RIVER SIDE IS HELD BY RUSSIANS
 \

MOSCOW, Nov. 5.-(AP)-The Russians are now in possession of virtually every foot of land east of the. .Dnieper, from the mouth to below Kherson, Malo- my. It's 50-mile course through the heart of the great Ukraine, north to Gomel, as a prize for their summer campaign, which they said bled the Germans for over 2,70O,0O0 vasualties.
 Stalin's. resume of the four month combat, listed 900,000 Germans killed, 98,000 captured, 1,702,000 wounded, thus hoisting the German casualties claimed, by Russia, to the astronomical figure of , 100000, which the Russians said, 5,000,000 dead.
 Swift sweeps over the Black Sea sands of the southern Uk- raine, brought the Cossacks to the river banks opposite Kher- son, 65 miles northwest of the sealed off .Crimea. Official maps published today showed the Rus sians possessor of all the east side of the Dnieper, from Gomel to Zaporozhe.
 In the bend south of Zaporo- :zhe, the only German holdings east of the Dnieper were limited to Crimea, thin strip, 52 miles long, opposite Kikopol, and a minute bit of land in the .Dnie- per delta due south of Kherson.
 Moscow said nothing of Cri- mea, but the German radio said German troops were engaged in heavy fighting at beach heads south and east of Kursk, and on the northern approaches to Cri- nea.
 Moving into newly>won posi- tions, achieved by two break throughs in the German lines, the Red armieS:. are pushing west ward toward the Latvian border, and the old: Polish frontier.
