Red Airmen Destroy 65 Nazi Planes
Out Of Large Group Attacking Kursk
LOSE TEN ;. CRAFT
Artillery Fire Punctures
Long Fronts At Widely
Separated Points

LONDON, Sunday, May 23-R
- Russian airmen and gunners
destroyed IS German planes Out
of a large formation that attack
ed Kursk, a main base supplying
Red army troops threatening axis
held Orel, 80 miles to the north,
Moscow announced early today.
A broadcast recorded by the
Soviet monitor said Russian fight
er pilots shot down Sc of the enc
my planes yesterday morning on
the outskirts of the city, and anti.
aircraftmen downed nine others.
This broadcast was revision OF
an early announcement which
placed axis losses at A planes.
Lose Ten Planes
Ten Russian planes were lost in
the action.
The midnight communique also
announced that the Red airforce
destroyed or damaged approx
mately 10 German tanks, more
than so trucks carrying troops and
supplies, and three railway trains
in Fridays operations in various
sectors. In addition three artillery
batteries were reported silenced,
an enemy patrol ship and two
motorboats sunk, and an ammu-
milton and fuel dump blown up.
German dispatches have pre-
dicted major Russian offensive
soon in the Orel sector, and the
heavy attack on Kursk apparently
was prompted by that axis ner-
vousness over its positions at the
hinge of the central and southern
fronts.
"Only an insignificant number
of. German planes broke through
to Kursk and dropped bombs hap
hazardly, causing some damage to
apartment houses, and some cas-
ualties among civilians" the Mos
COW announcement said.
Sporadic artillery fire punctu'
ated the long Russian fronts at
number of widely separated fronts
but there was no general change
in the land front where both sides
were piling up stores of ammu
milton, tanks, and men for an ap
preaching summer battle expect
ed to be the most decisive of ths
war.
Time alone will tell which side
takes the offensive, and Londor
military observers say a German
push in overdue, perhaps delayed
by allied invasion threats in the
west and south.

Nipponese Apparently Do

OF Surrendering
POSITIONS OUTLINED
Army Bombers Make First
Attack In Eight Days On
Big Kiska Base
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, May o.
(P Triumphant American
troops have split the Jap
anese remnants on Attu is
land into three isolated groups
in prepartion for the final
battle, the Navy disclosed to-
day.
This was the 18th day of
fighting on the rocky island.
Fighter-bombers support
ing the ground forces de-
stroyed Attu village, appar-
emily the enemy's supply Gen.
ter, yesterday. A fuel depot
went up in flames and other
installations took fire. A
church and one other struc-
ture were the only buildings
that rose above the ruins of
the little Aleut settlement.
The Japanese evidently had no
more intention of surrendering, de-
spite the hopelessness Of their po-
sition, than they have had in other
tight spots of the war in New Gui-
nea and Gaudalcanal. There was no
doubt among authorities here that
the fight would go on until the
last enemy soldier has been blasted
or hayoneted from the last foxhole.
The navy communicate today
brought the fighting up to date,
covering not only the activities of
Friday but also Thursday on which
yesterdays communique had not
reported.
Positions Outlined
The Japanese positions were de.
scribed in the communique as be-
ing in:
1. The area around Chichagof
harbor, which dents the northeast.
ern tip Of the island.
2. Chichagof valley, which cleaves
the snow-covered mountains south
west of the harbor.
8. The barren shores on the
north side of Lake Nicolas, which
lies probably two or three miles
southeast of the Chichagof area.
While the communique did not go
into detail on American positions
it appeared that spearheads had
been driven through Japan's COM
munication lines in order to effect
the isolation of the enemy's posi-
tions. Encirclement of all three po-
sitions appeared possible.
The Japanese, however, were still
holding some advantageously high
ground, at least in the area around
Chichagof harbor, and American

At the same time whirlwind

coast of France and other British
planes attacked railway targets in
occupied territory and laid mines
in coastal waters.
AS the allied aerial bombardment
of Axis Europe from all sides en-
