 Remnants of the battered German army in the Battles faced the threat of being chopped into three parts, while the Soviet'S use of bases in southern Finland under newly announced armiStice terms virtually precluded a Dunkerque flight over the North Sea.

 (The German high command said that "at Warsaw the Russians, under cover of fog screens. tried 10 storm across the Vistula at several places, While claiming that the crossing attempts were thwarted. the Aad communioue said several fighting groups which reached the western bank were cut off"-indi- eating that they had seized a foot- hold across the river)

eminent owned Kramer Homes in
Center Line, being held in the town
hall, has been adjourned until
Nov. 2S
Michael Martone, manager OF the

Martone further stated, since
the rule went into effect, 200 of
the 500 tenants had disposed of
their dogs. Scofeld and eight
others are awaiting the court de-
ciSion, despite persistent warnings
for six months, Martone said.
Between $50 and 200 residents
