The most important effect this will have on- the patrons will be to give them Saturday afternoon de livery, for the city carriers will be required to work on Saturday af ternoons in order to complete the 48 hours. Additional pay is being given for the additional 8 hours now to be required of all regular post office employees, thus the return to the 48 hour minimum work week does not cause a lowering of the hourly rate of pay.

A Russian drive southward now would threaten with encirclement the entire German forces retreating down the Stalingrad-Caucasus railroa-1. At advancing intervals the red army swept through German held towns and villages on four fighting fronts during a night of relentless at tacks by infantry, cavalry, tanks and ski troops, the noon communique re ported. Dispatches said that the Germans had little hope of reinforcement be cause the Russians were 6teadily increasing their threat to main com munication lines.
