the Stalingrad area, had been
overwhelmed after more than
two months of heroic defense

group in the northern part of Stalin-
grad still was holding out.
An earlier broadcast denied
Marshal Paulus had been captured
and still later report said it had
been announced authoritatively that
he had been severely wounded.
That a large-scale German re-
treat might be in progress between
the Caucasus and the lower Don
east OF Rostov, was indicated by
the high commands assertion that
Russian troops advancing in that
sector had failed to disturb the
marching movements Of the mass
Of our troops"

progress on the Donets front and

A total of 16 driving shafts broke.

Nearly Liquidoted
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY,

| Associated Press War Correspondent.
MOSCOW, Feb. 1.-The powerful
German siege force Of 5000 men
which Adolf Hitler boasted never
would be ousted from Stalingrad has
been almost completely liquidated
and its commander Field Marshal
Friedrich Paulus, with Is generals,
has been captured, the Russians an
nounced today.

pushed so confidently and swiftly
across the Don River last summer
hoping to seize Stalingrad for Hit

The figure Of $50, 900 was a revision
upward Of the size of the siege force

Marshal Paulus, whose promotion
from the rank of colonel general
was announced only yesterday by
Berlin, thus was the commanding
ofncer at the worst defeat Germany
has suffered in Russia. He likewise
was the first German field marshal
in this war to break the proud tradi-
ton Of the Germany Army that
generals and their superiors are
never captured.

Front Moves Westward.
Some 1900 Germans still clung
to the blackened buildings OF North
Stalingrad and the shell pitted out
skirts, the Russians said, but they
were cut of from supplies and the
real front had swept far to the west
behind them before the powerful
blows of the Red Army.
(The midday communique of
the Soviet Informal ton Bureau,
recorded by the Soviet radio
monitor in London. said more
than 900 Of these 1900 Germans
were killed last night as the Red
Army circle was drawn more
tightly around them. In addi-
ton, more prisoners were cap
tured, the communiQue said, and
large quantities OF war materiel
taken.
Further progress was reported
from other sectors The Russians
said more units Of the encircled
German and Hungarian divisions
west Of Voronezh were wiped out.
Southeast OF Kastornaya, some 80
miles east Of the important Ger
man base at Kursk. many Axis
troops were killed and 1,750 were

Several more populated places
were claimed captured in the
North Caucasus, but they were
not identified. The Red Army
offensive was reported developing
successfully there, with motorized
infantry slasning through Ger
man positions at one point to rout
German column and capture
considerable booty)

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. tP.-About
three weeks ago, two giant flying
clippers, escorted by Army bombers,
took of from the nearby Dinner
Key seaplane base bearing Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his party to
Casablanca.
Only few persons witnessed the
unusual activity, and those who did
failed to realize what was happen
ing.
The President arrived here from
Washington by special train and
was driven to the Pan American
base which had been ordered
cleared. The Presidents car en-
tered the blacked-out area and
parked alongside the ramp. The
party entered the planes directly,
instead Of going through the pas
senger terminal.
The crews Of the planes were con-
fined in room until the passengers
were aboard. Seconds later, the big
clippers were over the sea, with
their grim escort.
