Hopp, J. Bender, s. Marchese and J. O'Con- nor play a fine defense. w. Rosa and s. Bianio were the spark heads of the Wolves attack but their best efforts could not put the Wolves back into the game. The Hungry "5" packed too much pow CT for the Wolves. Score:

The Hungrys have been riding a four game winning streak and should be a slight favorite. The Hungry 5 have two topnotch for wards in Speedy" Lou Rinaldi and Foxy" Doc Summa while John Bender plays fine defensive game at the pivot post.

being told confidentially that the
losses Of the Nazi forces and their
allies amount to about 1000 men
a day. This figure Is discredited,
however, by American and Brit
ish observers who believe tho
truth Is closer to twice that
figure.
The Nazi high command also
explains to its neutral friends
who have representatives in
Berlin that the difficulties en-
countered in conquering Stalin-
grad were no surprise. Towns
built Of stone as . rule are difn-
cult to capture and the Nazis
cited Barcelona and Madrid,
which resisted for a long time In
spite of Generalissimo Francisco

Virtually . Verdun.
The Nazi generals say the Rus
slams constructed Stalingrad not
only as an important industrial
center but also as their most
powerful fortification. Every fac
tory and workers building in the
city and its outskirts was con-
structed like a blockhouse. AS
soon as the Nazis broke through
Rostov large quantities of ma
chine-guns, small field guns and
other equipment were rushed to
these buildings.
Moreover, both banks of the
Volga River were heavily fortified
and provided with ammunition.
Thus when the Nazi forces ar
rived in front Of Stalingrad they
faced a city which was fortified
almost as well as Verdun.
The action of German aviation
against ammunition factories has
been effective. according to NaA
accounts. But although these
have been razed to a great extent
by heavy German bombs there
were enough arms and ammuni-
ton stored in the concrete sub
terranean storerooms to enable
the Russians to hold on without
suffering from lack of equipment.

ganda, namely, that if Germany
loses the whole German people
viii be exterminated in revenge
for the atrocities in Europe.
+ In fact, it almost seems as
though the Nazis are pursuing
the atrocities with a political
purpose in mind that goes be-
yond the subsection of the con-
quered, namely, the conscious
creation of such hatred of Ger
many that the Nazis can warn
the German people Either we
win or all perish together"
AS matter of fact, Hitler said
just this in his last speech.
The answer to that is Presi-
dent Roosevelts statement, The
number of those found guilty will
undoubtedly be extremely small
compared to the total enemy
populations"
I do not know exactly what the
President means by extremely
small" One half of ! per cent
of the German population would
be 100000. 1t is an error to be-
leve that mere handful of
people are alone responsible for
the unexampled atrocities per-
petrated in Europe by the occu-
pying forces. One can bring q
case against the entire Gestapo
and the entire S. S., whom even
the Germans call under their
breaths Die Mordbuben' (the
>Murder-Apaches).
Some Crimes Are Internal.
Nor are all the crimes being
committed in the occupied coun-
tries. There are the organized
crimes committed in Germany
itself-crimes which will presum-
ably be left to the vengeance of
the German people.
The effectiveness Of the Presi-
dents statement, as part Of a
psychological campaign, will de-
pend upon how it is exploited and
how specific it is made.
Its second significance is that
1t closes the door to any compro-
mise peace with the criminals
presently ruling Germany. The
President, in calling these war
criminals the ''ringleaders,"
points to the Nasi gang. But we
know that there are generals
for instance Stuelpnagel in Paris
who are equally guilty of every
conceivable breach of humane
practice or internal law. And this
means that a compromise peace
with such men is equally out of
the question.
This should be made clear to
the German people, and they
should be advised, in the interest
OF saving their own skins, to
sever any connection they may
have with the guilty.
Must Define Guilty Acts.

quires two actions: First, defini-

The Great Gume of Politics
WPB shokeup Viewed as Step Toword Efficiency,
But Agencies Continue to Be Overmonned

/ in the hands Of people who did not
know how to make them stick. Now
| priorities are being administered
along the lines that were effective
In the last war-and already the
shortages Of raw materials do not
seem so formidable.
Perfection, Of course, will never
be attained. but that in two months
there will be very great increase in
efficiency is not doubted by those
who understand the drastic nature
Of the changes underway: :
There win still remain the great
handicap Of the way In which all
governmental agencies are over
manned. There just are too many
people employed to operate effec-
lively. The latest official figures give
the number of civilians on the Fed
eral payroll August l as 2,327,932
On that date the Office of Price
Administrator, hardly a year old,
had 25,938.
At the rate they have been going
on. the OPA total must now be over
10000 and the grand total close to
2,500, 900. 1t just does not make
sense. Every board and bureau is
clogged. There must be 60, 900 people
here who ought not to be here, men
and women who not only have no
useful work to do but interfere With
those who have.
Must be Limit Somewhere.
The outstanding need is for a re-
duction in personnel. In no other
way could as great a contribution
be made to efficiency. But instead
OF reducing, the personnel steadily
increases and the effort to reverse
the direction is always futile. A
short time ago Elmer Davis of the
Owl ordered a curtailment Of the
tremendous publicity output Of the
Government press agents.
For this Mr.. Davis merits praise.
So far as. known, it was the only
move to curtail anything since the
one made by Secretary Knox nearly
a year ago. But, while Mr.. Davis
eliminated 4 vast deal of useless
and absurd publicity handouts, he
has not been able to contract per-
sonnel.
There are just as many publicity
agents As before: the only differ
ence Is that they do less work. Ap.
parently Mr.. Davis has the author
1ty to curtail production but not
the producers.
That will never be done until the
order comes from the top-to wit,
from the President. Until and un.
less he grasps the fact that. the
swollen size Of his governmental
organization prevents It from work.
ing and takes the step to reduce.
no one else can do much about st.
and no one else really will try.
As things are now, every time a
new board or commission Is named, :
more jobs are created and the con-
fusion thickens. There must be 4

that 2.5oo,ooo civilian employees was
pretty close to it.

used the main features of the
Siegfried line to make the occu-
pied area of Russia impregnable.
Neighboring countries, such as
Rumania and Bulgaria, have been
stripped Of all available food, &C.
cording to reports from those
countries. After the fall Of
Sevastopol, transports loaded
with supplies conflscated from
these two Nazi allies were
shipped to Sevastopol and Ros-
tov, from whence they are said
to have been taken to the SOUTH
ern end Of the Eastwall.
Similar large transports of sup
plies and war material were
brought to the central portion Of
the fortified line from Poland.
Special arrangements have been
made to enable Nazi soldiers and
their puppet allies to withstand
the rigors Of the severe Russian
winter.
Purge in Nazi Staff.
The Na1 high command now
admits that it's forces suffered
tremendous casualties last winter
in Russia. The same reports
from usually reliable sources say
enough sheep have been killed in
North Africa and some sections
Of Europe to provide fur-lined
coats, hats and gloves for some
1000, 900 Nal soldiers. The Axis
apparently intends to use this
force along the Eastwau this
winter.
Although reports that Field
Marshal Fedor Won Book has
been removed from command
because Of his failure to break
the Russian power are the only
ones confirmed, it appears that
there has been q thorough purge
OF the entire staff and divisional
command in that theater of
operations.

Whether or not Stalingrad falls

in Nazi war plans. The German

steel metropolis Of the Soviet
Union is captured. its troops will
not be able to 60 much farther

to quarter them along q line
which extends roughly from Len

while making feints at Moscow

The feelings Of various we'll

now are Of the type which does not

can create alibis for themselves.
The Declaration Of Independ-
ence. with its decent respect for
the opinion Of mankind" draws
up a specific bill of accusations
against the oppressors Of the
American colonists.
A similar specific bill of ac-
cusations ought, it seems to me,
to be drawn up by the Office Of
War Information, and widely
publicized not only abroad but at
home. I would like to see posters
plastered over walls from one end
Of this Nation to another, listing
the crimes against which we are
fighting.
For we risk losing our ethical
sense, which is the basis of right
eous indignation, and it is not
clear in peoples minds, either
here or abroad, that there are Ger.
tain things allowable In the prac-
tices of civilized nations and un-
der international law, and there
are others that neither war nor
conquest condone legally or ethi-
cally.
Bill Of Particulars.
Such things are: The shooting
OF innocent hostages without SEM
blance of trial, or any presump-
ton, even, of personal guilt-a
pure instrument of terrorization.
Forced labor of prisoners of war,
outside prison camps, and espe-
cially for military purposes. There
Is an international obligation Civ
en- by all countries that prisoners
Of war must be fed rations equal
to those Of the armed forces of
the nation holding them prisoner.
This Is why the Nazi and jap
anese internees in this country
are so well fed-we are keeping
our obligations. The Germans are
treating different groups OF pris-
oners in different ways-British
prisoners, for instance, fairly well
because Britain holds German
prisoners and the Germans fear
reprisals.
Forcible drafting of civilians
from occupied countries for war
work in German factories. Abso-
lutely unheard of in the history
of modern nations.
Forcible induction of the women
of conquered countries into
brothels for the German Army.
There is documentary evidence to
prove this in Poland.
Systematic determination Of
populations by interference with
marriage laws, by shifting of
whole populations from one area
to another. by separating married
couples from each other and from
their children; by depriving them
OF medical aid. and by starvation.
Reprisals for individual deeds
carried out against whole villages.
determination of intellectuals
and maSsacres of students carried
through for the purpose Of re-
moving any potential leadership
for . future national life.
Enemy peoples should be pre-
sented with bill Of atrocities
and informed that unless they
devise means for disassociating
themselves from these crimes,
they will be held responsible, and
we should put our wits to work
trying to help them find such
means. We should say to the
German soldiers: Every victim
who survives by reason of your
help is a testimony for you. And
to the peoples of the occupied
countries: Prepare your dossiers
on the decent as well as on the
wicked. For the day of judgment
is at hand.
