SIMPSON Wide World War Aaartt for The Statesmaa The loss of 'Kursk confronts Hitler with the need for a broadscale readjustment of lines south of that key city. Hirough Kursk run great that feed German' guns far south-1 ward toward the Don-Donets area, where the nari grip already is shaken by mighty Russian of fensives, and . north and west through Orel, another great com munications junction. The fall of Kursk cracks the vital German communications line and leaves Orel in grave jeopardy. But It does even more than that. It increases the threat to still another vital raft line, linking the industrial city of Kharkov, to the south, ,-r and : Bryansk, to " the northand west of Kursk. The sooth flank ef the 41V mile-wide red break-threagh ea the Denets has already cat the main npplr rasle ftr man forces at Sector and In the great ' Don-Donets triangle. Soviet forces are within SI miles er se -f Ijosevaya Junction en the Kharkev-Crunea railroad.--They are within 75 miles ef Slnelnl kovo Junction on the same line, less than 2 0 miles east ef ; Dnepropetrovsk at the npper corner of the great bend ef the Dnieper. The Dnepropetrovsk crossing is the only remaining supply or es cape route, except a round about line from Rostov to Zaporozhe at the lower corner of the Dnieper bend, for all nazl forces in the Don-Donets triangle and appears in deadly periL Most observers measure the sue-, cess of the present Russian offen sive in the south against Hitler's 1942 jumpoff front. That has been breached north of Kursk and south of Rostov, but the biggest gap is in the center west of Izyum. At that point the Russians are not only west of the German 1942 jump-off but west also of the Kaiser's 1J18 front. , Russian exploitation, west and south of the Izyum break-through on the Donets must force a swift enemy retreat from the Don Donets triangle below It. ' That would not only mean nazl aban donment of all and mora ground than was taken in Russia in 1942, WAM "?''r.
