Russian troops captured a dis
trict center in their advance in the
Lower Pripet River area west Of
Chernigov and wiped out bat
talon of enemy infantry.
In addition to their other assaults
the Germans unleashed counterat-
tacks to the north in the Ovruch
sector near the Pripet Marshes and
to the southeast in the Cherkasi
region, the Soviet, Army newspaper
Red Star disclosed in Moscow.
In the Cherkasi fighting the Ger
mans put strong forces into fight

troops but failed, Red Star related
in dispatches from the front The
crossing of the river was executed
by a brilliant combined operations
of Soviet parachutists and guerrillas
the army organ said.
German Rear Attacked.
The Partisans, operating in for
ests which stretch for miles north
west of Cherkasi, cleared landing
places for the parachutists and then
joined them in an attack in the
German rear, weakening the defense
of the Dnieper.
The Germans sent tanks and mo-
torized infantry against these units
forcing them out of a settlement
they had occupied and back into
the forests, but the main Red Army
forces took advantage of this di
version to cross the river and estab-
lish small bridgehead, which later
was expanded.
Loss of Cherkasi not only would
deprive the Germans of base for
one of their tank divisions but also
would rip their communications in a
vital sector between Kiev and Dnep-
ropetrovsk.
In the sector of Ovruch, railway
town northwest Of Kiev won by the
Russians Friday, the Germans
fought stubbornly along successive
defense lines, Red Star reported,
and counterattacked heavily to try
to take the town, but the Russian

Doctors Panel Urues
Stricter Regulations
To Control Rabies

Stricter regulations controlling
stray dogs are needed to halt the
epidemic of rabies here, officials OF
the District Health Department said
last night.
Specifically suggested were a rule
that would require all dogs to be
kept on leash, stricter fines for
owners who permit their dogs to
run loose, and prohibition for the
duration of the epidemic of the sale
of dogs by the District pound.
In addition, DR.. George C. Ruh-
land, District health officer, appealed
for greater public cooperation in
reporting stray dogs.
The suggestions were made in a
panel discussion on the rabies prob
lem, in which DR.. Rutland and three
other District Health Department
ofhcials-Dr. James G. Cummings,
chief of the Bureau Of Epidemiology;
DR.. r. R. Ashforth, chief of the
Veterinary Service, and DR.. J. E
Noble, bacteriologist - were among
the speakers. The discussion was
held at a meeting of the George
Washington University Medical
Society.
10000 Dogs Here.
Estimating that there are 10000
dogs in the District area and that
10000 of these are Strays, DR.. Ash
forth said that until we have a
strict regulation to control the stray
dog, we will not be able to eliminate
rabies in the District
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
Health Department officials pro-
posed a strict set of regulations
shortly after the rabies epidemic
began here, after having consulted
with health officials in neighbor-
ing areas and with members of the
District Medical Society.
The Commissioners have been
unable to put all the recommended
tions into effect, he said, because
of the somewhat unVieldy system
Of legislation" that EXISTS here.
Can't Go Full Way.
Congress in 1889 gave the Com
missioners power to make regula-
tions to control rabies, but because
this act did not specifically repeal
legislation passed in 1878 by Con-
gress, the Commissioners have been
unable to "go the full way DR..
Rutland said.
DR.. Cummings, pointing out that
IS cases of rabies have been re-
ported here since April, said that
'if all owners were to keep their
dogs off the street and on a leash,
after 80 days we would have no fur
ther rabies in the District" He
asked that the public cooperate in
keeping dogs off the street and re-
porting all strays.
Other speakers in the panel dis
cussion included DR.. Karl Habel,
past assistant surgeon, National In
stitute of Health; Dr.. Harry W.,
Schoening, assistant chief, Bureau
of Animal Industry, Agriculture De-
partment, and DR.. D. E. Bucking-
ham, former dean of the George
Washington University Veterinary
School. DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, sec
retary- treasurer of the society,
served as moderator for the dis
cuSsion.
