Larger Today Than
In Several Months
Spokesman for Packers
See Enough En- Route to
Meet All Requirements

Supplies Of beef in Washington
stores were larger today than they
have been for many months. Rep
resentatives of the large packing
companies predicted, meanwhile
that consumers within day or two
would be able to buy about as much
beef as their ration stamps would
permit.
The increased supply here is the
result of the marketing of many

the packing company representa-
tives said. Pastures are drying in
the Midwest, causing farmers to
move their beef to market.
Beef began coming into Washing

than at any time during the last
six months. dealers said.
Steaks and roasts are expected to
remain plentiful for several weeks

Germans Facing
Caucasus Disaster
By LOUIS +. KEEMLE
limited Press War ANALYST

The position of the Germans in
the Caucasus rapidly is becoming
desperate as the Russians close in
from the north and east and are
now threatening from the west.
The Russians are reported to be
preparing. or have already GGarted
an offensive on the Black sea coast
# the Caucasus. The report comes
from neutral sources in Stockholm
while the Berlin radio, heard in
London. said that fighting already
had begun in the Novorossisk- Tuap-
Sc region of the coast.
FACE DISASTER
The Germans may not be able
to cXtricate themselves from the
Red army trap and thus face the
possibility of disaster.
A Russian drive on the Black sea
coast would be direct threat TO
The German line of retreat. Tacti-
clans said the army which is with
drawing from the oil field region
could escape across the narrow
Kerch strait into the Crimca. where
it probably could hold, bolstered by
the German forces already there.
Stockholm reports of the new of
fensive say it is q combined land,
air, and naval operation. The use
of the navy suggests that the Rus
slams intend to block the strait,
which connects the Sea of AzOv
with the Black sea. and destroy am
German force which attempts to
escape.
BY q continuation of air and sea
power, the Russians should be able
to do it. Tho Black sea fleet is
strong and it is intact. Since the
fall of Sevastopol it has been able
to base at ports on the Caucasus
coast.
This new Russian threat is COM
bined with an even more imminent
one to the key ciuy OF RoStov at
the mouth of the Don. Russian
forces advancing southwark from
the south bend OF the Don have
reached Bolshayaorlovka, Cnly IS
miles north Of the city.
