PROTEST YOUNG
 PUPILS WORKING
Federal Action May Be Taken to Check Employ.
 ment of 1 AIS Children

Had local school authorities changed the Christmas schedule and permitted high school students to take jobs during the Christmas rush, as desired by local merchants, objections may have been raised by the federal department, 1t was indicated today. An oiiielal of the chil0ren's bureau of the labor de- partment said today that releasing children from school Co iill holiday rush jobs Is in violation of federal law.
 Despite dissatisfaction among lo- cal employers, pr. Thomas ]. Con- don refused to change the school vacation period to permit pupils to assist with Christmas seasonal work. He pointed out that the necessary school calendar of ls0 days could not be completed by June % if schools were dismissed before Dec, 8, and pointed to the need for permanent work that would exist next June and whieh graduates could i'll immediately if they were not retarded by makeup sched- ules. The strain on students like wise was noted by local teachers.
 Katharine F. Lenroot. chief of the children's bureau in Washing ton stated today:
 Reports coming in from many places indicate a tendency to take increasing numbers of school chil- 0ren for work in overcrowded stores where the strain is particularly heavy in the holiday season.
 Boys and girls of IA and 15 have not reached the stage of maturity in which they would have the phy- sical endurance to work under such preSSures without detriment to their health and welfare. Christmas is a children's holiday and it would be a pity if they arrived at it so ex- hausted that they were unable to enjoy it."

stroyed, the communique said Active fighting was reported on the life tbank of the Don River, where 300 Germans were killed.
 Within the city itself. sharp fire was exchanged by Soviet and Ger man troops and Russian artillery destroyed 10 German pill-bones and silenced several gun positions in the northern factory district.
 The noon communique inc .cated th:t the Russian Black Sea fleet had returned to action after a long period in which it's activities were unreported.
 "In the area of Novorossisk. it said, Soviet naval artillery silenced two batteries and dispersed and partly ( 'stroyed up to a company of infantry.
 "The fleet air-arm attacked the German occupied port. sank a motor boat and damaged two harges." Front reports said the Russians were continuing their new Caucasus offensive northeast of the Soviet port at Tuapse. More than 5000 Germans already had been killed in this campaign. in which well-equip- ped Axis Alpine forces were retreat ing slowly in bitter fighting. Fighting was bitter on all active sectors of the winter-locked front with the Soviets making their most spectacular gains for the moment in the Rzhev sector.
 The communique said Soviet detachment had shot down IS en- emy planes on the Rzhev front in the last three days and front dis patches said the Red Army's ad- vance continued west of Rzhev and East of Veliki Luki despite the Ger manrand commands ruthless ct. tempts to stiffen resistance.
 The army newspaper Red Star said the German command had or. dered close liaison between it's air force and motorized infantry, step- ping up the pace of Axis counter attacks despite which the Russian advance continued.
 West of Rzhey, they sent full regiment of infantry. normally comprising 5000 men. and g de- taehment of 70 tanks into battle in an effort to dislodge the Russians from newly won positions. Seven fierce counter-attacks were started, but the Soviets beat them back methodicaliy. one after another.
 "At the end of the day the Hit. leFites were repulsed." the midnight communique said. having left on the battlefield three disabled tanks and about 300 dead"
 lThe situation had become SO ser lous for the Germans on the Rzhev front that Berlin radio saw fit last night to deny reports 1t alleged had emerged from Russia that the So viets had recaptured Rzhev. Nc such claim had been made by Rus sia. Both Rzhev and the railway leading to VyaxEna are firmly in German hands," the Nazi broadcast said.)
