Th OEEGON STATESMAN. Zclmxu Ongoo; Wodnoadar Morning. Tbcuarf 25. 1942 PAG2 THTJ2 J; ) ' i By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Wide World War Analyst For The Statesman Russian reports of recapture of Dorogobuzh on the Smolensk main front could forecast collapse of the nazi winter line in Rus sia on a wide and critical central sector. With Dorogobuzh, on the headwaters of the Dnieper 50 miles east of Smolensk, again in Rus sian hands, the westward escape route for German forces still holding both the Vyazma and Rzhev pivots is flanked from the south. The town lies about 15 miles south of the Smolensk-Vy-aima-Moscow rail and road sys tem. It is west of the naturally strong defensive position about midway between Smolensk and Vyazma formed by the confluence of the Dnieper and Vopeth riv ers. Those two streams, and their tributaries form a wide 50 -mile lonr barrier spanning the Smo-lensk-Vyaxma road from north to south which powerfully bol stered the defense of Smolensk on the east Presumably the Russian attack which retook Dorogobuzh came up the road from Elnya, 25 miles to the south. At Dorogobuzh it has not only turned the flank of the Dnieper-Vopeth line, but is in a 'position to strike due west to- ward Smolensk itself along a - direct route. That road crosses the Smo - lensk-Vyazma communication system 15 miles east of Smolensk to approach that main nazi cen ter from the northeast. Red army forces at Dorogobuzh therefore menace nazi communications with German advance units in Vyazma and east of that junction as well as the garrison of Rus sian-besieged Rzhev. Recapture of the village of Panina just northeast of Rzhev Is also reported from Moscow. There are Russian forces al ready far west of Rzhev on the Velikie Luki-Rzhev railroad, and also astride the Rzhev-Vy-azma railroad south of that up per Volga junction town. Its case seems desperate and its fall only a matter of time. Dorogobuzh represents a far more important Russian success, however. Its recapture brought Russian forces within gun range of the only supply route of Ger man troops still in the huge Vy azma bulge. They are in grave danger of complete entrapment as heavy Russian forces were entrapped in the German surge toward Moscow last fall in the same area. Lost Jewels I. I. N.
