For Victory
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.

TT. COM. JOHN SMITH
IL THACH of Fordyce, Ark,
who commanded a carrier-based
fighting squadron in the Pacific
and saw action in every major
sea battle. today gave his
formula for beating Japan:
"Giye us a couple of dozen
aircraft carriers, n properly
balanced task force, sufficient
marines to make landings and
we can cut path across the
Pacific to Japan itself and make
Ii stick"
Thach. holder of two navy
crosses and a distinguished serv-
ice medal. won during the
Pacific battles, said the United
States had so few plane carriers
at start of the war that their
possibilities had not been fully
recognized.
Every major victory wen In
the Pacific-either by the Japa-
nese or us-has been won by the
use of carriers" he said at a
press conference. THE Japs
had carriers and their opponents
did not when the war started
and their victories over sea and
land forces were quick and de-
cisiye.

Plants Moved East

personally believe that Sta
lin during the Is months of the
fighting has been moving his
industries eastward.
The German general staff
wanted 10 cut all supply routes
from Southern Russia 10 the
north and particularly the Volga
River.
Axis troops have without a
doubt already paralyzed north
ward communication from Sta
lingrad and all points TO the
west.
But the great remaining route
from the Persian Gulf via the
Caspian Sea is still open and will
be kept open, so long as Axis
forces are not allowed TO reach
the shores of the Caspian Sea or
cross the Caucasus Mountains.

HitIer's Detectives

The fuehrer wanted to acquire
the wheatfields of the Ukraine,
the oil of the Caucasus and the
great industries of both.
However, during the two sum-
mers, the Russians have har-
vested a considerable amount OF
their crops.
Some of the oil has been lost
temporarily but the greatest
sources in the Caucasus still are
Soviet held and will remain so.
It is doubtful to me if the
Germans now will be able actu-
ally to seize the oil in the vi
cinity of Grozny.

Nazis at Crest

l believe there is a 90 per cent
chance that the Nazi armies
have reached the crest Of their
advance and will go no further.
The Caucasus Mountains are
an almost impossible barrier
and even if the oil at Grozny is
captured. there still are many
wells south of the mountains in
the vicinity of Baku. which are
relatively safe.

total Nazi casualties would now
be 100000 men. However, no
one knows how many satellite

MOSCOW reports that Nazi
WI troops are losing $4,000
men a day in their attack on
Stalingrad. Such casualties
killed. wounded and captured
are almost beyond human reali-
zation.
If this report is true and IL
the city, named after the Rus
sian premier holds another 80
days, the Axis casualties will
be half a million men.
No army can stand slaughter
at that rate.
Perhaps the Nazi armies at
their peak size during this war
contained 100000 men and the
Soviet 20,000,000.

MONTGOMERY, (SNS) -
The American Teachers Associa-
ton which was scheduled to hold
its goth annual session at Langs-

cancelling its annual meeting for
1912 and will substitute regional
conferences and a special planning
conference of representatives Of
state and national professional or
CARNATIONS as it's program for 1912.
With the approval. Of its prospec-
tive hosts at Langston University
and IN the State of Oklahoma, the
Executive Committee of the Amer
lean Teachers Association author
lied Executive Secretary H. Coun-
Gil H. Trenholm to "~'' '''"t last
week a poll of representatives in
81 states to ascertain their reac-
ton to the proposal and to obtain
some indication of what would have
been the probable attendance at
Langston in face of the present
crisis in rubber and gasoline ra-
tioning as well a. the difficulties
Of the congested commercial trav-
Ell. Over ninety percent of the re-
turns favored the proposal tC cam
eel the regular meeting for this
month to substitute the suggested
alternative approaches.
The American Teachers Asso-
citation is thus to give added en-
phasis to it's alternative channels
of service this year. Regional con-
ferences have already been held
at Memphis, Tenn; Valdosta, Ca;
Dover, Della, and Durham, N. G.
Regional conferences are being
conducted at a number Of the sum-
