ment, after urgent consulations, ‘granted Germany permission to ‘move one division from Norway to Finland. : It was not known whether the Al‘pine’ division was that concerned in the Stockholm deliberations or ‘whether the Swedes were giving expost facto approval to a move which :Germany had already undertaken. The ' British were giving urgent consideration to the positions of ‘Finland and Sweden. It appeared ‘that Finland had become a virtual belligerent and that Sweden was on the brink of losing her long defended neutrality. The Russian Air Force bombed Helsinki at 3 a. m., today, a Finnish dispatch reported. This was the first Russian air "attack on the Finnish capital. Helsinki had several previous air ‘raid alarms but no bombings. However, fairly ~“widescale Russian bombings of airports, including the Helsinki airport, and German troop concentrations in Finland, have been carried out. The bombing came a few hours (after Finnish Premier Johan Wilhelm Rangell had told Parliament ‘at a secret meeting that the Government had taken “defensive” ; measures. against Russia with all ithe military means at its disposal. ‘He said that Russia had attacked Finland. Parliament voted confi‘dence in the Government unanimously, it was said.

Air War Continues

.. Both Germany and Russia con‘tinued their unprecedented air warfare. The Russians reported 76 German planes shot down and admitted loss of 17 Russian planes. It appeared likely that this figure minimized Russian air losses. The Germans claimed they had won air superiority but not air control over the fighting fronts. The Germans also reported some 400 Russian planes destroyed on the Bessarabian front. The Germans have estimated unofficially that 1200 Russian planes have been destroyed. The Russians admit the loss of more than 400 planes thus far, most of them destroyed on the ground. Berlin admitted that “weak” Russian air forces had attacked German territory. The Russian communique mentioned attacks on Memmel; Finnish ‘ports; Constanza, the hig Rumanian oil port; and many other points -in East Prussia and areas adjacent to the fighting lines.

“Limited Damage’

“Berlin also admitted attacks hy the Royal Air Force and the wording of the announcement indicated that these attacks were heavier than those of the Red Sea fleet. “Limited damage” was caused by the British attack, Berlin said. The British assault was concentrated on Bremen and Kiel. It was the 15th straight night of heavy RAF offensive action against Gers

more German planes were shot down over France yesterday, bringthe score to 148 since .June 11 or a loss of 46 British machines.

The RAF renewed its attack on the invasion coast with a daylight sweep this rning. Ankara heayd a rumor that the Russians had/rdropped 2000 parachutists at Ploesti, heart of. the Rumanian oil fields. The Russian communique indicated substantial successes for the Red Army on this front. . , All attempts by the German and Rumanian armies to cross the River Pruth were said to have been repulsed and Cernauti was said to have been the scene of a vigorous Red counter-assault. This #ront is possibly the most important to the Germans. It is here that the Nazis are within striking distance of the rich. Ukraine grain fields. The Italians said that they were sending an expeditionary force to fight alongside Germany against Russia. Premjer Mussolini was said to have addressed a “farewell” message to the force in' the Po River region today. Virginio Gayda, Fascist “editor, asserted in the Giornale. d'Italia today that the Axis and countries “associated with the Axis” have established “a complete blockade against Russia,” (Gayda did not make clear whether the Siberian port of Vladivostok is included in the blockade or whether Japan is aiding the Axis by barring access to that Far Eastern entrance point for supplies to Russia.) Gayda said that the complete blockade established by the Axis would prevent any Anglo-Saxon aid.

MONOPOLY CHARGED TO ALUMINUM FIRM

WASHINGTON, June 26 (U. P.). —The Senate Defense Investigating Committee charged in a report today that’ the Aluminum Company of America “had convinced the OPM of the adequacy of the supply (of aluminum) to avoid the possibility that anyone else would go into a field which they had for so many vears successfully monopolized.” “The investigation brought to light that we are facing a serious shortage of aluminum and that we do not now have the capacity to overcome the deficiency,” said the report.

MILAN, Italy, June 26 (U. P.).-— Angelo Motta, known as Italy's “plum pudding king,” | was sentenced to four years and six months in prison on charges of hoarding butter. The same tribunal acquitted Luigi Locatelli, the “Gorgonzola king,” of charges of hoarding milk.

DONOVAN SUGGESTS USE OF NAVY NOW

PITTSBURGH, June 26 (U. P,) — Col. - William J. Donovan, World War hero: who served as special emissary of President Roosevelt in

night inferentially urged that the United States enter the war now, when her aid would turn the tide of battle. : “Our . contribution at this time could be useful and effective,” he said in a speech before a: Freedom Rally at Syria Mosque. “We are not so weak and those who oppose us so strong that we are incapable of action. “We -do need time in which to be fully ready. We must not kick away that time so dearly bought, but through the assistance of our Navy and our air arm, we must gain that additional time which

Commissioner William A. Brown and Chief Deputy County Auditor Fabien W.

The only other solution proposed

i [by Commissioners was to advertise each article of merchandise sepa- ! rately.

“But the cost of this would be prohibitive,” declared Harry Hohlt, board president. All agreed that new legislation would have to be enacted to set up new bidding specifications under a central purchasing bureau. While new legislation is pending, Judge Ryan suggested that Commis-

“trick prices” and force firms to submit offers with fair prices for all commodities.

CENTRAL BUYING Today's War Moves

sians may be able ‘to hold out for months, and that if they can hold the fort until autumn, the German aftack wild have failed. That is based on what seems to be the present showing of the Russians. Continued losses of planes. and pilots, tanks and German destruction by air of meager Russian communications to the rear may change the picture. There is also the factor of the widely separated routes which the Germans can take into Russia, and probably are trying to take. Between the marshes and the mountains there are level stretches and “passes” over firm, dry soil ideally suited to a German panzer drive across the steppes. It will not be surprising if the Germans break through. However, if they do, it is but the preliminary to storming Russian defenses and positions deep into Soviet territory. The Russians, if they|q continue fighting: with the spirit they now are showing, ought to be able to fall back slowly over hundreds of miles of defensible territory, making the German advance extremely difficult. The Russians have the man power. It is a question of equip-

ment, particularly tanks and mobile

units, and of air strength.

‘The outcome of the’ war may he|-

decided here. If Germany. can force a quick Russian capitulation, she will be ready to concentrate against Britain and the Near East again. It would need-to be capitulation, however. Unless Russia surrendered, Germany ‘would be occipied interminably in mopping up that vast country, or holding what she may have won,

The longer Russia holds out, the

better off Britain will be. ‘The time element is previous. The tempo of:

American aid is likely to be increased day by day. Britain is already taking every advantage she can of the easing of German air pressure and the diversion of German air: strength to the East. . The Royal Air.Force apparently is throwing everything it can into’ day and night raids on German industfy and-communications, and the German-occupied. ports: from which invasion weuld comé. Britain is not in a position to land an expeditionary force in western Europe, but with her air arm she can do considerable damage to German's war production and make the path of invasion still more difficult.

When it became clear that the amount of equipment - needed was going to be greater than has ever been produced in two years . by ‘any country in the world’s history...

“motors,” 1s doing the impossible :

— 18 going ‘all out.”

Because we of Johns-Manville have had the privilege of serving the Automotive Industry ever since it was started, we know, at first hand, the indispensable job that is being done. We sincerely believe, however, that more people outside the industry should know a great deal more about the contribution the men of the Auto-

Johns-Manville joins with Frazier Hunt in paying sincere tribute to a

great industry and in saying to all America “Salute to Motors!”
