BY HENRY SHAPIRO


MOSCOW, July 25-tUP) - Axis
reserves pounded across a carpet
of dead against the defenses OF
Rostov and squadrons of enemy
parachute troops attempted mass
raids on strategic rear line areas
today as the Red army fought to
hold the Don river line in a big
battle for the Caucasus.
Soviet dispatches acknowledged
a break through by the enemy in
one sector before Rostov and said
the Germans advanced at great
cost ca another sector, but an Axis
bridgehead pushed across the Don
river northeast of Rostov was wiped
out and 1t appeared that the Rus
slams were making an all out fight
for the south bank
GERMAN GAINS
"a German communique claimed
that Rostov and Novocherkassk had
been captured but admitted street
fighting continued in Novocher-
kaSsk. The NaziS also reported that
fighting for a crossing of the Don
near Rostov had developed on a
broad front and that German troops
were near the easternmost bend OF
the DIN, some 35 miles from Stall
ingrad on the Volga)
Dispatches emphasized that the
Germans were making determined
effort to encircle and capture Ros-
tov, but said that the Red air force
repeatedly had broken up "frenzied"
enemy attacks by mechanized forces,
parachute troops, and infantry.
Russian troops were shouting a
new battle cry:
I'VE shall die, but not retreat"
SUPPORT IN AIR
They were getting support from
their own air arm which, with a
small squadron of dive bombers and
assault planes, had in two sOrtieS,
knocked out SO German tanks and
ITO munition and troop transports.
The red air fighters the same day
downed 32 Messerschmitt fighters.
Ten days ago the Russians permit
ted disclosure that American Boeing
and Douglas bombers were aiding
the fighting in the south. More are
arriving daily.
Thei LuftWaffe was said to be op-
Grating in compact groups in their
effort to disorganize the Soviet rear
by raids on large populated points
where the Red army forces might
be maSsing men or equipment. At
least one MeSserschmitt fighter was
accompanying each Junkers bomber
or transport.
In counterattacks, the Soviet air
force pounded the front line Ger
man air fields where the Nazis
have concentrated large units of
transports and bombers.
German resistance before Vor-
onezh has stiffened with the arrival
of infantry, tank, and artillery re-
Inducements, the newspaper Red
Stars correspondent reported.
The enemy, thus strengthened,
counterattacked behind intensified
artillery and mortar fire and aerial
bombing, but were beaten off, Red
Star said
An especially fierce struggle prog
ressed on the Don crossings as the
Nazis erected bridge after bridge
only to have them destroyed by the
accurate bombing of Soviet airmen
and fire of Soviet artillery.
Their own counterattacks have
failed, the Germans were reported
digging in with reinforcements of
antitank artillery in the hope of
stemming the Soviet counteroffen-
sive at the Don, the reports said.
The defenders OF Rostov were said
to be laying a carpet of dead Ger
mans and wrecked tanks across the
road to the Caucasus.

Valentine ideas are practical
for the celebration of anniversa-
ries even after St. Valentines day
is past.
Recently I saw an anniversary
celebration at which a cranber-
ry mold was used. Cranberry
jelly cut in heart shapes was
placed around the big mold. The
number of small hearts cor
responded to the number Of years
the couple had been married.
The heart-shaped cakes and
molds Of ice cream are much in
use for anniversary celebrations
and carry out the idea effective
". Heart-shaped candies may
also be used to decorate whipped
cream or desserts.

Free Switzerland

The Swiss Confederation was
formed August l, 1891, when VAL
ley Uri, the Valley of Schwyz and
the lower Valley of Unterwald
combined in an Everlasting
League" BY 1899 the Swiss league
had practically won its independ-
ence from the Hapsburg empire,
and in 1648 that status was for
mally recognized.
Swiss custom is to celebrate the
independence as dating from the
formation of the confederation
and on August l, last, Swiss all
over the world observed the 650th
anniversary of their freedom.

far enough north to have ice, an

over well. A card party featuring

IN A NEWSPAPER heading saw
the, for these days, Insignificant fig
ure of IL 'sbillion" dollars. The bill
ion'' I passed over as of no conse-
quence to me and as something !
could not comprehend, but the IL
stuck as something ! could apply to
myself.
AS a small boy, my money was
counted in pennies and wealth was
figured in what pennies would buy.
For IL pennies could get IL penny

NAL bang"
Then came the early teens, the
first girl stage, and money was
counted in dimes. With the II dimes,
could buy two tickets for the NOV
les, with two ice cream sodas after
the show.
When working age came along and
/ found $11 in a pay envelope, had
really arrived at mans estate and
could carry folding money. I could
put a bit of it in the bank each
week.
In the course of time those small
savings accumulated until they
amounted to 81 100. While that was
wealth undreamed of but a few
years before, I could still under
stand and comprehend it as applied
to myself. It meant down-payment
on a modest home.
Over the years I have learned to
realize what II 900 might mean, but
my conception or imagination had
not carried me on to ii million,
when millions became obsolete and
the talk was only of billions.
/ cannot visualize one billion, any
more than IL, SO or 100 billions. |
cannot imagine what such a sum
could be used for. Because ! cannot
apply it to myself, it is very imper-
sonal and does not mean me in any
particular. But when pause long
enough to think a bit seriously, /
know that it does. know that as
one of 1870 million people, I must as
sumo my share of the 100 and more
billion that must be paid by that
100 million people, their children and
grandchildren. And my share is
something more than $1,000, sum
I can visualize. That and more is
what either I, or my children or
grandchildren must pay.
Billions? No, / do not know what
they mean. Let US get away from
them and talk in terms you and /
can understandable sums each OF
us or our children and grandchil-
dren must pay.
If congress would just put appro-
priations on such a basis, we would
know what we are getting in for, and
we might call halt on some of the
unnecessary spending.
If you have the time these busy
days. since most all America is busy,
for a little diversion, you could sit
down and try to figure out just what

TAXES AND
CORPORATION DIVIDENDS


Taxes are being levied ostensibly
for the purpose of preventing inf1a-
ton during a time of high wages
and high prices. They are being
levied not only against the individu-
al, but also against the corporation
and, to prevent imitation, are cutting
down, and in many cases confiscating
the dividends. Under such condi-
tions there is one class that is espe-
cially entitled to sympathy-those
who through thrift and frugality
have saved that they might have
competency to see them through de-
clining years, and must now pay the
heavily increased taxes out OF what
is left of diminishing income. They
are past the working years. Their
savings, from which they expected to
live, are invested in the stocks and
bonds of corporations. These cor
porations cannot now pay as they
have in previous years and from
their smaller incomes, these frugal,
thrifty people must pay heavily in
creased taxes. Today this class has
reason to question the advantages of
thrift.
