 Collective farmers who have been armed In the Lwow region captured Q group of Germans yesterday and reported that they were dressed in Soviet police uniforms and equipped with trade union tickets and type- writers, the newspaper quoted Spirin as saying.
 splrin said also that, unlike France or Holland, the Germans sent into Russia were unable to contact local aides since the Fascists In Soviet territory "already have been wiped out" The Red army methods of com batting such tactics, he said, are 10 times as effective as any previously used and the Germans will never succeed with such methods.
 On the Bessarablan front, all at- tacks by German and Rumanian forces were thrown back, 1t was aS- serted.
 Planes Bomb Bucharest
 Russian planes bombed Bucharest the Rumanian capital; set fire to oil reflneries in 0 big attack in the ploesti oil fields region, and bombed Conztanza, the Rumanian naval base, and Iasi, on the Pruth river section of the Rumanian border.
 The communique noted that the German air force displayed no par. ticular activity yesterday and sait that German fighter planes offered but weak resistance to Russian bombing planes. Estimates of thu Russian and German airplane losseS were being tabulated, the commu' nlque said.
 Apparently this was an implicit denial of German statements tha' Leingrad had been bombed heavil, yesterday.
 The communique, issued by tn, Soviet information bureau through the offlcial news agency Tass, said Fighting Going On During June 26 in the Minsk d. rection our troops fought infiltrat' ing enemy tank units. Fighting | in progress.

SIX DROWNED AT l VACATION ZONES
Bodies of Two Brothers Are Being Sought as Po'
 lice Drag Lake

Boston, June 27-tUP)-The bod. les of two brothers believed drowned in Lake Quannapowitt, Wakefield. were sought by police dragging crews today. Elsewhere in the stata there were four drownings including three youths related by marriage.
 Police were virtually certain that Raymond Aldersley, 28, of Chelsea and his eight-year brother James, Jr., had drowned In Lake Ouannapowitt where their empty saiiboat was found beached. The parked car of the older Aldersley, Q motion picture operator, was found nearby.
 Drowned in Plymouth harbor when an overloaded rowboat cap- sized were three Everett men, John Doherty, 27, father of three chil. dren; Leon Doherty, i8, brother Of Johns wife, and Antone Stafonwic, %, husband of another sister of Leon, Rescued while clinging to the overturned craft was Joseph Do- herty, 10, brother of John.
 The four men had started on Q fishing trip from the cottage where John Dcherty and stafonwic were spending their vacations with their wives. Leon Doherty started to swim to shore to get aid for his comrades but sank. St afonwic's grip on the overturned boat slack ened and he sank from sight, and in an attempt to save him John Doherty lost his own life.
 The sixth drowning victim was Albert Boudreau, IS, of Boston whose kayak overturned on the Charles river apparently in the wash os . HnAAahaAk

 m the passarahlan sector our troops are firmly holding the state frontier, repulslng attacks of Ger man and RumanlAn troops, The enemy, who attempted Co advance near Skulenl sustained heavy losses and were repulsed to the west bank of the pruth river.
 Attacks Repuised
 CThe Russian communlque has said explicitly each day that all at tacks on the Bukovina- BeSSAraoaa front have been repulsed. It Is hn- piled that the Germans and Ru. manlans have made no progress here).
 During the day our force bombed Bucharest, ploesti and ConEstan1A, The oil reflneries in the area ot PloeSti are burning.
 "At the Soviet Finnish frontier no encounters of land troops took place June 26.
 "In the Baltic sea our air force and light naval forces saIlk two en- emy submarines.
 During June % the enemy air force displayed no particular ae- tivity. Enemy fighters offered weak resistance to our bomhers, The num- Der of destroyed enemy aircraft and our losses are being established.
 "Rumanian war prisoners state that In each Rumanian regiment there are 70 German soldiers and officers because the German corn- mand does not trust the Rumanian soldiers, As Q rule German artil- lery is placed in the rear of Ru- manian troops. The Germans force the Rumanians to fight because the Rumanian soldiers are opposed to war and to the Germans.
 Tt has been established that groups of the enemy clad In Red army uniforms appeared in certain sectors of the front In White Rus- sia. Thanks of the vigilance of our troops this imposition of the per- fidious enemy was exposed in time and the divresionist groups were ans initiated or captured.
 "For espionage purposes the en- emy landed several groups of four to six parachutists with wireless stations on territory of Soviet White Russia. All these paraohutists were caught by local residents and hand. cd over to military authorities.

 Ickes assailed Lindbergh and his followers aS "Nazi wolves in Paci- fists clothing" He described him as "Our knight of the German Eagle" and asserted that The and his crowd make no pretense to bee ing PaeificiSts, although they are for Q Hitler peace and are against Q peace written by the DemocracieS.
 Situation Serious
 "The situation is 90 serious" Ickes said, that if America does not quickly 90 all.out for Britain, Amer. lea may find herself all.in-without Britain
 Soviet union- United States collab- oretion against Germany was de- fined after 6 state department con- ference between Acting Secretary Sumner Welles and Constantine Ou- mansky, Russian ambassador. Wellea yesterday also saw w. Bostrom. Swedish minister. who informed the department of Sweden's permission for c division of German troops to pass through that country from Norway to Finland. Hjalmar Pros cope, Finnish minister, called on Weiles and emerged smiling, al- though 1t was assumed that he went to advise that Finland was ct war with Russia.
 There was speculation whether Finnish and Swedish funds in the United States, now free under 2 gen. eral withdrawal license, would Do re- frozen in view of their direct or ia- direct aid to Germany.
 OumanSky visited the state depart. ment to announce formally that Germany he'd attacked his country but 1t was not revealed whether he had asked for aid from the United States. In Q brief statement, Ou. mansky said that Welles made 1t clear that all questions deriving from the German attack on the sov- let Union will receive the immediate and friendly attention of the United States government" The phraseol- ogy of that Statmeent, nj fact, liSn- tied the partnership between Mos- COW and Washington strictly to those problems arising from the Red army's effort to check and defeat Hitier's forces. It appeared that Welles was careful to put such limits on his proffer Of collaboration.
 Oumansky said Welles also gave him a clear statement regarding flu. ture Soviet Union- United States re. iations which, apparently will be close and friendly on ell phases of Moscow's battle against Germany. The ambassador was assured that any request for assistance would be given iminedite attention-although It is known that the country's muni. tons production already is commit ted for months in advance to British

 Hartford, Conn, June 27-(UP)- Herbert Agar, editor of the Louis- vile, Ky, Courier Journal, speaking at 6 Committee to Defend America rally last night with Secretary of Interior Harold L. Iekes, urged this country immediately participate in the European war.
 T urge war on you, immediate war, complete war;" he declared, "lest by delaying and losing this op- portunity to strike now, we commit millions of our youth to long, dreary war of defense"
 Agar said "All argument whether we should go in or stay out Of war is nonsense. You can't go In or stay out of c world revolution. You can only give In, or fight"
 Hitler, said the editor, thinks the United States Is too stupid to save itself, even in the last ditch" and he "contemptuously turns his back on us to finish Russia before making war on us."
 Gov. Robert 4. Hurley said he was grateful that Russia, until last week first In the ranks Of the ap. peasers, has been invaded.
 "The lesson to us and to the rest of the world will Do worth oil the suffering and destruction brought about by the new war in the east" he declared. "Appeasement does not pay,'

 Q. (oJ Is the revenue collected from parking meters ear~marked and placed ln . separate fund, or is it placed In tho general fund ok the eityS
 fA) All monies are placed la tho general fund of the city.
 To questions 70, n, i2 and lS, Corporation Counsel Lynch answers collectively. The questions are:
 10. What are the expenses, tf any, connected with the malntenance Of meters3
 Il. Itsmiae and state amounts of expenses,
 i2. If there are any other charges, ltemise and state the amounts of each.
 lS, Give the names of any parties receiving disbursements for the up. keep and maintenance of the meters.
 (Answer) There ere many ex- penses connected with the opera ton of the meters, and parking and traffic control. The largest single expense is the rent Of the meters. Up to April 90, the city had paid the M. H. Rhodes Co.,, | @0,4el.04 rent. In addition, it has paid, during the period from Jan- uary to May 1, three traffic poe licemen, whose principal duty is pa. trolling meters, @i,776.76. Many other policemen were paid, . large part of whose duty consists of traf- flo and parking control. This ex- penSe iS extremely difficult to al. locate, but certainly at least 6 pa- trolmen spend two-thirds of their time on such service, at . cost of $2,346.00. The salary Of the collec- tor and maintenance man, August Rlnaldl, plus the expense for the automobile used by him end a part time assistant, amounts to 9l,b27 .26. In addition 1t was necessary to purchase coin counting machine for 9426.00 built on office for the counting of the money for 97B.00, and purchase tools for repairing meters, 97.o0, There are many oth- or incidental expenses propegly chargeable to traffic and parking regulation, including the removing of snow from parking areas, and tho painting of lines and signs. The defendant reserves the right to claim any and oil expenses related to this matter whether or not they are inadvertently omitted from these responses.
 i4. (o) What Is the method by which the city pays the manufact- urer paid for the general funds of the city, or directly from meter re venues?
 10. (c) If revenue is placed !n Q special fund, is the manufacturer paid from this fund9
 Answer to questions i4, i6 and i6: The rent to the manufactures Is paid directly from the general fund of the city by check in the usual manner in which oil the cityS oh. ligations are paid.
 i7. (Q) state the total amount collected by the city from the date of installation of the meters to date of this molten (May 2D of revenue received from all city meters. (A) The total amount collected by the city from January l to May 1 was $8,e65.o2.
 iS. (cj If parking meters are SC. gregated according to zones, state total receipts or revenues received from each meter zone within the city.
 (A) Receipts from parking mes ter0 arc not segregated according to zones, although for collection pur- poses, tho parking meters are dlv' ided into zones, and tho daily re- ceipts would indicate the zones from which such receipts were re. celved. Such information sees1aa immaterial.

It added that though Eus. sian troops had offered tenacious resistance they were being pushea backed constantly by German rapid troops who, with infantry following them, had penetrated deep into Rus. sian territory.
 Official news agency dispatches said tho German air force had at. tackled . large number Of Russian airports and destroyed many grounded planes and installations and shot down many Russian planes In cir fights. .
 Continuing cooperation with the ground force, the agency said, Ger man planes made ferocious attacks on Russian tank concentrations and heavy motorized columns. Tn one region many trucks and tanks and several heavy guns were reported destroyed.
 British Planes Bomb
 It was said that British planes had bombed the Schlesw!g. Holstein, Rhine and Westphalian industrial regions during the night. The Brit' is3 planes caused some nor.iil' !tary damage and limited injuries to personS"; the official agency said, and ono British plane was shot down.
 German insormants warned against believing that delay in do. taillng German successes against Russia meant that the German drive had begged down.
 Optimism among ordinary Ger mans was based on the assurances of the high command that Germany Was winning, or confidence in the army and It's leaders, and on dis dain for the Russian army. It was based partly on rumors Of "prodig' ious" victories.
 The latest statement by an au- thorized military spokesman was merely that the German forces had achieved 50 fer 70 noteworthy cd. vantage"
 Russians Are Fighting
 Dispatches from correspondents said that the Russians were fight ing with great courage ct many places.
 NO one will Do tempted to close his eyes to the difficulties Of the fight" the Nazi party newspaper Voeiklscher Beobachter said.
 It added, however, that the dis. tances to be tranSversed should not be cver- -estimated in view Of the speed of . mechanised army and that Napoleon's campaign could hardly Do compared with this one.
