the manner in which re-
treating Soviet forces have
applied the scorched earth
policy.
In their campaigns of this
year and last, the Germans
. have conquered about a third
OF Russia's grain producing
! area. The fields Of the
! Ukraine and the Kuban
stsppss n formally produce
more than 10000, 900 tons Of
cereals.
These areas also produced
millions Of pounds Of beef and
pork. But in spite Of this the
bread and meat rations in Ger
many still remain at bedrock
level and 1t has been necessary
TO move food as well as muni-
lions East to feed the Nazi
armies.
HITLER HAS overrun dis
tricts producing about half of
Russia's coal and nearly two
thirds Of her iron, but not a
ton Of either Of these badly
needed materials has been
moved out for the benefit Of
Germany's ravenous munitions
factories.
In regard to oil, the situa-
hon Is the same. At Maikop,
the Nazis have occupied fields
producing about 10 per cent
Of Russia's petroleum.
But the fields were so thor
oughly sabotaged that, six
months ut least must elapse
before they can be brought
back to production.
EVEN If production can
be restored TO mines and oil
fields, and crops can be raised
next year on the steppes, the
Nad problem will remain far
from solution because of
transportation difficulties.
Key to the Man problem OF
moving their loot is the fight

SECOND SUB SEEN

After dispatching the Pietro
Calvi the Lulworth's men saw the
second enemy submarine rise up
to the rear of the one sunk. The
Lulworth opened fire. scoring
several hits on the coming tower
of the second submarine and
forcing hei to crash dive.
1t was considered possible that
this sub, too, may have been so
severely crippled as to be unable
again to rise to the surface.
The Lulworth is one Of nine
United States Coast Guard cutters
transferred 10 the British navy In
1941.

Odds Still
Against
2d Front
Registered U. 8. patent onics
BY KINGSBURY SMITH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The
odds today remain against the
of a major second front
in western Europe this year despite
the intensified Russian pressure
for such a move.
Such is the view which prevails
generally in United Nations diplo-
matte circles here in the wake OF
Wendell WILKES MoscowNEtate-
ment urging the United States and
Great Britain TO act now.
WILKES enthusiasm for an Inn
Anglo-American attempt
to invade the western European
on large scale is con-
understandable in view OF
the effect which personal contact
with the Soviet leaders and the
Russian fighting men at the front
had on his impressionable nature
Detroit evening times., 1942-09-28
THINK RISK TOO GREAT

However, responsible diplomatic
sources in Washington doubt that
Willkie's action in championing
the Soviet demands will induce
the lo-American military lead
ers to change their present plans
of strategy.
Latest diplomatic advices from
London indicate that the British
high command still does not think
the great risk involved in attempt
ing 10 establish a major diversion
front in western Europe this year
would be warranted, especially
since Britain would have to bear
the brunt of such an attempt, and
might. if the effort was unsuccess-
full, come out of il without any
first class army left to defend the
British Isles.

REPORT PRINCESS HELD

1t was reported that the Ameri-
can-born Princess de Poniatowsky,
the former Elizabeth Sperry OF
Stockton, Cal, was among those
held.
In their roundup, which had
been in progress for some days
before news of it reached Vichy,
police seized all Americans who
had been living at central Paris
hotels, including the Bristol. which
by arrangement had been set aside
for the fixed residence of Ameri-
cans since the United States en-
tered the war.
The Vichy government Saturday
forbade all citizens of nations at
war with the Axis, including
Americans, TO travel by Vichy
commercial planes in France or
the French empire.

JABBER LIKE MONKEYS

They started jabbering and yell
ing like monkeys. attempting to
draw the fire of the marine front
line.
The marines stood fast without
firing.
A force OF enemy troops swan
silently across the Lunga River
and hit a marine platoon from the
rear.
The platoon position became un-
tanable. and the marines retired,
step by step with their bayonetS
thrusting into the enemy troops,
to join the adjoining platoon in a
stronger position.
Some other sections OF the line
bent in. But the marine artillery
