WdlUeT bdlIOu, SECRETARY OI IL {
state highway commission, n d
Commissioner Bert Vaughn of ia
cumba, conferred with Holtville and
Ell Centro citizens, dined in Mexicali
and then lett Tor Sacramento.
Concensus of opinion am o n g
those with whom Clark conferred was
that the director felt an underpass
at Main street was out of the
question, and suggested widening
the Commercial street crossing at
grade, running the highway out
Commercial to the Dogwood and
connecting with highway 30. He
also appeared to favor widening
Fouth street and bringing the high
way into Ell Centro from the west
on Adams avenue.
Chief feature of Clark's hasty
visit was confusion. He stopped
first at the California hotel where
he met city officials including City
Councilman Herbert Fawcett, then
went to the Barbara Worth where
he was met, apparently by pre-
arrangement, by delegation of
Holtville citizens led by Mark Rose.
Later, several automobile loads
visited the Main street site and
inspected the Commercial street
crossing by flashlight after which
Clark expressed himself as firmly
opposed to the underpass plan.
Holtvilles connection with the Ell
Centro project was not fully ex-
planned.

many is developing its main attack
against Russia along a 400 mile
front between d-Lithuania and
southeastern Poland, but is meeting
with stiffening resistance and the
Russians are nter-attackiug at
the northernend of the front, dis
patches indicated today.
Some reports put the Germans
near the Latvian frontier in a drive
from east Prussia through Lithu-
ania, and said that the Germany
were making important gains in
their drive into the Ukraine from
Rumania.
Reports that the Russians were
oounter-attacking strongly in the
north caused military experts to
suggest that the Russians would
seek to develop an offensive in the
north while they make a strategic
withdrawal in the south.
Experts have long believed that
in a German attack on the Uk-
raine the Russians would use de
fense-in-depth tactics, to draw the
Germans on until their supply lines
became over-eXtended.
The experts had believed that
the Russians would Use German

to continue Britain's night and day
aerial offensive against Germany
and German occupied territory.
Great explosions were heard from
the British side soon after the planes
had crossed, indicating that the
raid was a big one.
During the night planes of the
coastal command had made one of
their biggest attacks of the war on
the French invasion coast.
A fleet of long range planes OF

Only on one point were Dotn tne'
Nazi and Soviet reports agreed
that two of the worlds biggest
armies were coming to grips in a
conflict that ragged intensely along
a 1850 mile front.
Neither Moscow nor Berlin re-
ported developments on the central
front in Poland. Both sides claimed
important successes in the air and
the Nazi high command said great
military successes could now be eX-
pected as a result of favorable pro-
gress on the 1,250-mile eastern
front. The air offensive resulted in
series of Russian attacks on Hell
sinki airport and other Finnish
towns. where the Finnish govern
ment said 20 Red planes were shot
down after the bombardments start
ed big fires, killed two civilians and
wounded many others. The Finnish
parliament met in secret session,
presumably to declare a state OF
war with Russia, but dispatches
from Helsinki did not confirm Ger
man statements that the Firms al
ready were fighting with the Nazis.
The Swedish government was un-
derstood to be issuing formal
statement declaring its intention OF
remaining neutral at all costs.
Entry of Finland into the war
renewing the conflict won by Rus
sia in 1940-emphasized the German
determination to strike at the in
dustrial city of Leningrad, which
was indirectly reported to have been
heavily bombed and fired by Nazi
planes. Russian defenses on the Ka-
relian Isthmus, however, were be-
lieved to have provided a strong
barrier on the 7O-mile road from
Finland to Leningrad
The only operations officially re-
ported in the far north was Ger
man thrust on Tuesday across the
Finnish border in the Kuolajervi
district, not far from Salla, far tc
the north of Helsinki. Moscow re-
ported the thrust repulsed. One Of
four German planes that bombec
the Soviet Kandalaksja district
near the Arctic ocean, was reported
shot down.
In the south, the Red army re-
ported that it had hurled back with
severe losses various German -Prus.
