Somervell, assistant L. s. Army chief of staff, declared in Lon don today that the Lnited States stands ready to supply "men and materials on a large scale to a European battle front." even as Adolf Hitler's field headquarters claimed victory in the critical battle south of Kharkov. General Somervell's statement, coinciding with a r: in” British cln naor for direct action against Ger many. said tlie United States was ible to send men and supplies de spite the shipping shortage and large commitments in Australia and India. Russia has frequently urged Brit tin and the United States to open a second front against Hitler’s armies lit is summer. While tiie bloody battle of Kharkov swirled toward a cli max, Britain's desert armies struggled against a furious new axis offensive in north Africa, a drive aimed at Egypt and the green valley of the Nile. British headquarters said tank-led axis thrusts had been repulsed on both flanks of the Libyan battle seen#, hut an RAF communique acknowledged that axis mechanized forces tiad ad vanced within 15 miles of the main British stronghold at Tobruk. I’he RAF said British fliers bomb 'd the enemy throughout yesterday n the Bir Haeheim and Ed Adam irons. This indicated that axis tanks had miff d about .10 miles past the Brit sh forward defense system, which •trelched between Bir Haeheim and \in el G.ixala.
