lost ground in several sectors before hammering Soviet attacks. Today’s Russian high command communique told. of hard fighting around Rostov and left no doubt as to the desperate nature of the situation there. The Germans are slicing in from Taganrog to the west, from the Voroshilovgrad region to the north and down in a curving arc around Novocherkassk at the confluence of the Don and Donets rivers 32 miles northeast of Rostov.

Await Decisive Battle

Last Nov. 22 the Germans seized Rostov and the Russians made such 8 withdrawal, finally regrouping their forces and striking back to retake the city and launch their winter offensive. The Germans claimed in their eommunique that Russian resistance in ‘the Don loop which curves to within 35 miles of industrial Stalingrad, one of Russia's greatest war centers, has been ‘broken” and other reports said the Nazis had ‘struck across the Don ‘and into the Caucasus between Rostov and Stalingrad. : British commentators, although making no effort to disguise the

armies are to remain intact in the scuth, said that the decisive battle remained to be fought in northern Caucasia.

Soviet ‘Gains in North

The Russian high command reported important gains around Voronezh and acknowledged a with-

drawal in the Novocherkassk area,

guarding the eastern flank of Rosgov, under threat of encirclement. The ‘Germans also were admitted to be heavily attacking Tsimlyanskaya, 100 miles east of Novocherkassk and 115 miles southwest of Stalingrad. : Soviet “armor busters,” aviation, tanks and men were massed in an attempt to stop the Germans on the lower Don river front—around Tsimlyanskaya, Novocherkassk and Rostov, the Soviet noon communique reported.

Use New ‘Tank Busters’

“Tank busters,” a weapon 'not otherwise described, advanced on

. the Germans at Tsimlyanskaya, and

set three German tanks on fire, the communique said. The Communist party organ Pravda said the Soviet army continually was counter-attacking at Voronezh on the west bank of the Don, had cleared more ground on the east. bank and had improved its positions on all sectors of that

minds to sacrifice time and substance and life itself to an extent unprecedented in past history. “International desperadoes, like individual bandits, will not abandon outlawry voluntarily. They will only be stopped by force.” Mr. Hull devoted most of the tals —which was carried - over all domestic radio networks and shortwaved in ‘11 languages to all parts of the world—to a summary of the administration’s ideas of the postwar world-to-be. That world, he said, must include some form

probably of inter-

peace. “Liberty is truly won only when it is guarded by the same watchfulness, the same courage, the same willingness to fight for 'it which first secured it,” he said.

‘Prosperity After War’

Outlining the requirements for a post-war world which would ensure safety, equality and a full and peaceful life for all, Mr, Hull said that continued association of the united nations in peace as well as in war is essential to a satisfactory aftermath of the present desperate struggle. He predicted that prosperity, instead of depression, will follow the war if the nations of the world work together on a program such as he set forth, At first there must be “swift and effective action” to meet pressing human needs among war ravaged populations, he said. Then—. “All countries including ours will need an immense volume of production. “There will, therefore, exist vast opportunities for useful employment. : . “The termination of the war effort will release, for use in peaceful pursuits, stirring enthusiasms, the aspirations and energies of youth, technical experience and—in many industries — ample plants and abundance of tools. . . .

“It is plain that one of the instituticns which must be established and be given vitality is an international court of justice. “It is equally clear that in the process of re-establishing international order, the united nations must exercise surveillance over aggressor nations until such time as the latter demonstrate their willingness and ability to live at peace with other nations. . . .

newspaper Red Star said that on the northwestern sector of the Voronezh front alone, the German 45th and 88th Infantry divisions had lost upwards of 50 per cent of their effectiveness—around 15,000 men.

Big Guns Halt British

On the Egyptian battlefront, the deadly 88 millimeter guns which Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel has used effectively in Libya and Egypt barred the way for imperial armored units after some advances ad been made in two days of heavy offensive action, supported by allied air squadrons.

Fighting yesterday was in limited areas, since most of the British gains were made Wednesday. The enemy was described as ‘“defending himself vigorously” and often counter-attacking without regaining lost ground. Tank operations were limited, but the British air force again ham-

fighter-bombers attacked the forward areas. “While British losses in this week's attacks were not officially indicated, a dispatch from Richard D. MecMillan, United Press correspondent at the front, said: “Fortunately Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck has built up tank reserves and can stand the losses involved without danger to his position covering the Nile delta. “Nevertheless, he succeeded in doing no more than pushing the enemy back a few miles without smashing through the anti-tank gun pits ‘dug in on advantageous ground on the line from the north coast to the Qattara depression.”

Hideki Tojo, the war lord premier, was inspecting a Tokyo factory late in April a hammer was thrown at him by a worker, who blamed him for death of 100 workers in the air raid. The hammer was said to have grazed Tojo’s head. 4. A United States submarine sank the Japanese liner Taiyo Maru, 14,457 tons, with loss of 780 Japanese technical experts of the Mitsui Industrial Co. With the majority of American correspondents, I was imprisone for six months. They Saw Tokyo Raided AFTER SIX MONTHS of investigation, some Americans were convicted of espionage and sentenced to prison terms up to three years, but thes¢ were suspended so that we all could be repatriated by the liners Asama Maru and Conte Di Verdi, which now have arrived here on the coast of Mozambique, Portugal's southeast Africa colony. With us here are the Japanese sent from the United States to be exchanged for us, including Japanese Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura and Special Ambassador Saburo Kurusu. The story of the bombing I obtained from eye-witnesses who saw the raid from the concentration camp in which Americans and other foreigners were held. Tokyo had been undergoing a series of air defense drills when the United States army air corps bombers under Brig. Gen. James Doolittle droned in from the sea. Caused Political Crisis AT THE TIME, THERE happened to be no defense drill and for the first time in its 2600 years of ‘history Tokyo rocked under the impact of bombs. The American aviators concentrated their attack on the Tokyo factory districts. Damage, including that from fires, was described as moderately heavy. A single plane which flew over the imperial palace, in the heart of the city, drew fire from the

tempting to bomb it. The cabinet,

anti-aircraft guns emplaced’ in

the big grounds.

Although the plane made no attempt to drop bombs, the mere fact that the plane flew over the palace, it was reported, caused an internal political crisis because the emperor was endangered. Afterwards, informants added, ‘there was a sweeping ‘reorganization of the air defense command. sa It was early in May, according to the reports I have received, that a United States navy submarine sank the liner Taiyo Maru. : With the liner, there went to the bottom of the sea the en-

Knew War Was Coming

The outbreak of war surprised Correspondents had been convinced that the Japanese war lords were about to strike. But whén the critical situation in November passed, it was generally believed the blow would come several weeks later, not as early as Dec. T. : Believing that sooner or later the attack was coming, the correspondents tried to give their forebodings to Americans. THEY COULD NOT SAY outright that they believed war was near, but they tried to indicate by the unusual volume of their dispatches that the situation was serious.
