and Valentines-sent from the Unit
ed States and Britain-were demon
strated to American correspondents
after they had been brought through
North Atlantic lines which the Ger
mans have been desperately at
tempting to interrupt with air and
U-boat attacks.
The readiness of the American
and British tanks and the continued
aggressive operations of the Red
army, not only on some sectors OF
the Kharkov front but in the Orel
and Kalinin areas, was disclosed at
a time when the Germans were
claiming a triumph in the Ukraine
fighting.
A German communique claimed
that the Russian 9Th, 9th and 57th
armies had been annihilated-that
is, broken UP for the time being
that 240,00O prisoners were taken
and 1,249 tanks, 2,O26 guns and 538
Russian planes knocked out.
RED LINES HOLDING
But the Russian dispatches said
that 1,400 more Germans had been
killed out of 1000 attacking on one
sector of the Kharkov south flank
near Izyuna, where 81 enemy tanks
were destroyed. 1t also was reported
that, after 10 days of fighting, the
Russian lines were holding and that

of Moscow.
The RAF renewed. big-scale raids
on the German war machine in
western Europe, attacking the Good
rich Rubber Works (now seized for
Nazi use) and the Gnome-Rhone
war factories in the Paris area for
the third time. Vichy dispatches said
great destruction had been done
to these war plants, some whole
districts being razed by the heavy
aerial onslaught.
Vichy put the dead at 40 and the
injured at more than 100, report
ing that the Goodrich plant may
have been destroyed" The Vichy
official statements also sought TO
stir up indignation of the French
people against the British as result
of the raids on Nazi war factories

their lives on the battlefield.
While Imperial Valley observed
the Memorial Day holiday quietly,

comes to this newest war, elsewhere
in America factories, arms plants,
shipyards, steel mills-all war in

unabated.
Valley cities scheduled their own
subdued ceremonies. Ell Centro's was
typical, including only a veterans
parade and a graveside tribute, ac-
companied by a firing squad cere-
mony and the sounding of taps.

world today" Ross T. Hickcox said
at Memorial day services at Ever

said, From Greenland's icy noun

Hickcox declared that never IN

An insight into the problems

keeping troops and war materials
moving was given Friday night by
K. C. Ingram, assistant to the

He touched cnly briefly on pro-

that the service cannot be i'm

New Type Guilt

STOCKHOLM, May 30 (UP)
The Swedish newspaper Dag

day that Nazi police courts in
Holland were empowered under
a recent decree to punish those
intellectually responsible" as
well as actual perpetrators and
accomplices of acts against the
German system.
Mere suspicion alone is suf-
ficient evidence for penalizing
these persons, the dispatch
said.
The German press was said
to have pointed out that Ger
