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

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

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

Dwight Eisenhower's headquart

16,841 HERE NOW
Medford't tour elementary
schools issued a total of 18,841
number four ration books last
Thursday and Friday, according
to figures released today from
the office of E. 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

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.

IN 1944 DEPENDS
ON SUBSIDY HELP
Congress Told Farmers Must
be Guaranteed Definite
Returns on Vast Acreage.
Washington. 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."

added, "the blunder of the first
