ROMMEL IN EGYPT:
Fluid Fighting

In the battle for Egypt, Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel, director of
the Axis drive toward Suez, struck
at the British eighth army with the
full weight of three armored divi-
sions backed by artillery and infan-
try.
The first major British stand in
Egypt, Is miles west of Matruh, was
by-passed early by mechanical
units. The Nazi high command an
nounced in special communique
the "storming" of Matruh. The Axis
striking force was aimed at Alexan-
dria, 165 miles away and the Suez
canal beyond. Seriousness of the sit
uation was evidenced by the fact that
Nazi and Italian forces were within
$50 miles of the fertile Nile valley,
where SO per cent of Egyptians live.
The British communique stated
that Enemy forces which have by
passed our position west of Matruh
were met by our battle troops. Some
OF our armored forces attacked
enemy forces west of Matruh."
An Italian communique said the
Axis army had reached a position
on the coast road about 10 miles
beyond Matruh and that several hum
dred prisoners were captured.

SUGAR RATIONS:
May Be Tipped

A moderate increase in sugar ra-
tions-possibly half a pound per
coupon-has been limited by officials
Of the Office of Price Administra-
ton.
A survey of sugar stocks in the
United States shows that the supply
in the hands of consumers is so per
cent less than year ago. Stocks
held by primary distributors and
20 per cent below 1941 and total
sugar stock on hand is one-third
less than at this time last year.
Final decision on the ration in
crease depends largely upon pros
poets of sugar shipments from Puer-
to Rico and Cuba during the next
six months. In addition, the deci-
sion will hinge on information which
is becoming available on actual dis.
tribution under the rationing sys-
tenn.
"The real question:" one official
said, 'is how much sugar is going
to be brought in from the Caribbean
area"

u. S. POWER:
In Europe

One of the most important angles
of the 1000 plane raid by the British
ROYAL Air force on Bremen, Ger
man submarine and shipbuilding
base, was the first official admis-
sion that u. S.-made aircraft took
part in the main operations of a
bombing raid of this scale. These
planes were reported to be Lock-
heed-Hudsons, usually used to hunt
subs on the high seas and not in
their bases.
The British announced after the
raid that So planes or about per
cent of the total attacking forces
had been shot down. They claimed
hits on many important targets and
declared that numerous fires had
been started. Germany admitted
this much also.
This raid on Bremen about the
same time it was announced official
w that the u. S. had established
headquarters in London for the
European Theater" of war opera.

PRODUCTIONS:
Silence Broken

Americas strict seal of wartime
silence on production of materials
for fighting the war was broken by
President Roosevelt when he dis
closed figures which as he put 1t,
would not give laid and comfort"
to the enemy.
In fact, these production figures
would likely have the opposite ei-
feet according to most Washington
observers, for it was revealed that
in May, U. S. factories produced
nearly 1000 planes, 1900 tanks,
1000 artillery and anti-tank guns,
$4,000 machine guns and about $4,000
sub-machine guns.
The White House announcement Of
these figures came at the close of
the Churchill Roosevelt conferences
and indicated that the strategy Of
the war had progressed to a point
where definite plan was develop
ing. This meant the problem now
resolved itself into providing a
method for getting these huge sup
plies being turned out in the U. S.
to the second front; how to con-
tinue the flow of supplies to Russia
and how to even still more speed
up the output of American ma
chimes.

SECOND FRONT:
And Russian Hopes

Russia's fears that a second front
may fail to realization were allayed
by Foreign Commissar v. M. Mo-
lotov who reported complete agree
ment between Washington and Lon
don on a United Nations offensive
in the west.
The joint statement issued by
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill was hailed as
proof of the approaching Allied Of
fensive.
Molotov, upon his return from
Washington and London, voiced his
personal admiration for the Presi-
dent and Churchill and reported on
the readiness of Britain and Amer
lea to act without delay to divert
German strength from the attack on
Russia.
While Molotov was reassuring his
people, Churchill had prepared the
draft of his speech given in the
house of commons. He was aided
by Deputy Prime Minister Clement
Attlee and Sir Stafford Grips, who
worked with him to dispel the
unrest caused by the loss of Libya.

OFFICIAL SCORE:
In Battle of Midway

Official score of the Midway bat
tie has been announced by the navy
department-and the results were
more heartening than had been pre-
viously supposed.
At least 10 Japanese ships were
sunk, including four aircraft car
riers, and at least eight others were
damaged. Sunk in addition to the
carriers were two $500 ton cruisers,
three destroyers, and one or more
transport or cargo vessels. Prob
ably sunk was fourth destroyer.
Damaged were two and probably
three battleships, three or more
heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and
three transport or cargo ships. All
the aircraft about the four Japanese
cruisers, totaling about 275 planes,
and all the aerial forces were lost,
the communique said.
American losses were reported
earlier. They included an aircraft
carrier damaged, a destroyer sunk
and some American planes lost:

NNOs
Lease on Life

In a dramatic move, Vice Presi-
dent Henry A. Wallace came to the
aid of the Civilian Conservation
corps and with his vote broke SEN
ate tie to give at least a temporary
lease on life to the seemingly
doomed CCC.
BY vote of 80 to 80, the senate
approved an appropriation of $76,-
529, 300 for CCC financing during the
1943 fiscal year. Previously the
house had voted to liquidate the
agency, one of the earliest New Deal
ventures.
House-senate differences will have
to be ironed out in conference on
the bill appropriating 81, 157, 498, 426
for the labor department, Federal
Security administration and related
agencies. This bill contains CCC
funds.
The senate was tense as the roll
call vote was taken on the CCC is
sue. The first call showed that %
members favored continuation of
the CCC; "a members were OPP
posed. The vote emerged 80 to 80
in a recapitulation. Then, from the
chair, Vice President Wallace an
nounced that the vote was a tie, and
added:

| tive"

SABOTEURS:
Major Failure

A dramatic story of attempted
Nazi sabotage in the United States
was unfolded by FBI agents who
rounded up eight master saoo-
teurs trained by Nazi experts ana
landed by rubber boats from two
submarines at Amagansett beach,
Long Island, and Ponte Vedra
beach, Fla.
The four Germans who landed at
Amagansett beach rowed ashore In
the early hours of the morning after
the submarine had crept within 5OO
yards of the beach. From caches In
the beach sands, FBI men recov-
cred huge stores of powerful explo-
sives buried by the men when they
landed. Approximately $170,OOO In
American currency was carried by
the Nazi agents to pay accomphces.
Detectives assigned to the men in
Guided the bombing of Hell Gate
railroad bridge, the bombing of all
bridge approaches to New York
city, bombing of the New York wa
ter supply lines and the blasting OF
other vital detectives.
Each of the agents was provided
with many types of forged creden-
tials, including social security cards
and selective service cards. Their
travelling bags were equipped with
secret compartments for money and
documents.
A sequel to the story came with
the arrest of several accomplices OF
the eight men, some of whom are
regarded as associates Of the Nazi
agents who may have intended to
take part in the sabotage effort. Two
of the accomplices were arrested II

NEW OFFENSIVE:
In Russia

German troops opened a third
summer front with new offensive
near Kursk, 120 miles north Of
Kharkov and $50 miles south Of
Moscow. The drive was opened
even as more and more Nazi troops
were poured against Russian de-
lenses in the Kharkov and Sevasto-
pol battles.
A Soviet communique said that
&c. in the Kursk direction, fight
ing commenced against the German
troops who had gone over to the Of
fensive." The Nazi drive was
launched from entertainments which
they had held through the great
Russian counteroffensive of last win
ter and spring.
Kursk is located on the Moscow
Crimean railroad in an agricultural
area just north of the Ukraine. On
an almost-straight line with Kharkov
and Moscow, it was important
for its anti-tank gun works, arti-
fetal rubber factory and cartridge
plant.
Marshal Semyon Timoshenko an
nounced the stemming of a German
advance east of Kupyanks, ther
launched a counterattack on one
key sector and pushed westward.
German dispatches announced
that operations on the Kharkov front
were successfully concluded, bu
Russian communicates said the Rec
army was counterattacking success
fully in several areas.
A German break-through east o
Kursk would threaten vital Russian
communications and might bring
Soviet forces in the Kharkov sector
within reach of an encirclemen
movement from the north.
