T0DAY'S WAR MOVES
BY UNITED PRESS

Comparison of the conflict
ing war communiques indi-
Gates that the Germans in
their mighty drive have adj
vanced at some points as
much as 200 miles from the
starting point on the divided
Polish border into Russia
proper to Minsk.
How sVer. the delay in issuing
the German high commands much
herslded victory" oommunique
and its tone when issued suggests
that the Germans have not made
the lightning progress they ex-
pected and are looking forward TO
further fierce resistance by the
Russians.
The Russians are fighting a
campaign of defense and Of slow
strategic Withdrawal over a front
q about 4 so5 miles from the north
Of Finland 10 the Black sea. In
military sense, II Is not a front
but series of fronts.
FORCED TO SCATTER BLOWS
There Is no main Russian army
on which the Germans can con-
oentrate. The Germans are forced
10 scatter their blows. At this
rate. the Russians may be able
to sustain long campaign and
retreat step by step deeper into
Russia, making II increasingly diff
ficult for he attacker a. his com
munication lines lengthen.
Much depends on how near
the truth are the German
claims Of heavy Russian losses
of tanks. planes and guns.
The Germans claimed the de-
struction or capture Of 2.2ss
r. ssian tanks and 4.10T
planes. The Russians admit
ted the loss Of $50 tanks and
200 planes. The truth may
lie somew here between the
figures.
II the German figures were ac-
curate and losses continued. the
Russians would soon be in an al
most hopeless position. without
sufficient tanks. planes and guns.
their manpower would be of no
help.
However, the result Of the FIRST
week Of the war could not be called
decisive The Russians apparently
are putting up much better fight
than the Germans mad expected.
They are even trying to drive be-
hind the advance German Panzer
units in some sectors In an effort
10 cut them off from the main
forces.

Skiing 10
 Be Ideal
 On Sunday

With the snow storm abated which hampered vision for skiers last Sunday, the conditions are very promising for excellent skiing to- morrow.
 It is hoped that the ski tow will be in full operation offering an op- pCrtunity for as many downhill runs as skiers may desire. Every che making the trip to the second meadow should remember to take ski tow fare which will be 40 cents fer ski members and 55 cents for ncn-members for the entire day. Junior skiers will be admitted to ride for g cents.
 The program for the day will include simple slalom running for women and girls who wish to pre- pare for the various ski trophys to be awarded this season.
 Those interested in photography are reminded that for action on snow, skiing will offer unlimited possibilities.

 Over at the Department of Agriculture, the experts are stay ing up nights trying to figure out what all of this will mean to their program and how long they can zcep public squawks and Price Hawk Leon Henderson from add ing further complications.
 The greatest puzzlement at the moment is over the butter situa- ten. Local butter consumption is up about. 15 percent since year ago, 1t is true, but stocks on hana arc twice what they were last year. there's no export demand, and dur ing the months when butter should go down, it skyrocketed to 20 per cent over last years June prices Their only -the-record guess is that maybe spectators have gotten into the churn.

FEDERAL LAND
 OFFICE CHIEFS
 LEAVE BY PLANE

Leaving here by plane today were H. s. Price, chief of the range de- velopment service, and Robert K. Coote, chief of the land classifi- cation division, both from the De- partment of Interiors General Land Office at Washington, D. C., following about six weeks investi- gational work throughout the Ter ritory.
 Price has been principally inter- ested in conservation measures in which the land office might engage i in Alaska, he stated. He has in vestigated possibilities of reforesta- tion, re-seeding in forest areas, des- truction of noxious weeds, erosion control and watershed protection 'n public lands.
 Coote has been studying Alas lan problems in land classifying and measuring. He has gone over work done by land classifying party from the land office now working in the Matanuska Valley and Susitna Valley. He has also made a survey of land classification on the Kenai Peninsula and the Fairbanks area, as far north as the Yukon.

Don't think, though, that John ny Farmer and the bigger butter and egg men have been asleep. By June, they had almost met Wick ards challenge to increase milk production three percent and there only remained the kinks of di- verting the needed milk products (like skim milk which ordinarily $ fed to hogs and calves) to new demand channels.
 Increasing the egg supply imme- diately isn't easy, but already they have tossed nearly three percent more eggs into the market than in the first part Of 1940 (Wickard l only asked for six percent more in 15 months). And there are two statistical points which indicate Johnny Farmer is even ahead of the Department of Agriculture. Come June, he had eight percent more chicks bobbing around the oarnyard and had doubled his or lers, over year ago, for chicks Co be delivered in late summer and early fall.
 Adding all of it up, it seems to come down to the fact that agri- culture experts needn't star [ matching gray hairs until the pub lie and price control agencies be- in a pincers movement on rising consumer costs. Until then, their only worry will be trying to ex- plain to the surplus crop farmers why so many of their butter-and- egg neighbors are moving to the Gold Coast.
