Aussie Tanks Drive
Japs Back, Almost
Huon Area
Borges Believed Trying
To Evocuute New Guine,
Troops Are Blasted
By the Associated Press.


ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, New Guinea, Jan
12.-Complete control of the
Huon Peninsula on Northeast
New Guinea was in sight for the
Allies today. Australians de-
feated the japanese in a tank
and artillery action there which
ended with the victors crossing
the Burr River on the coast.
The japanese, finding their posi-
tion more and more untenable as
the Australians force them up the
coast toward American invasion
troops at Saidor, stanchly resisted
the Aussies, but finally gave way be-
fore the tanks, leaving their dead
on the field.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
munique reporting the Australian
victory also told of Allied air action
against enemy barges and supply
points along the New Guinea coast
from Cali village north to Uligan
Many barges, some of them bearing
troops which the Japanese may be
attempting to evacuate from the Al
lied nutcracker, have been destroyed
in recent days.
Allies Bomb Bogadjim.
The Allied campaign to clear Huon
Peninsula started soon after the fall
of Lac, on the southwest shore, Sep
tember 16. While one force of Aus
tralians drove around the coast, an
other battled its way northward in
land, through the valleys of the
Markham and Ramu Rivers. The
inland force is nearing Bogadjim
energy supply point on the coas1
about 20 miles south of the larger
japanese base at Madang.
Below Madang, and around sc
miles from the Australians who
crossed the Bari River, are the
Americans at Saidor.

MOSCOW, Jan. 12.-In the
face of German counterattacks
the Russians kept up their ad-
vances today in the Western
Ukraine and north and south
of the rail city of Sarny, where
the Red Army is pushing west
ward.
After cutting the north-south rail-
road through the Pripet Marshes at
points 7 miles north and south OF
Sarny, the Russians were Just rs
miles short of being halfway between
Kiev and Warsaw.
tThe dispatch suggested the
Russians plunging through old
Poland were by-passing Sarny,
80 miles inside the prewar FROM
tier. Besides the troops north
and south of the city, other Rus
slams last were reported S miles
east of Sarny)
"On many sectors, offensive battles
were assuming a more violent char
acter," the army newspaper Red
Star said, "the enemy has intro
duced new units to complete his
defeated infantry and tank divi-
sions."
Threat to Railroad Increases.
Other Russian columns advancing
toward Rumania increased their
threat to the Odessa Warsaw Rail-
road.
In the Upper Dnieper Bend sector
the Germans by hard fighting and
heavy losses still were holding open
their narrow escape corridor from
the Smela- -Kanev area, where they
were being squeezed between the
lst and I'd Ukrainian Armies. No
Russian report suggested a German
withdrawal, although the peril to
the Nazis increased every hour.
At no point, Red Star said, was
the enemy able to stop the Soviet
drive, despite the heavy weight of
armor thrown into the battle.
Furious tank charges against
troops of Gen. Nikolai Vatutin ap-
preaching the Odessa Warsaw rail-
way were beaten back, Red Star
said, with guerrilla detachments
lending valuable aid to the Soviet
Regulars. The Germans also were
reported launching fierce counter
assaults south and southwest of Ber-
dichev, but these, too, were smashed,
Red Star added.
From inside the Dnieper bend
where huge concentrations of Ger
man troops face encirclement by the
forces led by Gen. Vatutin and Gen.
Ivan S. Konev, enemy resistance
also was increasing, Red Star re-
ported.
These German counterattacks
were not surprising, it was pointed
out, as there have been recurring
reports of heavy German reinfoce-
ments being pushed to the front as
the situation became more and more
dangerous.
Threatened With Disaster.
The Nazis. it was said, must con-
tinue their resistance, no matter the
cost, in order to avoid a major CAL
amity not only in the Dnieper bend
but as far west as Odessa.
The war already is being brought
closer to Rumania as Gen. Vatu-
tins troops continue their march
down the Ukrainian steppes towarc
the Odessa railway, thus threaten.
ing to throw the Germans back on
the resources of that satellite ma
ton.
The Nazis, dispatches said, have
been able to bring in reserves in
divisional strength, despite their re-
verses of the last two weeks, and
these fresh units have taken up the
fight under new commanders who
have been rushed to the front to try
and halt the Red Army offensive.

Sponsors Of proposals to continue
the Farm Security Administration

These programs, like the FSA and

kept in operation from year to year
by providing funds in the Agricul-
ture Department appropriations bill.
This year, the House, where oppo-
sition to the FSA's rural rehabilita-

stronger than in the Senate, refused
to appropriate for any agency not
authorized by specific legislation.
