COMMANDO RAID:
Official Success

AS Allied service chiefs studied
the results of the Commando raid
on Dieppe, official sources declared
that the operation fulfilled its objec-
tive. Valuable information on Nazi
defenSes was secured.
The raid, employing British and
Canadian Commandos supported by
American Rangers, was a nine-hour
battle on the Nazi-fortifed coastal
defenses at Dieppe, midway between
Calais and LIE Havre. Initial Ger
man estimates placed the invader
force at $4,000, but the exact num-
Der remained an Allied secret. The
force carried tanks and artillery
with them.
"As the result of heavy fighting
f. our casualties were high but
not unduly so in view of the opera
tion," the British communique said.
"The navy lost fairly large num-
Der of landing craft because naval
craft did not leave the French coast
until it was known that every possi-
BILE man had been taken off,"
The raiders were reported to have
destroyed ammunition dumps, a six-
gun shore artillery battery, a large
anti-aircraft battery and a radio To-
cation station.
Reports from Vichy placed British
dead at 500.
Later reports indicated that an
unlucky break cost the Allied troops
heavy losses. Raiding craft carry
ing Commando troops were inter-
cepted by an enemy patrol boat just
before they were about to land. The
Commando craft was severely DAM
aged by Nazi fire, but even more
important, warning was given to
the Nazi coastal defense batteries
which were the raiders objective.
The interception by the patrol boat
was termed an unlucky 1000 to
chance.
Reliable sources stated that the
| raid was successful operation.

ELECTRIC POWER:
Less for Civilians

In a move to readjust its war
time power expansion program the
War Production board has halted or
suspended work on IS public and
private power projects. In addition,
the WPB assigned such low priority
ratings to % federal projects that
completion probably will be post
poned until after the war, unless
new demands arise. The WPB said
that "civilian inconvenience and
sacrifice must be expected"
The move is expected to lead to
widespread curtailment Of civilian
consumption of electricity and pow
er service after this year. Materi-
ais saved by hating construction
will be used to complete more vital
utility construction jobs.
Under the readjusted program,
WPB gave the green light only to
enough power projects to assure
electricity for "war and indirect
war production as now planned. +"
However, a small margin" has
been included to care for possible
additions to the present munitions
program.

ing appeared more imminent with
the governments order to restrict
deliveries to dealers to IS per cent
of last years deliveries as COM
pared with the present monthly quo
ia of IS per cent.
The decrease in coffee deliveries
was but one of several actions which
will bring the war ever closer to
Mr.. and Mrs. John Public.
Increased employment has result
ed in steps by the War Production
board to make cotton looms turn
out more rugged fabrics needed for
serviceable work clothes.
The theater-going public may have
reduced fare in the not so distant
future. Operators of movie and
stage theaters were warned by WPB
that shortages of materials would
make it increasingly difficult to keep
all show houses open.

WAR PRODUCTION:
An Important Date

Straight from the source that
should know-the War Production
board-the nation learned how it
was doing in the battle of the as
sembly lines. Donald Nelson, WPB
chief, told the u. S. frankly where
it stood. It amounted to this: War
production is ahead in some catego-
ries, behind schedule in others. Big
gest problems are shortages of ma
terials and balancing of output
among various agencies and service
branches. These, he said, are get
ting vigorous attention.
Such production also now has a
date objective. Nelson said that
u. S. war production is being
planned to provide the maximum
impact on the enemy by July /,
1943. This does not mean that our
offensive will necessarily reach its
peak by that date but this is the
definite strategic goal of production
and all production will be gauged
by the one question: "How much
will it contribute to the war effort by
July l, 1943?"

ALLOTMENT:
Speed Up

Dependents of enlisted men in the
u. S. armed forces will be getting
their allotments earlier than Novem-
Der ! under the terms of a bill
passed by congress and now signed
by the President.
After the President had affixed his
signature the navy said it would is
sue such allotment checks Every
soon" and the army announced that
their payments would start early in
September.
Originally these payments would
have started November /, although
applications filed early would be re-
troactive to June /. Basic payment
to dependents is $50 per month, serv-
icemen contributing $22 and the
army or navy $28.
1t could not be determined how
many applications for. such pay
ments had been made 70 the army
or navy. 1t was estimated how
ever that about half the men in the
service would have dependents re-
ceiving the allotmentS.

RUSSIA:
Bloody Battle

Good news resulting from Allied
ofensives in the Pacific was offset
by continued reversals on the Rus
sian front. AS the Nazi pincer move
ment drove relentlessly toward
Stalingrad, the official Soviet COM
munique admitted new crossings of
the Don river.
In the area northeast of Kotel-
nikovo," the communique said, "our
troops fought intensive battles with
large tank and infantry forces. On
various sectors the Germans, at the
cost of tremendous losses, managed
to advance"
Fresh Nazi reinforcements,
brought out of the reserve pool or
shifted from other sectors, were
thrown into the bloody battle for
Stalingrad. The reckless disregard
of losses gave evidence of Nazi des-
peration for knockout blow to the
Red army.
Stalingrad is rich prize. It's
prime importance is in it's location
on the Volga river, along which the
oil of Baku and Allied supplies
shipped through the Persian gull
reach central Russia. In addition
| the city's huge plants produce tanks
and war supplies, and its oil re.
fineries add to it's strategic value.

In respect to men deferred be-
cause of war work, Gen. Hershey
