GREAT BRITAIN:
Discuss Postwar

Growing American seapower and
the administration of neutral colo
MES after the war were subjects of
lengthy discussion in Great Britain.
Laborite Emanuel Shinwen said
that the end of the war will find the
u. S. with a merchant marine Of
80 million tons against Britain's 8
million tons. He proposed the or
ganization Of an Anglo-American
board to regulate shipping in the
postwar world.
Refusing to be drawn out on the
subject, government spokesman
contented themselves with the rev.
elation that American shipping had
spared Great Britain from famine
in 1941.
Emphasizing that Great Britain
intended to administer it's own col
onies after the war, a spokesman
said that the government was con-
sidering a plan whereby certain col
onies would be administered by
mixed commissions consisting of
representatives from neighboring
territories and nations which have
financial interests involved.

RUSSIA:
Giants Locked

Rain drenched the sprawling
Ukrainian plains around Belgorod,
hindering mechanical activity on the
south end Of the flaming Russian
front, but Red armies attacked in
force above the northern pivot Of
Orel, extending the battlefield to 225
miles.
Both the Germans and the Rus
SLAMS were agreed on one thing: the
great number of men being used on
both sides. Around Orel. the Nazis
admitted that the Reds had broken
their lines at two points, but had
been driven back in fierce counter
attacks.
Heavy ground action at Orel was
supplemented by strong Russian
aerial action. Red bombers blasted
the principal railway installations Of
the town, from which the Russian
lines bend southwark in great arc,
thus Offering the Germans pivot
for enlightenment of the Russians
from the rear.
Intensity of the air action can be
cleaned from Russian reports that
their anti-aircraft guns had bagged
158 enemy planes on single day.

II. s.. INITIATIVE:
Edge In Pacific

Now that the initiative in the
Pacific has passed into Allied hands,
the steady reinforcement Of naval,
air and ground services guarantees
our holding Of the advantage, Adj
miral Chester w. Nimitz declared.
Nimitz made his statement after
decorating submarine personnel for
gallant action against enemy ship
ping. Especially cited was Lieut..
Comdr. Albert G. Burrows, whose
U-boat torpedoed two Jap vessels
despite strong counter-measures.
''The army and navy have neu-
tralized Kiska,'' Nimitz said, land
in the South Pacific our forces from
all services are co-ordinating their
operations most successfully in the
New Georgia occupation.
New ships, planes and troops,
which are trained and fully equipped
for battle, are now coming to the.
Pacific in satisfying numbers to in
sure our retaining the initiative
which the veterans Of this campaign
50 valiantly won."

Ne1U Guinea Victory

With the fall of Mubo, the big
Japanese base Of Salamaua in New
Guinea lay in peril Of capture by
Australian and American forces OPP
Grating from all sides.
Mubo fell about two weeks after
the start of General Macarthur
Pacific offensive. American troops
had landed on Nassau bay to the
east of the town, and then marched
into the interior to cut off Japanese
forces from the rear and effect a
junction with the Australians. At
the same time, Allied soldiers at
tackled the enemy's main lines, and
thus, completely enveloped on all
sides. Mubo was overrun.
The Allied success at Mubo came
as American troops pressed closer
to the japanese air base Of Munda
on New Georgia island. Approach
ing the stronghold from the north
and east doughboys worked eau
tiously through jungle foliage to gain
ground. Squeezed, the enemy
launched one counterattack, but
withdrew fire after being stopped.
