To Trap 100000
Nazis in Criimea
Counteruttucks Are
Beuten Back in
MeIitopoI Area
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Oct. 16.-Beating
back waves of desperate coun-
terattacks in and around Melito-
pol, Russian troops are plunging
steadily westward across the low
fiat plains leading to the Crimea
in an audacious attempt to en-
trap more than 100000 Germans
reported garrisoning the great
peninsula, dispatches from Mos
COW said today.
Other Red Army forces. having
successfully invested Zaporozhe, in
dustrial city on the bend of the
Dnleper River IS miles to the north,
were battling their way down the
railway which leads through Melito-
pol to the Crimea.
CBBC, in a broadcast recorded
by CHS, quoted front-line dis
patches as saying that half of the
town of Melitopol lis in Russian
hands,
Berlin ignored the extreme south
ern fighting in its communicate
today, but said that strong Soviet
forces had launched new attacks
southeast of Kremenchug, just above
the great bend in the Dnieper River;
both north and south of the key
city of Kiev; near Chernigov, south
west OF Smolensk, and on the north
western front near Velikie Luki.
Nazis Claim Success.
All attacks were repulsed either
IN violent hand-to- hand fighting or
by counterattacks, the German COM
munique added.
Today's Russian communicate said
the column heading toward the
Crimea already had driven the hard
fighting Germans back through five
railway towns, including Plavni, II
miles southeast of Zaporozhe. More
than 1000 Nazis were killed, %
tanks were destroyed and 20 big
guns captured in this operation.
Far to the north the Russians
were beating in through the outer
defenses OF Kiev, repulsing repeated
counterattacks. Red Army troops
also drove back attacking Germans
south of Gomel in White Russia.
Germans in the Crimea were
faced with another threat from the
Taman Peninsula in the Western
Caucasus, where strong Soviet forces
were reported massing for an am
phlblous attack across the Kerch
Straits and the Black Sea.
At least 1900 Germans drowned
crossing the Dneiper at Zaporozhe
as the Russians cleaned up the east
bank of that sector, the war bulletin
said, and another 1000 were reported
slain in the fierce hand to-hand
fighting in the town of Melitopol,
from which the enemy was slowly
but surely being driven.
Bitter Fighting on Dnieper.
The communique reported bitter
fighting on the middle Dnieper,
where massed Russian artillery
moved down fierce counterattacks
north and south of Kiev. Here the
Germans were being methodically
blasted from one line after another,
the Tass news agency reported.
Red Army airplanes, commanding
the skies over the front. broke UP
many German installations and
thwarted all attempts to wreck
Russian bridgeheads over the river.
They bombed enemy airdromes,
damaging or destroying % planes
on the ground and shooting down
10 in air battles over the river.
The Germans were also counter
attacking south of Gomel, in White
Russia, where they were attempting
to drive the Russians from the west
bank OF the Sozh River and relieve

OPA Head Denies
Policies Put
Curb on Business

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. OUP) -
Price administrator Chester Bowles
Thursday denied congressional
charges that the OPA was hamper
ing business, asserting that business
failures were the lowest in half a
century and that profits of corpora
lions and small retail establish
ments were the highest in years
He filed a 20,000-word reply to %
specific charges against the OPA
by a special house committee in
vestigating excess use of authority
by federal agencies. The commit
tee is headed by Rep. Howard w.
Smith. Cd, Va.
Bowles said the committee had
failed completely to understand
certain elementary facts of price
control in saying it would be ad-
ministered so no person should be
forced out of business CT required
to sell at a loss.
To require OPA to adjust every
maximum price so that no seller
would have to sell any commodity
at loss would compel prices to be
fixed to cover the prices charged
by the highest-price, highest cost,
least efficient seller in every indus
try, and to rise with every increase
in his cost or decrease in his eff

more inflationary could readily be
Imagined"
Bowles said the best defense of
the OPA's use of its powers was the
fact that out of 499l court cases
brought against the agency, it has
lost only 291.
