German war reports overestimate Sixth Army losses in relief drive

Propaganda aims to stiffen public resolve for the Führer while debating whether a broader withdrawal from the Caucasus is still possible.

Court Takes Up Case Details on Liens and Probate
The Arkansas Supreme Court partially reversed liens on an 88 piece steel derrick and machinery but sustained liens on a lease and surplus pipe tied to Stanley A. Thompson of Fort Worth. It rejected a licensing petition for George E. Williams in Hot Springs for lack of permanent residence. A Jefferson county ruling required a widow to share probate costs, and a similar decision allocated one third of liquidating costs to Mrs Elsie Jones Allen. The court also disallowed title to a 115 acre Jefferson county tract and affirmed a debt judgment against R F Griffin in Atkins.
