SS REPULSE ‘NAZI THRUSTS Gorki Arms Center Raided Twice by Germans

In Week-End.

MOSCOW, June 8 (U. P.).—The Red army beat off a series of sharp enemy patrol thrusts along an 800mile segment of the Russian front today as German and Soviet air fleets traded blows in a i for.aerial supremacy. Russian: long-range bombers concentrated their might on the railroad junction of Unecha, 75 miles west southwest of Bryansk, Sunday night, touching off many heavy explosions and fires among munitions dumps, arms:stores and concentrations of trains. Only one planes was lost. German planes’ countered with two attempts at large-scale raids on’ Gorki, 150 miles east of Moscow, Safirday and Sunday nights. Antit ‘guns and night fighters back many of the bombers before they reached their objectives, but others broke through and caused some damage and casualties. In ‘the ‘one raid Saturday night, 12 out of the 100° raiders - were de- « stroyed without the loss of a single Russian plane.

,.. Claim “Hardest Blows”

(The German ‘radio said that altogether 1000 "German planes raided Gorki, an arms center, on three sucessive nights, starting Friday. The attacks were described as the “hardest blows struck Soviet war industry.” In the Sunday night raid. : alone, the broadcast - said; nearly 500 tons of explosives and more than 100,000 incendiary bombs were dropped. Only two planes were lost in all ‘three Falls, it was said.) Russian planes . intervened suc- ~ cessfully in the battle of the northwest Caucasus, sinking three patrol boats and five speedboats loaded with soldiers and munitions for the German bridgehead along the shore of the Black Sea above Novoressisk. The, series of. ‘German ground thrusts were helieved designed to test Russian strength and perhaps disturb any Soviet preparations for an offensive along the front between Lake Ilmen and the Black Sea.

minute” but he continued to run

and he pursued him. Gunneman said that as the man ran into E. 11th st. he shouted “Halt,” and then fired a shot into the air, but the. man only increased his speed into a yard between two houses.

Thought He Aimed Low

As he did, Gunneman fired again. He. said he thought he aimed low, but the bullet struck. the man in the ‘head and he dropped in the yard, fatally wounded. Wilson was identified by Hazel Laffin, 24, of 1144 N. Alabama st. Miss Laffin said that about 9:30 o'clock she and a friend Frances Whitt, 2827 Kenwood. ave. were sitting in a booth in Muggsie’s tavern nearby on Ft. Wayne ave. when Wilson came in with three civilian companions. whom she did not know. : Went to Get Sister

She said Wilson offered to buy her and her friend: a drink and when they refused he walked over to the bar and joined his three friends. . Miss Laffin said that abot 11:20 o'clock she reminded Miss Whitt that it was time for them to go meet her (Miss Laffin’s) sister at the home of John Cass, 1012 Central ave. They left and Wilson and his three companions followed in a car, she told police. Miss Laffin said that as they reached Cass’ home, Cass was standing on the sidewalk ready to leave for work. Seconds later, she said, she saw Wilson and his friends jump out of the car, run to the west side of the street and start a fight. She didn’t mention the number of men involved, but said two of them were soldiers. She said she knew no reason for the fight. She said she saw one man break away from the fight and run north to 11th st. and then east. She later identified the man who fled as Wilson, ; ; At the same time, according to the story of all witnesses, Gunneman started his pursuit and the other participants in the fight fled and none was captured. ‘The Rev. Mr. Carrick told police that about 11:30 o'clock he turned out the lights .and,6 was ready to retire when he looked out of the window and heard an argument in front of his home. He said he saw three pairs of men fighting and a woman standing nearby watching.

run to an auto, obtain a gun and run back to the fight and knock one of the men down with the butt end of it. He said that another man then jumped on to the felled participant. Hears Two Shots

The Rev. Mr. Carrick said that the armed man then. raised the rifle and as he did a man in a police uniform jumped out of a car and

that the armed man pointed the rifie at the officer, then dropped it and ran. The Rev. Mr. Carrick said that in a few minutes he heard two shots. C. J. Gooding, 615 E. 15th st, a passenger, said he saw trouble from a trackless trolley, got off and saw a man with a rifle. While Detectives John Bevan, John Willis and Harry Hammond sought the men involved and a reason for the fight, Cass said that there had been considerable trouble in the neighborhood recently. Wilson had a police record on minor charges. He was arrested here twice for vagrancy and another time for failure to have a driver’s license. He previously had been amrenied in Pine Bluff, Ark., Pine Bluff, Mo., Baton Rouge, La. and Daytona Beach, police said. Two of the arrests were on charges of “short changing,” according to records.

are “being worked on right now,” according to an announcement by Maj. Jubal R. Parten, transportation director in the petroleum administration. Maj. Parten testified before a 12man special house committee organized to prevent discrimination against the seaboard states. A telegram from the American Automobile association was received here yesterday about the Washington hearing by Todd Stoops of the Hoosier Motor club, who has been fighting gasoline rationing in the Midwest.

Says Attitude Selfish

“According to the telegram, plans are being made to cut civilian gas supply as far as the Mississippi to make more gas available for the East,” Mr. Stoops said today. “The committee working on it says they are set up to ‘secure relief and equality of treatment.’” But, says Mr. Stoops, what, is at the bottom of the whole thing is a “dog-in-the-manger” ' attitude—the East can’t. get gas, so they don’t want us to have it either. “If stricter gas rationing in the Midwest would give the Eastern states more gas, that would be alright with us,” he continued, “but reducing our gas supply and banning our pleasure driving won't give the East any bigger supplies, due to the transportation difficulties.” Mr. Stoops said he was leaving for Chicago today to confer on the threatened gas curb.

Auto Parts Scarce

Discussing the restrictions, Mr. Aitchison pointed out that it isn’t just a question of an adequate gas and rubber supply, but a question of conserving vehicles. “We can’t get auto parts,” he said. “We can’t replace wornout pieces of machinery. The garages are too busy to handle all the transportation demands now, and the best mechanics are in service, anyway. “Motorists should curtail their own unnecessary driving here themselves, because of these trans-

because of the gasoline and rubber. They should obey the speed laws. They aren't going to like it if the restrictions come here, but if they don’t want them, they'd better do

Employment Service Sought

Judge Rhoads yesterday advocated the establishment of a children’s employment service to provide work for adolescents who are habitual truants from school and who take to crime in leisure hours. He said the law requiring children to remain in school until 16 might have to be amended because of persistent truancy and to permit them to work. . The judge said he would offer the

cies to aid the mayor in planning a more extensive park and play-

Meanwhile, Police. Chief Beeker announced that five additional Pals’ clubs are being organized and that personnel of the police department's juvenile aid division would be increased.
