Production of Parking
Meters Discontinued
Continued From Page u


as a result of decreased automobile
use because of the rubber and gaso-
line situations and widespread adop-
ton of group riding plans, there
would be a substantial reduction in
the demand for parking space.
"Stoppage of production of meters
will mean an end, temporarily at
least, to the spread of meters. This
will be welcome news to motorists
who, in addition to paying their other
automotive taxes, are digging deep in
to their pockets for increased Federal
taxes to say nothing of purchases of
War bonds and stamps
ALREADY in some quarters it has
been suggested that meters now in
operation and fully paid for by motor
lists be uprooted and turned in for
salvage. While this proposal has
been given no serious consideration as
yet, it is true that where meters have
been paid for, it has been almost in

motorists rather than OUTLAWS by city
treasures. Accordingly, donation of
the meters for scrap would not be a
financial loss to the cities and would
be a financial gain to motorists who
could again par kfree as they did in
the pre-meter era.
1T is also true that decreased use
Of automobiles will mean a great re
duction in the pressing demand for
parking space-a demand which in
pre-war times had grown so insistent
that cities resorted to such expedients
as meters in an effort to stave off the
necessity for providing a permanent
solution to the parking problem. The
greater the decrease in parking de-
mand, the less excuse there will be for
continuing these understanding de-
vices in operation"

NO SUCCESSOR TO
 HARLOW IS DUE

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 27-CUP) Harvard university is not expected to appoint a successor to Head Football Coach Richard c. Harlow who goes on active duty Tuesday with the U. S. Navy, it was said by a Harvard Athletic Association spokesman today.
 Like any other coach who gets a leave of absence, Harlow's job will not be filed" a reliable spokesman said.
 Assistant coaches will direct football if it is played. No one knows whether Harvard or any other college will be playing inter cillegiate football next year. It's entirely up to the Army and Navy as to whether football gets a go ahead and whether there are any boys left in the colleges to play"
 The spokesman said that both the Army and the Navy had been ask ing HarloW's services "and those of almost every coach in the country" since last summer.
 However, it was said that if foot ball is played if there is transporta- ton and if there are boys to play, Harvard will attempt to complete the regular schedule for l943.

 MT. Roosevelt told Jeffers and Henderson that the need for na- tion-Wide gasoline ratsoning as a rubber conservative measure grows more acute with every day that passes" The Army and Navy must have rubter, he said. and civilians must conserve their tires.
 He quoted the Baruch committees report which warned that unless measures were taken to conserve ex- isting rubber tires this country will face both a military and civilian collapse" The Barueh report, is sued last summer, described the United States as a have not" na- tion with respect to rubber.
 Since then" the President said in his letter. 'the situation has be- come more acute. not less. Since then our military requirements for rubber have become greater. not smaller. Since then many tons of precious rubber have been lost through driving not essential to the war effort. We must keep every pound we can on our wheels 10 maintain our wartime transporta- ton system.
 We must do everything within our power to see that the program starts Dec. 1 because victory must not be delayed through failure to support our fighting forces"

(Continued from Page D owards the concentration of Ger man forces on the east coast of TuniSia.
 German forces have been thrown back to position 24 miles southwest of Tunis by American and French forces.
 "The First British army, which progressed along the northeast
 coast, forced German advance units to retreat to a short dis tance from Bizerte.

 An Allied headquarters com munique announced the capture ot Med -El-Bab after overcoming furious German resistance.
 Allied planes provided protection for the tank spearheads, the com munique said, after American army planes had made a smashing at tack yestreday morning on the great Axis airdrome near Tunis and destroyed at least 10 grounded planes.
 It was indicated that the Allied army had advanced without delay up the railroad after taking Med jez-El-Bab, led by its tanks which probably included new American General SheTmans.
 The communique, giving the first definite word in days of the actual position and operations of the Allied force was believed to mean that af- ter moving masses of men and ma terials to the front and obtaining aerial achievements, Gen. Eisen- hover had launched his big Of fensive to invest the Germans ir their Bizerte-Tunis northeast cor ner and drive through the Eas Tunisia coast so as to sever Axi. communications between Tunis anc Libya.
 The Allied communique said tha in their raid on Tunis, American plane crews saw debris of planes de stroyed in previous raids on the air drome. The planes encountered strong anti-aircraft fire but met nC fighter challenge.
 Planes of the British Air Force in a series of offensive sweeps or Wednesday, shot down at least l. planes, bringing a 24-hour Allied bag to at least 22
 Seven Allied planes failed to re- return from operations reported, the communique said, but pilots of three were saved.

Continued from Page n the southern part of the city, the Russians, in hand to hand battle, drove the Germans from one forti- fled line after another.
 The advance an northern Stalin- grad had accelerated Soviet success ses in the northeastern bend of the Don. There, the German left flank was all but destroyed, dispatches said, and the Russians were swarm ing over the east bank of the river and mopping up the Germans wiso remained on the west bank inside the elbow.
 Moreover, substantial success had been made in carving up the Germans right flank south of StSl- ingrad and destroying it piece by piece, dispatches said.
 Moving southeast via the Stalin- grad-T -Tikhoretzk railroad, as well as against the flank from east and west, the Russians were trying to roll up the enemy in this sector, the only remaining base of the Germans inside Stalingrad.
 Final destruction of the right flank would leave the Germans in- side Stalingrad and those between Stalingrad and the Don without support.
 Neither the noon conmuniQue nor a special coinmuniQue last nieht made clear how far the prongS of a pincers far out beyond the west bank of the Don were from closing, The Russians were driving simul- taneously from southwest and northwest of Stalingra6, It was in dicated that a drive from directly west of Stalingrad had spread out up and down the west bank of the Don to mop up German forces in the bend and trap those caught be- tween the Den and Volga,
 Last night Soviet troops, over coming enemy resistance in the Stalingrad, Soviet troops in flank ing attack threw back the enemy. occupied four large blocks of houses and killed more than 250.
 Northwest of Stalingrad, Soviet troops are advancing after overcom- ing resistance. More than 1000 of the enemy were annihilated, many prisoners three tanks, 65 machine guns, l64 trucks and other booty were captured.
 ''On another sector northeweSt of Stalingrad, Soviet tanks and infan- try destroyed 66 tanks and 9 planes occupied a railway station and cap tured l9 locomotives, 100 coaches, 168 gasoline trucks and several stores of war material.
 (The capture of so many trucks might indicate that the Germans were short of gasoline.
 Despite bad weather. the So- viet air force harassed the retreat ing Germans.
 Southwest of Stalingrad. Soviet troops wiped out 600 Of the enemy, destroyed g machine gun points, four guns and five tanks, and captured six guns and two armored cars and took many priS- cnerS."
 Little fighting was reported in the Caucasus. Southeast of Nalchik in the Central Caucasus, Soviet ar tillery dispered and partly wiped out company (200 men) of the enemy, the noon communique said. On another sector, German tommy gunners infiltrated Soviet defenses, and were killed to a man.
 Artillery duels were reported on the northwestern front, between Moscow and Leningrad.
