Nazis Fail To Land
Food In Stalingrad
Doomed Divisions Now Less Than $4,000 OF Original
100000 Men; Russians Clear Three Great
Railroad Systems
(NEA Telephoto)
BY HENRY SHAPIRO
United Press STAR Correspondent

Moscow, Jan. 27-CUP)-Soviet
artillery blasted the remnants Of
the encircled German forces west Of
Stalingrad from two sides today
while the Russian 62nd Army moved
rapidly toward ousting the last en-
envy roops from within the Volga
city.
The army newspaper Red Star
said the Germans now had aban-
doned all the territory surrounding
Stalingrad but were clinging to the
wreckage of a few blocks Of build
ings within the city.
A last attempt was made a few
days ago to supply the doomed Ger
man divisions west Of the city-now
split into two pockets and number
ing less than 10000 Of their original
100000 men-but big Nazi air trans
ports carrying arms and food were
unable to find a landing between the
time the German transports were
summoned and the hour they ar
rived, the Red army had frightened
the moose about the 20 trapped d.
visions and had occupied all possible
landing space.
Supreme Sacrifice
British military observers re-
garded the liquidation Of the trap
ped German Sixth Army at Stain
grad as probably the greatest mill
tary sacrifice in history. They said
Adolf Hitler's prestige as leader
appeared to be one Of the main rea-
sons for the sacrifice, but that the
strategic importance Of holding rail-
roads, which the Russians now have
cleared, also was a factor. They
pointed out that the lack Of German
efforts to relieve the trapped divi-
sions marked the first time the
Axis had failed to make a major
counter-attack under such condi-
tions.)
The entire German 534th infantry
regiment surrendered in the Stain
grad pocket today and part of the
609th regiment, including its staff
Officers, was wiped out by merci-
less Soviet attacks.
Group after group Of Germans
were reported sllrrendering on the
Voronezh front, where innumerable
Axis forces had been surrounded.

Casablanca Farley Basis
of Master War Setup
for 1913
OFFENSIVE AGAINST
HITLER BLUE-PRTNTED
Operations Against Enemy
May Be CIimaxed Within
10 Months
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS
UNITED Press Foreign EditOr)

London, January 81. -
(UP) - The ten-day meet
ing of President Roosevelt
and Winston Churchill at
Casablanca was believed to-
day 20 have laid the basis Of
a master war plan for 1943,
designed to bring about the
unconditional surrender"
of Axis forces in Europe.
Despite huge obstacles - partic-
ularly the constantly intenSifying
Nazi submarine warfare = it APP
peared obvious today that Allied
plans were blue-printed at Casa
blanca for the purpose Of bringing
offensive operations against Adolf
Hitler and his allies to q climax
within 10 months.
It seemed equally obvious that
official communicates and reports
have told only a small fraction OF
the decisions and events at Casa
blanca which some quarters be-
lieved may produce tremendous
events" in the near future.
BombsheIl for Axis
The Casablanca news broke on
the Axis with the violence and
suddenness of bombshell, ex
ploding at the darkest moment Of
the war-thus far--for Germany
and Italy. Germany was echoing
with tidings of disaster on the
eastern front and Italy had not yet
nssinilated the stark news Of the
loss of her colonial crown jewel -

Roosevelt's Promise
Carried Out Today
Target Against Nazi Naval installations Secret; Raid
Regarded as Step Toward DemOlishing
Berlin
BY JAMES McGLINCY


London, Jan. 27-(UP)-American
bombs from American planes crash
ed on German soil today for the
first time in this war, carrying into
action the promise Of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Chur-
chill to batter the Axis into uncon-
ditional surrender.
The raid was made against Ger
man naval installations and pre-
sumably was a continuation Of the
round -the-clock assault Of the
Royal Air Force and the United
States Army Air Force against
German submarine bases and repair
depots.
Flying Fortresses and Liberator
bombers-big four-motored planes
briStling with .50-caliber machine
guns-made the attack.
The target still was a secret, al
though most speculation here CEN
tered on one of Germany'S north
western ports = Hamburg, Kiel,
Brern, Flensburg, DoStock and Lue-
beck.
It was a great day for American
bomber crews who have waited inn
patiently for weeks to drop bombs
on German soil. Fortresses and
liberators have been over occupied
France several times, but hereto
fore their deepest penetration into
enemy territory was a raid on Dec.
20 against Romilly-Sur-Seine. 70
miles areas of Paris.
There was no immediate indica-
ton how deep into enemy territory
the big bombers penetrated. The
authoritative statement merely said:
UNITED States Army Air force
Flying Fortresses and Liberators
attacked naval installations in Ger
many today"

DeGaulIe and Giraud at
Odds on Restoration of
Republic Laws
N. AFRICAN POLITICAL
SITUATION UNCHANGED
Both Express to Other
Strong Desire to Bring
About Union
BY JOHN A. PARIS
UNITED Press staff Correspondent


London, January 81. -
(UP) 49, British and Ameri-
can leaders will make
another attempt to bring to-
gether General Charles De
Gaulle, fighting Franch
leader, and General Henri
Honore Giraud, chief of the
French North African re-
gine, who failed to agree on
major political issues at
Casablanca, well-informed
said today.
A fighting French spokesman
disclosed, however, that economic
and military missions would be ex-
changed soon between De Gaulle
and Giraud. It was understood that
in their talks during the Roosevelt
Churchill conference, the estranged
French leaders had agreed upon
economic and military coordination
and other minor problems.
It was understood that De Gaulles
French National Committee would
select the personnel for the missions,
probably on Friday. The De Gaul-
lists then will leave for Algiers to
work out military and economic
problems. The committee was re-
ported reliably to be in session to-
day to discuss the missions.
The spokesman said de Gaulle
and Giraud each would be informed
Of the others military maneuvers,
although there would be no fusion
Of their forces. The economic con-
situations would include trading be-
tween North Africa and those parts
Of the French empire held by the
Fighting French.
Pessimism Reigns
The missions will not deal in po-
ltical problems, he said. The basic
political differences still have not
been touched, but more optimistic
quarters believed the political situa-
ton might be worked out in the
future under arrangements by which
de Gaulle and Giraud might CO.
operate without embarrassment
Most competent quarters were more
pessimistic, however.
It appeared that Gen. Georges
Catroux, Fighting French COM
mander in the Near East and ma
tional commissioner at-large, and

Organize to Fight
Racial Prejudice

HARTFORD, Conn - Renewed
attention to the elimination OF re-
ligious and racial discrimination
was urged upon the Connecticut
legislature by Gov. Raymond E.
Baldwin in his inaugural message.
We abhor religious and race
discrimination as being un-Ameri-
can" Governor Baldwin declared,
but we cannot accomplish all
that we should by merely passing
laws saying that there shall be no
religious prejudice or race dis
elimination. We must practice
what we preach.
I'VE have many thousand Ne
groes in Connecticut. The best
help that we can give them is
equal opportunity for jobs. In
this work education plays an i'm
portant factor. 1 recommend the
appointment of a commission to
be composed of both Whites and
Negroes to work for the better
ment of the Negroes particularly
in the matter of training for and
placement in profitable jobs. We
started such a work in 1889 but
il has not been continued during
the past two years"
