German base in the Caucasus the Berlin radii) acknowledged Sunday night and the soviet midnight communique said that an attacking red army had improved its positions in that area It was the first time Berlin had disclosed the nearness of the Russians to Novorossisk A trans ocean broadcast recorded by the Associated Press reported that the red army was "In possession of particularly good and strong positions in the rocky mountains around the town" The Russians weeks ago had reported the capture of Abinskaya 20 miles northeast of Novorossisk and Anastasevskaya 33 miles to the north but soviet bulletins since have been confined to telling of a steady repulse of German counterattacks made in such strength as to indicate a nsajor enemy effort to extend the constricted foothold in the Caucasus Fighting on that front Sunday was mostly aerial combat said the midnight Russian communique recorded by the soviet monitor but one red army ground detachment was said to have improved its position after a stubborn battle Eighteen German planes were reported shot down in combat and red airmen also "scored direct hits on German planes and observed explosions" in a raid on an enemy airdrome By
