Mr.. Patterson said preliminary

The Navy has had dive bombers
for long time, having been among
the first to experiment with this type
combat plane. Mr.. Patterson dis
counted criticism that the Army,
perhaps had been slow in develop
ing them for its own use.
The dive bomber is not an all

cialized craft directed effectively
against moving targets, especially
when defenses are not thoroughly
organized.

From dusk 10 dawn, the See-saW

Vitebsk, strongly-held point on the
Dnepr, where central front opera

SmOlensk Not Mentioned.
There was no mention of SmolenSk

While admitting this setback. the
Russians claimed they dealt a

troops and no major operations
took place during the night except
around PskeF and Porkhov.

front, the Red Army's right flank

Russians left flank. in the Novograd
