Allied offensives jarred Hitler-Hirohito & Co. further
off balance on every front in World War Ii today.
While the Russians steadily tightened a gigantic trap
against ,200.000 to 400,000 Nazis in the Stalingrad sector.
American, British and Fighting French forces hammered
the Axis into an ever-narrowing corridor along the Med-
iterranean coast from Libya to Tunisia in North Africa.

leniiiv in one ot the most cn- .
thmuedic drives of the entire se- I
lies oi all-out wm efforts.
This week's bond selling job j
hap been left entirely up to the
w omen. The only men permitted
to dabble in the affair are those
who issue the official bonds at |
the Panhandle Stale Bank.
\V h Mr*. Jack S--Relic as gen-
eral chairman, yesterday's earn-
ng. soared past the $5,000 mark, ;
nothing to be sneezed at for one
day’s drive.
The femmes who are working
on the drive ran be identified by i
then patriotic arm bank- And
they're swarming evei y where.
The. re in the di>rv-. they're at
all the civ ir clubs, they re "mak-
ing every public gathering they
hear about.
Attention is called to all of
these who want to make applica-
tion for supplemental gasoline
that it is very necessary that
these terms be completely filled
out so that the board will have
sufficient information to enable
them to either accept or reject
the application.
In most cases, applications have
been received and not been acted
upon, due to the lack of inform-
ation. The applicant schuld bear
in mind that if he is employed
by a company employing more
than 100 persons, it is necessary
that he first give the application
to the company's transportation
committee, and get their recom-
mendation attached. In cases
w'here the applicant is working
for a smaller company, he must
attach a letter from the official
of the company recommendint1
that the amount of gasoline ap-
plied lor be issued.
These supplemental application
brinks can be obtained at the
.at.iiiing board. When the blank
i, 11 inflict'Iv tilled out, it should
be left at the board in order
that they may pass on it. Due to
the fact that there are so many
supplemental applications, it will
net. be nossible for the board to

knowledge*! with rare
frankness that the Red ar-
mies had penetrated into
Nazi defense lines south of
Stalingrad and in the big
loop of the Don river west of the
i long-besieged Volga city. The
Nazi communique said vaguely
that “counter measures are pro-
ceeding.”
In the far Pacific, American
and Australian troops under Gen,
Douglas MacArthur furiously at-
tacked the last dwindling nests
of Japanese resistance on the
Papua peninsula, in New Guinea,
and U. S. Army heavy bombers
blasted Japanese invasion forces
amid the ruined temples of Man-
dalay, Burma.
These were the highlights in
24 hours of unbroken good news
for the United Nations on the
world's far - flung battlefronts,
with the picture further brighten-
ed by the announced adherence
of French forces at Dakar to the
side of the Allies and by a dip-
lomatic pact eliminating French
Martinique in the Caribbean sea
as a potential menace to the west-
ernt hemisphere.
Martinique Agreement
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
said in Washington that as a re-
sult of an agreement reached with
Admiral Robert. French high
commissioner at Martinique, there
was not likely to be any neces-
sity for American occupation of
French possessions in the Carib-
bean.
On the Libyan desert front.
British headquarters reported that
Gen. Sir Bernard L Montgom-
ery's victorious Hth army had
driven 100 miles beyond Bengasi
to occupy Agedabia in swift pur-
suit of Nazi Field Marshal Er-
win Rommel's fleeing columns.
Agedabia lies only 70 miles
from the El Agheila defile, a 30-
mile-deep passage between mar-
shy quicksands and the sea,
where Rommel is expected to at-
tempt a last-ditch stand
