DON'T LEAVE OUR SICK AND WOUNDED OUT IN COLD FOR CHRISTMAS
By DAVID CAMELON

Don't leave the sick and wounded men of Americas 'unwanted battalion out in the cold for Christnasp
 That appeal was made today by members of congress after Representative Andrew J. May of Kentucky, chairman of the House military Affairs Committee, told that body:
 ''I do not know if we will be able to draft vet erans mastering oupay bill and get it to the floor before Christrnasr
 That statement aroused instant anger on the part of congressman who heard it. Rep. William Lenke of North Dakota, said:
 T doubt whether the majority of the senate or house are willing to let the discharged service men remain out in the cold for Christmas.
 T do not think the mothers and fathers of America want the boys left cold, hungry and nis- .erable en Christmas. 4 1a24a3aT T urge every American parent who does not want that to happen 10 wire his congressman, de rnanding instant action on the Lernke bill"
 Len1ke's appeal is backed by virtually every member of congress. There may be various views in congress on the exact terms of the bill which should be passed; there is virtually none on the necessity for immediate action
 Majority Leader John w. Mccormack who has said there is logic in the principle of extending payment to the veterans over period of months, has called for action before Christmas. So has Mi nority Leader John w. Martin, Jr.

HAlSEYS PROPHECY

Jacksonville Register)
Adm Halsey. hero of the South Pacific,
predicts complete. absolute defeat for
the axis powers" this year. That is good
propaganda for our enemies, at whom
it is aimed But Americans should not
take him too literally. The only way to
hasten victory is to go all-Out now, deter
mined to fight as long as it takes
whether one year, or two or ten.
As in the last war, not even the best
informed heads of governments can fore
see the approximate time the war will
end There are too many unknown fac
tors, too many surprises, which is the
very nature of war. No admiral or gen
eral or prime minister or president can
predict with certainty what will happen
next month"; much less year hence.
OF course they can make guesses. The
only gueSSeS worth much are not those
field commanders. but of the high au-
thorities in Washington and London who
have the overall picture and control of
global strategy. To keep the record clear,
and as a warning against oVer-con1ldence,
it is important for the public to remem-
Der that those high authorities definitely
are not predicting final victory IN l943.
In his annual state of the union mes
sage to congress Thursday, President
Roosevelt assured the cheering senate
and house members that the war will be
won-possibly in 1914. he indicated-but
that a long, tremendous and costly task
in peace as we'll as war still lies ahead of
us.
Complete victory this year would neces-
state German surrender or defeat this
spring thus permitting allied concentra-e
ton for many months against Japan.
That is possible. But it is highly improb-
able.
Russia has long way to go before
driving out the invader. Both the Libyan
and Tunisian Offensives are hard and
slow going. We are not yet strong enough
to invade western Europe, and even the
promised four-figure steady bombing of
Germany is in the future. The sub men
ace is as bad as ever. The end is not in
sight in Europe, we are just beginning,
as Mr. Churchill says.

In addition, almost 200 italian

Both battles were being fought

An Allied communique reported
active patrolling by both Axis and
Allied forces in the forward area
between Bou Arada and Goubellat.
Royal Air Force Spitfires, making
offensive sweeps over the forward

On the lower Don front, the
Germans threw machines and men
lavishly into overnight counter

wards Shakhty, AZ miles from Res

down the Stalingrad- Black Sea
railroad toward Salsk, an important
junction on the line branching off

which at the height of their east
ward march carried German troops

sea
European observers report that
the Germans may attempt a stand
along the sea of AZov creating a
line which would extend from the
port Of NovorossiSk through ROStoV
to VOrOnezh on the upper don.
ESCAPE TO CRIMEA
1t seems more likely that, with
their backs to the sea and the Rus
sian fleet on guard there, the Ger
mans would be more likely OF fall
back to Rostov or. alternatively. es-
cape across the Kerch Strait into
the Crimea. The latter course
would be hazardous, because the
Russian fleet and air force would be
sure to try to prevent it.
That would make a line from
Rostov to Voronezh to defend the
Donets Basin and the Eastern
Ukraine. It is vital for such line
that Rostov be held as the south
ern anchor and the Germans are
expected to defend it stubbornlv
DIVISIONS GIVEN UP
They apparently have abandoned
hope of eXtricating the remnants
of % divisions pocketd far behind
the battle lines around Stalingrad.
They probably will try to keep this
army supplied by air transport un-
til spring, when there may be some
chance of a counteroffensive to re-
lieve it.
The German position in Russia is
becoming so serious that there is
a good chance that the Nazis are
drawing on their dWindling reserves
of manpoWer to bolster it.
This Is indicated IN DfoaocaSC
from Berlin by Gen. Kurt Dietmar,
leading German military authority,
which was heard in London. Diet
mar admitted the gravity of the
situation and said every man pos
sible must be sent to the front. He
called on the German people to be
prepared to endure greater hard
ships and assured them that the
needed troops will be sent

At Armavir the Russians would

The Germans apparently are IN
retreat from the Caucasus in the
face of Pussian drives which Sc
riously threaten to cut them off if
they do not get out.
The ease with which the Russians
have taken Georgievsk, Piatgorsky
and other towns on or near the
trans Caucasus railroad in the last
two DAYS supports the idea that
the Germans are not preparing to
make a stand in that region, but
intend to fall back to a defense line
anchored on RostOv, at the mouth
of the Don

Russians will be stolming RostoV

"A long controversy over the espl-

came to an abrupt end today with
the announcement that the for
eign office has demanded his re-
call
Foreign Minister Enrique Ruiz
Guinazu, in the most curt diplo-
matte note to the war to an Axis
country, instructed the Argentine
charge d'affairs in Berlin to de-
mand the recall of Niebuhr because
he was considered persona non

Guinazu said, has obtained Suffi-
cient proof that Niebuhr-abusing
his position and privileges-has
participated in actions incompati-
BILE with his diplomatic status and
with Argentine neutrality"
PRODDING BERLIN
Political observers commented on
the severe tone of the note, in
which 1t was revealed that the
government had twice prodded Ber-
lin for a reply to the supreme
courts request that Niebuhr be
placed at the disposal of Argentine
courts to face charges of heading
an espionage ring.
A German refusal finally was
received Jan. 9.
The foreign office announced
that discovery of Niebuhr's activi-
ties was a direct result of memor-
enda submitted by the United
States government.

DIG COAL

The good old American motto, Say
nothing and saw wood might now be
changed to stop scrapping and dig COAL
Harold Ickes, the governments Secretary
of Mean Jobs, as Solid Fuels Coordinator
has been trying to get the soft-coal mines
up to full production.
1t is one of the strange facts of this
crazy time that, in the face Of the biggest
war and greatest peril of our national
history, the coal industry has been oper-
ating on a basic schedule of five days
week and seven hours a day, making only
35 hours altogether. Secretary Ickes has
urged at least six days work week, in
view of the extreme war urgency. 10
that plea might we'll be added the eXcep-
tionally cold weather lately, requiring
more fuel for domestic use. In other ma
tions at war the miners day is nearly
twice as long.
Negotiations recently broke down over
the question whether the sixth day
should be voluntary or mandatory" John
L. Lewis, boss Of the coal miners, argues
eloquently as usual and makes difficult
terms What the nation needs is coal, not
