MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1943 PAGE FIVE FOR WINTER DRIVE tie, Ice - Hardened Battlefronts Will Give Reds Footing For New Offensives. Moscow, Oct. 8. (U.R) The Russian winter Red Army fight ing weather was creeping down from the north today and the Soviet command was regrouping its armies for a new offensive, when freezes harden the rain soaked battlefronts and give foot ing to men and machines. The great summer offensive which swept the German in vaders to the Dnieper line and the brink of disaster had slowed almost to a standstill for the time being. There were indica tions that Marshal Josef Stalin would give his troops a recess while preparing for the winter campaign, at which the Russians have proved themselves adept. Fighting Dwindles The Russians made slight ad vances toward Vitebsk at the northern end of the White Rus sian front, but fighting on the middle and lower reaches of the Dnieper river had dwindled to intensive scouting operations and artillery duels, The steady deterioration of the weather, including falling tem peratures and heavy rains that turned the roadless terrain to deep mud, compelled the red army to diminish the scale of Its attacks virtually within reach of their strategic objec tives in wmte Russia, Vitebsk ana uomei. The Russians have been battl ing without respite for three months and they apparently must be re-equipped and supply routes must be blasted across now Im passable forests and marshlands before they can resume their offensive. It also will be several weeks before the ground freezes suf ficiently to facilitate the move ment of mechanized forces.

CREOMULSION (or Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis LIVESTOCK Buffalo, Oct. 6. (U.R) CIO President Philip Murray charged today that "labor in the United States has not got a fair deal" and called for a concerted po litical action by the members of his union toward a "day of reck oning with these avowed enemies of labor in America" at the polls. He charged that congress has no; kept its commitments under the national stabilization act of 1942, to deal with all people equally. Prices have soared while the War Labor Board has been pre vented by presidential decree from removing Inequities and in justices in pay rate structures, he said. 'Insofar as I have been able to observe, labor, despite Its spirit of complete self-sacrifice, is throwing off its economic wea pon behind the door during the war, and has not got a square deal," he said.

F WON'T HOLD STILL A USAAF Bomber Station In England, Oct. 6 (U.R) Capt Clark Gable, who. as photogra nher and gunner, took part in five Flying Fortress raids raids on Europe, Is plenty miffed be cause the luftwaffe wouldn hold still. He doesn't know whether he did a good job In his quest for action pictures to be used in training film for gunners. "We won't know much about It until the whole thing is put together," Gable said. "That wont be until we get back to the states. "We shot a lot of film, but for some reason the German fight ers wouldn't hold still. I think we got some valuable shots, though, and I'm naturally hop ing that the pictures will be what we ve been working for. During his five missions, one over the Ruhr, Gable managed to damage most of the clouds over Europe while missing any number of enemy fighters as he worked part-time In the nose of "The Duchess as a gunner. It may have been that the German fighter pilots failed to recognize Gable with his ears tucked in or he may have been over-anxious. "I didn't hit a thing, damn It." he said sadly. AGAINST THE JAPS IS PACIFIC HINT . By United Press Reports of an impending ma- ar American naval offensive against Japanese sea power in the central Pacific circulated to day as allied forces continued to hammer at Japan s crumbling outposts in New Guinea and the Solomons. Speculation that large-scale naval fighting may break out in the Pacific was fanned by the announcement that Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in- chief of the U. S. navy, has just completed an important confer ence with his Pacific comman ders in Hawaii. Gilbert Islands Eye- Washington observers suggest ed the American attack might be aimed at the Gilbert Islands, about 2,500 miles southwest of Pearl Harbor, which flank the United States communication lines to the Solomons and Aus tralia. That the navy was ready for action on an unprecedented scale was Indicated by the fact that the bulk of the fleet now is in the Pacific, including possibly six new 35,000-on battleships of the South Dakota class and sev eral even larger fighting units, such as the Iowa and New Jersey. Meanwhile, Australian ground troops in New Guinea were re ported making progress in an overland drive up the Ramu river valley toward Madang, a big Japanese coastal base 170 miles northwest of captured Finschhafen. The Australians broke through Japanese .out- costs Monday to capture posi tions about ou mnes Deiow ine base. Fruit Harvest End About October 15 The fruit market of the valley will be completed around Octo ber 15. according to Assistant County' Agent Clifford B. Cordy. Picking of the remaining Boscs will be completed this weeK with the Winter Nellis harvest well under way. . Threshing continues chiefly on the seed crops such as vetch, clo ver, alfalfa and ladlno. Stock men have started bringing their cattle down from the summer ranges. , ''''.', V American Soldiers Fight in Cornwall London, Oct. 6 4U.R) A free-for-all fight among American sol diers was disclosed today to have occurred In a Wiltshire village on Sept. 26, the same day on which two military policemen were wounded during an Amer ican shooting affray in a town m .omwaii. A number of soldiers were injured In the Wiltshire battle, several of them seriously, when Negro and white troops fought with knives on the town's main street. German Transport . Believed Blown Up Stockholm, Oct. 6 U.R) Nor wegian sources said today that a German troop transport was believed to have gone down off south Norway Sept. 6, when a great number" of dead men and horses washed ashore after tre mendous explosion. The blast shook houses and broke windows along a big stretch of coastline. German patroli occupied the telephone and telegraph offices at Kris tlansand, isolating the town for nearly three days.

D., Oct. 8 (U.R) The slaying of a brunette WAC lieutenant who was beaten to death only a stone's throw from a quiet residential street today gave military authorities and po lice a murder mystery which seemed to oe without a motive. The victim was Lt. Naomi Kathleen Cheney, 25, Jasper, Ala., who died about midnight Monday from blows inflicted with a heavy stone or other blunt Instrument. She apparently was waylaid while walking from the Sioux Falls army air base and either lured or carried into a wooded glen 80 feet from the street. The manner of the slaying left authorities without a clue to the killer's motive. An autopsy dis closed that Lt. Cheney had not been raped. Her pocketbook was found propped against a tree two feet from the body. Authorities did not know whether money had been removed from it. Military and civilian investi gators said no arrests had been made, but it was learned that a man and his wife had been or dered picked up for questioning. It was not known whether they were wanted as suspects or pos sible witnesses. Capt. E. E. Seller, public rela tions officer at the post where Lt. Cheney was stationed, said her death was "coldblooded murder." Closing time for Sunday Too Lata to Classify, S:3o Saturday afternoon Please remember. I .
