Moscow, Aug. 6 (AP) —Russia's
carefully saved reserves were moving
into the battle today as Marshal
Semeon Tiomoshenko's troops
fought back bitterly against a new
threat to Stalingrad on the battle-
ground where the fledgling Red
army made history in the 1817 re-
revolution. ,
Dispatches which indicated for
the first time that the reserves
were going into action against the
terrific German offensive said the
battle line apparently had been
stabilized at both flanks —.'near
Klelskaya. 80 miles northwest-- of
|Stalingrad, and Kushchevka, on the
Yeya river 50 miles south of Rostov.
