More Hospital Beds Asked
By Northeast Conference

The Northeast Conference of Citi-
zens' Associations last night joined
a long list of local organizations in
asking for further hospital facilities
for the District.
Unanimous support was given the
resolution offered by Marvin M. Nc
Lean, president of the Brookland
group. Mr.. Mclean cited the pub
Lefty now being given the hospital
bed shortage in Washington, and
asked in his resolution that the con-
dition be corrected.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that nearly all schools in the
Northeast section need repair to the
buildings or grounds, but a blanket
resolution" was not offered at this
time. It was suggested that each
member association of the confer
ence fight for its own school needs"
by this method we may accom-
plish more toward getting the nee
essary repairs" one delegate pointed
out.

railroad from Likhaya to Stalingrad.
40 Miles from Likhaya.
Little has been said recently of
the army fighting its way due south
along the Moscow-Rostov railroad
except that German resistance there
is stubborn and that the Soviet ad-
vance continues. That army was
last reported about 40 miles north
Of Likhaya.
The advance column at Tatsins-
kaya is about SO miles from Likhaya.
The advance to Nikolayevskaya
put another column of the wedge 81
miles from Rostov.
The flank to the right of the
wedge is formed by the army that
stormed down from Stalingrad
through Kotelnikovski and was last
reported near Zimovniki, on the
Stalingrad Salsk Tfkhoretsk rail-
way. Salsk furnished the chief OBJ
jective of this thanking army. From
it railroad runs 100 miles north
west to Rostov.
Push Past Elisha.
The Russians also said that their
troops driving south of Stalingrad
into the Kalmyck steppe had pushed
past Elisha and that less than 40
miles of the fiat desert-nke country
now separates them from the Rus
sian advance guard in the north
Caucasus.
Reuters reported from Moscow
that the distance between the
armies in the Kalmyck and in the
north Caucasus had been re-
duced to 40 miles.)
Several points, not identified, were
reported occupied by this southwark
moving body despite the resistance
of fresh German reinforcements, in
GLIDING elite troops.
The Germans were said to be still
attempting to fly supplies to their
forces trapped before Stalingrad and
transport planes were being downed
daily, the Russians said.
Southwest of velikie Luki, a vio-
lent enemy attack was repulsed with
the slaughter of more than 400 Ger
mans and elsewhere on the central
front German counterattacks were
repulsed, Soviet authorities an
nounced.

Allied losses were said to be rela-
lively small.
The final chapter of the battle
still was being written today in the
Huon Gulf off Lac, the Japanese
base on the New Guinea coast which
presumably was the goal OF the con-
voy.
Some 100 miles to the south,
meanwhile, Allied troops were re-
ported to have completed their en-
velopment of the remnants of the
enemy's Papuan army on Sananan-
da Point.
The Allied communicate said that
the entrenched enemy force was
facing certain destruction" and
that with its elimination the Papuan
Peninsula would be completely
cleared of Japanese troops.
The primary object of the Papuan
campaign, humiliation of 1t. Gen.
Tomatore Horii's army which only
last September drove to within 80
miles of Port Moresby, now can be
considered accomplished, the bulle-
tin declared.
Had Many Crack Units.
This army, the communique added,
was approximately $4,000 strong and
represented parts of at least four
divisions, which included infantry,
engineers, anti-aircraft batteries,
mountain artillery, cavalry, con-
struction battalions, crack landing
units and medical and service de-
tachments.
In addition to the enemy forces
annihilated in the land fighting, sew
eral thousand troops of unidentified
units were drowned or destroyed
while attempting to land, the bulle-
tin said.
Gen. Horii himself was reported
slain on December 81.
Enemy aircraft definitely known
to have been destroyed since the be-
ginning Of the Papuan campaign
were listed by Allied headquarters as
1888. Eighty lone were reported prob
ably destroyed and lit damaged-a
total of SOL.
Naval losses inflicted on the Japa-
nese by Allied airmen during the
same period, including attacks on
the New Britain area, were listed
as follows:
Sunk or seriously damaged, 6
cruisers, 10 destroyers, l destroyer
tender, 2 seaplane tenders, 2 gun
boats, A large to medium merchant
ships, 80 small to medium merchant
ships and between $50 and 200 land
ing barges.

he has shown an honest and fair
attitude in meeting these charges
Yet the magnitude of the viola
lions and the widespread public in
terests involved convince me that
probation is not justified and that
substantial punishment should be
imposed in an effort to deter others
prone to violate the rationing laws
Every gallon of gas obtained by
dealers and car owners beyond that
to which they are legally entitled
reduces to that extent the supply
available for legitimate needs OF
honest dealers and customers, the
justice pointed out.
He reminded the prisoner that
every Illicit transaction directly
threatens the purchasing value OF
coupons held by all honest citizens. u
"The revelations in this and other
cases." Justice Proctor said, point
to the likelihood, if not the GER
tainty, that violations such as here
appear are widespread in this and
other areas. II that is so, it may be
a factor In depicting the supply for
legitimate distribution and causing
the recent onerous restrictive meas
ures against the honest holders OF

The rationing system cannot sue.
coed without general public support
and that support cannot be had
without confidence Of the people in
the integrity of the system, the
justice observed.
Il do not mean to insinuate
against the good faith of any par.

ever, the sorry fact remains that
vast and unknown quantities Of
coupons have somehow gotten out
OF the rationing agencies into lille

Otherwise" he said, public con-
f1dence and respect will altogether

collapse and chaos.
Warning to Others.
my plain duty here is to dispose
OF this case in way which will best
serve the public interests and lend
support to the efforts of officials and
citizens to build up confidence and
respect for the rationing system, to
the end that every good citizen may
be assured Of receiving his fair share
