news REVIEW
A Brief Summary
OF Outstanding
News Events
RELIEVED

e news OF the week TO come
from the Russian fighting front
was the announcement that
Stalingrad's 1852 day siege had
been broken and the Nazi war
machine captured on the out
skirts of the city. Official Rus
sion dispatches stated that the
brave defenders of the city had
captured a score of generals,
hundreds of other officers and
thousands of soldiers plus Sc
locomotives, three armored
trains, 61,102 trucks, $50 planes
10000 rifles, 1,150 tanks, 235 am
munition and supply dumps and
a large amount of other equip
ment.
It was reported that German
soldiers walked into the city and
asked, where is the place to
surrender?"
Meanwhile on other sectors OF
the Russian front the Red
troops had advanced to within
40 miles of Rostov on the Don
and were forcing the Germans
back near Kursk. The town of
Kupyansk was also captured by
the Soviets.
U. S. = JAP BATTLE
