Allied Forces Invade Albania Accompanied by Adriatic Army; Russians Sweep Close to Riga
(International News Service)
Allied airborne and seaborne forces invaded Albania today with an appreciable army of "man forces of the Adriatic."
The Adriatic army, established four months ago, swept into Albania after Allied and partisan forces accomplished the liberation of the Dalmatian island off the coast of Yugoslavia just north of Albania.
This thrust is aimed at a junction of American and British forces and the Yugoslavian partisan army.
seized a five-mile sector along the west bank of the Maas river from Boxneer north toward Nijmegen, and fought bitterly to widen and extend their corridor through the Netherlands. Eisenhower Withdraws
In the face of unsubstantiated German claims that they had completely annihilated the Allied first airborne division, General Eisenhower today announced withdrawal of the beleaguered and hard-pressed units to the south bank of the lower Rhine.
Their heroic nine-day stand, Eisenhower emphasized, may prove one of the turning points of the war as it enabled other units to capture the great steel and concrete bridge over the Waal river at Nijmegen.
Along the rest of the western front from the Netherlands south to Luneville, headquarters reported patrol activity with few changes in position as the news blackout concealed activities of the third and seventh armies in the more southern sector. Russians Near Riga

Washington (INS)—The office of war information today announced that American military and naval leaders believe it will take a minimum of one and one-half to two years after the defeat of Germany to completely smash the Japanese military machine.
A later report from Secretary of the Navy James B. Forrestal indicated that the highest priority has been given to the construction of new types of assault transports capable of moving troops and equipment.
At the same time the OWI declared that, "despite America's sea supremacy in the Pacific over the badly battered enemy fleet, there is a possibility of sporadic raids by the Japanese on our west coast."

In addition, the freshmen will be required to walk on the south side of the street between classes. These rules will continue until Christmas vacation.
The caps will arrive sometime next week. The K-Club will then give proper notice as to where they will be distributed and when this process of freshman indoctrination will begin.
George Dick, president of the K-Club, announced that discharged veterans will not be required to participate in this freshman training. However, Dick said that the club would like to have them comply with the tradition if they wish.
The K-Club also discussed the possibility of requiring fresh women to wear some sort of freshman identification. An investigation will be made and reported at the next meeting.
For those who do not want to take part, Prof. Leonard H. Axe will distribute veteran's identification cards in room 1-A, Frank Strong hall. These should be carried at all times on the campus in case of questioning by a K-Club member.
