Germons Make
Desperate Bid to
Halt Onslaught
BY HENRY CASSIDY

MOSCOW, Oct. 7-(R-Mar-
shall Semeon Timoshenko's coun-
terdrive between the Don and
the Volga bit deeper today into
the North flank of the German
wedge into Stalingrad and Rus
sian dispatches said the Germans
were falling back desperately
upon trench warfare in an at
tempt to halt the onslaught and
save their positions.
At Stalingrad, whose fate
hung in the balance, the Ger
mans hurled whole new divi-
sions, fresh from the march, in
to the bitter street fighting
against outnumbered defenders
who sagged before the impact
but surged back and held
through the 44th day of siege.
Dispatches from the battle
front said that across the Steppes
Northwest of Stalingrad the Of
fensive was firmly in Russian
hands in q relief attack of in
creasing scope against hastily
dug German trench lines stud
ded with half-sunken tanks as
strong points.
At one point along the line
the RusSiaps reported killing h
400 RuSnanian troops and capt
uring others who tried to hold a
small village, and in other Sec
tors the counter-thrust was de-
clared to be gaining ground and
improving the Russian position.
The army newspaper Red
Star said . dangerous situation
developed as the Germans
reached the depth of an indus
trial settlement, but heavy So
Wet counter attacks cleared
much of the area. The Red Army
men were reinforced by night
and new fighter planes flew to
their aid.

was disclosed today BY the Ger
man hikh coTAinand in '1rep6tt
which Indicated that only . sin
gle German escaped the swoop.
The small channel island was
one of those the Germans seized
from the British at the end OF
June, 1910.
The disclosure was made In .
section of the daily Berlin war
bulletin, which made q lengthy
complaint of the treatment Of
German soldiers in British hands
and repeated previous asser-
tons that sometimes the Ger
mans were handcuffed or bound.
EXTENT VAGUE
No mention was made of raids
On nearby Guernsey or Jersey;
principal islands of the channel
group, where the Nazis gained
their first foothold on British
soil quickly after the fall OF
France.
Complaining Of the British
treatment of Germans captured
at Dieppe Aug 10, the high
command said:
~ similar incident occurred
on the channel Island of Sark on
oct. 4, when during the early

commissioned officer and four

call up the bill at the first op-

Senate sentiment for q bill

Shift Germans

Hitler Guards
Aaoinst New Thrust

ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. 12-
R-As . result of the new
American British offensive in
North Africa Adolf Hitler was
reported today to be withdraw
ing troops from the Russian
front and moving them hastily
westward to protect his flank
against . possible Allied thrust
across the Mediterranean.
According to one weu-inform-
ed source, who may not be
named. preparations are being
made by the Germans to billet
40 divisions from the Russian
front in Hungary and Yugo-
slavia - or approximately q
quarter of the entire Nazi forces
now battling the Red Army.
Such withdrawal, il carried
out, obviously would relieve
pressure on the Russians and
might enable them to launch a
winter offensive with good
chances Of success, it was stated.
Advices from Istanbul last
night said that Rumanian and
Hungarian railroads already
were crowded with German
troops moving westward in the
general direction Of Greece
and Italy.
The movements appeared to
be entirely defensive and there
seemed n, reason to believe that
they constituted . possible
threat to Turkey, it was stated
here.
