those sub-contractors will, if nec-
essary, sub-divide their share with
still other manufacturers who
make smaller parts of the tank.
The looked-for result is that ev-
erybody connected with tank-mak-
ing will get exactly enough steel
to make completed tanks, with no
leftover parts.
To begin with, the plan will ap-
ply only to carbon and alloy steel,
copper and aluminium. Other
scarce materials may be put un-
der the plan later, but Ferdinand
Eberstadt, WPB vice chairman,
who will administer it, estimated
that control of these three most
critical materials. would subject to
either direct or indirect control
from rs to 80 percent of all pro-
duction.
The plan was designed primarily
to obtain maximum military pro-
duction but Nelson made it plain
that it also would affect the ci-
william economy.

BRIGADE PRAISED

The executive secretary of the
Brigade Boys club, William A..
Stewart, said yesterday the lads in
this organization did an outstand-
ing job in the newspaper-sponsored
scrap metal campaign, an opinion
that the metal salvage committee
and the Star News heartily en-
dorses.
In an interview, Mrs. Stew
art said:
'The boys of the Brigade Boys
club have done one of the finest
jobs that could be done in helping
their country in time of war. They
have done this without thought of
compensation or prizes Or special
recognition. We know that our boys
of Wilmington have the stuff that
makes good citizens and real
Americans"
wilmington should be proud to
knew that the boys they have
helped for so many years through
the Brigade have been made into
real red-blooded Americans, do
ing big job on the home front
as well as being ready to serve in
the armed forces when their time
comes. AS director of the Brigade
I am more than proud of my boys
because I have worked with them
and among them and I have seen
what they have done.
SIN the city of Wilmington my
boys collected, during the scrap
drive in October, 203.64 pounds
of metal. I think that is a record
worth recognition. The boys do not
think it's time to stop and are
going to continue collecting junk
as long as the government wants
it. We are doing one outstanding
thing in our work in the Brigade,
building character, and by doing
that we are building men that
will sometime be called upon to
defend their country. I want to
express my thanks to the boys of
the Brigade for the job they have

GERMANS DRIVE

tackled with more t h a n 100
tanks, accompanied by auto

matte fiflemen and supported
by 70 planes and the Russians
were forced to withdraw again
under pressure of numerically su-
perior forces" Eleven German
tanks were destroyed.
AS the Battle Of Stalingrad end
ed the 10th day of it's siege, the
Germans launched a desperate
counterattack in an effort to re-
gain "at all costs" the positions
they had lost in the past few days,
but the Russians held their ground.
At one point, the communique
said, the Russians drove the Ger
mans out of six dugouts in which
they had entrenched themselves.
This was the third successive day
that the Russians h d reported
gains in the battered Volga city.
Northwest of Stalingrad, the
communique said, a grou poi Red
Army scouts penetrated the enemy
rear and attacked a motorized col
umn which was enroute to the
front, destroying three trucks load
ed with ammunition and two fuel
oil tank cars.
On the Black Sea front, north
east of the port of Tuapse, pressed
the enemy back slightly, killing
about 300 enemy troops, the COM
munique said.
In the Eastern Caucasus, where
the main German drive was de-
veloping, the Germans appeared to
have halted their major attacks in
the Mozdok area in favor of their
new push III the Nalchik region to
the south and. west of Mozdok.
Pravda, the Communist news
paper, estimated the Germans had
suffered $4,000 casualties in the
Mozdok fighting in September and
October and had lost several hum
dred tanks.
They were still aiming, however,
at the same goal, Ordzhonikidze.
