FIGHTING BREAKS OUT AN EW AT STALIN GRAD

United Nations

ETurchill Speaks--

Must Balance

Wisdom_,

Daring

(By Noland Norgaard, Associated Press Staff Writer)

EDINBURGH, Oct. 12—-(AP)-Prlme Minister Churchill gave Britain today an assessmint of two-months’ Allied war effort which included the trans ort to these isles of the most numerous United States troops yet to arr vc, and declared the United Nations had reached a "stern and sombre moment" in which they must balance wisdom with daring.

That was his closest reiference to the “second front” problem ln n speech delivered in Edinburgh's Usher flail. lt recalled hls careful state- ment to the llouse of Commons last week in which he said tlie war

had entered n "significant" period.

He made it plain that Hitler's action in manacllrlifi 1,376 Canadian a

and British prisoners and rcprisal chninln s by Can

and Britain

would result in continued Allied detcrmlnat on to show no weakness.

The Prime Minister took especial pains to taunt. Hitler about the “dull, low, whiuinf note of fear" apparent in the ates; speeches of the German Fuehrer and his ss- sociates, and he said:—

"It is apparent to me that this bad man saw q shadow of slowly and remcrselessly approaching doom, and that he railed at fortune for mocking hln with the glitter of fieetinB success."

Shipping Improves

Briefly mess the gains of the last two mont s. Mr. Churchill said August and September have been "the least bad months" since January in U-bcat de redations. This, he acknowledge , remains the Allies‘ greatest Emblem, "but there 1.5 no reason w atsoever why it shou cl not be solved by the prodigi- ous measures of offense and dc- fence and replacement on which Britain, Canada and above all the

United States now are e aged." August and September, e went on, "have seen new building of

"In these months indeed in September, far away in the Pacific ihc Australians and their Americ-

"Fear is also the motive which inspires l-iiiiefs latest outrages . . British Ccmmnnclo raids . . . although so far only a forerunner of what is to come inspire the author of so many crimes and mis-

Are Agreed?“ On Second

Leave Strategy To War Leaders Roosevelt Urges

U. St President Be- lieves U. S. Draft Age Should be Re- duced to 18.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1$—(CP)— ‘Ihe high command of the United Nations has agreed on "the neces- sity of diverting enemy forces from Russia and China to other theatres of war by new offensivcs against Germany and Japan," President Roosevelt announced tonight.

The President made this direct reference to a series of scattered second fronts in a broadcast speech in which he announced his belief the United States draft law should be amended to drop the minimum in- duction age from 20 to l8 and his further belief that the time has come when manpower in the Un- ited States must be rationed to in- dustry and agriculture.

After deriding _wiiat he called "typwriter strategists" for attempt- ing to influence the course of the war while not in possession of the mil- itary facts, the President said “we, therefore, will continue to leave the plans for this war to the military

ers.‘

He outlined the top-level military command of the United Nations— the joint staff of the army and navy in Washington, limited to Ain- ei-ican service chiefs, and the com- bined chiefs of staff committee, al- so in Washington, on which is xen- resented the United States. Britain Canada, Russia, China. the Nether- lands, Poland Norway and the other British Dominlons.

Then he went, on to say: "since this unity of operations was put in_- to effect last January, there has been a very substantial agreement between these planners. all of whom are trained in the profcsion of arms-air. sea and land-fr0m their early years. As commnnder-in-chiif (of American forces) I have at. all times also been in substantial agreement.

“As 1 have said before. many major decisions of strategy have n made. One of them-on which we have all agrecd-rclatts to the necessity of diverting cncmy forces from Russia and China to other theatres of war by new of- fensive: against Germany and Ja-

an. "An announcement of how these offensives are to be launched. and when, and where, cannot be broad- cast over the radio at this time."

Confident Speech

It was an encouraging and confi- dent spzcun by the President. l-le said "we are getting ahead of our enemies in the battle of production," and “the total tonnage oi ships coming out oi AiliCllCitll, Canziuiaii and British shipyards, day by day, has increased so fast that we are getting ahead of our enemies in the bitter battle of transportation."

He summed up the presaut posi- tion of the United Nations in these words: "The strength oi the Uii-

- lived Nations is on the up-grude in

this war. The Axis leaders, on ihc other hand. know by now that they have already reached their full strength, and that their steadily mounting losses in men and mater- ial cannot bc fully replaced,

Russian suspicion that the halt called by Berlin on storming oper- Itlcm Biainst Stalingrad may be s trick, designed to lull the city gur- rlson, ll ustiflable.

The Soviet high command probably is diverting some of its available plane strength from combat to scouting work, look- ln‘ for more CllIlVlflClllK evidence thanhas yet been afforded that l-lit- ler has abandoned hope oi’ seizing Stalingrad to anchor his winter line.

The care Willi wh ch Berlin broadcasters sought to prepare Herman P1111110 opinion for a change in tactics at Stirlingrad to reduce losses warrants suspicion. It was shouted on every Berlin wavelength. 'l‘hat it would be picked up not only in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia but in Stalingrad itself and lead to a let-down in the vigilance and defensive determination n: the g3'rrls0'n might have ‘been. the Nazi hope.

Stalingrad defenders have been keyed to battle pitch for seven weeks. that must makereactlnn to a lull in frontal attack dangerous unless l\t\Zl troop dispositions iii that area quickly ri-ilctrt a more (it'l- iniio halt than is yet ifiscernablv. It seems impossible that the. (iermans would attempt to slt clown for winter siege operations where they are before Stalingrad and in the Don-Volga corridor,

Russian estimates have placed at least 500,000 Axis troops in the immediate vicinity of Stalingrad or holding the perimeter of the great eastward bulge across the Don. As many more must be ilcplnycd within the Don benil and along the long and difficult supply routes back to the Doncts over \\'lll(‘l\ every ton of ammunition, food. furl and the like for so huge u force must be brought forward.
