the Germans appeared to have been
slowed down somewhat yesterday,
particularly inthe Isimlyanskaya
sector of the bridgeheads but that
the Germans continued TO cross the
Den and appeared to have estab-
lished from two to four bridge
heads at Rostov.
Sharp fighting spread along the
Egyptian desert battlefront, partic-
ularly in the north sector west Of
FL Alamein where handto- hand
battling inflicted considerable cas-
ualties upon Field Marshal Erwin
Rommels Axis forces and netted
prisoners for the British Imperials.
The fighting followed another
limited offensive" by Gen. Sir
Claude Auchinleck, supported by
fighter bombers and light bombers
On the Australian northern in
vasion front, it was revealed, Jap
anese forces have struck out about
80 miles inland from their new
Buna-Gona base on the northern
New Guinea coast, obviously bent
on setting up a base only 55 miles
frcm the Allied advance base at

Clashes between allied and Japa-
nese patrols IN the Oiyi region OF

Army Forces Price Of
Meat Up by Range Buying

CHICAGO, July 28-CUP)-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard said today that the Civil
han consumer may have TO adjust
his meat diet to accommodate the
foodstuff requirements of the arm
ed forces.
Wickard said the army and navy
are buying up prime beef cattle di-
rectly off the range, forcing the
price of cattle higher and making
it difficult for small packers to get
beef for slaughter.
He did not mention price ceilings
on dressed beef, which many pack
ers have cited as a principal cause
of the artificial shortage of beef
in many eastern cities
Wickard warned that if farmers
fail to move their record breaking
hog population to market earlier
than usual this year. it may be-
come necessary TO impose embar-
goes on the shipment of hogs. EN-
bargoes, he said, may be necessary
to prevent oyertaxing the capacity
of slaughter houses when their peak
activity is reached in December.
CAN BE AVOIDED
Such embargoes. he said, would
not be necessary if farmers COOP
crate by sending their hogs to mar
ket early. He said, however, that
q reduction of a cent a pound in
the price paid for hogs earmarked
for lend-lease shipment may re-
tard early deliveries Early ship
ments, he said, would ease the diff
ficultieS of the small packers by
making large quantities of pork
available to them
The lend-lease program is having
little effect on the price of beef

tie are being bought directly from

gestion that embargoes be placed
on the movement of cattle from the
range to the market, SO that they
could be fattened before reaching

You can't embargo the army,
