War Interpreted Rostov's Fall and Caucasus Stand
Rostov may have fallen to German forces but authorities say the city lacks strategic value and Russia will fight behind Don and Donets water barriers toward the Caucasus. German advances face natural obstacles including the Don barrier, Kerch Strait, and Kuban line as the Caucasus Army prepares along the Don. The broader campaign hinges on the Caucasus fight, with evacuees forming a last-ditch defense and Kuban Cossacks expected to resist.

Washington July 24 House approved proposal to deduct advance payments on income taxes from 1943 pay checks drew strong criticism before the Senate Finance Committee. Treasury experts defended the plan as necessary to fight inflation, with Taft and Clark labeling the levy a double tax. The measure starts at 5 percent, applies to wages above exemptions, and would raise advance receipts to about 1.25 billion in 1943 and higher in 1944.
