LONDON, March 15.- Russian
troops swept across the middle Bug
River on a 62-mile front today,
thrusting powerful spearheads with-
in 30 miles of the pre-war Rumanian
frontier, and also captured a rail
station only 17 miles from the im-
periledBlack Sea port of Nikolaev at
the mouth of theBug, Moscow an-
nounced tonight.
10,000 'Nazis Killed
Northeast of Kikolaev on a fast-
crumbling German front the third
Ukraine Army of Stalingrad veterans
under Gen. Rodion Y. Malinovsky,
split the remnants of perhaps 45,000
~Germans trapped in the Snegireka
pocket and were "successfully exter-
minating" them, said the bulletin.
A total of 10,000 Germans already
had been declared killed and 4,000
captured in that trap Tuesday.
The sensational break-through be-
yond the Bug River on the middle-
Ukraine front for gains ranging from
12 to 18 miles was achieved by Mar-
shal Ivan S. Kone's Second Ukraine
Army, and was one of the most sig-
nificant developments of the south-
ern Russian campaign.
Plunging across territory, which
Germany had awarded Rumania for
her part in the war against Russia,
the Soviet troops overran more than
100 villages in a swift surge toward
the Dniester River frontier of Bessa-
rabia.
The broadcast bulletin, recorded
by the Soviet Monitor, announced
the seizure of Olgopol, only 15 miles
from the Odessa-Warsaw trunk rail-
way already cut by Marshal Gregory
K. Zhukov's First Ukraine Army at
Tarnopol, 200 miles to the northwest.
Olgopol also is only 25 miles north
of Rybnitsa, the Dniester River rail
station through which one of three
remaining German escape lines feeds
into Rumania.
Mud Slows Troops
Moscow dispatches emphasized the
disaster overtaking the hundreds of
thousands of Germans in lower Rus-
sta as the. Russians steadily slashed
ahead toward the tenuous Nazi com-
muications lines despite early spring
thaws which turned the roads into
cuagires.
Ouily at Tarnopol were the Ger-
mans apparently putting up a stub-
born resistance. That "hinge" be-
tween the German southern and
central fronts has been the scene of
bitter street fighting for a full week,
and the late Russian communique
again omitted mention of the sector.
in the Proskurov sector, 62 miles
east of Tarnopol, the Russians said
they had again beaten down heavy
German tank and infantry counter-
attacks, inflicting large losses on the
enemy. In that sector the Russians
had swept southwest of Proskurov
in a flanking threat to Tarnopol,
which the Germans must hold if
they are to prevent themselves being
flattened against the Carpathians.

entitled to participate in insurance
or other benefits offered by the em-
ployer pursuant to established rules
and practices relating to employes on
furlough or leave of absence which
were in effect with the employer at
the time the veteran entered the
armed forces; and he shall not be dis-
charged from his job, without cause,
within one year after he was restored

"Victory Gardens": Employes of
the University who desire garden
plots this year at the Botanical Gar-
den should notify Mr. Roszel before
the end of March.
Each plot will be assigned with the
understanding that an endeavor will
be made by the assignee to use it to
full capacity for the raising of vege-
tables, that it will be kept neat and
clean and free from weeds, and that
no refuse will be allowed to accumu-
late.
The plots will be twenty-five by
fifty feet. As there may be a few
extra plots, two may be requested if
it is thought that one will not suffice
and that two would be fully utilized.
No tools will be furnished by the
University. Water may be used if
carried in containers or run through
a garden hose held in the hand;
under no circumstances shall a hose
be left running unattended. Particu-
lar care must be taken that no prop-
erty of the Botanical Garden be
molested. Dogs are 1ot allowed in
the Gardens.
A contribution of one dollar per
person (or group using a single plot)
is requested, to provide for plough-
ing.
As a measure of seed economy, it is
suggested that each gardener pur-
chase just enough seed for his own
use and that, if he has any left, he
share or trade with his neighbor.
Dr. Felix Gustfason of the Botany
Department will b'e available for corn-
sultation regarding problems en-
countered in the development of
these gardens.
