MOSCOW. Oct. 81. tUP)-tront
dispatches said today that the Rus
slams seized the initiative south OF
Stalinbrad and drove the Germans
back across several miles of open
country amid drenching rains that
bogged the enemy's communica-
tions.
THE German high command ad-
mitted significantly that Marshal
Semyon Timoshenko has sent fresh
reinforcements into his drive from
the north between the Don and the
Volga rivers. Radio Berlin had re-
ported yesterday that there were
preparations for a big attack north
west of Stalingrad0
Some of the biggest battles OF
the campaign in the Stalingrad
area were being fought in the bar
rem and unfortified steppes FOR pos
session of isolated water wells, the
main objective of both sides. Domi-
nation of a single we'll often means
control of an area of hundreds of
square miles, dispatches said. The
wells are a necessity for the oppos-
ing tank, cavalry, and motor pa
trols.
VILLAGE TAKEN
South of Stalingrad, an enemy viii
lage manned by Rumanian garri-
son fell easily before the Russians,
experienced in Steppe fighting.
In Stalingrad itself, the Germans
were throwing 10000 storm troops
and 60 tanks into a narrow sector
in frantic effort to take the city
before winter settles. The Red army
was smashing every attack.
The Communist newspaper Prav-
da reported that the food situation
among the German assault troops
had become severe while heavy rains
that had fallen unabated for three
days threatened to bog down their
drive.
The conclusion was implicit though
not stated in the Communist party

GERMANS BLEEDING

one phase has ended and another
must now begin"
He said the German army is
bleeding to death in Russia and
added:
History may record Hitler's at
tack on Russia as even more fatal
than Napoleon's retreat from Mos
cow In spite of their losses of
men, material and territory, the
Russians show not the least sign of
giving in and their bitter defense
will go on to the bitter end. This
impression is confirmed by all the
best inside information"
He said the Allies had suffered
tremendous set-backS in the Far

of France, but added:
For Japan, just as for Hitler,

THE GREATEST DECISION
is UP TO THE PEOPLE

Many important decisions will be made
in the governors mansion and the ma
tion's legislative halls in the months to
come-but the basic decision will be made
by the voters within few days now. For
the other decisions will be made by the
men upon whom the voters decide Nov:
g. The voters will choose the kind Of
men who make the later decisions.
In Imperial county, we can concen-
trate upon the wisdom of our broader
choices without interruption, for all hint
of local politics has been erased from the
November ballot. Our greatest care can
be devoted to selecting a governor,
lieutenant-governor, an attorney general
and a congressman from our new district.
In the next few days this newspaper
will give its views of the candidates, ar
rived at out of extensive study of the rec
ords, personal contacts with the office
seekers, and whatever knowledge we may
possess of current events and the needs
they inflict upon public officials.
Our yardstick has been only one ques-
ton: what service will they give the
people if elected?

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

All this current campaigning t,
make you a better soldier or civilian
increasing your wartime efficienc,
by improving your diet and maxim,
you eat more of the right kinds o
vitamin-packed nutritional foods =
is apt to have far-reaching post
war effects if calculations of De
partment of Agriculture economist!
can be realized. These changes il
diet might even go so far as to solve
the farm problem, or part of it
ANYWAY.
A couple of figures will give you
the drift. Out of the 441 million
acres of L. 5. land suitable for
cultivation, the agricultural brain
trusters figured that in the 1886
! 40 period some 81 million acres
were used for raising food. But
the pencil and paper farmers, by
food that would be required if all
the 1874 million people of the land
ate adequate nutritiOnal diets,
have come up with the figure that
to raise all these victuals, a mini
mum of 321 million acres would
have to be cultivated, an increase
of 10 million acres.
This admittedly is a pretty "iffy"
calculation, but it does indicate that
all the increased food production
being demanded of American farm
ers for feeding the American civil
liam population, Army and Navy,
and Lend-LeaSe is not an initiation
ary bubble that has to burst when
the war is over And it is another
indication that American agricul-
ture can make and is making in
few years, gains which the economic
planners had thought it might take
another 25 years to make.
THERELL BE CHANGES
In the last war, there was a tre-
mendouS advance in the use of cam
ned foods. Whole new farm induSt-
ries and food processing industries
grew out of that development but
the changes in eating habits which
the nutritionists are trying to put
over today call for changes far
greater Increased consumption of
vegetables, of milk and dairy pro-
ducts will all in time be translated
to changes in agriculture.
New processes of food handling
developed in this war may have
the same influence that improve
ment in canning methods had in
the last war. OF first Importance
here is the dehydrating of foods,
which is growing out of the need
for reduced shipping space. No
one can tell where the dehydrated
meat industry may go after the
war.
The same thing goes for dried
milk. Millions of gallons of skim
milk which used to be stopped to
the hogs, may now find their way
to the milk drying plants for pro-
cessing into inexpensive but highly
nutritiOnal food for the lower in
come families which have always
been milk starved.
Eighty per cent of the agricul-
tural products go ultimately into
food, but it isn't just in the food
crops that this wartime expansion
of demand for agricultural products
is being felt. Cutting off the foreign
sources of fats and oils has given
vegetable oil technology a tremend-
Gus boost. You see that on the
farm in the increased acreage put
in soybeans and peanuts.
The making of commercial alco-
hol from grain may at last be COM
ing into its own as new farm in
dustry, a result of the increased de-
mand for alcohol for synthetic rub
Der.

Jan Smuts Sdys
Offensive Near

and the moment was ripening for
the last-and offensive-stagc of
the war.
THE explosive limits of endur-
ance are nearing" he said. we are
approaching the point when both
the war fronts and the home fronts
in enemy countries are ripening for
far-reaching developments.
Smuts addressed a joint session
of parliament which met at a secret
place. Parliamentary procedure
prevented him from speaking in the
regular parliamentary chambers
because he is not member of
either house.
FOLLY TO DELAY
"Once the time has come to take
the offensive and strike while the
iron is hot" he said, lit would be
folly to delay and overprepare and
perhaps miss our opportunity.
Nor are we likely to do so-of
that 1 feel satisfied.
"On this point it would be un-
wise for me to say more and thus
set going unnecessary and perhaps
harmful speculations.
Smuts has been comforting with
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
here for a week and his presence
had led to speculation on United
Nations strategy, particularly in
Africa where South African troops
are engaged.
TWO MORE YEARS
He predicted that the war might
continue for two more years.
Il view this war as continuation
of the last war, the whole as per-
haps another 80 years war which
began in 1914. Interrupted by the
ArmiStice of 1919, which was i'm
properly called a peace, it was re-
sumed with greater ferocity in 1889
and may continue, who knows, un-
til 1914.
THE defense phase has now end
ed. The stage is set for the last Of
fensive phase. Let me set your
minds at rest at once, however.
am not going to discuss the future
of the war. The amateur
strategiSts can do that with greater
freedom and less responsibility in

A BIG WAR BABY

This whole business of agricul-
tural chemistry, the greater use of
farm products in manufacturing,
which the chemurgy enthusiasts
have been Stary-eyed about for 10
years, may become a war baby that
will grow up, man-size.
On the new crOps-the growing
of farm products which have here
tofore not been grown CONNER
Cially i'm the u. S. because there
has been no demand or because
they could be imported cheaper
than they could be raised at home
the agricultural realists are not
too sure of the future. In this
group are flax, plants for seed that
foreign markets used to supply,
a potato starch industry to replace
cassava and tapiOca, the cultiva-
ton of hemp and other fibre crops,
the gardening of seasOnings and
medicinal herbs.
The big catch in all this deVel-
opment now is of course farm labor.
Just when demand for farm pro-
ducts is up, farm population has
to drop from 81 million to % mil
lion. 1t may go lower Three years
ago, 25 million would have been
enough. If farm economy could be
developed to support a rural popu-
lation of as million people, there
wouldn't be any farm problem.
