tions, purchased a bookmobile, and

Rev. John L. Goff, chairman, Wil
liamstong Paul D. Roberson. treas
urer, Robersonvilla; and E H. Ange,

county in accordance with the local
appropriation. New books are be
ing purchased and processed in the
headquarters office, now located in
the Washmgton Public Library. The
new books will be supplemented by
a loan collection from the North Car

Germans Are Facing
Stubborn Resistance
In Leningrad Battle
(Continued from page one)
Not only at Leningrad, but in the
central front near Gomel, and in the
south before besieged Odessa, the
Russians claimed new victories to
day
One village was said to have been
recaptured in "the direction of Go
mel," from where the Germans
launched their southward drive to
the Desna River. Before Odessa, ac
cording to Red Star correspondents,
the Rumanians 13th and 15th divi
sions have been routed.
(In New York, the Columbia
Broadcasting System heard the Brit
ish Radio broadcast a Moscow dis
patch saying heavy rains were fall
ing all over the Russian front and
that Russian planes had intensified
their attack on German bases and
troop columns in spite of the bad
weather.) ^
At Leningrad, it was said, the Cier
man pressure seldom relaxes, al
though the Germans sometime fall
back under counterattacks, only to ^
return with reinforcements.
At one point before Leningrad
Russian troops forced a river, charg
ed with bayonets and routed Ger
mans from an unstated number of
villages, it was claimed, and Soviet
cavalrymen, covering the infantry s
flanks, hacked the fleeing Germans
"to pieces."
At the same time, Russian air
planes battered at German airports
and singled out German planes for
combat, destroying 50 of them in
one day, according to the Russian
count.
This was the 50th day of the siege
of Odessa, and, according to Red Star
reports from there, the Russians
gained considerable territory around
the city after an intense battle in
which the two Rumanian divisions
were reported routed
The Soviet Information Bureau
said Russian planes shot down five
of a group of German planes at
tempting to raid Moscow in daylight
yesterday.
Tass, official news agency, said 600
German officers and men were kill
ed, and 11 tanks, five armored cars,
eight trucks, 29 machine guns, eight
trench mortars and 25 boxes of am
munition captured or destroyed in
one part of the central front.
Denying German estimates of the
number of Soviet warships sunk,
Tass denied that Russia had lost any
warships, but claimed that Soviet
seamen had sunk 14 German trans
ports and other craft and one Fin
nish warship, and that they had
damaged or disabled 10 German
transports and destroyers
In a surprise drive toward Mos
cow three German panzer divisions
were almost wrecked, the remnants
falling back after 20,000 of the bar
barian attackers had been killed or
lost, according to reports received
early this afternoon.
Horrible stories are coming out
of Leningrad where aged men and
women and little children are vol
unteering by the hundreds of thous
ands to fight fires in the city while
abler bodies fight ^off the Germans
in the suburbs and outlying dis-'
tricts.
Incomplete reports are trickling
in telling about an expeditionary
force of a million men making ready
to move out of India to help check
the Germans in an anticipated drive
across the Caucasus ,
Leaders in Britain are urging
greater aid for Russia, and large
shipments of supplies from England,
including tanks and planes, are be
ing moved there.
Japan is reassuring Germany of
her friendship, and Britain is making
plans to move her nationals from the
Far East.
