Explanation Given
Newspaper executives ami steel
men agree that eolle tion a the
vital map might be speed.-1 .1
Hty dwellers and fnrmei knew

K< ]lowing is an explanation
In nearotimo. steel mil!- ran u

scrap from then own opcnitions
and it is thrown hark into the
furnace t, make mure .‘■■teeI
But nnw the recovery is much
smaller because so much of the
production is for war purposes,
such as ingots for export to
this country's allies and plates
for ships and tanks that may be
lost at sea or in a desert.

Civilians Reported Swarming Out Of
Cellars To Help Turn Back Nazi Tide
By ROGER D. GREENE
Associated Press War Editor
Hayonct-w ivldinj! Russian troops were reported to
have sw ept the Germans from two hills northwest of Stal-
in jr rad today, cutting a wedjre into Adolf Hitler’s vital
left flank, and now the official Berlin radio openly ack-
nowledged :
"The fall of the city may he delayed for some time.’’
I h(> broadcast's alibi was that Hitler preferred a
gradual, (systematic advance
to save men. Soviet dis-
patches estimated German
losses in killed, wounded
and missing at nearly a di-
vision (15,000 troops) a
day
Hitler's field headquarters said
Nazi assault troops Captured
further fortified points in fierce
street lighting" within Stalin-
grad, and added:
Relief Attacks Launched
"Soviet relief attacks against
the northern barrier erected by
German and allied troops were
repulsed in hard fighting."
This was the third succeessive
day that the German command
noted severe defensive fighting
! against the Russian counter-of-
! tensive north of the city.
Coupled with the blow to the
Nazi left wing, the Russians de-
clared that German assaults in-
side the battle-torn Volga metrop-
olis again faltered and broke.
"The Germans got into several
houses, creating a threat to our
flanks,” Hed Army headquarters-
said in its mid-day bulletin.
"Soviet troops counterattacked
and restored the situation.
“Northwest of .Stalingrad. Ger-
man attacks were repulsed. Sm-
ut tank crews destroyed two
German tanks and wfped out
['about two enemy companies 'ap-
■ proximately 1,000 mem.
"In fighting for a populated
place, our troops wiped out about
500 Germans, took prisoners and
captured war material."
Civilians Join Fight
Civilians cf Stalingrad were
reported swarming out of their
cellars, factory shelters and
caves in the Volga cliffs to help
turn back the Nazi tide. Thous-
ands had already been with-
drawn across the river, when
Stalingrad's fall seemed inevit
able, but others refused to
leave.
Dispatches said the fighting
was so bitter that even the sur-
render of a house was regarded
as a near calamity.
