NAILS ADMIT GAINS
Paris Radio Says Armies
Locked In Battle In
City Area

LONDON, Oct. 24.-(P-
The Red Army smashed half
way across the Dnieper river
loop to within six miles of
Krivoi Rog today, and plung-
ed six miles beyond fallen
Melitopol in a surge toward
the Crimea, Moscow announc-
ed tonight.
A German-controlled Paris
radio broadcast said some So
Wet units already were fight
ing inside the iron and rail
center of Krivoi Rog in their
push southwark to link up
with the other army, which
toppled Melitopol.
A Moscow communique re-
corded by the Soviet moni-
tor announced the capture of
so villages, including Losova-
tka, only six miles north of
Krivoi Rog, and one German
broadcast described the So
Wet river loop army as a
"steamroller."
3 StrOngpOints Smashed
Tanning out from Melitopol the
Russians said their southern army
smashed three German strong
points, and also took the railway
station of Tashchenak, six miles
southwest of Melitopol on the
railway to the Crimea, as the Ger
mans vainly tried to stem a twin
onrush imperilling hundreds of
thousands of Axis troops.
The Soviet bulletin also an
nounced the capture of seven enc
my strongpoints south of Rechitsa
in the thanking move on Gomel,
IN White Russia. German counter
attacks also failed to halt the Rus
slams in that sector, it said.
The Paris radio commentator,
Jean Paquis, quoted Germans as
saying that some Russians al
ready had broken into Krivoi Rog,
and that "the well-synchronized
Soviet attacks in southern Russia
have tipped the scale at Melitopol
and General Won Mannstein will
have to face consequences of some
gravity"
The dangerous position of the
German armies in southern Rus
sia," he said of the Russian sweep
beyond Melitopol, "can only be
retrieved if some artificial defense
line exists somewhere in the No
gaisk steppes."
The Russians said their forces
knocked out 1853 German tanks
and shot down 46 planes during
Saturdays fighting.
The Russians now have COM
pleted IS weeks of steady fight
ing since their big counter-offen-
sive began last July -, and the
last week has been described in
reports filtering out of Germany
as Adolf Hitler's blacklist of the
war.
The German high command
communicate acknowledged Rus
sian gains in the loop, and Ber-
lin broadcast recorded by the As
ISOLATED Press said Nazi troops
in front of Krivoi Rog had been
withdrawn to the rear as a re-
suit OF enemy pressure.

Other Serious Developments
With 10000 miners on a wildcat
strike in Alabama and $4,000 9TH
ers OUT in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio,
Illinois Pennsylvania and Arkans-
a. there were these developments:
Disclosure by joint British

9use of manpoWer and mining
machinery shortages in U. S. and
British coal fields.

sent "a sad story of persons plac-

things that are needed"

a. Instructions from an 1nterna-
tional UNIV representative to To-
cal Alabama union leaders that
the continued stoppage might
hinder" WLB consideration OF the
Illinois contract, which the UNIV
would like to see supplied to all
areas.
WPB's warning came from act
inc chairman Charles E. Wilson
who said in a statement that he
regarded the strikes as even
more dangerous than the shut
down of last spring.
Anv prolonged closing of the
Alabama and Indiana mines, Will
son declared, would give the
whole war production program a
serious setback-which means
setback to Our fighting forces at
a time when they are attacking
the enemy on every front. y
The WPB chief said shipyards
on the Gulf Coast, New England
states and the West Coast already
are beginning to feel the pinch
If the strikes continue a month
longer, he added, tankers, Liberty
ships and an indeterminate num-
Der of cargo vessels will be held
up for lack of steel plates.
This coal strike" he asserted,
SIS hitting us at a bad time. Sure
ly no American wants to see our
steel plants closed down for lack
Of coal, or wants to see our ship
yards idle, or wants to see NUM-
tons held up that are needed for
the fighting overseas.
But that may well happen II
the coal situation is not solved and
solved promptly. 1t is key prob

Meantime, UNIV leaders con-

the case might be referred to the

ALLIED HEADQUAR.
TIERS, Algiers, Oct. 24:-tF
The British Eighth Army
launching a drive against the
Trigno river line on the ami
versary of the Alamein,
speared ahead five to six
miles yesterday and crossed
the river, it was announced
today.
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Mont
gomery's veterans of the
march from Egypt to Italy
seized three towns on their
front.
To the west, the Fifth Ar
my rammed fresh holes into
the enemy's mountain defen-
ses along the upper Volturno
river, capturing Baia-E Lati-
ma four miles northwest of
Dragoni, in a push up the
valley toward Venafro, the
anchor of the new German
line blocking the way to
Rome.
Thus the Allies crunched
forward in the west, the CEN
ter, and on the Adriatic
flank.
The Eighth Army forced the
Trigno river at an unidentified
point and pushed the Germans
back to the northwest bank at
other places. The Trigno, roughly
paralleling the Biferno river, emp.
ties into the Adriatic IL miles
above Termoli and seven miles
below Vasta. This plunge posed a
threat to the strategic lateral road
from Vasto to Isernia.
The offensive was sprung under
the personal command Of Gener-
al Montgomery, who opened the
blow at ell Alamein in Egypt just
a year before to chase the Axis
from North Africa.
Montgomery troops also cap
tured Lucito, II miles north Of
Campobasso and only six miles
short of the Trigno; MONTENEGRO,
five miles northwest of Montecil-
fine, and Campochiaro in the cen.
ter.
The British and Canadians bat.
tered a path uphill to take Campo
chiaro, five miles southwest Of
Vinchiaturo north and west int
the heart of the Nazis' mountain
positions.
The continuing American ad.
vance along both banks of the up
per Volturno toward Venafro and
seizure of Baia-E Latina conceded
with a visit by Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower yesterday to the Fifth
Army front.
The Germans still are fighting
stubbornly to slow the American
attack, making particularly effec-
tive use of artillery and mortar
positions and machinegun nests
dotting all the mountainous
heights. Many positions are well
camouflaged.
On the Fifth Army's coastal
flank between the Volturno's
mouth and lofty Massico ridge,
the "situation is fairly static" an
Allied officer said.
The Canadians and British in
the center, where the Fifth and
Eighth army fronts link up, were
reported encountering heavy Nazi
artillery fire as we'll as extremely
difficult terrain.

police while his Identification was
verified but, meanwhile, the Gestapo
was notified of the time he would
be leaving. He was arrested by the
Gestapo on the outskirts of Vichy
and taken to Germany.
Petain Protested.
Petain, presumably unaware of
the role Laval played in the arrest,
protested to Berlin. The document
which the weekly, Paris" repro
duces, is said to be Won Ribben-
trop's answer to Petain. 1t begins:
Marshal Petain clearly forgets
that we have just had an experience
with Gen. Giraud which proves to
us how little we can trust the word
Of conspiring people like Gems.
Giraud and Weygand."
Even the word of Petain cannot be
a sufficient guarantee, the docu-
ment continues, that Weygand would
not seize the earliest opportunity to
go over to the enemy. Won Ribben-
trop then cites talks which Weygand
had with Robert Murphy. American
counsellor in North Africa, last
year-talks which Weygand did not
report to Vichy. In these talks Wey-
gand repeated how necessary the
total defeat of Germany was and
promised that he would do every
Evening star., 1943-08-02

thing to help bring about that
defeat.
Won Ribbentrop then quoted from
another conversation between Wey-
gand and Murphy in which Wey-
gand said that the Vichy government
only acted under German orders and
that at the opportune moment he,
Weygand, would take over power
from Petain.
Criticizes United States.
He also wrote of the disgusting
methods the United States used for
obtaining information such as send
ing consuls to North Africa to pre-
pare the ground for landings. More
over, the Americans did not hesitate
to corrupt Frenchmen and ALLEVIATE
them from Vichy, he said.
For these reasons, he says, the
Germans are OBTAINING Weygand to
prevent him from betraying France
as Giraud did. Germany would ac-
cord Weygand most dignified and
humane treatment in contrast to the
brutal and revolving manner in
which Americans treated important
people like Prince Paul and Premier
Stoyadinovitch of Yugoslavia (actu-
ally held by the British in Kenya)
and the Shah of Persia. Thus Won
Ribbentrop explained the arrest of
Weygand.
