MOSCOW, Nov. 21.-Success-
fully storming heights at Stain

Russians were reported showing
fresh strength today in their
bloody give-and-take battle with
the German invaders.
During the night a Red Army
unit dislodged the enemy from a
strongly-fortihed height southeast
OF Nalchik in the mid-Caucasus and
killed 300 Germans, the midday
communique said. In the Nozdok
sector northeast of Nalchik another
Soviet unit was credited with killing
100 fpemen in a small-scale attack
such as the Russians have been
launching in increasing numbers
for several days.
Overnight at Stalingrad attacks

skirts, where Red counterthrusts
had taken height few hours earl
ier. Aggressive scouting activity in
which enemy trenches were entered
and 30 Germans killed also was
credited to the Stalingrad garrison.
Reds Repulse Assaults.
The Red Army lines in Stalingrad
were reported to have stood up un-
der all German assaults since a gap
made by a recent breakthrough into
a northern workers settlement was
filled in and the enemy elected.
The German command, defeated
in its Caucasian drive on Ordzhoni-
kidze, apparently was struggling to
repair its broken lines southeast of
Nalchik and recapture positions lost
to the Russian counterblows.
Nazi infantry supported by tanks
and Rumanian Alpine troops struck
at Russian forces which had thrown
them back from the approaches to
Ordzhonikidze. The army newspa-
per, Red Star, declared all these at
tacks-along the Nalchik plain and
in the foothills of the Caucasus
Mountains-repulsed, with many
more dead added to the original Axis
battle losses of 5000 or more.
