Reds Seize Number
OF Towns Despite
Axis Counter-Blows

MOSCOW, March 1-tUP)-So-
Wet forces rumbling westward To-
ward the Dneiper, seized chalh
of villages west of KharkoV today
while the Germans hurled thou
sands of troops into furious coun-
terattacks agingst the Russian
flank to the southeast.
Perhaps significantly, the Soviet
high command in its midnight
communicate for the first time IN
recent weeks referred to fighting
in the area" of KramatorSk, llo
miles southeast of Kharkov, rather
than southwest" of that import
ant railroad city as heretofore.
GERMAN CLAIMS
The German radio claimed that
Axis troops had recaptured both
Kramatorsk and Lozovaya, so
miles west northwest of Krama-
torsk. by Storm
/ The Germans were throwing fresh
j troops into action on the kramat-
orsk front as fast as they arrived
and buttreSsing their attacks with
/ scores of tanks. One town changed
j hands several times in the course
of = days fighting, the midnight
i Communique said, but by night the
i Soviets were firmly III possession
j of it after killing 500 German OF
/ liCers and men.
j NOT MENTIONED
The midday cOmmunique did not
mention the KramatOrsk front, bltt
reported the repulse of counter
attack southwest of Voroshilovgrad
/ at the eastern end of the German
/ salient in the Ukraine and said
/ that pursuing Soviet forces captur-
/ ed an inhabited locality. More
than 100 Germans were killed and
/ prisoners and booty were captured,
the communique said.
TWO-DAY BATTLE
During a tWo-day battle that
ended yesterday southwest Of Voro-
shilovgrad, 200 Germans were kill
ed and three enemy tanks were
disabled, the midnight bulletin
said In another sector, the Rus
slams repulscd counterattaCk and
drove the enemy back to his initial
positions after inflicting heavy
/ losses.
The chain of villages west of
KharkOV fell to Soviet troops after
fighting in which two enemy in
fantry companies were annihilated.
TWenty-three trucks loaded with
supplies were captured, the COM
munique reported.

forces are cutting into Axis ship
ping in the Mediterranean. Some
Axis ships still get through, but
the flow of reinforcements is being
severely reduced.
1t seems likely that Rommel
eventually will fall back ON a line
of passes including Gafsa, Sidi Bou
Zid, Faid and Pichon. He must
hold that line or risk the loss of
railroad hugging the east side
OF the Ousseltia valley. which now
is one of his main communication
lines.

ENEMY MAKES JABS

Fighting yesterday in the Beja
alca-chief scene of the German
thrusts in their attempt to throw
tie Allies off balance - died down
in size yesterday, but the enemy
spent most of the day making jabs
at our lines.
In the southern sector the Ger
mans continued to retire toward
GafSa.
United Press correspondent Phil
Ault, writing from the front, indi-
Gated that the Allies had occupied
Feriana and Thelptc He told of

Air Help Cheered
In North Africa

ON THE NORTHERN TUNISIA
FRONT, March l-UP) - There
were six enemy tanks-big boys,
probably Mark VI's-massed north
of the Mateurbeja road when a
bomber went in and dropped two
bombs squarely into the middle of
them
British soldiers threw their he'll
NETS into the air and cheered. And
we'll they might, for troops in this
area never before had such air sup
port as they are receiving today.
The British bombers caught Rom
mel's supply columns in a narrow
valley above Beja yesterday, There
was a thick fog lying across the
valley and it was not an ideal day
for bombing.

Allies Gain i'm unisia

ALLIED ADPUAR1 EMS, Norun
Africa, March l - tUP) - Allied
forces on the northern front have
checked all enemy thrusts with the
aid of a dawn-to- o-dusk air attack,
and in the southern sector of Tu
nisia there were indications that
the town of Feriana had been oc-
cupied by ang:o-American troops.
The Allied aerial attack was de-
scribed by officers here as mag
nificent"-a term seldom used by
conservative military men. 1t in
cluded one of the heaviest attacks
of the war on Cagliari. Sardinia,
an Axis reinforcement base. Re-
ports said that flying fortresses
had caused heavy damage among
ships. docks, warehouses, and the

Waves Are
One Year Old
4l,OOO Women I'm
Service This Year

This week marks the first an
niversary of the WAVES of the
United States Navy.
Created by an act of Congress,
signed by President Roosevelt on
July 80, 1912, the WAVES enlist
and commission women for service
in the Women's Naval Reserve.
For the first time in the history
of the Navy, a woman was COM
missioned as a naval officer. Mil
dred H. McAfee, president of We'll
lesley. College, was named a Lieu
tenant Commander and made Di-
rector of the WAVES. Within a
short time, enlisted women were
appearing in the Navy blue.
Young women between the ages
of 20 and 36 may enlist in the
WAVES. There are Is centers for
training enlistees, aside from
Naval hospitals. All recruits re-
ceive their initial indoctrination at
Hunter College, New York City.
Many WAVES are assigned to
shore stations on active duty,
while others are transferred for
specialized schooling at one of the
"a trade schools now available to
WAVES.
More than so different duties
are open to women in the Navy.
Every WAVE has the opportunity
to advance herself and may apply
for officer training after complet-
ing six months service.

meeting brought it out that the
Scale Workers was the lesser of
several evils. He mentioned the
CIO, MESA, the Scale Workers
Union. He also said, "The CIO is
knocking at your door, and they'll
be in here if you start filming peo-
pie for not attending meetings"
Grievance Procedure Suspect
Principal of the objections of the
scale workers to the Scale Work
ers Union is the grievance proce-
dure which has caused considerable
trouble due to failure of the union
committee to adjust grievances in
a satisfactory manner. Lees res
ignation confirms the workers
opinion of the union.
Rumors are now going through
the plant that there must be some
thing radically wrong with the
union when fellow like Lee, who
is easy TO get along with, revolts." >"
Mr.. Koontz, Scale Worker presi-
dent, is having a great deal of diff
fieulty in getting somebody to re-
place Mr.. Lee on the committee;
several of those already ap-
preached have refused to accept
because they are sincere in their
desire to do their best for the
workers.
Workers of the company are
sympathizing with Preside
Koontz, whom they say has a tough
and thankless job. They are won

union when he is apparently sim
cere in his efforts TO promote the
workers welfare but finds it inn
possible with the company domi-
mating his every move.

In addition to these, in time of

of these, of course, are the present

others.

If city officials were paid on the

total of SO Council meetings.
In contrast to the records Of the
eight councilmen who have missed

are pointing to the record of
Thomas Burke, vice-president of
Local II, UAW-CIO and candi-
date for city Council, who never
missed single meeting during his

Want Reliable Representatives
In an investigation among the
10000 workers who are members
of Local II, and without mention
ing the absentee record of the
present City Council, the TOLEDO

that one of the things most desired
by the workers was reliable men
who attend Council meetings reg
ularly.
A cross-section of opinion will
be given in this paper next week
showing the qualities which the
workers desire in their city repre-
sentatives, and absenteeism was
condemned almost unanimously by
all those who were questioned
about what they thought the
qualifications of office seekers to
Council should be.

United States.
THE PRESIDENT
According to our constitution,
the President of the United States
must be native born and thirty
five wears of age at the time OF
his election.
The President, contrary to the
opinion of most people, IS not
elected directly by the people. HIS
election is accomplished by use CT
what is called the electoral college
delegates who are elected by the
people at the time OF the preSi-
Dental election.
When you go to the polls at
national election, your ballot may
be printed with the names OF the
individuals who are candidates for
the office of president; but you
are actually casting your ballot
for a delegate who will vote Tor
vour choice when the electoral
college meets in the month follow
ing the election at which you vote,
HEAD OF GOVERNMENT
The President of the United
States is the executive head OF
government. He is the commander
in chief of the army and navy
He has the power of veto over acts
of the Congress, which, in his
opinion, can not be properly exc
cuted.
When an act is received from the
Congress by the President, he has
ten days in which to exercise one
of three alternatives. The first is
TO sign the act signifying his ap-
proval. Second, to allow the ten
DAYS to elapse without approval
or veto, if he disagrees with the
contents of the act but can not
find any obstacle to its execution.
Third, he may veto the act giving
his reasons for SO doing.
The executive department Of
government headed by the Presi-
dent is made up Of several de-
psrtments, the heads of which are
appointed by the President and
collectively are called his cabinet.
These administrative department
heads in most cases bear the title
of secretary.
The departments are as follow;
State (takes care Of our rela-
tionships with other countries) },
Treasury collects our taxes and
accounts for our dough-, War
controls the Army and all navi-
gable waters within the bounda-
ries of the country, Navy (con-
trolls the Navy and the Marine
Corp.), Labor (you may be inter-
ested in this, controls work shops
and factories as they come under
Federal Law. 1t controls health
and safety standards for women
workers in industry and complies
and publishes statistics on various
labor conditions throughout the

Pensioners May
Do Farm Work

Persons receiving benefits under
the old-age and survivors insur-
ance program of the Social Sc
curity Board may accept work in
agriculture without such employ
ment affecting their benefits, it
was pointed out today by S. II.
0urbacher, manager Of the Toledo
Held office.
"Under the provisions Of the
Social Security Act and its amend
ments, agricultural work is not
considered covered employment
within the scope of the Act" said
Mr.. Ourbacher. Persons who are
receiving monthly benefits pro-
vided for wage earners who have
retired from active work or bene-
fieiaries who are receiving surviv-
orship payments are eligible TO ac-
eept agricultural work at any time
without such employment interfer-
ing with their benefit status. Farm
work was not covered by the orig
inal nor the amended Social Sc
eurity Act. Benefit payments for
persons entitled began January /,
1910.
"In view of the shortage Of help
in the labor market, no doubt
many persons who had retired
from service will return to work
during the emergency, as the gov
ernment has appealed for those
able TO accept employment TO do
all possible in aiding the war ef-
fort. Nationwide figures show
that more than 100000 persons
who could have retired at age So
are continuing to work during the
war period.
