MASSES
 FOR FRONTAL
 BLOW AT FOE
BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

 Allied Headquarters, AL giers, October 2l. = (UP) = Lieutenant General Mark Clark nassed his Fifth Army on the Volturno plain today for a frontal assault on the new German defense line guarding Rome, and the Brit ish Eighth Army pushed two mountains of central Italy in a bid to roll up the enemy flank.
 As a possible indication of things to come, the official German DNB News Agency reported there were signs that the Allies were planning an assault by air and sea on Rome soon. It said air-borne troops were concentrated be- hind the front and shipping activity off the coast of Italy had increased.)
 As the Eighth Army stabbed through the towns of Oratino and Bllsso on the approaches to Isernia, key junction above the upper end of the German line, the left wing of the Fifth Army moved up to make contact with the Nazis before Mas Slco Ridge on the coast.
 The northwest African air force threw big fleets of bombers and fighters into its most widespread assault of recent days. Flying for- tresseS, Liberators, Mitchells, night bombers and assault planes pound- cd the German defenses behind the front and again visited the Balkans to bomb the Nis rail junction in southeastern Jugoslavia.
 The main weight of the aerial onslaught hit the rail and highway transport lines throughout the bat tie zone and northward beyond Rome.
 After days of steady gains against stiff opposition the Fifth and Eighth armies generally confined their operations to patrollng and moving up men and supplies for the impending attack on the German line.
 Engineers were working night and day to bridge the series of irriga- ton canals to move up trucks, jeepS

Top British Tor Dies

London, Oct. 2l. (UP)-Adm. Sir Dudley Pound, who directed Britain's battle fleets as first sea lord and naval chief of staff from the outbreak of the war until a sudden illness forced his retirement two weeks ago, died today.
 Sir Dudley, who had spent 52 of his 66 years in the Royal Navy, was stricken late in August, few days after his return with Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Allied conferences in Washing ton and Quebec.
 He was removed to the Royal Masonic Hospital where his condi- tion steadily worsened, taking a critical turn last night. He died at 6:21 o'clock this morning.
 He is survived by two sons and a daughter.
 Sir Dudley, who held the rank of admiral of the fleet, was ap- pointed first sea lord on July 31, 1889, a month before the start of the war, and turned over his com- mand of the Mediterranean fleet to Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, who succeeded him as first sea lord on Oct. 5.

 Ookes Case

Nashua, Bahamas, Oct. 21-(UP) Defense Attorney Godfrey w. Higgs croSs-examined Sir Harry Oakes' persnal physician today in an attempt to prove that Harold e. Christie, the man who found the body, could not have gotten blood on his hands merely by wiping the dead mans face.
 The physician was Dr. Hugh 0uackenbush, who examined OakeS on the morning of July 8 and pro- nounced him dead.
 Higgs is attorney for Count Al- fred de Marigny, son-in-law of Sir Harry, who is charged with the murder.

 U. s. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, British Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden and Soviet Foreign Com- missar Viacheslav M. Molotov were revealed to have submitted separate agendas for discussion with the un- derstanding that no subject would be taboo.
 Renewed emphasis in the con- trolled Russian press on the urgency of opening a second front and the invlolahility of Russia's Ieal boun- daries-including half of pre-i93e Poland. the Baltic states of Llth- unia, Latvia and Estonia and Ru- manla's BeGsarabia-gave a possible clue to the topics submitted by Nolotov.

.Jops TryFor .Finschhofen

Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, Oct. 21-(UP)-Australian troops, veterans of the North Afri- can desert campaigns, have broken up repeated counter-attacks in the Japanese drive to recapture their fallen base at Finschhafen, 1t was disclosed today.
 A spokesman at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said more than 200 enemy dead have been counted on the Huon penin- sula in northeastern New Guinea.
 The Japanese drive was develop ing from two directions. One col- umn, comprised of troops who fled Finschhafen when the Australians captured the port on Oct. 2, and dug in at Satelberg, 10 miles to the northwest. was striking eastward toward the coast. A second force had driven across the Song river and was attacking the main Allied defenses at Katika, three miles north of Finschhafen.
 The enemy columns still cppeared to be several miles apart, but were reported battling desperately to make contact and reestablish their lines across the northern end of the Huon peninsula.
 MacArthur's headquarters acc lmowledged that the Japanese at Katika had made some progress, '

Charges Price Fixed For D Vitomins

Washington, Oct. 2l.-(UP)-As- siStant Attorney General Wendell Berge charged today that the Wis consin Alumni Research Foundation has fixed prices for vitanin D pro- ducts at levels which can only be regarded as extortionate" in view of the economic status of those with the greatest need of the vitanlin- the poor.
 Berge, chief of the Justice De- partment's antitrust division, made the charge against the foundation which has no formal connection with and is not controlled by the University of Wisconsin-at the sec- ond of series of appearances be- fore a senate military affairs sub- committee considering @ bill to set up a national office of scientific mobilization.
 The foundations licensing pro- gram, Berge said, was organized along the lines of an international Cartel.
 "The foundation is party to an agreement with the omnipresent I. G. Farhenindustrie oi Germany and to another agreement with Jo- seph Nathan & Co.,, of Great Bri- tain," he said. '"The agreements create exclusive noncompetitive territories. Nathan and I. G. are prohibited from exporting to the United States, and the domestic licensees of the foundation are pro- hibited from exporting to Germany or Great Britain"
 Berge also charged that the foun- dation has:

 Though secrecy surrounds the con- ferences, two versions of their work spread among Anglo o-American cir- cles here with the truth probably lying somewhere midway between them. These two versions are:

LOGO TONS OF BOMBS RAIN
 ON LEIPZIG
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON

BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 London, October 21. - UP) "A big fleet of British four-engined bombers rocked Leipzig, aircraft center and one of the most important railway functions in Ger many, with more than a ton of explosives last night, while a smaller force of Mos quitoes raided Berlin for the fifth time this month.
 Seventeen bombers were lost in the two raids and in subsidiary attacks on uniden- tified objectives elsewhere in Germany, the air ministry announced.
 The nights offensive was believed to have bolstered the tonnage of fire and demolition bombs dropped by the RAF on Germany since July over the 50,000-ton mark.
 The German Paris radio said an air raid alert was sounder at Ge- neva, Switzerland, at dawn today. The alraIn might have been caused by one or more of the British night raiders returning home by round- about route.

 Striking less than 12 hours after American Flying F'ortresses pound ed 6 rlon- ferrous plant in western Germany yesterday, the RATS four engined Stirling, Halifaxes and La11- casters stabbed into the heart of Germany to drop their four and two-ton block busters on Leipzig, city of 702,000 about 90 miles solth of Berlin.
 Returning pilots said their bombs kindled scores of fires that merged into vast, spreading confragrations in the sprawling city, whose perime- ter includes the largest railway sta- ton in Europe, Il aircraft plants, nine machinery factories and three power stations.

ManviIIe Men Back at Work

Given assurance, by company of- ficials, that they would be granted availability slips sore 100 employees of the E. J. Manville Co.,, today re- sumed work following yesterdays walk-out in protest against the con- tinued refusal of the company offi- cials to state definitely their plans as to future operations of the con- cern.
 The resumption of work was agreed upon after @ meeting yes- terday when the employees met with representatives of the c. I. O. Mine, Mil and Shelter Workers union, bargaining agents for the employees and with James Diamond, labor ut- iliEation investigator for the War Manpower Commission.
 As result of yesterdays meeting three telegrams were forwarded by union officials, to various federal agencies requesting that a com- plete and thorough Investigation be conducted into the conditions of contracts supposedly held by the concern. It is stated that telegrams were sent to Joseph Smith, regional director of the Boston WING office; John R. Steelman, head of the con- ciliation service of the U. s. Dept. of Labor, and Walter Holder, of the disputes board of the War Labor Board in Boston. A union official to6ay stated that they expected representatives of the VILE to ap- pear in Waterbury within a day or so.
 Yesterdays walkout was but a by- product of the troublesome issue that has been brewing between management and labor at the E. J. Manville O., for more than a month, as result of layoffs affect ing some of the lesser feelings and the subsequent refusal of the com

Exchanged War Coptives Start Home

Goteborg, Sweden, Oct. 21 - (U. p = The first Allied German ex- change of invalided prisoners of war was completed today when three big liners sailed for the Uni ted Kingdom with 4,340 sick and wounded captives from the United States and various parts of the Bril- tish Empire.
 Simultaneously, the German hos pital ship left for Germany with 835 Axis prisoners recently brought here from the United Kingdom.
 The Allied prisoners. including 17 Americans, left aboard the British hospital Ship Atlantis, the Trans port Empress of Russia and the Swedish exchange liner Drottning- holm.
 Meanwhile, a supplemental ex- change of British and German pris- oners in the Mediterranean was re- ported proceeding according to plan.
 Staff Sergeant Benny Springer, % of Denver, Colo, one of the Amer jeans enroute home on one of the Allied liners, said he probably would be dead if an erlraged German mob had got to him when his bomber crashed near Hamburg three months ago.
 His experience confirmed reports from Britons aboard the exchange ships that German civilians were so bitter against the Allied airmen that they tried repeatedly to mob them.
 While they agreed that the Ger man military made every effort to protect their prisoners, Springer and other flyers said the civilians sometimes were able to mistreat captured airmen.
