Rokitno Captured AS
Germans Are Routed

lenses shattered on the whole
Ukrainian battle arc, said the Red
army was storming forward relent-
lessly, clearing one district after
another.
The Germans were In diSorderly
flight at some points, their hard
pressed commanders having lost
control, and they were throwing
away their arms and other equip
ment to facilitate their rout. the
official newspaper said.
The magnitude of the German
losses, particularly in armor, was
becoming more apparent daily.
While extending his spearhead
westward along the Rokitno-War
saw railroad and broadening his
salient into the west Ukraine, Vat
utin developed his main drive in
three prongs.
He was cleaning out the Berchi-
dev-Shepetovka railroad, pushing
southwestward In the direction Of
Vinnitsa and the Dniester, and clos
ing the trap on the Germans along
the west bank OF the Dnieper In
the Cherkasi area.
The Soviet press printed pictures
showing long columns Of prisoners
trudging eastward through the
SHOWS, still lightly clad.
Utter Rout
Dispatches cited statements on
the utter rout OF the Elite Panzer
IS and Adolf Hitler divisions, some
units suffering loses so high that
only six and eight survivors re-
manned from many armored COM
panies.
To the north the Baltic front
Army Of Gen. Ivan c. Bagramian
was assaulting Novoskolniki, the
junction Of the Leningrad-Polotsk
and Moscow-Riga railroads.
Red Star said that Newell, until
recently within easy artillery range
Of the Germans, now was far be-
hind the front line. The retreating
Germans were reported laying waste
the country they yielded, burning
all villages.
German broadcasts and news
dispatches indicated that further
retreats were contemplated. The
Nazi-controlled Scandinavian Tele-
graph bureau quoted a German mil
itary spokesman as saying that the
Nazi military command docs not
intend to keep Russian territoryoc-
cupied only for reasons of prestige
-. If the Germans should be forced
into total retreat from Russian soil,
this would be a secondary question
compared to whether the front had
been broken along the entire line.")
Advance IS Miles
In their first confirmed penetra-
ton Of pre-war Poland, the Soviets
advanced IS miles west of Olevsk,
seven miles east of the former bor-
der. and captured Rakitno, II miles
west Of the old frontier and only
260 miles from Warsaw.
The Russians took the high road
north of the Olvsk-Sarny railroad
through the Pripet marshes,
emerged from the marshes at Rak-
itno and swept on through a wide,
27-mile-long corridor toward the
highway and railroad junction Of
Sarny.
The fall of Sarny would widen

man northedn and southern fronts

Thirty miles to the south, another
Soviet column captured Gorodnitsa,

east Of Rovno (Rowne) province,

to that former Polish territory &C.

lies only as miles northeast Of
Rovno, German administrative
headquarters for the Ukraine.
Pincers Drive
Other elements Of the LIST Ukrain-
ian army facing Poland began a
pincers drive against the railway
junction Of Shepetovka, on the d.
rect line to Rovno and Warsaw.
The Russians completed the occu-
patton Of a 42-mile stretch of the
railway westward from Berdichev
with the capture of Miropol, &c
miles east Of Shepetovka, and sent
vanguards racing six miles to the
southwest in an attempt to outfiank
Shepetovka from the south while
another column swept down from
Novograd Volynski to The north
east.
The terrain west Of Shepetovka.

Zhaskov Seized

More than 5000 German officers

Priceless Asset"


Washington, Jan. 7-(UP)-Ah high
military aviation official said today
that the new jet-propelled Allied
fighter plane was q priceless asset"
for the Nays carrier-based aerial
operations and tremendous weap-
on in the coming battle Of Japan"
He said the enormous power Great
ed by Jet propulsion presented three
basic advantages that could contri-
butte greatly toward the development
OF new carrier based aircraft for the
Navy. These, he said, were better
and smoother take-offs, the use OF
smaller take-off area and lifting
power two or three times that of
conventional planes, thereby permit
ting greater bomb loads.
Furthermore, this official said, one
feature that has gpurred interna-
tional research on Jet type engines
was their relatively noiseleSs opera
ton. The loud roars which now en-
able the enemy TO detect an ap-
preaching flight OF planes miles
away would be missing in jet-pro-
PEELED planes, enablying them TO slip
almost noiselessly over the target
area.
Another recognized advantage OF
a jet-propeled craft, he said. was
maneuverability. The joint Anglo
American announcement disclosing
the new jet-propelled fighter craft
mentioned no specific characters
tics, but said they had been flown
successfully at "high attitudes and
extreme speed and all without a
single mishap."

With the Fifth Army at San Wit

house only 400 yards away, saw a
group Of Americans and a group OF
Germans stalking each other in q
deadly game of hide-and- seek.
From an observation post in an
1T ank gun emplacement,
watched drama filled episode In
the incredibly bloody battle for the
mountain village Of San Vittore, one
mile north of the valley road to
Rome.

with hand grenades, braved q MUIR

pumping a constant stream Of shells
into that part Of San Vittore where
the Germans were trying to stage O

On my left, I saw a long line Of
American tanks hurled into action

moving forward, belching fire ana
smoke as they advanced. A hail Of
enemy shells, moran and machine.
gun fire was pouring about them.
But they rolled on, like invincible
pill-boxes mounted on tractors.
Up ahead Of the tanks, o column
Of infantry was advancing cautious
ly toward the enemy lines. Despite
the heat Of action, they were chilled
by the sub-freezing weather, which
made 1t difficult Tor them to handle
their equipment. Through my field
glasses ! saw them blowing on their
fingers before firing their guns.
Overhead, airplanes Of the U. s.
18th army air force were everywhere,
strafing and bombing the enemy and
keeping the skies clean Of the Luft-
waite. A flight Of fighter bombers
dropped q string OF bombs into q
group Of German sun positions,
blowing the enemy guns to frag-
ments.

The reluctance of an FEC COM
