Russian Front

The campaign on the Russian front,
which now centers largely on battle
for strategic rail lines, is going excep-
tionally we'll for the Allied cause, and
large groups of Nazi and satellite forces
are rapidly approaching a situation
which is precarious and will call for all
the famed German skill at retreat if
large numbers of the enemy are not
trapped and forced to surrender. Most
of the rail lines between the Bug and
Dnieper Rivers are now in Russian
possession or under menace of immi-
nent severance.
Vinnitsa, main railroad center, which
is the control point of all German rail
communications to the forces still in
the Dnieper bend, was brought within
threateningly short distance as long
ago as last Monday, when one spear
point of Gen. Vatutin's 1st Ukranian
Army drove within Is miles of the Bug
River, beyond which Vinnitsa lies.
Other units to the south, pushing
through the Smela Gap, were moving
into position to close a sack trapping
the Nazis who still clung to Smela and
Kanev, on the Dnieper.
Still other units drove for Sarny, i'm
portant railroad center in Poland.
which, with Dombrovitsa to the north
west, were prime objectives in the cam
paign of entrapment of Marshal Mann
STEMS troops now seeking to cling to
positions in the frozen Pripet Marshes.
Tuesday advance units reached the
bank of the Bug River near Zhmerinka,
which is on the vital Odessa to- Warsaw
railroad, severance of which will be a
severe blow to the Nazis.
Capture of Sarny was reported We'd
nesday and, quickly expanding the
break-through to a width of so miles,
Vatutin's- troops began to move west
ward toward Kovel on the railroad to
Warsaw, and northward behind the
Pripet Marshes toward Pinsk, which
also was under threat of attack from
Russians moving along the rail line
leading from Gomel through Kahn
kovichi toward Pinsk
BY Friday heavy artillery was pound
ing the defenses of Kalinkovichi and
Mozyr, which had been outf1anked,
while the force seeking to capture Kovel
moved forward after breaking out of
the marshes and reaching point only
95 miles from the Curzon line
German losses in men and equipment
continued heavy all week, and the de-
mands on German reserves grew in
their urgency.

bang as Cleveland East topped
Youngstown 52-26; Lorail thum
ped Cleveland West SOFA and
Salem downed Farrell 1872. The
East-l oungstown game was the
best contest of the week and both
teams battled hard. Bill" Simo
mis- scored more points for East
(2S) than did all OF the Noungs-
town team though tbe score was
close throughout. The Noungs-
town team all aided in the scor-
ing and served notice to the other
teams that they would contend
ers for the toga. K. Bretz and +.
Schullcr stood out for the losers
with their all-around play. The
new Salem team proved that it
would be a power to be considered
as it handily downed Farrell at
Salem. The home team never gave
the Penn. team a chance as il
went into the lead at the very
start and kept in front throughout
the game. Andy Ham and Andy
Flip paced the Ouakers with 20
and II points respectively. Seech
for Farrell played a bang up floor
game and scored IS points. Lo-
rain mythical champs OF the pre-
vious year, again showed that it
had powerful team by easily dis
posing of Cleveland West at Lo-
rain. The "Tornado Towners
jumped into the lead at the very
start and kept building it up over

Andy Ham and Les Older led

game was close throughout and
was only decided in the last mi,

of the whole team stood out. (l
can remember how badly the
young team from New Castle felt
after the game and they were told
chat they would have good
team after getting few years
experience and what a team they
had two years later.) The final
score of the. boys was 52-l6: The

in love with his wife but
he the howlingest wolf
in Hollywood. He was never faithful TO her in any
given az hours the calendar.
But when she came 10 Reno and sued for di-
vorce, he came up here and in my office begged
her on his knees not to leave him. He fought the
divorce tooth and nail. When he came up from
Hollywood, he'd sit in my office and cry like
baby, and they weren't crocodile tears either.
Then he'd take the night plane back TO Holly

before my office had dried out from his tears"
II HEN there are the worst pests of all: The women

who tries TO ride herd on his offspring.
But too often they come out accompanied only

as II did with an eastern hCircss who took her

This is wry diagnosis of the goings-on Of the
women who are Renos problem children while In
residence here. But it is also the distilled wisdom
of of Reno's most experienced and mellow
attorneys.
No matter what their age, or their social and
financial background, these are the women who

and who pick up any man in sight. handful are

less work." this same attorney continued
Then there is the largest percentage of women
who come TO Reno for a divorce and fling be-
tween marriages.
ITS funny thing my friend added but I've
seen hundreds OF what you and would call tech
ncally nice women come out here for divorce
in order 10 marry some other man TO whom they're
already engaged back home.
But in week or ten days they'll pick up with
some local saloon bum and become involved here.
And il occurs to them that they're cheating
on the husbands they haven't divorced yet" con-

town. is the father confessor of his takave clients
The only thing that worries them in the least
Is that they're cheating on their fiances. Women
DO have the most curious ethical concepts"
From the purely feminine point of view il oc-
CURED TO me that il could be pointed out in
buttal that some men have equally odd ethical
concepts. Particularly the man from Hollywood
whose experiences this attorney had just told me.
