Supply Seen Greatest Problem
OF Nozis in StoIingrod Drive
Won Books Difficulties Mount as Germans
Better Way Toward Key VoIeo City

, the combat areas is far too small
for such a load; every expedient
must be used. every possible means
| by which even a ton or two OF ma
terial can be moved forward few
miles must be incorporated In the
German system.
Guerrillas Behind Lines.
All this must be done under the
constant hammering Of the Rus
sian Air Force, and the constant
pressure by night and day of the
Russian guerrillas, operating against
every part Of the supply system
clear back to the German frontier.
1t is true that the Russians also
have a supply problem, but they
still have the magnificent river sup
ply system OF the Volga River open
to them, and the river hauls can
be comparatively short, since the
Volga is reached, above Stalingrad,
by several lines Of railway at sue
cession Of river ports. What is OF
more immediate Importance as the
battle approaches Stalingrad, is the
capacity of the military depots in
the city itself. The Germans have
no such support in their immediate
rear.
Very likely the fate of Stalingrad
may depend on the Russian artil-
lery being able to maintain a rate
OF fire sufficient to smash the sue
cessive waves Of German attack.
The gun is the great enemy OF the
tank, and massed artillery defend
ing a short front is almost impreg-
nable to tank attack as long as 1t
can be supplied with ammunition.
Don Hampers Germans.
The obstacle of the Don hampers
the Germans in all they do. They
are dependent on the capacity and
maintenance Of their bridges, and
they must be In continual expecta-
ton of a Russian .counterattack In
force, driving at these sensitive COM
munications from concentration
areas to the northward. Finally, the
obstacle of the Volga itself prevents
the Germans from using their tried
and tested encircling tactics. If
Stalingrad is to be taken, 1t must
be taken by head-on assault. It
cannot be outhanked.
Thus Marshal Won Books prob
lem, as he approaches his goal, be-
comes ever more difficult and more
costly of solution. He may solve It.
If he does, there are still other prob
lens yet unsolved. If he fails, how
ever, the German cause has received
a deadly blow, blow from which
1t may lack the capacity to recover.
It is fair to say that In the battle
OF Stalingrad the German stakes
are higher than the Russian.

| British Seomen
In Baltimore Get
Many YuIe Bids
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 23-"If half
the Royal Navy were docked here, l
still wouldn't be able to supply
enough lads for Baltimore families
who want British seamen to share
Christmas Day with them"
Thus John Melvin, manager of
the local British Merchant Navy
Club, sums up the clubs major
Christmas-time problem.
He spent q good portion Of last
week arranging the menu for a
typical English yuletide dinner,
complete with the traditional plum
pudding, which the club had plan
ned to serve to merchant and Royal
Navy men in port here.
Mr.. Melvin's plans were changed
abruptly when he began to receive
telephone calls. messages and tele-
grams by the score from Baltimore
families inviting the men to their
homes.
Many of the invitations, he said
today, were from parents whose sons
are now serving in England with the
American armed forces.
Just in case some of his boys be-
come bewildered by the rush and
miss out on dinner with an Amer
ican family, or to make sure that
those who are able to down two
Christmas dinners will have an op-
potunity to do 50, Mr.. Melvin will
be ready to serve Christmas dinner
at the club-complete with plum
budding.

of serious traffic viola tions, received
a Christmas present yesterday from
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles w.
Lee Elgin-but with strings at

Instead of suspending or revoking
their licenses, the customary pro-
cedure, Mr. Elgin put all of them on
probation for one year, after deliv-
ering an illustrated lecture on high
way safety.
The illustrations were mounted
enlarged photographs of accident
scenes, many of them gruesome af-
fairs. and Mr.. Elgin told the story
behind each of them to the 100
probationers gathered in a small
courtroom
In dismissing the drivers, Mr.. FL
gin said that if their records re-
manned clear until next Christmas
they would receive safe driver Ger

Appeals from eight to six members.
The measure, which was defeated
in the last term of the General As

Maryland Bar Association and will
be reintroduced this year, he ex-
planned.
Another provision in the bill would
prohibit members of the Court Of

Mr.. Humphrey is particularly op-

A shortage of ration board help
which threatened to snarl Fairfax
County's fuel oil rationing program
has been relieved and all immediate
threat of a tie-up has been ilimi-
mated, it was reported today by
State and county rationing officials.
L. E. Barkhouser, State fuel oil
rationing officer, reported from
Richmond that he had been in
formed by H. w. Zimmerman, field
rationing officer, who visited Fair
fax yesterday, that there had been
some instances in which too much
fuel had been allotted to consumers
In the area, but that these had
been due to the fact that persons
aiding in making the allotments
had not been properly trained in
the use Of the basic formula.
Mr.. Barkhouser said these in
accuracies probably would be
Strengthened out later when the
applications from the county had

Threat of Rotioning Tie-up
In Fairfax County Fades

County ration board officials said
that three persons had called the
board to report they had received
such a generous allotment they
would return some Of their coupons.
Former State Senator John w.
Rust, chairman of the Fairfax
board, reported that lack of both
paid and volunteer help had caused
the board to be swamped with ap-
plications at one time. He added that
the situation now seemed to be in
fairly good shape" and that all
remaining coupons should be mailed
out by the first part of next week.
Mr.. Rust blamed most of the con-
fusion on lack of help and lack of
facilities. He said the county now
has only six paid workers, when it
should have so, and that the board
is forced to carry on its operations
in one room when it should have 10.
He complained also that all Of the
rationing details must be attended
to over . single phone.

Maryland School Buses
Reported Freed Of Defects
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 23.-W. Lee
Elgin, commissioner of moter We
hicles, said yesterday that most of
the defects found recently in Mary
land school buses by inspectors of
the vehicles department had been
corrected.
Department inspectors, after a
close examination of the buses, re-
ported to Mr.. Elgin that some We
hicles were being operated with one
or more defects, such as empty fire
extinguishers and even defective
brakes and steering apparatus.
The motor vehicle commissioner
asserted that proper officials. in

ents, needed his request promptly
and remedied the defects.
