As the sound of frequent ex

headquarters announced that

NEWS AFFECTS
MORALE
J
Major J. Martin Adams, flight
surgeon with the parachute
corps, told members of the Ki
wants club Thursday noon the
effect of news from horn on the
morale of the fighting men over
seas. Some of the news from the
production front about strikes
and walkouts, and news of over
confidence of the people back
home do no good, Major Adams
said, but he emphasized that the
boys were not feeling bitter
about the comforts people; were
living in back home.
Instead of comparing, condi
tions on the home front to the
conditions the soldiers are living
in, they compare American com
forts to the lives led by the
French' and Italian people, and
realize' that the American way
of life is what they are fighting
for, he reported.
Major Adams Is on leave for
20 days from the army and is
awaiting re-assignment. He has
been in European and African
theaters of war. Adams is a for
mer Klamath Falls' physician.
'Labor relations here are some
what unsatisfactory, according
to H. K. Johnson, senior labor
adviser of the war production

will leave at the end of the week.
Johnson said he would seek
additional information to deter

A Russian communique said
that Unecha, a rail junction mid
way between Bryansk and
Gomel, had fallen also bvforo tho

Unecha's capture represents
73-mile gain by a Russian column
racing southwest along tho rail
road from Bryansk toward

Poltava, a city of 98.000, lies
on the Vorskla river in the fer

and is a control center of a net

west of Kharkov, 187 miles
southeast of Kiev, 81 miles
northeast of Kremenchug on the
Dnieper and 77 miles northwest
of Dnepropetrovsk at the Dniep
er bend.
Captured by the nails on Sep

powerful drive across Russia,

Isolated
The city was Isolated yester
day when red army forces
stormed the town of Dikana, IS
miles to the north, and Golovach,
six miles to the south. The Ger
man broadcast said that nazl
troops destroyed all military in
stallations In Poltava before they
continued their retreat westward
toward the Dnieper.
With the red army charging
forward unchecked along the
whole 750-mile front, the Berlin
radio said in a noon-day news
bulletin that the center of grav
ity had shifted to southeast of
Smolensk, the German central
front bastion.
Bloody Fighting
There, the Germans reported,
the red army was storming at
nazl positions with strong In
fantry and tank forces.
Bloody-lighting was said to be
raging west of Yolnya, some 40
miles southeast of Smolensk and
in the Demidov region, 42 miles
northwest of the key center.
Kiev, Russia's fourth largest
city and keystone of the German
defense wall, on the Dnieper
river, was menaced from three
directions as red army forces
continued to roll up victory after
victory along the flaming 730
mile front from Demidov in the
north to the Kuban bridgehead
on the Black sea.
Demidov, 42 miles northwest
of Smolensk and 21 miles from
the borders . of White Russia,
was stormed' by the Russians
yesterday after one of the most
sanguinary battles of the soviet
summer drive. Its capture, after
two days of bitter fighting,
elicited a special order of the

who called the northern bastion
"one of the strongest German de
fense centers."
