 Washington. Dec 1s-Among the more unpleasant features of the fuel oil shortage. oPA points out. is the attitude oG some people in the distributing end of the fuel oil businesses.

So these unpatsa- otie cakisens are raiEang a fuss about conversion and raaanning. fnsteaf of recommending the only health full and logical procedure. They know that theyre mot going to haEe enough oil to keep every fuel-nil user snug this winter. but they're contributing nothing to the solu- ton except suzzae ye1ls and kicks about ratiGning.
 One of their main arguments against conversion ls that coal is also scarce It's true that there is q coal shortage and that it may be TaEiuneG eventually But there wun't be the irrenedlakle shortage that there is fla 0il. for the simple reason that coal. rAallrang no spe- ezaa tank CATS.

Soviets In Ferocious
 Battle With Germans
They Are Fighting Main Nazi Army Within 30 Miles of Kharkov; Sweden Says Germans Are
 Preparing to Retreat
BY FREDERICK KUH Limited Press Staff Correspondent

London. Jan. 6 -UP)- Russia E southern army has opened major offensive against Kharkov, great in- dustrial center of the Donets River Basin. it was revealed today as Mos COW announced that the Red army had swept 45 miles across the Kerch peninsula in the Crimea.
 Unofficial dispatches reported 6 ferocious big scale battle within 90 miles of Kharkov between the army of Marshal Semyor. Timoshenko, which first turned the tide against the Germans by retaking Rostov on Don, and the once triumphant Ger man army of Field Marshal Walter Von Reichenau.
 Stockholm reports said there were indications that the Germans were preparing to retreat from Kharkov before the hammer blows of the Russians who had swept down sud- denly from the area between Kursli and the Don river.
 Successful development of the Russian drive would be a threat to the entire German position in the south, and would mean in even it's first phase, the probable freeing of Kharkov, Russia's fourth city. This would leave only Kiev, 250 miles to the west, in German hands among the four big cities of European Rus sia
 A special dispatch to the Russian army newspaper Red Star reported that shock troops under Lieut.. V. N. Lrov had dislodged the Germans from almost the whole of the vital

The Japanese flyers must have thought the small seaplane tender blowing through the sea below would be an easy victim. Today, the Heron's commander wears 21s stripes on his sleeve and the blue and white ribbon of the navy cross for heroic action. Lieut..
