WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.
_(/P) __ The Congressional
padlock over legislation to
ea?e the draft impact on
fathers was broken today
?hen a Senate-House com
mittee agreed on a compro
mise embodying the princi
ple that no father anywhere
jn the nation should be call
ed while a non-father is
available. .
This was the main point of
a measure passed by the
House October 26 but re
iected by the Senate which
earlier had approved a bill
to tighten regulations for
deferment of non-fathers.
Sn&ject to Ratification
Chairman May iD.-Ky.) of the
House Military Committee called
toe compromise worked out with
representatives of the Senate Mili
tary Committee "an even stronger
H! than the House passed.”
lie conferees’ agreement is sub
ject to Senate and House ratifica
t.on. It is to be submitted to the
House first on Thursday.
The measure would direct that
fathers with children born before
September 15, 1942, be placed at
the bottom of the draft list and
none be inducted if a non-father
is available for all by any local
draft board anywhere. Non-fathers
deferred because of employment
oi ' ital war work would not, how
ever, be classed as available.
One effect of the bill would be
to nullify the order of the War
Manpower Commission that bar
tenders. race track employes and
other workers listed by WMC as
"non-essential,” be inducted with
out regard to whether or not they
have dependents
This would mean, the Senate
House conferees said, no more
new “work or fight” orders.
The measure also w-ould direct
( ire president to withdraw all pow
ws over Selective Service now
iitid by Manpower Chairman Paul
V McNutt, but if he wished the
president could re-delegate them

Camp Davis Officer
Candidate Schools
Quota Is Increased
CAMP DAVIS, Nov. 16.—An
increase in the December
quota of incoming officer
candidates at the Anti-Aircraft
Artillery School here, over the
quotas for October and No
vember, was announced Tues
day by Brig. Gen. Bryan B.
D. Milburn, commandant of
the school.
Gen. Milburn pointed out
that this increase is not to be
taken as indicative of a re
turn of the large monthly vol
ume received earlier in the
year as the quotas in nearly
all officer candidate schools
have bten reduced. The Camp
Davis school ranks second
highest among all Army in

The school at Camp Davis
was the first unit to begin the
17 weeks instruction period
which is now prevalent at all

LONDON, Nov. 16.—(JP)
—Gen. Josip Broz’ (Tito’s)
Partisans were falling back
slowly in Yugoslavia tonight
before the weight of heavy
German assaults, but to the
east, in the battle for the Bal
kans, the Allies strengthened
their toe-hold on the bitterly
contested Aegean island of
Leros.
Allied air squadrons, based
in the Middle East, were
striking hard in support of
the ground forces in a cam
paign which is increasing in
fury as winter sets in along
Hitler’s Balkan flank.
Airmen Ranged Aegean
Aside from heavy attacks on
German positions on Leros—where
Allied forces also are under vio
lent air assault—Allied airmen
ranged the Aegean against ene
my shipping. U. S. bombers dis
abled a German destroyer while
British Spitfires and Hurricanes
raked the islands of Rhodes and
Crete. American bombers also
smashed at two airdromes near
Athens.
Tito, whose Yugoslav army of
Liberation for weeks has been con
fronting Hitler with an ever sharp
ening menace, acknowledged in a
communique today that his Parti
san forces had to withdraw from
positions on the Peljesac peninsu
la on the lower Dalmatian coast
and in Dalmatia his forces gener
ally were fighting a defensive
struggle.
The Germans, in an effort to se
cure their Balkan battle lines for
the winter, were reported to have
hurled thousands of first-rate
troops into the struggle with the
Yugoslav Partisan forces and were
said to be paying heavily in men
and material for their gains.

County Requests Funds
For Building T. B. j
Sanitarium In Section
i
Request has been made to the
U. S. Public Health service for
sufficient Federal funds to be used
for the construction of a new Red
Cross sanitarium here. The request
wasm made by Addison Hewlett,
chairman of the board of county
commissioners, at a conference
with the State Helth department
in Raleigh, Tuesday. He was ac
companied by Dr. A. H. Elliot,
city and county health officer.
County commissioners previously
appealed to FHA and were ad
vised that the project appeared to
be a specal kind of hospital and
that FHA was not prepared to
appropriate funds for a special hos
pital or an institution for conta
gious diseases.
Hewlett was advised by FHA to
submit the proposal to the State
Board of Health and that if it was
considered a necessity to the City
of Wilmington and vicinity, the
plan would be taken up by the
U. S. Public Health service.
At the conference Tuesday plans
were completed to submit this pro

ALLIED HEADQUAR
TERS, Algiers, Nov. 16.—(A*)
—German troops, counter
attacking from their power
ful rock-hewn winter line,
have knocked American for
ces back from hard-won
heights north of Venafro, the
Allied command acknowledg
ed today, and direct word
from the cold, rainy Italian
front made plain that bitter
fighting awaits the Allies on
the road to Rome.
“Neither Tunisia nor Sici
ly presented the difficulties
which the Allied troops must
overcome before they drive
the enemy into northern Ita
ly, and it is becoming obvious
that neither of those cam
paigns cost the blood this
drive will cost,” wrote Don
Whitehead of the Associated
Press from the Fifth Army
front.
For the time being, both
the Allies and Germans were
digging into the mud for shel
ter from the inclement wea
ther and from shellfire, and
comparatively small forces
were battling for a few yards
of rocky hilltop, valuable on
ly because they overlook a
further goal.
Nazis Counterattack
The Nazis counterattacked twice
yesterday with strong, fresh troops
to shove Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark’s
American infantry off positions
they had won on Monte Santa
Croce, north of Venafro. This key
peak dominates the entrance to a
plain northwest of Mignano, which
in turn gives access to the stra
tegic city of Cassino on the main
inland highway to Rome.
The British Eighth Army, defy
ing the weather and consequent
absence of air support, won some
new high ground north of Atessa,
14 miles in from the Adriatic, and
its patrols ranged across the San
gro river to feel out the enemy’s
strength. German resistance was
stiff along the length of the front.
With the usual swarms of Allied
fighters and fighter - bombers
grounded by rain, fog and low
hanging clouds, heavy Liberator
bombers of the 15th U. S. Air
Force were joined by Lend-Lease
Liberators of the reorganized Yu
goslav air force in a smash at
Elevsis airdrome at Athens, while
American mediums pounded anoth
er Nazi field in the Athens area.
The relatively static position of
the front for the past week is giv
ing the Germans ample time to
strengthen their mountain fortifi
cations in depth. Even a break
through of the present Nazi line
would leave the Allies onlv in po
sition to continue the hard foot
by-foot fighting. In his dispatch
today, Whitehead drew a dreary
picture:

Kirke Simpson Says:
Winter Holds No Hope
For Nazi Army Relief
(By The Associated Press)
Wintery weather in Italy has
cut the Allied advance on Rome
to a snail’s pace, temporarily
neutralizing Anglo-American air
superiority which has been the
dominant factor in the campaign
in Russia, however, the oncoming
winter holds small prospect of
even momentary relief for batter
ed Nazi armies trom the Baltic to
the Black Sea.
On the contrary, the hour has all
but struck for a dual new Rus
sian coup. The long dormant
northern front is about to flame
into a full-scale Red army winter
attack to match the half score
other major offensives Berlin noted
as making progress farther south,
Only the scope and direction of the
attack remains in doubt, and the
exact moment for its launching.
The start of the Nazi rout in
Russia began just a year ago at
Stalingrad. By November 22 the
pincers attack had been driven 30
miles or more into Nazi defenses
and the trap in which substantial
ly half a million German and sat
ellite troops died or were taken
prisoner was beginning to take
shape.
The anniversary of that smash
ing Russian victory would be an
appropriate date for a new Rus
sian blow, and history seems to be
repeating itself. Berlin has dis
closed grim new threats to Nazi
forces still in the Dnieper bend,
telling of Russian penetrations
north and west of Krivoi Rog, of
which Moscow has made no men
tion yet. The fate of a greater
German army than that lost be
fore Stalingrad seefns at stake,
and with it the last slim hope of
escape for the Nazi garrison in the
Crimea.
If the Dnieper bend noose is as
wide and deep as Berlin suggests,
reaching almost to the left flank
of the greater end even more

Norwegian Metal Mines
Hard Hit By Fortresses
LONDON, Nov. 16.—(/P)—Large formations of Amer
ican heavy bombers fought their way 700 miles across the
North Sea through heavy snow storms today to strike at
Germany’s essential metol supply, bombing a molybdenum
mine at Knaben, on the west coast of Norway and a power
station at Rjukan, approximately 80 miles west of Oslo.
The Flying Fortress and Liberator attack on the north
ern side of Germany’s European fortress followed up a U.
S. 15th Air Force raid yesterday on two Nazi air bases near
Atnens, on tne soutnern Hank
of Europe.
The Britain-based heavy bomb
ers were unescorted and encount
ered only slight resistance. They
shot down six Nazi planes with a
loss of only two bombers — one
more than on the Norway raid
July 24 when the Trondheim naval
base and Heroya aluminium
works were attacked.
Molybdenum, used in hardening
steel, is vital in the manufacture
of munitions. The Knaben mine,
located 50 miles northwest of
.Kristiansund, was attacked last
February 3 by RAF Mosquitos. At
tnat time it was estimated that
the raid cut off three quarters of
Germany’s supply of Molybden
num, and a Swedish newspaper
said the mine’s production was
stopped for months.
The German-controlled Oslo ra
dio was recorded by the Ministry
of Information as saying that sev
eral places in southern Norway
were attacked at noon “by strong
American formations.” The broad
cast acknowledged, however, only
'damage to some buildings.”
The raid continued a series of
major American blows at the Ger
man’s metal supply. Fortresses
bombed Dueren, near Cologne,
site of an important iight-metal
precessing plant for airplane
parts, on October 20 and Novem

TURCHENKA CAPTURED
60 Towns And Villages
Gobbled Up By Pre

_
LONDON, Nov. 16.—{#)
—The Russian Ukranian ar
my drove for the railway
junction of Korosten from
the south and northeast to
day, pounding to within 13
miles of the important com
munications line now under
its artillery sights, a com
munique disclosed tonight.
Capturing 60 towns and
villages in the swift advance,
the Russians flung the Ger
mans from Obikhodi (Obu
kody), 13 miles east of the
railroad and 16 miles from
Korosten to the southwest.
Another Russian column,
surging up the railway from
Zhitomir to the south, cap
tured the town of Turchen
ka, 14 miles south of Koros
ten.
Korosten, 55 miles from
the pre-war Polish border, is
one of the main Nazi east
west lines of supply, the
Odessa - Leningrad line and
is also on the Kiev-Warsaw
line.
Anotner Line Attacked
The next German east-west line
to the north was under Russian
attack in the Rechitsa region,
where the Russians were push
ing for the key town of Kalin
kovichi.
The Moscow communique, rec
orded by the Soviet monitor from
a broadcast, said the Red army,
which yesterday cut the railway
leading from Gomel west to Ka
linkovichi, captured ten more Ger
man strongpoints and the ene
my “sustained tremendous losses
in manpoyer and equipment.”
Mentioning the sector north of
Gomel for the first time, the bul
letin said hte army had captured
a number of Nazi strongholds and
considerably improved its position
as it engaged the Germans to ex
tend Soviet bridgeheads on the
west bank of the Sozh river. The
river, in this area, comes down
to an eastward bulge before flow
ing to the eastern edge of Gomel.
Although the major Russian
gains of the day were made in the
Korosten area, there was no Sov
iet mention of Russians pushing
west from nearby Zhitomir to
ward the pre-1941 Polish border.
The extent of Russian penetra
tation west of Zhitomir remained
in doubt A Moscow dispatch yes
terday said swift Red army me
chanized and motorized columns
had driven from Kiev through
Zhitomir to Baranovka, thrusting
a dangerous salient into the Ger
man positions to a depth of 112
miles west of Kiev and 165 miles
from the Polish border of 1941.
This would place the head of the
salient some 40 miles west of
Zhitomir and about 35 miles east
of the pre-war Polish-Russian
frontier. Large scale maps show
a town named Baranovka at that
point. However, maps also show
a town of the same name some
50 miles north northeast of Zhito
mir. Soviet sources here were
without definite information as to
which Banarocka had been taken
and a recheck from Moscow was
not immediately available.
