One of the high lights so far was
long, frank talk with 1t. Gen.
Malinovski in a little Cossack viii
lage. He opened up maps and talked
iii the warmest spirit of friendship
for the United States and Britain.
Incidentally, no commander I have
talked to has reported use of any
United States or British tanks or
planes in this drive southwest of
Stalingrad. but United States-made
trucks have played a big role in
transport.
Other conclusions:
Between 10000 to 100000 Germans
are surrounded in an area of about
2l6 square miles outside Stalingrad.
They're just an armed prison
camp" Gen. Malinovski said grimly,
"and they haven't chance"
I've talked to numerous German
pilots who have been shot down
trying to get supplies to this huge
group. They had been landing at
a place called Peitomnik. At one
time they sent over about 500 planes
daily. but this has dropped off to
about 100 with heavy losses.

tanks and planes to set up a pretty

WITH AMERICAN FORCES ON
GUADALCANAL, Jan. 4 de-
layed) Expert knowledge of
tides and currents around this
embattled island, gained through
years of pre-war shopping, is
enabling the japanese to keep
their otherwise isolated troops
on Guadalcanal adequately sup
piled with food by submarine.
The great majority of Japanese
killed in recent fighting appear to
have been in good physical condi-
ton, lean and -muscled. Amer
lean front-line officers agree it is
"wishful thinking" to believe that
the enemy will be annihilated ex-
cept in battle.
japanese submarines approach
parts Of the island held by their
own troops at night and cast loose
water tight oil drums or small RATS
loaded with food, and because of
their knowledge of tides and cur
rents good percentage of the food
reaches the beaches and is picked
up by the japanese garrison.
Much Slips Through.
American fighter planes and dive
bombers from Henderson Field pa =
troll the shoreline daily to shoot up
and burn as much of these supplies
AS possible, but much slips through
nevertheless.
Another, though smaller, source of
supply for the japanese troops since
their major conveys met disaster in
