S., as he spoke to 20,000 persons assembled in Madison Square Garden in New York City during a Russian War Relief meeting. He cautioned against belief in an auto matic victory. “Much depends,” he said, “on the ration al and timely use of resources.”—(Central Press.) CAPTURED CAIRO, June 25—GP—It was dis closed officially tonight that Maj. Gen. H. B. Klopper, * commander of tbs second South African di vision and general officer com manding the Tobruk garrison, was captured when that port surrender ed last Sunday. 5 WPB MAY LIMIT NEW BUILDINGS (Continued from Page One) he pointed out that the materials and production pattlefront would continue to change from month to month and that “projected plants which now seem to require an impossible quantity of scarce materials may be entirely feasible six months from now.’’ Acknowledging that some of the raw materials programs “we r e clearly undertaken too late, and others were conceived in far too niggardly fashion,” Nelson predict ed that the drive to salvage scrap for war industries eventually might be compelled to “go well beyond what is normally considered scrap.” “Prominent among the types of (scrap) sources tapped in Europe have been metal fences, statuary and other decorative metal work, metal signs, and the like,” he ob served. “I am not yet sure what is involved in our seeking to utilize these s o u r c es of badly needed metals but it is not too soon for all of us to begin thinking about these possibilities. “Any one of us can walk down any street in Washington and see substantial quantities of metals that might thus be used.” 5 NAVY ANNOUNCES LOSS OF 2 SHIPS (Continued from Page One) net was Lieutenant Francis Ed ward Nuessle, 31, whose home address was given as 710 Second street, Bismarck, N. D. The commander of the YP-389 was Lieutenant Roderick John stone Philips, 43, of 115 East 37th st., New York City. The YP-389 formerly was the Cohasset, a fishing boat owned by R. E. O’Brien, of 34 Boston Fish Pier, Boston, Mass. Built in 1941, the steel-hulled craft was acquired by the Navy January 6, 1942 and outfitted for anti-submarine work. Lieutenant Philips, a naval reserve officer, was called to active duty in January. The Gannet was a minesweeper originally, built by Todd Shipyard Corporation, New York City, and placed in commission in July, 1919. She was converted to a seaplane tender in 1936 and has quarters available for 5 officers and 50 en listed men. Whether this full com plement was on board at the time she was torpedoed was not stated by the Navy, 5 I •A f toe •/ "eo* ..’ V alZ ne nof „ , w'th M S?*3?i8SifiS?sTiS-1 <z:« ‘ I KUPYANSK FALLS TO AXIS FORCES (Continued from Page One) may have started, with the Ger mans apparently trying to swing around north of Russian positions in the Izyum area. Kupyansk also is on the Oskol river, which flows into the Do nets. (The German high command on Thursday mentioned for the first time that it had launched an of fensive in the Kharkov area, agreeing with Soviet reports that it was launched Monday. (Frequently in the past such announcements of new drives have been withheld until they had scor ed at least an initial success, and thus Berlin’s taking notice of this sector may indicate the German leaders now expect the effort to be successful.) The Soviets said there were no material changes on other sec tors but told of successes by Red forces in unidentified areas, in cluding the sinking of two trans ports by field artillery and the partial annihilation of two bat talions of enemy infantry. Sevastopol, now virtually a ruins under a pall of smoke and dust, went Into its fourth week of resistance to the death with its outer defenses shell-torn and over-run but its inner fortress line intact. The Crimean port was taking a pounding from a strange, huge new weapon the German high command was using for the first time. Russian reports described it as a 615 millimeter weapon. It was believed here to be a 24-inch howitzer or mortar. There were no other details on the huge cannon. (This weapon would be consid erably larger than the biggest ar tillery rifles or howitzers known. It might be a mortar for hurling large mines.) On the second of the great new summer fronts, the German drive from Kharkov was developing into the full violence of a see-saw struggle after the Russian lines absorbed the first shock of mass tank assault. The battle for Sevastopol was most violent north and south of the port where the Germans were reported dying by the thousands in an attempt to deepen their penetration into the defense sys tem. Although dispatches from the city acknowledged that its posi tion was “quite serious,” Red Star reported that the tremendous loss es the Germans had suffered— losses estimated at five to one for the defenders—were sapping the strength of the assault. “In the last few days the Ger mans have weakened a little in their attacks on our positions as a result of immense losses,” the army newspaper said, “but they still are superior in number, thus permitting them to carry on vio lent battles in a number of sec tors.” Russian accounts of the first 21 days of the new onslaught said six German and Rumanian divi sions had been defeated, three oth ers suffered staggering losses, and tanks and planes destroyed by the hundreds. The defeated divisions were list ed as the German 22nd, 50th, 132nd and 72nd and the Rumanian 1st and 18th. Those suffering extreme losses W’ere said to be the Ger man 24th and 117th and the Ru manian 4th. Dispatches from' the besieged city said that resistance, although admittedly difficult, continued over the yellow, rocky soil that has been drenched with blood. TREMENDOUS MORTAR WASHINGTON. June 25 —(51— The 615 millimeter artillery weap on reported used by the Nazi be siegers of Sevastopol may be a mortar designed to hurl a mine or other heavy explosive a rela tively short distance, military sources believe. Twenty-four inch mortars have been used in earlier stages of war fare, but their usefulness was limited because of short range. So far as Is known, the United States Army’s largest mobile wea pon, aside from railway guns, is a 240 millimeter howitzer, which fires a shell more than nine inches in diameter. Fixed coast defense guns run up to 16 inches in di ameter. CAMP DAVIS 0. C. S. TO INCREASE AGAIN (Continued from Page One) service to become officers, it was pointed out. Any soldier may make application to compete for selec tion for officer training. Choice of anti-aircraft training or training in other arms or services is subject to the preference and Qualifications of the individual ap 'icant.
