War Moves Today

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst The question of whether the Germans will be able to hold the winter line they have set in Russia apparently is coming closer to a decision now that the Russians suddenly have increased the fury of their offensive, particularly in the south and the| Ukraine. German military authorities were quoted yesterday as placing the line approximately as follows:

From a point east of Taganrog (on the sea of Azov)

PUT WAR FIRST, NELSON INSISTS

‘Boss of U. S. Production

Lauds Gimbel Spirit in

Vincennes Address.

VINCENNES, Ind. Jan. 15 (U. P). |Donald M. Nelson, driving boss of America’s wartime production, warned management and labor last night that both face drastic changes in schedules and operations and that it may be necessary to “kick all the old standards out the window” to attain the production

needed tc win the war.

“We cannot compromise this de{mand for all-out production, or accept a formula which gives us any{thing less than an absolute maximum production just because someone’s toes are being stepped on,” Mr. Nelson declared. Mr. Nelson's address, written prior ‘to his appointment by President Roosevelt as head of wartime in(dustry and scheduled to be delivered |personally at the Adam Gimbel Centennial Celebration at Vincennes, was read by Indiana Supreme Court Justice Curtis G. Shake.

Rely on Mass Output

Mr. Nelson asserted that America must rely on her great mass pro{duction industries for the bulk of the increase sought under the war

| program.

“Wherever we can, we must convert them quickly to war production. {The only gauge we can apply to this {program is: What method will most {quickly give us the greatest volume in this particular industry.’ Mr. Nelson stated flatly that civilian goods production would be discontinued if such goods were not essential to “keep going.” “We can’t let ore worker or one machine be employed making goods for civilians unless those goods are things the country absolutely has to have,” he declared.

use tax stamps, which began today, in leisurely fashion. Only a handful of the 100,000 local automobile owners who must purchase the $2.09 stamps before Feb. 1 called at the Post Office or

substations to purchase the stamps, according to Postal officials. The first customer at the main Post Office purchased 10 stamps for automobiles owned by his firm. The stamps will be valid until July 1 when a new $5 stamp good for the next fiscal year must be affixed to each automobile. Owners of sail and motor boats 16 feet or more in length also must purchase the stamps. The stamps must be affixed to the vehicles and Treasury Department officials are reportedly seeking to work out an agreement with those states, including Indiana, which ban the placing of stickers on windshields to permit the stamps to be placed on windshields.

EXILE REGIMES HINT U. S. SETUP

War Control May Shift to America as Missions Are Transferred.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (U. P). —Discussions are under way for transferring several refugee governments now in London to Washington, and one or more may move in the near future, it was reliably reported today. Secretary of State Cordell Hull confirmed the conversations yesterday but did not mention the names of those countries involved. United States’ entry into the war made such a transfer possible and several of the Governments are said to believe they could function bet- | ter here. | The fact that the war has spread to the Pacific removes one of the chief objections against Washington as a suitable location. While the war was confined to Europe and the Mediterranean area, London was more central. But with battle fronts in Asia as well as Europe, the United States is even more strategically located. Communications lines between the United States and the Balkans, even now, are as convenient as between London and those countries. The increasing number of military and supply missions in this [country also indicates that control |of the war may shift to the United States.

Surprise?

Axis Hints May Mean Southward Push Via Turkey.

ALGIERS, Jan. 15 (U. P).— Axis hints of an imminent “surprise move” in the western or central Mediterranean were believed today to foreshadow a new German southward thrust elsewhere—possibly through Turkey. Some Algerian military experts view with skepticism the sunburst of suggestion that Malta and Gibraltar are the logical objectives of an impending Axis assauit, “The big question mark in the Mediterranean is still at the Turkish end rather than at Gibraltar,” Rene Richard of the newspaper Echo D’Alger, wrote. ”n ” 2 OTHER EXPERTS maintain Italian newspapers have been “too obvious” in warning the British of a surprise move everywhere but in the eastern Mediterranean. A possible Axis thrust through Turkey, they said, probably would be directed southward through Syria and the Holy Land, clearing the way for an onslaught against the lifeline, the Suez Canal. Algerian sources minimize the possibility of Spain entering the war.
