AS tension grew within occupied
Europe German nervousness was
reported on the increase. Nazi
military authorities were reported
to have begun evacuating civilians
from the coastal areas OF France

Blare Threat
Further Aazi nervousness was
betrayed in the blaring threat
broadcast by the Paris radio that
American and British prisoners
would be executed unless Allied air
forces ceased their devastating
raids on industrial targets in the
Reich and occupied Europe.
AS open revolt grew on the west

230 miles west of Moscow. Front
line dispatches said the Germans
were falling back on Smolensk,
setting fire to Russian villages in
their wake in an effort to check the
Red army's advance.
Soviet forces driven from Khar-
kov fought desperately east and

que announced that Russian forces
had evacuated Kharkov after a
