Cernauti, most important COM
munications center west of the Prut
and south of Old Poland, fell to
Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's First
Army Of the Ukraine, which sent
another spearhead careening
through Kolmyja, 48 miles to the
northwest, within 80 miles of Hun
gary.
A Moscow dispatch following by a
day a Russian warning to Rumania
and Bulgaria to break with the Nazis
or suffer Germany's eventual fate
said that there is little question
the RumarianS are knocking heads
together seeking an answer how
to get out of the war;"
Naxi Debacle
The extent of the NaI debacle
on the southern front was reflected
in the communique reporting the
loss Of Cernauti. 1t said the Ger
mans had "disengaged themselves"
from the Lower Bug after the fall
of Nikolaev at its mouth, that "bit-
ter fighting with changing fortunes"
continued IN the western Ukraine
and that he Tarnopol garrison was
beating of concentric Soviet at
tacks.
Moscow dispatches pointed out
that from Cernauti the Red Army
viii be able to flank the entire series
of NaA positions along the Prut.
And from there 1t can cut the whole
northern escape channel Of the
Germans. The Cernauti and Kol-
myja sprtngboards were ideal for a
drive into the eastern tip Of old
Czechosloviakia.
Zhukov's forces broke into the
northern and western outskirts OF
Cernauti yesterday after storming
across the upper Prut at two points.

The earlier case was dismissed when
the two internees returned to the
mainland and were released.
The fine later was set aside.
Many Jap Aliens
In written arguments for contin-
uence of martial law and suspension
of the write, attorneys representing
Kahanmoku said information from
military authorities showed more
than $4,000 out of Hawaii's total
civilian population of 4s5,000 were
japanese aliens.
The total population includes, the
arguments said, $4,000 American
citizens of Japanese ancestry of
which $1,000 were dual citizens as
they were born in the United States
and still were japanese. nationals.
The attorneys pointed out that "a
number Of these persons are known
to be loyal to Japan and are thus
dangerous to the United States. A
number are interned."
Attorneys representing Kahan-
moku include, Edward J. Ennis, spe-
cial assistant for Attorney, General
Francis Biddle and 1t. Col, william
J. Hughes who recently arrived from
Washington to represent the War
Department. Ennis had participated
in the habeas corpus dispute last

Yards Damaged
American Liberators were believed
to have damaged the railway yards
at Milan, Italy's second largest city,
SO severely that rail traffic through
that communications hub was i'm
possible.
Reconnaissance photogr aphers
showed two thirds of the Milan
railway yards covered with at least
100 bomb craterS. Over 200 railway
cars were destroyed and many
more damaged. Two hits were scored
on a large freight trans-shipment
shed and nearby industrial build
ings were left in flames.
Flying Fortresses were credited
with blocking at least temporarily
the railway yards at the industrial
center of Turin, where warehouses
and the Fiat MirafioH Aircrafe En-
CINE Works were set afire.
Another strong formation Of Lib
orators blasted railway yards at
Bolzano, probably cutting at least
temporarily Germany's vital Bren-
ner Pass supply line just below the
Italian border.

faction is seated at the national
convention, We shall insist upon a
