19. UP.i German armored forces struck deeper into the streets of northwest SaiHngrad Friday, but Russian counter-blows, backed up by reinforcements from western Siberia, iped out part of the gain, the Red army reported Friday. Semi-official dispatches said the new Russian armies reaching Stal- ingrad from Siberia enabled the defenders to launch strong counter- attacks, which beat back three German shock forces on the out-' skirts of the city and recaptured a suburban village on the bank of the Volga to the north. 2 Sectors Touched The midnight communique said the Stalingrad battle raged most fiercely in two strategic sectors, the German shock forces running into a stone wall stand in one, and losing several streets they had captured in the other, "In another sector heavy fighting developed for an important height," the communique said. "All enemy attacks were repulsed with heavy losses.

In this sector thm Soviets destroyed or disabled 28 German tanks, 49 motor vehicles with troops, and two battalions of infantry." Redj Launch Offensive Meanwhile, in the Voronezh ares, 310 miles northwest, the Red army launched a full scale offensive, late dispatches revealed. Striking in four directions west of the Don. the Soviet troops overwhelmed axis resistance and made substantial gains. Powerful air snd artillery bombardments touched off the Russian drive after weeks of defensive fighting, in which heavy losses were inflicted on Hungarians and Germans who tried to recapture Soviet bridgeheads on the west bank of the Don. Axis Overwhelmed As two forces struck from the bridgeheads, two columns swarmed across the river, overwhelmed axis resistance and began a swift advance westward.

German counter- attacks failed. The high command said that on the Mozdok front above the Grozny oil fields. German armored force. made a number of counter-attacks (Continued on Page 9, Col, 7) Jap Drive Upon Moresby Slowed X. MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS.

Karow, recent Texas Ag- i gie assistant bringing his fust head- coached football team against the school that gave him his first coach- ing job in 1927, checked his Comets i into a downtown hotel Friday night. On his 39-man squad are some of the outstanding college players of recent years, including halfback George Franck of Minnesota, ends Billy Dewell of Southern Methodist and Ed Frutig of Michigan, fullback Bill Green of Iowa and halfback Red Hahnenstein of Northwestern, Cadet Green is the pitcher in Karow's aircraft battery that will abet the strong running game concentrated around all America Franck, voted most valuable player in the '41 college all-star game. Fast Runners Matched If, or should we say w'hen, Franck shakes into an open field, foot racing should remind Memorial stadium customers of the Texas relays. Franck is the former Big Ten indoor sprint king. Long-horn backs Jackie Field, Max Minor and Ken Matthews are among the Southwest fleetest.

Field and Matthews ate likely to be in the starting baeki'ield, with big Joe Magliolo, a spring training find, at blocking back and Roy McKay at fullback. McKay will run the starling team and keynote the Texas attack with his plunging, passing and punting. McKay is a larger and some-i what slower edition of the '41 Pete i.yden; Field is the new Jack Craut, or at least is playing the inimitable Nubbin's old tailback post. Walton Roberts, who sparkled at times last year even though virtually buried under Crain and Spec Sanders, will call signals and run tailback for the second string.

Roosevelt but which permits future discretionary price adjust- mcnta to meet increased labor costs that would result in gross inequities to the farmer. Such adjustments i would be prescribed by the presi- dent. This change appeared to answer. in part, protests by farm leaders 1 that fluctuating farm labor costs be considered in the stabilization program Little Steel Formula As to wages, the committee threw out the "little steel" formula as such and substituted a more flexible program. The final action came a few hours after C.I.O.

Pres. Philip Murray protested to the committee that any bill limiting wage raises to those permitted by the "little steel" formula would result in rigid freezing of wages and "destroy the morale of American w-orkers." That formula, employed by the war labor board, in effect limits wage increases to not more than 15 per cent of Jan. 1. 1941, wage levels to compensate for increased living costs since then.
