Sir Bernard L. Montgom ery's eighth army further consoli dated its positions on high ground overlooking the Sangro river near vhere it empties into the Adriatic and occupied the towns of Castig jione, Caro villi and Forli to put the main lateral road inland from Vasto completely under allied con trol. Daniel De Luce, Associated JPress correspondent with the eighth army, described the fight ing on that front: "In cold, stinging rain men of the eighth army scooped out ma chine gun pits in hillside groves, wrestled artillery through wallows and fanned out grimly in offen sive patrols. "Blood River is what the forward troops call the shal low, sluggish stream that Italian maps mark as Flume Sangro. Its b'road basin is studded with hid sfen mines. Enemy firepower is ;rnassed effectively at possible fords." I I After the capture of San Salvo by Montgomery's troops last week. Xe Luce said "burned wrecks of Sherman (American-built) tanks lie among San Salvo's olive trees. 'where the low-slung enemy self- propelled artillery fought at al zriost point-blank range." He de scribed the Sangro las an "over grown creek." but said it was a formidable military obstacle. :' In yesterday's advance the , eighth army reported encounter- jlng 45 major demolitions. The push took them through a dozen villages. Including MaceronaV Val- lepJccoIa, - Koccasicura, Montalto, Monticello and Sebiana.

It is 33 miles southeast of Zhitomir, and 66 miles from Kiev. Rain, cold and fog failed to halt the Russian drive, which also reached south to Vasilev, 33 miles below Kiev- and" only 20 miles northeast of the rail city of Bye laya Tserkov. The Germans admitted with drawals in the Kiev area and on nazi reported broadcast in a de scription of the fighting that "all hell broke loose.' In the Crimea, where the Russians apparently are girdinc f r a major drive, soviet ma rines, supported by fighter planes, smashed back German tanks thrown arainst the Rus sian beachheads on the Kerch peninsula. The Moscow radio said the Russians gained ground as thousands of Germans died In an unsuccessful ceunter-at- tack. - In the narrow Kerch strait Ger man torpedo launches .sought to halt boats and launches bringing in Russian reinforcements. Red army planes and heavy guns sank two German torpedo launches, a patrol cutter and a high speed landing barge. There was heavy fighting in the Nevel area, where Russian spear heads were approximately 50 miles from the Latvian border. The Russians moved on through minefields and barbed wire to capture several strongly fortified areas, beating off five counter attacks and wiping out a German battalion. Over 600 Germans were killed in another sector. The fighting in the Kiev area saw the most important Russian gains. As the Russians drew near to Korosten and Zhitomir German resistance was expect ed to stiffen, for these points control railroads running into Poland. At Korosten a Russian success would capture the last north-south railway line snort of Poland carrying troops and supplies between the northern and southern sectors of the Ger man front. The German reporter Lothar Schurz, in a Berlin radio broad cast, described a visit to the Kiev ector with the echo of Russian cguns still ringing in his ears. "It is the concentrated fire of rtwo artillery divisions and one grenade thrower division consist ing entirely of salvo guns, he said. "This may be estimated "to represent at least 500 barrels con centrated on the narrowest space -Mme barrel for each 20 yards. Nelson to Ease Production Civilian Goods D (Continued from Page 1) D had already started meetings with procurement officials looking to a solution to the problems of con tract termination, reconversion of plants to civilian production and removal of government equip ment.. "The government has a strong moral responsibility" for protect ing subcontractors against loss, Nelson added in recommending establishment of a central agency to adjust differences between prime and subcontractors. - Direct government loans may be advisable to provide working funds for subcontractors whose contracts have been cancelled, the WPB chief asserted. Earl Bushnell Protests Fence City Building Inspector Earl C Bushnell, who, with the city coun cil's approval, issued the building permit under which Philip Stein bock commenced construction of the much-discussed high board fence around his "salvage depot" property on Water street, Wednes day became private prosecutor in the city's case against Steinbock which charges the metal scrap dealer with violation of the Sa lem building code. The case comes to hearing Fri day morning before City Record er Alfred MundL Authority to Bushnell to issue the permit was issued by the coun cil after weeks of argument and discussion, and two weeks later was cancelled when property owners in the community com plained that their fire insurance rates would be raised because of the existence of the fence in that zone. : 'ARMISTICE DAY .; '' BAIICE i.-TGIJIGEIT i Vclcfans Cdl Corner Hood tt Church Sts.

The task force's anti-aircraft accounted for several Jap planes, Admiral Hal sey's headquarters said. Since the marines first invaded Bougainville, last big enemy Solo mons base barring the eastern ap proaches to RabauL they have killed an estimated 300 Japanese including some on the south end of eke beachhead. The positions of the barge-landed Japanese at the mouth of the Laruma river, four miles north of the marine position on Cape Torokina, were blasted by Mit chell medium bombers and fight ers and a number of barges were destroyed. The Japanese air attack was de livered by 20 dive bombers and 40 fighters. The enemy losses were divided equally between the bomb ers and fighters. Four other bombers and three fighters probably were bagged. Enemy planes also made a light raid at night on Cape Torokina. Rabaul, the New Britain 0e air stronghold on which Japan relies heavily to preserve its Bou gainville position, was raided at night by Mitchell medium bomb ers, the communique said. The bombers attacked Vuna kanua, one of RabauTs five air dromes, causing fires and explos ions. MaeArthnr's air arm hit the Japanese at Alexiahafen in the Madang area of New Guinea, destroying 21 planes en the ground and downing 14 of be tween 26 and 30 enemy inter ceptors. The Jap units were re inforcements moved in from the north.

Loss of the Borie was an nounced along with that of two other destroyers, the Henley and the Chevalier, both sunk in the south Pacific Educators Advocate Nurseries Nursery schools as a means of avoiding the dangerous practice of leaving small children at home while both parents are employed, were advocated by the commit tee on child delinquency which reported to the conference of Ore gon educators which closed here Wednesday. The "neighborhood pool" as "an alternative solution of the prob lem was frowned upon by mem bers of the committee as failing to provide proper supervision. Another recommendation was that parents be impressed with a fuller consciousness of their re sponsibilities related to care of their children. Virtually all of the educators went on record favoring the employment of juveniles in seasonal harvest work. Members of the committee on juvenile delinquency were John F. Schenk of Corvallis, Frank B. Bennett and Carl Aachenbsenaer of Salem and JEL E. McCormick of Albany.1 Participating in the conference were city school superintendents, high school principals, junior high principals and elementary school principals from all sections of Oregon. Most of the afternoon session was devoted to a discussion of various post war problems. It w; agreed that the schools should continue to assist in the war ef fort and in the peace-time read justment. State educational department of ficials said the conference was one of the best of its kind ever held in Oregon.
