along precarious lines, begging down in swalnps and slushy forests and pounded by Russian planes and artillery.
 All but overshadowed by the sen Sational developments on the northern front, one of the most significant battles of the winter campaign was raging in the Vim nitSa region of the Ukraine. There the Germans were sparing neither men nor machines in desperate effort to hold the approaches to the Dniester.
 Battle Of Attrition
 The battle of attrition was in its third week, with every reason to believe the history of Belgorod, Kursk and zhitomir will be repeat ed-that the Russians will bleed the Nazis white, then throw in ad- ditional strength to resume their march toward the Balkans.
 A Pravda dispatch said dozens of German divisions shifted from other fronts are attacking cease lessly east of Vinnitsa. They were suffering enormous" losses while failing to dent the Soviet positions, the dispatch added.
 In one sector Soviet tanks sup ported by artillery and tommy gunners broke through the German lines in a bold maneuver and straddled an important highway, Pravda reported.
 GA Nazi Paris broadcast heard by the Exchange Telegraph Agency in London said that the Russians had broken into the northern part of Kerch at the esatern end of the Crimea. Heavy fighting was under way and the situation was confused the broadcast said)
 The 14th day of the offensive on the northwestern front found the Germans rolled back 32 miles south west, 26 miles south and 28 miles southeast of Leningrad with the enemy siege broken beyond repair. In the first 12 days alone, the So- viet high command reported, 4O,- 900 Germans had been killed and 5000 captured. Ten enemy divi- SlOnS-loU,UOO men-Were dlSperSed and heavy losses inflicted on two others.
 TOSn0 Nearly Isolated
 General Kyril A. Keretskov all but isolated both Tosno, 40 miles southeast of Leningrad on the main railway to Moscow, and Chudovo, 28 miles farther along the line, with the capture of a number of inter mediate stations along the line.
 These included Ushaki, seven miles southeast of Tosno; Ryabovo F miles southeast, and Ratsy, r miles southeast. Nearly 1000 Ger mans were slain in fighting along the railway and in one sector, So- viet tommy gunners on skis pene- trated the enemy rear and smashed staff quarters on an enemy unit.
 KrasnogvardeiSk, junction of rail- ways radiating to Leningrad, Es- tonia, Pskov and Tosno, fell yester- day after embittered street fighting in which the Russians cleared the Germans from scores of individudal reinforced concrete forts.
 Several thousand Germans were killed and the remnants escaped

only by discarding their weapons Pressing on in pursuit, the Soviets captured number of additional villages south and southwest of Krasnogvardeisk.
 Medniko Seized
 The weSternmoSt of Gen. Leonid A. Govorov's armies seized Medniko g miles west of Krasnogvardeisk and only AZ miles from Estonia.
 The westernmost of Gen. Leonid A. Govorov's armies seized Medniko g miles west of Krasnogvardeisk and only A miles from Estonia.
 On the southern flank of the Ger man bulge below Leningrad, the Russians drove 25 miles southwest of Novogrod and captured Golino only three miles north of the inn portant highway and railway junc- tton of Shimsk, in paparent prepa- ration for an assault from the rear of Staraya Russia.
 Meretskov's forces also took Lyub- olyady, IT miles west northwest of Novgorod, after killing 1900 Ger mans in heavy fighting Numerous prisoners were captured. A German officer told his captorS that his di- vision had been routed completely with small groups of survivors dis persing into the woods.
 German counter attacks east of Vinnitsa and north of KhriStinovka in the Dnieper bend continued with out success. More than 100 German tanks mad self-propeled guns were knocked out in one day-long battle.

 The table of February values showed:

 2. Veal, lamb and mutton up one to two points with veal shoulder chops, round steak and shoulder zoneleSs roasts up three.
 3. Cheddar and cream cheese up two points and Swiss, munster and other similar cheeses uIp four points.

 This presumably would place him third behind Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and Wendell l. Willkie. They be- lieve Dewey and Willkie are likely to deadlock whereupon Macarthur might emerge as a compromise can dldate since he is likely to have considerable second choice strength among both Dewey and Willkie sup porters.
 Campaign Responsibility
 '1f nominated, it is believed Mac Arthur might accept by cable, ex- blaming that his job of beating the Japs was too important to permit him to campaign. The campaign would be the responsibility of party leaders at home with the general tossing in an occasional radio speech or public statement
 The report continues that in some quarters here" there is a suggestion that Macarthur might be nominated for vice president on a ticket headed by Dewey.
 But 1t is felt" according to this report, "that the general probably would not be receptive to such sug- gestions and would scorn any pre- convention deal with Dewey, Wiilkie or any other candidate. But whether he actually would refuse the vice presidency should the con- vention offer it is entirely unknown. Such ticket might be as attractive as anything the Republicans could offer, especially if the presidential nominee announced that he planned to let MacArthur handle the job of winning the war.

 Also, 1t said, furnishing of the place was suspended for the pres ent because of high costs, a limited supply of necessary articles. A shortage of essential material, and the need of time to explore the possibility of gifts from citizens.
