NAzIS LOSE VITAL HILLAT
 STALINGRAD
Two-ddy Battle Gives Ydz- hndyd Hill Back 10
 Defenders

MOSCOW, Dec. 2.-Stalingrad's defenders, rolling back Nazi weak ening siege lines, have recaptured Yazhnaya Hill, dominating the southern side of the Volga city and have pushed out from two to five miles further from Stalingrad.
 The Russ Army newspaper, Red Star, reported that an enemy divi- sion defending the hill was defeated in two-day battle This gain further undermined the German siege of Stalingrad which was be- gun just 100 days ago.
 The news of the victory on Yazh- maya Hill came as the Nazi com mand reported pulling some of the besiegers back to meet the threat of the Red Army offensives driving successfully west of Stalingrad on the Central Front.
 New Soviet air activity was noted in the latest drive. Yazhnaya Hill is one of the famous pair which over- looks the city from the banks of the Voiga. Kurgan Hill, to the north, was recaptured previously by the crack guard troops of Maj. Gen. Rodintzev.
 Seven attacks have been made recently by the Nazis, using as many as TO tanks and two regi- ments of infantry in desperate struggles to regain the lost position Red Star added.

Dimond Backs Senate Probe Into AIaska5
 Censorship Headaehe

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. - Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today he positively agreed with the private testimony given by Gov. Ernest Gruening on the abuse of censorship in handling of private communications to and from the Territory of Alaska" as given at a closed session of the. Senate Judi ciary Committee.
 Gov. Gruening charged unneces- sary abuse of the censorship by the Seattle censorship staff and his protests brought out the infor- nation that the operation of war time censorship will be investigated by the Senate Committee.
 Others Interested
 Delegate Dimond said Gov, Gruening presented many examples of censoring private communica- tions to the Senate Committee and said excerpts taken from commit nications had been forwarded to certain Government, officials who were believed interested in them
 Delegate Dimond said the Gov ernor's information is in direct line with information he has on hand and the Delegate asked the com mittee for permission to appear be- fore it next week as witness The Delegate said not only private com munications have been unnecessar- fly scrambled by the censors but regular press or feature correSpon- dents in the Territory have had their material held up for weeks, and then perhaps never released while travelling correspondents have packed" magazines and also news papers with stories upon their re- turn to the States with articles which Alaska correspondents were told had been rejected
 Much Delay
 
 The Delegate also said he has been informed that censors in AL aska have held up press dispatches from the States needlessly delayed after these dispatches have been censored in Washington or other news centers, then again censored n Seattle The Delegate said it is case of too many cooks spelling the broth" and exactly too many censors and sooner or later a great expose of censorship is to be made by Alaskan correspondents.
 Byron Brice, Censorship Director is also to be called before the Sen ate Judiciary Committee Price said he will welcome the. opportunity to inform the committee of many things censorship has accomplished in the war effort"

 Secretary of War Stimson then came on the phone. Willkie and Stimson have known each other in New York Republican politics and known each other well MT Stim- son, however, was stiff and formal. He said:
 This is the Secretary of War speaking. I understand you are going to make an address tonight. It is my duty to tell you that if you make that address you will seriously interfere with the opera ton of the armed forces of the United States in North Africa, and endanger the lives of thousands of American soldiers"
 Have you read the speech?" ask ed Willkie.
 No" replied Stimson, but I have had it called to my attention.
 Willkie then read him the para graph of his speech which referred to North Africa and criticized Ad- miral Darlan, as follows: Shall we in America be quiet. for instance, when our leaders, after promising freedom to the French people, put into control over them the very man who has helped to enslave them?

SECURITY. George Wolfe, one of our
cartoonists, was in the other day and told
US something of the inside story Of his
cartoons. Most comic artists think up
their own ideas, do the drawings and write
the captions under them. But occasionally
they'll accept cartoon ideas from outsid-
ers who are known as gag g-men. Payment
to the gagsters is generally Is per cent
of magazines payment for the complete
cartoon.
George said that he'd already lost two
of his gag-men - one to the Army. one
to the Navy. But he's not worried about
losing his four best ones - they're all
serving time at Folsom Prison, California.
Two of them are there permanently, un-
less Providence or parole intervenes.
