$4,000 NEEDED FOR
HARVESTING APPLES

Boston, June 7.-+(UP)-John
Chandler, president of the New
York and New England Apple IN
stitute, suggested today that war
prisoners be used to help provide
the $4,000 extra persons needed to
harvest New England apple crops
and prevent wastage of fruit.
Chandler said that scarcity OF ex-
perienced labor and extra pickers
would limit the supply of apples
from the $4,000 acres of orchards.
Nothing like the 10000 bushel
bumper crop of 1912 is expected" he
said, "but all indications point to
normal crop of about 100000
bushels"
Labor, he said, and not gasoline
or machinery pose the most serious
difficulties for the farmers.

 Moscow, May 2l.-(UP)-Russian troor., heavily supported by artil- lery, were reported today to have widened their bridgehead along a 1l0-mile stretch of the .Donets river, southeast of Kharkov, after break ing up German attacks.
 The newspaper IZvestia, official organ of the Soviet supreme coun- ell, reported that heavy artillery duels had broken a stalemate of several weeks in the Donets Basin.
 The Germans were said to have made futile attempts to destroy the Russian bridgeheads along the right oank of the river, south of Izyum, <rasny-Linman and LisichanSky.
 The Red Army repulsed tank, in- fantry and air attacks and then counter attacked to deepen and widen their bridgeheads, it was said.
 The newspaper reported that areas to the west and southwest of the river were honeycombed with trenches and other supplements forming a strong Russian defense offense line.
 It was in that area that the So- viet winter campaign begged down after rushing all the way from the Stalingrad district.
 Reports from the front said the Germans attacked all day yesterday al I iIAa hat n sian troops had broken the attacks and improved their own positions.
 Artillery duels and intensified air and naval engagements were re- ported in the Novorossisk area where the Russians have been try ing for weeks to drive the Germans out of their chief stronghold on the Taman Peninsula of the Caucasus.
 The Soviet midday communique said four German planes were de- stroyed in combat and by anti-air- craft fire in this area in the last "A hours. Red artillery cleaned out l2 enemy dugouts and pillboxes and silenced several artillery and motor batteries.
 The Russian high commands midnight communication reported six self-propelling barges carrying Axis troops were sunk by warships Of the Russian Black Sea fleet near Anapa, 27 miles northwest of No- Vorossisk.
 Today's fighting in the Kuban area was said to have centered northeast of Noyorossisk, but the earlier communique told Of an at- tempted attack by four German regiments, or up to 12,000 men, to the east of the Black Sea base.
 It was believed the Germans might be attacking on this new front in order to divert Soviet strength from the southern approaches to the city. The enemy action was pre- ceded by heavy artillery and mortar barrages The Russians counter-at- tackled, inflicted heavy casualties and captured men and equipment.
 At the northern end of the front, in the Leningrad area, Red artillery and attack planes were reported to have blown up several enemy

PHYSICIANS WIFE
 MISSING IN WOODS
BIOOdhOunds Aid in Search for Mrs. Carol DOWner
 in Vermont ,

Averill, Vt., May 21-(UP) Blood hounds arrived here today to aid in the search for Mrs. Carol Downer, 33-year-old wife of g Kingston, N Y. physician, who has been missing in a Canadian border wilderness since Wednesday.
 The woman's husband, Dr. Morti- mer 5. DoWner was cooperating with deputies, woodsmen and other volunteers in the hunt, which eX- tended throughout the Averill lake area, q famous fishing paradise. A, B. Franzoni, a Stae investigator, came here from Montpelier with the bloodhounds to take charge of the hunt.
 Dr. and Mrs. Downer had been vacationing at Qulmby's inn on Averill lake.
 Dr. Downer reported at mid-morn- ing that no trace of his wife had been found. She had been missing approximately 48 hours
 The physician went fishing on a stream near the inn Wednesday and his wife accompanied him. While he flshed, she strolled through the woods. She was last seen at il a. m. Wednesday only a short distance from the inn. At mid-afternoon pr. Downer became worried and he and others made preliminary search.
 On an old tote road they found some footprints-apparently hers, but the trail could be followed only Q short distance.
 Emphasizing the density of the woods in this area, Atty. Gen. Alban J. Parker of Vermont recalled that two other persons had vanished without Q trace in the vicinity since last summer.
 The first was fisherman, Irving c. Coyllle of East Brighton, Vt, and the other was James J. Prayers, u. S. customs officer and former resi- dent of Charlestown, Mass, who dis appeared last fall while hunting.
 Parker said that the weather con- ditions at his time of year would impose no severe hardship on the woman.
