portion to the gathering intensity
of the battle.
Red Star, the Soviet Army organ
said the Germans concentrated big
forces in narrow sectors to plunge
against the Soviet positions like
battering rams. Soviet anti-tanb
cannon in front line positions blast
ed apart the nose of the rams
while field guns and infantry cut
swaths through the German infan-
try.
The Russians fell back to the vi
cinity of Brussilov, AZ miles south
west of Kiev and SO miles east OF
zhitomir, yesterday after yielding
an unspecified number Of towns and
villages along line stretching to
Chernyakhov, 10 miles north OF
Zhitomir, under overwhelming en-
envy pressure.
1000 Killed
More than 1000 German tanks
were knocked out and 1000 enemy
officers and men were killed in the
see-saw fighting, a Russian COM
munique said. Red air force planes
striking deep into the enemy rear
bombed and strafed German re-
serves moving toward the front and
shot down 10 aircraft in aerial COM
bat.
German Marshal Fritz Erich Won
Mannstein was concentrating his
main strength against the yieldir ?
Societ lines southwest of Kiev in an
attempt to force the Russians back
on Kiev, much as they fell back to
Kharkov and eventually Yielded
that city at the end of the 1912
Russian winter offensive.
The withdrawal yesterday was the
third acknowledged by tn Soviets
since MannStein launched h s
ounter-offensive nearly two weeks
ago, but the Soviets meantime have
rushed reserves across the Dniepel
and it was believed that the Ger
man assault soon would be contain
ed.
On all other fronts from White
Russia to the Dnieper bend, the
Russians gained new ground.
Bridgehead Widened
Some 1865 miles southeast of Kiev
the Russians widened their new
bridgehead across the Dniepel
south of Kremenchug and captured
seven strongly-fortified enemy de-
Tense points, including Likarevka
"a miles northwest of the railway
hub of znamenka. N rly 3,00y Ger
mans were killed and IS tanks and
armored cars were wrecked.
Other Soviet f rec deep inside
the Dnieper bend forced wide en-
envy minefield and captured at least
nine German strongholds.
Northwest of Kiev, the Russians
overran 40 hamlets along the lower
rim of the Pripet Marshes. A num-
Der of additional villages were seiz-
ed west of Rechitsa on the northern
edge of the mrashes.
The Soviets stormed closer to
Gomel, southern a1lcht of the Ger
man defenses in White Russia,
from the north after breaking fierce
enemy counter-attaCks and killing
1900 officers and men. The German
escape gap to the northwest was
narrowing steadily.

Nilnitz expected strong counter

recover from the initial staggering
blow but new reports showed the
U. S. fleet sent to the mid-Pacif1c
was strong one. At least five
American aircraft carriers we're be-

so long as the Japanese main
feet is intact, it behooveS us to
maintain sufficient forces to be sure
the engagement comes out in our
favor" Nimitz said, expressing be-
lief that at some point in the pro-
gress across the Pacific the enemy
will throw his powerful units into
action.
While saying he thought the
Japanese will finally be defeated
from China, he added we will moi
neglect any roads to Tokyo anc
that the mid-Pacific route would be

are available.
The caliber of those resources

lin from which the capital will find
it difficult to recover.
The first hit the administrative
heart around the Wilhelmstrasse,
unter den Linden and Wilhelmplatz,
where virtually all government
buildings were concentrated. Swed-
ish reports said bombs destroyed the
private reidence OF Adolf Hitler,
near the Reichschancellory, and
those of Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop and Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels on
the Wilhelmstrasse.
The second swath cut through the
diplomatic quarter in the old west
end around the Tiergartenstrasse,
where Swedish reports said the
British and French embassies were
destroyed.
The third swath devastated the
modern west-end amusement dis
trict of Kurfuerstendamn, around
which were grouped fashionable
cafes, restaurants and theaters,
many of which must now be black
ened shells.
Blow To Pride
Devastation in the center of Ber-
lin probably was the heaviest blow
to Nazi pride. The Pariserplatz, on
which the American and French
embassies and the Adlon Hotel were
situated, saw scores of flamboyant
demonstrations, including Hitler's
triumphant return from Austria
and Czechoslovakia and the victory
parade after the fall of the French
in 1910.
Ribbentrops residence on Will
helmstrasse, which Swedish reports
said was destroyed, was handsome
yellow palace in which Hindenburg
resided as president and on which
the foreign minister spent tens of
thousands of dollars of taxpayers
money in rebuilding and re-decorat-
ing 1t.
The vast mausoleum- like, yellow
faced Reichschancellory just off the
Wilhelmstrasse was built by Hitler
in 1888 as a permanent monument
to himself and will be harder to
destroy as it was designed to be
bomb proof with nine-foot thick
concrete roof on which anti aircraft
guns were mounted. Strong air raid
shelters were constructed below it.

next invasion objective.
Light Casualties
The offensive so far, Nimit2 said,
cost only light casualties on Maxim
and somewhat heavier casualties on
Tarawa. Not an American ship had
been lost up to the time of his re-
port the Japanese had tried nothing
but intermittent air attacks.
When neWspapermen asked him
to expand on the long range aspects
of the offensive begun 3,100 miles
southwest of Tokyo--to answer the
| question where do We go from
ere?"-Nimitz replied with a con-
fident smile:
Wherever the Japs are. The OBJ

We expect to have some airfield
probably one on Maxim as we'll as
Tarawa. We hay got to have places

to meet the Jap fleet
Nimitz and his spokesman gave
the first detailed reports OH the
Gilberts attacks which started with
the invasion of Maxim, northern
most of the islands, and Tarawa
to the south almost on the equator,
on Saturday morning.
Very few enemy prisoners were
taken and the Japanese defenders
suffered very heavy casualties, y
Ninitz said. There were only 1000
enemy troops on maxim but some A.
600 to 5000 on Tarawa and adjacent
islands, which were attacked by Ma
rine veterans of the Solomons.
On Maxim, the Americans gained
extensive military installations, q
radio station, munitions dudmps,
barracks, seaplane ramp and sew
eral piers into the lagoon. Some en-
envy planes were destroyed. Shippers
still were being cleared out.

"that within a short period of time
the remaining independents will be
forced into full cooperation with
the pool and that the industry's
policy of restrictive production and
high prices will continue unless
some completely satisfactory substl-
tute may be found for Quebracho
Berge said that a former citizen
of this country, John B. Sullivan,
graduate of HarYard College, was
chairman of the board of Forestal.
"Forestars economic dominance
in Argentina has enabled it to exert
great influence upon the govern
ment of Argentina" Berge said.
"For example. in 1912 the efforts OF
John B. Sullivan alone were pri-
marily responsible for the imposition
by the Argentine ministry of agri-
culture of highly restrictive export
quotas upon each producer"
He said Forestals domination ex-
tended over distribution as well as
production. Through st. Helen's
Ltd, a Canadian corporation, Berge
said, Forestal owns substantially all
the stock of Tannin Products Corp,
a Delaware corporation, which IN
turn owns all of the capital stock
of the Tannin Corporation, a New
York corporation. Tannin Corp, he
added, imports about 10 per cent OF
all Quegracho consumed in this
country.
