KIEV, IN NAZI HANDS 2 YEARS, TAKEN BY RUSS
Nazis Evacuate
Ancient Capital
To Avoid Capture
London — (-P)—
Kiev has fallen to the victorious Russian army, Premier-Marshal Joseph Stalin announced today in a special order of the day. The key Dnieper river bastion and ancient capital of the Russians fell to Soviet columns which had been poised above and below ;he city for weeks after the Soviet offensive carried to the river barrier. Suddenly, the Russian columns swung into action two days ago blasting great holes through the Nazi Positions and closing into the city.
.German Troops Withdrawn
The German high command had announced a few hours previously that the great fortress had been evacuated, with German troops pulling out under the threat of encirclement.
The G e r m a n announcement, broadcast from Berlin, said also that other Soviet columns had renewed
their attacks on both sides of the Kerch straits in the eastern Crimea, and against the Perekop isthmus, the northern entry to that peninsula.Stalin's announcement termed the assault which drove the Nazis from the ancient fortress "a gallant outflanking maneuver" which at daybreak "captured by storm the capital of the Soviet Ukraine, the town of Kiev, vital industry center and most important strategic center of German resistance on the right flank of the Dnieper.
It also termed the capture of the greatest importance in driving the Germans from the western Ukraine."
Kiev has the vital strategic importance of standing astride the Dnieper river at the entrance of the Corridor into central Europe between the Carpathian mountains on the south and the Pripet marshes on the north.
NEW SOLOMONS
ACTION SEEN AS
JAPS MASS SHIPS
Southwest Pacific Allied Headquarters—(AP) —
Possibly 53 Japanese heavy and light cruisers, destroyers, transports and freighters —new stakes in the deadly game raging to a decision in the Solomons—are moving on Rabaul from Truk to within range of massed hundreds of American bombers.
Already the first bombs have hit one of the five southbound convoys in what shapes up as likely to be the
most violent action since a 22-ship enemy convoy was destroyed by allied planes last March in the Bismarck
sea off New Guinea.
Headquarters reported today the spotting of the enemy fleet units by sky patrols and a spokesman made
clear their every move is being watched by this careful listing:
List Jap Forces
Nineteen ships— five heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, five destroyers, two corvettes, a whaling ship and three large freighters or transports — seen Thursday northwest of New Ireland. A Liberator shadowed and photographed this force for two hours. Nine ships— Destroyers and possibly some cruisers— sighted Friday 60 miles from Kavieng.
Ten ships— A heavy cruiser, five destroyers, three cargo ships and a tanker— spotted moving in two sectionsFriday north of Mussau island, and one of the destroyers was bombed
Japanese Seek to
Halt Chinese On
Route to Burma With Chinese and American forces in Northern Burma, Nov. 4 (Delayed)—(AP)—
Brig. Gen. Hayden Boatner said today the Japanese had sent reinforcements by elephants, rafts and motorboats in an effort to halt a Chinese advance down the Chindwin river from the Naga hills but he declared he was well satisfied" with the progress.
Boatner, an American who was in charge of training a large force of Chinese, said some Japanese remained
in one or two spots in the upper valley, which the Chinese ave occupied since October 26, but
they are gradually being mopped-up-"
He said the American-trained Chinese involved in the operation pirobably were the best equipped troops in China's history. He said the enemy had suffered heavy casualties.
Already American engineers engaged in building the new Ledo road have taken advantage of the advance to lay out the course the road will follow through the valley.
The new road, intended to connect with the Burma road, eventually will provide the first land link between India and China.
