MAJOR BATTLE RAGES IN RUSSIA

Nazis Slowly Pushed Back In Fierce Struggle on

Central Front.

LONDON, March 20 (U. P).— The Russians were slowly pushing the Germans back today in one of the fiercest battles of the war, which is raging in a blizzard arounsi the Rzhev-Vyazma pocket on the central front. Advices reaching London said that though the Russians continued to advance, the Germans still held

their main centers of ' resistance,|

Rzhev, Vyazma nd Gzatsk. These reports also said the Russians have captured an important enemy stronghold near Staraya Russa. * Kharkov is virtually surrounded, it was said.

Shell German Garrison

Gzatsk two days ago was reported surrounded, and now the Russians were said to be shelling the corralled German garrison with heavy artillery. Rzhev and Vyazma were partly encircled, with the Soviet forces trying to close the trap on them and eliminate two more springboards for Hitler's promised spring offensive. An Exchange Telegraph agency dispatch from Moscow told of blizzards along the entire front. . A Stockholm dispatch said the Russians were using what the Germans described as “super heavy tanks.”

Demand Aid by Italy

.Exchange Telegraph reported that the Germans, were sending troops and material which had accumulated in Greece to the eastern front through Rumania and that they had weaksea defenses

could be used in the east. Diplomatic reports from Italy said that Hitler had demanded 150,000 fresh Italian troops, and that Benito Mussolini had called a number of reservists to the colors, but was having difficulty equipping Mhem.

Butler's Ballot Boxes 'Stuffed’

ELECTION irregularities in a men’s popularity contest at Butler universtiy were discovered today by the editors of Bull Dog, the humor magazine, which sponsors the vote. The ballot box had been stuffed, and the humor magazine didn’t | think such action was funny. It was discovered that some ballofs had been signed with the names of individuals no longer in school. The election will not ‘be held again. The purpose of the vote was to select 20 students who would. have the collective title, “big men of the campus.” Two men were certain of that honor on the basis of obviously honest votes. They -were Herb Schwomeyer, president of the Student council, and Wilbur Schu-

macher, co-captain of the 1941-42

NORFOLK, KNOX SAYS

NORFOLK, Va., March 20 (U. P.). —Secretary of .the Navy Frank Knox today urged better protection for the Norfolk-Portsmouth harbor and warned “that there is a fifth

column element here which cannot be ignored.”

was the second worst protected of any in the nation. (He didn't say what the worst was.) He declared a fireboat and police hoat were badly needed and urged the city ta ac cept the responsibility for increased protection. “Should a bombing raid occur here serious, damage would be in. flicted,” he said. “As far as I can see there is absolutely no protection now. The situation here is gra especially in view of the tha there is a fifth column element here which cannot be ignored.” He revealed that the coast guard would be increased from- 55,000 to 60,000 as quickly as possible.
