New Haven, Conn., oct. IA
Musical Menu" Is the latest inno-
walton for lunching cadets Of the
Army Air Forces Training Com
mand's Technical school at Yale.
Each day, as the hungry future Of
flcers fiie into woolsey Hall for their
MONDAY meal, they're told In
boogie-woogie style what 70 expect
IN the way Of food.
Cpl. Ray Mckinley, who leads the
unit Of the 4leEh AAF Band that
plays during cadet lunches, Is the
"Callory Composer" Just before the
flrst Of the eaters enters, Mckinley
dashes over TO the serving tables,
takes a quick glance at what's 70
be served, dashes back to his band
stand, and within O few short mini
utes has set the complete menu 10
boogie- woogie lyrics. Then, as the
AAF cadets come in, and his band
plays hoogie-woogie fill-ins behind
him, he greets them with something
like this:
Hello everybody, glad to zee you all,
You know that you are welcome TO
the OIL mess hall;
And even though you're probably
too tired to care,
Stlll you might like to know what's
on the bill Of fare.
First thing on the menu may not
sound too tasty,
But before you think or say any.
thing that's hasty,
That the Irish are strong Is time

Remember they got that way eatin'
corned beef and cabbage.
The next thing on the counter, as
you step on down,
As the poet says, potatoes, roasted
golden brown"
Following Which, without q mo-
nent's indecision,
Is plenty of the stuff that makes

For II you don't like this, your head

What Else? - Chocolate and marsh

That's ell for today, now we gotta

To tighten up your lunch with some
swingln' and swayin',
So thank you very much - though
it's not too new,
The first tune on the program Is

Cpl Mckinley writes verses like
these each day. Depending upon In
spiration, they run from three to
seven stanzas.

Of Fiume, Is one Of the outer-most

Quarnaro In the northeastern corner
Of the Adriatic It is 20 miles long

The Jugoslav broadcast, which APP
peared to be cofnmunique from
Tito's headquarters, also reported
that Guerilla forces had captured
the towns Of Bpelopolje, Veluki and
Bjelina in Montenegro.
Another Tito communique, record

that the German air force In Cen

terrupted and merciless attacks
against unprotected towns and vii

It said partisans were attacking
Nazi occupation forces In Sanksark,
Montenegro, and Herzegovina and
heavy fighting had developed around
the towns Of Drnis and Knin and
the Cettina River In Dalmatta.

American planes and warships are
turning their attack to Choiseul
Island, now being used as O staging
point for the Japanese evacuation
to Bougainville.
While isolated bands Of enemy
troops still were believed fighting
on Vella Lavella Island, Just north
Of Kolombangara, and entrenched
on Choiseul, to the northeast, the
victory apparently gave the Aineri-
can forces under Admiral william
r. Halsey, Jr., control Of the CEN
trail Solomons.
Only Barrier
The only important barrier to q
direct offensive against Rabaul
now would be the Japanese bases
on Bougainville and Buka Islands,
Ilorthernmost Of the Solomons
The battle for control Of the cen
tral Solomons opened June 80 when
American forces stormed ashore on
Rendova Island, west Of New Geor-
gle. It's end was foreshadowed sew
eral weeks ago when Halsey's men
made a surprise landing on Vella
Lavella and sealed on the Japanese
supply lines to Kolombangara.
With the abandonment of Kolom-
bangara in full swing, American
Liberator bombers and lightning
fighters struck heavily into the
northern Solomons to pound the
Kahili airdrome on Bougainville.
An undisclosed number Of enemy
planes were destroyed on the ground
and nine intercepting fighters shot
down without loss to the raiding
forces.
Allied fighters. in a sweep on the
west coast Of Choiseul Island SUM-
day, destroyed IS enemy barges. A
heavy patrol bomber shot down one
Of six japanese planes that at
tackled 1t, while light naval units
sank an enemy gunboat in q night
action nearby.

the forests west Of the Dnieper as
long as two weeks ago, when they
reached the east bank-presumably
by parachutists.
The first powerful mechanical
units which forced the Dnieper OPP
posite Pereyaslav wiped out consid-
cradle German forces on the bank
and storined the high west bank
which was attacked simultaneously
by Partisans from the rear.
The Russians forced the river u1-
der cover Of night through q MUIR
derous German artillery barrage,
They erected pontoon bridges and
launched hundreds Of rowboats and
ferries, while some units SWAN
across. Soviet forces used German
pontoon boats captured last winter
on the Don and Donets rivers.
Before crossing in the Pereaslav
area, the Russians trapped large
German force on the east bank,
routed 1t into o swamp, and tommy
gunners moved down Its men from
the rear. The survivors persisted In
the swamp.
Red Star attributed the success
In the first crossings to the swift
destruction Of the last Germans on
the east bank Of the river and the
selection Of the spot where the Ger
mans least expected crossing.
Other Soviet armies to the north
surged through Newell, only 90 miles
east Of the Latvian border, on a
IS 1-2 mile-front and captured
Kirishi, 80 miles southeast Of Len
ingrad, in twin drives apparently
designed to knock out the Nazi
salient before Leningrad and liber.
ct the Baltic states.
Still another Russian force was
hopping up the last remnants Of
the battered German garrison at
the western end Of the Taman PEN
inSula opposite the Crimea-thus
completing the liquidation Of the
Nazi bridgehead In the northwest
Caucasus.
Resting only week to re-group
and reinforce their armies after O
three month summer offensive that
sent the Germans Keeling back more
than $50 miles from Kharkov, the
Russians pushed across the Dnieper
in strength and established bridge
heads north Of Kiev; south Of PEREZ
yalav, 30 miles southeast Of Kiev,
and southeast Of Kremenchug, 1i6
miles southeast Of Kiev.
Newell, an important junction on
the Warsaw-Velikie Luki and Len.
ingrad- Odessa Railways, fell to the
Russian after q two-day battle pre-
coded by q terrific artillery and
bombing barrage.

would be drawn from the British
Ninth and Tenth Armies IN the Lev
ant under Gen. Sir Maitland Wilson.
Official communicates said the out
numbered British garrison still was
fighting on Cos, though 1t had aball-
doned the town OF Cos and the
strategic airflelds on the island.
Though reports Of Nazi landings on
Leros and SamoS, to the north, have
not been confirmed officially, the
British garrisons were known to be
small and incapable Of prolonged
resistance against strong invasion
forces.
All three islands lie of the south
west coast Of Turkey and provide
convenient bases for air attacks on
Crete and Rhodes, both Of which
they outf1ank, and could serve as
a springboard for further conquests
in the Aegean, possibly including
Greece itself.
The whole British campaign in
the Aegean today looked like an
other case of too little and too
late" though that strategy was
supposed to have been buried with
the final Allied offensive in North
Africa.
Strategy Secret
Just what the British strategy
was in the Aegean is not now known
in London, but it apparently relied
on considerable assistance from the
Italians, who outnumbered the Ger
mans in the Dodecanese by between
three and five to one.
The Germans in the Aegean re-
acted to the Italian surrender, how
ever. in the same way their forces

Other Highlights
Other highlights as reported by
Senators who sat through yester-
days nearly four-hour session:
!, The British have large forces
OF men under arms In India but
haven't used them against Japan in
any force yet.
2. The British substitute their own
identifications for American mark
ings on lend-lease goods and trans
ship them to Turkey and india to
build up relations which may reap
postwar economic benefits.
3. American soldiers complain
that after they capture Pacific Is
lands British diplomats follow into
the territory and set up British rule.
4. The United States needs q sim
liar lyco-ordinated policy wherein
the military and diplomatic efforts
are geared to greatest advantage for
postwar trade.
s. The United States should de-
nand postwar rights to naval and
aviation bases being built with
American funds, both for military
and economic reasons, and use lend
lease aid as a bartering point II
necessary.
8. Australian newspapers often
are nlghly CRITICAL OF The United
States and many Australians ap-
parently believe the U. s. has post
war designs on some Of their ter
ritory.
2. The British accept under
lend-lease some supplies-such as
petroleum-which they could fur
niSh the Allied war effort them
selves.
8. The Chinese are doing little
actual fighting against Japan, prin-
cipally because they have little to
fight with.
8. Any foreign relief should be
handled by the army and on a
temporary basis to avoid building
up a huge civilian relief organiza-
ton abroad.
10. The United States generally
has underestimated Japanese pro-
duction of planes, ships and other
war material. Japanese planes are
improving in quality but the caliber
of their pilots is on the decline.
IL. Both Germany and Japan are
far from collapse and there is a
long, hard fight ahead.

in italy did. In Italy, the Allied
Fifth Army landed on the Salerno
Gulf to find the Germans in full
possession and the proposed aerial
descent on Rome had to be called
of because Italian morale was in
sufiicient even to hold out against
a handful Of Germans.
In the Aegean, the Germans took
over Rhodes and disarmed the
Italians and then similarly dis
armed other Dodecanese garrisons.
Then they counter attacked Cos In
an effort to consolidate the fringes
Of the Aegean.
Military observers In London
were troubled by the apparent
British reversion to penny packet

insufficient men and arms 10 hold

authorities said.
Only IS Of the raiders penetrated
the terrific London anti-aircraft
barrage, six Of them between S:15
and $3.50 p. m. and nine between
9:45 and II p. m. Three raiders were
shot down over eastern and south
ern England.
An authoritative statement ridi-
culed headlines In British newspa-
pers likening the raid to the $50
ton attack May 10, l94l, and said
there had been at least three raids
this year against London which
were on o larger scale.
1.-THE raid on London was entire
~ devoid Of any military signifi-
cance," the statement said. 1T was
made obviously only for propaganda
purposes. Misleading accounts, In
fact, already are circulating. Per-
haps the most absurd Of these Is
one which describes the raid as
comparable with that Of May 10,
l941."
The statement was the first Of its
kind ever issued by British author
tiles and was made to Offset Ger
man claims to having made a heavy
retaliation attack.
Bombs On South England
Bombs also were dropped In East
Anglia and Southeast England.
The British formations which at
tackled Germany last night were be-
lieved some 10 times greater than
the go Naz aircraft which bombed
England. Watchers on the English
southeast coast said the great
formations Of four-engined Lancas-
tiers, Strings and Halifaxes, plus
twin-engined Mosquitoes, streamed
overhead for nearly three hours on
