By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-Red Army
troops threatened to close an
other giant pincers on encircled
Axis garrisons about 100 miles
west of Stalingrad today, fol-
lowing the capture of Chernish-
kov, on the railroad to Likhaya,
and the German air base of
Chernishkovskaya, 40 miles north
of the railroad center, Soviet
authorities reported.
The two places were captured
yesterday and II planes, 1000, 900
shells, half million airplane bombs
and other stores of civilian and war
supplies were taken, the Moscow
radio announced in broadcasting a
special war bulletin recorded here
by the Soviet Monitor.
Broadcast regular communicates,
recorded by the Soviet Monitor, the
latest of which was the Soviet In
formation Bureaus midday war
bulletin, told of fierce fighting
southwest Of Stalingrad, in the
middle Don area, southwest of
Velikie Luki and in the Northern
Caucasus, where Russian soldiers
welded bayonets and rifle butts to
clear village of the enemy.
German Ranks Broken.
Tank units bore against reinforced
German outfits which had succeeded
in throwing back the Red Army in
one sector Of the middle Don battle,
the Russians reported, and broke
the German ranks, killing several
hundred men and disabling 40 Axis
tanks.
West Of Rzhev, German counter
attacks were reported repulsed and
southwest of Velikie Luki a Red
Army unit drove the Germans out
Of a strongly fortified center of re-
sistance after smashing barbed wire
defenses and picking path through
mine fields.
I'm the Northern Caucasus our
troops continued their advance and
occupied several populated places"
the midday communique said. AN
especially fierce engagement took
place IN the area of large village.
The Germans threw considerable
numbers of infantry and tanks into
the attack.
Our artillery gunners, followed by
mfantrymen, opened fire and dis
abled eight enemy tanks. In hand
to-hand fighting with bayonets and
rifle butts, Soviet troops routed the
Hitlerites and drove them from the
village.
$50 Enemy Dead Counted.
Three hundred and thirty enemy
dead were counted on the battlefield.
According to incomplete data, in
the capture of the town of Mozdok
one Soviet unit alone routed two
German battalions, and captured IS
tanks, 8 guns, 2 large ammunition
dumps and many motorcycles"
More towns were taken in the
south and southwest of Stalingrad
and in the Middle Don, the mid day
war bulletin noted.
1t did not identify the towns, but
successes in the Middle Don were
presumed to be shaping the right
wing Of the pincers in their region.
Russian columns already have
crossed the Don River east of Tsim-
lyansk to provide the left wing of
the pincers, and the gap to Cher
nishkov appeared to lack only about
80 miles of closing. Union of the

endorsement was far from unani-

LONDON, Dec. 81 - Up -
The possibility that the Ger
man battleship Scharnhorst car
ried her entire crew down with
her when she was sunk by
British home flet units off the
Norway North Cape arose today
when no word came of any
survivors.
If such were the case last
nights sinking Of the 10000
ton vessel in a blazing Arctic
action would parallel the sink
ing of the big battleship Bis
marck by the British navy IN
May, 1941. Only relative hand
full of the Bismarck crew was
saved. About 400 men pre-
sumably were aboard the
Scharnhorst.
Allied military experts hailed
the sinking Of the Scharnhorst
as one of the most spectacular
triumphs of the Royal Navy and
as bitter defeat for Hitler in
his latest desperate gamble TO
halt the flow of American and
British war supplies TO Russia.

BATTLE IN PROSPECT
Regardless of which of the two
leading candidates might win the
appointment, wounds so deep as
to prevent immediate healing are
believed to have been cleaved
during the hot rivalry between
the two men, and-even If a
dark horse should receive the
governors sanction--a battle
royal is almost certain to be
waged next fall when the voters
themselves name a successor to
the Kelly appointee; whoever he
may prove to be.
Just one thing appears beyond
question::
The governor will have TO act
