"The people of Poland last winter burned their own clothing rather than give it to the nazis," he said, explaining the Polish reaction to a nazi edict confiscating clothing last winter. He called th plight of Greece the greatest tragedy in the world, pointing out that 500 Greeks are dying each day in the eity of Athens because of disease and hunger. This mortality rate is believed to prevail thruout the country, he indicated, and unless the Greeks get help the entire nation will be exterminated in two years. Classes Meet In Hills. "In China," he asserted, "there were 102 universities five years ago, while now there are 130, their classes meeting in the hills." Wilson quoted the statement of a Russian who said when he needed food and there was none: "I ate horse meat, chewed the leg of a dead horse, ate the bark off trees."

Moscow (U.R) The. defenders of Stalingrad have improved their positions and killed an additional 3,000 Germans, the initiative alternating between the Russians and the nazis, battlefront dispatches said Tuesday. These dispatches suggested that the defenders, having smashed the latest German offensive, probably soon would have the initiative entirely in their hands. "In the Stalingrad area, Soviet troops repelled small attacks," the Soviet noon communique said. "In the southern part of the town a Soviet unit captured booty in a local attack.

"A Soviet gun crew at point blank range annihilated a company (200 men) of the enemy. "On another sector, Soviet ar-tillery dispersed a battalion men)." Attacking Monday, Red army forces in Stalingrad had dislodged the Germans from positions they occupied three days ago, killed up to 1,500 troops and destroyed two tanks, six guns and three planes. (Gen. Ditmar. the German high command's spokesman, tried to explain on Radio Berlin why Stalingrad had not been taken.

(He admitted that the capture of Stalingrad was the real objective of the German campaign in Russia, but said it could not be encircled because of the Volga river and the Russians had better communications.)

"I think they brought everything they had." said Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, significantly. "As a result, all the enemy forces were either destroyed or driven back, and a major victory was obtained by our gallant forces." The admiral said he was certain the victory would result in the immediate strengthening of the hold we now have on Guadalcanal and the eventual expulsion of the enemy from that strategic island. The Japs on Guadalcanal, he said, are suffering from the lack of two things: beans and bullets.

"They have bands of men in the upper reaches of the island with radio equipment, which gives them the advantage of having reports on everything we do, all our plans and ship movements and almost complete data on our operations and forces," he told newsmen. "Our problem Is to eliminate these observation patrols so we can do something without being seen. "We know the enemy is greatly disappointed he didn't get supplies and reinforcements, and he is especially lacking in beans and bullets. "We know we have plenty of men there, and that they have enough to do the job we set out to do expel the Japs and that our men have the proper punch to do it." Nimitz estimated between 20,000 and 40.000 Jap troops went down on the sunken transports, which he described as "jammed lull." If he were a Jbp commander, he said, "I'd be sweating and bleeding if I had to explain such a loss." Our over-all loss of personnel was relatively small while that of Japan was tremendous, he said. With a further note ql optimism, Admiral Nimitz recalled that months ago he mentioned that "we were behind the eight-ball" but are looking up all the time.

It was learned that the United States consul at Tunis remained In the capital after Its occupation by the Germans but subsequently escaped. stern struggle to establish supremacy.

But he pointed out that possession of airfields aong the African coast "gives us the edge which undoubtedly will lead to victory." The British Eighth army, it was indicated Tuesday, has sent a fast column racing across the Libyan desert track due west from Mekill in an attempt to cut off the retreating fragments of the German Afrika Korpa in the vicinity of the Gulf of Sirte.

Pass Thru Derna.

The main Eighth army forces ad. vancin alone the coast road passed thru, Derna Monday. However, it was admitted that the main body of the Eighth army had now lost contact with Rommel who was retreating at full speed, virtually without rearguard forces. The British, having moved forward 400 miles in two weeks, were reported to be encountering some difficulties in moving up supplies rapidly enough to maintain close pursuit of Rommel. It was still regarded as uncertain whether.

Rommel will attempt to make any kind of a stand at El Ag-helta. This the region where the axis has twice stood and fought, bring-ing British desert offensives to a halt. Rommel's tactics at El Aghelia, it was believed, may largely be determined by events in Tunisia. -May Make Stand. If there appears to a chance for an extended stand in Tunisia.

Rommel might back all his forces thru Tripolitania and concentrate in Tunisia unless he Is Intercepted before he can get that far back. The continued advance meant that the main British forces were only 125 miles from Benghazi, the chief axis base in Libya, and it was indicated that mobile forces were scores of miles ahead. A middle eastern command communique reported that bad weather impeded allied aerial operations Monday but said fighter planes shot down a Junkers-88 dive bomber at sea off Port Said.

The Germans were unprepared for the severe Russian winter, correspondents reported, and, as during last year's biting cold, were dropping out of the battle lines with frost bite, colds, and other illnesses. The Russians, taking enemy prisoners, found them dancing in the snow, trying to keep warm. Others wrapped themselves in looted peasant shawls, felt rags, and blankets. The prisoners said the German command had not issued heavy clothing because a mild winter was expected!
