NEW DELHI, India, Oct. g.
AEF bombers destroyed a bridge

river craft and other military
facilities of the japanese in
Northern Burma and the adjoin-
ing Chinese province of Yunnan,

communique said today.
Explosives loosed from a low level

Indications are that its loss was
due to extremely bad weather and
not to enemy action" the bulletin
said.

Germans Are Silent
On 5ta|ingrad After
Hinting Drives End !
Communique Is Restricted
To Fighting on Coucasus.
Don tnd Central Fronts
Blythe Associated Press.

Blythe Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Ger
man high command was silent
today on the 46-day-old battle 81
Stalingrad after Nazi propa-
ganda organs had said last night
that attempts to take the city by
storm would be abandoned in
favor of dive bomber and siege
gun destruction. 5s=s
For the first time since the siege
began the Nazi war comnnunique did
not mention either the city 81 sStsgl
lingrad or fighting in It's vicinity.
Its paragraphs on the Russian carna
paign were devoted to fighting on
the Don, Caucasus, central and
northern fronts.
= Today's official silence seemed to
support the supposition that the
Germans were preparing a propa-
ganda background for withdrawal
from Stalingrad.
Rost0v Retreat Recalled.
This silence followed a broadcast
yesterday by DNB, official German
news agency, that instead of costly
assaults by infantry and tanks on
Stalingrad "the finishing touches
now will be intrusted to heavy artn-
lery units and Stukas (dive bomb
ers)."
The fighting for Stalingrad has
changed" DNB said, "the strategic
objective at Stalingrad already has
been achieved"
But the advertised change OF tao
tics, broadcast just eight days after
Hitler boasted fatty that the city
would be taken, sounded a note slmi-
lar to that which emanated from
Berlin last winter when the Ger
mans were forced to retreat from
Rostov, the gateway to the Caucasus
New Plans Are Hinted.
A hint as to Hitler's new plans
was given today by Moscow dis
patches telling of German advance
into the Kalmyck region below Stall
ingrad along the lower Volga.
This might indicate that the Ger.
mans planned to abandon the flght
for Stalingrad and attempt to press
on toward the Caspian port O.
Astrakhan without a costly crossing
of the Volga. The river curves a
Stalingrad and follows southeast.
| ward course to Astrakhan.
Late dispatches from Moscow said
however, that fighting at Stalingrac
still was intense.
In today's communique, the Ger.
mans reported capture of severa
more hills in the Caucasus, the re.
pulse OF Russian attacks on the Dor
sector, new advances on the centra,
front west of Moscow and tht
smashing of five Soviet divisions II
recent fighting on the northwestern
front around Lake linen.

captured and 13 tanks, 108 guns, 400

Wood and Fabric

BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Oct. 9.-Russian flyers
are using a low-speed light bomber
made of wood and fabric for ac-
curate night attacks on Axis posi-
tions around Stalingrad, the army
newspaper Red Star said today.
The plane is an improved model
U-2, with a speed of only so to 90
miles an hour, Red Star said. 1t
reported the Germans used to laugh
at the type, which they called the
woodpile. but that mockery had
turned to fear.
Red Star said the U-2 could take

war. When 1t comes to making peace,
however, they believe that Senator
Norris, kindly man, would be the
kind of Senator they would prefer.
The campaign is just beginning to
warm up. Senator Norris, kept in
Washington by his duties in the
Senate, has not planned to return
to the State, but will make some
radio addresses. His friends are
working hard for him. He is strong
with the labor vote, but it must be
remembered that Nebraska is over
whelmingly farm vote State.
With thousands of men away in
the military service, the woman
vote is expected to cut more of a
figure in the coming election than
ever. The women, it is said, fall
for the voice on the radio" like no.
bodys business. Mr.. Mays name is
a household word. He has talked to
the people of Nebraska during the
noon hour for 10 years.
Stefan's Victory Recalled.
There is precedent for a radio
speakers political success in Ne
braska. Representative Stefan, a
Republican, had radio program in
his district before ever he ran for
the House. In 1884, when Nebraska
was hell-bent for the New Deal
much to the surprise of many people,
Mr.. Stefan stepped out and got him.
self elected to the House against a
strong Democrat.
Mr. May is a native of Missouri
coming to Nebraska with his father
Congregational minister, at the
age OF 3. Before he entered the
radio business as q commentator
ne had studied law, worked as a
salesman for a biscuit company and
peena reporter on the Denver Post
Omaha Bee, st. Louis Times and
Minneapolis Star. He is married
and has two daughters, one II years
old and another 3h.
1t was in 1888 that he started out
with his radio program which he has
carried all over the State, and as far
away from home as ! California
Florida and South America on
special occasions. He gave up
$4,000. job to make this race. Four
years ago he sought the Democratic
nomination for the House in this
district and was defeated by Repre-
sentative Mclaughlin by only 5000
votes.
He makes two radio speeches a
week in the present campaign, and
Is travelling more and more about
the State. Whatever the outcome of
the race, he will have made himself
felt on election day.
Labor Switches to Norris.
Roy Brewer, head of the American
Federation of Labor in the State.
came out for Mr.. May soon after
he announced his candidacy. With
the entry of Senator Norris, how
ever, Mr.. Brewer switched to the
veteran Progressive and is member
of the Norris Committee now.
Gov. Griswold is heading the Re-
publican State ticket, which is ex-
pected to be elected. His Democratic
opponent is former Coy. Charlie"
Bryan. brother Of the late William
Jennings Bryan.
Nebraska has lost a House seat in
the reapportionment of House repre-
sentation among the States. The
probabilities are that the Repub-
licans will elect three out of the
four-member delegation to the
House in the next Congress. Rep
resentative Mclaughlin, Democrat,
who represents the Omaha district,
Democratic stronghold, is expected
to be reelected, although the Re-
publicans, with Howard Buffet as
their candidate, are making q bid
for this seat, too.

been fettered, and by declaring that
they do not approve nor will ap-
prove in the future of lettering pris-
oners of war on the battlefield.
May Be Part of War of Nerves.
THE British government, how
ever, refrained from dealing with
the fact that despite the previous
and present hypocritical declara-
tions made by the British War Of
f1ce, German prisoners of war have
been fettered in brutal way.
For this reason, on October g. at
IL noon, LOT British officers and
1859 British commissioned Of.
f1cers and privates taken prisoner at
Dleppe have been fettered after
being informed of the reason whv
Military clergymen, doctors, stretch
er-oearers and the wounded and sick
were not fettered.
on the evening of October 8 the
British War Office announced that
on october 10 at II noon the same
number OF British prisoners of war
would be fettered and chained.
Should this happen, the German
hlgn command on October 10 at -
noon will have fettered three times
the number of British prisoners At
war" "a
Some British sources expressed
oene1 that the sudden, bitter issue
was an Axis skirmish in the battle
VI nerves, aimed at diverting their
peoples attention from Campaign
Illustrations. -
1nese sources said Germany an
parentiy was trying to make a
weapon out of the fact that she
mas 1ar more British prisoners than
5ritain has Germans. They said
Britain has some $4,000 Germans
IN ner hands and the Germans have
roughly 1l5,000 Britons.
Inc British, however, also have
$4,000 Italians, captured mostly In
tne battles OF Libya and East Africa.
The British, in response to Ger
many's original charges, had in
v1ted investigation of their treat
ment OF prisoners by Switzerland
as provided by the Geneva Con-
vention OF 1929 regulating the care
OF war prisoners, but the Germans
spurned this assurance with the
declaration that it was UP to Brit
ain herself to "disprove" the Nazi
charges.
There was one rumor that Swiss
Legation ofncials in London had in
spected German prisoners yesterday
and found them well treated. but
the Swiss denied having received
instructions from their government
to make such an inquiry.
A similar issue apparently was
brewing between Germany and
Russia. A Berlin broadcast yester-
day accused the Russians OF killing
prisoners taken on the eastern front.
It made no threats, however. 4

Part of the house in which the

long before Mr.. Dawson bought the

Mrs. Jarboe's sister, Mrs. Quirk,
lives in a spacious old farmhouse. It

Cling to Their Soil.
The Quirks and the Jarboes prob
ably are typical Of the older land
owners Of the Cedar Point region.
One point you hear repeated
throughout the area, from the ham,
let called California to the bay:
Its not a question of price. We
won't sell our land unless we have
to for any price. People don't
seem to realize that we want the
land, not money for it."
This Hardyesque quality seems to
pervade the community.
There are, of course, in the area
tenant farming families who drift
from place to place, taking up what
ever acreage is offered. And some
of the prize farms and estates
around Cedar. Point and Solomons
Island have changed hands often in
recent years. Some have been
bought by afluent persons who live
at a distance and use them as sum-
mer residences.
These, naturally, have not the

But those who have had their
