Show PAGE TWO PROVO (UTAH) DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL' 9, 1943 Red Army Repulses Nazis; 1000 Killed i By HENRY SHAPIRO . United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, April 9 U.R) The Red army has killed nearly 1,000 enemy troops in repulsing a series of German attacks along a 20-mile stretch of the Donets river below Kharkov in the past 24 hours, the Soviets announced today. Some 750 of the enemy weret -r M 5 !ain in fighting south of Balak- leya, where the Germans shifted the main weight of their Donets attacks following repeated fail-i fail-i ures to dislodge the Soviets from their south bank bridgehead below be-low Izyum, 27 miles to the southeast. south-east. Upwards of 1,000 German infantrymen, in-fantrymen, supported by 12 tanks, moved against the Russian Rus-sian lines below Balakleya, 45 miles southeast of Kharkov, yesterday, yes-terday, but were thrown back in disorder by an intensive Russian artillery and mortar barrage. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Russians counter - attacked and pursued the Axis troops back to their original positions. More than 350 Germans were killed and four Axis tanks crippled. In an adjacent sector, the Russians killed 200 more enemy officers and men in an advance that carried car-ried into favorable positions. The Germans renewed their attacks under cover of darkness last night, but once again were thrown back by concentrated mortar, machine-gun and rifle fire that killed at least 200 of them. Axis forces also launched small-scale small-scale attacks south of Izyum, but were repulsed with a loss of 200 men and two tanks. Two Russian Rus-sian scouts last night crept through the German lines into an occupied village, where they opened fire with tommy guns and killed 10 German soldiers. The scouts returned to their own lines safely. ROMMEL THIRD WARD CHOIR Tho Third ward choir members are to meet for a special rehearsal rehear-sal Sunday morning after Sunday school.

That time the gamble succeeded and the British tank force was almost destroyed, but it was the failure of his opponents' tactics which gave Rommel his victory. Once more Rommel gambled when he struck hard at El Ala-mein Ala-mein at the end of August last year and expected to burst through to the Nile delta. This time again, he deliberately sent his armor in to the midst of the enemy lines. It cost him over 100 tanks and the Afrika Korps never quite recovered. After the British attacked El Alemein he had to play it cautiously cau-tiously until he reached Mareth. He had nothing with which to gamble. There, he re-equipped his Panzers, filling the gaping holes with the elite 90th light division. Then, refreshed, he started another an-other gamble in the Sidi Bou Zid and Kasserine attack, relying on his knowledge that General Montgomery Mont-gomery would refuse to move until un-til ready. Although he inflicted heavy losses on the Americans at Kasherine, he finally paid dearly and was forced to give up all the ground he had gained. A few days later he lost at least 53 tanks against almost no British tanks when he tried to surprise Montgomery below Mareth. Ma-reth. Rommel has fought several brilliant bril-liant campaigns and may fight several more. The American and British commanders will consider themselves lucky if Hitler leaves the man who has been publicized beyond any other general, to be captured when the Tunisian campaign cam-paign reaches a showdown.

"Isn't the president breaking the stabilization stabil-ization line right there?" But Mr. Roosevelt, in a statement state-ment accompanying the executive order, made it unmistakably clear that he plans to fight It out wih congress to assure continuance of an even more stringent basis of the anti-inflation program he set up last fall when he made James F. Byrnes the director of economic stabilization. ' "I am exerting every power I possess to preserve our stabilization stabiliza-tion program," Mr. Roosevelt said. "I am sure the congress will cooperate." Asks Celling Prices Specifically, Mr. Roosevelt's executive order provided: 1. Price Administrator Prentiss Pren-tiss M. Brown and Food Administrator Admin-istrator Chester C. Davis are to have control over all prices and were instructed immediately to place ceiling prices "on all commodities com-modities affecting the cost of living." liv-ing." AnX further increase in ceiling prices was banned "except to the minimum extent required by law." If congress wants the farmer to get more money for his crops, congress must provide for it with subsidy money. 2. The war labor board was directed "to authorize no, further increases in wages or salaries except ex-cept such as are clearly necessary to correct substandards of living" and aside from "reasonable adjustments ad-justments of wages and salaries in case of promotions, reclassifications, reclassifi-cations, merit increases, incentive wages or the like." Mr. Roosevelt also specifically provided that the "little steel formula" for-mula" of wage stabilization be rer tained by the WLB as its primary pri-mary yardstick, labor demands for abandonment of the formula to the contrary notwithstanding. . Bans Job Switching 3. War Manpower Commission Commis-sion Chairman Paul V. McNutt was told to forbid "employment by any employer of any new employee, em-ployee, or the acceptance of employment em-ployment by a new employee" except ex-cept as authorized by WMC regulations. regu-lations. The purpose of this order, the president said, was to prevent job switching for higher wages "unless the change of employment would aid in the effective prosecution prose-cution of the war." 4.

Byrnes was given the power of approval over any phase of the economic stabilization program. pro-gram. ' ' ... The war labor board took the first step to implement the president's presi-dent's order.

President Roosevelt's statement state-ment was a general warning ; to all special groups such as the con gressional farm bloc and labor that competition for higher prices f and wages must end because the i-esulting conflict will "not only cause inflation, but will breed disunity at a time when unity is essential."
