 Soviet snipers on the cold Lenin- grad front have killed 820 Germans and destroyed 28 strang points in three days, the noon communique said.
 This was the 75th day of the battle of stalingrad, which the defenders have held against almost impossible odds. Tomorrow is the 2Sth anni- versary of the Russian Revolution the Soviet's Fourth of July and the defenders wrote to Premier Joseph Stalingrad, pledging to de- fepd the city that was named after him to the last drop of our blood and our last breath"
 They told Staiin that at least 100000 Of tat enemy had been killed, 300 Of his tanks smashed and l,002 of his planes shot down in the last two months on the very approaches of Stalingrad.
 "The day is not far off" they wrote, when our Allies will open a second front which will not only be moral but real support for the de- lenders of Stallngrad. facilitate vic- tory and make 1t possible for the United Nations to drive Q nail into the doglike grave of bloody Fascism." :"

 Three field pieces,

 30 machine guns.
 The previous day the Americans captured 20 machine guns and two small artillery pieces. A week ago the destruction of l2 enemy tanks was announced and during minor operations on Oct, 20, two 75 nm, guns were seized by the marines.
 The number of enemy troops landed east of the airfleld was be- lieVed to have been small, It was interesting that during the same night the enemy were sneaking ashore at Koli Point American naval vessels, presumably destroyers, were almost within sight of the boats that were landing the enemy,
 There was no information yet about the extent of ground gained in the western part of the island by marines and soldiers, but prog ress was expected to be slow be- cause of the dense jungle and the nature of the terrain which is rug ged and heavily wooded,
 The Japanese apparently are put ting up a stiff battle as they re. treat, Their losseS--in men and equipment indicated that they were fighting strong rear guard action. There was TO information yet indicating that the enemy was retreating other than in an orderly fashion and 1t was believed that the captured e, 'pment represented that of units which had been com pletely wiped out in their last ditch stand against the Americans.

Lieut.. Gen. Bernard Montgomery
Commander of British Eighth Army in Egypt
 Prefers to Do Things the Hard Way

mard of the Third Division in Eng. land.
 This was the division which he commanded with great distinction throughout the operations in France during the first nine months of the war, until the withdrawal from Dun- kirk where he again played a prom inent part and did all he could to see his troops off the beach with true Montgomery thoroughness.
 In December i94i, he was ape pointed General Officer Command Ing in Chief Of the South Eastern Command, This command was one of the most important in Britain, for 1t was the one which would almost certainly have had to bear the brunt of any German invasion. Soon after his appointment, he had visited all the defenses in the area and addressed all the officers, not neglecting the Home Guard.
 He ordered quarter of an hours physical training at 2 Q. m. daily for all headquarters officers and clerks under 10, while all ranks up to Brigadier had to run six miles one a week over e course appointed by the General who frequently covered 1t himself.
 His thoroughness was apparent to those who watched him with his Spartan Army, with which he car- ried our manneuvers under battle conditions in DevonsAire in June, l942,
 In them, he subjected his troops to the same ordeal that they would have to face In desert fighting - no food or drink could be bought in the villages, and tho infantry moved everywhere atoot, on iron rations only.
 This is the man who once de- clared that the one great essential of the soldier was that "every man should have the light Of battle In his eye" It is safe to assume that every man in the Eighth Army has the light of battle in his eye today.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-11-06

London, November 6 --- (By Cable) Thoroughness and ruthless effi- ciency are the keynotes in the char acter of Lieutenant General Ber- nard Law Montgomery, the com mander of the British Eighth Army,
 A teetotaler ard a non-smoker, he has led an austere and Spartan life and has demanded the highest possible degree of mental and phy- sical alertness in his men.
 There is only one standard Of fitness --- the standard of total war" he said on one occasion, and troops under his command have always been trained in as much of an at- mosphero of total war as Montgom- cry could devise.
 He had been in Egypt just three weeks when he stopped Rommers spectacular advance towards Alex andria. The Eighth Army soon realized that he had no intention of exercising his command from a desk. Whenever possible he was out with his men in the field, dressed in shorts and shirt with revolver strapped to his waist and wearing an Australian slouch hat in place of the Generals cap with Its cr.m- son band ard gold braid.
 He had B years of Army experi- ence behind him when he first faced Rommel,
 He entered the service as an in- fantry officer in 1908 and fought in the first World War, in which he was wounded twice, mentioned In dispatches six times ard won the DS.O. and the Croix de Guerre.
 In 1891 he was given command Of his regiment. the First Battalion of the Royal Warwickshires, and In 1887 became an instructor to the Staff College at Quetta ;n India. After that, in succession, he was posted to the command of the Ninth Infantry Brigade at Portsmouth, was sent to Palestine and Trans Jordan - where he was in command of Division and was again men. toned in dispatches and was, from there, transferred to the com

 Stalin praised the morale of Che nation and said that "our people are more disciplined and have learned to work on Q military basis, supplying the defenders Cs the country"
 Russia's successes lest wintsr. hs said, showed that the German eR- ganization can be disrupted under circumstances favorable for the Red Army"
 Despite great dificulties, he said that the condition of Soviet indus try had been improved through transfer of factories to the east 60 that 1t was still able to supply the Red Army with guns. planes and tanks.
 "There has been radical improve ment in our industry" he said.
 Stalin said the Germans had ex- pected to reach Kuibyshev August l5 and Arsamask by Sept. 10. Baku was put down for capture Sept. 2e. he asserted.
 "This confirms" he said, "that the main objective was Moscow and that the objective of the advance to the south was to weaken the Moscow front and thus attempt to end the war by forcing the Red Army to capitulate,"

 Henry J. Kaiser, west coast ship. builder extraordinary, meanwhile recommended before Senate edu- cation and labor subcommittee that 6 new overall nine-man federal agency be created to handle through voluntary methods all the nations manpower problem, Kaiser asked abolition of the present selective ser- vice system and the war manpower commission. He supported the plan to end voluntary enlistments,
 Nelson said that there is mo question but that the winning of this war will strain to the limit every resource of this nation." He said the nation should not "dilly daily" any longer and that sooner or later 1t will be necessary for congress to pass legislation on man. power similar to the power giving the government authority to take over property and issue compulsory priorities,
 Tn my personal opinion" Nelson said, you are better off with an act of congress defining what the (manpower) standards are than to leave 1t to administrative fiat.
 "The people of this country will do anything to win the war If. first, they believe 1t necessary and, sec ond, if everybody Is sharing alike"
 Sen. Lister Hill, D., Ala, asked whether legislation would not as- sure equality among the people in the sacrifices necessary in the war effort. Nelson agreed.
 Tt isn't necessary" Nelson added, that the law Do administered in an autocratic way"
 He said the WIPE had sought to administer its power over materials in 6 democratic way and that ss or 90 per cent of the time 1t has not had to use its seizure authority.
 Sen. Warren R. Austin, R., Vt, author of a pending bill to adminis- ter manpower allocation through local draft boards, asked Nelson what he thought of the principle. Nelson replied that he believed in letting c mans neighbors make the decisions in matters of this kind. and pointed out that this was the pattern followed in rationing pro. grams.
 Communities are better satisfied with such decisions after they are made" Nelson said. Local boards are stricter and more severe than government agencies"
 Kaiser emphasized that he was strongly oppoSed to any freezing" of American labor. He explained that he favored retention of the se- lective service system aims and policies of drafting for the armed forces, and he urged that it's duties be continued by tse recommended new agency.

BLANCHARD LAUDS
 GRAHAM FOR WORK
Community Chest Cam- paign in Waterbury Is
 Termed Remarkable

The recent Community Chest campaign here, the first in local history, was "a remarkable victory" said Ralph Blanchard, adminlstra- tive director, Community Chests and Councils, Inc, in a letter today to Edward F. Graham, executive secretary of the Community Chest of Waterbury, Inc.
 The local drive went $52,497 over It's quota of $277,Ss6. Tn addition, the sum of $83, POI was gathered for the War Chest, making Q grand total of $4lS,0S4.
 MT. Blanchard, director of the na. tional Community Chest organiya- ton, declared that the achievement here will "go down in campaign his- tory" Not only was the sum pledged far over the quota, he said, but 1t must be remembered that the Com. munity Chest was organized here until Q scant few months ago.
 Waterbury, said Mir. Blanchard, 'has set e record for many cities"
 Said Mir. Blanchard in his letter to MT. Graham:
 November 5, lo42, MT. E. ?, Graham,
 Community Chest of Waterbury, Inc. 5i Church Street,
 Waterbury, Connecticut,
 Dear Ed: I want to express our feelings over the remarkable victory you and your leaders have achieved in more concrete fashion than my telephone conversation with you day before yesterday.
 Under ordinary circumstances the campaign of the Community Chest of Waterbury would consti- ute an outstanding record but when we consider that actual organiza- ton of the Chest did not begin un- til August ist, wc are more i'm. pressed than ever, and shall see to 1t that your achievement goes down in campaign history.
 When VIC worked out our agree- ment with the war relief committees of the CIo and AT of L this past summer. we were aware that the implications in the chest field would be far-reaching, but the tangible re- suits such as you achieved in Wa terbury go far beyond our original comprehension. Not only have you set a generous standard of giving, and standard of cooperation by management and CIO organizations in your industrial plants for your own city. but you have set e record for many cities.
 For many years we have felt that Waterbury, for its own interests, should have Q community chest, and now that 1t has been initially launched on a wave of spectacular success, VIC are as pleased as can Do, and wish for you and your leaders continuing success.
 Sincerely yours,
 RALPH BLANCHARD,
 Administrative Director.

 Schultz. Maybe he'll be shot. don't care who they shoot in Germany" Menjou will recall to Emil Jan- nings that when the German actor was making his fortune In the Uni-
 ted States there was always plenty Of soap.
 "Ill tell him there's plenty of
 soap here now" he continued "1'll ask him if he doesn't want some. I'll ask him if he smells as bad as other Germans. I can make those Ger mans dream about soap and make
 their mouths water for the butter and eggs they can have when peace comes."
 The Pittsburgh-born Menjou speaks German with . French ac- cent but he says the Germans won't mind. His father was a French inn-
 keeper who came to the United States and married an Irish girl. He speaks French very well and does a good job in Spanish, Italian and Russian.
 But I'm going to talk in Turkish, too. though l won't know what I'm saying" he said. "The OWI will write 1t out phonetically and 1t won't be any trouble at all. I'll draw the line at Arabic.
