MOSCOW, July 2.-American
merchant seamen man guns
both at sea and in port to beat
of German flyers seeking to
slash the supply line feeding
vital war materials into Soviet
Russia through the Arctic port
of Murmansk.
This job of delivering the goods
and even guarding them on &C.
casion after they have been deliv-
ered-was described today by
Comdr. Samuel B. Frankel, 81, OF
Stapleton. N Y, United States As
sistant Naval Attache, stationed in

for conferences.
United States merchantmen car
rying supplies to Russia, he said
are bringing their cargoes success
fully to port with relatively few
casualties despite the attacks OF
German dive bombers and torpedo
planes.
During the last four months,
Comdr. Frankel declared, American
casualties have been not more than
Is wounded and the same number
missing or dead.
Fewer Loss Predicted.
In the future, he said, losses
should be even smaller, for the ad-
vent OF the foggy season will give
the conveys greater protection and
the retreat of the Arctic ice fields
will permit them to make a great
circle far north OF the Norwegian
coast.

latest attack on Russia's central
front, is in peacetime, headquar-
tiers for a fruit region as famous to
Russians for its apples as Florida
and California are to Americans for
their oranges and grapefruit.
The Russians failed in their winter
attempt to recapture the city which
is an important junction on the rail-
road running from Moscow to Sevas-
topol.
Kursk, equal in size to Charlotte,
N c., is about 280 miles south Of
Moscow. and 125 miles north of
Kharkov 1t lies almost at the mid
point between Moscow and the Black
Sea.
In czarist days, tales Of a
magnetic phenomenon near Kursk
were regarded as mere fantasy. Dur
ing the Russian revolution, while the
Kursk region was in the thick of
the fight, Soviet scientists began to
investigate the area. Vast deposits
of iron ore were discovered there in
1922 and Kursk since has become the
center of a large smelling industry.

OF 1854-1855, and again in 194l-
1912 under the repeated attacks OF

The memorable siege OF the Cri-
mean War lasted nearly II months
and ended when the Russians with
drew to the north side of the harbor
and a general weariness of the war
set In.
The German siege Of the historic
city began November I, 194l, when
Nazi artillery and dive bombers
were sent into action against its de-
lenses. Although the Russians were
driven of the Kerch Peninsula Of
the Crimea in October, 194l, leaving
Sevastopol the only center OF re-
sistance on the entire Crimean
Peninsula, the defenders of Sevasto-
pol stood by their guns.
All through the winter they held
out while other Russian forces
fought back to the Kerch Penin-
sula only to be thrown out again in
May. The last sustained offensive
against Sevastopol started June 5
and even the Germans admitted the
stubborn resistance" of the Defend
ers.

of two hills, the sides OF which are
blanketed with orchards. In the
heyday Of Russia's orthodox religion,
Kursk was venerated as the birth
place of Theodosius, one Of the
country's most holy saints.
Before German occupation, Kursk
had one OF Russia's largest sugar
refining industries. The city also
manufactured machinery, bricks,
cartridges, tobacco and soap.
Kursk is a trading center and rail
junction for Kursk Province. Ever
since the days Of ancient Greece the
region has been one OF Europe's chief
sources of grain. Before the Ger

Russia's millet, rye, oats, wheat,

Reserve squadrons of German
tanks now are being introduced into
the Kursk battle, Russian dispatches
said, indicating that the enemy al
ready had exhausted the arrnored
forces assigned to that combat.
The German attempt to seize
swiftly a number of strategically
important points was described as
a complete failure.
Russian artillery and infantry
were credited with successfully
holding a high bank dominating a
portion OF the Kursk front. One
unit there was estimated to have
destroyed 100 German tanks and
another IS.
Three settlements changed hands
several times in the ebb and flow
of violent battles In the streets. In
one of them the Russians said they
destroyed 10 German tanks which
ran out of fuel
Local numerical superiority was
conceded to the Germans in some
spots, but the Germans were de-
clared to have failed to gain air
superiority and to be bringing up
long range artillery to try to batter
the Russian defenses.
Southwest Drive Renewed.
The Germans also were reported
to have renewed this week their at
tack on the southwest front, where
their earlier offensive from Kharkov
was stopped.
Russian dispatches said the enemy
concentrated tanks, troops and
planes in a narrow sector, opened
up with a violent bombardment,
then sent the infantry into an as
sault which failed at the loss of
1000 men.
The German campaign In the
Ukraine was described as stair
case offensive" Having failed to
move along wide front as they did
year ago, the Nazis were said to be
following the tactics of stepping on
one small point, then moving pro-
gressively toward others.
Generally, however, they were said
to be making no major gains, being
frequently forced to halt, reform and
change their direction of attack.

The bonus, by dollar draft pre-

and payable in the United States,
amounts to about $1,000 per vessel.
This Is in addition to other bonuses
granted In the United States.
The Russians also are doing
everything possible to make the
Americans feel at home, Comdr
Frankel said, by providing Russian
and American movies nightly, by
staging operetta performances and
by opening an international club
for sailors.
Despite repeated German raids on
Murmansk, the facilities of the port
are virtually intact and any dam
age done is quickly repaired, the
American officer reported
Few Vessels Are Hit.
He said few United States vessels
had been hit during these raids and
that all wounded-except II in hos

Colndr. Frankel described German
air losses over Murmansk as heavy,
reporting he had witnessed the de-
