The Russian radio claimed that the Red army had scored a “major victory”—but the German radio countered with a declaration that repeated Russian attacks on the central front were frustrated. A Reuters dispatch from Kuibyshev, Russia’s alternate capital, quoted Maj. Gen. M. Zakharov as writing that per sistent Soviet attacks on the Kalinin front between Smolensk and Lenngrad have so con fused the Germans that they have wrecked Nazi planes for a spring offensive. Zakharov, in a dispatch from that front to the army news paper, Red Star wrote: “This does not mean that the Geramns will not try to utilize the slightest opportunity to seize the initiative and pass into the counter-offensive. They are bringing up reserves of men and material in an at tempt to take advantage of the favorable conditions of spring and summer.” Red Star also revealed for the first time that points near Lenin grad still are in German hands. Cities held by the Germans in clude Slutsk, 30 miles southeast of Leningrad near the Moscow-Lenin grad railroad and 160 miles west of Tikhvin, where the Russians be gan their winter drive in that area Krasnogvardeisk, 35 miles south of Leningrad, on the road tp Tallinn, Estonia; Porkhov, Peterhof, once the summer home of the Czars Pskov, Luga, Luban, Pushkin, Os trov, and Vyritsa. In the Crimea, Russian reports said, there were wholesale guer rilla activities in mountainous and woody oecftions. The guerrillas were said to have engaged t w o Rumanian forces in a forest bat tle, killing 800 invaders. Berlin, turning to the Crimea, quoted a high command spokesman as saying that a Soviet force had reached the main German lines on an unnamed sector north of the Kerch peninsula. Meanwhile, the Russians said their troops were continuing non stop harassing tactics from the Finnish front to the Black sea. Reports from all along the battle line indicated that the So v i e t s were increasing their grip on tacti cal positions and were inflicting mounting losses in men, tanks and planes on the invaders. The Germans have said that “strong tank thrusts” were made by the Soviets around Ore 200 miles south of Moscow, but the Nazis kuickly asserted that the “enemy was forced to withdraw.” From Helsinki came reports of fierce Russian attacks in Eastern Karelia. These were said to be sup ported by. artillery. Dispatches from the fighting around outflanked Kursk, 280 miles south of Moscow, suggested that 'the German positions there were extremely precarious. * STALIN DECLARES RUSSIA’S AIM IS TO LIBERATE NATION (Continued from Page One) and that the working people of the country “in consideration of the conditions of war have refused to take their holiday rest in order to give this day over to energetic work for the defense of our fath erland.” “Living in close unity with the men of our front, they have turned the holiday of the first of May into a day of labor and struggle in order to give maximum aid to the front and give it more rifles, ma chine-guns, guns, mortars, tanks, planes, military supplies, meat, fish and vegetables. A United Front “This means that the front and rear from a united and insepar able military front in our coun try that is ready to overcome all difficulties in the war to victory over the enemy.” The Russian premier-defense commissar charged that Adolf Hit ler, Reichsmarshal Hermann Goer ing, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Heinrich Himmler and other rulers of present day Germany “are watchdogs of the German bankers, placing the in terests of the latter above all oth er interests.” “The German army,” he added, "in the hands of these masters is a blind weapon called upon to spill their own and other people’s blood and cripple themselves and others not for the sake of the in terests of Germany but for the enrichment of German bankers and plutocrats.” He called the German army an “army of medieval darkness, called upon to destroy European culture in order to institute the slave-driv er culture of German bankers and barons.” The Russian leader said that fas cist Germany and her army had become weaker during the ten months of the Russian-German war. “The war has brought to the Ger man people great disappointment, millions of human lives sacrificed, hunger and impoverishment,” he said. Must Liberate Selves “No end can be seen to the war and human reserves are at their end. “Oil is at its end. “Raw materials are at their end. “Among the German people recognition of the inevitability of Germany’s defeat is growing. “From the German people it be comes clearer and clearer that the only way out of this situation is the liberation of Germany from the adventurous clique of Hitler and Goering.” The premier listed three separate counts of which he said the ex perience of war had exposed the “face of our enemy” to the world. He declared that the German fascists are said to be “nation alists who are defending the in tegrity and independence of Ger many from attacks of other coun tries. “This of course is a lie . . . in actual fact that German fascist are not nationalists but imperial ists who seized other countries and sucked their blood out of them in order to enrich German bankers and plutocrats.” “It is said,” he declared in turn ing to the second count, "that the German fascists are socialists who are trying to defend the inter ests of the working people and peasants against the plutocrats. “This of course is a lie . . . in actual fact the German fascists are reactionaries and slave driv ers and the German army of serfs is spilling their blood for the en richment of German barons and for restoration of the power of land lords.” On the third count, he said: “It is said that the German fas cists are bearers of European cul ture leading the struggle for spreading this culture into other countries. “This of course is a lie ... in actual fact the German fascists are enemies of European culture.” Try an OLD-FASHIONED made with 86 | PROOF If you have a desire for new taste-experiences, try an Old-Fashioned made with Don Q Rum.
