Tb OBEGON STATESMAN. Salm Orjcra. Thursday Morning, fun 23. 1842
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Wide World Wr Analyst
For The Statesman
Hitler apparently has ordered
his army commanders in south
ern Russia and north Africa to
get on at once with their bloody
jobs, regardless of losses or risks.
Time is the one thing he dare
of smashing eastward against
Russian and British forces sim
ultaneously aemanas insiani ac
tion, if victory is not again to
elude him, perhaps forever.
Russian reports of the rising
fury of German attacks led by
massed tanks south of Kharkov
make that appear for the mo
ment the most crucial phase of
the vast battle. The nazi assault
there has admittedly dented Rus
sian lines, how deeply is unre
vealed. There is no indication, how
ever, that a blitzkrieg break
through has been effected to
split or -oil up Marshal Timo-
shenko's army an army that
menaces the flank of any Ger
man attempt to sweep to the Don
and around the Rostov corner.
No claim of surging tank plunges
through the Russian lines to
spread confusion and havoc be
hind them is voiced from Ber
lin.
And while the Russian front
from Kharkov to the Sea of Azov
remains intact, even it forced
back here or there, and the out
numbered and perhaps doomed
Russian defenders of Sevastopol
fight on under their "victory-or-death"
slogan, the full force of
German might cannot be loosed
against the Caucasus or against
Erypt. Stunning as was the loss
el Tobruk, terrific as the pres
sure is in Russia, the outcome
still is in the balance and with
it probably Hitler's fate.
Cairo and London are still too
engrossed with a post mortem
analysis of the Tobruk defeat to
furnish a very clear picture of
subsequent happenings. It seems
clear, however, that British de
fense lines are bracing along
the Egyptian border for an ex
pected onslaught by General
Rommel.
Cairo reports that Rommel's
victory-flushed but unquestion
ably battle-worn forces are al
ready bombarding the coastal
fortifications on the Egyptian
border, and rushing southward
for a wide turning movement.
Fortified British strong-points
on the Libyan-Egyptian frontier
50 miles or more inland and be
yond the supporting range of
British naval guns were the in
dicated objective of the new axis
turning movement. The coastal
terrain in the border area is dif
ficult It is also in range of the
big guns of the British fleet
That region and its blood
drenched escarpment cut by
"Hellfire" pass has been fought
over repeatedly. Rommel well
may plan to evade major hos
tilities there while his weary
tank forces attempt to turn the
British front from the south.
School Supts.
Visit OCE
Wednesday's sessions of the
Oregon County School Superin
tendents association, in annual
conference here, included a visit
to the Oregon College of Educa
tion at Monmouth, no-host lunch
eon and discussion of reports. '
The Monmouth program was
stressed by a demonstration of
diagnostic procedures and reme
dial measures. Supervision of the
small school and ways in which
colleges of education can parti
cipate most effectively in con
tinuous teacher education were
discussed.
The annual banquet was held

gram will include a discussion of

Holman Bill
Hit by OSFL
PORTLAND. June 24-jiP)-The
Oregon State Federation of Labor
Tuesday protested an amendment
offered by US Senator Rufus C.
Holman to bar classroom discus
sion of politics by school teachers.
"In our opinion, your proposal
is not only a flagrant invasion of
the rights of citizenship to teach
ers but also is an attempted denial
of academic freedom," OSFL Exec
utive Secretary D. E. Nickerson
wrote Holman.
"Our public schools have been
called the bulwark of American
freedom," the letter continued. "If
they are to remain such, it is in
conceivable that a federal restric
tion, through the technical device
of the use of limited federal funds,
should be imposed which would
effectively prevent teachers from
exemplifying the democracy which
we properly boast."
The OSFL convention at Marsh
field last week supported the
Brown amendment which would
remove teachers from jurisdiction
of the Hatch anti-politics act. Hol
man's amendment is to. the Brown
amendment.
