Douglas Fairbanks, jr., President
Roosevelts cultural ambassador
bearer of good will to South AM

States cannot stress too much the
real danger of Nazi propaganda
there"
The actor arrived aboard a Pan

Guiding a two month tour of South
America. Mrs. Fairbanks, Edward
H. Robbins of the Nelson Rookie
feller committee for coordination OF
cultural relations between the Am

aboard the airplane.
Fairbanks said he found in South

ing attacks along the front, inclu-
ding the sector near Brody which
protects the road to Liev. and Rus
sian planes also were credited with
damaging Bucharest and Ploesti in
the Rumanian oil fields.
The new positions taken up by
the Russians on the north and
central sectors were not specified,
but the communique admitted the
loss of Wilma and Siaulai in Lithu-
ania and of the Baranoyichi area
in former Poland.
German sources in Berlin claimed
the bulk of Russian tanks and
motorized equipment already had
been largely put out of action while
the Luftwaffe claimed air superior
ity all along the front, thus leav-
ing the main Russian defense in
the hands of infantry.
Unofficial German sources which
in the past have given foreign COR
respondents reason TO trust their
information on military operations,
reported the Nazi hammer blows
against Rus a n communication
lines were producing results as they
did in Belgium. France and Jugo-
slavia.
These sources claimed that some
Soviet army corps had been cut off
from communication with neigh
boring corps and with Moscow
which, if confirmed, would mean
the first vital step toward creating
chaos such as wrecked the allied
defenses in France. The German
panzer columns. aided by the Luft-
waffe's dive bombers, have thrust
deep wedges into the Russian front,
it was added. emphasizing that the
main purpose of the Nazi offensive
is to destroy the Russian army
as a military force than to win and
try to hold Russian territory.
Comparison of the German and
Soviet communicates left no doubt
that the Nazi mechanical forces
had made important advances to-
ward the pre-war Russian border,
but left uncertain the exact posi-
ton of the fighting front and the
ability of the Germans TO maintain
their columns against Russian coun-
ter-attacks.

than $4,000 to insure the ship for
merely the first minute off the
ground. But the engineers calcula-
tions proved correct
1t had been feared than an un-
usually long run would be required
TO lift the ship. The runway had
been heightened, cutting across sew
eral streets in the vicinity. The
plane was kept light, SO it weighed
only a little more than half of the
80 tons which is its weight fully
loaded.
But the plane skinned along for
only 1000 feet of the concrete strip
before it rose. The take-off was
timed at II seconds after Major
Umstead started the ship down the
runway.
With a brisk sea breeze to help
the bomber gained altitude quickly
and scared out over the Pacific
ocean in a great turn.
A squadron of six P-40 pursuit
ships. from Hamilton Calf. closed
In formation about the giant plane.
The fighting ships had orders to
keep all other aircraft one mile
away from the Big, and it was
announced that "these orders mean
business" The army was taking
no chances of its pilots aboard the
new ship becoming involved in air
traffic
The group in the sky resembled
a hen and flock of chicks as the
giant plane and her convoy of tiny
fighters wheeled and came back over
Clover field at about $500 feet.
Roaring as no other plane did be-
fore, the great bomber headed in
land toward March Field, army air
port near. Riverside, Calf, approx
mately 60 miles away.

Drive on Russia
History's Biggest
Military Move

Continued from Page One)
ing his main drive from East Prus-
s;a and central Poland, north and
south of the extensive Pripet marsh
es. Communiques from both sides
and other information indicate that
the German thrust is towards Minsk
capital of White Russia, on the road
which Napoleon took to Moscow.
H:tler's object seemingly is to
take Moscow and thus politically
disrupt the Soviet Union. Militarlly
his aim would be to scatter and dis
organize the Red army.making sub
sequent operations mere job OF
mopping up.
Hitler's comparatively perfunctory
operations in the south between the
Prut and Dniester rivers in BeSS-
arabia. suggests that he may be al
lowing the Russians to hold their po-
sitionS there for a future trap. En-
circlement is the favorite tactic
of the German high command, If
the drive in the center succeeds, the
German forces then could sweep
southwark beyond Kiev and have
the southern Russian forces caught
like fish in a net.
If Hitler's plans are on the grand
scale suggested, and if the Russian
army does not crack sooner than
expected, the campaign should be
a long one. Only compromise by
Stain could end it, and that ap-
pears improbable. The assumption
is that Stain will resist as long as
his armed forces hold out.
