ROSTOV (Continued from Page One) communications with the Caucasus. Cau-casus. Clone In On Kalach At the eastern end of this front of about 250 miles, two German columns appeared to be closing in on Kalach, a key point on the road to Salingrad. Kalach lies in one of the easternmost bends of the Don, only 40 miles from Stalingrad Stal-ingrad and on the main rail line from the Donets Basin. Both the Germans and the Russians Rus-sians were vague as to positions in this sector, but it appeared that the enemy was close to the river barrier beyond which Moscow Mos-cow indicated the main battle would be fought in defense of Stalingrad. These Axis gains have not been either easy or cheap. The Russians, Rus-sians, probably at considerable cost to themselves, have been fighting to delay and weaken the enemy rather than to stop him north or west of the Don river. Moscow dispatches told again and again of frightful Axis losses, but these were replaced by fresh troops drawn from possibly 1,-000,000 1,-000,000 troops in the southern area. Fright ml Losse The German high command obviously ob-viously was prepared to pay dear-lv dear-lv for the campaign on the theory that it would not only deprive the Russians of their greatest oil fields which presumably will be wrecked if necessary but that it would force the Red army back across the Volga and cut off the main flow of Allied war supplies through Irak. That would be one of the hardest blows suffered by the United Nations since the wp.r opened in Russia. The Red army could fight on behind the Volga, but Its effect on the world-wide conflict generally would be far less than the key role it has played in the past. That factor has been behind the Allied plan for a second front, which so far has been limited'to mass air raids on Germany and Nazi retaliatory blows.
