Soviet Counter-Blows Block German Thrust At Sevastopol
HOLD ALSOIN VITAL | KHARKOV DISTRICT
Moscow Says Germans Are Exhausted in Ukraine; Clash Hand to Hand in Most Violent Battle of War in Crimea.
MOSCOW, June 27 (U. P.).—Front line dispatches today said that a daring counter-attack and hand-to-hand fighting by Soviet marines had blocked a German thrust) into the Sevastopol defenses and that one of the most violent | 3% battles of the war had stemmed “exhausted” axis troops on a vital sector of the Kharkov front. Heavy fighting was still in progress on
pol and Kharkov fronts— where enemy gaing had been admitted in recent days—but Russian dispatches today emphasized the intensity of the battles and the stubbornness of Red army resistance. | The “massive” axis attacks east! of captured Rupyansk railroad! junction were “partly successful” as
the Germans brought up fresh men and material in an effort to fan out in the Ukraine.
Nasi Air Attacks Increase
“In one of the most violent battiles of the war, the Red army is defying numerically superior enemy forces, defending every inch of land and repulsing sychronized infantry and tank attacks” said a dispatch
to the government newspaper Izvestia. “Our forces are exhausting the Germans by means of powerful counter-attacks.”

“For almost the first time in the] war, there has been much close! contact with the enemy.” the dis-] patch said. “Trench and dugout fighting lasts for hours. “A daring counter-attack on the main northeastern sector thwarted enemy afforte to deepen a wedge! driven inte our front. On the south, two German divisions failed to: break through and later attempted to storm our flanks. The battle is still raging. with a third enemy division brought up. Only small groups of machine gunners have managed to penetrate the defenses at some points.” An ambitious German thrust on the Bryansk sector, southwest of Moscow, was reported in the first communique today, which said Seviet forces had repulsed three battalions of enemy infantry (3000 men) and killed 300. Northwest of Moscow, on the Kalinin front, Soviet guardsmen killed up to 400 Germans and destroved five tanks, besides other] war material.

CHURCHILL SEES YANKS PRACTICE
Waits for Day When They Will Fight With British
As ‘Liberators.’
FT. JACKSON, 8. OC, June 24 (U. P.) (Delayed). —Prime Minister Winston Churchill sat under a barrage of live artillery shells today to go through battle maneuvers with American forces that may be fighting soon alongside British troops ‘not as invaders, but as liberators.” War as our soldiers fight it was enacted with super-realism for the British leader here at the world’s largest infantry post. Interrupting for a day his Washington conferences with President Roosevelt, he spent the day watching troops from the eighth motorized division, and the 30th and 70th infantry divisions wage simulated warfare that lacked little in reality but the dead and wounded. (Publication of this account of his visit to South Carolina on Wednesday was withheld until Mr. Churchill's safe return to Great Britain.)
Impressed, He Says
He saw transport planes swoop low and spill more than 500 ready-to-fight parachute troops almost in
his ample lap. - He crouched in a dusty dugout and saw a peaceful little valley pulverized by heavy artillery and by tanks whose ugly-muzgled 75-mm. guns whammed out live shells, He saw harmless-looking scrub trees within a stone’s throw suddenly come alive with machine guns that set big fires with their red-gleaming tracer bullets. And when it was over, Mr. Churchill said he was “enormously impressed by the thoroughness and precision with which the formation of a great wartime army of the United States is proceeding.”
‘Well Worth Waiting For’
“The day will come when British and American armies will march into countries not as invaders, but as liberators, aiding these people who have been held down under eruel, barbarian yokes’ he said. “That day may seem long to those whose period of training spreads across weeks and months, but when the day comes it is well worth working for and striving for. “When it comes it will make amends for all the toil and discipline that has to be undergone. Also, it will open the world to larger freedom and to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as the grand words of your declaration of independence put it.”
War Leaders in Party The prime minister was accom-
tion by Secretary of Wear Henry L. Stimson, Gen. George C. Marshall, the army chief of staff, and Lieut. Gen. Leslie J. McNair, commander of the U. 8. army ground forces. Also in the Churchill party were Field Marshall Sir John Dill; Gen.
Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the British imperial general staff; Maj. Gen. Sir Hastings Ismay, chief of staff, ministry of defense, and the prime minister's personal party of secretaries, aides and his doctor. As Mr. Churchill watched three big transport planes thundered over the field. At a height of 700 to 300] feet, out plummeted parachute

NAZI GUNS HURL TWO-TON SHELL
Massive Explosives Are, Believed Used Against Sevastopol.
(Continued from Page One)
A plane that has dropped its one massive bomb has to spend several hours going back after another one, and by that time the problem is all new again. But if the first shot from a gun is a miss, the aim can be shifted a little and another shot fired from the same piece in a few minutes. Even so massive a piece as the new 24-inch gun should be able to fire once every 15 or 20 minutes at the slowest, provided the officers in command are willing to wear the lining out at that rate. Another advantage of the heavy gun over the airplane is its superior penetration and smashing power. A shell lands with some of the tremendous push of the powder charge still behind it; a bomb only drops. That means that the shell can plow through a much greater thickness of earth or concrete before exploding. A bomb, exploding at or near ground surface, makes an impressive crater but is very likely (no leave the defenders a short aistance away only shaken up. A shell carries a bursting charge only a fraction as great as that of a bomb of the same weight, but it is more likely to produce its explosion where it will cause greater damage. Ih bringing a super-gun into action, the Germans are upholding their tradition as bold experimenters in ordnance. The world stood aghast at the execution wrought by the “Big Berthas” on Belgian frontier forts in 1914. These pieces were short,
massive mortars of 420-millimeter (16.535=inch) caliber.

Other members of the raiding party still are in combat zones, with the exception of three officers who were injured and are now convalescing at Walter Reed general hospital here. They will receive their decorations later. The war department did not dis-| close from whence the craft took | off—the secret base which Mr. Roosevelt referred to as Shangri-| La. | The department said all of the raiding planes were B-26 medium bombers.
Planes Fly Low
A low-altitude approach was de-| cided upon, it said, “because it lessened the chance of the planes being spotted too early by the enemy, assured a ready recognition of targets and made enemy interception difficult since fighting planes could attack only from above and then at the risk of erashing into trees or buildings or onto the ground.” “The planes came in only 15 or 20 feet above sea level, sweeping over the paddy fields and pagodas at this level,” the war department account added. “The crews were astonished at first when people waved hats and handkerchiefs and cheered them as they passed.” The statement was not elaborated on but apparently the Japanese people thought the craft were their own planes. One of the pilots decorated today, Lieut, William M. Bower, said he had never flown so low without landing. The raid, another flyer said, was made in “disgustingly clear weather,” without any pursuit opposition. He said it came as a com« plete surprise to the enemy,
Hugged the Ground
Maj. Charles R. Greening, armament officer of the squadron and| designer of the 20-cent bombsight, | piloted the plane which underwent: probably the heaviest attack. | “Four new-type Jap ships flew at ug While we were still some distance | from Tokyo,” he said. “We hugged the ground ag tight. ly as we could and even flew under some power lines in the hope that some of the ships might crash into them. “They didn’t. But we shot down two and the others gave us little trouble.” Greening added that when he bombed his objective, which was a gasoline refinery, “there were great sheets of flame and a terrific explosion that threw the copilot and me right up out of our seats, even though we were belted, and banged our heads against the top of the cockpit.” Greening said he could see smoke and flames rising from his target when he was nearly 50 miles off. “While over the city, my mind was intent on the job, of course, but I remember that I also kept thinking, ‘Oh, if my wife could see me now, ” he added.
Jap Fire Inaccurate
The American fliers noted the inaccuracy of the Jap anti-aircraft fire. They said puffs of black | smoke—designating bursting antiaircraft shells—were on every side, but that no real damage was done to any of the bombers. All planes approached their tar-!
