LONDON, June ll-(P)-The
allied, exiled governments of
continental Europe estimates
that the Germans have shot Or
hanged nearly 100000 persons
in their effort to beat down the
sullen, resentful millions on oc-
cupied soil
A new wave of punitive mea-
sures is believed on the way
throughout all these countries
as the result of the assassination
of Reinhard Heydrich, protect
or" of Observation-Disclosures, for
whose death at least 275 CZechs
already have died within two
weeks. Prague, Paris, Amster-
dam, all Poland and Yugoslavia
probably will be the first to
feel the chill of this new terror
campaign, it -Jas indicated in
German adviceS reaching Bern.
VARIED CHARGES
Of the half-million Europeans
already believed dead by the
hand of the Nazi executioner,
approximately five per &c t
were wiped out in mass "repris-
al killing of hostages. The re-
mainder, including many wom-
en-, were executed on various
charges, such as sabotage, plot
ting and aiding the enemy.
The Norwegian, Belgian and
Netherlands governments and
the Free French committee here
said the increased tempo of exc
cutions in the past few weeks
indicated resistance to the Ger
mans was increasing in direct
ratio to the shootings.
The governments, in estimat-
ing the number killed, did not
consider "the countless thous-
ands who have died in concen-
tration camps or from i'll treat
ment and hunger as result of
the new order"
The Yugoslav government es-
timated $4,000 killed in Yugo-

of Battle
off Midway
ny the Associated Press

Salient points in the grea,
battle of Midway, as disclosed
today in Clark Lees dispatches
from General Emmons' head
quarters:
The Japanese sent two
huge fleets against Midway
Island-One consisting main
ly of transports, the other a
strong battle force.
u. S. Army bombers first
contacted the transport fleet
the afternoon of June 3 and hit
a cruiser or battleship, de-
stroyer and a transport.
The U. S. forces were ready
for the attack from the battle
fleet which came on the morn
ing of June 4 with a raid by
at least 1870 enemy planes.
Marine fighters engaged the
japanese and Marine anti-air-
craft fire cut loose. The Jap
anese spared runways, apparent
ly hoping to occupy Midway for
an air base.
Army, navy and marine
planes attacked the battle
fleet. Flying fortresses hit
one carrier in this attack, re-
fueled and rearmed, and
damaged one heavy cruiser
and probably another. No
flying fOrtresses were lost.
The critical point in the whole
fight for the land-based planes
came when they returned 10
Midway to refuel and pick up
bombs and ammunition-but by
that time the japanese fliers had
withdrawn and were so busy
protecting themselves that they
did not come back.
All reports have not been
received and the full story of
the battle is still to be told.

living standards and reduce want

spread of education and under

the wisdom we can command, a
fabric of international law, and
to compel its observance, by

Given this" he added, "the
peoples of the world must first

BY HENRY G. CASSIDY

MOSCOW, June II - (P) -
Germany's armies and air force,
increasing their pressure along
the entire front, were attacking
today at three major points: op-
ening a new push from Kharkov
in the Ukraine, hurting whole
divisions against besieged Sevas-
topol, and battering at Muir
mansk from the air.
Dispatches from the battle
fronts suggested that the Ger
mans at last were getting their
summer campaign under way,
rolling into larger-scale action
after being held and thrust
back for almost six months.
lass reported from SevaSto-
pol that the Germans had at
tackled repeatedly during the
uast "a hours, hurting power

despite the intensity and stub
bornness of the attacks the enc
