RUSSIA'S GAIN:
And the Experts

When the Germans surrendered
Kursk before the Russians cap
tured Rostov the Red army again
crossed up the military experts
who for weeks had been predicting
the opposite. But the fact that
Kursk was the major anchor point
on the Nazi winter line to fall only
added to the Importance of this
strategic victory for Russia.
1t is a city Of 10000 and a rail
way junction of vital Importance
to the Nazis. It was one Of three
points (Rostov and Kharkov were
the other two) which the German
radio once said must be held at
any price "of German blood" Ger
many had held the town since No
vember II, 1941, and its loss meant
that the Russians had preached
the Nazi winter line running from
Bryansk, Orel and Kursk to Khar-
kov, Voroshilovgrad and Rostov.
Fall of the latter point meant
the entrapment of the entire Nazi
force in the Caucasus but even the
Russians admitted that some of
the 100000 soldiers caught there
were escaping across the Kerch
peninsula and through Rostov
itself.
All along the line the advancing
Russians gained mile after mile
and with the territory gained vast
quantities Of military supplies and
hundreds of Nazi and Rumanian
nTisonerS.

Dear Mr. Editor:
The Peoples Voice of January %
I1943, carried an article under the cap
ton, More Adequate Finances For
u Is Urged. 1t appears, by this
article, that Mrs. Hazel Mumm Grover
of Deer Lodge, and president of the
Ealumni association, is asking. the peo-
pie of Montana for more liberal sup
port for the university and its needs.
And, to quote from this article: CDR.
E. O. Melby, the new university presi-
dent, advises us that the requests for
the next biennium are the minimum
figures at which the university can be
maintained at a reasonable level"
Dr. Melby gives us an itemized list
of the universities needs which are
as follows
Salaries and wage commitments
...-...--...--...--.--...----.---.- $40, 1864
Heat, light, water, power, gas
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 25,55OOO
Improvement taxes ............. $4,000
Ind. Accid. ms. --.---..--.... 100000
Janitor supplies ---....,-..... 2,150O0
Telephone exchange rentals 100000
Boiler inspection and insurance
l50.UO
Hardware, oils, greases, laundry,
etc. 2,410.O0
Current building repairs and replace
ments, furniture and fixture re-
pairs, requirements tools, etc.
100000
Postage, stationery, blanks, record
books, office supplies, telephone
and telegraph freight, express
and drayage ....-....1 11,750.00
Chemical and laboratory supplies
Magazines and periodicals 2,500.00
Library and reference books $4,000
Travel, publications and publicity
Catalogues, schedules, etc.,
scientific apparatus, tools, acct
dent insurance, petty equip
ment OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 100000
Miscellaneous -.-......-.........- 5,5OS.36
All of which makes a grand
total of o., 1880
DR.. Melby seemingly has advised:
For the first year this figure is $507,-
375 and the second year $512,375."
The reader will note, the grand total
in the itemized statement does not
seem to tally with either of the totals
to which DR.. Melby refers for the
needs of the university for the first
and second years. Perhaps my old
fashioned adding machine" was not
properly, however, the
reader may add for himself and | be-
ieve he will notice a difference of
exactly $2,400.00 lin favor of Dr. Mel
oy's adding machine), for the first
year and exactly $4,000 difference
or the second year (again in favor
If DR.. Melby's adding machine).
Within two years time there seems
o be a difference of $9,S0000 aside
rom the budgeted statement = it
night be a smart idea that the tax
payers investigate this matter for 49,
10000 is worth saving.
