Boston, Nov. 3.--fUP)--Regional OPA Administrator Kenneth B. Backman said today that New Eng lands various markets will receive essential supplies of milk but that in some eases prices may be raised.
 "No local market in New Eng land is going to be without essential supplies of fluid milk" he said. Tn unusual cases where price dif- ferentIals are so large as to raise serious local supply problems, OPA may be justified in authorizing small retail price increases
 Backman said that high cream price relationships. Tn some eases, he said, this has resulted in diver. sion of milk from one area to an- other. But in general milk prodrc- CTS after becoming thoroughly fa- millar with the situation have "loy- slly withdrawn their requests for higher prices and continued at some immediate disadvantage to them selves to supply their usual mark cts"
 However, Backman said he ex- pected no general price increase in retail milk for New England and de- nied that there was currently an aper-all shortage.

make Fritz pay and make him pay
more dearly than ever before. The
Germans will not be left quietly
hugging their dugout fires through
out this winter-that is one Ger
tainty.
Here on the Rzhev front, wherever
the Germans have counterattacked
in the last two months, they have
bombed first and thrown in tanks
ahead of their infantry. Even so,
they have lost ground steadily.
They have recaptured no important
salient and held it. Hereafter, their
tanks and planes will operate with
increasing difficulty and the Rus
slams trained ski troops will be &C
tive soon in every sector-and the
Soviets' Siberian dog-sled teams as
we'll. 1t looks as if Fritz has plenty
OF reason to dread these coming
months of winter combat.
In the battle for Rzhev, the Ger
mans tactics have conformed with
those they have employed on every
Russian front. According to Red
Army officials, the Germans invari-
ably try to pile up overwhelming
strength in a narrow sector wherever
they attack.
Nazis Use Shifting Attack.
One Russian general explained:
THE NaziS never attack here twice
in the same place. AS soon as they
meet stiff resistance they strike in
another place. They are always try
ing to feel out a weak spot and wnen
they can't find one they wait until
they get more reserves; then they
start the process all over again.
The Germans have shown them
selves strong on defense because they
specialize in heavy fortifying every
town or key position like Rzhev; and
their defense construction troops are
unquestionably experts at their jobs
Although the German artillery is
universally described as poor, the
Russians say that the Nazis use their
heavy mortars with real skill. AS for
German tanks, Russian tanks seem
to take their measure wherever there
is anything approaching equality in
combat conditions.
I asked Col. Shafranov, COM
mander of a Russian front-line unit:
Which do you think it is most
important to have - superiority in
airplanes or superiority in tanks?"
The colonel's answer sounded so
convincing, I couldn't help hoping
that the United States production
of improved tanks might soon be as
high as the American production of
war planes
Tanks Importance Stressed.
This is what the colonel said:
"Of course it would be ideal to
