Deserting Agricul tur a Labor to Be Forced
 Back to Farms NOT ROOSEVELT, BUT McNUTT TO DESIGNATE. Officials Uncertain How Far They Can Go With- <
 out Legislation
BY LYLE c. WILSON

 Washington, February 10. - (UP) = The administra- tion has ordered a minimum 48-hour work week for "all employment" in 32 critical areas and proposes further to solve the manpower probs lem by freezing essential workers in their jobs and forcing deserting agricul- tural labor to return to tho farms.
 Agricultural workers who fled to the factories should be given the choice, said Economic Stabilizatlozl Director James F. ByrneS, of returl1S ing to the farm or going into the armed services - at less pay either way. And he said those on the farms should stay there. \
 Bynes revealed also in . radio' address last night that the War De- partment twas considering tlae practicality of using Army men on the farms" by issue of peak saaEulA furloughs. But he said no plan had been agreed upon.
 The 4S-hour work week, ordered into effect in g areas, was estab~ lished by Mir. Roosevelt as a natiotis al policy. It was left to Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the I1anp0wer commission to decide how widely it should prevail. He named the ga critical areas.
 The work week ordered protected all time and one-half overtime pay rights of labor under contract 0R under the wage-hours act.
 Deputy War Manpower Chairman Fowler W. Harper said war ii1dus@ tries now were working ai1 average 45.7-hour work week and that if ail persons working over 90 and under 48 hours were moved up to tho higher figure, there would be als 1,500,O00 workers released for the war effort.
 Designated Areas
 He said the 40-hour order would apply in designated areas to all efl@ ployment, even where an enterprise employed only one person. Ha thought employers would have to report to the war manpower cons the number of hours each employe worked weekly. And ho pointed out that current production schedules called for the addition of 6 6,50O,000 persons to the nations labor force this year.
 No assurance could be given, he explained, that in changing jobs aa adjust to the 4S-houE week, workers will receive the same wages they now receive. But tho will make an effort to place @ worker in job with wages as nearly as possible approximatin@ hose he now receives.
 If the order produces 8 labor sure plus in any given area, the coulmis~ sion hopes to place men thus rec eased on farms in nearby areas The commiSsion-llnder which the Selective Service System operates.s also will encourage former farEA workers to leave their factory jobs and return to the farms, fzarper aid.

RED ARMY DRIVES TOWARD KHARKOV
Russians Pound Germans at RostOv; 20 Grounded
 Nazi Planes Destroyed
BY M. S. HANDLER United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Moscow, February 10. -- (UPl - Russian artillery pounded the Ger mans at Rostov today and the Red Army drove toward Kharkov on a big semicircular front.
 The Soviet noon conmunique disclosed that the Red artillery had opened barracks against the Ger mans in the RoStov area and around Kramatorsk, 150 miles to the northwest. There were indi- cations that the triangle bounded by RoStov, Kramatorsk and Mariu- pol, 100 miles west of Rostov, on the sea of Azov, would become arl- other German death-trap.
 Russian tanks driving down the north bank of the Don broke big German mechanized attacks and continued their steady advance to- ward the city from the east in con- junction with the Red Army forces moving up from the south.
 The forces of Colonel General Philip Golikov and Colonel General Nikolai F. Vatutin had completed a semi-circle about Kharkov, fol- lowing their quick capture of Bel forod. The northern spoke of the semi i-circle extended Al miles north of Kharkov to Belgorod and in the south, 1t reached to Bala Kleia, 46 miles southeast of Kharkov. The average radius of the semi-circle was 45 to 50 miles from Kharkov.
 G0likov meanwhile drove his wedge northward from Kursk, estab- fishing & flank position to protect Vatutin'S armies from formidable German striking force understood to be concentrated ct Orel, s5 miles north of Kursk.

 The Russians were only 4l miles away from Kharkov on the north and northeast after capturing Bel gorod an anchor point in the Ger man UkFainlan defense system, and the nearby town Of ehebekino. They were so miles away on the east, 40 miles away on the southeast. and 6S miles away on the south.south- east.

AFRICAN WARFARE MERGER IMMINENT

 Cairo, Feb. 10.-(UP)-The Axis Mareth line in T'unisia can be turned and the battle to drive the enemy off the last African bridge head is imminent with "all the dice loaded in our favor," Gen. Sir liar. old R. L. G. Alexander, British commander in the Middle East, said today.
 The Mareth line, about 40 miles long, was constructed at the same time as the Maginot line in France, Alexander said, at time when peo- pie were not thinking In terms of mobile, armored forces.
 "The Mareth line can be turned" he said flatly.
 The time is approaching. Alex ander said when all the warfare in Africa will be merged into the Tu- nisian battle.
 Replying to questions concerning the Axis chance of holding an Afr. can bridge e-head, Alexander said the enemy undoubtedly would hang on as long as he could. but he will have to be lucky to hold 1t perm anently.
 IT think they are very unhappy now" he said. .'All the dice are loaded in our favor. The enemy will try to hang on as long as possible because Of the frishtful possibilities for him # the Mediterranean Is opened up t0 us, especially Wtth the disaster the enemy Is having on the Russian front"

Minimum Affects 32 Areas; Essential War
 Jobs Will Be Frozen
Qualification Here Anxiously Awaited
Employers and Employees Speculate on Outcome of 4S-E1Our Week Regulations; Little Change in
 Local Mills Expected

Clariflcation of the 4S-hour week order of President Franklin Roose- welt was anxiously awaited in Wa terbury today as employers and e3a- ployes speculated on the effect of the new regulations on the local en1- ployment picture. No definite in- structions have been sent to the local employment groups and the extent to which the regulations would be modified for the local area could not be determined.
 Job-shifting, which started here on 8 voluntary basis since the War Manpower Commissions order on pending joh-freezing was issued, is expected to increase to @ great ex- tent following application of the new principles. Some observers state that large numbers of work CTS in non-essential establishments will be forced to take war industry jobs, while others believe the short- age problem has already affected the non- essential category to such an extent that further decrease in that category could not be ro- ticeably secured. Employment otil- cials could supply no estimate of the additional number of war-work- CTS that may be obtained through the new mobilization plan.
 With local mills already operating on the 48-hour a week basis Ilt- tle change is expected in the set- up there. Restaurants and stores. many of which have hired employees for more than 4S hours because of the shortage situation will not be universally effected. The fuel oil shortage which created heatless Mondays in this city has decreased the hours in many stores and ofilces, but employment is expected to be back to the normal schedule when the new order takes effect March 3l.
