KUIBYSHEV, U. S. S. r.. April T.
Thirty German occupied commu-
mites and a large railway station
have fallen before fierce Red Army
attacks in the last two days In one
sector of the western front, military
dispatches reported today.
With land comhatS continuing in
various regions, the Communist
party newspaper Pravda said the
Germans show they are prematurely
tapping their springtime reserves by
using tanks painted khaki, rather
than winter white in Nazi counter
attacks.
Intensified aerial warfare was re-
ported today to have cost the Ger
mans AIS planes in the eight days
from March 20 through April S,
while Red Army losses were held
to 48.
119 Destroyed Sunday.
Soviet flyers and gunners de-
stroyed 1l9 German aircraft in sky
combat and on airdromes Easter
Sunday alone while 'our losses were
II planes" the Soviet Information
Bureau said.
(The bureaus figures indicated
aerial action of a scope unparal-
leled in Russia since the first
days OF the German invasion
last summer. Such details, how
ever, as the major combat areas
and the proportion Of victims
shot down were not announcedD
Red Army men were officially de-
clared to have killed 1900 Germans
In two days on the Leningrad front
and recaptured 18 more settle
ments on the Kalinin front to the
south.
"On another sector OF the front"
the information bureau said, Soviet
artillerymen In two days fighting
destroyed II blockhouses and de-
fense works and machine-gun
nests"
A counterattack on the central
front was said to have been re-
pulsed by the Russians with Staying
OF about 100 Germans, capture of
i've machine guns and disabling of
three tanks.
Hungarians Revolt.
Tass declared In an Istanbul dis
patch that some men of a Hun
garian regiment ordered to the Rus
sian front had revolted. About 10
soldiers who signed a petition say
ing they did not want to fight the
Russians were arrested. and ring
leaders were shot, it said.
The Moscow radio said so Nazi
parachutists attempted to drop be-
hind Russian line which had re-
PEELED repeated ground assaults, and
Red Army machine gunners put up
such hail of fire that only three
reached the ground alive
Increased use of cavalry and
horse-drawn sledges by the Red
Army is expected during the next
six or eight weeks as the battle
front becomes a vast quagmire.

TRUE LIBERTY.
BY Clara Aiken Specr

To do as n may please is not
True liberty, though men awhile
May think it so, ana find delight
In self--indulgent ways, and smile
Derisively at those who walk
With vital conscience for their
guide.
These live in arrogance and SCorn
OF others rights and welfare,
chide
Tho7e who believe in s~elf-control
And sacrifice. These will not pay,
In peace or battle, freedoms wage
But yield unto a tyrant's sway.
Real freedom is the liberty
To do as one believes he must,
In justice and in mercy, do.
The man who has it puts his trust
In Gods eternal Veritics:
And, knowing well what freedom
is,
Will give hi service and his strength
His life. his all, to keep it his.
