MOSCOW, Nov, 5- (Thursdziy)—(AP)-—-The Red Army held its ground in Stalin- grad and the central Caucasus Wednesday and scored success- es on the Black Sezi front and northwest of Stalingrad, a Sov- iet communique said today.

The Germans continued to hurl masses of tanks into the battle on the Nalchik plains, at the foot of the 18,0oo-fcoi Caucasus Mountains, and in the nibble-strewn- streets of Stalingrad, but the Russians repulsed all attacks, inflicting heavy losses.

War Situation Last Night

i

(By Kirke L. Simpson, Aaaociated Pres; wai- Analyst)

Above even the distant clamor of guns and bomb; in North Ari-in, W!!!" llflllca of an Allied victory of major scope over Axis foes are hourly brightening, rises the hub-bub oi post-election analysis in the United States oi returns showing wide Republican i e against the still dominant Democratic party.

That the Roosevelt administration and ita management of the War has received a sharp rebuke at the hands of the American electorate goes without saying. lta party maloritles in both house of the new Congress will be heavily reduced. Many Democratic governors, state legislators and lesser officials have been replaced by Republicans from coast to coast and border to border, always excepting the traditionally Democratic solid south. A wealth oi new ammunition for the Axis pro- paganda druntfira attack has been provided.

O I I U O

Yet the fact remains that this wartime exercise by free men and women of the voting privilege which is the symbol of that liberty for which the United Nations are fighting, on battlflfields around the globe, has no direct bearing on the war effort except to demand its in- iensificntion. No American peace or appeasement advocate has bcfn elevated to office. There is no anti-war party. The election only reaf- firms at the source the national will for victory.

It. is a curious circumstance of the off-year Democratic reverses at the polls that they came just iwhen the war clouds in Africa. in the Far Pacific and in Russia were showing new and hopeful gllrnmcrs of light for the United Nations. On all three fronts forctastcg of still ln-

concluslve victories over the Asia were being savored. l O I O l O

Capture of 9,000 Prisoners; Nazi

Second in command killed.

(By Edward Kennedy, Associated Press Staff Writer)

CAIRO. Nov. 4-<AP)-Marshal Erwin RommePa Axis desert forces were in full and disordered retreat tonight across_t_he sands of western Egypt, pursued relentlessly by British forces and under constant attack from above by British, Canadian, American and South African air- men.

A special Allied communique aald Gen. Von Stumma, Nazi aecond-in-command, had been killed in the 12-day, fight which preceded the flight of the "disordered coi- umns,” and 9,000 Axis prisoners had been taken, including Gen. Ritier von Thoma, commander of the Afrlka Korps, and. other topflight German and Italian officers.

Gen. von Thoma was said to have been captured only, a short time after assuming his command upon the death of Gen. von Stumme.

HEAVY AXIS LOSSES

The joint communique announced these tremendoua Axis losses in less than two weeks of battle:-

“Exceptionaliy high" casualties in dead and wounded;

600 planes;

, 260 tanks destroyed or captured;

270 guns and,

50,000 tons of shipping laden with supplies.

Allied air losses were described as “light," in the 12 day bloody break-through by which the British command hopes i0 smash with finality the Axis position in Africa.

The British drive westward ciimaxcd days of artillery and aerial preparation which softened the Axis line, touched off an elaborate four-mile-deep mine field, and knocked out other fixed Nazi postions.
