B«rltn. — fiteashtng at both
flanks of the 2,000-mlIe Ruseian
' battlement, the Oemane declared
yesterday they had captured 150,.
000 Red troops and driven to the
Sea of Asov in the south and
•wrested control of the Soviet-de
fended Bfltlc islands of Oesel
and Muhu in the north:
The drive to the shores of
Asov apparently cut off the en
tire Crimean Peninsular — pos
sibly setting the stage for a ne'w
Dunkerque.
As the Germans cleared the sea
lanes toward Leningrad, a specif 1
war bulletin" claimed complete
control of Oesel and Muhu—the
snd of the Moon—had been
by army, navy and air forces
spite dogged Soviet resistance.

Moscow Admits Kiev
Evacuated By Army
The cru.?hing power of Ger
many’s drive into Russia was
acknowledged today by the llus-
slans, who admitted the evacua
tion of Kiev and said terrific
Nazi assaults were being direct
ed against l,eningrad and Odessr.
The Russian admi=sio« came
as German armies claimed new
and shattering victories at both
ends of the 2.000-mile front. The
Luftwaffe turned the heat on
England again with a fierce
night bombing of Southampton.
[U. S. May Send Reds
500 Planes a Month
'/
■Washington.—Aviation experts
believed last night that the Unit
ed States soon may start sending
embattled Russia as many as 500
fighting planes—mostly two-en
gine bombers-—a month.
They bfsed this estimate on
' jSSratain’s apparent willingness to
li
large quantities of Ameri
can-made war materials to the
Soviet and the increased tempo
of bomber production in this
country.
American pr jduction of two-
engine bombers now U beginning
|.| to roll into high gear, these
sources said They pointed out
that this type of plane represents
stem the Nazi wehrmacbt and that
they could be flown directly to
the Red armies whereas such sup
plies as tanks and guns must be
transported by ship.

Vichy.—German machine-guns,

Marshal Retain had just beg

Germans to save all conquered
France from reprisals.
The Paris sources said the re.
prlsal ahootings -of hostages and
and other executions which up to
now have claimed 35 lives would
be* ‘‘a mere drop in the bucket
to what may happen if sabotage
