LONDON, Monday, Nov. 8— (U.E) — Soviet tank fbrces smashed through crumbling German defenses southwest of Kiev yesterday and captured-the important rail junction nfJ*tov, cutting off German trooagp^-eating from the Ukraine cap^pfrom those battling to hold the^tfon center of Krivoi Rog.
German resistance west oiv ^lev appeared to be discrganrsed, with Soviet tank units racing 36 miles southwest of the city to take Fastov, while other units captured more than 70 towns, villages, hamlets and railway stations, including Nemenshayevka, 19 miles northwest of the ancient cathedral city.
Soviet communiques broadcast by radio Moscow' rc sorted gains on the Kerch peninsula, at the eastern end of the Crimea, where 1000 Germans died as the Red army improved its bridgehead northeast of the town of Kerch. Reconnaissance battles were fought south of Kerch and German positions were shelled... Southwest of Nevel, on the front above Vitebsk, where the Red army's drive had carried it within 50 miles of the old Polish frontier, the Soviets captured a number of places and killed 400 members of a German battalion that barred their way to a strong point.
Premier-Marshal Josef Stalin announced the capture of Fastov in an order of the day and communiques issued subsequently by the Soviet command gave details of the city’s fall. Railroad trains loaded with war equipment and huge stores of ammunition were seized by the Russians who struck with surprising speed. Many field guns, trench mortars, and machine guns were among the booty.
Gen. Nikolai F. Vatutin’s first Ukraine army w^as inflicting “enormous losses of manpower” on the Germans fleeing westward from Kiev, Moscow said. Equipment losses were also running heavy for the enemy.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Algiers, Nov. 7—<U.P)— Allied armies battled today to the threshold of the flat valleys leading to Rome, hammering out fresh gains of up to five miles all along the Italian front and capturing 17 towns despite resistance from Nazi troops reinforced by a second new division in as many days.
Two weeks of hard fighting had carried Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark’s fifth army past the Voltumo line and the Mt. Masico-Matest defenses to the Garigliano, the last major river barrier separating the British and Americans from the Campagna di Roma, the flat lands before Rome.

Three thousand dollars worth of stamps and bonds was sold this summer the DG’s leading sales, and it is hoped to double that amount this winter, ac-ter. according to Carroll Brinker-
hoff, chairman of the committee in charge.
“We expect to reach the $60,000 mark this winter for we will have more people on campus to help I boost sales than last semester.” Miss Brinkerhoff said.
To incite students to buy more the committee is looking for the thermometer used a year ago for the Community Chest drive, so that the progress of sales maybe recorded.
“Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this thermometer please notify the committee because we are unable to obtain wood for the building of a new one,” Miss Brink -erhff requested.
War bond and stamps rallies and the sale of stamps for admission to assemblies will be two of the projects the committee plans to undertake this semester and
other sales boosters are expected to be used later.
“The Victory Hut was given a thorough cleaning Friday morning in preparation for the opening,” Miss Brinkerhoff said.

Norby regains stolen wallet
It took £he FBI to do it, but Lynn Norby, Amazon president and loss of a billfold and $50, had her wallet returned to her Friday noon, minus the $50 and half her gas stamps. The wallet, which was stolen from the backstage of Bovard auditorium while Miss Norby was addressing the freshman assembly Wednesday noon, was traced through a $2 lucky (?) piece that was always carried in the billfold.
“It seems as though three little boys were playing around school last Wednesday and told a 19 year old Negro about my purse. He told them to get the billfold out of my purse, and then to bring it to him,” Miss Norby reported. “Well, he said he would go halves on the money with them, but instead he gave each little boy $2, and that’s how we happened to trace down my wallet.”

Lefever opens lecture series
Once we clearly understand why we do what we do, we will be able to prevent wTars. This will be the subject of the discussion Wednesday when Dr. D. Welty Lefever, SC professor of education, will interpret “The Age of Unreason,” a
book by Dr. Franz Alexander, in the art and lecture room, Doheny library, at 2:30 p.m.
“The author,” states Dr. Lefever, “attempts to understand history through psychology and makes particular reference to the present world situation.”
This interpretation will open the series of critical and analytical evaluation of significant books in which 10 SC professors will participate.
Dr. Lefever will point out in his interpretation the three main sections of the book, a perspective of history, a popular statement of psychology, and history and psychology in reference to the world today.
The author of “The Age of Unreason” studied under Dr. Sigmund Freud in Vienna. He was bom in Hungary and became an American citizen within the last decade. He is now director of the Chicago Institute of Psychoanalysis.
Students, faculty, and interested friends are invited to the interpolation, sponsored by the student council of religion, the faculty religious interest* committee, and the university library.
