MOSCOW, June 5.-Fighting
to safeguard RusSias Arctic

from Britain and the United
States, the Red Air Force has
hammered home three hard at
tacks on the bases from which
German bombers have been
ranging the far northern sea-
ways, dispatches from Muir

At least 40 German planes were
said to have been destroyed in ad-
dition to the damage to the Nazi-
built landing fields presumably in
the Petsamo region of Finland and
the frozen North Cape country of
Norway.
Attacks Deep Behind Lines.

deep behind the German-Finnish
lines.
Twelve planes we're said to have
been smashed in the first attack, and
the second was said to have de-
stroyed Is more planes which the
Germans had just brought to the
northern front.
Three planes were reported wrecked
in a third bombing, in which pilots
said they blew up a German fuel
supply and splintered Nazi repair
shops.
The Germans continued sporadic
air raids on MurmanSk, met each
time by Russian fighters. In one
recent battle in the sky over the
port bomb laden German Junkers
was said to have blown up with an
explosion so terrific that a second
German plane following close behind
also was destroyed.
Reds Improve Positions.
With both armies throwing in
creasing numbers of men, tanks and
planes into local encounters all
along the front, the Red Army was
reported to have elected the Ger
mans from favorable lines and i'm
proved its own positions in the
Kalinin and Leningrad sectors.
The wide expanses of terrain now
open for maneuver allow the use OF
more troops and equipment, 1t was
said.
Russian sources said the Red
Army appeared to be maintaining
generally the initiative which they
seized in the winter campaign and
the Soviet Army situation was de-
scribed as 'incomparably better"
than last summer
Red Army artillery was reported
to have frustrated a German effort
to drive a wedge into Russian lines
on the Bryansk front, heavy she'll
fire forcing the invaders back to
their original positions with the loss
of 280 dead.
