SCOW, Sept. 28.-ThroWn back to the Dnieper River from the Zaporozhe area in South Russia to positions almost as far north as Gomel in White Russia, the Ger man Army has summoned reserves and regrouped their battered forces.
 Except in certain sectors the Red Army is virtually in control of the eastern bank of the Dnieper. The Nazis are still fighting desperate battle in the Kremenchug area out side Kiev and before Dnepropet- rovsk, but the Soviet forces are doggedly breaking down resistance, and it seemed only matter of hours until the Russians will be en- camped on the entire eastern bank of the Dnieper.
 Along 400-mile stretch from po- sitions slightly south of Gomel to the area west of Smolensk, the Red Army has pushed on toward the eastern bank, while at Smolensk, of course, the Russians are well beyond the western bank.

Section has been described var iously as ambiguous, impractical, un- enforceable and as full of holes as Hamburg Certain it is that is a declaration of intent-but a power ful one-rather than an attempt by Congress to set up an ironclad sta ute to put the veterans back in civilian life just where they left off. Such an attempt would be more impractical than Section 8.
 The important thing is that Sec tion is working. Men are being discharged from the armed services at the rate of about 1000 a week (more than 500,000 already have been mustered out and while men are still going into the services at many times that number it has pro- vided fair sampling.
