Croix was captured in the new advance upon St. Lo, supreme headquarters announced tonight. Other counterblows that forced the earlier American pull-back were the dying gasps of the Ger mans, Whitehead said, and even as they were made, the nazi de fenders were being pulled back.

German broadcasts began reporting Russian thrusts in that area four days ago. Mos cow has remained silent. The soviet communique today, however, reported that a red army spearhead, striking west toward Warsaw in gains up to 40 miles, had overrun the cross roads town of Vydomlya, 16 miles north of Brest Litovsk. A German broadcast also re ported fierce fighting on the Fin nish front with the Russians at tacking Finnish positions at Vuosalmi, northeast of ., Lake Doga and in the Pitkaeranta sec tor, the radio report declaring more than 2000 Russians had been killed. - - (A DNB broadcast dispatch re ported by the federal commun ications commission said about 100 soviet aircraft raided the nazi-held town and harbor of Kirkenes, about 100 miles west of Murmansk).

Targets Unspecified The location of the targets was not specified but other re ports recently have focused at tention on Port Apra. American warships, based at that fire harbor on Guam's west coast, would be almost as close to Japan and the Philippines as was tne fleet at nwajaiein in the Marshals when Saipan was invaded. Guam is 1565 air miles south of Tokyo, 1595 miles east of Manila. Guam's gun emplacements were "heavily shelled" by tne warships, Nimitz said. The car rier planes also included oft-hit Rota, between Saipan and Guam, in Sunday s raid. Merchant Marine Cut Other air blows, announced today from the southwest Pa cific by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, cut deeper into Japan's depleted merchant marine. A 1300-ton frelgnter-trans- port, jammed with Jap soldiers and supplies, exploded and sank in 10 minutes off Halma- hera. south of the Philippines, after Mitchells bombed it. A 7000-ton ship was damaged. Near Flores island, just south of Celebes, Australian Beau- fighters set fire to two 4000 ton Japanese ships. Yap in the western Carolines was further neutralized by Mac Arthur bombers which de stroyed half of a force of 16 in terceptors at a cost of two Lib erators. Department Plans - To Burn Grass As soon as the grass is dry, the Klamath Falls fire depart ment plans to start burning in vacant lots, according to Fire Chief Keith Ambrose. Klamath people are asked to cut grass away from outbuild ings and fences so that the fire damage to them will be elimin ated when, the grass is burned. The fire department will also issue permits to anyone wanting to burn grass if-they will call the department and apply for a permit. , If it's a "frozen" article you need, advertise for a used one in the classified.
