Fears
Stalingrad
is Doomed

LONDON, Sept. Is - UH -
Many military observers believ-
ed today that the fall of Stain
grad could not be long delayed,
and the clamor for a second
front, which quoted after Prime
Minister w n ston Churchill's
visit to Moscow, rose again.
The News Chronicle said the
fact that nothing could be done
in the west now to affect Stall
ingrad's fate did not make the
necessity of a second front less
urgent, but more so.
I'VE ought now to be weigh
ing the major risk - of Russia
so crippled she cannot next year
put forth her full f Jig ht ing
strength - against the lesser
risks of an immediate diver
sion," the News Chronicle said.
The Communist Daily Work
er asked "When?" in big let
ters on the front page 1t edi-
torially charged that Munich
ties were sabotaging the OPEN
ing of second front.
The government must take
heed" it said. Dissatisfaction
already is turning into anger"
Observers who regarded Stall
ingrad'S fall as an ultimate fact
tried to analyze the effect its
stern resistance will have had
on the German time table.
The Daily Express said, how
ever, that Stalingrad might yet
be held if Russian attack on
the German left flank at Klets-
kaya, rs miles to the north
west, could be developed.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16-tP
Clarence Burlington Kelland,
executive director and publicity
chief of the Republican Nation
al Committee, declared in ad-
vance of western speaking
trip today that the administra-
ton appeared to be putting off a
full war effort until after the
elections lest the attendant
sacrifices have adverse political
consequences.
Kelland said he would stress
this contention on a campaign
trip beginning Thursday which
would embrace Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and probably
the Dakotas.
There seems to be DISPOSE
ton on the part of the powers
that be-" he said in an inter-
view, Ito postpone an about
war effort, with the sacrifices
it entails by the public, until
after the elections. There seems
to be apprehension lest the ask
ing of necessary sacrifices now
have a political effect and loss
of votes"
Kelland said the Republican
party docs not believe in that"
and added:
1T believes the American
people are ready to make any
sacrifice of comfort or even
necessities that the war effort
requires, and it will not take
any improper political advantage
of any just demand that is made
upon the American people to ia
cilitate our effort in this war"

land in one Of the epic rescues Of
the war, it was announced tonight.
Planes participating in the search

$4,000 miles, while corvettes, de-
stroyers, sloops and tugs swept
hundreds of square miles of water.
The search began soon after four
small boats put out from the blazing
merchantmen, which had been holed
by torpedo. For four days planes
flew. in relays over the area before
the first lifeboat was sighted in the
dim light of dawn by a Sunderland
flying boat.
After Morse signals from a fash
light had told the pilot that the
boat was from the stricken ship.
supplies OF milk. orange juice and
chocolate were dropped. and the ID

on the way. They were picked up
later that day By rescue vessel.
Three days later a Sunderland

A destroyer was dispatched to the
area and the next morning took
aboard the 80 occupants of the two
boats.
Six more days were required to
