Axis Spends Life Recklessly To Gain Major Objectives In War With Russia
Britain Axis Spends Life Recklessly To Gain Major Objectives In War With Russia, Britain By Kirke L. Simpson Though Hitler's summer offensive in the east apparently has not yet been loosed, preliminary axis thrusts and the Ukraine already have produced a twin crisis for his British and Russian opponents. Both jaws of a vast axis pincer movement eastward have gnawed their way forward dangerously, at an uncounted cost of life and battle wreckage. In Egypt, battered British imperials with the bitter taste of defeat in their mouths have mustered for a last-ditch stand periously close to their vital Alex andria naval base. In southern Russia an ominous dent has been made in Marshall Timoshenko's communication services east of Kravkov Yet in Washington a confident note is sounded. And in the joint Roosevelt-Churchill statement there is the definite promise of coming operations which will divert German strength from the attack on Russia. Cheering, too, is the resumption of British air pounding at Germany and reliable reports that United States air units are laying the groundwork for American participation in such mass raids. The creation of an American zone of operations in Europe suggests that joint Anglo-American second-front moves are a near, not remote, possibility. Naturally no hint of their nature or scope is available beyond the certainty that American army air power will soon join the British against German targets. Turning westward to appraise the war picture across the Pacific at this time of crisis in Europe.

United States and Britain vow joint offensive in world war
The United States and Britain pledged a major operation to divert German strength from Russia as Soviet forces halted near Kharkov and Sevastopol. Roosevelt and Churchill warned of forthcoming actions while U S arms production surged to 4 000 planes and 1 500 tanks monthly and shipping remained a key bottleneck. The Axis threat loomed near Matruh in Egypt as the British Eighth Army rebuilt for a potential battle, with RAF air power targeted at disrupting supply lines.

Price of Gas Up In East
The OPA approved a 24 cent rise per gallon in gasoline and a 2 cent rise for fuel oil and kerosene along the eastern seaboard. Administrator Leon Henderson said subsidies to industries under price ceilings would have prevented the hike but transport costs into the rationing area must be passed to consumers due to lack of subsidy legislation.
