Jugos Hold
In Z. Bosnia

London, Nov. 2-(UP)-Jugoslav
partisan forces have beaten off four
attacks by German and Satellite
troops, including a tank-supported
force in Eastern Bosnia, inflicting
$40 casualties in spreading battles,
a communique said today.
Two hundred Germans were killed
or wounded when partisan units,
aided by Montenegrin Guerrillas,
forced back strong German forces in
a battle near Kolashin, SO miles
southeast of Sarajevo.
A German drive trying to break
through from Brchko to Tuzla, in
Eastern Bosnia 80 miles southwest
of Belgrade, was smashed. The
communique said 1000 German and
Satellite troops made the attempts
with aid of armored forces.
On the Serbian border the par
Vlsan sixth DIVISION captured los
Germans and some guerrilias de-
scribed as being members Of Gen.
Draja Mikhailovitch's forces. Fight
ing still was in progress.
Other successes were scored in
Western Bosnia where the village of
BerStoshe was captured and about
IS Germans slain and in Croatia
where three columns of Axis troops
trying to start a drive south Of Ia
greb were beaten off.

Revenue Bill
Still BreWinq

Washington, Nov. 2.-(UP)-The
House Ways and Means committee
expected to finish work on the new
general revenue bill today or to-
morrow and send recommendations
totaling $2,183 100000 to the House
floor.
Committee Chairman Robert L.
Doughton, D., N. c., said the group
concluded its search for new reven-
lie by adding 100000 to the bill
through removal of deductions now
permitted to individuals under the
personal income tax law for levies
paid directly as federal excuses.
Under the new bill, taxpayers could
not claim relief for tax charges on
telephone and telegraph facilities,
amusements, gasoline or Transport
tation. Deductions never were au-
thorized for indirect levies such as
those on cigarettes and liquor.
Thus, the committee plans to give
Congress blueprint design for
raising approximately one-fifth of
the 10000, 900, 900 revenue goal set
by the administration. Members
said there was little likelihood that
earlier rejection Of a national retail
sales tax would be reconsidered.

NMU Myers
Calls Lewis
Labor Judas

Philadelphia, Nov. a. CUP -
Calling John L. Lewis, President of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, the Judas of American Labor
committing 1.-THE greatest treason
against America" Frederick Myers,
vice president of the National Mar
thine Union, told the sixth annual
convention Of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations today that Lew
is must be driven from the Amer
lean labor scene.
Myers said the current work stop
page of Lewis United Mine Workers
was the greatest blow against the
nation and the greatest treason
against America"
I'VE must expose Lewis" Myers
said. HE is the Judas of American
labor and we must drive him from
the labor scene. It's about time the
absentee landlord be driven from
the palace. He is not a miner"
A general attack on Lewis, former
president of the CIO, was given by
r. j. Thomas, president of the
United Automobile Workers. Thomas
said Lewis, who Is seeking to regain
admittance to the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, is no longer prob
lem of the CLIO because she is no
longer by any stretch of the imag-
nation a threat to our solidarity"
Thomas, speaking in floor discus
sion of President Philip Murray's
annual report, told the 500 dele
gates that Lewis certainly is g.
problem for his own membership"

Interest In
Conn. Votes
INV United Pressl

Voters went to the polls in cleo
tons in Connecticut's five largest
cities today, with the main interest
centering at Hartford where Re-
publican State Senator William Fl.
Mortensen was making a strong bid
to defeat Dennis j. O'Connor, who
inherited the mayoralty when Demo-
cratic Mayor Thomas j. Spellacy re-
signed some months ago.
The heaviest voting was antici-
pated at Hartford, where some fore
casters said as high as IS per cent
of the electorate would go to the
polls. Mortensens principal issue has
been the so-called unseen govern
ment of Anthony Zazzaro, a local
politician and businessman whom he
accused of controlling the Demo-
cratic administration.
At Bridgeport, Socialist Mayor
Jasper McLevy was up for sixth
consecutive term, and was regarded
as a sure winner over Republican
Edward "Slim" Young, restaurant
proprietor, and Democrat Attorney
Lloyd Wheeler.
The New Haven election was con-
sidered by Democrats as an easy vic
tory for Mayor John w. Murphy,
over Republican candidate Angus
Fraser, while at Waterbury, John s.
Monagan, Democrat, appeared GER
tain of reelection over Republican
John j. Kearney.

Farm Bloc Leaders Hope
To Beat Food Subsidies

Washington, Nov. 2-(UP)-Con-
gressional farm bloc leaders believed
today they had sufficient strength
to ban food subsidies despite Pres
ident Roosevelt's warning that con-
gress would be held responsible for
initiation.
Mr. Roosevelt probably would veto
any bill banning food subsidies. Last
springs fight over a similar veto
ended with a compromise whereby
the administration could continue
its food subsidy program until Jan.
1. But it appeared likely that there
must be a longer range decision
this time.
Even though the farm bloc has
the vote sto defeat the subsidy pro-
gram, 1t will be a difficult choice to
make. Farm state legislators want
to keep alive the Commodity Credit
Corporation through which the sub
sidy program has been operating,
because they favor many OF ita price
support operations
They also know, however, Chat If
they pass bill to continue the life
Of the CC-which now expires Jan.

Allies Crack
End OF Nazi
Roman Line

Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Nov
2 = (U.P) - American and British
Fifth Army troops cracked the
southern end of the main German
defense line below Rome today
driving forward into vital anchor
points at high cost of lives to
GUST the Germans from strongly
held mountain positions.
Lieutenant General Mark W.
Clarks forces, in twin drives, hack
ed two major chunks from the Nazi
Little Rommel" line by storming
the slopes of Massico Ridge at sew
eral points and capturing most OF
the Maltese Mountains toward the
center of the line.
Official commentators emphasized
that the German line some 80 miles
below Rome was not yet crumbling
but that they had lost vital points
which they had fought bitterly to
hold.
Driving for a four mile advance,
British troops captured the town
of Casanova to occupy high points
on the Massico Ridge coastal anchor
of the enemy line, installing itself
on high ground dominating the
plains of the Garigliano river sever
miles northward.
Seize Positions
In the center Allied troops fan
ned out north and northwest of
Teano to seize new high ground and
at the northern end of the Fifths
front the Americans seized Maltese
Mountain positions dominating the
eastern side of the Volturno river
and within heavy artillery range of
the important enemy pivot at Vena-
fro. Extent distance of the gain was
not specified.
Weather and terraine dominated
the forward battle front. All avail
able mules had been brought up to
carry food, ammunitions and sup
plies and the troops themselves were
forced to form human chains to
pass up shells and heavy equip
ment.
An Allied military spokesman said
the Allied push had very severely
shaken and partly "unhitched" the
German line on the western Massico
Ridge and Maltese Mountains sec
tors.
Advancing at what was officially
described as "heavy cost" Brit
ish forces stormed Massico Ridge to
capture the town of Casanova while
the east American troops seized
most of the Maltese Mountain
range which included some of the
strongest enemy positions.

BY JOHN l.. CUTTER


Washington, Nov. 2-(UP)-Sen.
Scott w. Lucas, D., ILL.,, describing
the current Senate debate on For
eign policy as wholly anti-climatic,' =
may ask the Senate today to adopt
the language Of the four-power
Moscow agreement as its own dec
laration on postwar United States
foreign policy.
He was considering offering the
words of the Moscow declaration as
substitute for the Senate foreign
relation committees resolution and
all proposed amendments, on Inter-
national cooperation to maintain
peace.
The purpose of such a move, he
said, would be to end the Senate
debate. He pointed out that the
principles enunciated at Moscow
had won the acclaim Of the support
ers of the committee resolution as
well as of the small group proposing
to strengthen and clarity" it by
amendment.
Committee Chairman Tom Con-
nally, D. Tex, said: II feel there Is
no difference in the principles of
the committee resolution and those

with a ban on subsidies, Mr..
Roosevelt likely will veto it and his
veto probably will be sustained.
That would kill the agency-some-
thing they do not want.
The House Banking and Currency
committee already has approved a
bill, by % to vote, which would
continue the CCC but prohibit it
from paying subsidies on any farm
commodity or any product made
from farm commodities" Ten Dem
ocrats voted for the bill but re-
served the right to oppose the sub
sidy ban when the measure reaches
the house floor.
No sooner had the presidents
12,000-word message on food been
read TO congress yesterday than
Sens. w. Lee O'Daniel, D.. Tex,
and George D. Aiken, r., VT, ac-
cused Mr.. Roosevelt of trying to in
f1uence the New York and Philadel-
phia city elections today because OF
his appeal to hold down consumer
Prices.
General opinion was that the
message would change few votes in
congress on the subsidy issue.

Hyde Park, N. Y, Nov. 2 - GU.
P) - President Roosevelt, describ-
ing himself as "tree grower" did
his part for the Democratic ticket
today by casting his ballot in the
state election at the Old Town Hall.
The chief executive and Mrs.
Roosevelt drove from their nearby
estate to the polling place shortly
before noon and it was a safe bet
that they went down the line for
Democratic nominees.
Miss Emma Crapser, veteran in
spector of the Hyde Park voting
place, greeted the President. She
asked Mr.. Roosevelt to give his
name and he did.
"Occupation?" she asked.
II think, that this time I'll say
tree grower"
For years it had been his custom
to describe himself as farmer, but
as he explained to Miss Crapser,
I'm growing more trees than 7 axl
farming.
Elmer Van Wagner, Incumbent
Democratic town supervisor, rum
ming for reelection against Repub-
lican Wilfred Borner, met the pres
ident at Town Hall and Mr.. Roose-
welt joshed him for being too close,
as a candidate, to the polling
booths.
The president, the 205th voter,
cast his ballot quickly and then gave
up his place to his wife whose alb

(The official German news agency
DNB said that Russian forces in
the Caucasus had swept across Ker-
chenski Strait and landed north
and south of Kerch at the eastern
tip of the Crimea in an apparent
pincers offensive against the Pen
insula. Although the agency claim
ed that the major part" of the So
Wet forces had been wiped out, it
admitted by implication that the
Russians had established bridge
head.
All signs pointed to speedy So
Wet conquest of the Black Sea
peninsula, which has been torn by
wars since the year $50. The Ger
man garrison had been denuded to
a maximum of 10000 troops and
had failed to halt the Russians even
temporarily on the narrow Perekop
Peninsula.
While Russian advance guards
famed out across the northern
coastal plains of the Crimea, Cen
eral Fedor I. Tolbukhin's main
forces were delivering the coup de
grace to struggling tens of thou
sands Of Germanys shattered south

Soviet advance across the Nogaisk
Steppes.
Death Or Surrender
Tolbukhin's hard-riding Cossacks
and motorized forces drove to with
in 30 miles of Kherson at the
mouth of the Dnieper while infan-
try and tanks to the rear gave by
passed German stragglers the choice
of death or surrender.
The Soviet right flank pushed in
to the everglades and reached the
south bank of the Dnieper river at
two points above Khakova.
The Russian through into
the Crimea was foreshadowed by
the hurdling of the main defense
line on the Perkop Peninsula, the
Turketski Val turkish walD yes

town of Perekop. The Russians also
