(By United Pre) Plunging R u 1 1 i a n forcet clinched a great victory on the lower Dnieper river today by cutting off the Crimea and roll ing across the Nogaisk steppes through a disastrously defeated German army. Possibly 80,000 enemy troops were trapped by Soviet van guards that by-passed the town of Perekop, gateway to the Cri mea, and were racing for the Black sea, after presumably cut ting the last rail exit for the Nazi Crimean forces. Greatest Defeat Moscow dispatches described the wind up of the battle be tween the lower Dniper and the Black sea as one of the greatest defeats ever inflicted on Adolf Hitler's blasted legions. The battle was terminating ln a slaughter with Nazis caught by fast-moving spearheads that left them easy prey for on-coming infantry and armored forces. ' The Russian triumph coincid ed with attacks by Allied forces in Italy that drove spearheads tnto - the outer fringes of the German line across the penin sula set to block the roads to Rome. Win High Ground -One thrust went in at Teano, near the Capua-Rome road, and another at Cantalupo, nine miles from the enemy's central hub at Isernla. In these advances, and a five-mile push by American forces to seize Valle Agricola, the Allies won high ground from which to dominate enemy positions. Purpose of the thrusts appear to to be to outflank the German western anchor in Mount Mas slco, which a spokesman at Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's headquart ers said the Nazis would not give up without a battle. 1,100 MILES TO BLAST RIVIERA London. Nov. 1. (U.PJ Medi terranean-based American four englned bombers blasted Cannes on the French Riviera yesterday and RAF Mosquitoes from Britain raided western Germany last night in a renewal of the Allied aerial squeeze on. Axis Europe. The Northwest African air forces, flying 1,100 miles round trip ln their second raid of the war on France, attacked the im portant Antheor viaduct on the costal railway linking south eastern France with northern Italy. Cannes lies about half way between Toulon and the Italian border. The twin-engined, plywood Mosquitoes broke a week-long lull tn night raids on Germany when they swept across western Germany. Their objectives were not announced, but presumably were war factories in the Ruhr or Rhlneland. One plane was lost. German planes dropped bombs on London last night tor the first time in more than a week and there were a number of casualties. Rescue squads dug in the wreckage of several houses for victims. V. S.

H. Kedrick, city school superintendent, when compared with the 16,281 num ber two ration books issued by the schools last February, alight increase in population Is noted. As was the case in Feb ruary, it was stated today that some registrants of Medford and vicinity failed to apply for their number four books on the des ignated days and would receive them belatedly from the ration board. An actual count at each school showed that Jackson school han dled 4004 applications; Lincoln school, 3460; Roosevelt school, 4176; and Washington, 5201. Only One Mitcue A surprising record was noted in the fact that while 125 peo ple handled applications, serving as registrars and administrators, only one ration book form was not accounted for in the final tabulation. Since the books are issued by serial numbers, the lone form in a group of 16,841 issued, was considered unusual. School officials today ex pressed their appreciation for the volunteer help given In the registration by the twenty-five community people, coming from Medford and surrounding vi cinity to give unsolicited aid. and by the several high school and junior'high school students who acted as ushers at the regis tration centers. While the government esti mated the registration period would require four days, the task in Medford was completed in a day and a half of actual registration time, following u half-day instruction class given to teachers who were to handle the work.

Nov. 1TTT President Roosevelt told con gress today that continuation of his program of food subsidies -and support Drices was "vital" to attainment of the greatest foud production goal ln history in 1944 16,000,000 more acres of crop than in 1943. His program, he said, will not only furnish the United States) with "one of their most potent weapons to shorten the war and win a lasting peace; it will make possible fulfillment of our pledge) to the farmers to ruard aeainitt price collapse for the two years mijxr ue war. Longest Message Mr. Roosevelt' rimsni4 fnf extension of the life of the com modity credit corporation and for additional funds to guarantee) farmers a definite return on the) 380,000,000 acres ot crops they wui dc asKea to plant next spring was made in a 12,000 word message to congress. It was a vigorous and detailed explana tion and defense of his farm and rooa policies since the war began while emphasis has been on more) and more production, and of the) early new deal farm program of acreage restriction. It was the longest message) ever sent to capital hill by Mr. Roosevelt, and required almost a month of preparation. Mr. Roosevelt did not state how much more money would be needed to finance his program; but pointed out that the CCC's 1943 program had cost the mvw eminent $350,000,000 and tha rollback of meat anil hfiHa prices another $430,000,000. Moderate Sum This expenditure of $800, 000,000 per year is a moderate sum to pay in order to accomp lish the objectives we have in mind greater production and lower consumer nricM tnr whole year," he said. "In fact it is about equal to the cost to us of waging this war for three days." He emphasized that food waa as much a weapon of war as air planes, guns, tanks and ships that it was a potent psycholog ical and morale weapon to use in countries overrun by the axis. As the result of greater need for more food, ha hM h food administration has "raised its sights for 1944," 'calling for 380,000,000 acres of crops in stead of the 364,000,000 acres in 1943 a planting that should re sult in "the breaking of food pro ductlon records for the eighth consecutive year." Restrictions Erased All acreage restrictions lm by the AAA in former have been removed for posed years 1944, the Dresldent tobacco marketing quotas will be maintained. Furthermnro h added, "the blunder of the first world war" disregard of soil conservation measures will be avoided; no new dust bowl will be created.
