Unconfirmed reports said Marshal Timoshenko's troops already had battled their way into the northeast suburbs of Kharkov and were fighting the 1 Germans in the streets. simultaneously. a Stockholm dispatch said the Russians, Hanking Kharkov to the south, had breached ttic German de fenses at I.ozovanya in a drive to cut nazi communications with the entm iront south of that point. 1 .zeva;iya i.- a mi] j'meti>>n town, about miriv. ay between Kharkov and St ,i I ’ '*■ i.

In any event, the fall of Kerch would net necessarily mean that Hitler could reach out and seize the great Caucasus oil fields, across the narrow Kerch strait from Kerch city. The Germans held Kerch for two months last year without risking a thrust across Kerch strait under the guns of the Soviet Black sea fleet. Soviet dispatches gave no indica ini: '!
