Russians and French
Seen Moving Toward
Close Collaboration
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, Oct. 9.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle has taken the first step
in. turning his followers and prob
| ably the postwar French govern
ment definitely toward Russia, with
the Russians reciprocating by in
tense cultivation Of the present
French leadership
Further on the political front, it
was announced today that Alexan-
der Bogomolov, Russian delegate to
the French Committee OF National
Liberation. and Edwin C. Wilson,
American member Of the new Allied
politico military Mediterranean
commission, both had arrived in
Algiers.
Gen. de Gaulles statement dur
ing speech in Corsica that the
Mediterranean is a pathway for "a
natural alliance with dear, powerful
Russia preceded disclosure that
| Bogomolov would bring large dip
lomatic mission.
To Bring Big STAFF.
Andrei J. Vishinsky, Russian
member of the Mediterranean COM
mission, is expected here soon and is
said to be bringing staff of 20
to 80 persons.
The combined staffs of Vishinsky
and Bogomolov would number, by
these accounts. more than so polit-
ical military and economic experts.
Such large number would reflect
the Importance Russia attaches to
friendly relations with the French
government.
The National Committee men,
bers are said to feel that they are
not empowered to make alliances
for postwar France, since such a
step must await formation of
complete, legally constituted au-
thority on French soil by the
French population. But that is not
preventing their orienting French
policy in the direction of close
amity with Russia
To Aid Corsica.
Gen de Gaulle also took advan-
tage of his trip to Corsica to re-
emphasize the French committees
pre-eminence over the military.
During a report to the committee
on his trip, Gen. de Gaule said the
administrative reorganization Of
the island was proceeding salts
factorily under the committee
appointed prefect, Charles Luizet.
The committee voted to help re-
habilitate the islands roads and
general economy. and appropriated
10000 francs to repair damages in
BaStla.
The Mediterranean commission
will sit in Algiers, and while its
functions have not vet been made
fully clear, it will deal with problems
arising cut of Allied occupation of
lands wrested from Axis control. 1t
is distinct from the Allied military
mission to the government Of Pre-
mier Pietro Badoglio, now function
ing in Italy, and from the AMG
Allied Military Government which
is under Allied headquarters.

The fighting is very hard and
1T IS quite natural that the battle
will sway to and fro" he said.
The Germans said the fighting in
the Liozno area was spread over a
front line more than 81 miles wide.
But Moscow dispatches reported a
final ironical touch to the day Of
bitter fighting and happy victory.
Exactly two years ago, they re-
called, the Germans announced to
the world they had exterminated the
Russian armies and were ready TO
march into Moscow.

/ out of 40 attacking Soviet tanks
were wrecked in the final fighting
and contended that the German
kuban army, together with Ru-
manian divisions, are fighting in
the southern wing of the east front
with unbroken strength"
The elimination of the Germans
from the Kuban River bridgehead
in the Caucasus ended the last Ger
man threat to Soviet oil reserves.
Nevertheless the Germans have been
forced back and now the Crimean
peninsula with its Black Sea naval
base of Sevastopol is laid open for
a Soviet attack from the east.
Dnieper Battle Continues.
It's capture would be double vic
tory for Petrov, who led the defense
of Sevastopol before its fall little
more than year ago.
A crossing of the Kerch Strait or
Black Sea should present few OBJ
stacles to the Russians, who have
been using combined Land, sea and
air operations in much of their
southern fighting. Stains order to-
day praised troops under an army
general, an air force general and a
vice admiral for their work in the
Caucasus fighting.
The battle for the bridgeheads
across the Dnieper River continued
without letup as the Soviet troops,
aided by reinforcements which piled
over at least one bridge during the
night, smashed back the rings that
encircled them.
A Berlin broadcast said enemy
pressure has increased still further"
in this fighting, but contended Ger
man defenses were intact every
where and deeply echeloned-per-
haps 80 miles to the west.
Moscow dispatches said the first
photographs from the crossings
north and south of Kiev and near
Kremenchug showed Russian artil-
lery rolling along good road

Nye 10 Resume Talks
On Food Price Study

Senator Nye, Republican, of
North Dakota said yesterday he
expects to resume conferences this
week with officials of the Federal
Trade Commission and other Gov
ernment agencies assigned several
months ago to study food prices in
Washington for Senate Agricul-
ture subcommittee.
Acting under Senate resolution,
the subcommittee's purpose is to
ascertain the spread between prices
at the farm and those paid by the
ultimate consumer op agricultural
commodities.
Senator Nye believes the inquiry
will bear out his contention that
the increase in retail levels is not
attributable to farm prices. The
inquiry is national in purpose, but
the retail study is being made here
for the convenience OF the sub
committee.

Soviet May Give Nozi Defense
Real Test, Mai. Eliot Says

one thing, which they usually do
when substantial advance has
been made. For another thing,
there has not yet been time for a
fullscale counterattack by the Ger
mans.
Defense Usually Strong.
So far, the Germans have been
able to defend wherever they found
it necessary to do so, and they have
been able to hold on as long as they
thought it necessary. Their de-
tense of the Kiev-Poltava railway
and their covering positions in the
Donetz River is the major instance
In point, and it must be remem-
bered that there they were defend
ing against Russian troops backed
by railways and established supply
depots close at hand, whereas on
the Dnieper they are defending
against Russian troops at the outer
ends Of long lines of road COM
munications, and bad roads at that.
1t is difficult to believe that the
Germans can now be driven from
carefully prepared positions until
the Russians have had plenty Of
time to organize a new attack and
a new supply system. If they can
be so driven, if the Germans now
prove unable to hold the crucial
Kiev sector against this triple
Russian assault, and If as a result
they should suffer major disaster
as they certainly will should the
Russians break through at Kiev in
force-then we shall have to make
sharp revision downward of all
our estimates OF German defen-
sive strength.
1t is one thing, of course, to es-
tablish bridgehead on the enemy
side of river 1t is quite another
to exploit that bridgehead as a base
for major operations, thus putting
the river dn the operational sense)
behind you. The soul of defense
is counterattack, and as I previously
remarked in these articles, the selec-
ton of exactly the right moment
for counterattack is not always easy.
1t depends not only on what the
attacker may be doing, but also on
the availability of troops for the
defenders purposes. The attacker
has the initiative. The defender
must wait. until he is sure what the
attacker is trying to do before he
can even issue preliminary orders
to begin the movements of his coun-
tering forces; orders which may af-
feet the movements of troops and
supplies over an area hundreds of
miles behind the points where the
fighting is to take place. No river
crossing in the face OF the enemy
can be accounted successful until
all danger Of counterattack is over
or can be met on at least equal
terms.
That is why We cannot yet as
sumo that the Russians can push
forward alor offensive from their

armored troops and truck columns

firmly established areas of maneu-
yer on the farther bank-then the
only German recourse is major
counterattack Failing this, the
German position at and behind
Kiev is imperilled, and the Ger
man troops in the bend OF the
Dnieper are threatened with dis
aster.
That this development is surpris-
ing may readily be admitted. This
writer. at least. had not expected
the Russians to be able to accom-
plish so much in so short time.

Dnieper bridgeheads. We have not

which must now be in the prepara.
tory stages.
They will come in time, and on
what happens then rests the real
test Of the Wehrmacht's ability to
defend the eastern marches of Ger
many. II the Germans cannot hold
their Dnieper line now, hold it at
least long enough to prevent the
cutting of and development of their
armies In the Dnieper bend and be-
low it in the Melitopol area, then
they are much weaker defensively
than anyone had had any previous
reason to suppose.
There has been no indication Of
such weakness in their fighting
withdrawal to the Dnieper. There
has been no indication of 1t in
Italy. But 1t may turn out that the
Germans simply cannot muster the
reserves for the task of throwing
back the Russians, who for their
part are certainly displaying an
energy, resourcefulness, and an
all-round fighting efficiency which
is beyond all praise.
The point to be made at this
moment is that we should not as
sumo, without further proof, that
the Russian crossings OF the
Dnieper are prelude to the con-
tinuance Of great Russian offen-
sive toward the Dniester and the
Carpathians, nor to a break through
which would bring disaster to
great part of the German armies OF
the south. This is a moment in
which wishful thinking shoulG be
tempered with caution. We may be
about to have real occasion to
throw up our hats and cheer. That
occasion is not yet at hand. II it
comes, 1t may mean shortening
OF the war beyond all our hopes.
