Movement Cooperates
With Russian Drive to
Trap Enemy in Balkans
LONDON, Oct. 5. (AP)
The Ankara radio said to
night that the Germans were
evacuating the Greek capi
tal of Athens and the Pelo
ponnesus peninsula and were
moving northward as rapidly
as blown up bridges and
roads blocks would permit.
ROME, Oct. 5 (AP) Striking
from thp sea and air, British
troops have landed in westprn
Greece, entered the nort of Pat
rnl and seized airfields from
which RAF Spitfires already are
operating in support of the ef
fort to drive out or destroy Ger
man garrisons.
The allied command, announc
ing the invasion today, said land
ing forces had made contact with
the enemy bolh in Greece and
neighboring southern Albania,
where other units went ashore
ton days ago.
There appeared n strong possi
bility the operations would end
German rule throughout the Bal
kans. (Reliable reports reaching Cai

out demolitions in the Corinth
canal to block British movement
toward Corinth and to form a
large obstacle for forces proceed

!r the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE American First army's
drive into the Siegfried line
defenses north of Aachen is the
hot spot of the war news as this
is written.
Dispatches from the front say
it has broken through the FIRST
HEAVY CRUST of westwall for
tifications and fought its way four
miles forward from the jump-off
point.
(In this kind of fighting, four
miles is a pretty good gain.)
IOTE the reference to the "first
heavy crust." The Siegfried
(uvstwall) line isn't j"t one
solid wall. The modern idea is
"defense in depth," which means
that when one line is broken
through another (probably not
so strong) is encountered.
An enemy defense line isn't
successfully passed until we have
BROKEN CLEAR THROUGH all
these successive defenses. (We
had already dented the line south
of Aachen and will probably try
to join these bulges and sur
round the city.)
THE British are reported to be
massing infantry at the tip
of the Nijmegen corridor for a
heavy blow south of Arnhem. The
German lines here have been
heavily bombed, which is apt to
he a prelude to a ground attack.
THE week's most dramatic news
is the announcement by Gen
eral Bor (Tadeusz Komorowski)
that Poles in Warsaw have ceased
all resistance some of them
surrendering and some fighting
their way across the Vistula to

Second Smash
(By the Associated Press)
Tokyo radio indicated today
tnat allied Bombers are wasting
no time in their long distance
campaign to Knock out the vital
oil producing center at Balikpa
pan, Borneo.
A Domei (news) agency broad
cast reported w Bombers struck
Tuesday in the second mass raid
at Balikpapan. Sixty Liberators
struck the first heavy blow three
days previously. Only yesterday
MacArthur promised this impor

aviation gasoline would be pound

pan's ability to fight in the air
or on the sea.
Heavy shipping losses have al

resources and forced development
of synthetic substitutes.
American submarines continu
ing their daring but unpublicized
forays into Japan's shipping life
lines have destroyed another 11
enemy vessels, the navy announc
ed today. The newest sinkings in
cluded a destroyer, an escort
craft, seaplane tender, cable ship,
a tanker and six car"o vessels,
bringing to 924 the total of Nip
ponese ships sunk, probably sunk
or damaged, all by Yank under
sea craft .
Another tanker was among 11
Japanese ships sunk or badly
damaged in new air strikes rang
ing from the southern approaches
to the Philippines to Chichi island,
615 miles south of Tokyo. The
others were mostly small freight

Shipping losses have forced
curtailment of importation of rice,
the imperial agricultural admin

ports 20 per cent of its rice, the
country's basic food.
However, Tokyo announced a
"great leap" in munitions pro
duction and increased output of
airplanes, estimated by American
sources at more than 1,400 a
