 Stalin, in an order of the day on the 25th anniversary of the Rus sian revolution, told the Red army that 1t had put 5000 ,000 of the So. viet's enemies out of action. 'The enemy's strength already is undermined and approaching the limit" he said. During the war, the Red army has put out of action over S,000,000 enemy officers and men. Now the Hitlerite army Is diluted by Rumanians, Hungarians, Films and Italians. It's consider ably weaker than in summer and autumn of last year,
 Comrades! The enemy once al- ready has experienced the force of Red army blows at Rostov, Moscow and Tikhvin, The day is not far off when the enemy again will learn the force of new blows by the Red army and the tables will be turned"
 A few hours before Stalin'S order of the day was released, the Soviet midnight communique reported that the Germans attacked in northern Stalingrad yesterday with large forces of tanks, infantry and planes.
 The defenders, in their 76th day of siege today, killed 1000 Ger mans, destroyed II tanks and 20 trucks and demolished a great number" of pillboXes. The Germans fell back to their original positions

 The raids were timed to strike q telling blow at Italian morale on the home front while Benito Mus solini's armies, left in the lurch by their German allies, were being sys- tematically annihilated or captured on the Egyptian front.
 It was recalled that when Gen Sir Archibald P. Wavell drove the Italians back to Benghazi in i940r he said that Italy had been on the verge of quitting the war. Gen. SIT Harold R. L. G. Alexander and Lieut.. Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery now have the Italians on the run in the western desert again, and observers believed the time might be opportune for crushing the Italian home front to such an extent they might quit their Axis partners com- pletely.
 Tn the raids on Genoa and Milan, Oct. 22. 23 and 24. RAP activities were part of a definite pattern de- signed to restrict supplies to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Axis North African armies. The big British Lan- caster bombers dropped tons of ex- plosives on Genoa, the chief port of embarkation for Rommel's rein foreements.
 Observers here believed that those raids contributed largely to the ef- fectiveneSs of the British eighth army's victory in Egypt.
 In the October raids, the RAF bombers ranged over Sayona and Turin. as well as Genoa and Milan. causing widespread damage. Hun dredg were reported killed when 6 Genoa crowd became panic-stricken at entrance of an afr raid shelter.

 In the great battle which drove a double breach into enemy armor around Tel Fl Aoaqulr, l saw SAer" mans spread out like pawns on chess board, pounding enemy tanks which were punched on the horizon and moving in and out of clouds of white smoke,
 After this battle, the crew of Q Sherman said they had received two hits by armor piercing shells from Q German Mark w one on the turret and another on the front - and had not been damaged,
 "Yes, our new tank is @ wonder" 1" Sergeant Donald Egremont, Q fresh- faced English country lad, said. We got third hit on the track. Look at it,"
 He pointed to dented steel sprocket,
 "He even hit the track" Egre- mont, who commanded the tank, continued, and didn't stop us from fighting. We continued to hammer the enemy for an hour and half, and got several targets, amongst them an enemy transport serving Panzer divisions, It blew up in black smoke and flames,

City Employees Buying Power Great, Says Assn

drop from the high l940 level (the highest level since l925), sal ary increases of 20 per cent were requested. The logic of the city administration's action in refusing such increases in 1940 is sub stantiated by the fact that In that year and even to the present date, although buying power has con- tInued to dScline from l94l, the city employe still has greater buy ing power than he had in 1850 or in any of the five pre-depression years.
 s, If salary adjustments, both increases and decreases, equiva- lent to the change in the cost of living, had been enforced during the past fifteen years, substantial benefit therefrom would have ac- crued to the city and the buying power of municipal employees would have been maintained on an even keel. Under such an arrange ment, both the city and the city employe stand to benefit.
 The st. Paul Plan Of Salary
 Increases
 In one outstanding instance, that of St. Paul, Minnesota, a plan oi correlating salaries of municipal em- ployes with the cost of living has been successfully employed. The plan, adopted in 1916, has come t6 be known as The St. Paul Plan,' and has since been adopted by sev- eral other cities. It has been highly satisfactory in that city, due il part to its expert supervision by { highly trained personalist. Under it wages of lower -salaried employe' vary directly as does the cost of liv' ing index of June of each year. Fol higher salaried employees. salary changes vary inversely as the ein' ploye's salary increases. so that fol employees receiving $500 per montf the salary change is only about l. of the cost of living change. Elm ployes above $305 per month receive no salary increases because of cos of living changes. Through the op erations of this plan, the City of St Paul has been able to make larg' savings due to the fact that equis' able compensation rates are main tained. and during the depression years, employees of that city wer' given substantial salary reduction corresponding with the cost Of hvinl drop.

ther Italian units-the Trieste, Bologna and Favia divisions--had been hopelessly trapped and were surrendering by the hundreds,
 Three British armored divisions slashed at the Hanks of the disor- dered Axis retreat and artillery and air units maintained a ceaseless pounding. The only cohesion of the Afrika Korps appeared to be in the Matruh area, where some remnants were fighting back to some degree but their prospects of escape less ened by the hour.
 May Be Cut Off
 Observers here said there was no indication that British forces had gotten behind the tieeting Axis forces to cut off their retreat, but added that such feat appeared im- minent,
 While the Allied land and air forces battered the enemy back across the desert, heavy bombers swept far ahead of the advancing columns and bombed Beghal and Tobruk, Axis supply ports in Libya in daylight yesterday.
 The communique said hits were made on a tanker at BenghaN and e merchant vessels at Tobruk. Thus the Allied pilots maintained their effective blockade of Rommels sup ply lines, cutting of his materials at a time when he was pinched for gasoline and ammunition.
 There was no enemy air activity reported yesterday, the communique said. Two Allied planes were lost in yesterdays operations, 1t said. but three pilots previously reported missing were. found to be safe.
 A large Italian aircraft of uniden- tified type was shot down in the Mediterranean north of Malta dur ing Thursday night, the official an- nouncement added,
