Germans Lose
Important Hub
To Red Army
Russian Forces
Pounding Westward
Across Nazi Soil
LONDON. Oct. 23 —tU.R)— The
German high command todaj ack-
nowledged the loss of the East
Prussian rail and highway hub of
Goldap to Russian forces pounding
westward acposs German soil along
three main railroads leading to In-
sterburg and the great supply fort-
ress of Konlgsbcrg.
Nazi broadcasts Indicted the Red
army had driven some 25 miles into
East Prussia in a broadside cam-
paign to open tile way to Konigs-
berg and was ripping up the Nazi
defenses In a battle of mounting
ferocity.
The reported fall of Goldap. key
anchor of the German positions
northeast of the historic Masurian
lakes, apparently cracked the strong-
est core of resistance below Instcr-
burg. 30 miles to the northwest.
Violent Fighting Reported
A Berlin communique said Goldap
had been evacuated and other Nazi
reports told of violent house-to-
house fighting in the rail Junction.
Its reported fall released the Rus-
sian besiegers to swing north toward
Insterburg nnd Konigsbcrg or south
toward Lyck in a bid to collapse
the German defenses of southeast-
ern East Prussia.
Neither the Soviet press nor the
official Russian communique had
yet reported the offensive, but a
dispatch from the United Press
staff correspondent In Moscow said
battles “of far-reaching conse-
quence" were being fought in East
Prussia and that an announcement
appeared imminent.
The three drives into East Prussia
were converging on Insterburg from

Tilsit was under Red artillery fire,

Under Pressure
On Wide Front
Allies Probing For
Cracks To Permit
Smash at Berlin
LONDON, Oct. 23 — ‘IP)— Six
allied armies pounded the tightly
drawn Nazi defense stand from
Holland to Switzerland’s border
today with an unceasing pressure
aimed at opening the eventual
crarks that will permit a smash
to Berlin.

The assault was on against the

of Antwerp, the Breda box north
of Antwerp, the hard-held door-
way from Aachen, the upper en-
trance of the Saar valley, and the
sharp-cloven Vosges passes.

LONDON. Oct. 23—(U.R)—The Bcr-
DeGaulle Holds
French Control
Recognition Given
By Allied Powers
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23 —</Pi—
The United States and Great Bri-
tain today recognized the DeGaulle
administration as the "provisional
government of the French repub-
lic.”
Moscow radio reported that Sov-
iet Russia had taken tile same
step and similar announcement:!
come from Brazil. Canaria and Aus-
tralia.
The American action was an-
nounced by the acting secretary of
state. Edward R. Stettinius, who
also disclosed that most of Fiance,
including Paris, had been desig-
nated by allied military authorities
as "an interior zone" in which the
French authorities have complete
responsibility.
This Ulterior zone covers lyery
thing except the combat -rrs c.n
points essenttol to combat supply.
Elections Will Decide
Stettinius’ statement recalled that
French leaders, including. General
Charles DeGaulle, have declared
on several occasion their inten-
tions to hold elections as soon as
possible.
"Pending the expression of the
will of the French people, through
the action of their duly elected
representatives." Stettinius said,
"the provisional government of the
Fiench republic In its efforts to
prosecute the war until final vic-
tory and to lay the foundations fc
the rehabilitation of France car,
count on the continued full and
friendly cooperation of the gov-
ernment of the United Estates.”
Relations Altered
The action bf recognition com-
pletely changed the bats of rela-
tions between France and the
allied powers—the United States.
Britain and Russia. DeGaulle, in-
stead of ranking only as the lead-
er of a "de facto" authority, now
ranks as a chief of government and
head of state approximating the
positions held by President Roose-
velt. Marshal Joseph Stalin and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Defer-se Positions

GENERAL MacARTHUR’S HEAD-
QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP-
PINES. Oct. 23 —(/Pi— American
soldiers pushing westward on Leyte
island’s southern front today over-
ran strong Japanese defense posi-
tions and were trying to trap enemy
troops retreating up the wide Leyte
valley.
A w'ar correspondent on the
southern front reported that Yank
seventh infantry division troops led
by tanks were moving up the open
valley inland from Dulag. where
one of the first American beach-
heads was established.
The country leading northwest-
ward from Dulag is flat and ideal
for tank warfare. The Leyte valley
over which the, forces of liberation
are moving is 25 miles wide on the
southwest. It tapers to 10 miles wide
on the northeast. The valley Is
flanked by mountain ranges with
peaks rising up to 1.300 feet.
Government Established
Meanwhile, Tacloban, the provin-
cial capital occupied by the Tanks
after they took the air fields in that
sector, became the temporary capi-
tal of the first free government of
the Philippines In more than two
years.
As his troops pressed forward,
General Douglas MacArthur an-
nounced preparations already are
underway for construction of a
giant base for future operations
around the captured airdromes of
Tacloban and Dulag.
The supply problem for Japan's
vicious 16th division already is be-
coming difficult after their "pre-
liminary defeat” and, should they
be forced into the hills, might be-
come acute, General MacArthur
said in his communique today.

aerial blows against communica-
tion lines and flanking Japanese
bases. These strikes continued with
bombers hitting other Vlsayan
