Reds Slice Thru
10000 Germans

west of Stalingrad.
BY their capture of kotelinkov-
ski, 90 miles southwest of Stain
grad, they smashed the anchor OF
the entire German right wing and
news was expected at any time
that the Russian left wing had
swung around in direct attack
over flat plans which offer lit
tie possibility of effective defense
against tanks, on Rostov, gate
way to the Caucasus.
In night fighting in piercing cold
the Russians took village after vii
lage.
Tanks operating by themselves,
encircled one batch of 5000 Ger
man troops and killed 1900, tn
noon communique said.
NAZI SURRENDERS
In another southwest Stalingrad
sector a shivering battalion COM
mander came voluntarily into the
req army lines to surrender. ThS
Russian sector commander invited
him to return to his unit and
bring back his men. He did SO
ana surrendered about 1000 men
with all their arms and supplies,
the noon communique reported.
In the northern factory area OF
Stalingrad, where the new Russian
offensive was assuming proportions
almost as important as that to the
southwest, the Russians during the
night drove forward against des-
perate German resistance and
smashed 80 block house and dug
outs, killing 300 troops.
BIGGEST GAINS
Here among the factories the
Russians made their biggest gains
since Nov. 10 yesterday, with bay
oret, and hand grenade, assault
troops advanced yard by yard
from 80 to $50 yards in an area
where every house was a fortress
and every window firing poirt
Tor field gun or machine gun.
They captured series of work
inops and one big factory, tock
many prisoners and two field guns

On the middle Don front, tie
nuon communique reported. the
russians during the night stormed
/. big inhabited place and against
ferocious resistance drove into its
suburbs.
ENEMY REFUSED
In other middle Don sectors
they threw back a succession of
counterattacks by shock troops the
German high command was throw
ing in steadily from diminishing
reserves. In only one attack did
the German regain lost ground.
There the Russians attacked a
gain, got back their positions, kill
ed 400 Germans, knocked out six
tanks and captured ammunition
dumps and other important sup
plies.
In the Caucasus, southwest of
Nalchik, the Russian artillery spent
the night bombarding enemy posi-
tons in preparation for new at
tacks today, the noon communique
reported They disabled eight en-
envy tanks and dispersed and killed
many of about 1000 enemy troopsE
AANIHILATION
Intensifying their offensive OPP
erations northwest of Stalingrad,
Russians during the night stormed
and captured a tactically importAS
ant height, the noon communique
said The killed about 400 Of the
defenders, captured prisoners. and
took a quantity of war spoils. Ger
man attempts to regain the height
were broken with heavy losses, in

In this sector Soviet units are
fighting for the humiliation of the
enemy" the noon communique
said.

ON OFFENSIVE

1t was pointed out that after
smashing the German attack on
the Alamein line at the end of
August. the British Eighth Army
had gone on the offensive October
90. and had now all but destroyed
the German Afrika KorpS.
Plainly limiting at grand scale
activity to come in other theaters,
the review indicated the strength
of Britain's army and said:
But the promise which emerges
from the success in North Africa
is even more important than the
immediate achievement.
The world has now seen the
first fruits of three years efforts
by Britain to create an army train
ed and equipped to fight the enc
my on level terms.

achieved by the perfect coopera-
ton of air and ground forces UNI

NAILS SPREAD THIN

Germany had to spead her re-
sources more thinly over France,
had to find reinforcements for IT,
nisia and Tripoli, had to face the
potential threat of eventual inva-
sion anywhere along the Mediter-
ranean coast from the Spanish to
the Turkish frontiers, and had to
deal with a major defensive cam
paign in Russia which babe fair to
negate. whatever its outcome, Ger
man hopes of a creative pause"
during the winter. it was held.
The review gave full credit to
the work of the United States in
the Pacific, and to Russia, but said
the British army had played mo
mean part" in the operations pre-
luding the combined United Ma
tions full offensive"

LOWER PAY
LESS WAR COST

If the total cost of the war runs
to $500 billion. S2l0 billion VIII DC
wages and salaries. not just TO the
men in the armed services, but to
every man. woman and child VINO
does a lick of war work. II the
cost of the war is to be kept down
if taxes which go to pay those wal
costs are to be kept down, wages
must be stabilized.
The principal reason for keep
ing wages and saIariesi under
control, however. Is to prevent
initiation. If wages are permit
ted to rise without limits, the
cost of the goods produced by
labor and the services rendered
bv labor must rise with them.
That's initiation. To prevent IT,
the government is actually inter-
ested i'm seeing that you have no
more money to spend than there
are goods and services to spend
them on.
By last September it was appar-
ent that everything which had peeil
done up to then in the way OF
price control and wage adjustment
was still not sufficient TO check IN
flation. On october 2. Congress
therefore passed an amendment to
the price Control Act authorizing
the President TO take this drastic
vape control step. Moving rapidly
the President created the Offlce
of Economic Sterilization. with
ex-Sroreme Court Justice James
F. Byrnes at its head.
Under the Presidents order. now
ever. the major part of this author
ity was delegated TO the war La
Dor Board, which had been set up
previously to handle wartime lapor
disputes. Director ByrneS divided
the responsibility further.
THE JURISDICTION
Control over farm wages OF less
than $4,000 a year was assigned to
the Secretary of Agriculture.
All other wageS-workmens pay
calculated on an hourly, daily, or
piecework basis-was LETT with the
War Labor Board. SalarieS-undei
$4,000 a year, except for executive
or professional employees not Gov
cred by a union wage agreement
were also left under the jurisdiction
of WLB.
All other s,larics-pay com
puted on weekly, monthly or
annual basis-were assigned 10
the control of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue i'm the
Treasury Department.
General orders. rulings, regula-
tions and interpretations OF the
War Labor Board, the Commission
er of Internal Revenue and tht
Secretary of Agriculture will there
fore govern all actions on wage
sterilization for the duration Of
the war. What those regulations
are and how they affect your wage
in wartime will be explained IN a
series of short daily articles u
follow this general introduction.

EDITORIAL
Your Angels Face

This is. advice to the love-blind
lads of Libby. Boys, beauty is more
than skin deep. I once saw some
old ladies with large warts en-
blazoned upon their mile long
noses, yet those old ladies were con-
sidered very beautiful--more beau
tiful than their sisters who had
been the toasts of gay Virginia
City. A young girl with Wart on
her nose is first-class cook, works
hard-even says nice things to you.
A pretty girl will smile and smirk,
admires her own beauty and pitles
herself when its gone. One thing
brought beauty to the girls with
warts. They thought of the prob
lens of others and shaved away IN
the home. A constructive task OF
thought completed will bring 10y
to the heart and smile to the
face-you'll find such smile upon
the face of the girl with a Wari
on the tip of her nose
