The fall of Staraya Russa, admitted
by the Nazis, who call it an "evacuation
to straighten lines" just about iquidates
Hitler so far as Northern Russia is con-
cerned. This was the strongest German
fortress between Smolensk and Lenin-
grad, and the Nazis continued to cling
to it though they were virtually outflank-
ed there both north and south. Since the
Russian recapture Of Novgorod, Staraya
Russa has been expected to go.
1t was the scene of bitter fighting IN
previous Russian winter campaigns. The
Russians once had it encircled. but had
to fall back. 1t is not of as immediate
importance, perhaps, as the Cherkasy
pocket where the Russians have finished
the cleanup of some $4,000 Germans by
capturing l l 900 and killing the rest; but
its taking does free the hands of the Rus
slams in the north, for their operations
along the Baltic and against Finland.
In the Cherkasy. or Korsun, sector it
may be noted that the $4,000 army liquid
ated represented 10 German divisions
plus brigade This would indicate that
the strength of German divisions, sup
posed to average around $4,000, may
have been reduced to around 5000 by the
savage fighting in Southern Russia.

the Arabian American or STAN

One of the concessions made to
the government in its agreement
to build the pipeline, he said, is
that the companies promise that
they will not sell any Of the Saudi
Arabian oil to enemies of the
United States
Are we to understand from this
that if the government does not
build this pipeline for the COM

emies of our country
" Voorhis said either the United

construction of the pipeline at all
or it should have some control ever
how the oil will be sold and should
share in the revenue from the sale

flation There exists a patriotic
responsibility on the part of all
manufacturers Of consumers goods
to produce utilitarian, durable
products at cost which the aver
age consumer is able to pay" wrote
Judge Vinson. Therefore, he or
dered that excessive profits should
be prevented in such manufacture,
and he ruled that where profits OF
any manufacturer were less than
double his 1869 average he could
make per cent on this new busi-
ness, while if his profits were now
more than double the 1868
profit, he'd have tc make the goods

BUSINESSMEN IN CfROAR
This order cauced more ruckus
than anything the Office OF Eco

nessmen came storming down to
see Judge Vinson tC know If this
was to be government policy on all
civilian goods production during
reconversion and in postwar Pc
riod. Did it apply TO flatirons and

hot that Judge Vinson had to suck
back part of his order, by saying
it was to apply only to textiles
work clothes, work gloves and stuff
like that.

dead set against the directive say
ing it is no way to get production.
Their argument is that OPA should
roll back the prices on chintzes and
other unessential fancy weave fab

on denims and work clothes and
