MOSCOW,,Sept. 25.—(AP)—Thrown on the defensive
Stalingrad's northwestern rim by the development of the
Red Army's flanking counter-attack, the Germans were re-
ported today to have failed in fresh infiltration attempts
directly against the city while battling desperately against
the menace from the flank. The epic battle centered on the
northwestern sector where the
Russians had recaptured two
dominating heights and near
populated sections, accord-
ing to today's Stalingrad dispatches.
