SIGNIFICANCE:
of Russid's s DriUe

While the world marveled at the
military might of the Russians
which was able to push the Nazis
back all along the battle front the
full significance of this winter
campaign was overlooked 5y many.
Should the offensive maintain its
momentum of the early days of the
new year Hitler's troops faced the
definite prospect Of retiring to lines
they held in the last World War.
On both ends of the long fighting
front the Russians were scoring
major triumphs. In the north, the
vital German-held supply base and
rail center of Velikie Luki had
fallen to the Soviet army. (Velikie
Luki is only 200 miles from East
Prussia.) In this sector the big
threat was to the Nazis massed be-
fore Leningrad, because if the
Russians pushed beyond Velikie
Luki toward that stronghold all the
Germans in the area would he cut
off from supplies. Further extend
ing the picture, military experts
foresee the necessary evacuation of
Estonia and northern Latvia,

BUTTER:

Effective February ! new order
by Food Administrator Claude
Wickard sets aside 30 per cent of
the nations creamery butter pro-
duction for the military forces and
the Lend-Lease program of 1943.
This means that a civilian supply
averaging 13 pounds of butter per
person for the year will be avail
able. This is three pounds less per
person than was available last year.
If production goals are not met or
if military demands increase the
available civilian supply may be
cut still more.

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Allied Successes

Although the Allies won the bat
tie of Buna, clearing that New
Guinea area of Jap troops, activi-
ties in the South Pacific showed no
signs of lessening. Jap resistance
continued unabated in other areas.
Later communiques from Cen
eral MacArthur's headquarters told
of a successful heavy bombing at
tack upon a strong Japanese naval
concentration at Rabaul, New Brit
ain. Flying over the target, Flying
Fortresses and Liberators scored
direct hits with 1000 pound bombs
on eight Jap merchantmen and
supply vessels. Another 1000

Pacific was being assembled at va
rious points under cover of bad
weather. The concentration meant
one of three things, he said: /. An

Results

But while much of this campaign
in the north was speculation, Rus
sian might had already dealt a Sc
ries of crushing blows to The Ger
mans massed in front of Stalngrad
and in the Caucasus. Success here
came as the result Of bold strate-
gic move on the part of Josef Stain
and General Zhukoff. For when
these Russian leaders decided that
Germany had about spent her
might in the allout effort to cap
ture Stalingrad they unleashed a
counter-offensive directly before
the city. Soon they learned that the
Germans had few reserves between
tn Volga and the Don rivers. Thus
the Russians took heart and pushed
westward toward the all-important
city of Rostov.
Capture of Rostov would mean
the entrapment of a million Nazls
in the Caucasus. Hitler realized
this and started a general move
ment of his troops in that sector.
But again the Russians attacked
and were successful in capturing
many important points while driv-
ing the Nazis ever backward from
their last years gosl-the oil
fields Of Grozny and Baku.

Big Muscles to Match
Bullying ForeheadS.

You readily will see what this
means: That the improvement of
the breed of horse-player will move
in the opposite direction from the
improvement of the breed of horse.
Horses have been improved" to
point where few of them can go
more than mile and half with
out swooning. Horses are improved
downward as far as strength and
stamina go. Horse players will be
improved into breed of supermen.
System experts will acquire bulging
muscles to match their bulging fore
heads.
It's true that when the Govern
ment ran the automobile off the
road the first result was the shut
ting down of a couple of race
tracks-Tropical Park and Hialeah.
This was because the move caught
the horse-player unprepared. He
could not change from platter to a
stake man overnight. 1t requires
adjustment and training.
BY spring, however, the profession
should be ready, and, once the Gov
ernment's breed-improvement pro-
gram is under way, it will be just a
question of selective mating and the
gradual emergence of the perfect
horse-player-the physique Of Her
cules combined with a knowledge of
what looks good in the sixth race.
