and domestic questions adopted by
the party's post war advisory
council in September h been
pigeon-holed, Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan, a council member,
said it is far from dead.
The senator, chairman of the
councils committee on foreign pol

at Mackinac Island. He said he
would call a meeting of mis- COM

The COP national committee will
meet Monday and Tuesday in Chi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 Up -
Amid reports that the Army is
moving to relieve troops in iso-
lated outposts, Senate Democrats
and Republicans joined today in
urging the establishment of fur
Tough system for battle-weary men
long overseas.
Senator Taft R.-Ohio) told a re-
porter he believed the War Depart
ment should make some provision
for short furloughs for men who
had seen at least two years of
foreign service. He suggested the
possibility of a rotation system
which would let one man out of
four in a designated unit come
home for month or more. On
his return, another would be given
leave.
Senator Radcliffe, D.-Md.) said
he too, felt tn arrangements
could be made for furloughs that
would not interfere with the war
effort.
Congress heard informally that
the Army already has acted to
replace many of it's garrisons in
Alaska, the Caribbean, Iceland and
other outposts in this hemisphere.

NEW RED OFFENSIVE
Russians Reported Fight

Poland

LONDON, Saturday, Jan. 8-A
A new Russian offensive in the
central Ukraine has broken
through five German divisions on
a 62-mile front, has surrounded the
Dnieper bend stronghold of Kirovo-
grad and today was nearing a link
with the unchecked northern Uk-
rainian drive, part of which was
now % miles inside the old Polish
border.
The new offensive by Gen. Ivan
S. Konev's Second Ukrainian Army

$4,000 Germans retreating in dis
order, abandoning their military
equipment and supplies, said the
Moscow midnight communique re-
corded by the Soviet monitor.
More than 100 towns and ham,

the first three days and netted
large numbers of prisoners from

This new drive was less than

Red army units on the lower rim
curled eastward to capture Rzhish-
chew on the middle Dnieper below
Kiev, linking with a long-e establish

Pereyaslav.
Berlin went even further than
Moscow and in broadcast by
Capt. Ludwig Sertorious said ''it
now appears as if Vatutin's left
wing has contacted units of Gen.
Konev's army eastward and south
ward of Belaya Tserkov."
If the two armies had not al

Vatutin's forces alone reported
