Idle shops in Calhoun County
soon will become laboratories in

WPA officials, here today. said
they were making a survey of the
idle shops and their availability.
Administration of the training
program will be in the hands of
school authorities. Contracts will
stipulate that the shops will be
returned TO owners when defense
contracts are received. Since most
of the WPA men are over draft

 Tanks, up to 15O in a single fCa- nation; .armored trailers carrying shock troops and sub-machine gum ners, field artillery and mortars made up the German forces whici, attacked again and again, over the bodies of their dead.
 It was estimated that in 10 days the Germans had lost 40,O0O killed and up to 120,000 wounded, in ad- dition to hundreds of tanks and planes. N
 But there was no sign of abate. ment in the ferocity with which the enemy were now attacking, and all along the front from the sea oj Azov to the Baltic, Russian com. manders were on the alert for signs of a major German offensive in an. other zone.

 General Douglas MacArthur's gen. eral headquarters communique No. 39, describing the raids, said:
 Northwestern Sector-New Br1- tain: Rabaul: Our air force attack ed the Vunakanau airdrome against strong fighter interception. Aircraft on the ground were damaged and large fires were started in the build ing area. All planes returned. Two enemy fighters were shot down. New Guinea: Lac: Allied bombers struck again at the airdrome, drop ping bombs in the target area. Heavy anti-air fire and strong in- tercepting forces were encountered. Two enemy fighters were shot down. We lost one plane in combat"
 Japs Have New Bomb
 Allied bomber crews reported that the Japanese fighters were using a new bomb which explodes in the air and scatters snrapnel.
 The enemy fighters race ahead of bombing planes, climb about 1000 feet above them, and release Q pear shaped bomb, trying to time 1t to explode on the bomber's flight line.
 An allied pilot told a United Press Correspondent that the "pear drops" shower their sfrapnel over a wide area. The first time he saw oen drop, he thought the emmy plane was dropping a spare tank.
 The Allied pilot banked to avoid the missile and saw 1t burst directly in his previous flight line, giving of dense white smoke and a heavy shrapnel blast.
 Another pilot, Q heavy bomber man, said an enemy zero fighter gave him pear drop. It exploded just behind his planes tail.
 Success of Allied planes in con- tinuing attacks despite the bad weather was believed here to mean, for one thing, that they had better instruments. The Japanese, for in- stance, had not attacked Port Morseby since May 20, when 12 fighter planes made a feeble try ct 8 raid.

 The Red air force was said by Pravda to have undisputed supe. riority over the Kharkov baltic front.
 A special dispatch to the army newspaper Red Star revealed that the Germans had made 8 new thrust on the Kalinin front, 9( miles northwest of Moscow, but that the Russians had thrown them back and, in the end, advanced to new positions.
 Germans Gain, Then Lose
 Three regiments of infantry SUD- ported by 30 tanks, two artillery battalions and airplanes-upward' of 10000 men in all-attacked the Russians on marrow front.
 It was admitted that the Germans gained at first, but the dispatch said the Russians checked them, re. grouped and counter attacked, re. gaining all lost ground and taking three inhabited places which the enemy had held.
 Red Star reported also that guer- rillas were increasingly active or this front and had blown up a big concrete bridge and railroad tracks
 Front dispatches said that on the Kharkov front the Russians anc Germans were battling day anc night with greatest ferocity, with the enemy seeking to turn the Rus- sion left flank.
 Russian infantrymen and tanks ripped into the Hanks of the at. tacking Germans, crippled theil tanks an dfought back their infan- trymen, and CoSsack cavalrymen galloping into the fight, joined them in swift, sharp counter attacks.
 Red army airplanes and artillery were reported giving closest support to the front line forces and infiict- ing heavy losses on the Germans
 In several sectors, 1t was asserted the Russians improved their strate- gic position after breaking German attacks.
 It was the 18th day of one of the greatest and most ferocious battles of all time
 Both sides threw in men, guns and tanks by thousands, and over the smoke -clouded fields and forests Russian and German planes fought grinly for supremacy.
 Runssia in it's midnight communi- que on the Kharkov situation did not speak of offensive action. The Germans were now on the attack They had thrown reserves lavishly into the -Barvenkova sector the 25-mile stretch 70 miles south of Kharkov, where they sought tc turn a counter-attack into a majol drive which would mark the open. ing of the ng-promised spring offensive.
