By tie Associated Press.


FORT RILEY, Kans, June 90
Col. William r. Irwin. post COM
mander. has denied that worn au-
tomobile tires were burned on the
Fort Riley military reservation. He
said an investigation was under way

Maj. Gen. James A. Ulio, adjutant
general, for a statement on the
War Departments policy on DISPOSE
ton of old tires.
The Senator said he had received
several letters concerning a report
published by the Topeka State

been burned at Fort Riley.
Strict regulations concerning dis

British reverses in Libya have made

Heavy Pressure
On Sevostopol

MOSCOW. June 20.-Keeping
the enemy guessing as to their
real intentions, the Russians re-
manned silent today on a Ger
man report that the Red Army
had launched a huge new often
sive against Smolensk while the
Germans continued to exert
enormous pressure in the smoke
obscured battle about SevaS
topol in the Crimea.
"a BIC broadcast from Lon
don said the Russians had recap
tureo large town on the Kalinln
front in the sector north of
Smolensk)v
The German report, AS heard
here. said Russian infantry in the
central sector west of Moscow was
attacking in waves with tank and
infantry support, but there was
no confirmation from any Soviet
quarter.
II was recalled here, however. that
when the Germans began their early
May offensive on the Kerch PENN
sula in the Crimea. the Russians
began their own offensive against
Kharkov May II, but said nothing
about it officially for several days.
Two Salients Toward Smolensk.
The Russians have been holding
two salients which pointed toward
Smolensk, 220 miles west of Moscow.
One extends through DorogobuZh,
so miles southeast of Smolensk and
only 20 miles south of the Smolensk-
Moscow highway,
The other runs to Toropetz. l20
miles north of Smolensk and 40
miles east of Velikie Luki. A finger
of this salient extends into White
Russia between Velikte Luki and
Smolensk
Caught between the two salients
are German-held Gzhatsk. 95 miles
west of Moscow and Vyazma. The
Russian lines extend to the out
skirts of Rzhev to the north Of
Vyazma.
Concerning the German Sevas-
topol drive, Soviet dispatches said
fresh soldiers had joined Gen. Erich
Won MannStein's assault divisions to
replace the thousands who had
fallen in the offensive he launched
against the Crimean naval base
l6 days ago.
Attacks Intensified.
Multiple attacks again tested the
Notifications. Some Red Army gun
crews were buried alive under earth
thrown up by German shells. Smoke
screens covered infantry thrusts.
"a BIC broadcast quoted its
Moscow correspondent as say
ing The Germans have reached
a high road leading to Sevasto-
pol. The danger is very
great"
The correspondent said Nazi
shock troops had cut a wedge
pointing dangerously at the heart
of the city and were attacking
furiously despite an estimated
total of 10000 killed.
Nevertheless, a Berlin declaration
that defenses of the besieged Grim
can stronghold had been cracked
was not confirmed here.
New Blows Reported.
Our infantrymen, sailors and ar
tillerymen, repelling attacks of the
enemy, are delivering ever new
blows against them" the Soviet In
