Fall Of Axis Bastion At Orel Appears Inevitable
Reds Oiive
Five Miles

German Retreat
Norlh and South
of Orel Proceeds
Steadily, Reds Say
Moscow. Aujr. •! — (AT) —
The fall of the German strong
hold of Orel appeared inevltahle
today as a .-mishintf Hod
army offensive carried to within
five riiiiis of the city.
The German retreat west-'
ward from points north and
south of Ore! proceeded stead-j
ily and it seemed only a (pics->
tion of time before Orel itself
would he abandoned, eliminating
the entire enemy salient on
the central front.
(The British radio, quoting :> Reuters
dispatch from Moscow, declared
that the Germans' escape corridor
west of Orel had been narrowed
to 13 null's, threatening the na/.is 1
with another disaster perhaps e.pia! '
to that suffered at Stalingrad.
(The broadcast, recorded by the :
CBS. said that the Germans "aiv in j
lull ad hasty retreat toward Orel,
with the three main Ru-sian armies j
driving after them."
(The German i::g.i comnr.iul communique
dismissed the Orel lighting!
with the assertion that violvnt Kus
sian tank attacks southwest of the |
city had been "repulsed everywhere,"
but told of heavy fight:p.« on the
Mills river front on the s;>ir.hjrn end
of the lino rear Kuibyshevo.)

in to pocket the German forces, was;
the see: e of particularly heavy

to be forced back with los-is esti- i

dead.
