fleet and its air arm were reported carrying out harassing air and naval bombardments of Nazi units north of Novorossisk—a possible indication that the Germans were attempting to evacuate some of their Caucasus troops across the Kerch straits to Crimea. The naval planes destroyed harbor installations at one port, special dispatches said, blew up ammunition dumps at a second, killed 2000 Germans and destroyed many trucks in a third area and killed 1400 men and destroyed 14 guns and 60 trucks in a fourth. Starobelsk Recaptured On the southwestern front the Russians pressed forward after capturing the city of Starobelsk, 128 miles southeast of Kharkov, and clearing a 150-mile stretch of the Rostov-Moscow railroad which they need to develop an attack on Kharkov, industrial capital of the Ukraine and Russia's fourth city. Guards units took Starobelsk at the bayonet point, encircling the city, storming the thickly strewn pill boxes of a city which the Germans had turned into a fortress, and fighting their way through it street by street and building by building. 80,000 Prisoners in 3 Weeks On the front south of Voronezh, the Russians last night liquidated a big group of troops, capturing 1100. They had taken 1600 prisoners in this area yesterday after capturing 12,000 Saturday to bring their total to nearly 80,000 there jn a little more than two weeks. The southern and Caucasian
armies rapidly neared a junction|ys
of forces along the northern stretch of the Rostov-Baku raliroad. The southern army was closing in on Tikhoretsk, where the Baku line meets that extending westward to Krasnodar and Novorissisk. The Caucasus army was only 14 miles from Keto
leading to Krasnodar and Novoris-| boa sisk. Takoretsk is but 35 miles northwest. of Krgpotkin.

passed and that there no longer is need for such control. However, Mrs. Clayton Ridge. civic leader, said: “It appears to me that the present milk control board has achieved much for the milk industry in Indiana. Functioning to the end that the farmer, the distributor and the consumer interests may all be served, it has developed a very equitable situation h “The argument thdt the present board was created to take care of an emergency and that the emergency no longer exists is extremely weak. period is always an emergency period and anything can happen. Therefore, any situation that fs functioning properly should not be tampered with.” Another statement in favor of the bill was issued by Mrs. Louis R. Markun, consumer representative on the milk control board:
Says Supply Assured
is imperative that women today be alert to consumer problems. “The dairy industry is the largest industry in the state. Milk is a food upon which practically everyone is more or less dependent. Therefore, I feel that an essential product such as milk needs control or supervision. The federal government and 26 state have recognized the need for milk legislation and many states have used the Indiana milk confrql ‘law as their pattern. “Milk control secures for the consumer sound marketing practices which have in most instances resulted in a sufficient supply of quality milk. It secures for the producer a fair share of the consumer’s dollar, And it secures for the distributor a fair return on his investment and a stabilized industry.”
