GOAL IS NEAR. RUSSIANS SAY

Nazis Claim Offensive Regained; Giant Tank Battle Raging.

(Continued from Page One)

army, smashing strong points of Kharkov’s inner defense ring, was moving forward in an “unbroken march.” Although the Russian dispatches said that Timoshenko’s forces were advancing, it still was uncertain whether he was attempting to seize Kharkov in a frontal assault or envelop the city and cut the vital highways branching out from it in six directions. Whether or not the Russians take Kharkov, their victory will be a big one if Timoshenko is able to keep the initiative, because the Nazi losses have been great and the left flank of Adolf Hitler's southern armies, whose ultimate objective is the rich Ukraine, has been battered. Might Trap Nazis

If the highways around Kharkov are cut the German forces in the area may find themselves in the same position as the German 16th army trapped at Staraya Russia—a Nazi stronghold between Moscow and Leningrad—ssince early December. Today's Red army communique and other front line Russian accounts indicated that the Red army drive, in contrast with what it called “weakening German resistance” and counter-attacks, was growing in intensity, overcoming strongholds one by one and forcing the Germans back under Soviet tank charges followed up by infantry. In one Kharkov sector, it was reported, . a German counter-attack was crushed and the Russian troops broke into a German-held town.

Halt ‘Counter-Offensive

On the 25-mile Barenkovo-Izyum sector, 70 miles south of Kharkov, a German counter-offensive—~which the Nazi high command never has mentioned in any of its communiques thus far — was said to have been halted. Germany's communiques until today have spoken of Marshal Fedor Von Bock’s Nazi forces around Kharkov fighting “defensive battles,” and emphasized that the German counter-assaults in the region cannot be regarded as offensives. Reports reaching Stockholm from Berlin said that German leaders had stopped talking of a “spring offensive” and were now speaking of a summer offensive “to be launched in an unexpected direction”—the usual propoganda line the Nazis use to bewilder the enemy.

German Lines Crack

Meanwhile, Red Star, the special Soviet army newspaper, reported in a front dispateh that there was evidence that the Germans were beginning to crack after suffering frightful casualties under the bombs and shells of Russian planes and field guns, the machine guns and bayonets of the Russian infantry, and the guns of the great masses of Russian tanks which Marshal Timoshenko had thrown into the battle. The Russian tanks and infantrymen are driving mile by mile through terrain, woods and open fields, bristling with German defense points, the Red army, dispatches said, and, fighting now in the enemy’s inner defense ring, “are taking increasingly big numbers of prisoners and quantities of war spoils.” Through woods and over fields, close behind their artillery fire, the Red army men were said to be over-running German pill boxes and earthworks, leaving the mopup men, including flame throwers, to reduce isolated knots of resistance.

writing of pre-dated letters other documents. He pointed out that the government had only found one victim to bring forward in more than three years of investigation. His contenton was that McDermott’s reputation had been good up until the time of his indictment. “You cannot make be believe,” he said, “that a leopard can change his spots overnight.”

Called ‘Little King’

Why, he asked the jury, would McDermott scheme to make commissions unfairly when all he got was 16 cents on every dollar taken in by the firm? Paul Pfister, assistant district attorney, made the closing argument for the government. Taking less than half an hour to sum up the case he charged the defendant was “gq little king in the financial world in his own mind.” James Allio, the government brought out in undisputed testimony, was a client of McDermott’s and lost more than $5000. Mr. Allio wrote and pre-dated several letters upon the request of MecDermott. It was in the Allio account that funds amounting to about $50,000 were lost, for Mrs. Marie Langen Sweeney, the “victim” referred to by Mr. Elliott in his closing argument. The defendant, on the stand in his own behalf, admitted the predated letters and other documents

that he had ordered falsified by his

former secretary, Miss Marie Louise McConnell. He contended, however, that they had nothing to do with the government’s charges and were merely written to satisfy his Chicago partners who had been criticizing hiss administration of the “Allio account.” On the stand, McDermott referred to the Allio account as “virtually Mrs. Sweeney’s.” B. Howard Caughran, district attorney, closed the trial with a resume of the evidence, During the first two days that the Sweeney account was opened, Mr. Caughran said, “commissions wrung from this poor woman who didn’t know a stock from a bond, were $996, a figure representing 9 per cent of the entire amount she had on deposit in the account.” The district attorney said that during eight months McDermott charged Mrs. Sweeney a fee of $11,406.52 to lose nearly $50,000.

BURNS: CITY WORKERS INVEST IN WAR BONDS

Naval ammunition depot employees at Burns City today were reported buying a total of more than $100,000 in war bonds monthly and have received treasury department \certicates indicating 90 per cent or more employees are making regular payday deductions for bond purchases. These are the first certificates issued by the treasury department to any plant of this type in the state. Depot and construction company officials are now pointing to-

Conceived Before War

“It will be one. of the important units in the new precision instrument industry which is being founded in this country to produce, Mr. Barth, who directed commissioning ceremonies, ‘pointed out

baby”: and ‘that it was conceived in. greater quantities: and of superior, workmanship, . the = various high precision and scientific instruments that in the past have been obtained only from foreign sources.” Mr. Barth said. “New instruments now in the test tube stage will emerge from this plant even when peace will be with us once again,” he added. long before the present war broke out in Europe.

Finest Plant of Its Type

“Right now, however,’ said the Lukas-Harold Co. president, “we want a steady stream of instruments flowing from this plant . . . so that many, many Colin Kellys and Jimmy: Doolittles, as well as many, many U. S. navy bombardiers in the Coral sea and elsewhere will continue to make direct hits on many, many more Japanese and other axis targets. The plant has 1412 acres under one roof and is the finest and only one of its type in the world. It is windowless and has complete air conditioning’ and a new type of flooring. If has an artificial fluorescent lighting set flush in an acoustically, treated ceiling so that the metals which are processed in the plant will not vary in temperature, so that the floors will be without vibration and so that human vision will be aided to the ultimate degree in a quiet atmosphere.

Ground Broken Year Ago

None of the structural steel is visible within the plant, which was constructed by the Austin Co, Cleveland, O. Ground for the plant was broken just one year ago yesterday. Other short talks were made at the commissioning ceremonies by Governor Schricker, G. P. Bierbach, executive vice president of the Lukas-Harold Corp., who will have charge of the plant, and Comm. G. P. Kraker, navy officer in charge of the plant. . Also present at the ceremony was Carl L. Norden, inventor of the famous bombsight that bears his name. He formed Carl L.

Kuhn, president of the chamber, welcomed the officials of Lukas-Harold and the employees to the city. “Not the least in impqriance to Indianapolis in the opening of this plant,” he said, “is the large number of highly skilled men: who. are coming to us as permanent citizens, and the opportunity it is affording today to Indianapolis men to develop newly found and hitherto undreamed of capabilities in the use of their hands and sight.”
