Nassau, Bahamas, Nov. 3.-UP)- The widow of Sir Harry Oakes, tes- tifying as a crown witness against her son-in-law, Alfred De Marigny, who is charged with his murder, de- scribed in supreme court today the circumstances that made a surgical operation to terminate" the preg- nancy of her daughter necessary.
 Somber ill her widows weeds, the pale-faced widow of the multi millionaire gold prospector, said 19- year-old Nancy had become preg- nant only a few months after she had almost died of typhoid in Mex ico City. Her physical condition was such that medical opinion felt that childbirth might be fatal and an op- eration was performed in Palm Beach last January.
 T had to tell Harry how much agony Nancy had been in-how she suffered Lady Eunice testified, tears in her eyes. He was very re- sentful."
 Attorney General Eric Hallinan asked her how she had felt.
 T felt like any mother would. I had written Alfred in Mexico and told him to take the utmost care of Nancy. There was TO mistaking what I meant
 Lady Eunice was permitted to sit iri the witness box. Her voice quay cred occasionally as she testified
 Speaking so softly her words were barely audible to spectators, she told Of receiving the news of the marriage of her daughter Nancy to the 36- year-old count in May. 1942.

 HOrsemen Take Over
 Horsemen took over the pursuit in the Dnieper estuary region as the soft sands threatened to bog down tanks and motorized forces.
 The Germans put up their bitter est resistance in the by-passed re- zion below the big Manganese cen- ter of Nikopol, where they were fighting 8 desperate rear guard &C., ton while trying to evacuate the bulk of their shattered units across the Dnieper.
 Even in this area, however, the Russians were advancing relentless ly and large portion of the Ger man force seemed doomed to de- struction.
 The Russians near the Dnieper estuary had advanced nearly 125 miles to the west in the 10 days since the fall of Melitopol, gateway to Nogaisk Scopes, in what prob ably was the most "a id thrust ever made by the Red Army.
 Russian artillery was laying down a crushing barrage across the lower Dnieper Kakhovka in apparent pre- -paration for Soviet thrust to the north to close a trap in the Dniep- CT bend on the biggest German army since Stalingrad.
 Burning Villages
 Front dispatches said the Cos sacks rode through the burning steppe villages and stormed and oc- cupied Kakhovka after days fighting. The road to Ka.hovka was illuminated by night by blazing wheat stacks and houses.

c0SSAcKS PURSUE BEATEN FOE NaZi Defense Line Below Rome Breaks
Monagan And Entire Ticket Are
 Elected To Retain Political Offices

Mayor John s. Monagan and his entire party ticket yesterday re- tained hold on their respective cleo tive offices in an election that proved one of the most cOnServa- tive in the city's history.
 A total of 27,521 votes cast, about 58 per cent of the city's eligible vOt- CTS, resulted in majority victory for the Democrats by estimates th1. range from 3,751 to 4,OOO. The N- ficial count will not be determined by the chief moderator and the registrars office until late today or early tomorrow morning.
 Unofficial figures gave Mayor Monagan a tottal of 15,732 votes as compared with his opponents tally of 11,789. Of MT. Kearney's total vote, unofficial figures show that Il, 1,168. were recorded as Republican votes and 621 came from the Inde- pendent Democratic supporters.
 Reasons for yesterdays quiet election are based primarily on the general atmosphere of war that heavily overshadowed political ac- I1FAC1Co III OA1C AA4AAAAO OA 4cAAAACo with their loved ones in the armed services. Another factor that defin- itely contributed to the light vote was the pre-occupation of the citys voters in their war time jobs in all the local industries and essential businesses. The weather was like wise to be taken into consideration although "rumors had it that yes- terday,s rain was actually ordered by the Democrats"
 Succeeded Scully
 This is the first time that Mayor Monagan has been elected to any municipal office, in view of the fact that he succeeded to his present tenure of office upon the death of the late Vincent A. Scully. Mayor sMOnagan q < the tip,GS fiAs sli,tesideat of the board of alkfrnlen and un- der city charter ruling automatically succeeded to the mayoralty.

ENEMY BEGINS AN ORDERLY
 RETREAT NORTH

Allied Headquarters, AL giers, November 3. - (UP)- The German line below Rome is breaking before pounding Allied attacks and the enemy has begun an orderly retreat northward, it was announced today.
 American spearheads, fighting through heavy Nazi tank attacks, plunged three miles deeper into the enemy defenses in high ground less than 90 miles south of Rome as the German line designed to delay the march on the Italian capital began disintegrating.
 Americans of the Fifth Army swarmed through the mountains to occupy San Croce ridge and stra- tegic heights of the Massico ridge, positions from which they com- manded part of the Garigliano river plain behind Mount Massico.
 The steady advance by American forces of Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clark's Fifth Army came as the British Eighth Army seized sec- ond bridgehear across the Trigno river on the Adriatic end of the trang-Italy front and Allied aircraft destroyed 37 enemy planes in their biggest bag in weeks.
 An Allied Military commentator said the Allied pressure was begin ming to tell and the German de- lenses were sagging although the energy gave up reluctantly-but steadily-his delaying actions all along the line.
 The Germans appeared to be dropping back into new mountain defenses above the Garigliano river where they will need additional troous for a longer line, the com mentator said, adding the retreat probably was forced by continual heavy battle losses.
 Both Tsernia and Venafro, central pivots of the German defenses, were brought within close artillery rango by the advancing Americans who captured the key towns of Gallo, three miles northwest OI Valle Agricola, and Pratella, two miles beyond Ailano.
 The Americans also captured new positions in heights on San Croce Ridge, five miles northwest of Tesno, from which they dominate the Barigliano River plains seven miles beyond the German Anchor Point on Mt. Massico.
 The enemys retreat was char acterized as orderly in official re- ports and it followed severe losses inflicted by the advancing Fifth and Eighth Armies.

COP. Leaders Mbilant At Seen Ant-Ne1u Deal Trend

New York, November 3. - (UP)- Republican leaders today jubilantly interpreted New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Kentucky cleo ton returns as proof that the 1m- pressive anti-New Deal trend of 1942 was continuing into presiden- tial year.
 Scattered local contests also ap- peared to point that way. The New Deal-Democratic coalition of conservative and liberal Democrats, Lahorites, Communists and other left wingers generally was over whelmed in the contests where it ex- isted, notably in New York and New Jersey.
 But in measuring the outcome of the ballotting against President Roosevelt's potential pulling power as a fourth term candidate, some cautious observers reflected that the President, himself, was not directly an issue in any of yesterdays polls.
 Governor Thomas E. Dewey viewed New York returns as "a vote of confidence in the state admins tration."
 WillSie's Opinion
 Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 Republi- can presidential nomineee, said:
 Returns from New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, Philadelphia and other places all point one way. The country is tired--yery tired of the present national administration"
 Chairman Harrison E. Spangler, of the Republican National Com mittee, said the returns showed tEit the Tight of the New Deal has flick cred out"
 Democrats had little to say other than in messages of congratulations to their Republican opponents.
 The COP. gained It's 18th goVer- nor in New Jersey where Walter E. Edge, wealthy veteran of party hon. ors, won an easy victory over Mayor Vincent J. Murphy, of Newark, Democrat. Murphy had united Democratic, Labor and left wing backing, including Communist sup port, and the power of Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey City, state Demo- cratic boss.
 The 25 states now Republican, governed have a substantial ma jority off the electoral college.
 Dewey's Stock Rooms
 Republican presidential year pros poets in New York state and Dewey's stock as 1944 COP draft" nominee for president boomed with returns from the states special lieutenant governor election.
 State Senator Joe R. Hanley, Deweys hand-picked Republican nominee, won going away from Lieuf. Gen. William N. Haskell, Democrat. by about 325.0 votes.

 Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Nov. 3-(UP)-During g. p months as a prisoner of the Japanese have seen cruelty and want but never in the history of the world have I heard of such a systematic campaign of progressive starvation as Japan has waged against the prostrate areas she has conquered.

Triumphant StoIin Speech Anticipated

Editors note: Edward w. Beattte, veteran United Press War Cores pondent, has learned that Josef Sta lin is expected to make broadcast of great moment in c ynnection with the Soviet national holiday this week end. In the following dispatch he draws on his knowledge of mill tary tactics, gained on battlefronts of Europe, Asia and Africa, and his observation of the Russian advances to put himself in the position from which Stalin may survey the war this weekend.
 BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Nov. 3-(UP)-Josef Sta lin is expected to step to micro phone in Moscow this weekend to broadcast to the world 8 mighty triumph of Russian arms perhaps the greatest Nazi rout in history. Students of Russian propaganda technique are prepared for leng- thy address and order of the day by the master strategist of the Red armies in connection with Soviet commemoration of the 26th anniver- sary of the October revolution which brought the Bolsheviks to power.
 Without counting too many un- matched chickens, one may envision the major outlines of Stalin's mili- tary picture at weeks end, whether he explores 1t verbally at the mic rophone or contemplates it with pipe-puffing satisfaction in the Kremlin.
 Greatest Successes 4
 He will be in a position to lt1; perhaps the greatest successes won by any army seizure of staggering booty, and capture of thousands of prisoners as the Germans wriggle westward to avoid total encircle- ment.
 No doubt there will be new victor les during the next few days he can add to the fruits of the Red armys westward surge. Military observers here foresee a series of fierce Nazi crSlter-thrusts along the western edge of the Soviet Salient above Krivoi Rog These would be desper- ate efforts to stall the Russians long enough to spring the main body of NaNs east of the Krivoi Rog- Niko- pol line out of the threatened en- circlement.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1943-12-23

Running up the second highest
score made by any Ohio team SO far
this season, Bluffton High cagers
handed Ada a stunning "a to 27
drubbing last Friday night on the
Ada court.
The Pirates could do nothing
wrong in racking up their fourth
consecutive victory, and ended the
evening with the amazing record of
having made good on 70 per cent
of their shots from the field.
Ada, no pushover, had won five
games before meeting Bluffton, and
in pre-game estimates it had been
"doped" that the two unbeaten out
fits probably would fight it out on
more or less evenly matched terms.
Against Bluffton last Friday night,
however, Ada was in no way a
capable foe, with the Pirates romp-
ing away to 10 to 6 lead at the
quarter, and tholding az to IA
advantage at halftime.
1t was in the third quarter that
the Hasson crew struck their most
amazing stride, however, for. they
sent exactly 80 points swishing
thru the nets to lead II to 20 at
the close of the period.
Had it not been for the use of
substitutes in the closing quarter,
the red-hot Bluffton aggregation
probably would have run the score
up over the 100-mark, SO badly did
they have Ada outclassed in the
closing minutes.
Three Bluffton players Tailed more
than 20 points in the tilt. Schmidt

supply of food for the pan fish re-
leased in the quarry by the club. AL
though there is screen on the creek

size to allow additional minnows and
craw fish to move thru the tile into
