Aneta, Dutch News Agency, re-

and a three-yeal plan for Borneo.
These contemplate heavy cotton
production in Java, badly needed
fabrication OF her immense rubber

for much of the Rc1neo rubber

However long the war may last,
Congress showed its intention Of
seeing that responsibility was fix

Japanese victory at Pearl Harbor
possible. Under measure adopt

could be fixed as late as a year

GERMAN DEFENSES
CRACKED BY REDS

fresh winter armies equip.
ped with skis and sleds into the
conflict.
Seizure of a portion Of the So
mile Nazi artery between Semla
and Znamenka was accomplished
after a powerful Soviet artillery
and air barrage softened the heav-
lly-fortified area, Moscow said.
Nine hundred Germans were
killed and II enemy tanks de-
stroyed or captured as Gen. Ro-
dion Malinovsky's troops fought
their way through snowdrifts,
whipped by a bowling blizzard.
Heavy losses also were inflict-
ed on the Germans in the cap
ture of Alexandria,, and Baida-
kovka, five miles to the south,
the communique disclosed.
"Our troops captured great
amount Of equipment and anmu-
milton, and prisoners were taken"
it said.
Znamenka appeared to be about
to fall. The Russians already had
been reported only six miles from
Znamenka, and about the same
distance from Smela after by
passing Cherkasy on the Dnieper
in their thrust deep inside the
river loop.
The Russian forces which cut
the Smela-Znamenka railway, an
important link in the Nazi supply
system throughout the river bend,
were those which weeks ago had
fought their way across the Dniep-
er at Kremenchug. They were
trying to link up with other units
meeting stiff German resistance
in the Cherkasy-Smela sector.
The capture of Tsibulevo put
the Russians only % miles from
Kirovograd, and the unfolding Rus
sian offensive probably will cause
repercussions among the enemy
formations anchored between
there and the Black Sea and Ru-
mania.
A communique supplement also
said the Russians had killed 1000
Germans in beating down enemy
counter-attacks in the Chernyak-
how sector IS miles west of Kiev.
'All the attacks were repelled,"
it said.
Northwest of Gomel in the drive
on Zhlobin and Rogachev, the
Russians said Gen. Constantin Ro-
kossovksy's forces in White Rus
ia had mashed German counter
attacks and forged ahead to cap
ture several more localities
forming part of the enemy's' de-
tense system.
The southwestWard push of Cen
eral Malinovsky's troops clearly
was intended to relieve pressure
on other Soviet units fighting in
the Cherkasy sector, where Ber-
lin told of terrific Russian at
tacks. 1t also was a thanking move
on Krivoi Rog, Manganese center
to the southeast, where German
troops have been holding firmly
against weeks of Soviet assault.
