Moscow dispatches to be pulveriz-

Soviet attacks northwest of Stall
ingrad were described as slashing
away at the east bank cf the Don
and penning large NaZi forces with

objective of the Russians was to cut
off and encircle the mass of the
German army on the actual Stalin-

SURE, THERE'S
PLENTY OF ORE

There is enough iron ore in the ground,
in developed mines, to supply our steel
mills for years to come.
That is true statement. The federal
government agrees to it without hesita-
ton. Industrialists, steel men and others,
know it to be fact
Unfortunately, a lot of people think
that there is no need for scrap metal, be-
cause they believe the steel mills can use
the available iron ore. They think the
scrap drive is just another morale ef-
fort" because they think there is plenty
of iron ore to make steel.
The need should have been more widely
explained Once explained, II Is Tar
more apparent to everyone why scrap
metal is needed. The facts are:
Iron ore alone is not enough to make
first grade steel. All the iron ore in the
world could be poured into the steel mills,
and the resulting product would be third
or fourth grade Steel-if that-unleSS
there were scrap metal to mix with 1t,
Scrap metal is not substitute for iron
ore 1t is a vital part of the process OF
making high grade steel. 1t gives the
finished steel a toughneSs, temper, that
nothing else can.
We could go into the technical reasons
for this necessity for pages, but 1t would
only confuse the nOn-techniclan. what
the layman must understand is that,
without scrap metal, all the iron ore IN
the world would not give us good steel
And now, as never before, America
needs good steel.
Your scrap iron can help make it.

A GOOD RULING

The ruling of the state social welfare
board that California old age pensioners
can now add to their $40 monthly stipend
from the state without sacrificing that
payment should be welcome one. 1t per-
mits. at long last, old people who have
some tiny source of income to participate
in the old age benefit system without
sacrificing what they have made possible
by their own endeavors. 1t takes at least
one step towards doing away with our
governmental tendency to put premium
on pauperism, and penalty on those who
have saved, or acquired property, during
their earlier years.

20 YEARS LATE

Secretary of War Henry L. Stmson
announces that the Canadian Alaskan
military highway will be ready for service
about Dec. /. supplying military installa-
tions in Alaska and a series of air bases
across Canada.
This is welcome but belated recogni-
ton of Gen. Billy Mitchel's contention
of 20 years ago that Alaska must be
come the most important base on the
west coast for defense or attack. The
road is both portent for the future and
a warning for the present.
AS an indication of final recognition
of the strategic value of Alaska, it is
good sign If, however, this surface road
is an indication that the United States
still intends to depend largely upon sur
face armies and maneuvers for the de-
fense of Alaska, it is a grave warning to
Americans that the thinking of their
military brass hats has not yet progress
ed sufficiently to recognize that only air
planes can make Alaska impregnable,
and only airplanes can turn Alaska into
a base for offensive against Japan.
If the highway is used largely to trans
port materials and heavy equipment for
the construction of gigantic airdromes IN
Alaska, it is proof that, at last, Civil War
thinking has been overcome in our MILL
tary high command.

IMPORTANT VISIT
Oakland Trihunall

Oakland lflDunal)
Early next month Chile'S President,
Juan Antonio Rios is to visit this country,
Statesmen of the Western Hemisphere,
and some in the Eastern, are regarding
the event as a possible prelude to an
open break of Chile with the axis powers.
Today Chile and Argentina are the
only two countries in this hemisphere
which maintain diplomatic ties with the
aggressor nations. 1t cannot be SAID that
if Chile should sever relations, follow
ing the visit of President Rios, Argentina
would follow suit, but the move could be
expected to give new strength and eX-
preston to those in Argentina who would
have no more of President Castlllo's poll
cy of prudent neutrality
Chile is troubled with alien agents OF
espionage and propaganda whose brazen
effrontery is resented. A break with the
axis would supply reason and power to
rid the country of the whole crew, and
that would be to the benefit of all the
Americas At present Baron Won Schoen,
a "Wiedemann' south of the Equator, IS
using his official and social position as
German ambassador to Chile to establish
contacts and work Nazi mischief Daily
the signs accumulate that ChileS right
foot is itching to kick him out.
