Fighting In rain, mud, fog and cold, the Russians in their plunge In the Propolsk region overran three Nazi bulwarks, the broadcast communique said. Mogilev Is one of the main re maining rail and defense centers held by the Germans In White Russia. Propolsk Is approximately 70 miles southeast of Mogilev. Moscow dispatches declared that Gen. Constantln Rokossovsky's troops had penetrated deep Into the Ger mans' strong defense line virtually from one end of White Russia to the other. The Russian communique, recorded by the Soviet Monitor, said Rus sian troops, despite clinging mud, were continuing their push west and south west of Kremenchug, and had captured three Nazis strongpolnts after stub born fighting. German troops continuing their in fantry and tank attacks against the Russians' Dnieper river bridgehead In the reChkasy area were repulsed, the war bulletin said. By expanding their holding below Kremenchunk westward the Russians apparently are attempting- to relieve the pressure on the Cherkasy bridgehead. The communique also contained a belated disclosure of the landing of German sea-borne forces a few days ago at the mouth of the Dnieper river a landing which It said was completely wiped out by resolute So viet counterattacks. German losses In this operation were declared to total 700 dead and the Russians took 500 prisoners. The Nazi landings iwere made on Kindurln skaya Kosa, and the enemy captured Vordtadt and Pokrovskey Kuhtara before the Soviet counter-blows de velop, the war bulletin said. The Soviet monitor and the Brit ish Ministry of Information both re corded reports that battles were being fought on the approaches to Zhlobln, the important, Junction of the Lenln SradJOdessa and Gomel-Minsk rail ways. The Russians last were reported eight miles' away on a drive from the southeast up the Gomel rail line. Oil Transport To Be Better Ickes Sees Solution Of The Problem By Next Spring SUPPLY isTNCREASING Interior Secretary Ickes said yester day the petroleum transportation prob lem will be largely overcome by next spring but that the trouble then will be a shortage in the domestic supply. Ickes, Petroleum dministrator for War, said Imports in greater volume than prewar days would have to be made because the home output will not meet requirements. He gave no fig ures. By spring, petroleum transportation projectc including pipe lines wW be completed, providing for the east coast an overland capacity of about 1,625,000 barrels daily, he said. Ralph K. Da vies, deputy PAW ad ministrator said that the Big Inch pipe line is reaching capacity flow. "In early 1941 pipe line transporta tion of oil to the eastern states amounted to about 42,000 barrels a day," he said. "Today this under ground flow exceeds 475,000 barrels a day; by spring the flow is scheduled to advance to about 700,000 barrels a day." With the mounting pipe line flow, Davies added, tank car shipments to the east have been reduced to less than 800,000 barrels daily. This per mitted diversion of 8,000 tank cars to midwest and California runs. Motor truck haulage of oil increased to a point where 25,000 tank cars could be transferred from short haul to long haul movement Inland waterway transportation has been boosted from64.000 barrels daily in April, 1943, to. 168,000 barrels.

Allied head- quarters announced yesterday. On either end of the line both the American Fifth army and the famous British Eighth have cast their full power Into the offensive for the first time since the Invasion of Italy. British troops with the Fifth have captured an Important ridge, 2.800 foot Monte Camino, also on the south ern flank of the road from Magnano to Rome. (Three of the most formidable heights in the Mount Camino area now are in Allied hands, the Algiers United Nations radio said in a broad cast recorded by Reuters at London.) On the hard-fought Adriatic flank the Eighth army captured San Vito, 16 miles below the strategic port or Pescara, but so tough was German resistance that the men of Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery were forced to give up newly-captured Ossogna to a determined, tank-led counterattack. A communique from the 15th army group headquarters of conservative Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, Gen. Eisenhower's deputy commander in chief, described the losses of the Ger man Tenth army as "heavy." We have achieved very important local successes," said a headquarters spokesman, "in some places on the mountains the Germans had dug into solid rock to a depth of eight feet and had to be driven out In hand-to-hand combat." In the third day of the Fifth army's smashing attack, Saturday, the battle developed Into an almost entirely infantry-artillery affair as rain cut Al lied air activity to a minimum. One of the greatest needs of the Allied commanders on the Italian front at this moment Is blue sky. For days, communiques from that theater have mentioned "adverse weather'f conditions which put a crimp in the use of aviation. With much of the current fighting in mountainous terrain, air support is urgent. Planes can Slam explosives at points and in tonnage not possible for artillery. The heavily-reinforced positions Into which the Nazis have dug themselves on mountain sides do not have a roof any more than Hitler's Europe. Moreover, artillery itself Is handi capped when the air arm is grounded. In mountain fighting, where shells must be lobbed over an intervening ridge into enemy-held territory, ground observation posts are not always avail able to spot and correct the gunfire. Planes make that possible. Therefore, until the skies clear gen erally over the Italian front, it would appear that the old standby of all armies, the infantry, must continue to batter its way, inch by inch, virtually alone. transferred to Camp Wheeler, Ga.
