RUSS STEAMROLLER:
Gains Momentum

Best news for the United Nations
cause continued to come from the
far-fung expanses of south and CEN
trail Russia.
The Reds two-pronged threat
aimed at Rostov, vital city at the
mouth of the Don, grew more men
acing to the Nazi defenders, as both
the northern and southern arms of
the pincers continued to make new
gains, capturing 81 villages in the
Middle Don and rolling up impress
sive advances in the Caucasus.
The Caucasus offensive was espe-
cially significant, for after expelling
the Nazis from Mozdok, gateway to
the Grozny oil fields, and from stra-
tegic Nalchik, the Russ pressed the
retreating Germans hard, advanc-
ing toward Mineralne Vody, center
of network of Caucasus railroads.
The capture of more than dozen
Caucasus towns indicated that the
NaZi front in the area was breaking
up faster than in any previous bat
ties.
The seriousness of the German
plight in the Caucasus was empha-
sized by the fact that for the first
time the Berlin radio conceded that
Axis troops were retreating in the
east Caucasus, explaining that their
troops had carried out ga shorten
ing of the front, according to plan by
giving up advanced strong points,"

CONGRESS-:
Farm, Bloc Program.

Increasing strength of the farm
bloc's il uence in the 18th congress
was evident as leaders modified
their forces in both houses to modify
administration farm policies and to
seek release from the armed forces
Of drafted farm youth as a means
of relieving the agricultural manpow-
er shortage.
That the farm bloc had support
for it's efforts in rural America was
indicated by the action of five major
farm organizations in uniting be-
hind the program. These groups in
clude the National Association Of
Commissioners, Secretaries and Di-
rectors of Agriculture; the American
Farm Bureau Federation; the Ma
tional Grange; the Milk Producers
Federation and the National Co
operative Council.
Speaking for the farm bloc, Sena-
tor John Bankhead of Alabama said
that preservation of the farm labor
supply should figure in complete
redistribution of manpower. Indicat-
ing the farm bloc's support of the
farm organizations appeal for re-
lease of drafted farm youth, he as
serted that the estimated 100000 to
$500, 900 men scheduled to be drafted
in 1943 might well be diverted to
production Of both weapons and food.

NORTH AFRICA:

AS American troop concentrations
were speeded in the new U. S. fifth
under Lieut.. Gen. Mark Clark, Brit
ish infantry units wrested important
heights from the Germans west of
Bizerte.
The British, however, were dis
lodged from these positions by fierce
German counter-attacks indicating
the enemy's determination to contest
every remaining foot of African soil.
British and American bombers
were active in the air, while Allied
submarines harassed Axis shipping
in the Mediterranean, sinking two
enemy ships believed to be carrying
troops to Africa.
In the east, General Sir Bernard
Montgomery's British eighth army
had been sparring for an opening
for a new push on Tripoi.
On the diplomatic front it was re-
ported that Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
leader of the Fighting French, and
Gen. Henri Giraud had agreed to
discussion of North African problems
designed to speed French action
against the Axis in collaboration with
their Allies.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
JaDs Are Stubborn

Although General Macarthur S
forces had cleared the enemy out of
the Papuan peninsula, the Japs still
held an area in New Guinea as large
as Texas and Oklahoma combined.
That the Nipponese intended to stub
bornly hold this area was evident
from their naval operations to re-
inforce it.
First Jap efforts in this direction
were frustrated when United Nations
bombers attacked a convoy of 10
enemy ships off Lac, 16O miles up
the eastern New Guinea coast from
Buna. The Allied airmen sank two
ships, one 15,000-ton vessel loaded
with troops, scored hits on a third
and shot down IS Jap planes, accord
ing to communique from General
MacArthur's headquarters. l
Meanwhile other Allied airmen
roved as far as Gasmata and Ra-
baul in neighboring New Britain,
where unusually heavy concentra-
tions of Jap troop and supply ships
and war craft had assembled.
In the Solomons, American fiiers
continued to assert Allied air SUI
premacy by attacking Jap airfelds
at Munda and Kahili on Bougainville
island. Meanwhile in Burma, Brit
ish planes strafed the area northwest
of Akyab and damaged enemy ship
ping off Burma'S west coast.
