Subzero readings were common
in an icy belt extending from Ne

chilling wave extended into New

men and three tank brigades in
the area south Of Newell where the
Red army was but 70 miles from
the .Latvan border. a Nazi broad
cast said. The Germans admitted
Is waves of attack in one sector
and conceded some breaches made
in their lines. These, they said,
were 'ssealed Off"
The second attack was in south
ern White Russia, where the Red
Army forces which captured Co
mel were reported to have begun a
thrust with 100000 infantrymen and
two tank brigades toward the rail
junction Of Zhlobin, ten miles west
of advanced Russian positions.
The Germans claimed a ''fa1l de-
tense success on the first day of
this drive.
On these German reports the
Russians maintained silence -
their customary procedure at the
beginning of any drive. But Mos
COW radio. in broadcast to the
Red Army, made an ominous prom
Use.
'This winter will see Soviet
offensive on larger scale than
ever BEFORE" it said. winter is
"a most convenient time for Red
Army operation as the past two
war winters have shown. 1t is the
best time for outf1anking move
ment, surprise raids. enlightenment
and humiliation of the enemy"
Berlin radio and Stockholm dis
patches said the Germans viewed
the Russian offensive south of Ne
vel as a preliminary to a trem-
endous winter offensive on the nor
them front below Leningrad in an
effort to drive a wedge through
to the Baltic.
''Activity is increasing hourly"
in this area, Berlin said, and it
quoted some military circles as
seeing an effort to lay the ground
work for other offensive thrusts by
American and British troops into
northern Europe.
The Germans were said to be
mobilizing in Estonia and Latvia to
meet the expected drive and it was
admitted that a successful Soviet
push would influence their posi-
ton in Finland. for it would give
the Soviets a stronger position on
the Baltic sea. Even supply lines
to Norway might be endangered.
In fact, there were indications
that the Germans, preparing to
meet Allied pushes from the west
and south. hoped for nothing more
than holding actions in Russia dur
ing the next few months.
Stockholm reports said the Ger
mans hope to hold the Dnieper
river line and prevent Soviet
breakthrough into Rumania, keep
ing forces in the Crimea as long as
possible to flank any Russian am

Moscow radio noted an increase
in Soviet aerial activity at Lenin-
grad, where Red bombers scared
out to wreck German ammunition
dumps artillery batteries and for
tifica lions.
The renewed Soviet push toward
Zhlobin, on the railroad from Co
mel to Minsk, came from the south
west. Berlin said 40 Russian tanks
were destroyed but admitted TEN
porary Russian penetratlons
which it declared were beaten back
in a co,1nter.attack.

Issues Warning to Boxer
and Manager; Beau Jack
May Be Foe

New York, Feb. 3.-(UP)-Willie
Pep, recognized in New York as the
worlds featherweight champion, and
his manager, Lou viscusi, escaped
with q warning today when they
were called bofer the New York
Boxing Commission to explain why
they failed to report on time last
week for q physical checkup.
They had been ordered to appear
at noon last Wednesday for pre-
liminaries incident to the Pep-Allie
Stolz fight at the Garden Friday
night, which Pep won. Pep did not
arrive until 6 p. m.
Pep and his manager explained
that weather conditions caused them
to miss q train at Hartford, account
ting for their lateness. Chairman
John j. Phelan said under the CIR
cumstances no penalty would be
assessed.
Rivals Are Ready
The commissions physician, DR..
William H. Walker, examined Fritzie
zivic, former welterweight cham
pion, and Beau Jack, recognized in
New York as the lightweight cham
pion, who will meet in the Garden
In 10-round non-title fight Friday
night and pronounced them in ex-
cellent shape.
Beau Jack weighed 142 pounds
and expects to enter the ring at
1877. zivic weighed 149. He must
scale down to las or less.
Matchmaker Nat Rogers Of the
Goth Century Club discussed with
the commission the possibility Of
staging a 10-round 1on-title bout
between Beau Jack and Pep at the
Garden March 5.
Phelan, while making no ofiicial
ruling, said it was his opinion that
Beau Jack would have to weigh over
1876 pounds to protect his title in case
Pep won and then claimed the
lightweight championship. He point
ed out that New York rules pro-
vide bout must be is rounds to de.
eide a title but should Pep win the
press and others might concede him
the crown.
Viscusi objected to coming to terms
for a bout in which Beau Jack would
weigh over 1856 pounds, saying 1t
would be too much of a handicap
for Pep, whose fighting weight Is
127.
Another obstacle in the way Of the
bout was a report that Pep would

Boston, Feb. 3-(UP)-With the

Boston Red Sox today obtained

General Manager Eddie Collins
signed Simmons yesterday although
the former Athletics star has not

he was with the Boston Braves. 1t
was believed the Simmons role

Collins said Simmons was given
