"After a sanguinary battle during which our troops destroyed 10 German tanks and about 800 Hitlerites, our troops retired to new defensive positions," it said. Coupled with the announcement of these developments less than 80 miles northwest of Stalingrad was a statement that German and Rumanian yesterday to have 'been driven back several miles in an action above Kotel- nikovski, itself 95 miles southwest of "went over to the" offensive." Bodies of 1,500 Germans who crossed the Kuban river in the Krasnodar region were reported to have littered a corn field after a one-hour battle with the Cossack- paced defenders of the western Caucasus.

Battle Of The Bees; A War That Sugar Ration Cards Will End BY TOM MADDOX Wide World Features Indianapolis, Aug.

19. All-out honey production In Indiana Is periled by the due to an acute-need of "sweetenin 1 Young bees are killing off their elders In a fierce war of survival, so that they can cat the remaining honey stores themselves. Hundreds of Hoosler apiarists are taking time out from other vital farm production in an effort to avert this "civil war." Premature mild April weather tricked the bees into raising an unusual number of offspring which consumed most of the reserve honey stores. At the same time, wartime sugar rationing prevented beekeepers from supplying food needed to tide the bees over to the nectar flow in late August, and early fall. Indiana, ranked as the eighth honey-producing state in the nation, is foremost in honey originating from clover, and this year's Hoosier clover is having a run of "bad luck." Apiculturists point out that city and farm folk alike will be affected, because the golden gooey stuff has found its way into home and industrial uses.

It's in hand lotions, candy bars, ice cream, cough and cold remedies, it flavors tobacco and cures smoking pipes. Bakeries already are using a thlfd of the annual crop, and the U. S. department of agriculture is urging housewives to can and cook with honey as a sugar substitute. Indiana beekeepers have asked government to relax sugar rationing to alleviate this current threat to the bee industry.

Grant ing such a plea would set no precedent since cows have been given ration cards when veter inarians deem it necessary to their good health and better production. A. O. Smith of Mi. Vernon, one of the foremost honey producers in southwest Indiana, that unless bees are fed sugar in large proportions at once, hundreds of bee colonies will die before the fall nectar flow.
