The Sevastopol correspondent OF
Pravda said the defenders were
contesting every inch of ground
and refused to surrender even
when encircled.
There was particularly severe
fighting yesterday on the northern
and southern sectors Of the Sc
vastopol front, contributing further
to the price of 10,000,000 soldiers
and officers the Soviet information
bureau said the Germans had paid
in killed, wounded and captured
for a years campaign in Russia.

NEW DRIVE LAUNCHED
Raj Planes in 3rd
Big Raid Against
German Navy Base

LONDON, June %. CUP)-Brit-
aims giant bombing planes hurled
hundreds of tons of bombs on Ger
many's naval base of Emden during
the night in their third attack in
four nights on that North sea port.
The entire attack, by an esti-
mated $50 to 300 planes. took less
than an hour, the air ministry said
in a communique.
No Official disclosure was made
of the strength of the British bomb
ing fleet except that it was strong
and the raid was successful.
The weather was clear apart
from a slight ground haze and well
placed flares gave valuable help in
the identification of targets" the
communique said.
AIRPORTS ATTACKED
In addition to bombing Emden,
the Royal air force attacked air
fields in Holland and Belgium and
fighter planes of the intruder force
attacked air fields and other objec-
tives in northern occupied France.
It was estimated that in three
raids Friday, Saturday and last
night Britain has sent against En-
den. one of Germany'S most import
ant targets. anywhere from $50 to
900 planes carrying bomb loads OF
several tons each.
Loss of six planes was admitted
last night, against eight in Friday
nights raid and six in Saturdays.
SUCCESS CLAIMED
Though it was said the raid
last night was not in the neighbor-
hood of Britain's new l,00O-a-night
standard, it was emphasized that
it was in great force and had been
successful.
The Royal air force devastation
offensive against Germany had been
resumed a week ago with a big raid
on the Ruhr and Rhineland war
industry centers.
Last nights raid on Emden was
the 18th of the war.
Germany reported through the
Berlin radio heard here, that En-
den was the chief target OF raids
which extended during the night
to areas in northwestern Germany
generally.
Unusual for Germany. it was ad-
mitted that damage was caused not
only to homes but to public
buildings"
In its first reports Germany
claimed only three British bombers
downed, against the six announced
here, but it was assumed this over
sight would be corrected promptly.

ALL OUR OFFENSivES
ARE CONVERSATIONAL

A year ago Americans (and English.
tool were demanding an end to defensive
thinking, and beginning Of offensive
planning by allied military StrateglStS.
Today. almost eight months after
Americas own entry into the war, the
only signs that are evident of any Of
fensive at all are conversational signs.
1t is somewhat startling to realize, at
this late date, that the Russians are the
only members of the United Nations who
have shown the slightest inclination to
take the offensive. The Soviet fighting
men deserve a lot of credit for their et-
fort, which is continuing, but theirs is
an uphill battle.
Not another nation of the allied group
has made one single actual gesture to-
ward an offensive campaign ince the war
started.
Perhaps we are not ready. Possibly
we could not yet sustain an offensive.
Those possibilities should be held in mind
in any discussion of offensive campaigns.
We do not want to go overheard, and lose
everything, in an ill-considered effort to
satisfy uninformed public demand.
But greater danger, perhaps, is that
our leaders will fall into permanent
habit OF defensive thinking. we say d
greater danger" because that is evident
ly what happened in Libya, with the Brit
ish generals there. Accounts by CORE
spondents in Libyan and Egyptian head
quarters seem to indicate that the gen
eral staff in Egypt was so permeated by
the thought, Where will Rommel strike
next?'', that they had no time for the
thought, Where should we striker" Fear
of the German general evidently had tied
the hands of the British generals as well
as ropes might have.
Don't think the British in Libya are
the only ones who are thinking defensive
", instead of aggressively. The hard,
blunt truth is that we are going to lose
this war unless the trend as it has been
right up to date is changed.

GIVE
OR WALK
(Red Bluff News)

(Red Bluff News)
This war is different, as most of us
agree: And the results are certain to be
different. We are going to discover new
values for ordinary things and get an
understandable definition of economy.
Take rubber for instance. We had so
much rubber in peace times, that we
never learned to stretch 1t to cover war
times. And having plenty of rubber we
were eXtravagant of the supply, never
once pausing to inquire whence comes
rubber and how.
Then the Japs caught us mapping and
grabbed our rubber zones, made water
transportation hazard, and plunged us
into a mechanical war that demands tons
of rubber where we had been having
Joy ride on pounds. 1t has taken this
nation of very intelligent people more
than a year to get fully hep to the fact
we can't win this war without rubber.
And we are just beginning to realize that
we have limited supply, and most of
it is working This war has taken to the
air, and we can't build planes of any
class without rubber.
SO we are in devil of fix. We don't
want to lose the war, and we hate like
sin to stop JOY riding We are getting
it through our thick noggins that we
can win this war in a walk, but how we
do hate to walk
If we can collect large tonnage of
scrap rubber the policy will be liberal. If
we can't We may lose the tires we have on
the old jit. and learn to walk 1t may be
tough. But it will be tougher if we lose
this war

FDR, Churchill In
Joint Statement
Telling Nothing

WASHINGTU4<. Zine % CUP) -
A Joint Roosevelt Churchill state
ment. buttressed by Harry L. Hop
kins' more detailed war outline IN
New York, left the second front
question unanswered today except
for assurance that American air
men in Great Britain soon would
bomb Germany in force.
Hopkins spoke last night at New
York mass meeting commemorating
the Soviet unions entry into the
war. He warned that Russia and
the Russian army are in danger
but was confident that ultimately
they would drive the Germans from
their soil. aSY
He promised { second front, and
a third and fourth if necessary to
Junk the Axis but said that for us
dark days are ahead
Hopkins is listed as special as
sistant to the President but he is
more than that, combination OF
friend, trusted adviser and No.
White House trouble-Shooter His
public remarks rank second in i'm
portance only to those OF MIR
Roosevelt.
. Distribution Of advance copies OF
Hopkins address revealed for the
first time that the closely guard
ed Roosevelt Churchill conversa-
tions were taking place in Washing
ton. The White House shortly
thereafter issued an unexpected
and unilluminating interim joint
statement By President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill which
contained nothing new other than
to confirm that they were meeting
here
The vague and cautious nature
of the elt-Churchill state
ment indicated that it had beer
hurried to the press and radio. Its
issue avoided a situation in which
it might have appeared that CEN
sorship. Rules had been relaxed II
favor of Hopkins to permit him tc
reveal the whereabouts OF the An
glo- American chieftains.

EXECUTING PRIVILEGE

Nevada State JOurnaD
The right to execute AdOlph Hitler,
Heinrich Himmer, Herman Wilhelm
Goering and other Nazi leaders was re-
quested yesterday by the Czech govern
ment in exile at session of its leaders
in London. The duty of executing Hitler
and all his gang, now or when the war is
over, would be considered a privilege by
the people of more than half the world,
including many who live in Germany, but
at the moment the Czechs, because of the
inhuman treatment of their people, have
the best claim. The people of France,
Belgium, Holland, Poland, Norway and
so many other countries have felt the iron
heel of dictatorship and oppression, that
a wild scramble for the execution task
would occur if it were only possible to
place the fate of the Nazi leaders on the
auction block and let the highest bidder
have the pleasure.
The doom of Hitler and his cruel crew
is sealed, but it may be months or years
before .they will be brought before the
bar of justice. A patriots bullet may
cut Hitler down. as it did his hangman
few weeks ago, but he may live on to see
his armies and his ambitions crushed.
His death now would not end the war,
but it might help. His death when the
war is over would not be mourned by
anyone and if it was arranged to allow
the Czechs to do the executing, since they
put in the first bid, no one should feel
unduly Slighted.
