LONDON, Monday, Jan. 24-R-
Russian troops attacking below

no yesterday, threatening the
early capture of those towns
through which perhaps 100000
Germans must flee if they are to
escape destruction.
A Moscow midnight communique
said the Germans were III dis
orderly retreat at the tip of the
Tosno salient southeast of Lenin-
grad, and were unable to stem the
Soviet steamroller.
Far to the southeast the broad
cast bulletin, recorded by the So
Wet monitor, foreshadowed the
early liberation of the 50-mile
stretch of the Leningrad- Moscow
trunk line still held by the Ger
mans between Tosno and Chu-
dovo.
The Russians were declared to
have Hquidated the last major
German bridgehead on the east
bank of the Volkhov River in the
Cruzino area nine miles east of
Chudovo. North of Gruzino Gen.
K. A. MeretSkov's troops rolled
swiftly westward, topping town
after town on a 25-mile front.
These middle formations of
Meretskov' forces already were
far beyond the Volkhov in swift
drive west and southwest of
Kurishi, junction on secondary
Leningrad-Moscow railway, and
were striking close to the trunk
line with apparently little effec-
tive Nazi opposition.
The bulletin also told of a re-
sumption of Gen. Konstantine
Rokossovsky's push in lower White
Russia through the Pripet Marsh
es toward Pinsk. The Russians
there were now more than 81 miles
beyond MoZyar and were nearing
the old Polish border.

JAPS ARE DRIVEN
FROM POSITIONS
By LEONARD MILLIMAN
Associated Press War Editor

Panic stricken japanese soldiers
were driven from strongholds
along the Faria river in northeast
New Guinea by attacking Austral-
ians, Gen. Douglis Macarthur re-
ported today.
At the other extreme of the Pa
cific war front, snow covered Pa
ramushiro island, Japan's north
ernmost naval base, was bombed
twice yesterday by United States
Navy planes for the third and
fourth time in three days.
Four small Japanese freighters
we're sunk in the southwest Pa
cific, another cargo craft left in
flames, and a sixth hit.
The Aussies' renewed offensive
through the mountainous interior
of New Guinea is directed at the
Madang area into which japanese
reinforcements have been filter
ing. Captured positions at the head
of the Faria river in the Ramu
valley are within Is miles of b.
gadjim, nearest of the Madang
fortresses. Retreating japanese
left 100 dead.
On the other side of Madang,
strafing Allied planes left enemy
installations and occupied villages
in flames and destroyed five
bridges in the Uligan harbor area.
Naval bombers raiding the Ku-
rifle islands struck at installations
on the south and west coasts of
Paramushiro. Anti-aircraft fire
was their only opposition.
The stepped-up offensive against
the naval base was started Friday
morning by Catalinas striking in
the moonlight with the first at
tack on the south coast Ventures
hit the north shore.
All four flights returned INV
scathed. Paramushiro, 1000 miles
north of Tokyo, is an outpost
against possible invasion from
Alaska where the Tokyo press has
reported six divisions of Ameri-
can troops and 1000 planes have
been assemled.

quarters announced today, while
Axis broadcasts told of new land
ings along an 80-mile stretch from
the Tiber to the Gulf of Gaeta
just behind the Germans trans
Italian line.
The Vichy radio declared the AL
lies had landed at Terracina and
in the Gulf of Gaeta area direct
ly behind the German front. If
true, this represented an extern
sion of Allied landings southwark
from the points between the Tiber
estuary and the Nettuno and An
zio harbors where the Germans
yesterday reported the British and
Americans had stormed ashore.
Allied headquarters still had not
disclosed the location of the Al
lied beach-heads, but if troops had
been put ashore at all places men,
toned by the Nazi stations the AL
Lies were attacking at places all
along the German flank from the
Rome vicinity southwark. The I'll
Der mouth is 16 miles southwest
of Rome and Nettuno is 30 miles
below Rome.
The Allied command apparently
felt that the German confusion
caused by the operation was still
great, however, and despite the
enemy announcements, refused to
give any information on exact
whereabouts of the Allied combat
forces which might aid the enc
my in meeting the attacks.

reinforcements of men and sup

ITALIAN PEOPLE

Violent Demonstrations In
Industrial Cities Re-
ported

STOCKHOLM, Jan. %. - P -
The new Allied amphibious attack
south of Rome inspired the Italian
populace in northern Italy to vio-
lent demonstrations, particularly in
the industrial cities, dispatch
from the Swiss border to the Nor
gon Tidningen said today.
In Genoa two German officers
were killed during a skirmish and
the Germans, in quick reprisa1,
executed eight Italian youths and
locked up 20 more as hostages, the
dispatch added.
At the same time Berlin dis
patches from Swedish correspond
ents emphasized that German mill
tary chieftains were frankly wor-
ried by the new Allied attack
which opened a new front ideal
for operations of American and
British armored forces on the
plains leading to Rome.
The correspondents of the news
paper Dagens Nyheter said Ger
man military experts admitted the
Allied landing was a surprise to
them and the high command now
anticipates the possibility that the
Allies may handily consolidate
their extensive bridgehead.
Reserves have been rushed up
by the Germans to combat Fifth
Army troops pouring into the Net
tuno bridgehead but the surprise OF
the Allied thanking maneuver likely
will alter drastically the entire
Nazi defensive strategy in the bat
tie for Rome, other Berlin dis
patches said.
Swedish correspondents report
cd that Berlin military experts
were worried whether, in view OF
the terrific Allied air superiority,
the German command in Italy can
get its reserves into action in time
to save the situation.

Speaking against the second abb
sentee vote bill which the Senate
has been asked to consider in
eight weeks, Taft questioned le-
gality of the proposed procedure
and cautioned that if the fall cleo
ton results were sent to the
courts it would cause "the most
unfortunate uncertainty in time OF
war"
The measure, introduced by Sen
ator Lucas D-IlD, provides for
Federal ballot on which the uni
formed voters would write in their
choices for President, Senator and
Congressman, using the name OF
the candidate Or the name of the
party.
"There would be no opportunity
for the men to vote for state or
local officers" Taft objected.
'Since no names would appear at
all on the ballots. most Of the SOL
diers wouldn't know for whom
they were voting for Senator or
Congressman
The House, meanwhile, was get
ting ready to take up, probably on
Tuesday, an amended version of
the States rights soldier vote bill
which the Senate passed Dec. 8.
That measure would direct the
War and Navy Departments to ex-
pedite the transmission of State
and local absentee ballots by air.
mail to the absent servicemen.
Secretary of War Stimson OBJ
jected vigorously yesterday to CIV
ing ballots precedence over SOL
diers' mail on the planes.
Lucas contended the system
would be impossible to administer
and hastily formulated "com-
promise proposal, which now has
reached the Senate calendar.
Taft said the new bill was mo
compromise at ALL" since it re-
tanned the Federal ballot
Rep. Rankin D-Miss), co-au-
thor of the House measure, said in

objection would apply with far
greater force to the procedure
proposed in the Lucas bill.
