NAZIS STIFFEN:
Defenses in Russia

Heavy counter-attacks by Nazi
tempt to lift the pressure on their
forces had been expected in an at
lgions pinched by Russ armies in
the Don River bend near Stain
grad and faced with critical diff
culties in the Rzhev area northwest
of Moscow. But the Soviet armies
had been ready for them and had
checked the advances after the Ger
mans made some initial gains.
The Germans had used all the
tricks in their bag-dive bombers,
tanks and infantry assaults - to
roll back the Russians southwest
of Stanlingrad, but their efforts
resulted in costly losses of men
and equipment.
So effective were the Red opera
tions in the Stalingrad area that
despite the bitterness of the figst-
ing, workmen protected by the Red
arm yhad repaired an extensive
mileage of railroad tracks and sup
ply trains were ableto move in for
the first time in many months.
That the Germans we're deter
mined to hold strategic Rzhev at
all costs was indicated by the large
number Preserves they threw into
waves of attacks on that front.
The sturdy Russians, however, abb
sorbed these blows and prepared
for further assaults of their own.

Rains Came

Tropical rains had intervened to
bog down American and British
ground forces in the Tunisia war
fare, giving the Nazis respite.
Land actions had dwindled down to
the extent of patrol sorties, with the
Allies apparently continuing to sac
rifice forward territory to reduce
losses pending the launching of a
full-scale offensive.
Operating from main bases in AL
geria and from forward makeshift
fields in Tunisia, Allied fliers kept
up harassing bombing attack on
the Axis-held ports of Tunis and
Bizerte. Rains, however kept the
action from the forward air fields
TO intermittent flights. Any stretch
of good weather which would dry
these fields would permit the Allied
air forces to step up their attacks.

ROMMEL:
His Forces Split

Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel found himself in his toughest
spot as the British eighth army,
commanded by Sir Bernard Mont
gomery, cut his fleeing Axis forces
in two in the Libyan Desert, theat-
ening thousands of enemy troops
with capture or death.
In sudden thanking movement,
advanced British forces reached
Wadi Matratin, 55 miles west of Ell
Agheila on the Gulf of Sirte. There
the British spearhead slashed
southwark, cutting off RommePs
army. One Nazi force continued
to flee to the west and the other
was caught between the British
main army and the advanced ele-
ments.
1t had been apparent that Rom
mel had only been feainting in his
defense Of FL Agheila, But it was
just as apparent that Montgomery
had outsmarted Rommel.
Even before this latest maneuver,
Raj pilots strafed the German col
umns as they retreated from FL
Agheila. Early advances necessar-
lily had to be cautious because Rom
mel had left his wake strewn with
land mines.
II appeared increasingly certain
that the main question was whether
Rommel would succeed in getting
his men into Tunisia, 475 miles
west of FL Agheila, to join with the
forces of Gen. Walther Nehring.

the board after municipal
authorities refused to bar
gain collectively with en-
ployeS.
The board completely reversed
recommendation of panel, COM
posing President Milton Murray,
American Newspaper Guild (CIO)
and the eminent legal authority,
Prof. Alexander Hamilton Frey Of
the University of Pennsylvania.
The panel recommended that the
city of Newark be directed to rec
ognize Local 277, State, County and
Municipal Workers (CIO), and to
negotiate wage adjustments and
overtime pay with the union. In
its stated opinion 65 strikers were
refused reinstatement through dis
elimination, and the Department Of
Public Works should be ordered to
reinstate them.
The boards decision leaves the
SCMW just where it was-against
an anti-union, hostile employer,
Commissioner j. M. Byrne, who
decided before the case was argued
before the board that it did not
have jurisdiction.
Likewise the Transport Workers
Union (CIO), which has been get
ting the run-around for a year
from the New York City Board OF
Transportation, is left with no APP
peal from the undemocratic set-up
of the board.
President Michael Quill told the
board that the union would not

could not break the union. Mayor
F. H. LaGuardia boycotted the

Prof. Wayne l.. Morse, without

those with private industry.
Many other critical situations
now become more critical in view
of the NWLB ruling. AS President
Abram Flaxer of the SCMW said,
government workers have been
pushed around so long that they
are leaving the public service and
entering war industries. He cited
instances:
The mayor of Akron, where the
turnover has increased 1000, has
asked for a job-freeze to keep city
employees from going into rubber
and chemical work.
In one state hospital in Michigan
the turnover is 1860. In SONS
mental hospitals the personnel
problem is so acute that inmates
are given jobs. At the Ypsilante
(Mich.) State Hospital an inmate
is chief cook.
In the Salem, Ore, state mental
hospital where AZ men and women
recently died of poisoning, inmates
had been given jobs assisting in
the kitchen and had unwittingly
substituted rat powder for pow
dered milk.

Reports last week had Everett
virtually cinching the Cross State
title as a result of their 10 VIC
tory over previously unbeaten

NO YAKIMA FORFEIT
Basis for Everett's champion
ship claim was a purported forfeit
victory from Yakima, which gave
the Gulls more victories than Sta
dunn could register even IL the
Tigers defeated Everett and won
all the rest OF their league games.
However Coach John Helm
rick Of Stadium said Monday
morning that the Everett
Yakima game Was not a for
felt, because early In Septem-
her Yakima informed all
Cross State league opponents
that 10 might have 10 cancel
games because Of demand for
students TO pick apples. Such
was the case when Yakima
was unable to play Everett
several weeks ago, Heinrich
said.
Heinrich planned to give the
Tigers two days rest before re-
suming practice for the Everett
game. The Bengals had TO sit

dispatches.
