DOZENS DIE IN 2D MOSCOW BOMBING

Serious Damage to Capital: Denied in Communique;

their degree of purity.

Fighting Reports Reveal Serious Threat to Leningrad-Murmansk Railway.

MOSCOW, July 23 (U. P.).—German planes, in their gecond attack in force on Moscow in 24 hours, rained high explosive and incendiary bombs on the capital area during the night and caused casualties which an official communique

said numbered “several dozens.”

Several buildings were set afire by incendiary bombs and high explosive bombs formed craters. were put out rapidly by professional and volunteer fire fight-

ers and apparently no substantial damage was done.

(In describing the German raid of the night before the

United Press correspondent had said that all fires were put out promptly.) Air raid alarm’ sirens sounded first at 7:30 p. m. (11:30 a. m. yesterday Indianapolis Time) but the all clear was sounded after 50

minutes. No German planes appeared during this alarm period. The second and real alarm came at 10 p. m. (3 p. m. Indianapolis Time). An incessant anti-aircraft barrage kept the raiding planes high and it was reported that many of them dropped their bombs in the woods outside the city.

Compared to London

Searchlight beams neatly caught the German planes, and bursting anti-aircraft shells studded the black sky. > The streets were deserted except for fire fighters, who braved the bombs to put out fires. Londoners arrived here recently said the competence and efficiency of the firemen and volunteers compared favorably with London. Private sources reported that a eonsiderable number of bombs failed to explode. It was estimated officially that 150 German planes took part, as against 200 the night before:

Hospital Set Afire

A communique said several homes, a hospital and the Polyclinic had been set afire, and that the hospital and the -clinic suffered severe damage. No military objectives were hit, it was asserted. The communique said that Rusgian fighter planes and anti-air-craft guns intercepted most of the German raiders and that only isolated planes got through the defense ring. At least 15 German planes were shot down, the communique said. Revised figures had said that 22 German planes had been shot down the night before. The raid lasted five hours compared to the five and one-half hours of the first raid. The day’s two communiques disclosed a new German-Finnish threat to the Arctic railroad which extends from Leningrad to Mur-

man drive on Kiev from the Zhitomir sector of the Ukrainian front.

yestreday and all last night in the Petrozavodsk, Porkhov, Smolensk and Zhitomir regions, the communique said, without any substantial changes in the relative positions of the Russian and German troops. Mention of heavy fighting in the Petrozavodsk direction disclosed a German-Finnish. thrust from the north shores of Lake Ladoga in an evident attempt to cut the arctic railroad. Petrozavodsk is a main line station on this line, on the western shore of Lake Onega, 190 miles northeast of Leningrad. (The Germans and Finns apparently were well into Russia after having crossed the frontier established after the Russo-Finnish war, Petrozavodsk is the capital of the new Karelian republic - which the Russians established after this war.) In the Porkov and Smolensk sectors, both on the Moscow, front, the Germans continued their steady and costly frontal drives. Mention of Zhitomir disclosed a new German drive direct on Kiev, capital of the Ukraine. Zhitomir ig 70 miles east southeast of Nevograd Volynsk, where the Germans had been driving for many days without making much progress, and 80 miles east of Kiev. The first communique said, Russian planes shot down 87 German planes yesterday. The loss of 14 Russian planes was admitted. °

NOVEL INSULATION METHOD IS TESTED

By Science Service ¢

BISMARCK, N. D—A novel method for putting heat-insulating air space into a concrete wall is being used in the erection of a new WPA warehouse here, Short lengths of split green cottonwood logs are set, like bricks, into the wet concrete. In a short time the green wood will. shrink and decay, leaving the spaces practically empty. The method is very economical, constructors say, and produces a wall stronger than hollow tile, and with better insulation propertfes. The idea originated in Scandinavian lands, and was brought to this

mansk and a new determined Ger-

country by immigrants.

Signs Will Lead To Lockerbie St.

A system of highway markers, showing the way to the little, two-block-long Lockerbie St. where the home of James Whitcomb Riley is enshrined for the public, is the latest project in connection with the famous poet. : Riley died 25 years ago ‘yesterday. Today, those who are interested in prepetuating his memory, find their chief headache in plainly marking the way to the little, hidden street. ~ So the WPA Marker Division has undertaken to plant key streets and highways with signs to aid tourists and others interested in visiting the home.

WELLES VISIONS LASTING PEACE

Declares First Post-War Step Should Be Abolition Of Armament.

WASHINGTON, July 23 (U. P.. —Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles last night asserted that the world must establish a mechanism to. maintain universal peace after the “Hitlerite government of r= many has been finally and utterly destroyed.” : He made the proposal for a second world effort to outlaw violence and aggression in an address at the laying of a cornerstone for a new, wing of the Norwegian Legation. Crown Princess Martha of Norway ‘and high-ranking British officials attended. t Mr. Welles said his proposal w: based upon two convictions: “First, that the abolition of offensive armaments and the limitation and reduction of défensive armaments and of the tools which .make the construction of such armaments possible, can’ only be undertaken through some rigid form of international supervision and control, and that without such practical and essential control, no rea} disarmament can ever be achieved; and “Second, that no peace which may be made in the future would be valid or lasting unless it established fully and adequately the rnatural rights of all peoples to equal economic enjoyment.”- § The League of Nations as Woodrow Wilson concejved it, Mr. Welles said, failed in part because of the “blind selfishness” of men in the United, States; because of its utilization by certain powers primarily to advance their own ambitions; and because it was operated by those who dominated it to maintain the status quo. Mr. Welles said that the United States cannot afford to remain outside as it did in the case of the League, in the “ill-founded belief” that she is safe in a “hemispheric security.”

BERLIN CLAIMS “UKRAINE GAINS

‘Ceaseless Pursuit’ and ‘Encirclement’ of Reds - Continues. -

BERLIN, July 23 (U. P.).—German, Rumanian, Hungarian and Slovak forces are “continuing ceaseless pursuit” of the Russians on the Ukrainian front and encirclement of “large and small” Russian forces continued on the rest of the Eastern front, the High Command said in a communique: today. The Russian armies are suffering unusually bloody losses in attempts to break out of encirclements, it was added. The communique was issued Hitler's headquarters. $a: German informants said strong German airplane forces attacked “military objectives” in a raid on Moscow during the night and that returning pilots reported extensive large fires. Report 52 Planes Downed Informants said that in addition to making their second raid in two nights on Moscow, German planes continued to attack railroads, railroad stations and bridges behind the Russian lines and disrupted railroad lines leading to Leningrad at several points. Fifty-two Russian planes were destroyed in.the 24 hours which ended at noon yesterday, it was asserted. An official news agency dispatch from Helsinki, noting intensified fighting on the Finnish front, said German and Finnish forces had achieved great successes at many places. " ‘Russian troops were being encircled and strategic points were being occupied in Russian Karelia, it was said, and the dispatch added that “it appears that the enemy everywhere is seeking to withdraw systematically and assume new positions.” .

said German troops on Sunday en-

of Leningrad and those who were not killed or wounded, surrendered. The agency said that onthe Ukrainian. front German, Hungarian and Rumanian troops captured a “vitally important railroad” which runs to the Black Sea and that the capture would make it impossible to supply the “remnants” of the Russian troops in the Western Ukraine. Previously, the dispatch said, the Hungarians had captured a Russian officer who had among his papers one which said the railroad must be held at all costs.

NORFOLK, Va., July 23 (U. P.) — _habing landed at Reykjavik, Iceland.

Four American nurses recounted today the “harrowing experience” cf 12 days adrift in a lifeboat in the North Atlantic after the Norwegian steamer on which they were passengers had been torpedoed by a German submarine, They were proud that the submarine commander, “who spoke perfect English,” had been unable to obtain any information from those in the lifeboat. He had asked about the number of vessels in their convoy and the destination of the distressed ship. , “After such a harrowing experience,” the nurses said in a joint statement after landing here from a naval transport, “we feel that we have many to thank and lots to be thankfu] for.” The nurses are: Marion Blissett, Detroit; Victoria M. Pele, Auburn, N. Y.; Rachel St, Pierre, Boston; and Lillian M. Pesnicak, Albany, N. Y. They previously had been reported safe by the Red Cross,

“While watching the debris floating by we saw a periscope come ihto view followed by the submarine itself.” When it surfaced, the conning tower opened and about eight officers sprang out and ran to the guns. “After circling us, the submarine came along side and an officer who sppke perfect English asked us the name of our ship, where from, name of the company, capacity and cargo. He asked the number we had in the convoy, but we did not tell him.” A conference of the submarine officers followed and they then suggested that they would like to take “the girls” aboard the submarine. The Norwegian officers refused.

‘No One Can Imagine Our Joy and Relief as Destroyer Saved Us,’ Say 4 U. S. Nurses, Adrift 12 Days in Lifeboat

Later, six men and the four nurses were taken into the Norwegian captain's life boat, leaving six other nurses in the other boat. The next morning, the nursesh said, the chief officer took two of’ the six nurses in his boat and started for the Irish coast.

“We started away from the ship with one hardtack each,” they said. Later this was cut to one half. At noon every day the captain opened a can of meat balls, dividing equally among 14 persons. We were given about five ounces of water over each period of 24 hours. “On the evening of the fifth of July: we thought we were nearing Greenland when at 9 p. m. our lookout reported seeing a ship. “Then in the distance we saw several boats. Later on, we saw several ships that proved to be United States naval vessels. “We signaled several times and we had used our last flare when the United States destroyer hove to and
