—The time is at hand for big powers of the united nations to plan

and summer operations,

spring probably including or pointing toward a large-scale invasion of

Europe, it was believed today,

+ Important matters of international policy such as the strained French situation in North Africa and the. formation of some form of superunited nations war council, as well as questions of military and naval| strategy, were believed to be up for decision in the major allied capitals.

Among the immediate problems

- being studied are: An. agreement on who should have political control in French North Africa. The planning of a smashing

many on the continent of Europe. Vitally important but not expected [to materialize immediately "is the formation of a united nations ‘war council which would coordinate the global fight against the axis and enable such powers as land China to figure more prominently in the drafting of war

ll-informed official of the government said such an tion was in the .process of En and had been for some time. He cautioned, however, against expecting a definite announcement very soon. Greater Collaboration Likely Premier Josef Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek undoubtedly are being kept abreast of current developments. Some informed quarters felt that as the time approaches for new major offensives, the Russian and Chinese “Jeaders would move into positions of closer collaboration and consul“tation with President Roosevelt and

THESE BILLS, particularly the one to take over the gross income tax department, will be discussed - at the meeting of the steering committee tomorrow. As this bill is drawn now, it would place the department under Republican State Auditor Richard T. James. But it is understood that the naming of the state auditor as the official to be given the department was only a formality in the. writing of the bill and that its proponents are willing for any other state official to be named as controlling officer, just so he is a Republican. Mr. James himself says he doesn’t want control of the gross income tax division, which has about 300 employees. Most of the support for the proposed gross income tax change comes from Marion, county Republicans, who think they could get a number of jobs for_the party faithful by this control switchover, ‘A number of Republicans believe that the gross income tax

| between Voronezh and the northern

Caucasus. ‘On the south Voronezh front, Red army men were within 110 miles of Kharkov; on the Donets river front, they captured the railroad junction of Millerovo; in the Stalingrad area, tanks, infantry and calavry were ripping into the remnants of 22 German divisions now numbering only about 70,000 men; on the lower Don front Russians were within 25 miles of Salsk junction, and in the Caucasus they were only 80 miles from Armavir, whence a railroad leads through the Maikop oil fields to the Black sea. : More Than 3000 Killed

Today’s noon communique reported the capture of “several” unidentified towns and the killing of more than 3000 Germans. Two special communiques issued last night had been much more specific in telling the story of one of the biggest days of the winter offensive. “Jan. 17 our troops after a fierce battle captured the town and important railroad junction of Millerove,” the first communique said. “The German garrison of the town, which tried to break out, was almost completely wiped out by our troops.” ‘The same communique announced the capture, on the Voronezh front, of the town and railroad station of Alekseevska, 70 miles southwest of Voronezh and 110 miles northeast of Rostov, along with two other towns including Karotozhak, 48 miles south of VoroIn the Caucasus area the

Diners-Out Face OPA Regulations |

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 .(U.

P.).~—Diners-out, who thus far have escaped formal rationing of foods, soon will be included in a system the office of price administration is devising to cover hotels, restautants and institutions. Bused on the sugar, offee and processed foods needs of thcse eating places for December, 1942, the new regulations also will apply to boarding houses, jails, railway dining cars and chain store lunch counters. The new regulations will go into effect when point rationing for processed foods is instituted. OPA announced that experience here and abroad shows that dining away from home is an important recreational lift to morale. Under the proposed rationing, institutions will receive the same consideration that private families receive in food allotments. No limit will be placed on the number of people a restaurant may serve, nor will patrons be compelled to surrender ration stargps in order to eat. -

SEIZE RIDGE ON GUADALCANAL

Yank Troops in Fierce Fighting Remove Threat To Air Field.

By ROBERT MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent WITH AMERICAN FORCES ON GUADALCANAL, Jan. 16 (delayed). —Maj. Gen. Alexander M. Patch’s headquarters today announced the successful conclusion of the first American army offensive on Guadalcanal with the capture of Mt. Austen, 1800-foot ridge dominating Henderson field. Troops commanded by Col. Alexander George of Chicago attacked the ridge simultaneously from three sides and drove the Japanese from the well fortified positions and pill boxes, killing at least 267, and wounding hundreds. American losses, although heavy, were called “relatively light by

enemy.” Air Branches Give Help

Army and marine planes.and artillery of both services helped with continuous strafing and bombing attacks. The occupation of Mt, Austen removed the last immediate threat to

SHOT BY it HUGS

Of His Home; Prowler Busy on N. Side. Two burglars, frustrated in an attempted holdup, shot a man early!

Sunday morning while another, armed only with an amber flash-

series of week-end entrances. John M. Webb, 6090 N. Sherman drive, an electrical engineer for Eli Lilly & Co., was shot twice in the left leg as he seized a spade to resist the masked bandits who approached him as he was putting his car in the garage. Mrs. Webb left the car and ran into the house to call the police as

‘the bandits advanced.

Fail to Get Car

After shooting Mr. Webb, the holdup men tried to leave in the Webb automobile but Mr. Webb had thrown the keys under the car in the scuffle. Mr. Webb was reported in good condition in Methodist hospital this morning. Mrs. Tillman Farrow, 2917 N. New Jersey st., was awakened by a flashlight shining in her face. Discovered, the burglar ran from the house escaping with a purse containing $30 and Mr. Farrow’s trousers containing $15 in cash and $540 in checks.

Taxi Driver Robbed

Other homes entered by the burglar were at 2816 N. Illinois st., 2828 N. Talbott st. 3018 N. Delaware st., 3002 Fall Creek blvd. 2916 Broadway and 2847 N. Meridian st. In the 5100 block of E. Washington st. George Williams, a taxicab driver, was slugged and robbed of his watch and $85. He lives at 5120 E. Washington st. At 3808 E, Washington st., burglars obtained a large quantity of clothing from the J. D. Eastman Co. Wallace Shilling, said the value had not been determined.

sn the uppir Don

Russians are advancing steadily, 1egaining territory . taken by the Germans at terrific cost and depriving them of important rail: communications. . The position of the German army before Stalingrad seems hopes. less, according to Russian information. The battle f Stalingrad, one

of the epics of this war, is likely to end in the annihilation or capture of the big army which Hitler boasted was certain to take the city. Of the 22 German divisions totaling between 200,000 and 300,000 men, which started the siege, only about 50,000 to 70,000 are estimated to be left. These, having refused to surrender, are being wiped out, the Russians say. If so, it is the greatest blow Hitler has ever suffered. Wot only has he undergone a staggering loss in men and material, but the elimination of this army will free a large Soviet force to join in the march on Rostov at the mouth of the Don. The big German army in the

Caucasus, especia'y that par: of it east of Armavir nd from Novoris= sisk on the Black sea coast to the Maikop oil fields, is gravely mper= illed by the Russ an drive for Ros= tov. If Rostov falls to the Russians, this army will be cut off come pletely from lines of supply and will be in the same position :s the army at Stalingrad. The latter had hoped to hold out until spring through air transport supply, but it doesn’t appear to have workedi. The. problem of sup plying an army spread over a much greatei’ area in the Caucasus v, ould be ever: more impracticable. .
