the pre-season promise of having
the finest Christmas decorations
in West Texas.
The Christmas parade, com-
posed of gnomes, Mother Goose
characters, floats, the Mus-
tangs, Boy Scouts, high school
bands and others is a new,

Sweetwater this year.
It's a Christmas party to

Two Airport Runs
Not To Be Paved
Until Next Spring
Paving of two runways at
Sweetwater municipal airport
will' not be attempted until war-
mer weather in the spring, it
was indicated by airport offi-
cials Tuesday. The weather is
too cold to mix the cutback as-
| phalt, they said.
Caliche bases are down on the
north-side and the northwest-
southeast runways, and the taxi-
ways, and prime coat is down
on the north-south. Contractors
Bell and Braden will place prime
coat on the other runway and
the taxiways before halting the
paving project.
The grading project which in-
cludes six other runways and
general leveling of the airport
landing field, is expected to be
concluded about Jan. 1, 1942.
Since work began, 1.376,(Kit) cub-
ic yards of dirt have been exca-
vated, leaving about 281,000 cub-
ic yards yet to be moved.
Work on the lighting project
is expected to start as soon as
the grading program is complet-
ed.

CAIRO. Dec. ■> — (UP) —A
powerful axis tank attack broke
through the British trap in the
Libyan desert, an ifficial spokes-
man said today, renewed the
siege of Tobruk and drove Brit
ish Imperials from Sidi Rezegh
and Bir el Hamid.
(A London broadcast said ir
had been announced in Cairo
that British forces had engaged
the axis in a new battle south
of Tobruk after rushing up re-
inforcements to re-establish its
lost positions.)
"The <.i rinans nipped off
the very end of the appen-
dix that han-ed their way
westward and made a junc-
tion in the Sidi Rczcgh-Bir
el Ha in ill -Zaaran triangle,"
the spokesman said in de-
scribing the setback.
(In London, a British military
spokesman said that "this is one
round for them but the next
round is coming up and it can
be ascumed that operations are
now taking place to restore the
corridor from Tobruk to Sidi
Rezegh." Heavy British tank
and infantry reinforcements
were rushing into the Ifattle
j zone.)
The Germans under Gen. Er-
win Rommei and the Italian
j Ariete (battering ram) division,
I all of which repeatedly had been
attacked by the British, joined

United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. 2—(UP)—The Red army officially claimed
smashing triumphs today in bitter fighting on the Moscow, Len-
ingrad and Rostov fronts.
Official Soviet dispatches broadcast by the Moscow radio said
that the Germans were fle.ing after abandoning equipment on
the Tula sector, south of Moscow, and were threatened with disas-
ter by Red army gains in the Taganrog sector of the Ukraine as
they fell back from Rostov.
The Russians claimed these triumphs:

Christmas shoppers reflecting
the "temper of the times" at
crowded gift counters across
the nation are boosting holiday
sales to the highest level in
history.
Metchants from coast to coast
reported in a United Press su"-
vey that sales volume averaged
20 per cent above the peak for
1929 and 35 per cent higher
than tfist year. The compari-
son with 1929 did not show all
| the increase because retail pii-
ces still lag 12.5 per cent behind
the 1929 level.
A record industrial payroll
and booming farm prices re-
flected heavy defense spending
were regarded as major causes
for the buying spree. Fears ex
pressed by some purchasers
over shrinking supplies of con
sumers' goods also appeared to
be an important factor.

Inquiry Lodged
Concerning Moves
In Indo-China
Special To Game
Waits On Demand
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 —
(UP)—The United States was
understood to have asked Jap-
an today for an early answer to
last week's statement of basic
American principles and to have
renewed its inquiries regarding
tlie movement of Japanese troops
in French Indo China.
The request was said to have
been made by Undersecretary
of State Sumner Welles who
called to his office for a 35-
minute conference the two Jap-
anese diplomats who have been
conducting conversations with
the United States.
Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura,
the Japanese ambassador, and
Saburo Kurusu, the special en-
toy, made one of the shortest
calls of the special conversa-
tions which have been in pro-
gress here for two weeks.
At the end of the talk, Nomu-
ra said tersely:
"I can't reveal anything.
He (Welles) talked and we
listened."
Before going into the confer-
ence the envoys told reporters
that Japan was giving weighty
consideration to its reply to the
statement of principles present-
ed last week by Secretary of
State Cordell Hull.
There have been indications
in Washington that the United
States does not intend to permit
lengthy procrastination before
the official attitude of Japan is
made known to this govern-
ment.
Both diplomats said they had
not brought Japan's reply,
which they said was being shap
ed in Tokyo only after long J
and careful deliberation.
Secretary of State. Cordell ;
Hull remained at home with a.
slight cold anil Welles called in i
the diplomats, presumably for a j
discussion of the week-end i
speech of Premier General Hide j
ki' Tojo, who was reported to
have declared that American
and British interests must b"
purged from tho Far East
Talking to reporters before
the conference. Nomura said
that the Japanese attitude was
one of avoiding war if possible.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 2—(UP)—
A strong British fleet, includ-
ing the new 35,000-ton Prince of
Wales and another mystery cap-
ital ship, arrived today to bol-
ster Great Britain's far eastern
precautions against a clash with
Japan.
The war fleet appeared from

the Singapore naval base. It
was clearly visible from the of-
fices of the Straits Times news-
paper in the heart of Singa-
pore.

Building Program
r o
A meeting was held jn the
commission chambers in the
city hall, this morning for the
purpose of discussing plans
whereby Sweetwater could take
advantage of its recent designa-
tion as a defense area, and
therefore entitled to home con-
struction financing under title
VI of FHA.
The session was called by P.
Ed Ponder, chairman of the
housing committee of the Board
of City Development. The prin-
ciple discussion revolved
around a report made by R. C.
Hoppe, city manager, who was
chairman of a group which made
a special trip to Lubbock and
Mineral Wells to investigate the
methods used at those points.
Hoppe outlined briefly the
findings of his group and stat-
j ed that, in Lubbock, the build-
| ing under title VI was being
| done by a building corporation
formed by local citizens, each
subscribing a certain amount of
money. Forty houses are now
under construction there, he
said. In Mineral Wells houses
were built by a corporation and
also individuals. At both places
full 90 percent financing was be-
ing allowed by FHA. In Lub-
bock. the construction was con-
fined to five-room houses of
around $4,000 valuation.
Th,v consensus of the Hirel-
ing seemed to lie that a sur-
vey should he made a.s to
what lots are available in
Sweetwater and at what
prices. It was pointed out
that the price of the lots
could hardly gxrped a riVn-
i in u in figure in order to
build a house within the
financing limitations.
On being questioned, real es-
tate agents present estimated
that from 15 to 25 such houses
could be disposed of in Sweet-
water at the present time. Don
Smith a member of the group
stated that he felt the FHA au-
thorities might give some pref-
erence to individual projects.
Under title VI, the house can
either be rented or sold,
of a sale the full 90%
available to the builder
er.
