Germon Air Activity
Over StoIingrod Reduced
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY

Associated Press War Correspondent.
MOSCOW, Nov. IA sharp re-
duction in German air activity over
the Stalingrad front was reported
today in Soviet military dispatches
which noted that the Nazis were
using outdated planes and dropping
only small bombs. (This might in
dictate a shifting of first line air
units to other fronts, perhaps South
ern EuropeD
During the last "a hours, barely
200 flights over the lines were OBJ
served, the newspaper Pravda said,
by comparison with a previous daily
average of 1900 to 1000 daily.
The German raids were aimed at
Russian communication lines. Dam
age inflicted on towns and villages
on the east bank of the Volga was
small, and no deaths were caused,
the dispatches said.
Winter Tightens Grip.
German garrisons, clinging to pre-
carious footholds on the outskirts of
Stallngrad, were reported placing
metal nets over the windows of &C.
cupied houses for protection against
Russian hand-grenades.
Winter frightened its grip on the
front. The Volga was choked with
floating ice and whipped by bitter
winds in subzero temperatures.
No major developments were re-
ported from the other sectors. Dis
patches said that, in relatively small
engagements, the initiative passed
back and forth several times. In
the Nalchik area. an attack by two
German battalions was repulsed
while the Russians drove home
counterassaults in the Tuapse Sec
tor. ....
Two companies of Nazi infantry
were decimated by Russian gunfire
