Senat
vote Is 85-5
In Favor of
Declaration
U.S. Pledges Itself
To Participation in
Post-War Planning
By The Associated Press
'WASHINGTON,Nov. 5.- The
United States Senate voted over-
w helmingly today to, back up the
Moscow Four-Power Declaration for
an international organization to keep
the world at peace..
The vote was 85 to 5 in favor of a
post-war policy resolution sponsored
by the Foreign Relations Committee.
It climaxed two weeks of debate that
frequently sparked with anger in
arguments over the part this coun-
try should play in the affairs of the
world after war.
The opposition votes came from
Senators Johnson (Rep.-Calif.), Lan-
ger (Rep.-N.D.), Reynolds (Dem.-
N.C.), Shipstead (Rep.-Minn.) and
Wheeler (Dem.-Mont.).
Connally Motion Passes
As the final vote was announced
Senator Lucas (Dem.-Ill.) shouted,
"This is the end of a glorious day in
the Senate of the United States."
"Through this declaration of good
faith," he told the crowded chamber,
"the Senate of the United States as
now constituted advises the world
that it is ready to assume its respon-
sibility in helping chart, a course
which will bring a lasting peace to
the suffering peoples of a tortured
world.."
By its vote to the Senate caught
up with the Moscow Declaration be-
teen the United States, Britain,
Russia and China which was an-
nounced last Monday-settling many
tdf the questions over which the
chamber had argued for a week.
As finally adopted, this Is, the
heart of the adopted resolution au-
thored by Chairman Connally (Dem.
-Tex,) of the Foreign Relations
Committee:
Powerful Resolution
"Resolved: . . . that the United
States, acting through its constitu-
tional processes, join with free and
sovereign nations in the establish-
ment and maintenance of interna-
tional authority with power to pre-
vent aggression and to preserve the
peace of the world.
"That the Senate recognizes the
necessity of there being established
at the earliest practicable date a
general international organization,

H. Cress, campaign chairman, an-
nounced late last night that "re-
ports filed today are large both in
number and amounts."
Yesterday morning 53 per cent of
the total amount had been sub-
scribed, and the campaign commit-
tee is confident that the goal will be
met. Workers in all divisions re-
doubling their efforts throughout the
day turned in many reports.
The University goal was set at
$20,000, and latest reports show that
$11,037 has been collected so far.
Servicemen stationed on the cam-
pus were eager to contribute al-
though they were not originally so-
licited, Walter A. Geske, executive
secretary of the Community Fund,
stated. They are making their
pledges through the University Divi-
sion.
Latest figures on the University

the $5,000 goal for this division has
been collected. Mrs. A. C. Fursten-

Michigan, pursuing its first Big Ten
title since 1933, clashes with air-
minded Indiana in a game starting
at 2:30 p.m. (EWT) in Michigan's
giant stadium.
The Hoosiers, one of the best ofj
the nation's civilian squads, will be
Michigan's biggest obstacle on its
race for the Conference crown, for
the Wolverines are expected to con-
quer their two remaining foes, Wis-
consin and Ohio State, with more or
less ease.
The game will feature the battle
between one of the best service-
aided teams in the country, Michi-
gan, and the civilian Hoosiers. The
Maize and Blue are favored but In-
diana's freshman backfield is expec-
ted to give the Wolverine defenders
an interesting afternoon.
This Is Eleventh Meeting
This will be the 11th clash between
the two schools, with Michigan hav-
ing a great edge over the lads from
Bloomington, having taken eight of
the eleven previous battles.
This will be Michigan's first game:
since the departure of Bill Daley and
Merv Pregulman, its leading ground
gainer and best defensive lineman
respectively, and its secnd game
since Capt. Paul White left for Par-
ris Island, but the Wolverines will

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. AL-
GIERS, Nov. 5.-Halfway to Rome'a
from its bloody Salerno beachhead,
the American Fifth Army streamhed
through shattered German defenses
to the flooded mouth of the Garig-3
liano River on the Mediterranean to-
day, while the hard-driving British t
Eighth Army slashed on toward thee
enemy's main supply lifeline to the
Trigno River sector on the Adriatic.
American troops were fighting on1
the heights overlooking Venafro, a1
central anchor of the Nazis' collapsed
Massico Ridge line, and the city's
fall was believed imminent. All alongl
the Fifth Army front German troopst
were falling back under continuous,1
heavy pressure toward their next
stand along the Aurunci mountain:
range.
(DNB, German news agency, an-1
nounced that Nazi troops had evac-
uated Venafro.)
Hope was revived that Allied forces
would fight their way into Rome, now
only 75 miles away, by Christmas or1
New Year's.J
After days of savage fighting, in
which numerous Nazi tank-led coun-
terattacks were repulsed, Gen. Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery's Eighth
Army captured the heavily-defended
town of San Salvo near the mouth
of the Trigno yesterday, an Alliedc
communique announced.
The enemy's current efforts since
being thrown from Massico Ridget
and San Croce mountainappears toe
be concentrated on reaching the Aur-
unci Mountains rather than in mak-
ing a stand along the Garigliano Riv-
er. Relentless Allied bombings of1
bridges across the stream the last
two days have given the Germans
plenty of difficulties in effecting an{
orderly withdrawal.

Flank Kiev in
Slashing Assault
Moscow Announces
Eleven Other German'
Strongholds Taken
By The Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Soviet forces,
launching anew the biattle for kiev,
capital of the Ukraine, swung around
the historical cathedral city and
flanked it on the west today, cut-
ting the main highway to Zhitomir,
and simultaneously smashed directly
down from the north into the north-
ern suburbs.
Eleven German strongholds, in-,
eluding the suburb of Priorka, three
miles north of Kiev, fell before the
slashing Russian offensive, Moscow
announced in its daily communique.
It was an advance of 16 miles south-
ward from Dimer, reported captured
yesterday by the Russians. Kiev is
now hemmed in on three sides, leav-
ing the Germans an escape route only
to the southeast.
Two-Pronged Attack
Beginning with a fresh assault
Thursday, the Russians attacked from
the east and the north. East of the
city Soviet troops already were only
a few hundred yards from the high
cliffs of the city, with their mortars
and guns emplaced in a marshy
Dnieper River island.
The Germans, meanwhile, ,filed
their answer to Thursday's Moscow
claims of casualties inflicted upon,
them in the Russians' successful sun-
mer and autumn offensives. The
Germans announced the Russians
lost 3,000,000 men in dead, wounded
and prisoners as against the 2,700,000
German casualties announced by the
Russians.
The Germans, in a Berlin broad-
cast of a DNB dispatch, said Soviet
casualties totalled 1,000,000 men in
the last month with 400,000 of them
in the southern Ukraine. On the
Desna and Sozh River fronts north
of Kiev the Russians lost 200,000
and west of Smolensk 340,000, DNBj
said.
