At The Russian Front—

FEAR RUSS COLD

Already It Is Biting Cold

on the Long Front and

Specter of Another Winter Haunts Hitler's Besieged Divisions.

This is the 18th of a series of articles on the Russian front.

WITH THE RED ARMY ON THE RZHEV FRONT.— “For this winter our solders have much fear,” war prisoner Kurt Decker of the 87th German infantry division said to me. “They think there will be another big Russian attack like last year. The morale. of the German soldiers is not

like it was last year. It is much lower and they all know how terrible the Russian win-

ter will be.” A very large proportion of the Nazi prisoners on this front make ‘the same confession as under-officer Kurt Decker. Already it is biting cold at night and the specter of another Russian winter haunts the

minds of Hitler's besieged divisions. . German soldiers know that all of winter's snowdrifts and arctic frosts

did not keep the Red army from striking offensively and striking successfully last year. They also know that their mechanized weapons, their tanks and planes were often immobilized. In other words, Hitler's “conquering legions” have learned the bitter

lesson that Napoleon's army once learned and no speeches made by Der Fuehrer can make them forget these devastating realities. But on the Russian side of the front, one encounters not the slightest dread of the months of icy hell that lie ahead. Where their winter is concerned, the Russians are Spartans and today they look upon winter as a mighty ally. Everywhere along the front Red army officers’ testimony is the same. The German soldiers do not like to fight without tanks and bombers paving the way. Yet, within a month the entire front will be deep in snow and then the activities of the Germans’ tanks and planes will be severely crippled. During the past winter the Germans had great trouble with their fuel. - Whether the Germans have

been able to improve the quality of their plane fuel for winter remains to be seen. .

BRAZIL AWATTS | WAR COUNCIL]

State Interventors to Meet,

In Rio de Janeiro Early This Month.

By ALLEN HADEN

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 2.—For the first: time in more than five years, all of Brazil's state inter-

nors) will convene in Rio de -Ja-

neiro early this month for what wil be in reality a “council of war.”

This meeting is expected to consider such paramount questions as state organization, government prosecution of the war and certain

Observers here attach the highest significance to the convention which will sit just prior to the fifth anniversary of the Estado Novo announced by President Getulio Vargia Nov. 10, 1937, when by promulgation of .a new constitution the chief executive increased his authority, with power to dissolve congress and .call new elections.

Face Urgent Crisis

At their last get-together, the in- { terventors launched the presidential candidacy of Jose Americo de Almeida, with government blessing, in opposition to that of Armado Salles de Oliveira. Brazil today faces her most urgent crisis since the proclamation of the first republic 43 years ago— war. She must now wrestle with those same vast problems which confronted the United States for months in consideration of which was given impetus by the Pearl Harbor attack. Brazil has made a beginning toward the solution of the problems now confronting her. Joao Alberto Lins de Barros, former minister to Canada, has been given the task of price and wage control as well as the speeding up of produc-

ments. All-out production for war is grim business. It's your job to make the things you have last. The chances are your present vacuum cleaner will operate efficiently until new ones are available after the war.
