Claim Battle for KharkOv
Is All Over; Germans
Driven Back

Moscow, June 1.-(UP)-Russian
troops have smashed series of Ger
man attacks on T1i:ekalinin front
northwest of Moscow and in fierce
counter-attacks have seized several
strategic heights, special dispatches
from the front said today.
Steady intensification of activities
on the northwest stretch Of the front
was believed to mean that an Of
fensiye by either side, on the scale
Of that now ended at Kharkov,
might be started at any time.
German troops attacked persist
emily despite heavy losses in an at
tempt to throw back the Russians in
the Kalinin area, dispatches said.
The Russians stayed on the de-
Tense for three days, breaking all at
tacks, and then took the initiative.
The Russians counter-attacked
and, passing some 1,100 dead whom
the Germans had left on the battle
field, stormed and took the heights
from which the German attacks had
been started.
More than 500 German were killed
in another sector.
TO the north, the Russians killed
many in routing about 1000 Ger
mans who attacked with tank sup
port on the Leningrad front.

Boston, June L. (UP) - First

greatest sluggers in baseball history
was sold today by the Boston Rec

Chicago Cubs of the National league

The 34-year-old FoXX, a hoy

the Philadelphia Athletics, hao
been with the Red Sox since 1886
and was playing his 18th season In
the American league.
The Red Sox brief announcement
contained no mention of the fact
that his sale to the Cubs meant
that the other seven clubs In the
American league and Pittsburgh and
the Philadelphia Phils, both lower
in the senior loop standing than
Chicago, had waived on him.
Though the sale price was not
disclosed, it probably was conSid-

Foxx, a personable performer, es-

in home runs for four seasons and

Foxx in his long career has driven

Cairo, June 1.-(UP)-Col. Gen.
Erwin Rommel today succeeded in
extricating the badly battered spear
head of his Axis tank forces from
British trap in the Libyan desert
south of FL GaZala after the cap
ture Of his second in command by
the British.
Rommel withdrew his German
Italian armored units westward,
back from Britain's coastal strong
hold of Tobruk which had been his
objective, after taking heavy bat
tering from British guns and bomb
ing planes which left the desert
wastes strewn with wrecked and
crippled tanks.
British middle east headquarters
announced that Gen. Ludwig Crue-
well, 5O-year-old second in command
to Rommel, was prisoner after the
shooting down of a reconnaissance
plan In which he was surveying the
battlefront.
Rommel was said in front line
advices reaching Sairo this after
noon to be consolidating his forces
in new positions in the area of two
gaps in the British ninefield line ex-
tending. south from Ell Gazala on
the coast to Bir Hachein on the
British left flank.
1t appeared that Romnel, pulling
back his advance forces to escape
their anrihilataon behind the Brit
isi1 line southwest OF Tobruk, had
succeeded in getting most of his
tanks and armored cars back to the
irregular line although perhaps in
preparation for new strong drive
eastward.
Failed i'm Drive
Rommel's eXtricat!on of his pam
ger forces through the two gaps in
the British forward positions meant
that he had completely failed in his
efforts to smash through to the
British rear areas and imperil the
entire defense system of Lieut.. Gen.
Neil M. Ritchie's Eighth Imperial
Army, 1t was said.
