All vehicles registered in Virginia
must be inspected by Monday, Col.
M. S. Battle. director of the State
Division Of Motor Vehicles, warned
today.
ANY 'motorist found without, the
new red and silver inspection
sticker on his car by that date will
be subject to arrest, he said.
Motorists should not be negligent
about having their cars checked be-
cause they feel that they will not
be able to drive them as a result
OF gasoline rationing, Col. Battle
said.
Automobiles deteriorate even
during periods of disuse and they
must be checked at frequent in
tervals to be sure they are in safe
operating condition." he said.
Inspection station operators have
reported about average inspection
of cars, although there are indica-
tions of a decreased use of vehicles
on highways, the director reported.

LAPS SEEK TO
 ESCAPE AUSSIES

Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters Somewhere in Australia, Nov. 12- (UP)-Japanese forces in the Oivi- Gorari sector in New Guinea were trying desperately to escape an- initiation by Australian troops to- day, but their chances were slim be- cause the rugged Hamba Hills blocked their only line of retreat.
 A communiqe from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said the enemy was "endeavoring to cut his way through to the rear"-to the east--but were opposed by Aus tralian units which had cut around the southern flank to come up be- hind the Japanese.
 This advanced Aussi spearhead has reached the main jungle trail six miles east of Gorari and is less than 45 miles southwest of Buna, enemy pase on the north coast which is the main objective of the Aus tralians and of American troops ad- vancing somewhere southeast of the Buna-Gona area.
 4 military spokesman said l5C Japanese were killed and number taken prisoner when an enemy force was encircled and wiped out two miles south of Gorari. This brought the total of Japanese killed in the Oivi- -Gorari sector in the past four days to 300.

GERMANS NOT
 TO SEIZE NAVY

London. Nov. 12 -(UP)- The Havas (French) news agency re- ported over radio Vichy today that the Germans had decided not to seize the French navy at Toulon where its commanders had taken all measures of defense against any attacker."
 Observers pointed out, however, that the Germans yesterday de- ciared radio Vichy a state radio and therefore anything broadcast by it must be considered Nazi propaganda.
 The broadcast, recorded by the United Press listening post. said:
 'The French naval chiefs at Toulon have taken all measures of defense against any attacker and therefore the Germans have de- cided the naval headquarters at Toulon will not be occupied and the French navy will be there in safety"

Selective service officials had de- pended upon Congress to pass the bill earlier than has been done, es- pecially after President Roosevelt's appeal for power to induct the youths. Originally they expected that only a few married men with out children would be drafted be- fore spring.
 Induction of many married men during November and December will be necessary, the selective serv- ice official said because 1t will take 30 to 40 days to classify and eX- anime the 'teen-age youths for in- duction. Selective service officials told the Senate military affairs committee during hearings on the bill that only by quick passage could mass induction of married men without children be avoided.
 Congressional leaders still hoped that final passage would not come too late to forestall induction of married men. They pointed out that 1t had not been the intent of Congress to force the drafting of such men, but rather to seek some assurance that the youthful regis trants would not be sent into com- bat service without proper training
 Senate leaders predicted that the measure would be passed in less than an hour today now that the training issue appears dead. They were sure that no fight would de- velop over the conference commit tees deletion of the training amendment.
 Senator Dennis Chavez. D., N, M., one of the advocates of the training amendment, told reporters that the conference report would pass the

WAR BORROWING POLICY CHANGES
Morgenthau States Sys. tenn of Securing Public
 Support HencefOrth

Washington, Nov. 12 (U.P) - Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor genthau, Jr., announced a new policy of treasury war borrowing under which determined effort will be made to obtain the major part of government funds from the public rather than from banks beginning Novecber 30.
 Government borrowing during De- cember will be on an unprecedented scale, he told press conference.
 Morgenthau said he has set up a super organization to promote gov- ernment borrowing from the public through an active selling and ad- verttsing campaign in which he has enlisted sales and advertising execu- tives of private industry.
 He indicated future financial op- erations would be in very large sums and that offering of securities prob- ably would be made not oftener than bi-monthly. The program in- cludes number of tap" issues that will be available at all times for large investors, corporations and and small investors.
 He listed among the organizations enlisted to promote the gigantic bor- rowing program the New York Stock Exchange, Investment Bankers As- sociation, National Association of Securities Dealers. Government &c., curities Dealers Association, Asso- ciation of Stock Exchange firms, and the American Bankers Associa- tion.
 He said he also was enlisting Elmer Davis, head of the office of war information, to make vide spread announcements of govern- ment security offerings.
 Leaders in private industry allied with the new treasury program in- clude R. H. Grant, president in charge of sales of the General Mo- tors Corporation, who will organ- ize a selling group to handle the se- cui1ties and will advise Morgenthau on selling methods as securities are offered. Miller McClintock, executive director, and Harold Thomas, vice. chairman of the Advertising Coun- cil,, will advise Morgenthau in a6- vertising new issues through the widest channels.
 Morgenthau said first announce ments of the amounts and kinds of securities to be offered November 30 would be made next week.

WINTER DEFEATS
 NAzLS IN RUSSIA
Must Retreat Beyond Don River or Freeze to Death
 on Steppes

Moscow, Nov. l2-(UP)-Winter has crushed German hopes of talk ing Stalingrad and the exhausted Nazis now have the choice of freez- ing to death on the steppes or re- treating 40 miles beyond the Don river, where the weather is milder, battlefront dispatches said today.
 The Soviet noon communique re- ported that smashing of el.emy at tacks, apparently not very powerful, and dispatches from Stalingrad said the front had been firmly stabilized since last Saturday, when the first freezing weather arrived.
 The ground already is frozen too hard for the Germans to dig dug outs, these dispatches said. Hence, their only alternative to quick freezing is to fall back beyond the bend of the Don.
 Any day, some of the most ter rible blizzards in Russia will begin sweeping the steppeland around Stalingrad. Operations are almost impossible under such conditions.
 Besides, the German air force has drastically reduced Its operations, according to dispatches. Its bomb- ing now is limited to a compara- lively few sorties over a 24-hour period against villages and com- munications in the left bank of the Volga.
 Obsolete planes now are operat- ing in small groups and dropping small bombs that do insignificant damage.
 These same conditions, 1t was said, now characterize the Tuapse and Nalchik fronts in the Caucasus. where the Russians have developed their initiative and improved their positions.

Powerful Allied Army Is Nearing Axis In Tunisia
LAPS ATTACKED
 AT TWO POINTS
U. s. Airmen Renew As- saults in Aleutians,
 SOlOmOns.
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, November 12.-(UP) American airmen have struck new blows at the Japanese at both ends of the long Pacific battlefront - in the Solomons and the Aleu- tians.
 While Marines supported by Army planes, continued their of fensive east and west of the air field on Guadalcanal Island, other Army flyers were rading Attu and Kislsa islands in the Aleutians, de- stroying enemy planes and damag ing enemy cargo ships.
 Last nights communique con- tained the first mention of action in the Aleutians since October 23 and 24 when big bombing raids were made on Kiska. It also revealed that the Japanese again are making use of Attu island which the Navy reported on october ' had appar- ently been abandoned temporarily by the enemy.
 The most recent American raids on the Aleutians occurred last Mon day. Army bombers destroyed seven float type "Zero" planes on Holtz Bay, Attu, but met no oppo- sition. A Navy spokesman said there was no evidence of enemy activity on Attu itself. It was believed the Japanese were using Holtz Bay for Q plane anchorage to avoid bombard- ments at Kiska, some 200 miles to the east.
 Army bombers also attacked Kis- ka on the same day, damaging two enemy cargo ships. Anti-aircraft fire damaged one American plane but 1t managed to return to its base, probably in the Andreanoff islands. .,-.--..---.-
 Those two raids raised to 46 the number of enemy ships hit in the Alertians since last June l3 sunk, four probably sunk and 2e damaged. The number of planes destroyed in that area now stands at 51.

 Allied Headquarters in North Africa, November 12. = (UP) Major General Mark W. Clark, deputy com mander-in-chief of the Allied Africa Expedition, carried "a message to Garcia" which opened the way for the 76- hour American occupation of French North Africa, 1t was revealed today.
 Clark's feat - with modern trim mings, including a l5,000 mile round trip between the War Department in Washington and the sands of North Africa - paralleled the famous Spanish American War ex- ploit of Young Lieutenant Andrew Summers Rowan.
 The story was told today by Lieutenant General Dwight D. Eisenhower. allied commander-in chief.
 To Sound Out Sentiment
 Clark's mission was to discover the actual sentiment of French North Africa, the temper of the French military leaders and all other information which would be vital to any American or Allied op- eration in the area.
 Together with Q stan of seven picked officers Clark was designated by the American and British high coESmand to "go and do this job"

 (The message to Garcia" was de- livered by Lieutenant Rowan during the Spanish American War. He was designated by President William Mckinley to go to Cuba, shortly after the outbreak of the war. find the Cuban rebel chief, General Ga lixto Garcia. and learn from him the disposition of Spanish troops and ships and arrange for cooper ation between the Cuban rebels and the American forces. His feat was immortalized by Ebert Hubbard whose "A Message To Garcia" sold 100,000,000 copies. Actually, there was no real message, merely Ro- vans instructions. He carried out his mission successfully and brought back the needed information three weeks after departure)
