Won't Settle Problem

I'm not doubling Young Amer
ica's ability TO succeed in any
thing il tackles and for which it
has been trained. But l can't
believe that a Student Land
Army would settle our far flung
agricultural problem.
The very program you out
line would be proof Of that. How
much profit can possibly be left
for any farmer who feeds, houses
and supplies such complicated
service 10 so many Assistants ?"
Yes, Hitler's Youth can take

toddle. German youngsters en-
dure discipline. hardships and
basic training which would appall
Young Americans and bring
their outraged parents shrieking
around our ears.
Farm work doesn't correspond
with vacation times nor adjust
itself TO widely varied terri
tories. It's an all year round
procedure requiring trained
muscles and adult viewpoints.

on the farm knows how to carry

right out loud. Now comes one
of the multitudinous answers.
Myra Vim Jordan is San

signs a mighty competent and
pleasant one. Last year when
the unharvested crops had every
one running in dizzy circles,
Miss NJ. w. J. served as teacher

pute with Marshal Erwin Rom
mel. commander in Northern
italy.
KeSSelrlng was transferred to
an unannounced post. Another
commander. who was not

ern Italy where he will be
under Rommels orders, the
newspaper added.
The Berlin radio said
Mussolini had received Rom
mel. and in a long confer
ence present military prob
lens were discuSsed."D
La Suisse added that the
kesselrinp Rommei dispute
dated back to RommelS earlier
victorious push toward Egypt.
Although then outranked by
Kesselring, Rommel refused to
take orders from Kessening or
Italian generals. Rommels
feats won him promotion to
field marshal's rank, equal with

Germans Rush
Fresh Divisions
Into Kiev Battle
Trying to Hold Back
Reds Long Enough
To Evocuote City
BY The Associated Press

By The Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. l4.-Fresh djvi-
sions were being rushed to Kiev
by the German high command
in an effort to fend off the Rus
sian drive against the flaming
city long enough to eVacuate
troops and equipment, Reuters
dispatch from Moscow said to-
day.
The dispatch asserted that fight
ing about the Ukrainian capital is
the bloodiest since the battles for
Orel and Belgorod last summer.
With the capitulation of Kiev ap-
parently inevitable. the fall of three
other major German defense bases
on the Russian front-Melitopol
Zaporozhe and Gomel-also ap-
peared imminent as Red Army forces
tore new gaps in Wavering Nazi de-
fenSes.
Fighting In MeIitopol.
Soviet communicate broadcas
from Moscow said Russian troops
already were fighting in the streets
OF Melitopol and were battling the
Germans on the outskirts of the
other three. Capture of all four
cities would jeopardize the whole
German position in Russia and
might force gigantic withdrawal
OF the Nazi armies to secondary de-
tense lines many miles to the west.
Soviet troops. breachir formid-
able German defenses in the South
Ukraine, forced the Molochna River
and surged into the very center of
Melitopol in the face of desperate
resistance on the part of the de-
tenders, the Soviet bulletin said.
The city is on one of two escape
railways open to the German earri-
sons In the Crimea. Its capture
would be milestone in the Russian
drive to isolate the Crimea from
the north
The drive for Melitopol began
four DAYS ago. Red Army vanguards
broke through two lines of antitank
traps on the eastern bank of the
Molochna, the Russians said. forced
passage of the river and blasted
their way on through a wide nest of
blockhouses, pillboxes and commun-
lcatlon trenches to smash into the
city from the north and south.
1000 Germans Slain.
The Russians counted 1000 Ger
man dead in their initial drive on
the city. Thirty eight tanks, l6 self
propelled guns and IS field guns
were destroyed, the Moscow bulletin
said
A four-day battle to the north of
Melltopol was said to have brought
Soviet advance columns to within 5
miles of Zaporozhe, on the southern
end OF the Dnieper River bend.
Thirty enemy strong points were
shattered. several thousand Ger
mans killed and stores OF war ma
terlal were captured in this drive.
Moscow declared This advance also
