Moscow dispatches said that in the 'big mechanized Kharkov battle three of four important Nazi rail lines had been cut, 71 more tanks were destroyed and 1650 Germans killed during the night. Whether Nazi Field Marshal Fedor von Bock had been able to get a counter-offensive moving in strong force still was uncertain, but in any event. he had thrown big reihforcements into an attack on a 25-mile front between Barvenkovo land 'Izyum, 70 miles southeast of Kharkov, in an effort to offset the Soviet drive. "'If he succeeds, the German massed forces in the Ukraine might be able to seize the initiative agin. Rush Reinforcements If Von Bock fails to seize the initiative, the Russian onslaught by Cossacks, artillery, tanks, airplanes and infantry under Marshal Semyon Timochenko is designed to smash into the heart of the axis defense zone and destroy Hitler's preparations for a summer offensive. The Russians said that the Germans were losing almost 100 tanks destroyed or damaged each day in the campaign that is now in its ninth day. Both sides have hurried reinforce-
Imehts into the battle and the Nazis
desperately were trying to regain ¢ontiol of the air from a strong fleet of Soviet airplanes. So far they have failed and Russian planes have taken a heavy toll of enemy aircraft and tanks.

Albert Buennagel, Leland Crawford and Robert PF. Scott. Friends have been requested not to send flowers. Born in Indianapolis Nov. 28, 1864, the son of William Watson and Mary Allen Evans Woollen, Mr. Woollen was a graduate of Yale university. He took his bachelor’s degree in 1886 and the master’s in 1889. He received the doctorate of law degrees from Wabash college in 1928 and from Indiana and Butler universities in 1929. After being graduated from Yale, Mr. Woollen for a year served as secretary of the Wabash Natural Gas Co. at Wabash, Ind; He then became a reporter on the former Indianapolis Sentinel, later studying law in his father’s office.
Founded Bank in 1912
After admission to the bar he founded a law practice in 1888 and became assistant to .John T. Dye, general counsel for the Big Four railroad. He founded and became president’ of the Fletcher Trust Co. in 1912 and served in that capacity until 1934, when he became chairman of the board. Following Mr. Woollen’s defeat in a race to become senator, Thomas Taggart, Indiana Democratic chieftain, urged him in 1928 to seek the Democratic presidential nomination. Mr. Woollen accepted the invita-
Houston,. Tex." Alfred E. Smith, then governor of New York, virtually had secured the nomination.
Headed Art Association
Mr. Woollen chose, however, to stay in the race and received Indiana’s 30 votes as Mr. Smith was nominated on the first ballot. The Indianapolis candidate had not ‘made an activé campaign and after the convention returned to business and civic life, making, however, ‘occasional speeches for Frank C. Dailey, Democratic candidate for governor in Indiana. Prior to his founding the Fletcher Trust organization, Mr. Woollen was vice president and legal counsel of the Fletcher-American National bank. He helped organize the Indianapolis Foundation, charitable trust founded here in 1916, and had served as president of the Art Association of indishapols. more than 40 years. ;
“State Fuel Administrator
From November, 1917, until the close of the first World War, Mr. Woollen was fuel administrator for Indiana and from May, 1918, to November, the same year, he was director in Washington of the bureau of state organizations in the federal fuel administration. Later President Wilson asked him to serve on the federal reserve board, but he declined. The Indianapolis banker was a member of the economic policy commission of the American Bankers’ association and vice president of the trust company division of that body, serving in 1922 as the chairman of the executive committee of the division. In 1921-22 he also was chairman for Indiana of the war finance corporation. In addition to these activities, Mr Woollen had been president of the Board of Children’s Guardians, president of the Charity Organiza-

When he spoke; on that 1940 afternoon, the army had 558,812 officers and men, the total army and navy air force consisted of 5047 planes of which not more than 500 were combat planes fit for battle, and the navy had 389 ships, many of them old, organized to fight in one ocean at a time. There was not enough equipment and ammunition to supply even those forces in action, and there was no existing capacity to produce - more -as it might be needed. The army and navy had about enough bombs to supply the British RAF for 10 days of this week's rate of bombing German bases. The artillery had about enough shells of all sizes to have lasted through four days of a battle like the Argonne in 1918—though subsequent tests revealed that upward of a third of these—first World War stocks — would no longer explode.
Blast Cut Powder
American capacity for making explosives was so small that a single explosion. at Bayonne, N. J., late in the summer of 1940 wiped out a third of the nation’s entire production facilities, There were 446 tanks, none strictly modern and not more than 50 fit for any kind of service. It was planned, in the late summer of 1940, that by September,

1942, the army could be organized into 45 infantry divisions and 10 mechanized divisions, besides auxiliary and supply forces, all equipped for immediate active service. By February, 1942, the army had been organized into 27 infantry and seven mechanized divisions, and organization of 13 more divisions was far advanced in the late spring of this year. All these divisions were being equipped with modern weapons as rapidly as they could be organized. No Military Secret All of this has been officially announced, and reveals no military secret. It does reveal, however, that in spite of all the many “expansions” in the program, and in spite of all the astronomical figures that have become part of the national vocabulary, the size and striking power of the army and the navy are today almost exactly what it was apparent two years ago they could be at this time—and that no real ‘expansion” in the program of producing an army and navy actually has taken place, except in plans for the future. For this there are excellent reasons. There was no lack: of manpower — the United States could, at peak, produce an army of 12 million men—but manpower had to wait on equipment. And equipment had to be made, in plants that were not then in existence.

State Is Like a Lady
But getting back to Kentucky. A young lady in Paducah has just been named poet laureate of Kentucky. And, take jt from one of America’s literary “greats,” her poem is a literary great:
Kentucky is a woman Standing straight and tall and slim With the Blue Grass for ‘a carpet And the mountains for a whim,
Kentucky is a woman Smiling, sighing, daring, fair; With the rivers there to wade in And the sun to dry her hair.
Kentucky is a woman In a pale blue velvet gown; The stars are all her jewels And the silver moon her crown.

Chief of Government Pierre Laval, after hurrying here from Paris last’ night, éonferred with Marshal Henri Philippe Petain on the Algerian clash, and presumably
