MOSCOW, Tuesday, Sept. 29.— (U.P)—Two German divisions (30,000 men), supported by 150 tanks, have begun a new drive in the northwestern outskirts of Stalingrad and Russian troops are battling superior enemy forces in the whole area, the Soviet high command announced today.
Two entire regiments (about 6000 men) of German infantry and 50 Nazi tanks have been destroyed in one day’s fighting in the Stalingrad area, the midnight communique revealed.
After hard-fought engagements, a number of enemy tanks succeeded in penetrating a factory settlement* where fighting is now progressing,” the communique said.
Northwest of Stalingrad, where a Russian army has been driving into the German flank, “Soviet troops continued active operations,” the communique said. Figures so far incomplete list eight German tanks destroyed and more than 1000 Nazi troops slain in that sector in the last 24 hours, it said.
One Soviet unit holding a position taken from the Germans several days ago beat off a series of attacks and destroyed about three companies (750 men) of German infantry, it was announced. Eleven machine guns and stores of ammunition were captured from the Nazis in the Stalingrad fighting.
SG Pilot Writes Disney for Token
Don Bootsma, SC graduate and sergeant-pilot of a squadron in the Royal Canadian Air Force overseas, who is reportedly a German prisoner after he was brought down during a recent bombing, never received a coveted caricature emblem of Tommy Trojan that he had requested of Walt
Disney as a good-luck token for |
the nose of his “kite” to “keep the Jerries away.”
Bootsma had written Disney, a past-president of the Trojan club, for the caricature and the studio artists got together and. designed an action caricature of a Trojan, carrying his shield in one hand and a sword in the other as he rides a bomb through the air.
Last week the emblem was returned with the notation, “It Is deeply regretted that the addressee is reported missing on war service.”

‘ Bootsma graduated from SC in 1940 and immediately joined the RCAF. He was president of Beta Kappa, a member of Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, and Pi Sigma Alpha,* national political science organization, and Blackston-ian, pre-legal society.
