SHIP BREAKS IN HALF
II Men Lost in 

SEATTLE, Dec. GA Liberty ship which broke up in the North Pacific 100 miles off the coast of Alaska, November 18th, with the loss of II men, had 100 persons aboard, it was disclosed by John P. Gaifs. The ship, built in the Kaiser shipyards at Port- land, Ore, was bound for Se- attle.
 TO survivors were landed here on two army transports which af- fected the rescue.
 It was learned the names of the missing persons were with held since they were still sought. They were lost when the line of their boat to the rescue ship, parted, and they were believed washed under the stern of the ship in the inky darkness.
 The fost complete story was told by Able Seaman Paul Tat man, one of the last men to leave the ship, B hours after she had snapped in two like "a stick of kindling".
 Gaining and heading into strong wind, two points off the bow, Tatman's log read, she was pounding heavily, taking green ones over the fo'csle now and then.
 At 2:4l a. m. there was a loud pop and tremendous tearing and grooming sound. The ship just seemed to bend in the middle a couple of times as she rode the seas, and then parted 8. third ot the way back from the bow. The bow end, fortunately clear ot personnel, floated away in the darkness.
 After the ship broke in two. Tatman continued, four boats were launched. Captain A. W. Nickerson of Seattle, who high- ly praised the conduct through out of Eugene Butts, the first mate, remained aboard while 70 others were taken off, and was picked up later by the rescue ship.
 Both the Navy and the Coast Guard held out some hope for the safety of the eleven men in the missing lifeboat. The accident oc- cured off Shumagin Island southeast of Kodiak, November 24th.

Russians Smash
 Forward

LONDON, Dec. G. AP)- Smashing ahead northwest of Propoisk, the Red Army is threatening Mogilev, one of the last important German rail cen- ters in White Russia.
 AS other Russian units squeezed Nazi defense lines near Zhlobin, Rogachev and the Gomel area. the Red Army hurled back German counter attacks and swept for ward northwest of Proposik to capture heavily fortified strong holds of Varodol, Bahki, Zab- luka.
 Front line dispatches told of deep Russian penetrations from one end of the White Russian front to the other, and said the Germans were beginning to show signs of lack of reserves, using engineers in the first line troops and sofe of the second.
 Snow swept the front to the south in the Kremenchug area, as Soviet units captured several strong points after fierce engage ments. The Nazis were continuing to attack in the Cherkasy area between Kremenchug and Kiev, but all were repulsed.
 The German radio said the Russians had broken through the Nazi lines south of Cherkasy but ''the greater part of the penetrat- ing force was wiped out.''
