 The sudden blow on the extreme 60uthern tip of the 1,10O-mile battle fr0nt removed what may be the Germa1is' last chance to break into the oil fields and win the fuel they need SO badly. The Red Army did not pause in Mozdok but drove on toward the German base of Prok- hadflaya, 28 miles away.
 The Russian success did more than put the oil supplies farther out of the reach of the Germans. It threatened to split the Axis armies in Caucasus and 1t several both army of the Rostov- Baku railroad.
 There was an unbroken series of Russian gains on six battle fronts All the way from Velukie Liki in the north to Mozdok.

|RUHR ATTACKED BY R.A.F. PLANES
British BOmbers Cause Damage to Many Homes
 in Industrial Town

London, Jan. { = (UP.) - The Royal Air Force attacked the inc dustrial Ruhr in western Germany during the night in the first biz raid on the Reich in 1943.
 The air ministry announced that three planes were lost, indicating that moderately small force, poS- sibly not more than 60 or 70 planes participatde.
 CThe Berlin radio asserted that British bombers caused damage to a residential section of 8 Ruhr town with explosives and ircendiaries. Civilian casualties were reported and several planes were said to have been shot down.)
 The attack on the Ruhr followed closely a devastating raid by Amer ican heavy bombers on the German submarine base at St, Nazaire on the French west coast, and Allied air sweeps along a 400-rnile Cham mel streetch, in daylight yesterday.
 It was the fifth time that Amer ican four-engined bombers had blasted St. Nazaire. Seven bolnbers were missing, @ record loss for the giant U. s. planes. Tn raid on Ro- milly-sur- Seine on December 20, six bombers were shot down.
 The planes were. without fighter protection as they neared St. Na- zaire at the mouth of the Loire river. Fighter planes accompanied them as they crossed the English Channel both ways but the entire distance was beyond their range. St. Nazaire is BIO miles southwest of London.
 The bombers were favored by good weather and dropped explo- siveS squarely :tl the docks, starting several fires. They were attacked by enemy fighter planes. according to communique, and engaged in a long running fight.
 "A number of enemy aircraft were destroyed" the communique said.
 While this action was taking place, almost 300 Allied fighters swept over northern France from 1lcdT DEcSI LOIGIlWdEu UO beAB1uu1 and Holland without encountering a single enemy plane. The fighter op- erations lasted six hours Sunday.
 Planes of the British, Canadian, New Zealand, Norwegian, Polish and Czech air forces participated, and all returned.
 Mosquito bombers attacked rail- way targets in northern France and fighters bombed the docks at Burges Belgium, Aircraft of the army CO., operation command attacked air. fields in Holland.

Transport planes were landing troops at key points. h. fantrymen were thrown out in thin screen to try to stop the Russian heavy tanks and the thousands of troops following them. Little de- tachments were left to die at strong" points in villages where the Russians took within a few hours.
 Thousands of Axis troops were openly retreating, and Russian tanks, racing ahead of the main forces, ripped through them with cannon and machine guns blazing.
 Communiques and dispatches con- tinued to tell of great stores 9 Of weapons, equipment and supplies being captured, and of enemy troops retreating in disorder.

 German generals were deserting their troops to flee by plane. Dis- patches reported the flight of one high German general in the Velikie Luki sector and said that in the -Volga area where p German divisions, or what is left of them, are trapped, a divisional general had escaped. The plane carrying his staff crashed and 23 of the officers were killed.
