MELBOURNE, May 25.
(UP) : Ten American army
nurses, rescued by plane from
Corregidor, ate a formidable
dinner here today, had their hair
done and went to see Walt Disney's
movie, Fantasia.
They were offered olive Bomber"
as an alternative entertainment but
declined unanimously. They had
seen plenty.
Rescued by daring American navy
aviators seven days before the fall
of the island fortress in Manila
bay, the nurses came 5000 miles
through Japanese infested territory
in a crowded navy patrol bomber,
to join Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
forces.
Nurses in a second plane got
as far as Mindanao island, where
their plane was damaged, and they
took to the island hills with the
army forces of Maj. Gen. William
Sharp while the Japanese were at
tacking few miles away.

Dispatches from both Moscow and
Berlin, supplemented by a military
spokesman in London, indicated that
a great see-saw engagement was still
in progress after IA days OF intense
mechanical warfare, and that both
sides were slightly groggy but still
Slugging.
A realistic study of the dispatches
from opposing capitals made it clear
that the Germans were striking back
powerfully on the Red army's flank,
but Nazi-inspired reports that AGO.
900 Russians had been trapped and
were being blasted to pieces by dive
bombers, were subject to extreme
doubt.
The Soviet communique spoke of
offensive battles continuing before
Kharkov where the Red army was
reported to have captured another
railroad junction and several towns,
while smashing admittedly violent
enemy attacks by maSsed tanks and
infantry on the southern flank in
the Izyum- -Barvenkovo area.
Whether all of the German flank
ing attacks had been turned back
was not made clear, and it appeared
likely that the powerful Nazi thrusts
from the south had made some prog
ress. But the enemy CLANS of great
encirclement were received with re-
serve in view of repeated instances
in 194l when the Nazi high COM
mand enormously reported it had
destroyed the bulk of the Red army,
which somehow kept on fighting
back more strongly than ever.
Nazi Marshal Fedor Won Book
seemed to be throwing everything
available into the battle in an ef-
fort to get Hitler's heralded Ukraine
offensive under way. Even German
baby tanks were dropped by para
chute behind the Russian lines, Mos
cow reported.

The shortage of rubber is reflect
ed in the transportation system,
said Bennett, and as a result vast
tonnage of hay, grain, flax, and
other agricultural products is ac-
cumulating. Sufficient trucks are
not Immediately available to keep
the products moving" he said,
causing the farmer to worry and
be in a mental condition to be VIC
timized by unscrupulous buyers
Bennett urged the farmers to hang
on to their products because the
market is not broken, there is no
surplus of hay in California, dairy
men in and around Los Angeles have
not even started to store their VIM
ter supply of hay, San Joaquin VAL
lev has more cattle than in years
past and will need more OF their
hay to feed at home, panic ON the
part of the farmers is the only
thing that can break the hay market
this summer, and supply and de-
mand justify no lowering OF the
present price of hay to the farmers.
Hay is being paled faster than
it can be hauled away, Bennett said.
Since farmers always need money
to pay balers and other expenses,
some dealers offer the distressed
farmers a couple of dollars a ton
under the market. The farmers be-
pin to wonder if they shouldn't sell
their hay before the price goes even
lower. Then along comes a dealer
and tells them the market is glutteo
which it isn't. The dealer takes a
cheap load of hay to the market,
sells it under the going price, and
that in itself establishes lower
price.
Imperial Valley has just one full
cutting of top grade, dairy hay to
offer the dairy trade" Bennett de-
clared. valley hay farmers will be
victimized if they don't get full
