AS OF today twenty-one million American

There nine million ditiona1 American

This appeal is directed to two groups Of
Anericans
First the twenty-one million people who

them to increase their investment per cent
Second the other nine million whom ask to
join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten

It IS earnest hope here at the Treasury

Americans will be investing ten per cent more
of their wages in War Bonds through the Payroll

first, it appears to have been made
at two and possibly three points by
the usual bridging methods.
The Germans are slowly expanding
their bridgeheads on the south side
Of the Don; that is to say, they are
passing from the second to the third
stage of a river crossing. When the
third stage is completed they will
have bridgeheads large enough to
give them room for maneuver and
to protect the bridge sites from Rus
sian artillery fire. When that is
done, an advance from the river will
be possible.
Such an advance would have as
it's initial object the cutting of the
main Stalingrad- -Rostov railway. If
this is accomplished, the whole of
the Russian forces in the Caucasian
area would be cut off from direct
rail communication with the main
centers of Russian power and in
dustry except for the newly built
railway from Makhach Kala to AS
trakhan.
This is q circuitous route and
probably not of great capacity. AS
long as Stalingrad holds, however,
the water route of the Volga still
will be open both for the supply of
the Caucasian armies and for the
movement Of oil northward.
May Try Kerch Crossing.
AS for the crossing at Rostov, this
German thrust may well take the
direction of Krasnodar about $50
miles south of Rostov, the most
important rail and road junction
in the western part Of the north
Caucasian area.
If Krasnodar fails to the Ger
mans, the important Black Sea port
Of Novorossisk will be cut off and
so will the Russian forces in the
Tamansk peninsula facing the
Germans across the strait at Kerch.
On the other hand, If Russian
resistance stiffens south Of Rostov
Evening star., 1942-07-30
The Nuzis in the Caucasus
Huge Mountons and Timoshenko's
Reserves Still Present Big Problems

as additional troops are called up,
it is quite possible that the Germans
will attempt crossing from Kerch
into the Tamansk peninsula to
threaten the rear and left flank of
the Russian armies.
1t should be added that the Ger
mans, if at Krasnodar, would be
only a few miles from the Maikop
oil fields, which while not nearly as
important as the great oil fields of
Baku would still be valuable prize.
OF course. the Russian "scorched
earth" policy would not leave the
fields in a state from which the
Germans could derive immediate
benefit, but they would have a
potential source of oil which they
could count on for the future.
The north Caucasian area in gen.
eral is favorable as far as terrain
goes for the operation OF motorized
and mechanized forces. The Ger
man difficulty will be one of supply,
since this region does not have
many railways and almost no good
roads at all
Thus another reason to expect a
German move toward the Tamansk
peninsula would be to obtain pos
session Of the port of Novorossisk,
thus facilitating the use of sea
transport, insofar as the German
aviation could protect their ships
from the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Red Reserves Retained.
So far, Marshal Semyon Timo-
shenko appears to have kept his
armies intact. There is no sign that
he has put in very large numbers of
reserves, certainly nothing beyond
the reserves of his own army group.
He seems to be playing for time, and
somewhere the main Russian strate-
gic reserve is still in hand, awaiting
its opportunity.
Timoshenko is, however, in in
creasing peril of being cut off from
the main body. of the Russian
Armies and pushed back into the
Caucasus. Already his best remain
ing railway line Is threatened A
German advance to Stalingrad would
just about finish the job of separat-
ing Timoshenko's southern armies
from the main Russian forces. After
that Timoshenko would be depend
ent on Allied supplies coming by way
of the Persian Gulf.
He has, however, certain remain
ing advantages. Even If the Germans
continue their advance, they must
face the tremendous mountain bar
rier of the Caucasus range, which
cannot be easily or quickly forced.
The best means of getting by this
range is to go around to the east
ward along the shore of the Caspian
Sea, but the Germans are long way
from this point as yet and their time
limit is running out.

former chairman of the State
Corporation Commission. Mr..
Schoeppel is reputedly the candi-
date of former Gov. ALI M.
Landon, who was the Republican
nominee for President in 1886.
There is no love lost between
Senator Reed and Mr.. Landon.
The latter prevented Senator
Reed from becoming delegate
to the last Republican National
Convention, for example.
Some of the more careful Re-
publican leaders in Kansas are
suggesting that the nomination

theory that if either Reed or
Schoeppel should be nominated
there would be bad blood among
the Republicans in a year when
they want victory. Senator
Reed, who has been both Governor
and Senator, is widely known
throughout the State. He is
confident he will win.
The Democrats In Kansas, on
the other hand, will nominate
without any pain whatever Will
liam H. Burke for Governor. Mr..
Burke has twice resigned as col
lector of internal revenue to run
for Governor. He was defeated
the last time by Gov. Rather,
though by a small margin.
Capper Victory Likely.
Veteran Senator Arthur Capper
will be renominated by the Kan
sas Republicans without shad-
ow of doubt. He has two op-
ponents, c. c. Isely, grain
dealer in Dodge City, and John
Allison, an oil man in McPher-
son. Senator Capper has a host
of friends. He was elected Gov
ernor of his State in 1914 and
again in 1916, and is now COM
pleting "a years in the Senate.
Not only is he expected to win
denomination, but the odds are
all in his favor for reelection in
November. Yet three Democrats
are striving for the honor of max
ing the race against Mr. Capper-
former Senator McGill, former
Representative Randolph Car
penter and w. c. Clugston. The
race for the Democratic nomi-
nation appears to lie between Nc
Gill and Carpenter.
The sitting members OF the
House from Kansas are expected
to be renominated. Because in
redistricting the State under the
new congressional apportion-
ment the fourth and fifth dis
tricts have been consolidated into
new fourth district. Represent
ative Rees, Republican. of the
old fourth and Representative
Houston, Democrat, CT the old
fifth district will in all prob
ability be pitted against one am
other. Mr.. Houston is the only
Democrat in the Kansas con-
gressional delegation. The new
district, it is estimated, will be
Republican in elections by about
$4,000.
Neely Election Also Likely.
Governor Nicely two years ago
went back to West Virginia to
clean out his political opponents,
who had had charge of the State
House. He succeeded in large
measure. Also, he elected his
choice for Senator, Joseph Ro-
zier, who has stepped aside so
that Gov. Nicely may stage
comeback to the Senate. Gov.
Neely's principal opponent is
former Gov. H. Guy Kump. If
Nicely is nominated and later
elected, as he is likely to be, the
president of the State Senate
will become Acting Governor un-
til special election may be held
and new Governor chosen.
