Boguchar is 140 miles southeast of Veronezh and Lisch ansk is 200 miles due south. In all three areas the red army, pitted against overwhelmingly superior forces, fell back stead ily. The communique said of this retreat: "Mobile groups and aircraft covering the withdrawal are pin ning the enemy down and inflict ing heavy losses on him." Amid calls for the allies to open a second front in Europe against the axis, the great German drive to the east with its unchecked gathering momentum threatened to do these things: Split the central and south ern red armies entirely; gain the Volga at the great industrial city af Stalingrad 299 miles away; seal that waterways rente and other supply lines from the United Nations to the Rnsslans; and conquer the oil riches of the Caucasus itself. The conquest of the Caucasus might preclude any major organ ized soviet resistance to the nazis in this area for some time.- The nazis fast were getting into a position to wheel both to the north and south from their long wedge which is the -greatest pene tration yet of soviet soil. From Voronezh they could turn northwest toward Moscow, 300 miles away. From Gobuchar they could turn southwest toward Stal ingrad; and from Lisichansk they could curve southward 'to outflank the Russian defenses at Rostov on the, sea of Azov and thus gain entry to the Caucasian oil fields. The Knssians have been wav ing a gallant fight to retain control of Voronezh, a key rail way city on the Moscow -Rostov line, tn a country where the railroads -are far insufficient for the immense territory they serve. The Germans claimed the cap ture of Voronezh as long ago as July 7. 265 Begin JS wim Gimpaign; Here Two hundred sixty five youths crowded Salem playground swimming pools Monday after noon as the American Red Cross- Vplay ground sponsored, learn-to- swim program swung underway.

He said the Mexican government was fully advised of the German overtures. WASHINGTON, July ll-Vf) There was no immediate com ment in official quarters Mon day on the statement by Lieut. CoL Armando. Bernal at Mexi co City that Germany two years ago planned an attack on the United States. Bernal's statement that Mexi co had 'been offered territorial concessions for her cooperation recalled, however, the famous Zimmerman note of the first World war. 1 Arthur Zimmerman, high Ger man government official on Janu ary 19, 1917, addressed an invi tation to Mexico to enter an al liance with Germany against the United 'States. This was months before this nation declared war on Germany. Under the proposed agreement Mexico was to get New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. The proposal was sent through Von Eckhardt German minister to Mexico, and was Intercepted. President Wilson published the note March 1, 1917. Its publica tion was a factor in arousing pub- lice opinion to a pitch resulting in the declaration- of war a few weeks later. Berrymen Form Pool A group of evergreen black' berry growers met in Woodburn Monday and formed a pool of over 400 tons, after considering probable cost of harvest which looks like a picking price of S cents .per pound, plus a one cent bonus. In addition there will be a Vi cent cost for yard help and hauling, making a total cost of 4 cents per pound. It will be necessary, in order for the growers to make any profit, that they receive 10 cents per pound, it was said. The pool was signed up with North Marion Fruit company. Selling of the 400 tons will be handled by this company.' A sizeable block of boysenber- ries was sold by the North Marlon Fruit company of Woodburn Monday at 8 cents per pound.
