German Communique Also Claims Gains on Finnish Front; Informants Doubt Russia Can Close Gap Made in Capture of Smolensk.
BERLIN, July 19 (U. P.).—A High Command communique said today that German and Rumanian troops had forced a crossing of the Dniester River at several points on the Odessa front and that German -and Finnish troops, “breaking Russian resistance,” had driven to the north
shore of Lake Ladoga, on the

MOSCOW DENIES SMOLENSK FALL
Ferocious New Nazi Drive Near Nevel Reported in Communique.
MOSCOW, July 19 (U.P.)—.The Red Army was reported today to
‘ . be fighting furiously against a ter-
rific Nazi offensive in the Smolensk direction and that key city on the road to Moscow was indicated by the Russian High Command to be still in Russian hands. The German attack in the Smolensk area, it was indicated, is one of the flercest launched since the Nazi attack on the Soviet started. Great battles were raging simultaneously to the northwest on a 100mile front in the Polotsk-Nevel region. Here Soviet forces fought from positions west of the Dvina River from Vitebsk to the Leningrad Railroad. :
Nazis Reported Stalled
South, in the Bobruisk region, it seemed that the Germans—stalled by a stiff Soviet counter-attack —
have been unable to advance to the Dnieper River. The Germans had started a ferocious new drive in the Nevel area, on the Vitebsk-Leningrad railroad 60 miles north of Vitebsk, and the other battle centers were the Polotsk sector between Nevel and Polotsk, the Polotsk sector itself, and the Smolensk and Bobruisk areas to the south. : There was nothing of importance on other sectors of the front, the communique said.
Casualties Reported Heavy
Russian planes continued to bomb armored units and airports heavily, the communique said, and destroyed 32 German planes yesterday. Casualties were reported to be heavy on both sides in the day’s first communique which told of the Nevel drive and said there was fightalso in the Pskov-Porkhov (Leningrad) sector of the front. It was indicated that the Germans had sought vainly to break the Russian line.
In the Pskov-Porkhov sector]
the Germans were driving up the east side of Lake Peipus on Leningrad, in co-ordination with a second force which was striking along the northern side of the great Esthonian lake.
South Reported Quiet
In the Nevel area, 290 miles west of Moscow and 265 miles south of Leningrad, the Germans apparently had reached the Vitebsk-Leningrad railroad in a new phase of their drive. It was indicated that the Germans were concentrating on the Leningrad and Moscow fronts for the moment in an attempt to gain the big successes they had promised the German public and the world by this week-end, but there was no sign that they were doing any better than they had been.
Apparently the Kiev and Odessa Butt fronts, in the south, were relatively Chic
quiet.
CHIANG GETS NEW ADVISER
CHUNGKING, July 19 (U. P).— Owen Lattimore, expert on Mongolia
their defense, informants said, that
front north of Leningrad.
fied Stalin Line north of the Pripet Marshes had been ex-
tended over Smolensk.” The German-Rumanian general headquarters on the Bessarabian front had announced yesterday that German-Rumanian troops had reached the Dniester at several points, the nearest. of which is 80 miles from Odessa, chief port of the German-Finnish troops operating north of Lake Ladoga have been driving, somewhat slowly, toward the Leningrad-Murmansk railroa d, which extends up into the Arctic.
‘Near Great Victory’
German military quarters, expressing increased conviction that the Germans were close to a great victory, doubted that the Russians would be able to get reinforcements to close the “gap” in the Smolensk area of the Moscow front. Informants intimated that the Germans were driving ‘all along a 00-mile front between the Vibesk and Mogilev sectors, and were already operating miles beyond Smolensk. Explaining the 48-hour interval between an official news agency report that Smolensk had been taken and the High Command’s confirmation, informants suggested that the Russians might have counterattacked and that the High Command waited until these attacks had been smashed.
Highway Finished to Moscow.
An authorized statement said of the Smolensk situation: “With the destruction of considerable Soviet forces in the area between Vitebsk and Mogilev, German troops rapidly pushed forward eastwards. July 16 the important traffic center of Smolensk was taken. From here the finished part of the motor highway between Minsk and Moscow is leading to Moscow. “The city, with 160,000 inhabitants, where there are munitions.and airplane factories as well as large textile .and industrial plants, was defended by the Bolshevists with all means. German troops, however, again broke resistance with severe, bloody Bolshevik losses. German losses in the occupation of Smolensk were extraordinarily small.” So heavv were Russian losses in
it was doubtful that reserves could now be brought into action.

STATE BOARDS ARE APPOINTED
Schricker Makes Changes For All New 4-Member Trustee Groups.
Bi-partisan boards to operate 12 Indiana penal and benevolent institutions were announced today by Governor Henry Schricker. Changes were made in all of the four-member trustee groups. In several instances, the Governor's office said, the former boards had
included three Democrats and only one Republican. All boards now have two members from each party. “I have given careful consideration to these appointments,” the Governor said, “and I am confident that we have named capable persons interested in the welfare of the State’s charges.” Fourteen Indianapolis persons were named to the various boards. Under the institutions bill passed by the 1941 Legislature, the G. O.P. appointments to the boards were to have been made by Lieut.-Gov. Charles M. Dawson but complete: control was vested in the Governor by a recent Supreme Court decision.
Nominate Officials
The G. %. P. law also gave the boards the power to name superintendents for the various institutions, but the Attorney General's office has interpreted the court decision as giving the Governor the final: word in making the appointments. The boards may nominate the officials and will be responsible for operation of the institutions. The estimated 2500 employees of the State’s institutions will be selected under the merit system when the new G. O. P. merit law goes into operation. : Trustees of eight more institutions will be named within the next few days, the Governor said. The boards announced today were:

A gradual change is coming over Indianapolis traffic. It is coming
so slowly as to seem almost imperceptible. But motorists can see it by comparing traffic today with*a month ago. : A number of rush-hour bottlenecks have been eliminated. Left turns have been prohibited at more busy intersections. This is the work of the City’s new traffic engineer, James E. Loer. In the two months he has been at work on the traffic problem, Mr. Loer has done nothing spectacular. He hasn’t worked a single miracle, not even a small one. What he has done is to make numerous minor alterations in traffic flow, each too insignificant to make much difference, but all exerting a cumulative effect on traffic movement. Open Rush Lanes
* Por instance, motorists now notice
|that during rush hours, extra lanes
to speed the movement of traffic in and out of downtown have been opened on the main arteries. The extra lanes have been created by banning parking during the morning rush from 7 to 9 a. m. and the evening rush from 4:30 to 6 p. m. On the North Side, Illinois st., Capitol Ave. Meridian St. and Cen-
Iee|tral and College Aves. have that
added lane. On the East Side, E. Michigan St. is free of parking during the morn-
ub-|ing rush on the north side of the
street and in the evening on the south 'side. E. 10th St. one of the City’s busiest arteries, is also free of parking during rush hours. On the South Side, S. Meridian St. and Marison Ave. have been cleared. Motorists are making better time on the way home, especially cross town. During the rush, left turns have been prohibited at Sherman Drive and E. New York St, Noble and E. New York Sts, Noble and E. Market Sts. and st the three-way intersection of Massachusetts Ave., Delaware and New York Sts.
Relieve Congestion
These bans are designed to relieve congestion resulting from the jamming up of traffic behind motorists attempting to squeeze through oncoming traffic in order to turn left. : One of the engineer’s first recommendations was to clear 16th St. of parking between Delaware st. and

been much greater than expected. Only Preliminary These changes, however, are only preliminary... There are many more to come, more spectacular alterations which slowly but definitely are expected to change the driving habits of Indianapolis motorists. Certain ‘thoroughfares, like Illinois St., which are not used as heavily as other streets, are going to become mare popular because with the elimination of parking, motorists will no longer get stuck behind the street cars. If more motorists use Illinois St., the congestion on Meridian St. will be relieved. There are plans for intersection design which look tricky and difficult, but which are being drawn up experimentally to ease traffic jams. None of the more complicated traffic routings, however, will be attempted immediately. Simple Things First Mr. Loer is working on the simple things first in an effort to whittle down the traffic problem as much as possible before he tackles its more complex angles. : : In the meantime, the engineer is planning to attend the National Institute for Traffic Safety Training at the University of California at Berkeley early next month. He hopes to get some new ideas and also some advice on traffic flow at 16th St. and Northwestern Ave. which he is submitting to the course as a problem. So far, in the beginning stages of trafic engineering in Indianapolis, nothing showy and nothing sensational have been tried. It is the little things which have been done which are changing the City’s traffic picture.

ACCORD SIGNED
Cantons Get Vital Supplies Of Coal and Iron by. ~ Economic Pact.
By DAVID M. NICHOL Cop IO eo Dally ‘News, Tc. BERN, July 19.—Germany and Switzerland signed an economic accord today by which Switzerland is assured vital supplies of coal and iron in return for agricultural produce and fabricated goods of undisclosed amount and variety. Complex negotiations surrounding the agreement have been under way for weeks in Bern and Berlin and an earlier treaty which expired on June 30 was provisionally extended until today. The new agree-
ment was signed on behalf of the Swiss by Federal Councilor Kobelt and for Germany by Theodgre Kordt, counselor of the embassy here. Swiss Still “Neutral”
The major concession to the Germans was one of time, Switzerland agreeing to prolong the new trade arrangement until the end of 1942. Previously agreements have . been signed for six months and one in August for a year, on the ground that the European picture changes
be unfair, An official communique by the Swiss government described the new treaty only in general terms. It made the plain point that Switzerland “as a neutral country, always has attached great value to maintaining its commercial relationships with all states.” The new treaty covers not only German-Swiss trade relationships but provides additionally for clearing through the central German organization the transactions between Switzerland and the occupied territories rapidly expanding to include most of Europe.
Provide Short-Term Credit
It also includes at least shortterm credit arrangements for the Germans. The communique explains that Swiss exporters must count on “cetrain delays” in payment but says that these will not exceed three months. In addition to coal and iron the Germans agreed to send to Switzerland undisclosed amounts of sugar, seeds, potato sprouts, alcohol and fertilizer. Switzerland in return will supply cattle, fruit and ‘“certain quantities” of milk products. The Germans also agreed to assist the trinsport of materials from third countries to Switzerland across the Reich and occupied territories. Specifically mentioned were gasoline supplies from the Balkans.

FOOD PROBLEM DISRUPTS VICHY
Resignation of Minister Shows Situation at Desperate Stage.
By PAUL GHALI Cop a Uhtoage Dally News. Ine. VICHY, July 19.—Significant of the desperate pass to which France’s food supply problem finally has come was the sudden resignation yesterday by Jean Achard, supply minister, whose functions were assumed by Pierre Caziot, minister of agriculture. : Achard’s management of France's food supplies cannot be said to have given satisfaction. In Paris the press has been up in arms. A striking example of the supply ministry’s dire mishandling was provided last December when Paris lacked vegetables and meat for fully. four weeks because the government had fixed prices too low to make it profitable for farmers to ship in their products. And more recently—in a country which is permitted meat only four times a month—60 tons of meat from Marseilles arrived in Paris unfit for consumption. A renewed drive against economic saboteurs has been started. Minister of Justice Joseph Barthelemy, yesterday appointed judges for the Paris and Gannat special courts, set up to try profiteers, hoarders and black-market dealers. Meanwhile, the Paris press continues its clamor for drastic changes in the Vichy regime. There is a suspicion that partisans of the pro-Nazi Pierre ‘Laval, more than this former vice premier himself, is behind the campaign to bring Paris personalities into the Vichy rule.
