Velt was second IN command in the
Maxim raid under Lieut. Col. Evans
F. Carlson, of the Marines, with
Comdr. John NJ. Haines leading the
naval support force. None Of the
three was a casualty.
Maxim is 2,400 miles southwest
of Hawaii and 1,275 miles northeast
of the Tulagi area, of the Solomons.
1t is 1900 miles from the Aleutians
where the Navy and the Army air
force are operating against enemy
held bases.
The Maxim attack was a COM
plete success. The Navy and the
Marines together devastated an i'm
portant enemy base on the vitally
important supply line TO Australia,
New Zealand and American protect
ed fighting French New Caledonia.
In the Solomons, in a fight to
the death, the Marines first wiped
out an entire enemy unit of go men
who resisted to the end and then
disposed of the entire reinforcement
force of TOO men who, Nimitz re-
vealed, had been sent in speed
boats to the support of the enemy
forces in the Tulagi-F Florida Quad
alcanal area.
The communicates were:
No. 7.
Aside even from the intrinsic i'm
portance of the American victories,
informants here pointed to the vast
expanse of territory over which
the naval and Marine forces we're
attacking as showing the power of
the Pacific fleet less than nine
months after Pearl Harbor.

MARINES LOSE "a
The Marines lost "a men killed
and 85 wounded in the two Solomon
Islands engagements which cost
the enemy 762 dead and 80 made
prisoner, and losses in the Maxim
island engagement were described
as moderate, considering the nature
of the engagement which was a dar-
ing assault on a strongly held enemy
base in face of direct fire from the
beaches.
Admiral Chester w. NimitZ, an
nouncing the American victories in
two communiques issued at his
headquarters here where the Pacific
war began in the japanese sneak at
tack Dec. z, said that in the south
ern Solomons the japanese had
been driven back into the jungle and
the hills which rise sharply a few
miles inland in the volcanic is
lands.
There are daily skirmishes, MINI
itZ said. in which both sides are
suffering casualties.
But it was clearly indicated that
the Japanese losses were astonish-
ingly high in proportion to those
of the Marines and that, as had
been hoped, the Solomons offensive
had become an historic American
victory.

dispatches reported today that the
Germans have massed an estimated
SO diVisions-poSsibly 100000 men
on a 60 mile front at the Don river
elbow in an attempt to crash thru

Under the weight of this great
mass of men, the dispatches said,
the bloodiest fighting of the war

Of the Don and at points on the
eastern shore where Nazi automatic
riflemen managed to cross the
stream.

PARTIES DESTROYED

Two paftleS Of German storm
troops which reached the east bank
were said to have been destroyed.
The entire territory between the
northern and southern arms of the
Don elbow was said 10 be q battle
ground and it was admitted that
Nazi pressure slowly was forcing the
Russian defenders back at some
points.
In the Caucasus, front reports
said, Nazi reinforcements are ar
irving to swell the already large
German troop concentrations.
The Germans were pressing hard
south of Krasnodar, reports said,
despite constant counterattackS by
Soviet forces. In at least one sec
tor the Russians were again forced
sate retreat
However, Cossack troops were
holding firmly at most points
against Nazi tank assaults.
IN one sector two German divi-
Sions and 40 tanks attempted to
overWhelm the Soviet defense lines
but were beaten off.
TRY FOR FOOTHOLD
In the loop of the Don river,
southeast of KletSkaya and 40 miles
west of Stalingrad and the Volga
river line, the Germans were doing
their utmost to mop up the west
bank and establish a foothold on
the east bank, from which they
could launch a final assault across
the steppes.
The Germans already had forced
the Don twice. The first crossing
was wiped cut, the second. more
than 20 hours ago was all but de-
Stroyed and its remnants driven
back to the very edge of the east
bank of the river.
The southern flank, northeast of
southwest cf Stalingrad, also was
in peril. There the Germans had
driven a wedge of tanks into Rus
sian defenses, and, although last
midnights communique said there
were only a few tanks, and they
were being wiped out, front-line
dispatches indicated that the Situa-
tion had not greatly improved
on both flanks. German losses
were heavy.

One thing air raid preparations
are doing for Washington is to
bring Mrs. Got-Rox, Secretary
Phoof and Sen. Even Phoofer off
those high horses.
With the exception of New York
and Chicago, Washington probably
is proportionately, more of an
apartment city than any other.
Like all big apartment cities. the
most unneighborly people in town
are neighbors.
I know a young man who had
lived in the same building with d
senator for three years, but had
never seen him until they both
turned up at the air raid warden
organization meeting. The young
mans apartment is one room, the
senator's seven. But it was the
young man who was named deputy
warden for that section of the
building
Three nights later, the senator
called and wanted to know if the
deputy wouldn't please come in
and help him plan the blackout of
his 81 windows Now instruction
classes are being held in the sem
ator's apartment and the senator
is just one of the gahg.
Such stories are being told all
over Washington, Approximately
several Supreme Court justices. a
couple of hundred dollar yearers,
IS senators, seven cabinet members
and rlumberless congressman live in
apartments and are getting ac-
quainted with the folks around
them for the first time
Maybe this is the beginning OF
democracy.
