NEAR PROFESSIONALLY
Leipzig, Germany's sixth in

middle of the country, 100 miles
southwest of Berlin and almost
on the Czechoslovak border.
Leipzig has one of the worlds
largest railroad terminals on
lines linking it with other i'm
portant industrial centers like
Berlin, Regensburg and Kassel,
also recently blasted by Brit
ain-baSed Allied bombcrs.
II was the first big attack OF
the war on the city and repre-

DAYLIGHT RAIDS
The American daylight as

Of 81 Over Axis in Battle

American Army and Navy planes

rate of more than to l, the Office
of War Information said today in
detailed report on combat per-
formance of warplanes.
Earlier figures released by Owl
placed the rate of superiority of
American planes over the enemy at

was not strictly accurate, since it
included enemy planes destroyed
both in the air and on the ground,
and omitted American ground losses.
The Army and Navy declined to
supply figures as to American
ground losses for security reasons.
The ratio-actually 33 to lis based
only on planes lost in aerial combat.

Owl report, released last night,
showed that from the Pearl Harbor
attack to September l this year the
Army Air Forces destroyed 1912

in the period Is 6,279.

'Rogomuffin' Suit

CAMP EDWARDS, Mass, Oct. Is.
A new "ragamuffln" camouflase
sult-fit for a vagabond king in any
part of the globe-has been created
by Corpl Technician William O'Sul-
llvan Of Boston, 1st Service Com
mand officials announced today.
Designed at the 1st Service Com
mand Camouflage School, the new
suit is scientifically "ragamuffin. -
Colored burlap garlands knotted to-
eether cause the garment to belnd
with the immediate surroundings
and at the same time break up the
outline of the soldiers body better
than any other suit yet devised,
Army officials said
The garlands are simply strips of
burlap about inches Wide-similar
to the ones used in camouflaging
installations-and can be dyed any
color. Furthermore, they are cheap
and easy to obtain.
Army authorities explained that
as a result the new camoufage suits
can be made easily, quickly and
eheaply on the scene of action
enabling the men wearing them to
melt into the terrain in a manner
most disconcerting to the enemy.

Supreme Court Grants
Review Of 0PA-Hecht
Injunction Litigation
Case Turns on Question
Of Good Foith' os LeeoI
Defense Against Action

The Supreme Court today
granted a review of litigation
involving the question of whether
good faith" may be offered as
a defense against injunction pro-
ceedings instituted by the Office
of Price Administration when
price law violations are charged.
The Government contended the
issuance of an injunction to pre-
vent possible violations in the future
is mandatory, without any regard
to surrounding circumstances.
The case, the first of its kind to
reach the Supreme Court. grew out
OF a suit instituted last December.
1912, against the Hecht Co. in which
the OPA alleged that the depart
ment store had made 1888 sales
above ceiling prices and had COL
lected at least $4.623.l5 above the
legal maximum. Errors in a cost
of-living statement required by the
OPA also were alleged.
Contesting the injunction, the
company said its errors were honest
and grew out of the natural difficult
ties encountered in complying with
new law. Customers were being
reimbursed for overcharges as far
as possible, it was added, and where
this procedure could not be followed
the money was to go to charity. The

All Alabama union mines had

saying they had no contract with
the operators as their work agree

He said he did not know of any local
union in session yesterday which

yesterday, Mr.. Hanratty reminded

Disintegrotion Of

MOSCOW, Oct. 18.-The Red
Army rolled forward in two new
offenSlves west of the Dnieper
River today to clinch it's hold
on both banks of the river and

the entire German front.
Battle-line dispatches said Soviet
forces were pouring through a
widening gap made yesterday in the
German defenses inside the Dnieper
bend in the Kremenchug sector be-
hind Dnepropetrovsk. An impor-
tant new bridgehead was simultane-
ously established north OF Kiev by
a crossing of the Dnieper in the
Gomel sector and the capture of
Loev.

Red Army troops consolidated this
bridgehead today and pushed for

sistance.
Both drives menaced the Ukrain-

The Soviets, meanwhile, reported
encountering German reserves
brought from Poland. France, the
Netherlands and Denmark, but
added that they were pushing for
ward irresistibly.
The Russians now hold four main
bridgeheads west of the Dnieper:
Two below Kiev in the PereyaSlav
and Kremenchug sectors and two
above Kiev, one Immediately north
of the city and the other 100 miles
TO the north in the Loev sector.
Crossings Made Quickly.

waiting for reserves, supply bases
or engineering equipment to move

these forces were now in position
to press all-out offensives from
