Proper Authority
OKLAHOMA * o, Nov. 16—'/»*)
—XJie state ruled
today that the Tu. r'f'r,"yoK grand
Jury had no right to **''"•<? '.ate
income tax returns ol .
tnent individuals whose ^
it had demanded of the stau
commission. f~
The opinion laid down the rule
at its inception that "by specific
authority it seems clear tliat the
power gpd authority of a grand
Jury is to investigate only crimes
committed or triable within its
county."
The Jury, which hud obtained
a district court order reudered
ineffective by tlie opinion, has
been conducting an inquiry into
reports of mishandling of pur-
chases of textbooks, thereby mak-
ing It of statewide scope.
Even in tax violation cases, the
court held that only the county
attorney of the county where the
"citizens resided and had their
place of business" was entitled to
use the tax records.

CHICAGO. Nov 16 —<U.R>— The
American Meat institute charged
today the government's price stab-
ilization plan for cattle will force
many meal packers out of bus-
iness when they are urgently need-
ed to provide beef for armed
forces, and also will bring about
increase of black market opera-
tions.
The charges were contained In
a letter to Fred M Vinson, direc-
tor of economic stabilization, con-
cerning the plan which will be-
come effective Dec. 1 and will
establish celling and floor prices.
Specifically, *the letter said the
plan will:
1. Freeze the beef operations of
legitimate packers at a level where-
by they will lose money and thus
be forced out of business
2. Cause expansion of black
j market operations tn beef

Russian Forces
Invasion Route
German Border Now
Only 320 Mile* From
Soviet Field Guns
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Russian forces drove west of
isolated Gomel and Zhitomir today
In a great battle to collapse the
Nazi center and open an avenue
'or the eventual Invasion of Ger-
many itself.
Gomel was virtually surrounded.
Only one escape railway remained
open after the Russians captured
the Demekhi, 34 miles west on
the railway to Warsaw.
At Demekhi the Russians were
within 320 miles of east Prussia and
tn the Nevel area, farther north,
he Oerman border was only 274
miles from Russian field guns.
The Berlin radio asserted that
massed Russian forces had dented
their lines In eight sectors. The
Russians were said to be driving
west of Smolensk with 250,000 men
Tlie whole pattern of the Russian
campaign appeared to be one of
Isolating and annihilating German
'orces which have been ousted from
all but about 150.000 square miles
of pre-war Russia.
Violent Battle in Progress
The drive toward old Poland from
Kiev and Zhitomir had effectually
severed the German armies of the
south from those of the center and
north. Advanced Russian forces
were 300 miles west ol the Germans,
still fighting In the iowtr Dnieper
marshland, and Berlin said a vio-
lent battle was In progress In this
area with a "vastly superior force
of a half million Russians."
U. S. heavy bombers attacked un-
disclosed targets in Norway this
morning after British Mosquitos
had bombed western Germany by
night. The Nazis struck back at a
southwest English coast town and
at London's outer suburbs.
Weather minimized fighting In
central Italy where the American
'ifth army lost a hill north of Vene-
fro to two German counter-attacks
The British eighth army on the east
mast gained some ground and sent
more patrols across the Sangro
river. Nazi resistance remained
strong everywhere
Balkans Bombed Again
American and Yugoslav bombers
soared again Into the Balkans,
bombing Oreek airdromes. The
Turks said the Germans had pro
tested sharply to the Bulgars over
the Inefficient defense of their own
capital of 8ofla Sunday and might
demand complete military control
of strategic points In the unwilling
puppet kingdom
Another Turkish report said Oreek
troops, which reinforced the belea-
guered British and Italians on the
Aegean Island of Leros, had turned
the tide Just when the German
attack nearly succeeded The situa-
tion on Leros remained critical, al-
though the Turks estimated 2.000
Oermans were killed.
