RUSSIANS WANT
End FRONT NOW


Although Stalin's meeting with
Churchill and President Roosevelt's
representative, w. Averell Harri
man, was perfectly cordial, 1t is be
lieved that the United States and
Britain then told the Russian sc
fatty that they were not prepared
for opening an immediate front
that the Russians were disappoint
ed, particularly in view Of the in
creasing difficulties at Stalingrad.
Ivan Maisky, the Russian ambas
sador in London, is understood tt
have communicated this feeling o1
disappointment to Harry Hopkins
when the latter was in Londor
recently. The Russians also were
said to be disappointed that the
United States, owing to- convoy
troubles and exigencies of the wal
elsewhere, has been unabl to fulfil
hr commitments in war supplies.
The Russians are grateful fol
United States and British bombing
raids on Germany which were re
ported to be having an increasingly
important effect on the German
people and industry, but which they
think are not yet enough in view
of the seriousness of Russia's situa
ton.
The Russians were said to take
the view that the Dieppe raid
which they heartily approved, had
established that landing on the con
tinent was feasible. They are sale
to have made it plain that the
Russians intend to fight on regard
less of what happens, but they wan
action that will draw forty or fifty
German divisions off the Russian
front and they want 1t now.
They are understood to feel thai
it still is not too late for an eff
ficacious second front this year.

These and hundred other ques-

Messing her second war through
the eyes of travellers.
She began her career with the
Travellers Aid % years ago at
Greensboro, and during the hectic
days of World War I she did her
part i'm a railroad station at Nor
folk, Va.
This war is not so different from
the last, Miss Yopp asserts. An
other generation of young men are
doing the fighting now but their
problems are not so different from
those of their fathers back in 1917,
she reminisces.
| At her desk at o'clock every
morning. she does not work an
eight hour day but often times is
on duty until after midnight.
The service that she performs Is
varied. During the month of Aug

sweetheart, to sending man strick-

Besides the constant stream of
questions which must be answered
all day long, Miss Yopp is called on
to arrange for meeting strangers
arriving on the train and to safe
guard children who are taveling
alone for long distances. AS many
as 65 rooms were located in one
day by Miss Yopp for persons ar
irving without place to spend the

This September 4 raid had pre-

Of operations.
The Navy's communaque gave
this account of results in the Sep.

Two mine sweepers were sunk.
Three large cargo ships were
damaged by bombs.
Three submarines and several
small craft were damaged by
bombs and nachine-gun fire.
Storehouses and supply dumps
in the camp area were set afire

-Four Zero fighters and one small
plane were shot down.
One large patrol plane was de.
stroyed on the water.
An estimated 500 troops were
either killed or wounded.
This was the Navy's first COM

the Aleutians, where the Japs
gained a foothold in early June,

aged in the Aleutians since they
first moved in. For their losses
they have maintained their foot
hold on Kiska and the islands of
Attu and Agattu but have not in
recent weeks expanded their posi-
tions or moved any nearer the
North American continent.
This was the ninth communique
issued by Admiral Nimitz, who
commands the Pacific Ocean area,
since the war began.
His last previous communique on
the Aleutians reported an attack
by an American Navy task force
on August 8.
The Japanese landed in the Aleu-
tians early in June, coincident with
their move to invade the Hawaiian
Islands, which crumpled with the
battle of Midway Island into d
major Japanese disaster.
While official statements have
indicated that some 10000 Japa-
nese had landed in the Aleutians,
nothing has been reported since
their air attack on Dutch Harbor
in June to indicate that they hae!
ventured any attack in the direc-
ton of Alaska from their Aleutian
toehold.
A naval interview, granted here
several weeks ago, told of difficult
terrain and storm conditions in the
Aleutians area and pointed out that
any attempt to build air fields on
Kisko or Attu would require dyna-
miting and would be a tremendous
task.
There have been no reports. to

MANPOWER issue
VERY PUzzLINC

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Who
is going to have first call on the
manpower of the country, the
army and navy or the War Pro-
duction Board?
That is the question flared up
here today and to which no de-
cisive answer has yet been forth
coming. 1t is said to be causing
the President some uneasiness,
but no comment has yet come
from him, yet he will be the one
who, finally, will be called on
to make the decision.
1t is not an easy question, ex-
perts pointed out today. The
War Production Board has its
quota of war implements to turn
out, and the only way that can
be done is if the board has a suf-
ficient number of men with
which to do it. On the other
side of the picture are the navy
and the army that have enemies
to beat, and the only way that
can be done is if the army and
the navy have the men with
which to do the beating.

FIGHTING ON new
GUINEA NOW FIERCE
REPORTED THAT JAPS NOW
HAVE BACKS TO WALL
AT BUNA
tBy Associated Press,

DARWIN, Nov. 25.-Fiighting
on New Guinea is reported today
to be fiercer than at any other
time since, six weeks ago, the
Australians began to force back
the Japs who had gone down
the southern slope of the Owen
Stanley Mountains to within "a
miles of the Allied base at Port
Moresby.
The reason for the intensified
fighting, the report said, is be-
cause the Japs now have their
backs to the wall at Buna, their
base on the northeast tip of New
Guinea. The 15-mile stretch from
Buna to Coma is said to have
been pulverized by American
bombing planes 1t is in that
area that the fiercest fighting is
occurring, with the Americans
advancing slowly from the south
east and the Australians from
the west.
The plight in which the Japs
find themselves is that they
have one of three things they
can do: fight till they die, sur
render, or be driven into the
sea.

tBy Associated Pressl

LONDON. Nov. 25.-The Axis
forces in Tunis and Bizerte are
said today to be using furiously
every implement of war in their
possession-tanks, planes, artil-
lery,-in trying to beat back the
attacks that the British and Am
orleans have launched to capture
those two key places in Tunisia.
Despite the stiffened opposition,
the Allied armies are reported to
be rolling on" toward their OBJ
jectives, Tunis, the capital city,
and Bizerte, the largest and best
equipped naval base in North
Africa. The American forces are
reported today to be only "a miles
from Bizerte, while the British
are two miles nearer Tunis.
There is no doubt entertained
here that the Axis are determined
to fight to the finish, and official
circles here were inclined to be-

attempt to hold Tunis and Bizerte,
