 Assembly o. K.

No action by any city board is re- quired to begin paying to Mrs. Kath- ryn B. Lynch, widow of Fire Chief Thomas J. Lynch, the pension di- rected by the 194i General Assem- ply, Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch said today. He was asked for an opinion after Q number of per- sons had Speculated on why the fire board took no action on the Lynch pension yesterday afternoon though 1t did vote the legislature approved full-pay pension for Pri- vate Harold Parker.
 According to the corporation counsel, the only procedure ne:es- sary is for him to write to the treas- urer of the firemen's pension fund, notifying him that the legislature has directed a $500 annual pension for Mrs. Lynch. Monthly pay- ments, MT. Lynch said, will start Aug. 1.
 The corporation counsel said he had not received official notifica- ton of the passage of the Lynch pension bill and its signing by the governor until yesterday.
 The bill was opposed by the city administration, which claimed it would set a bad precedent. How ever, through the efforts of Senat tors Edward P. Egan and Michael V Blansfield, who felt that 1t was worthy of support, the biiI was brought out of committee in the closing days of the session and passed in the upper chamber.

SKILL OF PILOT
 SAVED 7 PERSONS
Landing Gear Had Buckled So He Was Forced to
 Crash Landing

Los Angeles, July 17.-Seven per- sons today thanked the skill of the pilot for saving their lives when the landing gear of the transport plane in which they rode buckled. i, The eighth person aboard the ship Pilot Lester 0. Holtan dismissed his dramatic landing as "a routine operation.
 Holtan, 33, and with 5000 hours flying time, felt the landing gear collapse when 1t contacted the ground at Long Beach yesterday af- ternoon. He gave his big ship the gun and lifted it back into the air.
 Then while he cruised high over southern California, Western Air. lines engineers in second plane flew beneath the crippled ship and inspected the damaged gear. They advised Holtan he would have to set the ship down in a crash land ing.
 So while Stewardess Evelyn Bart lett informed her five passengers including two women, of the situa- ton, Holtan flew up and down the coast using the 400 gallons of gaso- line in the tanks. Dumping it would involve fire hazard.
 Then, three hours later, while emergency equipment stood by, he folded the landing gear into the ship and dropped the plane gently on its belly on the Los Angeles airport. His crew and passengers climbed from the ship unharmed.

 The terrific assault was carried out by two squadrons of British bombers which flew in over the Dutch city almost at rooftop alti- tude and drew wild cheers from the Rotterdam populace as they swung over their objectives in a W" for mation-symbol of the British vic. tory propaganda campaign.
 The attack on Rotterdam was only one phase of the ever widening British air offensive against the continent.
 Another l3,ooo tons of enemy shipping was attacked in raids over the English Channel, off the west coast of France and the coast of Norway.

This Place Is On ROute to Moscow; Important to
 Nazi Advances 9,OOO,OOO MEN ARE
 ENGAGED IN BATTLE Russia Made Admission of Advance, But Claims Rus.
 sians Are Holding
BY HARRISON SALISBURY - United Press Staff COrrespondent)

BY HARRISON SALISBURY = United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 German reports claimed today the capture of Smo- lensk, vital town on the route to Moscow 235 miles distant, Chisinau (Kishenev) capital of Bessarabia, and the last of the heavy Qualifications protecting the Kiev area. The pounding Nazi drive into Rus sian territory was accom- panied by growing evidence that a new threat to the Soviet is building up fast in the Far East where Japan was reported to be preparing swiftly for action against Siberia.
 On the main RusSo-G German front the Nazi high command limited its communique to sweeping assertions of Q propagandist nature except for the claim to capture of Chisinalis 34 miles inside Bessarabia from the Rumanian frontier. The high command said o,00o.0 900 men were engaged in the Russian battles.
 However, from the Official DUE News Agency and other Nazt sources steady stream of reports of Ger man successes emanated.
 Picture oe Fronts
 This picture of the fronts was given:
 Northern Sector German troops sweeping up toward Leningrad but exact whereabouts not indicated; Russian reports said extremely heavy fighting was in progress in the Pskov-P -Porkov area.
 Central Sector-G German quarters reported capture of Smolensk 2SE miles from Moscow. other Maxi sources suggested NaH vanguard might" be within 100 miles of Mos- COW; DNB claimed that polotsk, 90 miles northwest of Vetebsk had been taken after holding. out for some days in the rear of the German vanguard; Russian reports indicated counter-offensive had carried Rus sians 30 miles back west over the Dnieper to the Bobruisk region.
 Southern Sector High command reported capture of Chisdnau; DINE claimed that final heavy bunkers of Kiev defense system captured after. Naz spearhead had earlier swept around them; Russians still placed fighting center at Novograd volynsk, 125 miles west of Kiev.
 Russians Admit It
 The Russians admitted that Ger man forces have reached the Smol- ensk area but did not admit the fall of this important city.
 An offlcial edict from Moscow to- day restored the office of political commissars to the Red army, an action which might indicate neces- sity of stiffening Soviet military resistance. The office of commis- SarS had been abolished in the ex- tensive reorganization of the Red army undertaken by Marshal Seml- yon Timoshenko, Soviet war con- missar.
 The apparent far eastern threat to Russia arose in adRices from Shanghai that Japan has embarked upon mobilization of her full mili- tary strength, possibly another l. 100000 men in addition to the 1.~ 000. 900 or SO already under arms.
 These new forces, 1t was reported, are destined for action "in the north," presumably q reference te Siberia. These reports said Japan apparently hoped to be ready to move on Russia In the east as soos as she has obtained from the French important bases in Indo China.
