Rockefeller, Jr., Tells Why He Believes InUSO Program A statement by John D. Rocke feller, Jr. was released by USO officials here yesterday. It is as follows: I want to give you three reasons why I believe in USO. The first: It is a great builder of morale. And the effectiveness of manpower is, in the last analysis, measured in terms of morale. The USO, in stiving to produce the home atmosphere and its en vironments with its social life, its friendliness, its counsel service, its motherly and sisterly compansion ship, its personal comforts, its books, games and diversified activ ities, is helping the men in the service to feel, as nothing else can that somebody cares, and cares vitally and constantly about them. And secondly, I believe in USO because it is a united effort. In the present war, the six organiza tions united at the outset. They have apportioned the field and are working in a spirit of cooperation that grows daily. We are here to serve these men in uniform. We must not disappoint them; we must serve them in the way that will help them most. This can be done effectively only as we work together. And finally, I believe in the USO because it is based upon spiritual values. This war is fundamentally a death struggle between the ma terial and spiritual forces in the world. Materialism has run ram pant. To our fighting forces we must bring spiritual power if they are to be invincible. That is the high task of the USO. GERMANS PLAN TO EXTEND SUB DRIVE (Continued from Page One) degrees north, 60 degrees west, 45 degrees north, 20 degrees west and 45 degrees north, five degres west and then to the French coast at 37 degrees, 30 minutes north.” This charted a line running north from the Belgian coast through the center of the North sea, then west, ward to include the waters about Iceland and Greenland, then south along the Canadian and U. S. shores to the West Indies. “Such an extension of the realm of operations on the part of the German Navy,” the broadcast ad ded, “is more than an announce ment on paper. That has been proved already beyond a shadow of a doubt by the successes achiev ed by German submarines in American waters. “With the pact concluded in Lon don and the agreement said to have been reached in Washington between the English - speaking democracies and their bolshevik ally, it is an entirely different matter. Here is a declaration on paper which is far from being backed by any reality which might have an influence on the actual course of the war. “The only point which might be of interest when viewed from a strictly dispassionate and strictly realistic angle, is the alleged de cision to set up a second front in Eruope this year. “That, of course, is a hope per haps not so much of the democ racies themselves as of their hard pressed bolshevik Allies, a hope which,paradoxical as it may seem is shared by the German army, whose forces are itching to give a warm reception to any Allied ex peditionary force which might at tempt to fulfill the demand from Moscow.” ANNOUNCED IN BERLIN BERLIN, (From German Broad casts), June 13—(#1—The German government announced tonight ex tension of its blockade across the Atlantic all the way to ihe Amer ican coast as a result of the United States’ entry into the war and of warfare has taken since then off the American seaboard.” (CBS in New York heard a Ber lin broadcast saying the blockade extension was Germany’s answer to Allied threats of a second front.) The official announcement said: "The operations area in which at all times military action must be reckoned with has been enlarged to extend to the American coast across the Atlantic ocean. “This was caused by the fact that the United States entered the war, and furthermore, by the de velopment which naval warfare has taken since then off the Amer ican seaboard. Every ship which will sail in this area after June 26 is subjecting itself to destruc tion.

Expending its manpower at a fearful rate, the German com mand was said to be sending fresh soldiers every hour into the Khar kov fighting, while on the Sevasto. pol front, 400 miles to the south, German bodies were piling up be fore unbroken Soviet fortifications (Axis sources said tank battles m the Kharkov sector were the prelude to Adolf Hitler’s lo n g awaited summer offensive against Russia. (The Germans in Berlin report ed their troops had wiped out a Russian bridgehead on the west bank of the Donets river. This pre sumably was in the vicinity of Izy um, where the Red army managed to maintain a two-mile foothold after Marshal Semeon Timosh enko’s last big drive. (The Germans also said they had smashed across the river to its east bank and encircled the Rus sians at one point.) Continues Defense The Russians said their valiant Sevastopol garrison was keeping up its grinding defense against the Germans. So effective was this stand, the Russians declared, that the Germans were being forced to use more and more Rumanians as “cannon fodder.” Extremely fierce fighting was reported on the Soviet e x t r erne left flank, where the Sevastopol defense system, 15 miles deep, ex. tends down to the sea. The Moscow radio said Axis at tacks were hurled back yesterday and toda’ The r assian army newspaper, Red Sta reported the Germans made thro. • uccessive assaults on a northern Sevastopol sector, end ing each with hand-to-hand com bat, but failed to advance a step. Four more enemy attacks in a nearby sector, supported this time by artillery, also had an equal lack of success, reports said,_ REMEMBER DAD SUNDAY, JUNE 21st, WITH FATHER'S DAY GIFTS TAILORED FOR READY-TO-WEAR FROM EFIRD'S A fabric imported from England and tailored by America’s fore most maker of summer clothes: PRIESTLEV S ROR-ERSI ☆ At last, you can enjoy real summer comfort without a let-down in style!
