Russians yesterday and since then German resistance has been short lined. The enemy was taken in the flanks. Many Germans and Rumanians surrendered and the total of prisoners is now over 40000. The Russians raided Sebastopol heavily especially port and station. Fresh Russian crossings of the lower Dnjestr have opened the way to Southern Bessarabia. Allied air attacks were made on New Guinea beyond Wewak and also on Timor further on New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville, Truk Ponape and the Marshalls. At Ponape a tanker was sunk. In the Northern Pacific Isles North of Japan were bombed as well. General MacArthur has issued a statement that he did not seek and had not sought the office of President of the USA. On account of a dispute over Censorship Sydney was almost without newspapers this morning. The Cabinet is meeting at Canberra tomorrow. Robin Duff has completed a visit of American airfields and depots in a Fortress and described his impressions
