 Slaughter Germans
 Soviet gunners are reported to have slaughtered more than 1900 Germans yesterday, as the invaders launched repeated but futile at tacks to widen the wedge into Stalingrad's northwest sections.
 The Russian command said 'The enemy suffered particularly heavy losses in trying to capture one height in this battle, and lost over 700 men,"
 The Red Star said that the Ger mans, fearing sudden night at tacks, are sending rockets into the flaring skies and floating down by parachute into the lighted battle zone.
 The dry grass blazes across the steppes northwest of the city, sur rounding the entire countryside with a pail of yellow, acrid smoke.

Eostmon's Order Won't
Be Put OF to Work Out
Compliance Program
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Once of Defense Transportation
officials were reported today to be
insisting that the newspaper indus
try be ready to comply with an order
reducing deliveries on May Is.
Of1cials said that as of the pre-
sent there was no intention Of de-
ferring the order Of Joseph B. East
man, o. D. r. director and virtual
car OF rubber-tired transportation,
to permit working out compliance
programs.
The order was issued April 40, but
thus far two plans have been sub
mitted-one by the American News
paper Publishers Association and
the other by the New York papers
N. Y. Papers Reduce Editions.
Both plans call for elimination OF
deliveries by vehicle to individual
subscribers (such as rural routes) :,
use of contract carriers where pos
sible. abolition Of overlapping
routes and pooling of deliveries
where possible In addition, the
New York group told Edmund
Brady. chief of the local delivery
unit of o. D. r. that it already had
reduced the number of editions.
Informal conversations have been
going on with representatives of
newspapers in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Greg;
Philadelphia and Chicago. Addi-
tional plans may be submitted later
this week, an official said.
Mr.. Eastman's order requires
that. beginning May Is, an indi-
vidual or company may make only
one vehicle delivery q day to any
one person. This has been inter-
preted officially as meaning that a
newspaper publishing company may
make but one delivery a day to any
newsstand or redistribution point.
1t has been held also to prohibit
special delivery mail by vehicle since
all special delivery trips or return
trips will be forbidden.
Governmental Agencies Affected.
The order applies to governmental
agencies as well as to private
operators of autos and trucks.
The Newspaper Guild OF New
York and the Newspaper Delivery
mems organisation have urged the
o. D. T. to consider the problem Of
decreased employment likely to re-

suit from fewer editions. On1cials
acknowledged that that problem was
being discussed. but said that 1t
was up to the newspapers to work
out plans which would cause a
minimum OF hardship. The o. D. T.
will consider any reasonable sug-
sesticns, an official said, and will
not insist on a single delivery to q
sales or redistribution point If a
method can be worked out which
will accomplish the aim Of reducing
mileage for delivery vehicles.
Thus, it was explained by one
spokesman if two newspapers could
arrange to pool their delivery
facilities, each could send out two
editions. Pooling arrangements will
be subject to scrutiny by the Justice
Department and o. D. T.. however.
AS a final remedy for unusual
hardships, Mr. Eastman has the
authority to revise the order as he
sees fit.

himself, for preferring not to travel
under his own name, he obtained
his passports by means Of certain
rather inaccurate statements, made
by him to the state department, in
submitting his application.
That he committed a punishable
offense in misinforming the depart
ment in this connection scarcely
can be disputed. However, If he'd
been a mere ordinary individual,
it's altogether unlikely that the
matter ever would have attracted
the slightest attention subsequent
ly. But Earl wasn't ordinary. He
was a very prominent American
Communist, his cults recognized
leader in the United States. He ran
three times for president on its
ticket.
Times Were Different
Well, as previously remarked, It
was downright awful to be a Com
munist in that era. Joe Stain was
regarded as world peril, not only
on his own account, but also be-
cause his government was hooked
up, by treaty, with Herr Hitlers.
Then, as now, Representative
Martin Dies congressional commit
tee on investigation Of un-Ameri-
can activities in our midst, was
feverishly busy. Martin was more
anti-Communistic than any other
one thing. Some folk thought that
he concentrated on Communism
trife neglectfully Of Nazism and
Fascism. Still. it generally was
agreed that he might be right in
roofing out the Communists 100
per cent first and letting the others
wait until he could get around
to EN-.
Naturally the initial step was to
pin a case on Earl Browder, the
boss Communist in the western
hemisphere.
To say that his record was ex-
amined under a microscopes to
express It mildly. don't say that
he didn't have coming what fol-
lowed. All do allege is that he was
trailed less because somebody was
trying to catch him than to catch
him nefarious in SOMETHING.
Deliberate Malice:
It has kind Of tinge OF DELHI
crate malice.
The justice department took up
Earps prosecution with Russia still
pro-Nazi and Earl still, as an Axis
sympathizer, pro-Axis.
He was soaked for four years-a
pretty stiff sentence.
All this time, mind you, Earl was
classed as Of the Communistic-pro-
Axis group.
But, while Earl was corked up at
Atlanta, Herr Hitler hoped on
Comrade Stain. Joe Stain, IL he
hadn't been hoped on, might now
be as pro-Axis as you please
Adolfs attack on him is what con-
verted him TO solidarity with the
United Nations.
The result is that Earl Browder
gets his release from Atlanta In a
hurry.
His attitudes all right, TOO.

of popular prejudice against them.
As a matter of fact, there is little
use in talking about prejudice
against various forms of lethal
weapons.
Men most familiar with its vari-
Gus aspects state that the use of
gas is one of the least brutal meth
DDS Of warfare. Neither at the time
nor afterward is gas poisoning
nearly as bad as gunshot wounds.
Prentice said in 1885: "If the man
who is gassed survives the war, he
comes out body-whole as God made
him, not the legless, armless or de-
formed cripple produced by the
mangling, rending effects of high
explosives, gunshot wounds and
bayonet thrusts."
No Chance To Use Gas
The real reason for the lack of
prominence of gas in this war is
that practically nobody who was
in retreat had gases to use or a
chance to use them. A prominent
military observer told me the other
day that it is quite possible that
the Germans will use gas as a de-
fensive measure if they have to
retreat before the Russian army
this spring. The Russians and the
Greeks didn't have gas so they
couldn't use it when they retreated.
Gas is poor weapon to use on the
offensive, because if you lay down
a barrage of gas, you have to move
your own army Immediately into
it while the other army moves
away from it.
War gases are classified on the
basis of their chemical properties
and the kind Of action they have.
They can also be very carefully
selected with view to their par
ticular kind of action to tactical
advantage. There are five general
kinds of war gases:
Ldchrymdtors.-These have 4
more or less selective action on the
eye. In other words, they can be
breathed in without doing any
harm but they cause large secre-
ton Of tears, pain and swelling Of
the eye and temporary blindness.
They have few if any after effects
and their main. use is temporarily
to reduce the fighting efficiency Of
the enemy.
Sternutators are those which ir-
ritate the upper respiratory tract
They cause sneezing, coughing. in
tense headache, vomiting and thus
create physical disability. Most Of
them have a considerable amount
of penetrability and can get
through the gas mask and cause
the soldier to remove the mask,
thus exposing him to other more
toxic gases which are usually en-
ployed at the same time.
Irritants Of Lungs
Lung Irritnnts.-Some Of these
simply irritate the bronchial tubes
and some Of them penetrate the
lung cells, perhaps to produce
more lasting and permanent dis
ability.
Vesicdnts.-These act on the
surface of the body to produce irri-
tation and blistering. The skin, the
eye and the respiratory tract are
particularly vulnerable To their
action.
Systemic Tozie A1ents.-This
group was a great disappointment
to the Germans in the last war.
theoretically, they would be the
best Of the gases because they
would overwhelm the enemy with
poisonous effects. But they were
found unsuitable for chemical war
fare because it was almost impos-
sible to produce lethal concentra-
tons on the battlefield. Sub-lethal
concentrations were harmless.
