Samos Captured
•Germans Claim
LONDON, Nov. 22—P—A Ger-
man broadcast said it had just been
announced in Berlin that the is-
qpland of Samoa capitulated to Ger-
man forces this morning. Samoa is
the next to the last Aegean Island
that had been held by the Allies.
Castelrosso, easternmost of the
Dodecanese, is still believed in Al-
■lied hands.
Samos, a Greek island Just north
of the Dodecanese and near the
Turkish-coast, had been under Ger-
man attack at least since Saturday,
■according to Ankara radio broad-
casts .
The Germans, obviously hint-
ing that the British were mak-
ing attempts to withdraw from
the island, said yesterday that
4 the first refugees from the is-
land had arrived In Turkey.
Leros, 20 miles south of Samos,
fell to the Germans Nov. 16 after

leading to the Rome-Pescara high-
way.
The new gains, putting the left

Nazi Armor
Thrust Back
MOSCOW, Nov.' 22.—(UP)
—The Red army has wrested
'he initiative from the Ger-
mans in the Zhitomir sector
of the Ukraine to capture
three villages and two com-
manding heights, front dis-
patches reported today, and
the tide of battle once more
is flowing westward.
Gen. Nikolai F. Vatutin's left
wing, after being on the defen-
sive eight days and losing Zhit-
omir. again was fighting the
battle its own way with every
promise of wiping out the first
Russian reverses since last July.
Fresh Red army tanks and sup-
porting units swarmed into the
struggle along the Soviet flank in
the Zhitomir - Korostyshev area
They tackled the German armor
In a series of stiff engagements,
beat back the panzer with terrific
losses, they launched their own at-
tack to improve their positions sub-
stantially.

morning on Gasmata, on New
Britain's south-central coast
scoring accurately on the target
area and leaving a heavy pall
of smoke over the entire sector
as they completed their mission
without interception.
On New Guinea, as on Bougain-
ville to the East, resistance both
on the ground and in the air was
described by Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur as strong, but Australian
troops, supported by Matilda light
tanks which seem more at home on
the flatness ol a desert than in
soggy Jungle, were putting a squeze
on the Japanese along the Huon
peninsula.
Tank-led columns were moving
up the main trail more than a mile
east of Sattelberg after the slowly
retreating enemy.
On Bougainville, Japan s last re-
maining major base in the Solo-
mons, the Americans who landed at
Empress Augusta bay Nov. 1 have
enlarged and consolidated their
positions despite harassing bombing
and strafing opposition and now are
for large land forces and too bare to provide much cover.
Resistance on Tarawa, main enemy base in the Gilberts
which Japan seized from Britain two years ago, was strong.
Opposition on Makin, a seaplane base, was moderate.
Admiral Chester Nimitz's drive complemented the con-
tinuing offensive of Gen. MacArthur and Admiral Halsey
in the Southwest Pacific. On Bougainville in the Solomons,
U. S. forces enlarged and consolidated their bridgehead at
empress Augusta Bay. On New Guinea, the Australians lash-
ed at the Japanese with tanks within a mile of Sattleberg.
Both prongs of MacArthur's pincers threatened the great
base of Rabaul on New Britain, the southern end of which
was pulverized with a record
load of 138 tons of bombs
dumped on Gasmata. Japanese
opposition on land and in the
air increased.
