ly Reelected him ma ajority lead
er, post he resigned after
castigating President Roosevelt's
veto of the tax bill. The Ken
tuckian accepted their decision.
In one of the most dramatic ses-
sions in Senate history, the Demo-
cratic caucus thus supported Sem
ator Barkley in his declaration of
Congressional independence, for he
had urged the Senate in his speech
yesterday to override Mr.. Roosevelt S
veto.
The Kentuckian's revolt against
the White House and his subsequent
support by his colleagues spurred
speculation as to its effect on this
years elections. Some anti-New
Deal Democrats forecast that it
would seriously hamper the Pres
ident's nomination for fourth term
Mr.. Roosevelt's supporters, on the
other hand, minimized the split as
something that would be forgotten
soon.

ceive Senator Barkley's resignation

Patrol actions and sharp ex-

of the beachhead. Allied shells
apparently hit German munitions
or gasoline dumps in the mountains
northwest of Casino. Explosions
were observed in three places.
Although sharp fighting occurred
at some points on the beachhead
and enemy movements suggested

regrouping his forces for a third
attempt to drive the Allies into the
sea, the German high command
did not commit any sizable forces
to action yesterday and no ground

LONDON, Feb. 24.-RusSian
and German troops are fighting
a bitter hand-to-hand battle in
the streets of Dno for possession
of that last important Nazi base
east of the Baltic gateway city
of Pskov, a Soviet communique
said today.
Pskov itself, 81 miles west of Dno
was threatened from two other
directions by Soviet forces driving
down from Strugi Krashoye, "A miles
to the northeast, and from the
frozen marsh and forest country to
the northwest, where troops of Gen
Leonid A. Govorov's Leningrad
Army last were reported Is miles
away.
Strugi Krashoye, town on the
Leningrad-Pskov trunk railway, and
80 other localities were captured
yesterday by Govorov's left wing,
the Moscow bulletin said. Gen. K. A.
Meretskov's Volkhov army smashed
westward along the Staraya Russa-
Pskov railway for 10 miles to breach
the defenses of Dno, liberating more
than $50 hamlets. One force, the
Russians said, cleared a portion of
the Leningrad-Vitebsk railway
northeast of the junction while
other units reached Semenovshchina
"a miles from Dno.
More than $500 Germans were
killed on the North Russian front,
Moscow declared, adding that many
German officers and men were taken
prisoner"
The German high command ac-
knowledged Soviet advances in the
north. saying that ''in the northern
sector of the eastern front our de-
taching movements southwest and
west of Lake linen were continued
according to plan"
West and northwest of Krivoi
Rog, iron mine center in the
Dnieper bend far to the south,
troops of Gen. Rodion Y. Malinov-
sky's Sd Ukrainian Army wiped out
5000 Germans and captured several
Nazi-held communities, the Rus
sian communique reported, as they
pushed on toward the Bug River.
Here, it appeared, Nazi Marshal
Fritz Won Mannstein might elect to
make stand against the Soviet
drive on the approaches to Ru-
