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.

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.

WAYLAID, SLAIN
NEAR AIR BASE
Sioux Falls, S. 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."
