New Cant ntaloupe in
|. Y. Makes Bid on
Nations Markets
.Mildew Resistant No. 5
Said to Possess Good
Flavor, Gives Big Yield

Cantaloupe lovers of the
nation are due for a treat in
1914 when the melon indus
try's newest and best devel-
opment, "Powdery Mildew
Resistant Cantaloupe No. 81 will
be placed on the market for the
first time, Farm Advisor Beyschlag
announced Monday.
Last year the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the
California agriculture experiment
station released seed to seedmen
and growers in Imperial Valley, who
harvested No. melons from 5000
to 1000 acres during the 1943 sea-
son. TheT grew seed enough so that
No. bids fair to be the leading
melon of the 1914 cantaloupe season
in the valley.
BETTER QUALITY
Although one parent of No. 5
was an inedible stock imported from
India, buyers and growers consider
that the new melon has eating
quality better than any other melon
ever shipped from this region. The
inedible Indian ancestor of No.
had but one big value plant breed
ers wanted, resistance to powdery
mildew disease, Beyschlag said. 1t
required many successive crossings
with market melons susceptible to
powdery mildew to breed this new
melon, combining fine fruit quail
ties with disease resistance.
When we'll grown, No. 5 makes
vigorous vine growth, produces
abundant foliage, and yields more
than 200 crates to the acre which
is from 25 to so crates more than
the average yield. No. has imper-
fectionS, a tendency to sugar
crack, lack of uniformity in size
and shape, and latter, maturity
than other popular varieties. Good
quantities however, more than bal
ance the defects, Beyschlag said.
No. promises better than any
other variety for a successful crop
>: 1914. Breedli g is h.ng continued
TO get rid of defects.

Nazis Reported
Evacuating kiev
As Reds Close in
Germans Pulling Out
OF Ukraine Capital
To Avoid Entrapment

MOSCOW, Oct. II. (UP)-
Red armies, steadily widen-
ing and lengthening their
Dnieper river uridgeheads in
battles of unparalleled viol4
ence, were reported today to have
penetrated the semi-circular outer
defenses and approached the gates
of blazing Kiev, capital of the
Ukraine.
(The British radio said the Ger

evacuation of Kiev started, accord
ing to Moscow advices, in order to
save the garrison from the fate OF

Assault forces that struck across
the Dnieper below Kremenchug
lis miles downstream from Kiev
smashed 10 to Is miles beyond the
west bank in race to trap huge
German armies in the Dnepro-
petrovsk- -Zaporozhe bulge and the
Crimea, front dispatches said.
USE HUGE FORCES
Both sides were hurting masses
of infantry, tanks and aircraft into
battle at focal points in the en-
virons of Kiev and southeast of
Kremenchug and fighting ragged at
a pitch surprising that at Stalin-

Lack beyond artillery range of the
Dnieper, the Russians forced that

points between Kiev and kre-

Red air force planes put up ar

an endless stream of Soviet infan-

An admiralty cOmmunlque today
announced the attack occurred on
Sept. %. The Tirpitz, whose tonnage
has been estimated as high as $4,000
was the pride of the German navy.
The bold venture involved "haz-
ards of the first ORDER" the admir-
alt; said in paying an unusual trib-
ute to the men who hammered it
home with success"
AT BATTLE FLEET
Although the communique said
he sortie through the intricate
lefenses of the German naval base
in Altenfjord, northern Norway, was
aimed at main units of the Ger
man battle fleet it mentioned no
damage inflicted except on the Tir-
pitt.
Three of the midget submarines
Britain'S new weapon which had
been a well kept secret-Were lost
in the attack. But a reference in
the communique to questioning the
crews OF other submarines which
took part, made it clear that some
came back.
Reports of the crewmen together
with later aerial scouting now
leave no doubt, despite enemy claims
to the contrary, that the attack met
with success" the admiralty said.
Air pictures taken after the at
tack showed that the Tirpitz, sister
ship of the Bismarck, had not mov-
ed from her anchorage and was
surrounded by thick oil which
spread more than two miles from
the ships berth.

ALI E D HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Oct. II. (UP)-The
Allied Fifth army, smashing
through the Ca )re river te-
fenses in force, has sliced a
50-square-mile pocket out of the
German line in advances of five
and one-half to 13 miles which cap
tured Fontelandolfo and a dozen
other villages, it was announced to-
day.
1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark's troops
turned the Volturno line, the main
barrier on the road to Rome, by
plunge across its Galore river ex-
tension, which wiped out the Ger
man salient in the Allied line De-
fore Benevento and established a
wedge in the Nasi positions.
Allied artillery was massing along
the south bank of the Volturno end
pounding ceaselessly at the Ger
man defenses beyond the stream
and athWart the coastal routes to
Rome.
The line on which Clark Amer
leans and British were wheeling
into position for the push on Rome
now runs straight from the sea at
the mouth of the VolturnO to Pom
telandolfo and San Marco and
thence northward to the Termoli
area on the Adriatic coast.
8TH ADVANCES So
Along the 50-mile front stretch
ing up to Termoli, Gen. Sir Bcr-
nard L. Montgomery's Eighth army
pushed ahead at some pointo be-
tween two and three miles. The
Germans definitely were on the
backward move before the British,
but they were moving with their
usual methodical plan of razing
everything in their path.
Once more the northwest Afrl-
can air force pounded Nazi targets
in Greece, Rhodes, and Cete in
the heightening campaign of tie
eastern Mediterranean.
Flying Fortresses bombed the
Tatoi air field outside Athens and
Araxos in the northwestern Pelo-
ponnesus Sunday. At Athens 20 to
80 German fighters tried to inter-
cept the FortreSSeS. In a half-hour
battle, four enemy planes were de-
stroyed. The raiders were unchal-
lenged at AraXoS.
The main weight of the battle
for Italy, however, was on the An

Yanks Win World
Series by Taking
Fourth Game. 20
New Workers Prove
To Be Nations Best
i943 Baseball Team
SPORTSMAN'S P ARK

SPORTSMAN'S ARK
st. Louis, Oct. II. (UP)-
The New York Yankees won
the 1943 World cries today
when Catcher Bill Dickey hit
home run with one man on base
to defeat the st. Louis Cardinals,
2 to 0, and take wartime's october
classic, four games to one.
Dickey's blast off big Mort Coop
er and Spurgeon Chambers clutch
pitching enabled the Bronx bomb
ers to reverse last years result when
the Cardinals won four out of five
games to take the title.
1t was the tenth Worlds champ
ionship for the Yankees in the last
20 years and the seventh title won
under manager Joe Mccarthy.
The Cardinals, far different
team than last year, threatened
Chandler almost every inning but
the Yankee sinker ball artist al
ways had enough left in the clutch
and turned the Redbirds back with
men in scoring position.
GIVES 10 HITS
He allowed 10 hits, and only in
one inning did he turn the side
back in order, but the Cardinals,
hoping to come back behind Big
Mort, who had hurled the only st.
Louis victory, never could cash in
on their numerous opportunities.
Th Yankees, on the other hand
used one-two punch in the sixth
inning to send Cooper down to de-
feat. Charlie Keller, the Yankee
left fielder, singled off Cooper with
two men out after the Cardinal
fireball ace had turned back the
Bronx Bombers with only three
hits and some of the best strike
out pitching esen in a world series
With Keller prancing off first,
Dickey, who has been in more world
series games than any other YAM
kee player, struck at Cooper's first
pitch and lined the ball over the
right field stands. 1t was his fifth
home run in 38 world series games.
Those two runs were enough with
Chambers shutout pitching. The
major leagues leading hurler this
season in earned run average, the
Georgia right-hander had enough
to make the runs stand up although
in both the eighth and ninth in
nings the Cardinals had the tying
runs on the bases.

Reps Vote to Pay
Credit on Victory
Tax Immediately y
All Taxpayers May Use
Postwar Benefits Now
Under HOuSe-PaSSed Bill

WASHINGTON, Oct. II.
UP)-The house today vct-
ed unanimously to permit all
taxpayers to take immediate
advantage of the "post-War'
credits against the Victory tax.
These credits range from 25 per
cent of the victory tax for single
persons to 40 per cent for married
couples.
Under the present law, the credit
can be obtained Immediately only
by persons who pay life insurance
premiums, buy war bonds, or reduce
their net indebtedness in an amount
at least equal to the credit. Others
would have to wait until after the
war.
MAY GET CASH REFUND
But under the bill passed by the
house, everyone would be presumed
to have fulfilled that condition and
could take the credit into account
in his final settlement of 1943 ,aXes
next March Is. The credit could

of other taxes due or could be Ub-
tanned as a cash refund in some
cases.
The victory tax credits are liz. It
ed to $1,000 a year They run 25
per cent for single persons, 40 per
cent for married couples and two
per cent additional for each de-
pendent.
The house also passed unanimous
ly a bill extending the time for
corporations to claim relief under
the excess profits tax law.
Todays house action on the VIC
tory tax was the first concrete step
toward simplification of the pres
ent tax system. The treasury's $lO,-
100000, 900 tax program provides for
elimination of the victory tax and
a $6,50O,0O0,000 increase in regular
income taxes. This has been assail-
ed by some as a political move
which would free millions from
direct federal taxes. The contention
is based on the fact that the eXemp-
ton from the victory tax is only
1924 a year, while the income lax
exemptions are $500 for single per.
sons and $1,000 for mar ried persons.
