The communique, recorded by The Soviet Monitor, indicated that the last thin lines of Germs-n de- fences had crumbled and in at least one sector the Russians were hotly pursuing fleeing Nazis who aban- doned artillery, machine-guns and vast piles of ammunition in a re-

treat that a reached being a rout. Tho Berl radic announced early today:-

"It was learned from informed quarters here that German troops have evacuated Orel.”

Quoting the German news a en- ey D.N. ., the radio continu :—-

“German lines have been slid i0 have been taken back behind the remnants of the city of Orel.

"German units were in a P05111011 to dlseng e themselves from the enemy an took u previously pre- pared more favora le )0Sii-iOIlS.

"The evacuation too place ac- cording to plan. The flanks of the Orel arch have been shortened and strong Russian attacks smashed- All military and important indus- trial establishments have been evacuated.

"The enemy did not find out about the takin back of the 901111!" forces. O y several hours after the evacuation movements had taken place did they git out feelers a’; gainst the new erman posit-ii?!“-

The German account of an 0i‘- derly withdrawal did not jibe with the Soviet commands announce- ment that the Red Army was K18111- ing the Germans in the streets 0f the cltv and that vast. quuflI-lblfi material were captured outside the city as the Soviet forces purified "the retreating enemy.

Doubts Germzms Ban Hold Balkans

CAIRO, Aug. t-AAZQ-Gen. Sir Maltland Wilson, British Coni- mander-ln-Chlei of the Middle East. expressed dpubt today that the Germans could hold the Balk- ans with heir present forces in the event of an Italian collapse but was oi tile opinion that they would try as long as possible.

In answer to a question about speedy occupation of the Balkans, Sir Maitlanil. who was command- er of -British lforces in Greece in 191i, cautloned:—

"We can't use o. magic carpet to get tncre!’

Changed conditions will require a vast reorganization in the Mid- die East, he explained, saying the main role of the Middle East of the present stage of the war is to suppy the North African striking forces.

“As long as Gen. Eisenhower wants our resources they are at his disposal." the General said. "We have a certain number of forces which can be used for oc-

cupation purposes "
