Russians Halt German Retreat From Caucasus
(By International News Service)
(By International News Service)
Trapped German armies in the Caucasus were reported to be fleeing across the Kerch strait to the Crimea and over the narrow northern arm of the Sea of Azov to the Ukraine shore. Moscow reports to Reuters said the Soviet Black Sea fleet and the Red air force were attacking transports attempting to rescue the remnants of the beaten German and Satellite divisions.
Estimates of the number of Axis forces caught in the Caucasus encirclement varied from 70,000 to 250,000 men. There appeared to be little hope of escape through Rostov as enshrining Soviet columns closed in on this gateway to the Caucasus and cut the last railway over which the enemy might have retreated.
The RAF continued its smashing offensive on the Reich's western front in another night attack.
RAF Bombs Again
Official information was still lacking today on the progress of the sea and air battle in the Southwest Pacific. A navy communique reported merely that "air and surface engagements between U S and enemy forces in the Guadalcanal area of the Solomons are continuing."
One declared that "You may safely say that the Japs are trying their best to take Guadalcanal."
Naval men amplified this unrevealing announcement somewhat. Japs Attempt Comeback
In the area to the north, Rabaut was bombed for the fifth consecutive day by Allied heavy bombers under command of General Douglas McArthur. An enemy warship was bombed off Wide Bay. Results of these attacks were not observed.
OPA Has Announced New Coffee Ration
Washington, Feb. 3.—(INS)The Office of Price Administration today announced that the next coffee raion will be cut from one pound per person every five weeks to one pound every six weeks because of reduced inventories in the hands of wholesalers and retailers.
Stamp No. 25, the next coffee stamp in war ration book 1, becomes valid on Feb. 8 and will be good for the purchase of one pound of coffee through March 21. Stamp 28, which has been valid since Jan. 4, expires at midnight Feb. 7.

Senator Introduces New Bill To Change Present Beer Law
Better enforcement of the existing 3.2 beer law was asked in the state Senate yesterday by Senator Hotchkiss, Lyndon, who asked that the penalty for violating the law be changed.
Existing laws state that violators shall have their permits suspended for six months before beer can be sold again. The new bill as introduced provides for a five-year suspension for all cases other than first offenses.
Appels for a weaker beer, one with an alcoholic content of one half of one per cent, have not been introduced to the senate in the form of bills as yet.
Rationing Allows 11 Cans of Food
Washington, Feb. 3 (INS) — American consumers today stood a good chance of having an "average" of about 11 cans of fruits and vegetables available per person next month under the point-rationing system going into effect March 1.
Indications were that the 48 "points" which each individual will have available to "spend" on the more than 200 rationed items during March will permit the purchase of around six cans of food per person, plus an allowable inventory of five cans each.
ROCK CHALK TALK---figure out what the professor is talking about. In a recent Editorial olass, Prof. Elmer F. Bath was discussing Time with such pertinent introductory phrases as: "When your Time comes—!" and admonitions to "use your Time more effectively." Or should the last one have been lower case?
OPA officials emphasized, however, that the point values for the various foods will not be determined until after all retail sales are halted at midnight Feb. 20. Every item will have the same point value in every store in the country.
Main British Force Near Tunisian Line
London, Feb. 3 (INS) — The main force of the British eighth army moving westward through Libya was reported today to have advanced to within 25 miles of the Tunisian frontier while forward patrols already across the border probed at Axis defenses in the vicinity of the Mareth line.
Algiers radio broadcasts said that British Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's forward elements were engaged in patrol action beyond Ben Gardane, 20 miles west of the Tripolitanian border, and were feeling out the Axis positions in the direction of Matmata.
Matmata, 75 miles west of Ben Gardane, lies behind the Mareth, or "Little Maginot," defense line.

They raise 'em different up thar: Hubert Thomber, of Ft. Leavenworth, didn't want the boys at the Tennessee Club to get him a date for the midweek, because "where he comes from they do things kind of primitive," and he wanted to look around and see how cultural they did things here.

Aman departmenter, Willis Tompkins, Templin hall; in a speech at Wesley Foundation on the subject of "Religious Influences on the Campus" cited the example set by the organized houses. "Look," said he, "Every year they go to church in an organized body." Sort of a sanctified line party.
U-Boat Threat To Remain, Knox Informed Navy
New York, Feb. 3 (INS) — The continued threat of submarine warfare was emphasized today by American and British naval chiefs who warned that further shipping losses must be expected before the battle of the Atlantic is won.
"The enemy submarine is our most menacing danger now," said Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox in an address before the annual Foreign Press association dinner. His voice was carried from Washington by telephone lines and reproduced over a loudspeaker system.
"We have struggled desperately to meet it but we don't yet have the equipment to do the job properly. As I have said repeatedly, we must soberly face severe losses in the months ahead until our united power conquers the U-boats . . ."
A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the British admiralty, speaking by short-wave radio, told of the activities of British corvettes and other anti-submarine craft in combatting the U-boat menace in the eastern Atlantic. Some, he said, are being operated by American sailors. All are under U.S. command.
"I myself have a particular reason to know of this constant cooperation and to be grateful for it," he related, "since an American naval aircraft sank a U-boat within some 20 miles of a British warship in which I was travelling in mid-Atlantic during last summer."
In a message, President Roosevelt called on the association to "play a great part and accept a great responsibility" in helping achieve a lasting world peace.
President Cheers Bereaved Parents
Washington, Feb. 3—(INS)—Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Sullivan of Waterloo, Iowa, whose five navy sons are missing today were in Washington visiting the President and then to start a tour of the country's production centers and urge that more planes and guns be turned out to hit the enemy.
After conferring with Rear Admiral C. H. Woodward, chief of the navy's incentive division, Mrs. Sullivan said that "we have offered out services to make a tour of defense plants to speak to the workers and to impress upon them the necessity of producing more and more ships and planes."
Survivors of Sunken Ship Landed at Miami, Fla.
10 Vote on Tax Exemption A bill to provide exemption for persons in military service from paying the state income tax during the war and six months after the war was recommended for passage by the state Senate assessment and taxation committee yesterday.
To Vote on Tax Exemption
Mrs. Sullivan still clings to hope that her five boys who were lost when the cruiser Juneau sank last November are still alive.
"I haven't given up hope as yet," she said. "They used to write letters asking us to keep our chins up."
WANT ADS
Washington, Feb. 3 (INS)—The Navy announced today that a medium-size British merchant vessel had been torpedoed and sunk during the middle of November in the Atlantic off the coast of South America. Survivors have been landed at Miami.
