 German rapid troops led by motorcyclists rocketing across the Ukraine were re- ported today to have cut off the Crimea in what appeared to be a lightning drive by land, sea and air against stubborn Russian defenses all around the Black Sea. The Germans, as reported from Berlin and London, directed one thrust against the Red army lines east of Kiev, and another Cor per- haps several into the south Ukraine to cut off the narrow isthumus lead. ing to the Crimea, while Q third phase indicated preparations TOT Black Sea operations from . western coast base such as Bulgaria.
 According to the Berlin version, the land campaign already has made important progress, slicing rapidly through Russian defense lines in the flat country leading to the Soviet'S greatest war iia- dustrial centers and apparently en- circling some 300,o00 enemy troops in lightning advances by tanks and motorcycle units.
 Berlin 10 Emphatic
 The greatest emphasis in Berlin was placed on the encircling oper. ations east of Kiev, which presuIn- ably now Is caught or almost caught within the German pincers. Three Russian armies east of Kicv also were said by Berlin to be caught in the giant pircers and 1t was indicated that whole statfs" of Russian formations had been en. trapped.
 At the same time. the Germans reported the Luftwaffe had bombed Moscow, Odessa and Len!ngrad. where meager reports indicated that a tremendous battle for the second city of Russia continued uiiabated.
 In the Black Sea, the Luftwaffe was reported striking at Russian transports, supply ships and naval units and Russian relations with Bulgaria appeared to be at the breaking point as a result of Ger man use of Bulgarian bases. A break may come over the Bulgarian re- quest to Turkey for permission for so-called Bulgarian warsnips to pass through the Dardanelles into the Black sea--a mbethod being used by the Axis in an effort to get Italian warships through the straits despite the Montreaux treaty ban on use of the Dardanelles by bel- Ngerent warships.

 Despite the boards action, Mir Harmonay planned to continue plumbing operation at the housing projects, leaving the next step up to the city. He had local license as master plumber, while MT. Engel was licensed as journeyman. Re- vocation of their licenses was re- commanded by Plumbing Inspector James R. Walker, whose complaint also led to the arrest of nine men two weeks ago on charges that they were acting as plumbers at the housing sites though they had no licenses. The nine will be tried In city court Saturday.

 Mir. Harnaonay told the board that ma q contractor he had to follow the plans and specifications givnai him by the government. He delayed starting work for several weeks, he said, in arl effort to have the plans changed to conform with the city plumbing code but was unSuccess- ful.
