The Russian winter was giving the Germans a taste of disaster also. The entire steppe was frozen and blanketed with snow.

Miserably Cold

The newspaper Pravda reported that the Soviet thrust south of Stalingrad across the frozen Kalmyk steppes was developing no less successfully than the western and northwestern offensives. Large German and Rumanian units, miserably clad, with blankets wrapped around their shoulders and handkerchiefs | over their faces to shut out the biting wind, roamed the windswept steppes and often surrendered without a fight, the newspaper said: Those who resisted were encircled quickly and wiped out. While the Russians have crushed and battered dozens of German divisions in the past three months,

massed south of Stalingrad on the east bank of the Volga only a few days ago and hurriedly crossed the river on pontoons thrown in the freezing water. They struck unexpectedly in the early morning with an intensive bombardment which lasted two and one-half hours. Infantry then cleared the mine fields for tanks which crushed one first line and strong point after another. Mobile heavy and medium artillery and mine-throwers played an important role in widening the breach, crippling and panicking the Germans.

After a full day of such operations the Soviet cavalry and motorized infantry entered the breach, fanned out and cut the railroad to Tikhorets, smashed numerous groups of Germans and advanced 14 miles. From there on there was no stopping them.

Prisoners Frost Bitten

Over the Kalmyk steppes south of Stalingrad today the roads were clustered with overturned = and burned oul enemy machines and thousands of green = uniformed corpses. Endless columns of frostbitten prisoners streamed eastward, convoyed by Russian cavalrymen, while Soviet tanks, cavalry and motorized Infantry flowed westward, The howling west wind brought with it some German lgafiets, recently printed.

The seriousness of the German situation was evident in the fact that to escape, the zi forces either would have to break through the Russian pincers or cross the Don north of Kalach and then force their way south through the gap between Kalach and Chernyshevskaya, which runs east and west,

The situation apparently had become a race between Hoth’s effort to rally and counter-attack and Soviet ability to reinforce its two principal assault columns and prevent a break-through. Hoth was tremendously handicapped by complete lack of rail communication and the fact that the Don was jammed with swirling ice blocks,

The Germans appeared stunned by the swiftness of the advance, particularly - around Chernyshevskaya. Russian forces broke info one village so suddenly the Germans were unable to organize a defense. One thousand were killed and 25 planes destroyed at the airdrome before they could take off.

The defenders of Stalingrad had opened an offensive of their own. The noon communique said they had taken 17 blockhouses in a factory area, in the northern part of the city. Advancing, they killed 1000 Germans.

Destroy 9 Tanks

“Northwest of Stalingrad, Soviet troops, breaking enemy resistance, advanced in a developing offensive and captured several inhabited localities,” the Russian noon communique said.

“A Soviet unit destroyed nine tanks and captured seven guns and other booty. On another sector, 13 tanks were burned. Five tanks in perfect condition were captured, in addition to 22 machine guns. Prisoners are being counted. “South of Stalingrad, Soviet troops continued successful offensive battles. A Soviet unit killed 850 Germans, captured 35 guns, 19 trucks and 48 machine guns and took 520 prisoners. Soviet tankists pursuing the retreating Germans, destroyed 14 tanks, 28 trucks and captured booty.” The Germans have lost between 50,000 and 60,000 killed and taken prisoners in the new Russian offensive. Wounded undoubtedly run their total casualties much higher.

BIZERTE UNDER AERIAL ATTACK

Allies Also Blast Triopli; Defeat German Column At Jalo.

(Continued from Page One)

British eighth army flew across Libya to give Bizerte still another pasting and fighter planes from Malta shot down at least three giant German transport planes off the East Tunisia coast.

Attack Palermo Drome

Other attacks were made by Malta and Middle Eastern planes on Palerno airdrome, Sicily, and enemy shipping off Sardinia, where a merchantman was sunk. The British 8th army, driving through' Libya westward toward Tripoli and Tunis, occupied Agedabia, on the Gulf of Sirte coast 70 miles from El Agheila, and the inland oasis of Jalo. Radio Morocco. reported that in skirmishes calculated to lead soon to a grand scale battle the allies in Tunisia had taken many axis prisoners, including 40 at one point.

German - controlled Radio Paris reported that all French forces in Africa had been put under the command of Lieut. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower by agreement with Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, active commander of French fighting forces. Though the report was not confirmed here it was regarded as the logical sequel to the swing of all French West Africa, including Dakar, to the allied orbit as announced over French African radios by Admiral Darlan. -

Germans Enraged

. Radio Morocco broadcast a mobilization order, published in today’s Morocco newspapers, calling all French officers under 30 years of age and non-commissioned officers and men of the 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939 army classes to report to the colors. News of the loss of Dgkar enraged: the Germans, evidently, and stimulated the new German-backed campaign to form an African legion, so-called Phalange Africaine, to fight the allies in Africa.

The Nazi Paris radio said that axis troops in Tunisia were expecting the arrival of “new” contingents of troops from France to aid them.

It was assumed that the Nazi puppet dictator Pierre Laval, now in Paris, had given his support to the legion idea. Marshal Henri Philippe Petain In a brief and apparently belated radio speech last night appealed to French forces in West Africa to support him and, by implication, the Germans. However, it appeared that Dakar

fallen into allied hands, with its men, guns, planes and ships, without a fight, ; Dispatches indicated that the allied forces were making steady progress in their deliberate investment of the German-held areas of Tunisia.

Cuts Sub Threat

It was intimated that the allies would utilize Dakar promptly and to the fullest extent as a base from which to clean the last vestige of enemy submarine activity from the South Atlantic to which it had been switched when the North Atlantic and the Caribbean became too hot.

From Dakar, it was said, the allies would be able to hunt enemy submarines and possibly surface craft up and down the Africa coast and far out to sea toward Brazil, With Dakar, the allies got an excellent port and naval base; a much better land communication route across Africa, a formidable amount of French fighting ships, the biggest force of trained troops in French Africa and many planes. Aside from news of the French victory against the Italians, reports reached headquarters of continued minor fighting at various points in Tunisia.

Build Air Strength

For the moment the importance was being emphasized by both sides of building up air strength as quickly as possible, The allies were rushing to the front areas all their available air strength and the Germans were concentrating planes in the BizerteTunis northwest corner of the country.

Homer Capehart, seventh district chairman, is one of the chief supporters of Mr. Knapp, as he was in the state convention fight last summer. And while he will have to throw his strength on the first ballot to Mr. Henley since he is from the seventh district, it is likely that he will then switch to Mr. Knapp if he sees that Mr. Henley hasn't a chance.

There was no test of strength between the two factions in yesterday’s election of senate officers as both sides were supporting Senator Thurman Biddinger of Marjon, who was elected president pro tem. Other senate officers were elected by acclamation. They are Senator O.
