Marshal Rommel Will Have
 To Reorganize His Invaders
Russia Battles Desperately But Needs Help From United Nations
Serious Situation Has Been Created By Nazis
 in New Offensive
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, July 6-CUP)-The Red Army drove Axis forces back across a strategic river in fierce battles to stem the enemy advance on the southern front but the government newspaper Izvestia today empha- sized the urgent need for United Nations aid in the life or death struggle of the Soviet Union.
 Dispatches from the front left no doubt as to the seriousness of the military situation created by an Axis offensive toward the vital communications lines of the Don river and by massing of huge en- emy forces" in the Don basin to strike toward the Caucasus. There was no undue pessimism in military circles in Moscow, however.
 (The Germans claimed to have crossed the Don River, 130 miles East of Kursk and established 8 number of bridgeheads, trapping large Soviet forces. Moscow dis patches did not make clear whether the repulse of the enemy at "a strategic river" referred to the Don.)
 The press pointed out in sober dis patches that the war was entered its most decisive stage for Russia, but said that the government and the armed forces were still confi- dent of ultimate victory.
 Must Get Help Soon
 Without direct reference to the front, Izvestia warned that poten- tial resources of the United Nations will be valueless unless they are thrown into action very soon, pre- sumably on second European front.
 "A possibility is not a reality" the newspaper said. "In order to achieve victory, 1t. is necessary fully to realize and utilize Allied re- sources"
 Tn regard to the fighting, front line dispatches told of large scale battles on vital sectors from Kal- min, northwest of Moscow to Khar- kov. On the Kursk- -Kharkov front the center of the German push toward the Don-the Germans managed to cross an important river after a number of costly attacks, led by airplanes. and tanks.

Most ''Safe And Sane"
 Holiday In Many Years
Only 2I6 Persons Met Death, All Over Nation, in Three-Day Holiday Period; l6 People Were
 Killed in Connecticut
(Ry United Press)

(Undated) The nation enjoyed Its most "safe and sane" Fourth ot July holiday in years.
 The accidental death toll for the three-day, wartime holiday stood at 216, approximately one third the number of casualties fol. an average peace time summer weekend.
 The nation reported 116 traffic deaths, 61 drownings and 39 miscel- laneous deaths. No fireworks fatal ities were reported.
 The final figure was expected to fall below the $50 predicted by the National Safety Council, which es- timated that more than 400 lives would be lost in traffic accidents on a normal peace-time weekend More than 800 perossn were killed in traffic accidents on last years Fourth of July.
 Full time production in war plants, displacement of population by the draft, the rubber shortage and gasoline rationing were contri- outing factors in keeping the death toll down.
 California with 28 dead, led the states In the number of holiday casualties. Michigan was second with 20 and Illinois third with IS.
 Highway traffic was reported heavy in the east, but motorists cur. tailed speed to save tires. Fort Erie Ont, reported 10000 American cars entered Canada at that border point with l1,0Oo automobiles crossing the Peace Bridge at Buffalo, N. Y., only 1000 less than last years all time record.

 There's keen competition in the American Air Force ranks to join Every one of our fellows wants a the combat crews" he said today. crack at the Japs."
 Rubenstein, bombardment ad- jutant, exhibited a stack of letters from enlisted men seeking informa- - ton as to how they could join combat crews.
 He told how two enlisted men spent their accumulated leaves to travel 250 miles at their own ex- pense in an effort to become aerial gunners. The extra pay for flight crews, he said, was only secondary matter.
 Rubenstein cited Corp. Gordon w. Barton, 26, of Plant City, Fla, as typical example"
 Barton formerly was the chief cook at headquarters mess, and I hated to see him leave the kitchen because he was the best pastry cook we had in three years," he said. But I finally agreed to arrange a transfer"
 Barton told Rubenstein he didn't mind cooking in peace time, but that he wanted to became a war time gunner.
 "I've had some hot raids" Barton said. "One of my closest slaves came when a 0-millimeter shell hit the turret of our plane, wounding the tunnel gunner and myself. But don't want to return to the mess hall. I'd much rather shoot Japs." "

 Barton said he got nicked" on May IA when his plane dumped homhs on Lac h Che New Guinea invasion area.

 Whether that army will strike northeast into Chinese Yunnan province along the once-valuable Burma road, or due west for the treasures of India, along the route on which I accompanied retreating allied armies this sprin, is not yet clear to British leaders
 There are indications, however, that the preparations envisage a drive through Yunnan to the im- portant crossroads city of Kun ming. Principal among these indi- cations is that the Japanese also are concentrating troops and equip inert in northern Indo-China which points to a possible squeeze play the Axis-favored pincers - from both southeast and southwest with Running in the center,
