LONDON, April 26.-Russian
troops broke up a small-scale
German attack on the Donets
River front south of Balakleya
last night, killing about 100 Ger
mans, the midday communique
of the Soviet Information Bu-
reau said today.
The communique, recorded by the
Soviet radio monitor, did not men,
ton any fighting in the Northwest
ern Caucasus where Russian troops
surrounding the German occupied
naval station of Novorossisk have
been attempting to drive the Ger
mans into the Black Sea.
A Transocean broadcast from Ber-
lin last night acknowledged that the
Russians had taken the rocky noun
tain heights overlooking the port
and said the Red Army was lin pos
session of particularly good and
oVlo1lS pOS1GAOIlS. l llC oOVlet lI1lu-
night communique said only that
the Red Army had improved it's po-
sltions in that region.
In recent weeks the Germans have
been reported making desperate
counterattacks, apparently in an
effort to hold Novorossisk as
bridgehead for possible spring or
summer offensive.
Only minor local actions were re-
ported in the midday communique,
which said there were no significant
changes on the front. Seventy Ger
mans were reported killed on the
western front in skirmish and
Soviet artillerymen were said to have
destroyed some German positions in
the Belgorod region northwest of
kharkov. In another sector of the
Belgorod area, Russian riflemen and
machine gunners inflicted severe
punishment on company of Ger
man infantry on reconnaissance it
was announced.

discouraged and with athletic con-
tests involving travel frowned on.
With large portion of the rail-
roads none-too-great passenger
equipment given over to the armed
forces" said Owl, space for civil
ians is at a premium. Passenger
train schedules were frozen last
September and special extra sec
lions may be run only when per-
mitted by ODT. There is no con-
struction whatever of new passen-
ger equipment, nor will there be
any for the duration.
There is no talk, at the present
time, of the Government assuming
ownership and operation of the
railroads. (The Government does
operate 23O miles of railroad-the
Toledo, Peoria g. Western, taken
over in March, 1912, because a
labor dispute threatened to tie up
interstate commerce0 The Army,
lease-lend and other agencies agree
that the control system is working
reasonably we'll and it is generally
agreed that desire to avoid Gov
eminent controls has acted as
stimulus to the railroads to main
tain high degree of cooperation. ;"
Cites Conditions in Previous War.
Pointing to chaotic conditions dur
ing the First World War, Owl said
the railroads had no central clear
ing agency at that time, but now the
car service division of the Associa-
ton of American Railroads arranged
for pooling freight cars and other
equipment This has tended to re-
lieve congestion of freight, which, it
was pointed out, moves westward as
we'll as Eastward in tremendous VOL
ume.
Of 434 planes operated by United
States and commercial airlines be-
fore the Pearl Harbor attack, al
most half have been taken over by
the armed services.
The Army uses these planes as
part of its vast fleet carrying mate
rails and personnel at home and
abroad. Despite this, certain air.
lines are carrying more civilian pas
sengers than before the war. While
members of the armed forces and
others on Government business are
given priority on plane seats, it still
is possible for civilians to obtain
space in most cities, though not al
ways on a particular flight.
