LONDON, Sept. 10 P) -
The Rome radio today denied
reports originating in Switzer-

Milan AfIanle
With Violence
Night of Terror
Reported in Bern

BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 10
- up - A Swiss Geographic
agency dispatch from Chiasso
near the Italian border said that
the situation at Milan was fever
ish today after a night of "vio-
lent" demonstrations by Italians
against German business and
private buildings in which prop
erty and goods of the former
ally were destroyed.
War between the Italians
and Germans already has be-
gum" the dispatch said.
1t added that according to the
latest information Germs n
troops had not yet occupied the
city but were around it. Italian
troops are stationed in its peri
phery and it is feared that at any
moment the two forces will
clash, the dispatch said.
Fear of q break in railroad
traffic with the rest of Italy was
increased with the failure Of
many trains to arrive in Milan
during the night.
At Como, on the border north
OF Milan, no German troops
have been seen but ii is known
that there are many garrisons in
nearby villages.
Last night a former Socialist
deputy addressed a vast throng
amid cheers and told them that a
crisis with Germany already had
occurred. He urged the populace
to be faithful to the orders of
Premier Pietro Badoglio and
"chase the Germans from Ital-
ian territory"
THE Italian people" the dis
patch said, know that their
country is destined to become q
battlefield"

Russians Roll
Steadily Ahead
Close-In on
Fortress at kiev

MOSCOW, Sept. 10 %
The Red Army marched across
the northern Ukraine to d ay
along a 100 mile front from
Bakhmach to Zenkov, closing in
on Kiev and the Germans mid
die Dnieper River defense line
less than 80 miles away.
The new push in the center of
this front, reported by the army
newspaper Red Star, brought the
Russians to a series of small
streams northeast of Romny, 1873
miles east of Kiev, while the
right wing bore down from
Bakhmach, whose capture was
triumphantly announced yester-
day, toward northeast Kiev.
The left wing, which has serv-
ed as a base for an/ immense
turning movement against kiev,
rested on ZenRov and the Psel
River defenses which have al
ready been outflanked from the
north by Red Army arc swing
ing to the west.
The immediate Soviet object
i've in the center was plainly
labelled Priluki, SO miles south
west of Romny and 81 miles
east, of Kiev.

would create a direct threat 20

city, and shatter the German
defenses to the southeast around

announced capture of the bastion
of Roslavl in the Smolensk flank
after hard fighting.
The Germans, who had spent
some 100000 lives in a vain effort
to defeat Russia. acknowledged
through their best-known commen-
tator, Capt. Ludwig Sertorius, that
the Red army had pushed westward
beyond the Smolensk area in
general drive aimed into White
Russia and toward the old Polish
frontier.
These advances were believed to
threaten to collapse the Nazi de-
fenSeS running northward to Lenin-
grad and open the Baltic states to
the Russian armies. The Red armies
crossed the headwaters of the Dnie-
per to take Smolensk but there were
only unconfirmed indications that
they had crossed the Dnieper south

velop Kiev.

Agriculture Labor
Outlook Is Bright,
Says Farm Chief
Head of Farm Placement
Agency Says Few Crops
In State Have Been Lost

DR.. E. B. Crocheron, direc-
tor of the University of Cal
ifornia extension service in
the state, declared while in
Ell Centro Saturday that the
agricultural labor prospects in CAL
ifornia were most encouraging for
the fall and winter season.
There have been no crop losses
in the state because of lack of
agricultural labor Crocheron said.
There have been losses because
the prices offered for the crops did
MT suit the farmer and because
of lack of labor for processing
plants, it is true, but not due to
a lack of farm labor
TELLS ACCOMPLISHMENT
Last week the farm labor service
placed 1900 men on the farms,
representing a rise from the 5000
average when the extension service
first took over the recruiting and
assignment of farm labor"
He declared he was surprised that
the city people in large population
areas responded so well to appeals
for help on the farms. He said they
have been most useful and though
unframed and slow in some in
stances, the farmer had not OBJ
jected as he paid piece work prices
and did not suffer from the lack
of training and speed. The problem
in Imperial Valley is different,
Crocheron said, as city people prob
ably would not be able to stand
the farm work in high tempera-
lures without training for it after

With the Russians sweeping west
ward past Smolensk in probably the
greatest offensive of the war, the
implications of the Nazi defeat were
tremendous although not yet en-
tirely clear Many experts believed
that, if the present momentum can
be maintained, Hitler cannot hope
to establish a powerful defense line
anywhere short of the Bug and
Dniester rivers in Poland, which
would threaten to knock Finland
out of the war and open Rumania
as well as eastern Germany to Rus
sian aerial bombardment.

headquarters which the Nazis pre-
viously had said was abandoned,
