BY HENRY SHAPIRO Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

~~~@--
 Moscow, September 30. - (UP) - Front dispatches characterized the Stalingrad situation as ''unabatingly grave" today but revealed that Soviet attacks on the east bank of the Don north west of the city, are penning large Nazi forces within the Don loop, while the Caucasus front situation was said to show significant improvement"
 The persistent Russian attacks along the Don rivers eastern bank were aimed at cutting off and en- circIing the Nazi forces in the imme- diate Stalingrad battle zone.
 Soviet dispatches said that this northwestern diversionary offensive was making progress and that several strong Nazi positions had been captured, mailing down an in- creasingly large German force within the Don loop and. taking g heavy toll of German and equip- ment
 Within Stalingrad, proper, how ever, the sitution was described as less favorable due to powerful Nazl attacks, aimed at the capture of an important hill in the north- wetern outskirts.
 Tn the west and east Caucasus front, Russian dispatches said, significant improvement" had oc- cured. Soviet troops were said to have checked German advances toward Batum and GroZny. The weather was said to be deteriora- ting rapidly and the Germans were believed to be in danger of bog ging down.
 The hill which the Nazis were attacking in Stalingrad was des- cribed as 8 highly strategic ob- jective.

vichy, Sept. 30 - CUP) The United States embassy appealed to the Swiss government today to ob- tain the names of approximately 1 400 Americans rounded up in oc- cupied France by German authori- ties since last week and interned. The embassy, it was explained, is depending upon the Swiss for tn- formation because that nation has taken charge of American interests in Paris and the occupied zone. United States officials said that the first information on the subject may be sent directly to the Swiss lega- tion at Washington.
 It was learned here that the first group of American women arrested In Paris was moved yesterday to Vit- tel, where they were interned within a barbed-wire compound where more than 1900 British women have been detained since December, 1040.
 Some of 1000 American men held at Saint Denis for classification also have joined the first lot of 300 American internees at Complegne. A few others have been liberated and permitted to return to their Paris homes because their status was judged satisfactory by oestapo practitioners.

PLEA FOR SMALL
 BUSINESS MADE
Donald Nelson Urges COn= gresS to Assure It Place
 After War
BY ARTHUR F. DEGREvE IInifad Press Staff GnrreSreIndanf

United Press Staff COrreSpendent)
 Washington, Sept. 30-(UP)-War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson, warning that small busi- ness casualties will increase during the war, today urged Congress to set up machinery for assuring little enterprises a place in postwar economy.
 He also demanded that neither Congress nor administrative agen- cies take action which would freeze into non productive state any of the elements of productive capacity = management, materials, labor ma chinery, building or land.
 Testifying before the special Sem ate committee studying wartime problems of little business, Nelson said concentration of industry was inevitable as the country moves to- ward a 100 per cent war economy. Little business, he said, will suffer as civilian production and civilian economy are cut to the bone.
 He recommended immediate crea- ton of a war liabilities adjustment board charged with facilitating the use of all productive facilities and at the same time seeing to it that the little business man does mol become total war casualty.
 He asked the committee to con- slider mechanism to:
 I. Help small business enter prises adversely affected by the war to take care in an orderly fashion of overhanging liabilities which they would have been able to discharge under normal condi- tions. WIPE officials said this might take the form of 6 morator- ium on fixed charges.
 2. Provide effective means for financing small business after the war.

 Some aspect of this complex political stress appears in the death of Yves Perringaux, Chief Secre- tary to Interior Minister Pierre Pucheu, one of the staunchest Vichy collaborationists. Perringeaux's bat tered body was found along a rail- road track in occupied France.
 With the Russian offensive in full swing. against the entire Ger man front, the Films may have concluded that it is better to strike a bargain with Russia before the full force of the Russian drive hits them.
 Russian Drive
 The Russian power drive is re- ported officially to have carried the Red Army forces through Belev 100 miles west of the German high water mark on the flank of the Moscow arc. The Belev drive par allels the pincer movement farther north in which Brovsk has fallen which heightens the threat of the entrapment of the Germans at Mozhaisk, west of Moscow.

 The hair oil came from whales, and seamen found the best whales for that purpose in Macassar Strait.
 American women developed the anti-mascassar lget it?), little pieces of lace, embroidery or colored cloth to protect their home furnishings
 Early in the goth century anti maseassars lost popularity when Ma cassar oil went out, and didn't make a come back until hair styles began demanding oil again a few years ago.
