Dem Publicity
Chief Re!ires
Puts Cover on
Bothered Mill
BY d. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-CR)
Charles Nicholson, 73-year-
old publicity chief of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, has
fired his last verbal barrage, he
says, at the Republican party.
The veteran reporter, author
and a ghost writer par excellence
of Democratic campaign speech
es for IS years finally has done
what he-and many Republic
cans-wanted for a long time;
put the cover on his battered
typewriter at party headquarters
and quit politics for good.
I'm Strengthening out few
things at the office" Nicholson
said today, "but officially I'm
no longer with the committee"
The publicist, claimed by
many Republicans to have been
largely responsible for President
Hoover's defeat for second term
in 1892, declared he didn't have
to submit a formal resignation
because II threw away my con-
tract long ago." and now is
going to loaf"
Charley" as he is known to
President Roosevelt and to the
political, business, and news
paper fields, had planned to wait
until Edward j. Flynn resigned
as national committee chairman
before quitting but said Flynn
had not yet made up his mind
when to get out.
The shaggy haired publicist
said he doubted whether new
publicity CHIEF would be appoint
ed at this time as the committee
was short on funds and has just
reduced its office space in the
Mayflower hotel by two-thirds.
In addition, more than rs stem
ographers and clerks have been
released and jobs found for most
of them in the government.

AS soon as the grocer can be
coaxed out of bed, coupon No.
81 in the old familiar sugar ra-
ton book becomes valid for the
coffee-unless you already have
more than one pound on hand,
in which case you swallow the
lump in your throat and the ex-
cess coffee first.
In any case, don't start the
family percolator to boiling over
with enthusiasm. That. one

when another coupon comes of
age.

one cup day.
Which, as the governor of
North Carolina is rumored to
have once reminded his South
Carolina contemporary, is quite
spell between gulps.
With shelves stocked up dur
ing the weeks freeze, there now
should be what the Office of
Price Administration playfully
calls enough" coffee for every
one - by which it means the
aforementioned one pound per
five weeks.
However, folks have been
urged not to stock up with all
the family's coupons at first. 1t
might mess up the distribution
system and create temporary 10
cal shortages here and there.
So just buy what you need -
don't be drip and dry up your

coffee isn't everything. (Who
said that?)

forgets himself on Monday and
mumbles that old pre-war plea:
Hey. bud - how about a cuppa

MOSCOW, Nov. 28-(R)-
Russia's Volga-Don offensive
ground away at stubbornly
resisting enemy today and bat
tie reports indisated Soviet
troops slowly were lengthening
and strengthening the lines that
menace Hitler's Stalingrad be-
siegers from the rear.
Large Nazi food stores and
hundreds of additional prisoners
were officially declared to have
been captured.
The Red Army maintained the
initiative in the drive begun No
vember 10 from the northwest
and south of Stalingrad, the mid
night communique showed, but
it was apparent that the Ger
mans were communicating in
force and throwing in fresh
troops in an effort to prevent full
entrapment of the Axis soldiers
in and around Stalingrad, esti-
mated at 100000.
GAIN FOUR TOWNS
Before Stalingrad the Russians
were reported to have taken four
more towns-Verkhny- Gnilov-
sky, Marinovka, Novo-Aksaiski
and Zarya-yesterday while the
reinforced garrison continued to
edge the invaders out of the city
bit by bit.
In the northern part of the city
Soviet unit was credited with
a 450-yard advance. The Ger
mans were reported run out of
several buildings in the factory
district.
Estimated Axis casualties in
dead and captured rose past the
10000 level during the day. The
figures of the communique, how
ever, indicated that the volume
and pace of the fighting had slac-
kened and the Soviet informa-
ton bureau, for the first time
in five days, issued no special re-
port on the Volga-Don offensive.
(The German radio declared
that the Soviet drive in the Sta
lingrad area could be considered
stopped, but reported heavy Rus
sian attacks still going on in the
northwestern sector, between
Moscow and Leningrad. The mid
night communique made no men,
ton of this area.)
GERMANS ATTACK
The Germans were said to be
communicating strongly south
west of Stalingrad, where the
Red forces have been showing
along the Stalingrad-N ovoros-
sisk railroad toward Kotelnikov-
ski, but these thrusts were re-
ported thrown back.
Six hundred Germans were
listed as killed in a successful
SONlCb ooN dIISC III duOtIlcI SCC-
tor of the Stalingrad area. A
large enemy column was report
ed routed, II tanks destroyed
and several hundred prisoners
taken in another area.
Heavy fighting apparently per-
sisted in the Don river bend
some so miles west of Moscow,
where the Russians seek to wipe
out spots of German resistance
and built. up a thick barrier of
Russian-held positions between
the Stalingrad attackers and
possible escape to the west.
Guerilla and artillery activity
was reported in the Black Sea
zone aroud Tuapse, near Nalchik
in the MidCaucasus and on the
Karelian and Minsk fronts to the
north.

and futilely after being hurled
to the east bank of the Don. An
ticIpating the NaZi moves, the
Red army said its forces were
methodically trapping and ex-
terminating the enemy groups
one by one.
Here is the picture of the
vast Russian operation, as drawn
from front line dispatches:
One force which started from
northwest of Stalingrad was
looping back toward the city,
from a southeasterly direction,
driving the enemy eastward
across the Don into the giant
plain between the Don and
Volga where other Soviet forces
were pressing the Nazis from
all directions.
A second force was driving
west along the Stalingrad- Ros-
TOW railroad while still a third
column was moving southwest
along the line running from
Stalingrad to Krasnodar, in the
Caucasus.
Inside Stalingrad the Ger
mans were being driven from
street positions after a maneu-
yer in which units of the crack
Soviet Guard in the northern
and southern sections effected a
union and launched a frontal
assault. This elected the Nazis
from several buildings in a fac
tory area.
SABER ATTACK
Retreating along the best
roads the Germans tried to save
their exhausted divisions con-
verging on one large town west
of Stalingrad, but the Russians
said a saber attack blocked the
Nazis and they were being hack
ed to pieces by Cossack horse
men.
Likewise there was fierce
engagement in the frozen hills
southwest of the city when the
Germans made an attempted
stand but after a night and day
of fighting the Nazis were re-
ported forced anew into their
retreat, closely pursued by Sow
let tanks.

Mdme. Chang
Visits j. ).
Chinese Chiefs
Wife in III Health

- Madame Chang Kai-Shek,
famed first lady of China's
fighting millions, Is back today
in America - the land Of her
school days.
This time it was the after-ef-
fects Of an accident on one Of
her daring trips to the Sino-
Japanese battlefront that
brought the wife Of China's
Generalissimo. to the United
States. When or how she ar
rived was not disclosed.
But there was immediate
speculation that her trip might
also spell new anti-Japanese
strategy as we'll as cement more
firmly the fighting efforts of
the two Allied nations.
A White House announce
ment said yesterday the woman
who helped weld China's war
ring factions into a mighty mil
itary unit was here for treat
ment of injuries sustained five
years ago when a tire blew out
on the automobile in which she
was riding under heavy
Japanese fire while visiting
the front.
After treatments are conclud-
ed, she will visit President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, the announce
ment said.
That the American-educated
woman who has been termed
1.-The brains of China" would
discuss war questions with the
President was taken as mat
ter of course
Such a discussion would be
familiar ground to her. During
her husbands rise to power
over some $50, 000,0 people, it
was the brilliant former Mel
Ling Soong honor graduate of
Massachusetts, Wellesley College
in 1917, who served as his envoy
extraordinary. Not only did she
accompany him wherever he
went, but she also carried his
cause alone throughout the
wilds of China on many a haz-
ardous mission.
She was potent power in
rallying the people against jap
anese invasion from the start.
Countless times she sped across
country by plane to swing some
wavering war-lord solidly be-
hind Kai-Shek's drive for a
united China.
And it was more than her
captivating diplomacy which
repeatedly turned the trick, for
she was Chiang's chief adviser
in all affairs of state, largely
responsible for direction of for
eign policies and commander
in chief of the air forces.
When he was captured by
Rebels at Sian in 1896, she flew
to the rebel stronghold, got him
released - and then transform
ed the whole venture into vic
tory for her husband by fast
talking the rebels into joining
their cause.
That she has continued to be
a strong force in the current
fight was evidenced in the
White House announcement.
Despite her serious injury, it
said, throughout the five and
one-half years of the war,
Madam Chang has refused to al
low her impaired health to in
terfere with her important re-
sponsibilities."
1t added that the Generals
simo had long been concerned
about her health, but that it was
not until early November that
she was persuaded by her at
tending physician to come to the
United States for medical treat
ment."

to see Mary and Mrs. Dalton by
merely shifting his eyes. Mary mum

though about to explode. Mary's

he caught the pillow and covered
