troops moving southwestward from
Belaya Glins.
One infantry formation at Kush-
chevka was credited in the mid
day bulletin with destroying six
German tanks and much equipment
and killing about $50 Germans.
Three thousand in all we're reported
wiped out in engagements in this
sector.
Fighting was likewise fierce in the
Kletskaya sector, 80 miles northwest
Of Stalingrad with the Germans at
tacking repeatedly in an effort to
bridge the Don, but the trend of the
fighting was not indicated. Earlier
the Russians had reported a setback
here.
(Reuters said today that the
Vichy radio broadcast a dispatch
that German advance forces in
the Caucasus had penetrated to
within 13 miles of Armavir on the
'RoStov- -Baku Oil pipe and rail line
20 miles west of Voroshilovsk.
(The broadcast also said the
Germans were within SO miles of
Krasnodar, whose capture would
place the invaders lin position
TO start drive on the Maikop
oil field"
(Krasnodar is on spur of the
Rostov-Bak oil line slightly
more than 100 miles east of
Armavir)
In almost all the important south
ern sectors. the Germans were re-
ported making some progress against
furious Russian resistance which
took a heavy toll in German man
power and machines. From Kletskaya
to Kushchevka the front was alive
with tanks, planes and tired fighting
men on the move.
Nazis Aim at Tikhoretsk.
The German drive to Belaya Glina
developed after the Russians had
been forced to withdraw from Salsk,
40 miles to the northwest. The Ger
man push was aimed directly at
Tikhoretsk
(The German high command
claimed Yesterday that Vor-
oshilovsk. 90 miles southeast OF
Belaya Gina, was in German
hands,
Tikhoretsk is the junction OF the
Rostov-Baku railroad and the line
running from the Black Sea to
Stalingrad. 1t is only 80 miles north
of Maikop, the oil center in the
foothills of the Caucasus Mountains
which supplies per cent OF Russia S
oil
The most serious element in the
German advance toward Tikhoretsk
is the threat to the body OF Russian
troops fighting in the Kushchevka
area to the north. But the stubborn
defense of Kushchevka seemed to
indicate the Russians were planning
to defend a north-south line extend
ing roughly along the Rostov-Baku
railway from the Sea OF Azov
through Kushchevka and Tlkhoretsk
end anchored in the south to the
Caucasus Mountains.

by Joe Marsh

The beer people urge proprietors
of retail places to conduct them
properly and to obey the law. They
urge consumers to cooperate, and
ask the public generally to report
law violations to the authorities.
They send warnings to careless re-
tailers and if conditions are not
corrected they take the case up
with the authoriticc. Naturally the
authorities and the public have well
coined this as an added force in
building respect for law and order.
That program is now operating
in many states and with the Ma
ton at war, brewing industry or
CARNATIONS cooperate with civil
and military authorities to assure
good conditions in beer outlets
around the army camps and naval
stations.
Somehow, to me, that's mighty
important, philosophical effort.
| don't know of anything like it
ever having been tried before. If
people really help the brewers
with that program they'll be doing
a great thing for the country.

State. | like Nebraska. l like those

But the thing that interests me
most about Nebraska right now is
the very important social expert
ment the beer people started there
several years ago.
Beer itself is naturally a bever-
age of moderation. Yet, all too
often, people are inclined to blame
beer wrongly for any misconduct
of the customer or the proprietor
in a place licensed to sell beer.
SO, the brewers got together to
see what they could do about this.
They weren't really responsible for
their retailers in fact, they're
not allowed to control retailers.
But the brewing industry worked
out a plan by which it cooperates
with the public authorities to elm
mate bad conditions in the minor
ity of places whose conduct would
reflect on the law-abiding majority.
