TIERS, Algiers, Nov. 21.-
(P)-In sharp fighting AL
lied armies have captured
four key points along the
Italian front - Agnone, Ar
chi, Castel San Vincenzo and
Rocchetta - Strengthening
out their line and shortening
it by some 20 miles, Allied
headquarters announced.
In capturing Agnone, the
veterans of Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery ironed out
an eight-mile deep German
salient, which extended from
Carovilli to Salicito in the
central sector and which had
prevented the Allies from U.s.
ing all of the lateral highway
running from Vasto on the
Adriatic to Isernia in the
mountains.
No Opposition Noted
Overrunning Agnone without
meeting opposition, the Eighth Ar
my plunged on beyond.
Near the Adriatic, the troops UNI.
der Montgomery also pushed for
ward to capture Archi and nearby
heights 10 miles from the sea.
Another three mile advance was
chalked up in the upper Volturno
region where 1t. Gen. Mark w.
Clark's Fifth Army troops occu-
pied Castel San Vincenzo and Roc
chetta, northwest of Isernia, broad
ening their elbow room for thrust
toward the highway center of Cas-
tel di Sangro.
All these operations accomplish
ed yesterday were carried out in
extremely bad weather-so bad
that virtually all Allied air oper.
atoms were cancelled.
In previous advances the Allies,
especially on the Eighth Army
front, had driven salients forward
at many points. In these latest op-
erations the gaps between salients
were shaken out, thus effecting a
shortening Of the line as a sailor
would take in the slack in a rope.
The gains of the past "a hours
brought the Eighth Army square

winter lines at all points.

ering forces had Withdrawn be-
yond the Sangro river in the face
of vastly superior forces"
Arch is two miles from the east
ern bank of the river Sangro. It
was seized after brisk fighting.
Agnone, famous for it's manufac-
lure of churchbells, was occupied
after the Germans had deserted the
town, but, in a hot. pursuit in the
hills beyond, the British engaged in
a number of sharp clashes with the
cetreating enemy and inflicted hea-
w casualties.

Rev. Turner spoke from a
rich experience gained while

He developed his theme on the
premise that dealing with post

alternatives: permanent military
occupation and policing or lib

for construction. The speaker
then went on to point out that
there are great numbers of po-

could make the latter plan
workable.

TO Succeed
Michigan Man

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 Up
- President Roosevelt accepted
today the resignation of Prentiss
NJ. Brown as Price Administra-
tor.
Brown turned in his Tesigna-
ton in a six-page letter dated
last Tuesday, in which he said
he thought the Price Control
program was well defined i'm
laws and in presidential orders
and the main task now is one
of administration.
The President is expected to
send to the Senate soon the NOM
ination of Chester BOwIes, gen.
eral manager of the Office OF
Price Administration, to succeed
Brown.
Bowles prior TO becoming gen.
eral manager of 0PA was the
agency's director for Connecti-
cut.
Brown, former senator from
Michigan who was defeated for
reelection, took over the reins
OF OPA from Leon Henderson
less than year ago.
In his letter to Mr.. Roosevelt
he said the OPA organization
had been greatly improved and
he believed its was in compe-
tent hands. He said he thought
price control was not only sue
cessful but also appreciated by
the country.
Supporting his words with ia
bles and figures on specific COM
modities and prices, Brown said
the upward trend in the cost of
living had been arrested, but
that two big problems confront
the administration i'll attempt

subsidy question and the matter
of renewing price control after

communiquc disclosed.
DUAL BLOWS
A second Red Army column
was racing south TOWARD Krivoi
Rog, important rail junction and
center of the south Russian iron
industry and today was reported
10 be within 35 miles of that key
German stronghold guarding the
last escape railway route from
the Crimea.
More than 1900 Nazis were
slain in this advance, the Rus
sian communique declared.
Capture of Krivoi Rog would
virtually seal off the tens Of
thousands OF Germans huddled in
Dnepropetrovsk and in the Dnie-
per bend above Melitopol, where
the Russians were reported to
be methodically cleaning out
last ditch Nazi units who have
been stubbornly holding out for
more than a week. Some of the
bloodiest fighting OF the war was
going on inside the city, with
the Red Army spearheads inch
ing slowly forward at bayonet
point, front dispatches said.
Elimination of the German
forces in the Dnieper bend,
which the Russian communique
indicated was practically assur-
ed after yesterdays advances,
would leave the way open for
a swift Red Army drive across
the SteppeS 10 Perekop PENN
sula and the mouth Of the
Dnieper river where il flows in
TO the Black Sea.
Unless the Nazis make good
their escape from their German
positions, they face the possibil-
lily of debacle unequalled
since Stalingrad.

tin said, the Germans were fall
