The Germans were attacking not only around Kharkov—despite heavy losses of men and equipment—but at various other points along the 1800-mile front, feeling out Russian between Kharkov and Moscow, and around miles northwest of
positions around Orel,

In fact, there are indications that Hitler's long-heralded 1942 offensive may be under way because if the Nazi counter-drive in the Izyum-

Further, though there were increasing signs that the situation on the Kharkov front was difficult, military quarters said there was no sign of Russian reverses which make it imperative for the allies to act at once, even if they were not fully prepared. But Russia was reported pressing the allies to start any sort of diversion, even if on a small scale,
which would relieve German pressure against her.

statement, implied that the time might be in sight when the allies could open a second front against

sitions they had occupied. 3 “In. the Izyum-Barvenkova sector our men fought defensive battles agaist tank and infantry forces of the enemy.” Russia in its midnight communique on the Kharkov situation did not speak of offensive action. The Germans now held the initiative. It seemed definite that the Nazis had massed enormous quantities of men and tanks in the SmolenskVyazma area from which they. could make a direct attack on Moscow from southwest. However, there were. signs that here the Germans might be anticipating a Russian drive on Smolensk by the forces of Gen. Grogori K. Zhukov. Axis inspired reports from Stockholm said German troops had attacked the Russian line at a point northeast of Orel, midway between Kharkov and Moscow.
40,000 Germans Killed
Moscow estimated that in 10 days the Germans had lost 40,000 killed and up to 120,000 wounded, in addition to hundreds of tanks and planes. The official news agency Tass reported that in the last few days Russian naval aviators of the northern fleet had sunk two German destroyers and an 8000 troop transport in enemy waters hear their own bases. It said that a third destroyer, hit directly by bombs four times, probably sank. (British quarters at London reported that the Russian Arctic fleet had sunk in the last few days three German destroyers and four transports totaling 30,000 tons and had

They attacked the airdromes at Rabaul, in New Britain island, and Lae, on the north coast of New Guinea, raining bombs on runways and buildings. They shot down

figure in the bond drive here in|t which the late Carole Lombard participated, wanted to know what had happened in Indiana to provoke such a remark. “You're a newspaperman,” Mr. Pulliam reprimanded Mr. Brown last evening “and you could have checked your facts better than that. “‘What'd you say such a thing for?’”. Mr. Pulliam said he asked the radio commentator. Mr. Pulliam said that Mr. Brown claimed that he had remarked in the program that the statement probably was an exaggeration, but that he had gained such an impression from those with whom he talked yesterday. He reportedly admitted, however, that he had no definite facts or figures on war bond sales or war production efforts in Indiana. Mr. Brown, according to listeners, made his remark in connection with protests against possible gasoline rationing that have been raised by various interests here. “He talked to three Indianapolis newspapermen here yesterday and they certainly didn’t give him such an impression about Indiana,” Mr. Pulliam said. After the broadcast calls and telegrams of protest began coming in to him and other Indiana war leaders. At WFBM, however, an official said this morning that the station had received no complaints. In his address last night at the Murat, Mr. Brown said that the betting in Indianapolis was nine to two that the war would be over by Christmas. “Christmas!” said Mr. Brown with an inflection of disguest. “Why, we've just begun.” Mr. Brown left for Warren, O,, immediately after his address last night and could not be reached there today for comment. WFBM officials said they had no script or

Frederick P. Clark, executive di-
rector of the New Hampshire Planning and Development commission, told the conference that state planning ‘must be focused on ‘ways in which facilities required by the war effort, such as airports and industrial plants, can be fitted into normal civilian needs.
State planning was also discussed
by William D. Price, director of the Tennessee state planning commission. He asserted that a national planning board is needed to coordinate the plans of the various states and that state planning boards are needed to correlate the plans of the communities.

The compilation showed 113 ships sunk off the United States east coast; 63 in the Caribbean and south Atlantic; 12 in the Gulf of Mexico, and 37 sinkings—all presumably in the north Atlantic—revealed by arrival of survivors at Canadian ports.

destroy them with improper cooking!
Nearly all foods are enriched with health-giving elements, yet
more than half of the draftees rejected have shown signs of nutri--Why? Because either the draftee's meals at home have been poorly balanced or the foods he has eaten have been drained of their nutritious goodness. Today mothers every-
where must realize the importance of keeping their families strong and healthy. They must select foods rich in nutritive elements . . . and then preserve them by proper cooking. Your gas company considers it a patriotic privilege to publish a few cooking suggestions to help you make our nation strong.
. Facts about cooking you should know: —— 3 1 Waterless cooking protects the vitamins and minerals in vegetables. Bring a a small amount of salted water to a boil first. Then add the vegetables
to the water and turn the flexible gas flame to a low simmer position and cook gently until tender. Serve immediately.
2 Cook potatoes and other root vegetables in their skins. But if you prefer a to pare them, pare as thinly as possible because vitamins and minerals are
most abundant near the skin. Don't add soda to green or yellow vegetables for “color.” Soda destroys the vitamin content. Air does the same thing so don't stir cooking vegetables.
‘Overcooking meats destroys the vitamin content. The only exception to 3. this rule is fresh pork which must be' thoroughly cooked. Cook meats Slowly at moderate temperatures. When you roast, have faith in the heat control on your gas oven. Don't peek. Peeking is unnecessary, wastes gas and is responsi le for many failures. : Broil foods whenever possible instead of frying them. Mary vituiii § in s meats are fat-soluble and frying destroys these nutritive elements. Broile ing also helps retain the delicious and. hola juices. 1 :
