The German high command to-
night CLAIMED the capture of Khars
kov, Soviet Russia's Pittsburgh,
while furious battle, which the
Russians themselves a d mitted
might prove decisive, ragged on the
Moscow front.
A special communique, preceded
by the fanfare of trumpets herald-
ing announcements of great inn
portance, was read over the Berlin
radio stating that Kharkov and its
great steel mills had been stormcd
and occupied Friday.
Belgorod, a railway junction
town AZ miles to the northeast of
Kharkov, was captured as we'll
the communique stated.
Another Big Battle
The Soviets did not acknowledge
loss of Kharkov. 1t was asserted
that the situation in the rich
Donetz basin, of which Kharkov
is the heart, was improving after
having reached "alarming" pro-
portions early Saturday.
Soviet defenders, now under
command of the transferred Mar
shall Timoshenko, were said to be
Istiffening.
Another huge battle was in prog
fresx at The gate to the Crimea
Peninsula, the Russians said. Here,
at Perekop Isthmus, heaps of Ger
man dead were piling up as their
furious assaults were halted, ac-
cording to the Soviet spokesman.
The gigantic battle along the
approaches to Moscow. working up
to a climax OF fury. completed the
picture of incredibly bloody con-
flict. The Soviet newspaper Pravda
warned that the Nazis were SWING
ing into their decisive battle.
Moscow 'Blitxed'
Needless of the cost, the Ger.
mans were hurting repeated
heavy punches" at the Moscow
defense lines, Tass said. At the
same time, the Nazi luftwaffs
was raining terrific "blitz" bomb
ing raids on the threatened cap
ital. Twenty-four Nazi bombers
were said to have been shot down
in mass raids Friday night.
Meanwhile. the Japanese press
assumed sharply antagonistic
tone toward the United States de-
handing that all American aid to
embattled Russia be stopped and
denouncing Secretary of the9 Naxy
Frank Knox for his declaration
that a collision between the two
nations was inevitable IL Nippon
persisted in her present course.
President Roosevelt voiced .the
strongest possible condemnation
of Nazi Germany for the execu-
ton of hundreds of hostages In
reprisal for assassination of Nazis
in occupied countries.
Fascist Shakeup
In don, Prime Minister
Churchill issued a statement along
the same lines.

tons of Innocent people will
only recoil upon the savages

declared.

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE"

The news brings yoriotion on the

down his house to get rid Of the rots.

she didn't like the furnishings. Before

isn't similar incendiorism the chief req

The New York girl had been study

furniture, colorful curtains, she had
become disconnected with the drobness
at home. had urged q change upon her
porents Unsuccessful, she resorted to
extreme measures. But who will cost
the first stone? The man who would
coll in dictator because Congress
talks SO much? The man who demands
censorship because free speech is obus-
ed? Or the woman who loses interest in
her church because "Mory Jones tries
to run things? Or the citizen who op-
poses Aldermen Brown because me
wouldn't give our Joe q job?"
Shall we hear first from the Senote
who would let Britain sink because
there ore bIots on her colonial record.
Or from the college president who
wouldn't risk war to defend democracy
in the world because it is imperfect in
America? Or the reader who drops his
Paper because Of some orticle2 Or the
voter who is "oein" Henry White rather
than for George Black? Or the industri-

fears the rise of labor? Or the worker
who hompers defense in resentment
