Positions Seized
On River Facing

Announce Successes
All Along Front to
Sea Of Azov
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Red
Army In a new plunge has
reached the edge OF the prize
Axis bastion Of Bryansk, Moscow
announced tonight, amid other
Russian successes all along the
great front stretching southwark
to the Sea of Azov.
A s to 8 mile gain carried the Red
Army through several OF Bryansk,s
rail stations and functions on the
left bank Of the Desna River.
The city itself lies on a high blun
on the right, or western bank, op-
posite the advancing Russians.
Thus our troops have come right
up to the town of Bryansk," said
the communique recorded by the
Soviet monitor.
Two functions Taken.
Russian guns now are in position
to shatter the German redoubts and
break the last major hinge connect-
ing the enemy's crumbling southern
and central front.
The bulletin said the Soviet forces
had occupied the two outlying Bry-
ansk rail functions, but not the
town itself"
Bryansk appears to be on the verge
OF being liberated after nearly two
years Of German occupation.
In other fresh successes all along
the front the communique said the
Russians driving toward the Kono-
top-Kiev railway had reached q
point only IL miles from the juno
ton city OF Nezhin, thus putting the
Red army only 48 miles from the
Ukraine capital at Kiev.
More than 80 localities fell to the
swift Russian units chasing the Ger
mans out Of the Donets basin toward
the Dnieper River bend. One re-
captured district center, Bolshaya
Yanisol, lies 20 miles west and
slightly south Of Stalino.
Roslayl Threatened.
Roslavl, midway between Bryansk
and Smolensk on the central front,
also was threatened by Soviet units
which punched out a gain Of nearly
4 miles during the day.
The stab at Bryansk threatened to
unsettle the entire northern end Of
the 600-mile active Russian front.
Other Red Army columns cut the
Bryansk-Vyazma railroad at Bitosh.
40 miles north of Bryansk, leaving
only the railroads through Roslavl
and Gomel as possible avenues of es-
cape for the Nazis. Roslval, 80 miles
northwest, already was menaced by
another Russian column. Capture
OF that city would place heavy pres
sure on Smolensk, which is the main
German base in the central front,

Traffic
May Violate ice Law,
Bus Official Testifies
Passengers Are Brought
To Lincoln Memorial
From Virginia Building

An official of the Alexandria,
Bancroft and Washington Tran
sit Co. today admitted the COM
pany may be violating the In
terstate Commerce Act in dis
charging at Lincoln Memorial
passengers from the Navy Annex
in Arlington, but he said the plan
was adopted at the insistence of
the Navy.
Testifying at the ICC hearing on
trans-Potomac bus rates, Robert T.
Mitchell, vice president and traffic
manager, said Navy Annex employees
are charged S cents one way-an
intrastate fare-although they ac-
tually cross the State line into
Washington. The official pointed out
that these passengers formerly were
discharged on the Virginia side of
the Memorial Bridge, but later, at
the request of the Navy, were un-
loaded at Lincoln Memorial.
Says Traffic Is Decreasing.
Under questioning by Robert E.
Quirk, company counsel, Mr.. Mitchell
claimed that the number of pas
sengers carried by his line to Gov
ernment buildings in Arlington was
falling off. He attributed this to the
War Departments urging employees
to form car pools and to what he
said was a dropping off in Govern
ment personnel.
Mr.. Mitchell said there were about
1900 fewer civilian employees at the
Army Air Force Annex than in
March. The bus line serves this area.
The official pointed out that if
the Government were to remove
tire and gasoline restrictions, "it
would materially decrease traffic on
our line" estimating that IS per
cent OF all company revenues was
derived from serving military estab-
llshments in Arlington.
To Complete Testimony.
The War and Navy Departments,
which are urging a reduction in bus
fares to their buildings in the dis
puVeo area, were expected to close
their case before the ICC sometime
today.
The Government called as one
OF its final witnesses Maj. Paul L.
Ristroph, who gave the results of
trafflc checks made last Friday and
Saturday at the Pentagon Building.
He said the Capital Transit Co,
on Friday made a total of las
trips using 81 different buses. The
next day War Department check
ers counted 165 trips employing So
separate buses, he said. officials
OF the local transit company testi-
fed they allocate approximately 95
buses on the Pentagon run and
average approximately 80 buses
during peak rush hours.

The jurist stated, however, that
counsel In the case should file briefs
within ten days outlining the basis
FOR rent judgment and states final
Judgment IN the case win not be
uttered until then.
The plaintiff claimed she bought
he premises, which consist Of IS
lcres Of land, a house, q barn, and
\ gasoline station and lunch room,
November II, 1871, from the execu-
tors Of the estate Of the late William
A. Steeyes. The defendant, who
Is q daughter Of Mr.. Sleeves, was
occupying the premises at the time
and refused to quit them, claiming
her father had entered into an
agreement whereby the property
would be hers after she made i'm
provements. The defendant alleged
the improvements cost $4,000.
In a special defense and counter
complaint entered by the Prospect
woman 5000 damages were sought.
She claimed the conveyance prom
ised by her father was not made
by the time Of his death and the
executors refused to grant It.
1.-THE jurist points out that the de-
PENDANT received income from the
premises in excess Of the amount
she spent for improvements. He
states also that she claimed no In
terest in the property when the
executors brought a title clearance
action, and that previously she had
accepted 5000 In full settlement Of
her claims. He adds that the plain
tiff had indicated intention to buy
the premises and they were sold to
the plaintiff only after the daughter
appeared unable to do so.
Stating that during the court
hearing the defendant gave the
value of the occupancy but not in
dependently Of improvements made,
the jurist asks for further submis-
sion of arguments on the rental
considerations. The defendant had
requested that If judgment Is en-
tered against her the rental fees
be deducted from the cost Of i'm
provements with the balance to
be paid her by the plaintiff. Judge
McEvoy ruled, however, that the
defendant is not entitled to com
pensation for the Improvements
made.
