Soviet troops surged ahead in
their drive on Viipuri and the

opinion was freely expressed in
many quarters in London today
that Finland might be knocked
out of the war by the end of this
month.
The latest Moscow-communique
said the Finnish were putting
up stubborn resistance from
prepared positions but had
failed to halt the Red Army's
Karelian offensive. The bulletin
announced the seizure Of Raj
VIOLA, about 40 miles from Viii
puri, and Kivennapa, about 10
miles northeast of Raivola.
To the British people the Sow
let Karelian Isthmus offensive
came as somewhat Of a sur
prise, for many had believed
that Stains strategy would be
to strike first in Romania in the
hope of SCATTERING the last YES

Tortured u. S.


NEW YORK, June 13-(P)-
Stanley Richardson, NBC re-
porter from London, said in a
broadcast from London last
night that there is "indisputable
evidence that the Germans tor
tured and murdered" American
paratroopers during the early
hours of the Normandy landings.
Richardson, who had just re-
turned from headquarters of an
American airborne division near
Carentan, said in one instance
the bodies of three American
enlisted paratrooperS, stripped
to the waist, with their hands
bound, were found in a heap
beside the wall of a former Ger
man command post.
There is every indication"
said Richardson, that t h g
Americans were executed after
they had been captured, in vio-
lation of the rules Of war"
In second case the body Of
second lieutenant was found
with his throat cut and a Ger
man army knife beside him.
Richardson said that according
to the men of the command post
who discovered the body, the
officer landed in a tree and was
murdered as he hung helpless
there"
