Nazis Claim Break-Through
The ‘German ' communique reported a break-through the heav-ily-mined Russian defenses before
were fighting in the outskirts of the city, while Nazi air squadrons attacked nearby communications lines, WR ) 2 The Russians did not officially acknowledge ‘any enemy forces closer than Novocherkassk, 32 miles to the. northeast on the raiiroad, but gave the impression that Timoshenko ‘might. not attempt to hold Rostov, a city of 500,000 population against a long siege. Rostov obviously will be strongly defended to make the enemy pay the biggest possible price, but it lies on #4he north bank of the Don and all indications were that the Russians would do most of their fighting south of the river.
Use American Planes
The first effects of the new Ruspian stand were reported by the Red Star, which said the enemy had been slowed down as a result of steady, large-scale attacks by the Russian air force. Big American-made Boeing and Douglas bombers are being used -to blast German tank concentrations
far behind the lines in communications centers. Opening their attack during the night, they bombed enemy columns and tank masses, regrouping for a decisive fight, and kept up the bombardment for hours. The period of Russian withdrawal appeared to be ended for the most part, especially on the lower Don east of Rostov, and fighting continued in the Voronezh sector, on
the German left flank some 300 miles to the north.
Fight On at Voronezh
The Russian army at: Voronezh reported that it had seized another important point from the enemy,
more tanks and at some points driven the enemy back into the Don river in bloody battles now raging on both banks. In the lower Don fighting, the d a wheeling from Novocherkassk
sition at the mouth of the Don, on three sides, Russian dispatches said. Novocherkassk, capital of the Don cossack country with 100,000 inhabitants, is situated on a piateau intersected by ravines and considerably more suitable for defense than the rolling steppe lands to the northeast around Tsimlyanskaya; whence the Germans were pushing toward Stalingrad on the Volga - at the entrance to Asiatic Russia.
Rostov Rail Line Cut
With the Rostov-Moscow railroad cut at several points on the line running northward through Voronezh.and the Rostov-Stalingrad line broken by the enemy advance to the Don at Novocherkassk and Tsimlyanskaya, Russian resistance could be expected only below Ros=tov, Moscow informants said. The sole remaining practicable means of communication from Rostov and the country of the North Caucasus south of it was over the Stalingrad-Caucasus railroad which runs between Stalingrad and Tikhoretsk, 90 miles south of Rostov, and there joins: the Rostov-Baku line. It was thus indicated that Timoshenko probably was withdrawing his main army to the area just south of the Don, leaving a sacrifice force to defend Rostov which the Germans took last fall and had

British Attacks
against the threat of a British break-through. An R. A. F. announcement dis-
closed that the United States army air forces, under command of Maj. Gen, Lewis B. Brereton, have aided in smashing Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s supply bases, lines of communications and airdromes.
Supply Bases Bombed
The combined = American and British air attack, was carried out while the British eighth army was attacking all along the front. “United States air corps heavy bombers and R. A. F. heavy and medium bombers, flying in bad weather, raided targets at Tobruk, El Gazala, Sollum, Fuka and Matruh,” the R. A. F. announcement said. A communique of the middle eastern command and the. Royal air force said the imperials advanced in heavy fighting throughout yesterday on all sectors of the front. (The British radio said that a “full-scale battle” was in progress but that the British advance thus far had been strictly limited and did not constitute a break-through or forward sweep.)

the south struck suddenly in the dark hours of yesterday morning. At dawn allied planes went out to support them. By mid-afternoon they had made gains all along the 30-mile front extending down toward the Qattara depression. The Australians in the north had won the entire Hill of Jesus ridge. In the center the South Africans, New Zealanders and Indians made progress at the western end of the Ruweisat ridge where the Germans had clung to a foothold. . German resistance stiffened each hour and in the afternoon German plands, which along with the Italian ones had been absent from the front since Tuesday, were thrown into the action. (British quarters in London said British and American air bombings of the axis bases destroyed more than 100 enemy planes last weekend and “played an important part in gaining the present air superiority over the Egyptian battlefield.”)

Merchant Pretends Sleep,
Shoots Burglar to Death
While George W. Masters, 73, was asleep on a cot in the rear of his hardware store, 1704 Roosevelt ave., last night, someone slashed his
face and arms with a knife.
The assailant warned him to lie still or “I'll kill you” and then
asked where the money was.
Calmly obeying the bandit’s commands, Mr. Masters explained the
method of opening the cash drawer in the front of the store and the safe in the rear near his bed. “When he went to the front of the store, I crept out of bed and got my revolver from a bureau drawer and climbed back in bed, *» Mr, Masters said. “He came back to see if I was still in bed, and warned me again about not moving. I lay still.”
Two Shots Miss
When the robber leaned over to open the safe, which was unlocked, Mr. Masters started shooting. The first two shots missed, one crashing into the ceiling of the room and the other into the wall. “He raised up and started after me with the knife and I fired two more shots,” Mr. Masters said. The bandit, who was then within a few feet of the bed with his knife, raised to strike, staggered and shouted: “You got me.” He fell to the floor with the knife clenched in
,| his hand.
Police Force Door
The last two bullets had struck him, one lodging just above his heart. Two neighbors, William L. Van_|Seyoc, of 1944 Hillside ave. and
"| Ralph Moneymaker, 1107 S, Fleming st., heard the shots and ran to the store. They -couldn’t get in, but talked to Mr. Masters through the window and called police.
When the officers arrived, .they,
broke in the front door because Mr. Masters said he couldn't find his
They found the store proprietor with blood streaming from knife wounds on his face and left arm. “If I hadn't got him, he would have got me,” Mr. Masters told police. The robber’s body was taken to the city morgue, where it was identified later as that of William Brooks, 32, Negro, of 1828 Sheldon st. Mr. Masters said -he was the same man he had hired several weeks ago to do some .work around the store. Brooks had entered the store through a window over Mr. Masters’ bed.
RAF BOMBS GHENT: NAZIS OVER ENGLAND
LONDON, July 23 (U. PJ).— German planes ranged over a wide area -of England at dawn today to stage hit-run attacks against an east midlands region and an eastern England district. The raids came after the R.A. F., using Douglas bombers, attacked a chemical works and power station at Nazi-occupied Ghent, Belgium. } Hotels and. boarding houses at an east coast town were damaged badly when a German Dornier flying boat swept in from .the “sea at low altitude to drop its bombs. No casualties were reported. The Ghent raid followed a daylight sweep for the third consecu-
tive day over the German supply
lines and installations in occupied territory.

6. 0.P. 1 HOLD PEACE SESSION
Bradford Forces fo Seek Tyndall Unity Pledge At Session Tonight.
(Continued from Page One)
the ward and township chairmen, ° most of whom are personally loyal to Mr. Bradford, have been a little hesitant to agree to the plan. They want the personal word of Gen. Tyndall that he, as just one of the party’s candidates, will work to the fullest extent with the regular party organization. which will be under the direction of his former opponent, Mr. Ostrom. Question Tyndall on Plans
. They want to know that neither the general nor his campaign manager, Charles Jewett, will .seek to get control of the party organization as a result of the Bradford Ostrom switch, And that’s primarily what tos night's meeting is for. . Gen. Tyndall is scheduled to tell the ward and township chairmen that he will go along with the organization all the way—that he is running for mayor only and that he will co-operate with Mr. Ostrom on organization matters. Scheduled to be present at the pow-wow to do all he can to see that things work out harmoniously is State G. O. P. Chairman Ralph Gates. State Success at Stake
State -leaders of the party are vitally interested in getting the Bradford-Tyndall factions together because they realize that continuance of the split would practically insure a Democratic victory here and might well endanger G. O. P. chances of carrying the state ticket. If tonight’s meeting is successful; party leaders plan to move swiftly to effect the change in the county leadership. According’ to presi plans, no county convention will be called. Mr. Bradford will submit his resig=nation tn the county committee and petitions for the election of Mr. Ostrom as a successor will be cire culated among precinct committee men and vice committeemen. When a majority signs, Mr, Ostrom will be elected.
MORE JAPS LANDED NORTH OF AUSTRALIA
(Continued from Page One)
Japanese were directly across New Guinea from the allied advanced base of Port Moresby. The only road across that part of the island runs from Port Moresby to Buna, 120 miles over the Owen Stanley mountains which rise to 7000 feet. Thus the Japanese might seek to move across the mountains on Port miles . northeast of Cape York at the northeastern tip of Australia, and establish themselves within easy striking distance of ‘the continent. Defensively the Japanese had: strengthened themselves = because
‘planes based there could aid in de-
fending their bases on the north New Guinea coast, and in the Bismarck and Solomon Islands. Reconnaissajice planes sighted the Japanese convoy at dusk Tuesday. At dawn yesterday ‘the allied air force attacke@.
