 the Red fleet, fighting German ships trying to enter the Gulf of Riga on the Latyian coast, sank two torpedo boats. the. Russian high command said today in a communique broad cast by the Moscow radio.
 It was asserted that on the BeS- sarabian front, where the Germans had attacked in great force with the support of Rumanians, the Axis forces had been thrown back to their original positions after suffer ing heavy losses.
 In the Novograd Volynsk sector to the north, the communique said, German motorized and mechanical forces attempted to break through during the night toward the east but all attacks were repulsed.
 This apparently would mean the end of the line to the Ukraine.
 The comgnunique said that there was heavy fighting throughout the night in the Novograd Volynsk, Os- troy, Polotsk and Lepel areas.
 Tn the Ostrov sector at the north of the line on the White Russian side of the Baltic republic frontiers, the Russians repulsed repeated Ger man motorized and mechanical at. tacks aimed at break-through to- ward the northest- est-Leningrad.
 In the Polotsk area to the south, there was also violent fighting throughout the night, the commllni- que said, and the Russians threw back with heavy losses repeated heavy losses repeated German at- tempts to cross the Dvina river.
 A statement in the early com munique was repeated that in the Lepel sector. north of Minsk. the Germans had been put on the de- fenEive as the result of Russian counter-attacks.

communiques began to talk signifl- cantly of the stubborn Russian re- sistance. Judging from today's corn- muniques, the Russians are now fighting back with some success and the air force is in evidence. The Russians at least seem to have enough planes to bomb Helsinki.
 The situation should clarify itself this week. Even though there is mo- thing to go on save the oficial com- muniques, comparison of the two should indicate the rate of German progress, or lack of 1t.
 If the Germans do not advance appreciably this week, the prospects of the Red Arrny's being able to wage . long defensive fight will seem better. The farther Hitler advances into Russia, the more difficult his communications problem will be. The Russians have 8 communities tions problem, too, but not as great as that of the Germans.

and said Nal forces had driven forward to the Dniester river. To the south, it was asserted, Russian counter-attackS were beaten of by German -Rumanian forces while to the north German troops were said to be thrusting toward the upper reaches of the Dvina river.
 Terrific fighting was in progress from the Dvina river, just south ot Dvinsk, to the region of Bobrlisk- a central sector of about 200 miles
 All along this line the Russians claimed they had brought the Ger man pa1lzer divisions to 8 stand still and in at least one sector around Lepel on the northern hinge of the front, the NaziS were said to have been forced to take the de- fense by powerful Red counter at- tackS.
 In this central sector the Ger mans appear to be attempting to break through north and south of the Borisov Srnolensk Moscow highway, presumably with the 1n- tention of converging their north and south tt1rusts beyond snlolensk, enveloping this strong point in a pincers movement.
 After old Tactics
 Success of this maneuver would enable the Nazis to repeat their favorite tactic, the encirclement of the heavy masses of Soviet troops gathered in positions from Borisov to Qrsha to Slnolensk for the de- fense of the Minsk- to- Moscow line
 The Russians reported the chief centers of battle at Ostrov, just east Of the Latvian-Russian from tier, Polotsk where German at- tempts to cross the Dvina river were reported smashed, Lepel where the Germans were said to have been forced onto the defensive Bobruisk where Nazi efforts to cross the Dnieper were said to have failed and Novograd Volynsk about about 12O miles west of Kiev where a determined German offensive into the Ukraine was in progress
 The Russian account claimed that German attempts to break through on the Novograd Volynsk front had failed. However, Berlin claimed that in this region, the ex- act point not being specified, Ger man shock troops broke through into the Stalin foytificatio1ls.
 Noyograd Volynsk lies due east of Luck and the Russians reported that the German high command shifted its chief attention to this sector after failure of efforts last week to crack through around Tar napol to the south.

ment Of space and arrangements
for an all-star rodeo and grand

tense industries in the Pacific

of men training and working at

predicts.

TO MAKE MORE
RODEO PLANS

The rodeo committee of Har-
din Post No. 8 of the American
Legion will meet tonight to dis
cuss further plans for the show
to be held here June 81 and %.
Arrangements for choosing a
rodeo queen, which will be made
at this meeting, will be an
nounced next week. Since the
Legion has not planned to hold
pre-rodeo dances this year,
some other method of election
of a rodeo queen will have to
be used.
The Legion also asks every
one to cooperate by going Wes-
tern now. Many have already
donned western regalia, and it
is hoped that Hardin may look
like a 100 per cent frontier town
soon.
The decorations will be put
up between June 8 and 10, it
was stated.
It was also announced that
the Legion is making arrange
ments to lay a temporary water
Line to the fair grounds.
