without clarity, there could not have

In these dispatches, but there has
rarely been a better illustration of
what one means by high style of
action than Stalingrad. This is 1t.
To impose your own conception
above that of the enemy, to follow
1t out in detail, with remorseless
logic, is style; what the troops
do cannot make style, but flows
from style.
That is why the Russians cut the
bridges over the Volga, and thereby
cut of their own retreat from
Stalingrad. The possibility OF re-
treat was a disadvantage, and they
remorselessly removed it from the
situation. Their clarity told them
that the way was forward, and
therefore, quite logically, they blew
up the road backward.
Clarity is hard master, and
when you commit yourself to it you
commit yourself completely; you
cannot follow 1t half way; you must
go the whole way, into the empty
house surrounded by the German
troops.

Dewey will enter the Governors
mansion in Albany next Friday.
He will be the first Republican
Governor in 20 years The last
was Nathan l.. Miller, who was
elected in the Harding landslide
in 1920, over Alfred E. Smith, and
served for two years.
What house cleaning the Al
bany transition is likely to be.
The Democrats have been in
trenched there for two decades.
Former Gov. Lehman, who re-
signed recently to take the job
of reconditioning the countries
overrun by the Axis powers, as
the Axis is driven out of them,
had been in Albany for 10 years
himself. The Republicans this
year made clean sweep in the
New York State elections, win
ming with their entire ticket, and
electlng majorities in both houses
of the Legislature. Not only are
the Democrats going out of pow-
er in the State, but they have
been out of power in New York
City, and will continue so to be
at least until the expiration of
Mayor La Guardia's present
term.
The political picture in the
Empire State is vastly changed,
and is as good measure of Re-
publican successes as any other.
Furthermore, the Democrats in
New York are divided into war;
ring factions, with the Roosevelt
New Deal group on the one hand,
and the Farley-anti-New Deal
group on the other. 1t would be
a flrst-class prophet who could
say correctly just what will be
the position and the condition of
the New York Democratic party
when 1914 rolls around, with its
presidential election in the offng.
Undisputed Leader.
Mr.. Dewey will take up his
work as Governor under favor
able conditions-despite the war.
He has by his victory become the
undisputed Republican leader of
New York. He is picking the
principal Offices under him, in
Guiding his cabinet, with regard
for ability rather than for the
reward of political support. And
as has been pointed out, his
party will be in complete control
of the Legislature.

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.

II we knew why Stalingrad held
out, we would have information Of
the first importance. It Is informa-
ton that would have been worth at
least 100000 men to Adolf Hitler,
that being the first installment on
the price he is paying for not having
understood Stalingrad.
1t is easy to say that stalinerad
held out because its men were
brave" and because they loved
their country" These are vague
answers. There must be something
special. to explain why Stalingrad
held. and why other cities, de-
Tended by brave and devoted men,
did not hold.
Bits Of the answer are floating
through, in dispatches from Russia.
1t seems the Russians learned a
great many curious things during
their defense OF their city.
They learned according to Gen.
Chuickov, commander of. the 62nd
Army that the closer your troops
approach the enemy, in city fight
ing, the safer they are and the
smaller the losses Even to mingle
fronts, that is, to hold a build
Ing completely surrounded by the
enemy, Is practical tactic, because
In such close fighting the enemy
can't use artillery without destroy
ing its own forces.
Contest Of Will, Too.
But, says Gen. Chuikov, as quoted
by Henry Shapiro, Soviet troops in
advance positions would often sig
nal their own artillery to open FIRE,
even at the cost OF their own lives.
And so part of the Stalingrad battle
was curious contest of will, as we'll
as weapons.
Having learned that physical
nearness to the enemy conferred
advantages, the Russians reduced
that fact to methodical policy.
They would deliberately place
trenches within 20 yards of enemy
lines, baf1iing not only enemy artil-
lery, but also enemy aviation. The
furthest distance between the lines,
at any point, was 1854 yards.
1t also became obvious" Gen
Chuikov says. that Stalingrad could
only be defended by destroying
Germans. But, once again, an OBJ
vious fact was translated into policy:
Defensive warfare by day, counter
attacks at night, and almost every
night. Shippers were used in great
numbers. Costs are small-a few
cartridges; revenues are many
enemy corpses.' Throughout it ALL
plans for an offensive were kept
continuously in mind; in other

one business for which. he was
sent to Africa-to defeat the Axis.
Until the assassination of Ad-
miral Jean Darlan, Gen. Eisen-
hower's Job probably was the
most uncomfortable any military
commander has had.
Besides numerous other mill
tary duties, he was confronted
with a typically French political
situation, one of those situations
which contributed so much to the
downfall Of France.
The opponents Of Admiral Dar-
Ian had modified with tremen-
dous vigor many followers in Bril-
tain and the United States.
These politically and theological
ly minded groups were shooting
hard at Admiral Darlan and by
so doing they also shot at Gen.
Eisenhower. The American COM
mander in chief appealed on
more than one occasion to WASH
ington, asking the powers that be
to stop those relentless verbal as
saults over the radio.
Short-wave radio broadcasts
from this country were denounc-
ing Admiral Darlan as a traitor
who might turn toward the
Nazis again. At the same time,
the powerful Brazzaville radio
station controlled by the Fight
ing French was doing the same
job in Arabic and in French with
even greater thoroughness.
Double Edge Worry.
Thus on one hand, Gen.
Eisenhower had to worry about
military operations in Tunisia
which were far behind the sched-
ule, and on the other hand he
had to keep a watchful eye on
Algeria and Morocco where re-
bellious outbursts were feared at
any time. The concentrated
air attacks" against Admiral
Darlan, together with Axis propa-
ganda were far from an assist
ance to a military commander
like Gen. Eisenhower, who is a
thorough soldier but never had
dabbled before in diplomacy or
politics. He could not under

stand what was happening on the
'home front" in America and In
Britain.
The murder OF Admiral OAR
Ian was deplored by the Amer
lean commander in chief be-
cause from the military point of
view the admiral had rendered
us signal services. But at the
same time his dramatic passing
has united--for the time being
at least-all the French factions
which had been opposing him.
The most important result OF
Admiral Darlan's assassination is
that Gen. Eisenhower will now be
able to detach more American
troops for the Tunisian front.
So long as the verbal battle be-
tween the French in Africa and
those in London existed a large
portion Of the American forces
which had been sent to Africa to
fight the Nazis had to be re-
tanned in Morocco and Algeria to
take care of possible native up
risings.
Free to Move Eastward.
Consequently, the American
support accorded to Gen. Ken
meth Anderson had to be re-
stricted somewhat. The three
French divisions which we're
formed had just taken position
before Tunis but even so the
forces were not sufficient to make
the conquest of Tunis cinch.
Now, it is hoped, the American
forces will be free to move east
ward since the prospect of trou-
BILE in North Africa has been con-
siderably reduced.
1t is uncertain here what posi-
ton Gen. De Gaulle will hold in
the new African setup. But his
reported acceptance of Gen.
Giraud in the Darlan post has
been received in responsible
Washington quarters with sigh
of relief 1t is questionable
whether anything definite re-
garding Gen. de Gaulle will be
decided soon.
But most observers believe that
Gen. de Gaulle might be in
clined to maintain his present
position in London. His con-
tribution to the cause of France
might be a collaboration of the
military men around him who
may now be permitted to join
their comrades in arms in Mo-
rocco and Algeria.
1t is considered highly doubt
full that Gen. de Gaulle would
accept subordinated combat
position under Gen. Giraud. 1t
is equally unlikely that Gen.
Giraud would step out after Tu-
nisia has been conquered to
make room for Gen. de Gaulle as
the civil administrator of the
French North African empire.

As Republicans Take Over Next Week

Democrat. Gov. Olson, Demo-
crat, in California is giving way
to Earl Warren, Republican. And
in Michigan, Gov. Van Wagner,
Democrat, will be succeeded by
Governor elect Harry L. Kelly.
Republican.
Ohio and Minnesota reelected
present Republican Governors,
Bricker and Stassen respectively.
Iowa replaced Republican Gov
ernor with another Republican,
and so did Pennsylvania. And so
goes the story of COP sue
cesses.
In one State, Wisconsin, a sit
ting Republican Governor. Julius
P. He'll, was defeated for re-elec-
ton. His successful opponent
was the late Orlando S. LOOMS,
Progressive, who died of a heart
attack not long after his victory
at the polls. The Republicans
elected their candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor. The question
of succession has arisen and Is
now before the State Supreme
Court for decision. Gov. He'll has
submitted arguments, through
his attorneys, that he should
continue in Office, since his elect
ed successor cannot qualify. The
court has before it also the ques-
ton as to whether the Lieutenant
Governor ELECT, Walter Goodland,
Republican, shall be Governor,
or whether a special election for
Governor shall be held.
COP legislature.
Wisconsin, obviously from the
results of the elections, except
that of Governor, is a Republican
State. 1t elected a Republican
Legislature of the House. 1t Is
likely, that in the event the
court decides a special election
must be held, a Republican can
win-provided Gov. He'll is not
the candidate. Gov. Heil's pop
ularity waned fast in the last
year, and it is doubtful he could
obtain a Republican nomination
to take part In special election.
So whatever the court decides, 1t
looks as though Wisconsin would
end with Republican Governor.
Since the Inauguration of the
Governor takes place January 4,
the court must hand down its
decision within a short time.
The death of Mr.. LOOMS was
a real blow to the Progressives in
Wisconsin. His victory in the
gubernatorial race had given the
party a much-needed lift. 1t has
in the new Congress one Senator.
Senator Bob La Toilette, and
in the House only two Represen-
tatives. 1t had not won a State
wide election, with the exception
of the reelection OF Senator La
Toilette in 1910, since 1896, when
former Gov. Phillip La Toilette
won.
OF the big, populous States Of
the East and Midwest, the DEM
ocrats retain the governorships
in only two, Indiana and New
Jersey. In neither of these
States was a gubernatorial cleo
ton held this year. The Repub-
licans also hold the governor
ships in the coming year in all
three of the Pacific Coast States,
California, Oregon and WASH
ington.
