StaIingrad Faces
Continued Crisis:
Don Drive Grows

MOSCOW, Sept. 80. CUP)-Front
dispatches characterized the Stalin-
grad situation as "unabatingly
grave" today but revealed that So
Wet attacks on the east bank of the
Dom northwest of the city, are
penning large Na2i 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 an en-
circling the Nazis forces in the i'm
MEDIATE Stalingrad battle zone.
Soviet dispatches said that this
northwestern diversional offensive
was making progress and that sey-
eral strong NaZi positions had been
captured, mailing down an increas-
ingly large German force within the
Don loop and taking a heavy toll
of German men and equipment.
Within Stalingrad, proper, how
ever, the situation was described as
less favorable due to powerful Nazi
attacks, aimed at the capture of an
important hill in the northwestern
outskirts.
In the west and East Caucasus
front, Russian dispatches said, sig
nificant improvement" had occur
red. Soviet troops were said to have
checked German advances toward
Batum and Grozny. The weather was
said to be deteriorating rapidly and
the Germans were believed to be in
hanger of begging own.
The hill which the NaziS were at
tacking in Stalingrad was described
as a highly strategic objective.

THE CHANGE FACTOR
IN SECOND FRONT
{ Nevada State Journal)

That the Germans are taking no chanc-
eS of a surprise second front IN France
is proved by the official Canadian post
mortem on the reconnaissance in force at
Dieppe. Not only were the Germans
willing to risk an unprecedented number
of first-line fighter planes to stop spread
of the Dieppe raid into an actual inva-
sion operation, they were on the alert,
and they eXacted as heavy a toll from
the Allied land forces as the superior
Allied air force eXacted from the luft-
waite defenders.
The Canadian defense minister, J. l..
Ralston says frankly: For lessons learn
ed and the advantages gained, the forces
and particularly the land forces-paid
a very high price" The Canadians suf-
fered 2250 aSualties-twO-thlrds of the
Canadian force participating in the raid.
A great number of these were officers.
1t was the coStliest Canadian operation
in this war.
That any most meticulously calculated
program can be set awry by chance
detail is demonstrated by the revelation
that an escorted German tanker in the
English Channel happened to cross the
path of some of the Dieppe raiders.
Chance plus able coordination, espionage
and staff work enabled the japanese to
score at Pearl Harbor. Chance evened up
the score at Midway.
ANY second front operation will be a
costly one Democratic countries hesi-
tate to plunge into such efforts unless
the result seems reasonably assured That
is one of the reasons why the relatively
less costly mass bombings have been the
only offensive contribution of Britain
and the United States to the European
war in recent weeks.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

Marshal Erwin RommelS current
setbacks in Egypt are partially eX-
plainable by remarks made by Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge. Jr. just
after he returned from active duty
on the Libyan front.
Lodge. a reserve major who had
volunteered for a look-See at Libya,
came back to Washington when
the world was bowling low to Rom
mels military genius. Tobruk had
Just fallen. and there was a trend
to compare the Nazi marshal with
everybody from Hannibal to Napo-
leon. Lodge. who had been dive
bombed. strafed and generally har-
ried by Rommels Afrika Korps,
couldn't see it that way.
Hes a good general" the tall
Massachusetts senator said. But
he's no all-time genius No
Napoleon. What he is is a hell
ishly capable professional. And
mean professional i'm all its
senses Adaptable to immed-
late circumstances and an amaz-
ing Opportunist.
"Rommel never put all his eggs
in one basket. He never made up
his mind inflexibly to do or die
with one specific move. He never
fully committed himself to any pre-
Scribed tactic.
"Rommel would start several
thruSts at once, and throw his
strength into whichever seemed to
be progressing most favorably He
picked his holes like a good smart
football player, and dived into the
likeliest with everything he had.
In the Libyan campaign Rom
mel's ace was that the British never
knew where he was or what to ex-
pect next. He'd throw up some
tanks there, some smoke over there,
some planes here, and then bang
home in the confusion. His advan-
tage was that he wasn't trying to
storm prepared positions. That is
one of the chief differences between
the Libyan and Egyptian cam
paigns.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-30
NO PLANES, TANKS

In the new contract Germany
agrees to deliver 100000 Turkish
pounds ($14,4OO000 worth of as
sorted arms, which Turkey has been
trying to get since before the war.
Tanks and planes are not in
cluded.
The contract was development
of the TurkiSh-German trade
agreement negotiated by Karl Clod
ius, Germanys chief economic ne
gotiator, and signed last Nov. 9,
which was a severe Allied diplo-
matte reverse.
The treaty provided that Turkey
would provide Germany with co.
900 tons of chrome in 1943 and co.
900 tens in 1914.
The Krupp contract covers half
the 1943 amount 1t was believed
that if the Germans succeeded in
delivering the arms and getting
the first $4,000 tons, Turkey would
demand planes and tanks, delivered
in advance, for the other half.

would come here toward the end
of the year to negotiate further de-
liverieS of chrome.
Turkey at present is an import
ant SURGE of chrome used in British
and American war production.
If Germany really got the chrome
provided under the Clodius agree
ment Britain and America would
have to depend on African and
other sources since it was believed
unlikely that Turkey could produce
and move over its limited transport
system sufficient chrome to meet
both Allied and Axis needs.
(Serious as the threat OF the
Krupp contract was,( Germany has
had little success in making de-
liveries of any sort to Turkey, and
Turkey insists on delivery of Ger
man goods in advance before any
Turkish exchange is made.

strained to the limit and in the
Balkans, especially, big deliveries OF
goods are difficulty
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-30
THE THING HE
LIKES LEAST

In Egypt right now we've got a
pretty fair idea of where Rommel
is and what he's doing. And he is
doing the things he likes least
storming that prepared position.
In Libya he rarely stormed. He
preferred to infiltrate around his
objective, cut off supplies and water,
and make his move when the Brit
ish were thoroughly weakened"
Lodge says that much of Rom
mePs Libyan success was directly
attributable to the click -clack
smoothness with which his gen.
eraI staff work ran along. "The
mark of the professional again."
Lodge says. "RommePs organi-
zation was the type bred only by
long and scientific preparation
for a certain job"
Rommel's earlier successes also
were traceable to his adeptness
with his armored corps. The Ger
man marshal didn't divide the
strength of his mechanical might,
throwing sections here and sections
there.
Wherever he was" Lodge said,
'he was superior. He kept his two
armored divisions and his motor
lied infantry tightly welded as a
unit and made the most of it."
Rommel developed an amazingly
sharp device for detecting enemy
mines E.. So good that he could
uprOOt an average 200 British
mines an hour. This enabled him
to travel pretty much as he willed
through British mine fields, and
on one particular occasion he used
the British's own mines to protect
two flanks, having to worry only
about the. front and rear of his
column.
Lodge also was frankly admir-
ing about Rommers number one
tank-busting weapon, the 88-milli-
meter gum Formerly used as an
anti-aircraft weapon, it would GO

Lacking the jungle dress which
had aided the Japanese in an

Australians had adapted their

found and had improviSed the
camouflage necessary for jungle
fighting.
ENEMY'S TACTICS
They had taken, on Ioribaiwa
ridge. a Japanese defense line
strengthened by trenches, log bar
riers and trip wires skillfully con-
cealed in underground along the
only passable trails.
They had used the enemy's own
infiltrating and thanking tactics IN
forcing the Japanese back toward
the hump of the mountains, and
their capture of supplies and equip
ment made the present enemy po-
sition even less enviable.
It was indicated that the Aus
tralians might elect to halt their
drive on the Port Moresby side
of the mountain, for the present
at least. because of the fantastic
difficulty Of supply.
Even such things as artillery SheliS
must be carried by hand over the

more to greater experience and

Of this kind and have observed
them over several decades. They
report on two hundred patients
who undoubtedly had a real heart
attack (angina pectoris or coro-
nary thrombosis) between the
years 1920 and 1880.
Thirty-one per cent Of these pa
tients are still living, the longest
survival still alive being twenty
five years, and it may take another
ten years before it can be told ex-
actly what the mortality in this
group is.
Only nineteen per cent Of the
entire two hundred died within the
first four years after the attack.
Sixty-nine per cent of the en-
tire two hundred lived from one

The conclusion is that heart
attack is by no means necessarily
a prophecy of immediate doom.
With a very reasonable amount Of
care, the patient can be assured
that he has at least thirty per
cent chance of living over ten
years, and an eighty per cent
chance Of living from five to ten
