REDS SMASH ON TO NEW
 VICTORIES

Moscow, February IT. = (UP) = Russian troops ham, mered fanatically resisting German survivors deeper into the Cherkasi pocket with bayonets, rifle butts and grenades today as the battle of extermination against the encircled Eight Army reached the final hand d-to-hand stage.
 On the northwest front, Soviet spearheadS swept to within little more than 35 miles of Pskov, stra- tegic northern gateway to the Bal tic, in pursuit of fleeing German units. The enemy appeared to be in full retreat through the forests and lake country.
 Close-quarter fighting developed in the Cherkasi pocket in the cen- tral Ukraine as the Soviets' relent- less tightening of their ring of en- circlement robbed the German rem- nants of freedom to maneuver and forced them to stand almost back to back in fighting off Russian attacks from all sides.
 More than 2,500 Germans were killed yesterday in what may have been their last large-scale attempt to break through to their main forces to the south.
 Rescue Attempt
 Though the Russians threw back new rescue attempt, this time from the southeast, yesterday, front dispatches said the Germans were maintaining the rhythm of their counter attacks, rgardleSs of cost, in futile efforts to extricate the Cher kasi pocket survivors.
 The Communist organ Prav6a said Nazi infantry were thrustir ! against the Soviet lines with clock like regularity over fields covered with thousands of their dead felled in earlier attacks.
 The consumption of munitions by Russian machine-guns and artillery was reported so great that infantry men were drafted to carry ammuni- tion cases on their shoulders through the deep mud.
 Gen. Leonid A. Govorov's Lenin- grad armies were reported chopping up fleeing enemy units for piece meal annihilation along the eastern shorts of Lakes Peipus and Pskov in series of outfianking maneuvers.

Peace Nov" Movement Chased As '.Seditious"

Washington, February IT. - (UP) - The Dies Committee, accusing the peace now movement of inter- fering with the war effort by clearly seditious" activities tending toward treason, asked the Justice Department today to invoke sedition Investigations against leaders of the Pacifist organization.
 Representative Martin Dies, D, Texas, chairman of the Special House Committee investigating un- American activities, said he was turning over to the department a voluminous report charging the peace now movement, with heae- quarters in New York, of undermin- ing morale of the armed forces and playing into the hands of the Nad propaganda machine.

Dies did not identify the leaders against whom sedition inquiries would be asked but said he would request deportation proceedings against John Albert Collett, 32-year- old Norwegian Identified as . key figure in the movement.
 The Dies report said the organ izng committee of peace now, which rejects the unconditional surrender aims of the Allies and urges an immediate negotiated peace with the Axis countries, was led also by George W. Hartmann, chairman; Dorothy Hutchinson, associate edi- tor; Marjorie Ewbank, treasurer; and Bessie Simon, secretry.

 Neither friends nor foes of sub sidies expected the president to sign it. He vetoed similar subsidy ban last year and was able to win a compromise that retained some of he program. Administration forces hoped the same thing would happen igain but opponents pointed out that subsidies had been shouted down in both House and Senate by
