ominous potentialities for the Whole

Moscow makes no mention OF this
newly reported Russian drive to
reach the right bank Of the Dnle-
per at Zhlobin, so miles north OF
Kiev. There is a minor rail cross
ing at that point for the Konotop'
Gomel-Minsk line. On that sector,
also. just to the northwest OF Go

What that would mean to the
logistics Of an apparently Nazi con-
templated winter stand along the
Dnieper can easily be conjectured.
To swift reserves from one sector to
the other would require that they
be marched 800 miles westward and
back again to circumnavigate the
Pinsk-Pripet marshes.
That makes the Zhlobin.Comel
sector of the front the most criti-
cal of the whole line for the in
vader. Germany's fate could be
decided right there and in a mat
ter of days or weeks at most.
The Russians are within sight
of the most decisive break-through
of the Nazi-Russian war by either
side in the reported drive closely

the Dnieper 20 miles or so above
kiev. Those marshes at this season
represent a huge morass that ex-
tends from the Dnieper al the way
Westward to the western Bug in
Poland.
The only north-south connection
through it linking the German for
ces along the Dnieper is the Orsha-
Zhlobin- Karosten-Kiev railway. If
that should be severed above the
Pripet, the north and south wings
of the German army would be cut
apart in the center. The only re-
naming rail communication be-
tween the two wings above and
below the Pripet would be through
Brest Litovsk, 80 miles west of the
Dnieper.

A triple crisis for Nazi invaders
of Russia appears to be developing
rapidly along the important Dnie-
per defense line, overshadowing in
military significance the probable
entry of American tro ps into his
toric Naples.
In Italy the battle might well de-
velop into a foot race as Anglo
American forward patrols seek to
keep contact with the retreating
enemy all across the Italian boot
above the Naples-Foggia lint. There
is no present indication just where
the next Nazi delaying stand will
be staged and the battle rejoined.
Along the Dnieper between Go
mel and the Orsha bend to the
north, however, a new and very
critical Russian thrust is beginning

menacing Zhlobi. Should they break
across the Dnieper there, with the
eastside high bank in their favor, it
would probably send the whole
Nazi front tipping back to the
wes+ ern Bug, halfway across Po-
land to the line set up in the Ber-
lin Moscow partition of that coun-
try.
Nor can it be over-stressed that
such a further German retreat in
Russia - and a retreat that would
have to be made with winter close
at hand would result in Nazi
abandonment of both the Balkan
and Baltic state flanks of the
eastern line to hold the unquestion-
ably strongly fortified west bank
Of the Polish Bug.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80
(P)-The Office of Price Adj

"a" rations were left at 3

The changes are effective

Investigation Planned
Even before the changes were
announced, House subcommittee
laid plans for an investigation Of
motor fuel rationing and distribu

Chairman Lea D-Ca1if> said

He said the inquiry would reach

Rep. Curtis (R-Neb.) told the
House today that every survey tt

spaces of the agriculture states.
OPA said the move would "bring
gasoline consumption into line
with available supplies" and
achieve virtual equalization" Of

The effect of the move is to In
