 Swarms of German dive bombers mass raided Russian positions, but every attack was crushed. The wreckage of scores of tanks and thousands of bodies filtered the bat- tlefield, dispatches said.
 For three days, the Germans have been necessarily assailing the indus trial district, trying to drive down a broad boulevard that leads to the heart of Stalingrad. Only once, at the cost of dozens of tanks, they advanced and but a short distance. The Russians counter-attacked ana regained the ground.
 Meanwhile, the Russians tight ened their hold on recaptured streets and consolidated their positions.
 (Radio Berlin said the Russians were repeatedly attacking German "bolt" positions both north and south of Stalinggrad, where Ger man lines to the Volga are an- chored. The heaviest fighting was in the northern industrial sector of Stalingrad itself, the Nazis ac- knowledged, where the Russians held the ruins of tractor factory and contested the Germans inch by inch, radio Berlin said.)
 "Fierce fighting continued in the Stalingrad area" the Soviet noon communique said. Soviet artillery flung back enemy attacks and wiped out about a battalion of infantry (5OO mem, destroyed i've tanks, and silenced six artillery and 10 trench mortar batteries.
 ~Scvies g3Grdsmen disabled or burned eight tanks and wiped out 8 company (3O0 men) of infantry.
 "Northwest of Stalingrad (the theater of Timoshenko's counter ofTensive) a Soviet unit penetrated German positions, destroyed two dug-in tanks, eight guns and three machine gun nests and wiped out about 25O of the enemy. On an other sector, Soviet troops flung back an attack by . battalion ol German infantry"
 The nights were becoming in- creasingly cold on the barren steppes around Stalingrad, which will bs swept by some of the widest biiz- yards in Russia by the end of next month.

FERDY PLANS a PARTY
CHAPTER III

That evening Myra dropped
in TO see Ferdy Lorton on her
way home. 1t was a peculiar
friendship that drew the two
together, a friendship that owed
more to frankness than TO good
looks. Ferdy had an amused Gym
ical outlook towards the world
and knew everybody in town,
Myra had an outspoken blunt
ness and was thoroughly cap
able at everything she under
took. Ferdy was a confirmed
bachelor who seemed to be par
ticularly attractive TO attract
i've females, where as Myra was
more or less resigned to the fact
that her face was not her for
tune and that she was by ne
cessity career girl.
She found Ferdy alone buried
in a book.
"Hullo," he said, pleasure
registering un d er his casual
tone. Have a cocktail. You've

Demand for Copper
And Zinc Expands
Further in Week
ALLEGATIONS for March
Speed Deliveries of
Red Metal
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. March 7.-Demand
for non-ferrous metals rose again
during the past week, particularly
requests for copper and zinc, the
principal components of ammuni-
ton brass.
March copper allocations, made
early this month, speeded up de-
liveries of the red metal to manu-
facturers. The supply situation was
tighter, trade circles said, because
Government agencies were attempt
ing to build up stockpile to meet
any emergency.
Foreign lead ALLEGATION planning
occupied lead dealers. Releases were
expected shortly. Users meantime
have been supplied from the So
called free" portion of domestic
output not assigned to the IS per
cent emergency pool.
The March zinc emergency pool
was lifted to so per cent of high
grade and special high grade metal
as against 40 per cent for all grades
in previous months. The loW-grade
allotment was left at 40 per cent.
Trade members felt that the ever
expanding munitions works &C
counted for the increase in the pool
allotment of top-grade zinc.
Non-ferrous prices held un-
changed at ceiling levels: Copper,
II cents pound, Connecticut VAL
ley for domestic, 1134 cents a pound,
F A. S., New York, for export; lead,
$50 cents a pound, New York, and
635 cents, st. Louis; zinc, 825 cents
a pound, East st. Louis.
Steel ingot production, scheduled
for new high record, was helped
along, trade circles reported, by in
creased scrap supplies. While steel
concerns were unable to accumulate
stocks, better receipts resulted in
upward revision of output estimates.
Tending to complicate hopes for
a continuation of the present high
rate, however, was talk of a freight
car shortage.
There was little change in the
finished steel supply, which con-
tinued to go entirely to direct or
indirect war uses. This was despite
indications that new high record
of plate output might be reached
this month.

Engineers 10 Begin
Work on Emergency
2-Way Radio System
Enough Junk Turned in
At Fire Stutions to
Get Project Started

Enough radio "junk" has been
turned in at fire stations to permit
District engineers to start building
the emergency two-way radio sys-
tenn planned for use in case of air
raids, Communications Controller
Herbert Friede said yesterday.
Engineers will start dismantling
the old radios and radio parts
Wednesday night to make an in
ventory of the materials available,
Mr.. Friede said.
Since the extent of the emergency
system depends on the amount of
radio materials contributed, Mr..
Friede said, residents with old ra-
dios and particularly radio dealers
and suppliers who may have un-
used parts on their shelves should
continue to bring what they have
to fire stations.
George Bailey, president of the
American Radio Relay League and
aide to Mr. Friede, yesterday sent
letters to nine licensed radio oper-
ators asking if they would serve at
the control centers.
They will make list of the ma
terials they need to install the emer-
gency system at each control center
and will start the work with the
engineers. The facilities of McKin-
ley High School have been made

Asks letters 10 Ease
Tire Inspections
Letter to Rubber Chief
Urges Examinations
Be Cut to z q Year

Notifications in the national tire
inspection program. including a re-
duction in the number of inspec-
tions, were urged by the Keystone
Automobile Club in letter released
last night and addressed to Rubber
Director william M. Jeffers.
Meanwhile, District motorists
whose license tag numbers range
between 59,801 and 72,4OO yesterday
began going through the Districts
287 inspection stations. Also sched-
uled to have their tires examined
between yesterday and this Wednes-
day are owners of trucks and buses
with license numbers between
B4101 and B7000, and from CT to
C300; trailer owners with numbers
between JT1 and JT125 and from
XIII to KITS and motorcycle own
ers with tags between MC451 and
MC75O.
The recommendations of the Key
stone Club contemplated a reduc-
ton in the number of visits to tire
inspection stations now required
under OPA regulations.
Test Frequency Challenged.
Eve cannot believe" said ]. Max
we'll Smith, president of the club, in
his letter to Mr.. Jeffers, that the
Government seriously believes it is
necessary to examine the tires of
the many millions of "A" ration
book holders every 720 miles. which
is what will happen under the re-
duced mileage now allowed by rea-
son of the cut in value of "a" cou-
pons from to gallons of gasoline
TT is contrary to all practical ex-
perience that tire wear in this linn
tied mileage will be such as to re-
quire inspection every four months. y
Mr.. Smith also brought up the
question of manpower among ga
RACES and service stations acting as
tire inspectors, and expressed doubt
| that many of the employees now
designated as inspectors were COM
petent to discharge their duties.
Two Tests Annually Urged.
The Keystone Club suggested
that "A" book holders be required
to submit to only two inspections
annually and that motorists with
supplementary rations be made tt
report only as often as may bt
deemed necessary to protect theil
tires.
Instead of demanding inspection
every two months" the automobile
club leader told Mr. Jeffers, "a mort
equitable and economic plan woulc
be the issuance of certificates O.
worthiness for tires in good condi
tion, limiting the owners to two an
nual inspections, while requiring
more frequent examinations TO
tires which showed evidence Of ad
vanced wear"
It also was pointed out that tn,
charges set by the OPA for the in
spection of tires were loaded with
explosive possibilities Inspector
are permitted to charge Is cent
per passenger car they examine
unless they consider it necessary t.
remove the tires from the rims. II
