Soviet Attacks

BY DANIEL DE LUCE


MOSCOW, Sept. 26 - (P) -
Russia's powerful mort er n
armies hammered the final
small pocket of German resist
ance in Estonia today and began
organizing an assault on two key
islands guarding the Baltic sea
approaches to Riga, the beSieged
capital of Latvia.
The Islands-Ristna and Osel
dominate the entrances to the
Gulf of Riga, to the southeast,
and the Gulf of Finland, to the
northeast. Lying some six miles
off Estonia's west coast, they
could be bypassed indefinitely
by the Russians, but as long as
enemy garrisons remain there
will have certain nuisance
value.
On the west coast of the Es-
tonian mainland, Marshal Leo
mid A. Govorov's Leningrad
army has now captured all i'm
portant ports except Virtsu. A
communique last night an
nounced the fall of Haapsalu, Es-
tomas third port, So miles
southwest of Tallinn. The Sow
let forces also hold Parnu, on
the southwest coast.
(There were several indica-
tons that the Soviet Baltic fleet
was joining in the battle to re-
duce the Estonian Islands. An
official announcement two days
ago said Soviet naval forces had
captured the seaport of Paldiski,
midway between Tallinn and
HaapSalu.

Jail fare, returned to the sanctuary
Of their family circles tonight to end

ing stories and singing and swapped
good-natured banter with eight
more permanent Jail residents who
loudly complained the disturbance
did not conform to proper Jail

German Newspapers
Show Little Effect Of
Material Shortages
BY the Associated Press.

oy tIe hSSoCldteQ fIeSS.
LISBON, Jan. 15.-Dispatches con-
cerning newspaper shortages in the
United States have provoked puzzle
ment here as to how the Germans
still manage to publish so many
newspapers on the continent of
Europe.
All apparently are getting a fairly
good quality of newsprint.
Dailies from bomb shattered Ber-
lin arrive in Lisbon looking much
the same as they did in 1899
Voelkischer Beobachter, six pages;
Boersen-zeitung, eight; Der Angriff,
six, the latter with its customary
two-color front page and numerous
newsphotos.
More remarkable, however, is the
number of newspapers appearing at
widespread points in occupied and
satellite countries even in such
places as Minsk, close to the Russian
front.
Paris Paper Greatly Reduced.
However, this applies mostly to
German-language papers. Bucharest
dailies published in the Rumanian
language look war-Weary on shabby
stock. In Paris the once prosperous
Paris Soir lately has been reduced to
a single sheet of tabloid size with the
printing scarcely legible.
The Pariser Zeitung, however,
which is printed in German with
supplemental pages in French, ap-
pears in eight full-size pages.
An indication that the Nazis have
been throttling the book publishing
industry in order to maintain
paper supply for propaganda peri
odicals and newspapers is seen in
the textbook shortage in schools and
universities.
Expected to Keep Up Appearances.
The German press this week pub
lished regulations aiming toward an
equitable distribution of available
scientific, technical and medical
textbooks among students who need
them.
Such shortage of vitality needed
books contrasting with the abun-
dance of propaganda publications
suggests the Nazis will maintain a
front of important newspapers and
periodicals as long as any paper
ink and printing plants remain.
Those whose memories 90 back to
the World War may recall that
some of the most luxurious issues Of
certain German magazines appeared
in October, 1918, creating an i'm
preston in the mind of the casual
reader elsewhere in Europe that
Germany still was at the peak of
production. A few weeks later, how
ever, came the armistice.
