RUSSIAN FRONT:
Maxi Toll Mounts

Even as Wendell L. Willkie called
for a second front to aid the Rus
SLAMS, Soviet troops were battling
defantly for every foot of ground on
the Volga river front.
Russian gains were reported Off
cially on the long front extending
from the ACKNOWLEDGMENT sector
to the deep Caucasus. Soviet troops
occupied several heights and viii
lagos southeast of Novorossisk, Ger
man-held Black sea base, killing
about 1900 Germans in one day.
In the Stalingrad area more than
1900 Nazis had been reported killed
in one days fighting. The major
battle had appeared to be in the
northwest of the city. In one Sec
tor the Germans launched eight at
tacks against Soviet positions in "a
hours in an effort to check the threat
to their left flank. The heavy in
fantry attacks were supported by 40
tanks. Four attacks were reported
repulsed. Silence concerning the 9TH
err four indicated that progress had
been made by the Nazis.
The Soviet communique acknowl-
edged a withdrawal in the Mozdok
area where it was announced that
numerically superior forces" had
captured a village. Between Mos
cow and Leningrad, Soviet troops
continued to mop up German forces
which had penetrated into the Rus
sian defenses.
In broadcast the German high
command announced that "In the
northwestern part Of the Caucasus
and on the Terek river the enemy
was elected from deep positions not
withstanding tenacious resistance"

GAS RATIONINC:
For Entire Nation

Rubber Administrator William M.
Jeffers' order for the rationing of
gasoline on a nationwide basis
came as no great surprise to Amer
ica's 27,000,000 motorists, fore
warned by the report of the Baruch
committee.
The rationing system, expected to
take effect in November, will be pat
termed after the permanent program
which went into effect in the eastern
states July %. The system permits
basic ration of 1872 gallons a year,
enough for 1880 miles of travel on
the basis of Is miles per gallon. 1t
is an average of $3.50 gallons week.
Non-essential motorists receive
"a" books, permitting them to pur-
chase 80 gallons Of gasoline over a
three-month period. About So per
cent of the car owners in the eastern
states have GAP cards. A "B" book
permits it's user maximum of 470
miles a month. Those eligible for
such book are persons with essen
tial occupations. The "C'' books are
for individuals engaged in war or
civilian defense activities. They al
low 1913 gallons month and holders
may receive as many as they actual
ly need.
In his first statement since his
appointment as rubber czar, letters
called upon the nations motorists to
"be volunteers" in trying to keep
our economic life from breaking
down." He asked for a maximum
speed limit of IS miles an hour, but
told drivers they were to be their
own policemen. He urged that ''ev-
cry citizen ration his own driving
and reduce his own speed" imme-
diately, without waiting for actual
rationing.

WILLKIE:
'N0w Is the Time

Before he left Russia for his con-
ference in China with Generalissi-
mo Chang Kai-shek, Wendell Will
kie took time out to tell the Aneri-
can people that in his opinion the
time for opening second front was
not next spring, but right now.
He said that Nazi pressure on
the resources of Soviet Russia was
terrific and that relief was badly
needed. He urged very definite
step-up in the amount of aid being
delivered to the Russians and point
ed out that almost third of their
population had been subjected to
German rule.
After this statement was issued
Premier Joseph Stain held his fare
we'll banquet for Willkie, President
Roosevelt's emissary on his round
the-World check-up of the war fronts.
This event was described as being
most cordial.
Though Stain was joking and teas
ing him throughout the affair, Will

Allied bases for the attacks have
not been named, nor has the nation
atty of the flight crews been re-
vealed, but observers assume that
American airmen are working with
Russian and British fliers.
The raids are more than token
gestures. The Allies have obtained
valuable information concerning
Axis troop and supply movements
across the Balkan railroads toward
Russia and Africa. According to re-
ports reaching Turkey, Rumania
now has sent approximately Is di-
visions into Russia. This is believed
to be all but five of her divisions.
Meanwhile, U. S. Army Bomber
Commander Eaker in London stated
that American and British airmen
will work together in day and night
raids to give Germany long win
ter of bombing. He said: II believe
it is possible to destroy the enemy
from the air. There is hardly a
corner Of Germany we cannot reach.
There are now enough airdromes in
the British isles built or building to
accommodate all the Allied air
forces needed for the destruction of
Germany"

AIR OFFENSIVE:
Renewed In China

After a lull of almost a month, the
American air force in China re-
newed activity against the Japanese
with an attack on troop columns in
southwest Yunnan province and a
foray against Hanoi in French Indo-
China.
A communique from Lieut.. Gen.
Joseph w. Stilwell's headquarters
announced that 10 Jap troop trucks
and a staff car were destroyed in
the strafing attack along the high
way between Lungling and Chefang
by fighting planes. The raid at Ha-
moi was on the Cal Lam airport.
Brig. Gen. Claire Chennault, COM
mander of American air forces in
China, stated that French and ma
tives Of Indo-China were becoming
less cooperative with the Japs as
result of American air successes.
Intelligence reports show that the
French are disillusioned, though the
japanese are now all-powerful in
Indo-China, Chennault said.
A new Japanese two-motored, two
scatter fighting plane was encoun-
tered by Americans on the Hanoi
raid. The plane, an I-45, was re-
ported to be heavily armed with
2O-millimeter cannon and two 49,
millimeter guns forward.

MacARTHUR'S MEN:
DriUe on Japs

The first Jap withdrawal from
some outposts in the Owen Stanley
mountain range above Port Moresby,
New Guinea, was announced in a
communique from General MacAr-
thurs headquarters in Australia.
Strong allied patrols, aided by
light artillery, forced the Jap with
drawal, which came concurrently
with the start of heavy rains, the
communique said. Macarthur s
ground forces made gains in counter
attacks southwest of Salamaua on
the left flank of the Owen Stanley
line. Ground successes were teamed
with new aerial assaults on enemy
posts and island bases across a thou
sand mile area in the southwestern
Pacific.
Allied dive bombing attacks on
vital japanese supply routes met
with considerable success. The Jap
Kokoda-Buna supply line on the
northern slope of the Owen Stanley
mountains was blasted while other
planes raided Dill, capital Of the
enemy-held Portuguese Timor, and
Ambasi.
Allied bombers also struck at Jap
positions in the Solomons.
