part of the Italian fleet. totaling
more than 100 warships of all cate
gorieS, is in Allied hands.
Among the Italian naval units
shifted over to the Allied side after
Italy surrendered were five of six
battleships in commission and
eight of II cruisers, Churchill said.
More than 10000 tons of mer-
chant ships so far have ben acc
counted for in ports under Allied

ton in commons said.
THE position of the ships and
crews still are under active con-

Official summary of the

the crops in the 1942-43 was made
public this week by w. G. Costello,
supervisor in charge for the war

He credited the Mexican nation

farmers from worrying. A total

Imported into the valley, some 20
per cent Of the total number of
field workers. He said that this 20
per cent made the difference be-
tween success and abject failure.
SHARE BENEFITS
Other general benefits derived
from the importation of the ma .

estimated here that between $3.50 900

MeXicanS found its way back into
community channels through the
purchases made by the Mexicans
in stores in Imperial Valley towns.
Under the agreement with the Mex

earnings of each Mexican national
was sent back to Mexico to form

Hitler Empire May
Collapse in Fall,
Observers Believe
Increasing Anti-Axis--...
Trend in Europe Seen
AS Forecast of Future

LONDON, Oct. IL. (UP)-
Qualified observers said to-
day that the balance of the
European war had swung so
heavily in favor of the Allies
during the past 10 days that Adolf
Hitler's continental empire may
collapse this fall.
A sudden CRISIS also may develop
within Germany itself, they added,
but this possibility is more remote.
The Red army's advance from the
east, the Anglo-American bombing
offensive from the west and south
and unrest inside the "Featung
Europa of them new factors
in the conflict-took on new import
ance during the past week as the
Germans struggled to consolidate
somewhere for the winter.
,STRAWS IN WIND
Among the latest strawS in the
wind pointing to an increasing anti
Axis trend inside Europe were
these:
Reports reached London that
the Germans have informed the
Vichy government of their inten-
ton of imposing even more rigid
control over France, including the
arrest of all officers of the French
armistice army and the disarming
of police, presumably to nip any
pro-Allied uprising or coup coincid-
ing with German military reverses.
The measures originally were to
have been invoked only in the event
of an Allied invasion.

in Stockholm said the Rumanian
government has ordered the Ru-

City on Dnieper Prior
To Pulling out Forces
BY UNITED PRESS

Russian and German fore
es were engaged Tuesday in
a climactic struggle for Kiev,
ancient capital of the Uk-
raine and once-great Nazi military
base, as the Red army forged ahead
on the long Soviet front.
The Germans were reported firing
and leveling the city before giving
it up to Soviet troops fighting their
way through it's main defenses.
Slowly but surely the Russians
were gaining the upper hand against
desperate Nazi attempts to prevent
full collapse of the Dnieper river
line. Entire Russian divisions wee
ferrying the river to enlarge Dis
and firmly-held bridgeheads.
Once Kiev falls, the Germans MAJ
be forced to turn and run again.
FRUITLESS EFFORT
Kiev's semicircle of detenses were
blasted open, and the Germans
threw masses of men, tanks, and
planes in counterattacks from Kiev
southwark to Kremenchug, lis
miles down the Dnieper, in fruit
less effort to stop the Russians.
