Troops Slice

Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Nov.
i-(UP)-Allied troops slicing into
the little Rommel line for q pos
sible thanking maneuver seized five
towns yesterday, including the key
junction of Teano which was
wrested from the Hermann Goering
division in q stiff battle.
The Fifth and Eighth Armies
each drove a spearhead mot the
German positions before the main
defense line, and each was aimed
northwestward behind the Massico
ridge in the coastal area, which a
commentator emphasized the Nazis
would yield only II they faced an
initiation.
After capturing Teano. four and
one-half miles north Of Franchise
near the vital Capua Rome high
way, the Fifth Army units were
tanning out swiftly through the
disjointed German defense area.
The second most significant AL

capture by the Eighth Army Of

Also captured were Macchia
Godena, three miles northeast OF
Cantalupo, and Frosolone. three

Mayoralty Election Strauss

New York, Nov. /. (UP)-A scat
tering Of statewide and local cleo
ton tomorrow will provide a pre-
presidential year test Of the New
Deal Democratic coalition which put
President Roosevelt in ONCE In 1882
and has kept him there for three
terms.
The most significant test Of New
Deal Democratic strength comes In
New York and New Jersey where
Democratic success In statewide
contests admittedly depends on
labor support. A Kentucky guber-
material contest will sample border
states sentiment. Mayoralty cleo
lions In Philadelphia and Detroit
may indicate how Pennsylvania and
Michigan will cast their presidential
electoral votes next year-especially
II Mr.. Roosevelt Is fourth term

Up TO Lewis
To Decide

Washington, Nov. 1-(UP)--John
l.. Lewis faced one OF the biggest
decisions of his life today IN q
wartime labor crisis created by the
fourth work stoppage In the coal
mines within six months.
As the general walkout OF $50, 600
anthracite and b!tuminous miners
got underway, the United Mine
Workers 200-man policy committee
converged on washington to make
decisions on which will depend how
and when the mines will be re-
opened.
The committees meeting, sched-
uled for II a. m. was postponed
until 3 D. IN. due to transportation
difficulties" Members were travel
ing to Washington from 20 states.
A general walkout Of the $50 600
anthracite and bituminons miners
began at midnight under the United
Mine Workers traditional policy OF
mo contract, no work"
How and when the pits Will be
reopened depended upon the deci-
sions forthcoming from the meeting
Of the UNIV 2o0-man policy COM
mittee at II a. m. EWT.
The policy committee almost al
ways follows Lewis guidance, even
though his defiance of the national
administration wartime labor poll
icies have led to four critical
sctrikes since May l.
Harder This Time
But this time, Lewis decision will
be harder to make.
II he decides to keep the miners
out OF the pits he and his men face
the promise Of decisive action" by
President Roosevelt who has legis-
lation 10 support his threat In this
strike.
II he decides TO send the miners
back to WORT and recommend that
they accept the War Labor Boards
wage adjustments, he almost GER
tainly faces dissatisfaction and re-
volt In many coal fields.
Lewis has been unable to stop
wildcat strikes which spread during
the las two weeks until 100000 men
were idle before the general work
stoppage began last midnight. The
general stoppage resulted from the
expiration Of working truce which
was ordered by the union June %
TO allow more time to negotiate a
new wage contract.
Failure OF the union TO act today
probably would lead TO government
seizure Of the mines and perhaps
imposition Of severe penalties on the
union,

Soviet armored and motorized
spearheads cut deeper and deeper
into the heart OF the fleeing Ger
mans, leaving behind tens and thou
sands of Nazi stragglers to be
mopped up by the cavalry and In
fantry.
The battle OF the Nogaisk steppes
appeared slated to go down in his
tory as one OF the most disastrous
defeats ever suffered by the Ger
man army.
(The German high command ad-
mitted only "break through" by
Russian forces south Of the Dnieper
and said violent" fighting Is In
progress but gave no details. The
Berlin radio communique described
defensive fighting by Nazi forces
elsewhere on the Russian front0
Main Crossing ~
Khakavka, the main crossing Of
the lower Dnieper, also was by
passed by the speedy Soviet advance
toward EMERSON, but another Rus
sian column was moving toward the
city from the east.
The Russians we're almost within
sight OF the entire left bank Of the
Dnieper from a poitn below Niko-
pol to one below Nikopol to one
below Khakovka.
The Russians thrust to the Black
Sea beyond Perekop followed the
capture Of Chaplinka, IA miles north
of Perekop, and more than 200 other
villages In lightning 24-hour dash
across the Nogaisk steppes. The last
railway and both highways from the
Cremea have been cut.
The only escape from the Nazis
still remaining In the Crimea Is by
sea. The Germans were reported
to have built piers along the Cri-
mean west coast for Just such an
emergency, but their use probably
will be neutralized by the Russian
Black Sea fleet and the Red Air
Force.
Weapons Abandoned
The Germans attempted one
counter-attack to stem the Soviet
tide, but resumed their retreat at
greater speed after losing 1000 men
and l6 tanks. Nazi troops ADAM
doned their weapons In wholesale
lots in their race to escape Russian
flying columns that cut them down
by the thousands.
1.-THE enemy Is suffering enormous
losses In men and material" the
Soviet high command said In It's
Sunday midnight communique. "Pur-
sued by Soviet troops, he Is retreat
ing and leaving behind artillery.

ammunition. A large number Of
prisoners have been retaken."

The Fortresses swept across the
