tested an apparent conviction that
a land onslaught against the conti-

One German broadcast said the
landing efforts were certain to be

other men are being trained for
the job. Another said reinforce
mentS had arrived in France, and
elite guardsmen had marched west
ward through Paris.
HAVE HANDS FULL
Meanwhile the Nazis apparently
had their hands full in France,
where guerilla forces were harass-
ing them and rebelling against at
tempts to muster workers for SER
vice in Germany.
At the same time prospects bright
ened for a complete union of the
French elements led by Gen. Char
les De Gaulle and Gen. Henri Hon
ore Giraud. De Gaulle said Giraud's
speech Sunday meant great progress
toward the objectives of the Fight
ing French and reaflirmed his will
ingness to negotiate on full unity.
The Germans apparently had re-
occupied all or the better part of
Kharkov giving them a valuable
springboard for any spring often
sive they may contemplate in south
Russia. They claimed the city, and
the Russians spoke only of fighting

ISSUE CALLS
The Russians have not yet ad-
mitted the fall Of Kharkov, and
the Soviet press still was issuing
stirring calls for a last ditch stand
similar to that at Stalingrad, indi-
eating the Red army still has foot
hold in the outskirts of the city.
But it was quite apparent that
the Nazis had succeeded in muster
ing superior strength and catching
the Russians off balance on this
front, and they were expected to be
:.ole to hang on to Kharkov for
the present.
On the other hand it was believed
the Russians ShOuld De aDle 10 HALL
tain their delenses along the line
of the east bank of the Donets
river southeast of kharkov. The
Kharkov front may fall into a lull
unless the Russians Unexpectedly
manage to bring up reinfoscementS
for a counterdrive.
SUFFER SETBACK
The Importance of Kharkov lies
not in the fact that the Russians
have suffered temporary set
back, but in its advantages as
position of a springboard for a new
Nazi offensive along the pattern OF
that last year.
Whether the Germans were in a
position to press another offensive
to the southeast still was uncer-
