MARINES ARE WELCOME
TO IMPERIAL VALLEY

Every service group which has been
sent to Imperial Valley since the begin
ming of the war-and before-has found
a warm welcome in the homes and hearts
of valley civilions there is a special r2a-
son why Marine Corps filters assigned
to the newly completed field here should
be double welcomed
Arrival of the marine fliers and their
ground crews will give. point to the flrst
really permanent establishment brought
to the valley by wartime conditions. Inc
marines who will arrive here shortly sig
nal not only present condition, but
future one as well.
Camp Seeley, where ground troops
have been established, is not camp OF
the permanent type Nor is the marine
camp at inland. But the airport project
which the navy has officially designated
the FL Centro Marine Air Station. and
which was known in earlier stages as the
Seeley airport, is something that VIII
last long after the war is over. What
use will be made of 1t by the armed ser
vices in peacetime remains to be seen;
it is evident today only that the big con-
crete runways, the lighting system, the
hangers and the various other buildings
are permanent assets to this county
We hope that the airport continues al
ways as Marine corps All oldeloh' l nc
hope seems not far fetched, since 1t Is
now one of only five in the whole United
States. We like the marines, welcome
them to our community, and will do all
in our power to make their assignment
here a pleasant one. We are encouraged
to hope that they will like the valley, too.
1t is gratifying to us to know that the
men and officers of every large military
unit which has been sent here have found
our hospitality, according to their own
word, the best they have met anywhere
Because they had heard exaggerated stor-
les of the valley, they may have begrudg-
ed coming here, yet none of them has
gone away again without expressing re-
gret at leaving.
If it is within our power to do so, we
hope to make all this doubly true with
the Marine Corps air station personnel,
for they will be truly Imperial Valleys
own.

Peril
By HENRY SHAPIRO

MOSCOW, July 6. tUP)-A dar-
ing counterattack by Russian tanks
has halted a new German break
through near KurSk. but the enemy
has achieved partial success and
is creating a serious situation on
the blazing l50-mile southwest
front. Soviet press dispatches said
today.
The Soviet information bureau
reported bitter fighting at Kursk
and Volchansk and admitted that
the Germans had driven a Spearhead
through the Red army's defenses
near Belgorod. 100 miles south of
KurSk.
Front line dispatches to the So
Wet newspaper Pravda said the
Germans had intensified their drive
to the east. and described the Rus
sian situation as hard pressed"
In some sectors, the newspaper said,
the Red army was holding while
at other points it counterattacked
taking amounting toll of Axis, planes
and men.

DEFENSES PIERCED

The Germans pierced the Soviet
defenses on one sector near Kursk,
it said, and Immediately brought
up operating and tactical reserves.
They were successful in widening
the breach.
Fighting against overwhelming
numbers and under the most diff
cult conditions, Pravda said, the
Russians retired to new lines.
Then the Soviet tanks were sent
out into the most dangerous sectors
of the front Maneuvering into posi-
ton for counterattack, the dis
patches said, they pushed back the
enemy for some distance and pre-
vented him from advancing into the
gap on wider front.
Preliminary reports indicated that
Russian tank units had destroyed
four German infantry regiments
(about 10000 mem, Pravda said in
addition to an artillery regiment and
so tanks.
CAUCASUS THRUST
Annihilation of one regiment was
claimed officially in the noon COM
munique, which said the only chang
eS were on the southwest front
where the Germans apparently were
driving to reach Voronezh on the
Don river, in the preparation for
thrust into the Caucasus.
In the Kursk area, a fierce battle
was reported raging along the banks
of an unidentified river which so
German vehicles succeeded in cross
ing after night-long attack. Sew
eral hours later, however, a Soviet
tank unit counterattacked hurled
the Germans across the west bank
OF the stream and reoccupied several
important points, dispatches said
Col Gen. Edwald von Kleist, the
Nazi commander, was said to have
launched new attacks on the central
sector of the Kursk front despite
heavy losses of men and equipment.
TROOPS WIPED OUT
A Pravda correspondent said small
enemy mechanical groups crossed
a strategic river followed by in
fantry forces in collapsible boats.
Twenty Russian tanks were said
to have met the advancing Ger
mans, wiped out the shock troops
and forced the remnants to retire.
On the northern front, one dis
patch said, the Russians were
beating off" incessant German air
attacks and had recaptured an i'm
portant village.
In the KurkS direction bloody
battles are underway" it said. THE
enemy is suffering huge losses. On
one sector, our tank units annihi-
lated a regiment of German infan-

ton, our tank crews killed about
