Toxic Radio Gloomy
On War Situation
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE Toxic
radio, in broadcasts reported to the
Office of War Information, told the
people of Japan today that the
development of the war situation
hereafter warrants absolutely no
optimism.
One Toxic domestic broadcast, the
owl said, admitted the japanese
had suffered costly" losses in the
operations around Lac, New Guinea
and cautioned that the Allies would
continue such persistent move
ments." The commentator insisted,
however. that the Japanese had
struck "annihilating blows" at those
Allied forces which had landed near
Lac.
A Japanese naval war correspond
ent who recently returned to Toxic
from the South Pacific broadcast an
impressive picture of American
strength in that war theater, the
owl added.
The battles Of the South Pacific
area mount in fury with each pass

ing. Recent offensive moves by
enemy forces in the Rendova, New
Georgia and New Guinea areas are

VIA Plan Expected
To Grant Sale Priority
On Milk for Home Use
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCldteQ TTeSS.
A system of controlling sales
of fluid milk in shortage areas,
under which home deliveries and
store sales for home consump-
ton will be given priority over
sales to public eating places, is
expected to be announced this
week by the War Food Admin
istration.
The system will be designed to
prevent increases in consumption of
fluid milk above recent level.
Last week VIA said civilian sup
plies of butter, cheese, evaporated
milk and other manufactured prod
ucts were threatened by contin-
ually increasing consumption of
fluid milk. 1t disclosed then that
dairy experts were working on plans
to co1lCrol fluid sales to safeguard
production of the essential dairy
products.
Program Now Before Jones.
The control program, now before
Food Administrator Marvin Jones,
would put the job of dividing sup
plies equitably largely on the shoul-
ders of the dairy industry itself.
The country would be divided into
number of distribution areas

ment marketing agent in charge of
each. He would be assisted by ad-
visory committees of the milk in
dustry. Milk dealers would be as
sessed to cover administration costs.
Milk distributors would be asked
to limit each consumer to the guam
tity consumed in base period, pos
slbly May or June of this year. The

BULLETIN,

LONDON (P.-Red Army
troops continued to develop
their Donets Basin offensive
today with advances of 6 to
IL miles and captured more
than 90 inhabited localities,
a Moscow communique re-
corded by the Soviet monitor
said tonight.
BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Sept. THE Red
Army in the Donets Basin has
practically completed the recap
ture of the rich mining area
while Russian forces advancing
in the general direction of Kiev,
capital city of the Ukraine, drove
on after capturing the rail juno
ton of Konotop and are now
threatening Bakhmach, another
important rail center.
CA Reuters dispatch from Mos
cow said the great steel city of
Stalino was under the fire of
Russian guns and that Soviet ad-
vance units were only two miles
away from the city and were
closing in for the kill. Stalinos
fall was expected momentarily.
CA Moscow communique re-
corded in London by the Soviet
radio monitor, said more than
10000 Germans were killed and
nearly 300 towns and villages
captured in gains ranging from
6 to Is miles during yesterdays
advance along 600-mile front.)
The Soviet Air. Force, softening
the way. for the advancing ground
troops, pounded the enemy front
line and near rear bases where the
retreating Germans were concen-
trating their forces in order to stem
the advance of the Russians.
The Russian newspaper Izvestia
said today that German artillery
support behind the Nazi minefields
was considerably weakened, making
the job of clearing the way much
easier for the Russian engineers.

Allied d-Soviet
Farley Near,
Roosevelt Says
President Expects
More Information
Within 48 Hours
By BLAIR BOLLES.

President Roosevelt said today
that progress has been made
since the Quebec conference and
since Saturday for an Anglo
American meeting with Premier
Stain participating. He added
that he hoped for more informa-
ton on the matter in "a or 4S
hours.
The President told his press con-
ference that he was unable to re-
veal just exactly how far the prog
ress had gone, but confirmed off,
cially a report previously given
anonymously by high Allied source
that a Mediterranean commission
was to be established by the Allies
with Russian membership.
1t also was learned from high
Allied authority that transition
period would be sought by the vic
torious Allies to intervene between
the firing of the last shot of the
war and the signing of a treaty of
peace.
World Will Be Shocked.
The authority said the world
would be pretty well shell-shocked
when the firing stopped, and it
would be a good thing for humanity
to let everybody catch his breath.
The maintenance of peace dur
Ing the transition period, the in
formant said, would be up to the
victors. and therefore the opera
tions of the Anglo-American COM
bined chiefs of staff committee
would be continued in order to keep
the peace.
The informant speculated that
service of that sort by the combined
chiefs of staff committee might in
spire the United Nations to decide
that the committee should be con-
tinued as permanent organization
when the treaty of peace was finally
written.
The peace-time organization of
the chiefs of staff committee would
be de facto military alliance for
consultation at least between the
United States and Great Britain.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press con-
ference that he better not enlarge
on the nature of the Mediterranean
commission, but he added that it's
general objective dealt with getting
the Mediterranean out of the war.
Hadn't Seen Report.
Mr.. Roosevelt opened the confer
ence by announcing that a state
ment in the recent lend re-
port attributed to him had not been
seen by him when the report was
publicized.
The President disclaimed the two
sentences in the report stating that
the United States wanted no war
debts after this war.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the ma
tions receiving lease lend support
will repay us as far as they possibly
can.
That doesn't mean that they will
pay in dollars, necessarily, he said,
but in whatever way they can.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that a re-
vised copy of the report with the
two sentences changed would be
sent to Congress Monday.

Sunday morning while Gen. Douglas

used by the japanese for months
and was overgrown with kunai grass

level, easily can be placed into

lenders OF Lac and Salamaua.

Ian ground force started to cross
the nearby Markham River by
