To DueIs by Artillery
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Oct. 14.-The blunt
ed German salient reaching
toward the Volga was hemmed
in tighter today by new Russian
gains northwest and south of
Stalingrad, and battlefront dis
patches reported that even in the
debris-strewn streets of the city
Red Army ttacks had
rolled the Nazis back.
Thus in the 51st day of Stalin-
grads siege Hitler's mightiest 1912
onslaught appeared to have lost
momentum, with barely another
month until the present biting chill
OF autumn on the steppes gives way
to the second winter of the war in
Russia.
Aside from the sharp street battles
in which Stalingrad's defenders re-
claimed positions, the fight for win
ter shelter" in the ruins of the city
was reverting to artillery duelling.
Lost Positions Rewon.
Exchanges of shells and mortar
grenades developed after Red Army
counterattacks had regained posi-
tions lost before short Lived Ger
man infantry drive Monday, the
Russians said.
Our artillery destroyed two guns,
seven mortars and II trucks and
wiped out about a battalion of Ger
man infantry" the noon commu-
nique announced in one of two para
graphs it devoted to the Stalingrad
struggle.
The army newspaper Red Star
said Russian troops advanced in two
sectors on the steppes northwest of
the city. 1t reported there were
frequent local encounters in sepa-
rate areas.
A Pravda dispatch declared the
Germans also had been thrown back

LONDON, Oct 14.-Frau Use Hess,
wife of the one time Deputy Fueh-
rer of Nazi Germany, Rudolf Hess,
wants to join her husband in his
British internment, a report reach
ing the House of Commons said
today
William Thorne, Laborite, gave
notice he would ask Anthony Eden,
Foreign Secretary, what reply is
being made to the request of Frau
Hess, wife of Rudolf Hess, who is
now somewhere in England, for per-
mission to join her husband"
The question did not state where
Frau Hess is now living.
Very little is known of Frau Hess
movements since her husband left
Germany in Messerschmitt fight
ing plane May 10, 1941, and landed
in Scotland, presumably in an ef-
fort to negotiate a peace between
Britain and Germany or to invite
Britain to join in a war on Russia.
After Hess flight she was report
ed to have gone to Italy and later
to Switzerland, but these reports ap-
parently were not true She was
seen in Berlin a week after Hess
left.
She always Stunned the society
events which attracted the wives
of other Nazi leaders and spent
much time in her Munich home
caring for her only child 5-year-
old Ruediger Hess.
