152. WASHINGTON. August 10. 1D42 While the Nazis have Inched forward to the north and south of the approaches to Stalingrad the center still remains west of tlie Don River. To the northwest of Stalingrad fa Die vicinity of Kletskava, the Reds have made heavy counter attacks, and the same is true to the southwest of Stalingrad where the Reds have fcfer.

an strcr.slj at mvovski The railroad i mining from Stalingrad through the latter place has enabled the Reds to bring up reinforcement, and supplies. The heaviest Unhung to the south of Rostov has been in the area of Belava Glma. and it is In this sector the Nazis have made their farthest advance. The Nazis claim parachute troops have been landed at points on the oil lir.e as fai as Kursa- vaka, but the Reds claim that the parachutists have been mopped up. While Benjamin Franklin In 1784 envisioned the trouble 10,000 troops dropped from balloons by parachutes could occasion, his vision did not extend as far as modern machine guns, tommy-guns, and other common lethal weapons of today.

In Isolated places, parachute troops can be landed with a fair degree of success, but the Quantity of supplies and equipment possible. Is small. If the men landed from parachutes are to be In condition to "resent" any opposition they may have to meet, they must not be overloaded or else they will drop so fast they will not be fit to put up a fight after landing--at least for some time. Under limited Conditions, the glider Is much the supenor, as the glider can bring down rather heavy loads ol both men and equipment, and laiiu easily. While the parachutist can- rot "resent" attacks as he Is coming uown, me rciure is true of the men in the glider for they can have their "offices" open for business while they are being towed along, and be ready for expanded "business" when they land.

At the time this Is being written, the Nazis have confessed that the Reds have been throwing In heavy contingents of ments and masses of tanks, including some real The sire to take, If "thumb-twiddling 1 ever gives way to making war The indications arc that the Nips have also occupied a few more islands In the Aleutian group while they are busily engaged in organizing and reinforcing their Kiska and Attu bases.

In spite of these air raids Rommel Is getting In supplies and reinforcements faster than Britain Pulling off a stunt once In six or eight months such as "Jimmy Doollttle" and his "Shangri La 1 gang put over on the Nips. Is excellent tonic for newswirter's cramp, but not the way to make war.

The modem technique appears to be for someone to pull off a stunt of some kind, then come home for the customary medal, and then rest on the more or less earned laurels for an Indefinite time It Is suspected that SERVING UNCLE SAM Death Comes Quickly To Bert Morris, 68 I of i Si V-MAIL TO ARMED FORCES OUTSIDE CONTINENT Legion Post Will Sponsor Local Salvage Campaign The Lloyd L. Horton Post No. 545 of the American If It were not for the newspapers, radio, and men Lug pictures, we might spare time enough to get down to the real business of making war Fifteen years ago when military aviation was lighting for an extremely meager place In the sun. If one of the few planes In the air made a forced lancnng and someone aboard got a scratched nose, the fact was blazoned across the front pages of the papers In three-Inch type. while today a 300-plane raid li relegated to page sixteen where It la In Intimate contact with an advertisement of much publicized soothing syrup on one hand, and a brand of clg- relnforce- arettes guaranteed to be made of the best quality of alfalfa and sisal hemp, on the other hand.

unfortunate thing about this Is the Reds do not have enough of the" super-heavies" and as a retrospect, this country docs not have any. and none "on It Is not enough to have Just as many, gadgets as the other fellow, or to have something Just as good. Whether It Is tanks, airplanes, or other paraphernalia of war. If you the desire to win, you must be better than the enemy at every turn of the wheel. The success of the Nips and the Nazis has been due to the fact that they have been able to concentrate more fighting equipment and better equipment In a given area than their opponents have been able to bring against them The United Nations have not been able to win victories because they have not had what It takes The Reds have come pretty close to match- Ing the Nazis with men and equipment.

The Reds have been criticized for keeping matters too secret as to what Is going on various fronts The along Reds the wise In keeping things to themselves for If they allowed reporters and observers to get Into the midst of things, what they saw would be blazoned over the front naves of our oawrs and all the Nips. Nazis, and Wops would have to do to find out what was going on would be to read our papers. The Reds have made some heavy stabs at the Nazi positions In the Rzhev area far to the northwest of Moscow. Probably the Reds are Just feeling out these positions to see to what extent the Nazis have pulled troops away to bolster their lines in the south It Is to be remembered that the Rtds have a rather deep salient infft tho lines to the northwest of Rzhev. which Is a counterpart of the Nazi salient which has its apex at that place.

There Is no doubt but what some of the very heaviest battles of the war. especially between armored units, have been taking Place In the direction of Stalln- Rrad and toward the Caucasus. While the Nazis have considerable strength In France and other possible Invasion places, there can be no doubt but what contingents from these areas have been heavily drawn on to fill the gaps In the East. Regardless of where a bridge-head on the continent might be established. It could be done cheaper now than at any future time, but It looks like the establishment of bridge-heads and second fronts must not Interfere with thumb-twiddling" The Nips have pipped off a couple more islands down Timor way.

The local salvage drive is part of the nationwide drive announced by Donald Nelson WPB Chairman.
