CAROLINA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1042 (Eight Pages) -NUMBER 84 WAR NEWS London, Sept. 30. ? The British nation learned from Prime Minis ter Churchill today that the over all Allied loss at Dieppe last August 19 was "nearly half" of the total force which participat ed. , Simple arithmetic, taking Churchill's statement and the Canadian government's previous announcement of 3,350 Canadian casualties, or two out of three Canadians participating, showed that the whole force which as saulted the German-held city was close to 7,000. Churchill spoke to a House of Commons which shortly thereaf ter prolonged Its life for another year. It adopted, 215 to 9, a gov ernment bill which means that there will be no general election for at least another year. It was the third such extension since the war began. The house as a whole received its last mandate from the people In 193S, three years before Munich. Normally there would have been a general election in 1940. ?' Despite its ready passage!, the bill was criticized by some mem bers and by Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, which asked "Who will dare say -that the present house Is the- best obtainable?" On th'e floor of the house there were complaints that the wartime political truce is "immoral" and -ttiat the Conservative party ma chine was treating the house "as sort of a home for pensioners." Moscow, Thursday, Oct. 1. ? German tank forces gained ground In Stalingrad's northwestern out skirts yesterday while In the Cau casus the Red army smashed an entire Rumanian mountain divi sion, which suffered 8,000 cas ualties, the Soviet command an nounced today.

"At the cost of heavy losses, the enemy on one sector pressed hock our units," {be bulletin said. **In these battles 16 enemy tanks, 14 motor vehicles, and two mor tar batteries were destroyed, and about two battalions (1,000 men) of enemy Infantry were annihilat ed.
