Duff-Cooper Asks
US. Naval Help in
War With Germany

LONDON. July 7. CUP)-Alfred
Duff Cooper, British minister OF
propaganda. appealed to the United
States, which possesses the second
greatest navy in the world, great
air force and a growing army,
for increased aid in bringing the
war to a speedy end.
we are very appreciative OF the
help America has given us and very
grateful for it." Duff-Cooper said
last night in a radio broadcast to
the United States. 1T has been OF
immense value and I can assure
you there is no inclination in this
country to underrate it
But at the same time when ]
am asked what more America can
do the very question seems to me
to reveal a lack of complete under
standing OF the situation in which we
find ourselves he added.
When America came into the
last war in 1917, France, Italy and
Japan-three of the greatest naval
powers after ourselves and the Unit
ed States-were fighting on our
side. Today, Italy actively is fight
ing against US, the Vichy govern
ment has declared its decision to
come to the assistance of our enemy
and Japan has signed the tripartite
pact.
This country lives or dies by
sea- power" Duff Cooper said, point
ing out that the United States has
the second greatest navy, a great
air force and growing army.
1T is surely unnecessary for me
to tell you what America can do
more to assist our cause" he added
We arc going to win this war, but
the more help we can get, the soon-
er we Will win it and the sooner
we win it. the better for the world.

day.
The board transferred $4,000
from other funds into the relief
department to take care of the July
warrants for 621 old age relief re-
cipients, 662 orphans, and A blind

If it had not been for the action
of the supervisors the relief reci-
pients would not have received
their July checks until well past
the middle of the month because
the federal government did not
vote the federal share of the funds
used for the three relief divisions

troops continued to advance toward
the upper reaches of he Dvina river,
thus tending to support the Rus
sian claims. The battles, however,
were still in progress.
On the southern front the Ger
man official news agency claimed
a break through on the Stain line
in the Ukraine, apparently in the
Novograd Volynsk sector about 120
miles from Kiev. The news agency
used the word "durchstossen" OF
break through but gave no details
TO indicate that the NaZiS had done
more than capture a few fortifica-
tions. The German high command
did not mention the purported break
through but said German Ruman-
ian troops had captured Cernauti
and advanced to the DnieSter-Sereth
rivers.
REDS DENY CLAIMS
The Russian communique was in
sharp contradiction to Tile German
claims in the south. Moscow sale
that Nazi mechanical forces had
suffered heavy losses when they
were repulsed in the Novograd VOL
ynsk sector and in BesSarabia, be-
ing thrown back to their original
positions.
On the far northern front the
Germans reported their forces were
advancing with Finnish support in
the direction of MurmaSk, the big
Arctic port, while luftwaffe dive
bombers cleared the way with heavy
attacks to enemy ponitions and bases.
The Moscow communique made no
specific reference to the far north
but said in general that no impOr-
tant changes had occurred in the
Russian positions.
AIR WAR RACES
Both sides asserted that their
air forces were hammering almost
constantly at enemy front and rear
lines.
The air war continued at a hot
pace in the west, also with the
British reporting tremendous night
