RUSS LINES
 HOLD UNDER { BIG ATTACK
Main Line of Soviet De. .fense Intact Despite
 Counter Blows

MOSCOW, Nov. 24.-Strong Ger man forces pushing toward Kiev il: a violent tank and air attack fail ed to break the Russian army po- sitions in depth, the army newspa- per Red Star reported.
 The three successive retreats which the Russians made since the start of major German counter attacks in the Ukraine are attri- buted to the heavy pressure of su- perior enemy numbers, but the Red Star indicated that the main Rus sian line is intact for the decisive stage.
 Strong new Soviet attacks along the lower Dnieper River north of Nikopol and near Cherkassy were repulsed after temporary break throughs, according to a German communique, and the Nazis claim that strong Russian forces were encircled west of Kiev when that city was captured on November 6. Today the Nazis are within 45 miles of Kiev in the environs of Brusiolov, after covering nearly daif of the distance back from zhitomir. Red Star reports, and the German offensive is in the triangle between the Pripet and Dnieper rivers and the border between White Russia and the Ukraine.
 Bragin, town 65 miles south west of Gomel was captured by forces which penetrated deep into the enemy defenses through swamps at midnight, according to the Rus sian army newspaper, summing up a violent day of combat in which nearly 5000 Germans and 108 tanks were destroyed on all fronts.

to defending Alaska. it being then early in l942, our plan, since con- summated, was to ferry combat planes to Fairbanks, there to be delivered to the Russians for use against Germany on the Russian front. This short Arctic route to Russia is the best available route from this country to Alaska by way of Edmonton and then along the line of airfields through White horse to Fairbanks.
 A large number of planes have been delivered to the Russians along this route and are still being de- livered in undiminishing numbers. ,

NAzI(ApITAL
 BLASTED BY
 HARD BLOWS
FIam es Rage Over City Blocks . Industrial
 Centers Smashed

LONDON, Nov. 24-The Royal Air Force hurled tons of destruction down on Berlin again last night, seeking a second night success to knock out the capital city of Ger many, much of it already de- vastated.
 The force of the weight of the bombs dropped last night probably approached but did not exceed the record of Monday night when over 2,300 tons were delivered by approxi- mately 1000 bombers, nearly all of them four -engined giants in a concentrated and effective" air at tack.
 In the second attack, last night, on the worlds most-bombed capital, despite more favorable weather for defense. only 20 planes failed to return to bases. Twenty-six planes were lost in the first attack.
 Simultaneously with the second night attack on Berlin, Mosquito plane attacks were made on western Germany.
 Chaotic Conditions
 Berlin. already suffering chaotic conditions of the first nights raid. the greatest attack in aerial history, was for the second time in "A hours plastered with all kinds of bombs last night. a new deluge.
 Dispatches received in London from Stockholm. sent by correspond ents in Berlin, said new fires creat- ing walls of flames" for more than one mile long. swept Berlin after the second attack.
 Fires started by incendiary bombs last night linked up with the flames still burning from the Monday at- tack
 25,000 Killed
 One dispatch from Stockholm says it is estimated that more than 25,000 were killed in Mondays att tack and added that the center of Berlin" was again the main target last night, railway stations, gas and water mains suffering heavily and that Berlin is isolated by telephone and telegraph communication.
 The telegrams received in London from Stockholm are apparently be- ing sent from Hamburg but it is not known how they are being re- layed from the capital as Berlin's communication systems are don- mated by Hitler as are virtually all continental centers.
 It is said that representatives of legations bombed out in Berlin are still trying to contact their col leagues and the impact of paralyzing attacks indicate that not only the large war industrial suburbs have been bombed in the new aerial drive but legation buildings are also gone.
 Bombs Rock City
 Dispatches from the Stockholm Alton Tdningen assert that explo- sions from blockbusters rocked all sections of Berlin but fires provided the worst horrors as storms of clouds of ashes swept through streets often in terrific gusts of flames caused by peculiar effect of bomb blasts and explosions which seemed to create 3 vacuum, followed by a cyclonic wave.
 Fire fighters were unable to cope with their tasks and entire areas of ten to 12 blocks long were en- velopcd in flames this morning.
 Thousands of residents came out from their shelters this morning only to. be met by flames of fire. There is little if any water.
