either to the north or east.
The Orel offensive was speeded by
the capture yesterday of Bolkhov
a coal mining center IS miles tc
the north and the last Axis strong
point above the city. Bolkhov had
been by-passed in the Soviet ad-
vance and it's final reduction re-
leased new forces for the assault on
Orel itself.
Violent street battles ragged in
burning Bolkhov before the Ger
mans abandoned the city. The
enemy had fortified every house
and every church. The Russians
found not single civilian in the
city, though its peace-time popula-
ton totalled $4,000. 1t was pre-
sumed that the inhabitants had
been driven to the rear for slave
labor.
The Germans determination to
cling to Orel to tie end, even at
the risk of another "Stalingrad"
was reflected in front dispatches
reporting that they were using AL
pine light infantry and police troops
to help man the blockhouses and
artillery emplacements in the city's
main defenses.
Garrison Wiped Out
The army organ Red Star told of
one battle in which the German
garrison of a small village on the
city's outer fringe, including new
ly-arrived panzer division, was
wiped out to the last man.
In another sector, the Russians
forced an unspecified river and es-
tablished a bridgehead on the OPP
posite bank.
The Germans counter attacked
IL times on the Orel defense peri
meter yesterday, but achieved only
a slight reduction in the pace of the
Russian advance. COMMUNICATES re-
ported additional gains of three
and half to five miles during the
day and the capture of number of
towns and villages.
In fighting for one town north of
Orel, Soviet communique said,
the Russians killed 400 Germans
aind destroyed IA tanks and five
self-propelling guns, while in a
neighboring sector 5000 enemy
troops were slain.
Annihilate 1900
A Russian formation east of Orel
annihilated 1900 retreating Ger
mans and set fire to II tanks and
six self-propelled guns, while south
of the bastion, 500 Germans we're
killed and nine tanks disabled in
the capture of village.
Summarizing the Today Soviet
offensive around Orel, the high
command reported that boaty cap
tured included 372 tanks. 72O guns,
300 mortars, 1,400 machine-guns,
and 1913 dumps and stores. In adj
dition, TIC tanks have been des-
troyed or disabled. 900 planes
wrecked and 1872 guns destroyed or
damaged. Six thousand prisoners
have been taken.
Russian forces on the Belgorod
front advanced three to four and a
half miles and in tWo-day often
sive in one sector drove the Ger
mans from a number of villages and
towns, killing 1000 enemy officers
and men. The Germans lost seven
tanks, including two Tigers, in
counter attacks
South of Izyum, the Russians
captured several commanding hills
and killed 1000 Germans in re-
pulsing counter attack.

HondicoPsf for
Hoqg's Rivals

Concord, Mass, July 23-(UP)-
Two of Gunder Hagg's four rivals
in Saturdays mile race at Harvard
stadium will be given handicaps to
insure a fast pace for the Swedish
star in his attempt to lower his own
world mark of 4:04.6, it was an
nounced today.
Hagg, theologian Gil Dodds of
Boston, U. S. mile champion, and
Don Burnham of Dartmouth, ma
tional intercollegiate mile titlist,
will run from scratch. Bill Hulse OF
the New York A. c., national half
mile champion, will have a 10-yard
handicap while Robert Knowles, IT.
year -old Springfield college fresh
man, will have 25-yard handicap.
Meanwhile, Hagg, who is relaxing
here, disclosed that he rapidly is
becoming linguist during his track
tour of the United States in the
interests of Army Air Force charity.
On arrival in New York, June 6,
Hagg was unable to speak any Eng
lish and Stunned admirers.
however, uIlQeT IIlc IuItldSc VI
Pvt. Kjel Peterson of the U. S. Army
Air Corps who is his companion on
tour, Hagg has developed a vocab-
ulary of nearly 100 words and
phrases.
when he reached California,
Gunder could say good morning
and how are you to the various
pretty girl movie stars he met" said
Peterson. II think that his deisre
to talk with them made him learn
English even faster"
At service club luncheon here,
Hagg endeared himself to towns
folk by rising and saying in ex-
cellent English:
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry
I cannot speak English, therefore I
shall speak in Swedish"
He then spoke with Peterson as
an interpreter. Hagg has become so
attached to this village that he has
indicated he will remain here an
other week, leaving only in time to
appear in a Cleveland race week
hence.

will be released first regardless Of
their outlook for jobs. The govern
ment believes manpower shortages
are such that there will be no un-
employment program, at least in the
early stages of rehabilitation.
Problem Concerns Army.
This problem is one that princi-
pally concerns the army. When Ger
many is defeated 1t will be possible
to release certain number of men,
particularly those who have been
engaged in home defense and anti
aircraft services in Britain. There
will be no rehabilitation in the air
force or navy until after Japan S
defeat.
Advocates of the "block release
scheme see pressing needs Of indus
try ahead which could more easily
be filled if skilled men were re-
leased first, according to demand.
For example, the machine tool in
dustry BADLY needs skilled machin-
lists to convert factories from war to
civilian manufacture. On such work
must depend the capacity of fac
tories to absorb further manpower.
The building industry also is one
which will require an enormous
number of men during the next few
years.
The wholesale release of soldiers
from the Army would find the coun-
try facing one of the acutest housing
shortages in history.
Details of the Government scheme
have not yet been worked out. One
question will arise over the order
Evening star., 1943-12-13

/ of return of men from abroad. A
considerable army OF occupation
will be needed in Europe. Are those
now in the field and those who will
go into the field to be returned to
Britain as their age groups are de-
mobilized to be replaced by others
drafted later?
Labor Minister Ernest Bevin is
now drafting a bill to establish
tribunals to decide on claims to jobs
At the start of the war, the Govern
ment promised servicemen that jobs
would be held for them. 1t was
a shortsighted promise. There is
scarcely job in the country which
has not now been held by a success
sion of men. Does the original
holder have prior claim or the latest
holder? This will be one of the
knottiest questions.
There are many arguments that
the most highly skilled jobs should
continue to be held by the last
man in them since he probably had
been deferred because of his skill
But general ruling on this would
not be fair since many skilled men
have been drafted especially for
their skills. Hence, tribunals will
examine the claims of men for the
same jobs and determine which has
the highest claim.
Employers will have to guarantee
employment for at least six months
when taking a serviceman or woman
back but the decision as to which
man will get the job will not be left
