MOSCOW, March 81. (UP)--
Marshal Ivan S. Konev drove Soviet
spearheads through Bessarabia to
within 35 miles of the Rumanian
frontier Tuesday. and the govern
ment organ Izvestia said that
smashed German regiments are
retreating across Rumania.
Since the Soviets regard Bessar-
abba as a part of Russia, the Izves-
tia report of Nazi retreat "across
Rumania" apparently meant that
the Germans are pulling back be-
yond the Prut river, the boundary
between Rumania and BesSarabia.
AS the second army of the Ukraine
poured into Bessarabia on front
more than so miles wide, the off,
cial Soviet army journal Red Star
proclaimed jubilantly:

is spreading like a spring flood

Civilians Slated
For Less Foods

WASHINGTON, March 81 tUPl
Civilians are scheduled to get two
per cent less food this year than in
1943, but may actually find them
selves eating just as heartily, testi-
mony before house appropriations
subcommittee disclosed Tuesday.
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones said civilians 'probably'
would get only 73 per cent of the
total food output IN 1914, compared
with rs per cent last year.
However. he said that production
goals calling for four per cent
more acreage in crops this year
would, under favorable weather
conditions, cause a comparable in
crease in the overall food supply
with the result that 73 per cent this
year may actually be more than IS
per cent last year
