sible toll in the Donets basin, Soviet
Marshal Semyon Timoshenko was
making a fighting retreat south
ward through flaming villages in
the apparent hope of exhausting the
enemy and making a stand in de-
fense of ROstov and the road to
Stalingrad.
The Russian tactics were compar-
able to the British retreat into
Egypt to the extent that he most
important factor was to keep the
Red army together, avoid encircle-
ments and select the most favor
able ground for stand such as
the British Imperials made at El
Alamein.
5000 PRISONERS TAKEN
The British, using larger RAF
and American air squadrons for
some of the biggest raids of the
desert war, still were holding the
initiative in Egypt and had taken
5000 prisoners in the last 10 days.
United states Army heavy bomb
ers again made an effective day
light raid on the Axis supply base
at Tobruk. the British navy again
shelled IMatruh with good effects
dissolving Axis suggestions that it
had left the Mediterranean-and
the RAF made an unprecedented
bombing attack that smashed
grounded enemy planes at the El
Daba airdrome.
There was encouraging news from
China, too, as result of Chinese
counterattacks that recaptured four
cities, including Wenchow on the
coast, from the Japanese, and Amer
ican bombing attacks on 80 Japa-
nese airplanes grounded at Canton
as well as against the enemy head
quarters in Kiangsi province.
But dispatches from Chungking
reported that large number of
japanese troops had been with
drawn from southeastern China to
the northern provinces, again hint
ing that Tokyo is planning a stab
in the back at Siberia If the Ger
man offensive in western Europe
is successful.
The greatest German strength still
was diverted southeastward in an
effort to encircle Rostov. which was
heavily bombed as the enemy re-
portedly advanced to within about
80 miles on the north.
REDS FAVORED
Fighting on the Don river near
Voronezh continued to swing in
favor of the Red army, which
seized an enemy bridgehead south
of the city, reported some $500
enemy troops slain and appeared to

Kiska Harbor Nav
Become Tomb For
Jap Invasion Hope
Reporter Sees Battle

AT SEA WITH THE PA
CIFIC FLEET, (delayed)-
Kiska harbor may earn a place in
history as the dreariest tomb ever
to receive the corpse OF an invad-
er's hope to conquer the world.
1t may be that Honshu's hopeful
little men have chosen the foggy
bay under the peaks of Kiska to
launch their last serious attempt
to invade and conquer the United
States.
1t now seems more likely they
have chosen place to die.
Midway was their first choice
and failed there Now despite repe-
titious punishment by American
bombers they are doggedly assem-
bling in Kiska.
Already the emperors high-prow-
ed ships are going down at their
mDorings, victims of bombs falling
day and night from big brown and
gray planes running a shuttle SER
vice of destruction along the Aleu-
tian chain.
The big ply Catalina flying
boats located the Japanese in Kis-
ka harbor June 10. They had moved
in during a stormy week.
BATTLE BEGINS
The battle began June IL when
the first flights of Navy Catalinas
and Army fortress and B-24 Lib
orators began freighting bombs to
KiSka.
Singly and in flights of two or
three, the workhorse CatalinaS slid
across the mile high peak of Kiska
volcano and down on the ships in
the harbor. That day one heavy
cruiser two light cruisers, a single
destroyer and half a dozen trans

the bypass.
The structure under repair was
part of a check installed by Mexico
to raise the water level and pro-
vide gravity irrigation for approx
mately $1,000 acres of land. part
of which had previously been irri-

than $3.50 in checks, plus other val
liable loot. To cash the checks, the
thieves would have to commit the
additional offense of forgery and
find a gullible person willing to
take them, however.
In another place two men, be-
lieved to be the same responsible
for the first burglary, handled $50
in currency and threw it on the
floor. They evidently did not know
it was in the small book which they
tossed to the floor while ransacking
bedroom.
BURGLARS VICTIMS
Victims of burglars during the
weekend we're j. D. Huston, living
near Imperial; E. E. Wake, a mile
and a half south of Ell Centre on
the Calexico highway; and j. E.
Coones, west of the Dahlia canal
on Main street.
In other crimes, thieves stripped
both front tires and outside rear
dual tires from a truck registered
to Paul Gabiola near Heber, and
Ed Harrigan told sheriff's deputies
that magnetoes, generators and
cushions had been stripped from
two tractors in field near the
border road two and quarter miles
east of Calexico.
Burglaries of the Huston and
Wake places we're believed commit
ted by the same two men. In each
case they drove car onto the prem
iseS while the families were away,
entered by cutting a screen or fore
ing screen inwards, slashed tele-
phone wires while they operated.
and drove away with their loot.
Both crimes we're done Saturday
night, probably within short time
of one another.
From the Huston place, the thieves
apparently carried away 500 war
bond, later tossing it away, for 1t
was found nearby by a zanjero for
the Imperial Irrigation District. War
bonds are not negotiable.

AS now written, the bill calls for
anormal and surtax rate of as per
cent and an excess profit rate of
87h per cent. The committee plans
to offer an amendment to revise the
rates soon after the house convenes
at noon.
The measure is scheduled for
house passage today.
The committee originally had set
the normal and surtax rate at 40
per cent and the excess profits rate
at "a per cent. 1t changed them last
week, however, to As per cent and
87k per cent, respectively.
The measure is being rebated
under a rule which permits the
house to act only on amendments
offered by the ways and means
committee.
