Battles around Kharkov, great
German kraine base, APP
preached final stages today as
German defenses about the city
crumbled undo the blows of the
Red Army.
Counterattacking fresh Ger
man reserves were unable TO
dislodge Soviet troops threaten

point 10 within five miles of the
city. The Russians we're said TO
be gathering for final assault.
(The Berlin radio reported

ever ne divisions, tank bril-
gades, artillery regiments and

on the whole eastern front was
increasing in violence.
The fall Of Chuguev, main
enemy bastion, % miles south
east Of Kharkov, cleared the
path for enlightenment of the
Ukrainian center.
The newspaper Red Star re-
ported the main battles were
raging along the Kharkov-Pol-
taVa rail line.
The capture Of Kilontaev, 80
miles up the VorSkala river
from Poltava, threatened that
German base. Operations there
run along a wide bulging front
stretching west from Kharkov
and jutting across the Kharkov-
Pouava railroad and back 10 the
district west OF Akhtyrka.
Dispatches on the Chuguev
battle described strong fortlfi-
cations through which the Ger
mans supplied their entire de-
lenses of the western bank of
the northern DonctS.
The city was finally taken
when other Soviet units crossed
the river in the region Of the
city itself after a violent three
directional assault.
The local population, armed
with German weapons, assisted
Red Army groups in capturing
Germans hiding in forests and
ravines around KharkoV.

the fighting was seen in the

ment and supplies TO the right
spots.
Tied in with these considera-
tions are Russian successes on
her central front. In the United
Nations war scheme, it would
appear that the most important
assignment for Soviet arms IS
TO keep right on pounding the
Nazis back toward their home
land.
Thus there might be no inn
perative reason now. from the
standpoint of combat strategy,
for the presence here of Russian
Premier Stain and an array Of
his military advisers.
VICTORY FOREMOST
1t may be that The President
and Churchill feel that the inn
mediate task 10 be accomplished
is the perfecting of plans for at
tanning the total victory they
have promised their peoples and
that the time has not yet arrlv-
ed 10 delVe deeply into present
and postwar problems of politi-
cal import
The Soviet announcement that
Russia had received no invita-
ton 10 the conferences here
offers support TO that possibility,
inaSmuch as any decisions, the
American chief executive and
British prime minister might
make in the realm OF interna-
tional politics and postwar Sc
curity hardly could be entirely
effective without full Russian &C
cord In them.
Nevertheless, the rapid turn
of events in all war theaters
since the two met last in May,
events which in some instances
seemed TO outStrip the most OPP
timistic expectations, suggested
to some persons waiting here 10
watch the conferences from the
sidelines that they might want
10 get ready soon for all even
Qualities should Nazi resistance
suddenly collapse.
Dipping purely info specula-
ton, there appears nothing 10
prevent the calling Of another
conference soon which Stain
could attend, or for that matter,
10 prevent Churchill's making
a round about return TO Lon
don by way OF Moscow.
POLITICAL ISSUES
