Pointing out that while Texans

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. JANUARY 13 AND I I
Newscasts Friday that the armies
of General George Patton and the
British First Army had invaded
Yugoslavia, were still without con-
firmation Saturday.
Semi-officially the reports which
were widely circulated and publishea,
were said to be erroneous. Despite
this seemingly official denial, reports j
still persisted. They were denounc-
ed, however as Axis inspired.
The Germans were pulling out of
the southern Ukraine in what appear-
ed to be a mass retreat from Russian
soil. A new Red army offensive in
the Dneiper bend had advanced 25
miles in three days encircling the
important rail and industrial city of
Kirovograd.
Bitter fighting was in progress in
Italy. From the English bases
American airforces were over enemy
territory again Saturday in pulveriz-
ing strength.
