Russians Retreat In Battle

MOSCOW, Dec. B. AP)- One of the most desperate Ger man tank and infantry assaults launched in the seven weeks bat tie for KieV, forced the Red Army to retire from several towns in the Chernyakhov-Zor- ostes area, but Soviet troops SCOT ed important gains in the area southwest of Kremenchug, and completely enveloped Znamenka, vital rail junction west of the Dnieper.
 The communlque said Rou- manian forces won bridgeheads in the area established by. the Russians in the Kerch in Crimea, wiping out the Soviet landing troops in a three-day battle, talk ing 2,000 prisoners.
 The German command declared in a war bulletin recorded in a radio broadcast, that heavy fight ing continued southwest of Kremenchug where the Russians were spearing deeper into the Dnieper bulge.
 Russian advices said approxi- mately l,700 tanks were hurled at the narrow sector west of Kiev, by Field Marshal Von Mannstein.
 The communique said the Nazis lost 53 tanks and left at least l,500 dead on the field of battle.
 The Nazi gains in the Kiev bulge however were offset by the Russian gains in the drive on Znamenka from three directions, already surrounding the town.
 The fall of this rail junction will. tend. to, disrupt the whole German communications system of supply in the vast area below Kiev, and undoubtedly help to relieve the enemy pressure on the Kiev salient.

Turkey Expected to
 Enter Present War

WASHINGTON, Dec. ZAP , Deeds rather than words were expected by informed observers here, to bring out the full sig nificance of Turkeys newly de- fined role as associated with the Allies fighting Germany.
 Impressions gained from the latest Cairo communicate were strong, however, that this role would be one of great importanc at the strategic moment when her help would count most.
 Turkey will very probably en- ter the war, but whether that moment is at hand or in the in- definite future can be answered only by President Roosevelt Prime Minister Churchill or President Inonu of Turkey, oi their ranking advisors.
 Russian associates say that her destiny eventually will lead Fur, key into a military partnership with the Allies, probably for two reasons--her strategic position and her desire for full voice 1T Assssf#-s peace councils.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Two new fighter planes, superior to the P-38s and P-47s, are in pro- duction and are expected to give the United States the best air force fighter fleet in existence. Robert . Lovett, assistant war secretary, said in the Army and Navy Journal.
 Lovatt said the new planes were untested in combat so re- strictions would still keep them under wraps, but they are as su- perior in their class as the Amer ican bombers are in their field. D

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

pocket of japanese resistance on
the southeast peninsula of New
Guinea have broken through and
destroyed a section of enemy
forward positions at Sanananda,

Quantities of arms and equipment

Has Natural Projections.
Sanananda is northwest of the
former japanese stronghold at Buna
on the east coast of New Guinea
and like Buna is protected by a
series of jungle Notifications and
swampy country. Recent rains have
increased the difficulties of the Al
lied forces seeking to clear Papua
of the remnants of a japanese
army which once totaled $4,000 men.
Some $50 miles to the northwest
at Mubo, south and inland from
Salamaua in northeast New Guinea,
Allied forces have completed three
day raid on Japanese positions dur
ing which an enemy headquarters
post. radio station and supply
dumps were destroyed, the COM
munique proceeded.
Heavy casualties have been in
ficted on the japanese there, it was
said. At least l16 were reported
killed in this raid in yesterday s
communique.
Meanwhile, Allied air forces con-
tinued to attack the remaining
Japanese positions in New Guinea
and spread out in widening circle
over Japanese footholds in the
Southwest Pacific. The enemy air
dromes at Madang and Finschhafen
and supply dump at Lac were
the targets in New Guinea yester-
day, the communique reported.
Lone Jap Bomber Attacks.
One japanese bomber attacked
Port Moresby under cover Of dark

A unit of Allied medium bombers

them again and wrung the water
into our mouths. 1t was easy to de-
post it into the life jackets through
the tube, closing the valve after
ward. Not as sanitary as it might
be? In our fix you don't think of
those things; I didn't until weeks
afterward.
The rain dashed down nearly an
hour, soothing our bodies and
quenching our thirst. Then, as
though the Lord wanted to re-
mind us He can take away as we'll
as give, a giant wave swept up from
nowhere and capsized our raft. We
lost our four remaining flares and all
three Very pistols.
The only thing saved were one
empty flare shell and Capt. Cherry's
life jacket, which fortunately took
on no salt water. Our hoard of
more than Quart was safe!

Cause of the death of Murray
Stroud, l8-year- old son of a Re-
construction Finance Corp. official
was expected by Deputy Coroner
Christopher J. Murphy to be estab-
lished definitely this morning by
results of an autopsy performed
late yesterday in the District

The autopsy was made after the

of a certificate of suicide by the

signed shortly after the boy was

empty bottle of cleaning fluid by
his side, would remain in effect

and the results speak for themselves.
I know of no more heartening DEM
onstration of the power of a free
press, or the ability and willingness
of citizens in democracy freely to
give their time and energy to help
the war effort.
Certainly the drive contributed
to the uninterrupted steel opera
tons of recent months, something
of inestimable value to the entire
Nation in time of war.
The steel industry itself bene-
fitted both from its ability to do a
maximum job for the war effort
and its ability to operate at or near
capacity.
THE scrap industry also bene-
fitted in that it was able to continue
to fill its vital war role of supplying
this most essential material to the
mills"
