Of either side.
RI iNKING MANEUNER
The Soviet counter-attack north
west Of Stalingrad was developing
steadily and appeared to be pinch
ing the big German forces as
scmbled on the Stalingrad battle
ground
The Russians fought off several
NaZi counter r-attacks northwest OF
the city and were driving in with
flanking maneuver designed t.
force the Nazis to pull out the
troops attacking Stalingrad from
the north and northwest.
The Soviet drive was aimed for
a range Of hills some Of which al
ready were in Russian hands Pcs
session of the whole range it was
believed would unhinge the German
defense positions
In Stalingrad itself bitterly
fighting Soviet forces wrested back
several blocks of territory from the
Germans and destroyed attacking
Nazi tanks.
The German high command
again noted the determined Soviet
ccunterattacks reporting they had
been repulsed northwest of the city
and that in Stalingrad German
troops had captured some Com
munist party buildings close 10 the
Volga river bank.

FARM CHIEFS SPEAK

Administration leaders have as
serted that the anti-inflation bill
if it contains the Thomas amend
ment, will be vetoed by the Presi-
dent who then would establish farm
price control by executive order
Leaders of four major farm organi-
cations. seeking to bolster the farm
bloc stand, last night sent a letter
to Thomas demanding adoption cf
the parity-revision proposal.
They warned that the nation is
headed for a major catastrophe in
its food supply next year un-
less farmers are enabled to meet
their rapidly rising fage costs" and
reiterated their flat rejection of
any compromise.
The record of the administra-
ton of the price control act to
date" they said does not justify
leaving this fundamental policy 6of
price ceilings for agriculture en-
tirely to administrative discretion"
