GERMANY IS GIVEN
 SPRAYING
Americans and RAF Pilots Blast Targets in Round
 inc Clock Attack

LONDON, Nov. 5-American For tresses and Liberators, escorted by Thunderbolts and Lightnings, today blasted targets in Western Ger many, and medium Marauder bomb CTS attacked targets in Northern France.
 The daylight assault came within a few hours after RAF Mosquito bombers hit the same general area last night, in the wake of the most devastating 24 hour punishment yet thrown at the Reich.
 Five aircraft were lost. Opera tions included laying mines in en- emy waters
 There was no official indication as to the size of todays force, but on the basis of Wednesdays 2,000 ton daylight attack on Wilhelm shaven, by about 1000 American bombers, and escorting fighters, it seems likely the new operation coupled with the RATS 2.000 ton attack on Dusseldorf Wednesday boosts the total tonnage loossed on the enemy in the past 48 hours to a new peak
 Last nights returning Mosquito fliers said fires still burned in Dus- seldorf from the attack when ex- plosives dropped at the rate of "A tons a minute.

The Russians hold virtually every foot of land east of the Dnieper River from it's mouth below Emerson along it's 650-mile course through the heart of the Ukraine north to Gomel as the prize of their summer campaign. This has bled the Ger mans by 2,700,O00 casualties, accord ing to Premier Josef Stalin's resume of four violent months of combat.
 The report listed 100000 Germans killed, 98,0O0 captured, and l,702.- 900 wounded, thus hoisting the Ger man casualties claimed by Russia to the astronomical figure of II ,000 ,000 of which the Russians say 5000, ,00C are dead.
 Swift sweeps over the Black Sea sands of the Southern Ukraine brought the Cossacks to the river bank opposite Kherson. 65 miles northeast of the sealed-off Crimea
 official maps published today showed the Russians in possession of all the east side of the Dnieper from Gomel to Zaporozhe. Tn the bend south of Zaporozhe the only German holdings east of the Dnieper are limited to the Crimea, thin strip 52 miles long opposite Nikopol, and minute bit of land in the Dnieper delta due south of Kherson.
 Moscow reported nothing from the Crimea, but the German radio said German troops are engaged in heavy fighting at beachheads south and east of Kursk and on the northern approaches to the Crimea. '
 Moving into newly won positions, the Red Army has achieved two breakthroughs in the German lines and are pushing westward toward the Latvian border and the old Pol ish frontier.

MORE ALLIED CONFERENCES
 COMING,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. - Presi- dent Roosevelt told reporters at his press conference that the Moscow postwar peace agreement would un- doubtedly lead to other United Ma tions meetings aboard, but said that the question of his own pros- pective conference with Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Church. ill was still undecided.
 The President added that he was still very anxious to meet Stalin, because it is always a good thing to know the other fellow.
 The other meetings Roosevelt re- ferred to would be the two com missions set up at the Moscow con- ference, one at Moscow, earlier that of the Mediterranean Commission, and the second to be set up in London. He said Secretary of State Cordell Hull would be home soon.

 IsCiven Severe Warning
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. = Not many people know it, but that pretty wife of freshman Congress man LaVern Ralph Dilweg. Demo- crat of Green Bay, Wis, is none other than Eleanor Coleman, the onetime Olympic swimming star.
 So far as the records reveal that makes the Dilwegs the only all- American family in Congress, be- cause the Representative himself was all-American end on the Mar quette team in 1925, was star of victorious Green Bay Packers in 1929. 30, '31; and for three years before giving up football in 1884, was named all-American pro end.
 Right now the Dilwegs are do- ing free-stroke and broken field dashes trying to find house in Washington that will take care of their family of six. Eleanor says winning swim championships was nothing like this. She has finally reached the point, she confesSes, where she would be willing to lease two houses, apartments or what have you; one to take care of the senior Dilwegs, the other to pro- vide a roof and four posters for Jon, Bob, Tom and Dianne, ages IA to 4 respectively.
 I don't know why a New York press agent didn't think of it soon- CT except it didn't need any pulp licity boost there and doesn't here for that natter, but when the Lynn Riggs Rodgers Hammerstein operetta oklahoma opened here at the National theater, Gov. Ro- bert Kerr and fistful of other Oklahoma state officials were house guests.
 When last seen, burly, suspen- derish Bob" Kerr and his CO., horts were getting whale of a kick out of the whole business. "Oklahoma" is, as far as any mu- sical can be, about as native as the red dust that blows out of the Can adian river bottoms. However, when they came to that line in the musi- calls smash song hit, "Oh, what a beautiful day" where the lyrical author talks about the corn being as high as an elephants eye" one of the party stage whispered to the Governor: "Lordy, what a growth season that must have been."
 Congressman James P. Jim Richards of South Carolina and a native of Liberty Hill, s. C., has only one complaint to make about what the war is doing to our liber- ties: It's depriving us of hominy grits.
 Representative Richards is just as willing as the next fellow to make war sacrifices, but when OPA starts taking away hominy grits,

SURFACE SHIPS TURNED TIDE

Foster HALEY, writing to the New York
Times, from an ,advarced base in the South
cas-, says the major issue at Guadalcanal
was never in doubt after the Japanese eff
iost was turned back in the bloody sea and
air battles of mid-NoVember
He adds, One thing he Solomons
campaign has taught is that the day CT the
surface ship has not yet passed-if any one
except the most rabid airplare fanatic ever
thought it had.
Although the record of our planes
Against the japanese ships has been much
better than their planes against us, the
heavy slugging was done by American sur
face vessels.
The Bougainville express never came
to a full halt until American surface vessels
tangled with It." s
Mr.. HALEY points out that except for
the original attack on Guadalcanal and
Tulagi, carriers have not played decisive
part in the campaign, = The story might
have been different if one side or The other
lad had carrier superiority, but as it was,
carriers largely neutralized each other

FALLEN FRANCE!

France faces the prospect of being
without bread for whole month, accord
ing to a dispatch from Berne, Switzerland
quoting the head of the French Legion of
Veterans.
This is the condition of great ration,
new in the process of collaborating with its
ccnqueror. 1t is the inevitable hunger of de-
fcat, unrelieved by the consciousness of i
heroic and valorous fight for liberty.
In years to come the French people
will have an opportunity to become the
friends of liberty and democracy but they
will owe their freedom, not to the intelh-
gence Of their leaders or the courage of
their men but to the victory that will be
gained by other free peoples, which will
automatically free France.
