reported, but others were MANAGING
20 nold ground until reserves could
be brought up.
=. Inc Russian pace on other Sec
tlnns OF the long winter front was
SLOW moving but crushing, and Ia
the territory west of Rzhey sol-
oiers OF the Red Army slogeed into
battle.
The Caucasus front remained rel
atively stable, but Red Star said
Russian attack in one sector
southeast Of Nalchik had driven a
mne-deep wedge into q German
fortified zone.
100 Germans Slain.
The midday .communioue said I'm
German officers and men were killed
west Of Rzhev within "a hours as
at least two fierce enemy counter
attacks were repulsed and several
enemy strong points were occupied.
IN another sector Of the Rzhev
'front.' the Germans were thrown out
OF a populated point and among the
armament captured was a tank "in
good working order" the Russians
said.
Reference to Velikie Luki fighting,
30 miles from the Latvian border,
has been missing from recent COM
munlques, but todays noon war bull
letin noted that the Red Army was
attempting to wipe out German gar
fiSonS it had surrounded
1t also listed more than 1000 Axis
soldiers slain in the fighting last
night around Stalingrad, including
600 IN struggle northwest of the
city for defense point which the
Russians said they occupied.
On the northwestern edge Of the
city there was grenade and bayonet
lighting during a night raid on Ger
man positions and the Russians
claimed they killed about a company
of Germans and blew up an am
munition dump.
! At least II tanks were put out of
commission and vast stores of am
munition were captured in the Stall
1ngrad salients, the communique
noted.
| The Russians recounted that they
had dealt heavy blows at the enemy
not only west Of Rzhev but along
the railway running southwestward
out of the city of Vyazma.
I, Today's early war bulletin said
40 German tanks and 10 planes, in
cluding three transports, were de-
stroyed In action along the front.
Capture Of the two villages near
Rzhev was attained only after vio-
lent fighting, the early communique
said.
in another sector the men of
X formation in repulsing Hitlerite
counterattacks disabled 26 German
tanks and inflicted heavy losses on
the enemy's manpower," the COM
munique added.
"In the area of the Rzhev-Vyazma
Railway our Units demolished en-
emy Notifications. BY artillery and
mortar fire several dozen enemy
blockhouses were demolished, six
artillery and three mortar batteries
were silenced and about one bat
talon of German infantry was dis
persed and partly annihilated."
It was southwest of Stalingrad
where the Germans developed
push which held peril to the Rus
sian armies advancing toward Ko-
telnikovski, on the railroad line into
the Caucasus. The Russians pre-
viously admitted setback and
described a battle in which heavy
German tanks sidled out of a rolling
fog to bring pressure that forced
withdrawal.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-05
Thorough check-Up

Once upon a time there used to be complaints about the number of inspec- tors this city employed to go around checking up on the condition of fire hydrants, sidewalks, water-boxes, etc. We wonder if many people recall this now that there's lot of talk about faulty hydrantS. The failure of hydrant to respond properly at the Meriden Road 6re of Saturday night was the second such incident within short period of time. Either one in an isolated instance might have been passed over without more than passing comment, but two to- gether causes comment.
 We feel sure that thorough investiga- tion will be made to determine the cause of hydrant failure. After all If the city fathers don't satisfy themselves as to such reasons they, with the rest of us, might well believe that the same could happen at any time and would likely to happen. Tn view of the city'S evident de- top efficiency such a conclusion would be false one Consequently there has to be decisive action with regard to hydrant failure in both these recent oc- currenceS.
 Recourse to records of the Water De- partment should show how recently the faulty hydrantS were opened and tested, just as they should for all hydrants throughout the city Ability to fight fires with Waterbury's plentiful water sup ply should not be taken for granted, but should be determined by all factors. It's a tragic commentary on municipal competence to discover a flaw like hydrants that fail to work right. Forth right action is demanded; everyone ex- poets it will be taken.

Views Of The Press

which ends in January, l043, will be his last. Mir. Tinkham'S service in Congress began in 1915. He has had so little difficulty in being re-elect- ed that he has never campaigned, going abroad to hunt big game on the eve of an election. returning to find that he had been returned to Congress, and to mount new trophies on the walls Of his apartment.
 He now finds the foundations of his world shaken in more than one respect. 4 constituency which could ' be depended on to react to denup- ciatlon of Great Britain and Con- muniet Russia has been scattered. It ] has changed to . degree that caus- es him to say that his district has suffered major alterations, both by subtraction and addition.

Let's Not Wait Too Long

The demand for second front against Germany, on the European continent, IS mounting constantly through the United Nations There are millions, literally, who agree heartily with Lord Beaverbrooks passionate eXhortation: "Strike out to help Russia. Strike out violently. Strike even recklessly." The strategianS, upon whose decisions the fate of the world rests, are inclined to be cautious. They do not want to launch the decisive coun- ter-offenSive until the United Nations are equipped down to the last rifle bullet.
 Perhaps the experts are right. Never theless, there are major arguments strongly in favor of the more daring course. If, as in the World War, we pos sessed France and Belgium and Italy ana Russia as bridgeheads for our Anglo American invasion forces, we could bet ter afford to delay. But France and Bel gium are occupied, Italy is an axis part ner. Only Russia remains, on the conti- nent, to keep the Nazis occupied and pro- vide us with welcoming landing place.
 If we delay until Russia may be beaten, there will be no spot on the continent where we can plant our feet without hav- ing first to push the well-trained, we'll equipped Reich veterans back from the coast. Withholding no smallest lota or the credit due the Russians for thelr amazingly courageous and capable de- fenSe, and the winters counter-offenSlVe, we can still be realists. Our experts are. Their hope that Stalins forces can With stand Hitler'S Spring drive is very small.
 So we arrive inevitably at the conclu- sion that we are backed into corner by the horns of dilemma. Either we must strike before we are thoroughly prepared, or we shall face almost inSurmountaole obstacles later. The decision must rest upon whether the best-informed strate- gfans conclude that our striking power and our ability to transport that Strengtn to where it is needed-can be expanded by further delay more than Hitler's de- fensive resources will be increased 1n the meanwhile.
 Lord Beaverbrook, who might be ex- pected to have accurate information, says: "7ow admirably Britain is now equipped in weapons of war for directing such an attack on Germany, well know" In all probability the United States today can equip as many we'll trained troops as there will be shipping to carry to Europe for long time to come. If we intend to take the war to Ger many, we mustn't wait too long. We can't win by skipping the axis wrist.
