PREDICTS NAZI END BY LATE SUMMER

(Continued From Page One) have been hit by these rifle bullets. It would be an exaggeration to say that the people of Europe have begun open rebellion. They have not, and they have been instructed to stay calm and quiet until they are given the signal. But all over the continent sabotage is on the increase and German garrison troops are becoming more and more nervous. Copyright, 1044, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Dally News, Inc.

YOUTHS WELL INSURED WASHINGTON. — Ninety-six per cent of all army personnel stationed within continental United States are covered by government insurance, the average amount for

each soldier being more than $9000.

named has been confidently awaited observers here and in is there that the Germest extensive which Moscow intends to break as a pr to back in defeat into his own country. The Whité Russian front also

as D. N. B. was quick to point out. The renewed campaign in Finland probably was intended in part to clear the flank of Russian operations in the Baltic states. It apparently is progressing so satisfactorily the larger campaign. can now be put into action. When it is in full swing, another drive in the region farther north, above and below Lake’ Peipus, is probable. If that is the Russian plan, the whole front from the Pripet marshes to the Gulf of Finland will blaze into action before the summer is much further advanced. That would tie up all the German divisions in that area and most probably necessitate their reinforcement if a Russian break-through is to be prevented.

It is not likely that the Germans

uss Push is Say: [0 Admit Slight Soviet Gains

‘lean find such reinforcements. They

cannot be tdken from western Europe, nor from the central and southern part of the Russian front.

What the Germans have in the.

Balkans are barely capable of holding that area. . Moreover, another Russian drive

-|is in prospect on a scale as big as,

or very probably bigger than anything that may develop in White Russia. That is on the front from below the Pripet marshes to the Carpathians, leading through Poland and Galicia to the reich itself,

Many military observers believe the main Russian thrust will come there, with the communications hub of Lwow the center of the biggest campaign of the summer on the eastern front.

MOSCOW, June 23 (U. P.).—Russian troops ‘drove two powerful spearheads around the northern and southern ends of Lake Onega today in a big encircling move to clear the Finns from the Lenin-grad-Murmansk railroad east of the lake. The upper segment of the new Russian twin - gffensive battered through the Finnish lines along a 30-mile front just east of Kumsa river and Lake Oster from Medvezhegorsk, at the northern tip of Lake Onega, to Velikaya Guba. The troops appeared to be swinging around Medvezhegorsk, where the Finns were putting up stiff resistance, for a drive southward toward Petrozavodsk.

northern France, adding that “after the launching of the Soviet summer offensive yesterday, it must be expected that the Americans and British will start the second stage of the invasion very soon.” ‘Fairly Formidable’

The others were the ridge lying south-southwest of the city and the large eminence known as La Mare a Canards south of the city. The defenses through which the Americans were driving were described as “fairly formidable,” but

tions on the original beaches. They were being manned by the “Fortress Cherbourg” troops, mostly men of [40 and over, and by elements of the {units which tried to break out of the Cherbourg trap at St. Jacques de Nehou. Save for the Cherbourg sector, the | Normandy situation remained largely static for the seventh straight day. Numerous clouds overhung the beaches and battle areas, and the weather was described as “appalling.” Headquarters reported considerable rail and road traffic northeast of Paris, apparently representing a German attempt to move reserves and supplies to the battlefront.

Reveal Naval Encounter

Early today British light naval forces jumped a small German convoy south .of Jersey. Two brisk exchanges of gunfire ensued. Ore German armed trawler was sunk {and one merchantman was left lablaze. The British suffered negli- | gible damage. | The doomed German defenses were resisting stubbornly, especially at the southern gates of the city on which the full impact of the final assault was concentrated, and hand to hand fighting “now in progress is the roughest yet in France,” Unit{ed Press War Correspondent Henry T. Gorrell reported from the outskirts of Cherbourg. The American assault forces, advancing at bayonet point and ferreting out trapped German squads with smoke bombs and grenades, battered forward about 1800 yards {during the night and early morning.

Approach Strong Points

Advanced elements of Lt. Gen. Omar N. Bradley's siege army at 10 a. m. were approaching Floteman-|ville-Jague, Mont du Roc and Les |Andres, strong points in the belt of | defenses lying two to three miles from the city proper. The Nazi command had massed every man capable of firing a rifle within the defense perimeter south and southwest of Cherbourg proper, Gorrell said, and the Nazi order was to stand to the. death. A captured | German order read: “Withdrawal from present positions is punishable by death. 1 empower all leaders of every grade to shoot on sight anyone who leaves post because of cowardice. The our is serious. Only will-power, diness for fighting and heroism the death can help.” The Germans were expending | their main efforts on the defense of ammunition dumps and suburan air strips. The resistance was
