Kiev Has Now Been
Recaptured

LONDON, Thursday, dec. 3d.
tR-The Red Army has surged to
within 48 miles of the prewar Po-
fish border west Of Kiev in a
spectacular bread-through along a
11C-mile arc. continuing today its
offensive across flat steppeland
that offered the Germans few nat
ural defenses short of the Bug
river, 200 miles away.
The Soviet power drive took $50
communities in "a hours, including
the major rail hub and fortress
town of Korosten as powerful Ger
man defenses were suddenly shat
tered, Moscow announced.
Beyond Previous Mark
Capture of the town of Vygov.
II miles beyond Korosten, and
Ushomir, in between, on the rail-
way line southwestward to Novo-
grad Volinsk placed the Russians
well beyond the Zhitomir- Korosten

offensive toward Poland.

Important Thrust
In an important thrust south

the Kiev-Zhmerinka line.

won in five weeks of bloody coun-

The Russians onre more, as they
had in late November, were threat

were reduced and plus marks were

The fact the Associated Press 60
stock average had got back the
greater part of its November re-
lapse led to some cashing in on the
idea the rally had been a bit too
fast. Reinvestment demand based
on the possibility year-end tax ad-
justments had been pretty well COM
pleted, remained as bolstering in
f1uence. Assorted accounts were
trimmed to await more important
