continued stubborn fighting in the
Murmansk, Dvinsk, Minsk and

"In other sectors of the front,
reconnaissance, frequent troop re

place."
?he roar of cannonading was re

most of the 2,000-mile front from
the Baltic to the Black Sea.

WORLD CHAMPION
MISS MARGARET HAMMA, operating an IBM Electromatic
Typewriter, established a new professional world's record
of 149 words per minute for one hour.
The first half-hour of this performance won for her the amateur championship.
These records were made in competition with 8 other professional contestants
and 44 other amateur contestants from various parts of the United States and
Canada. 2$- The competition was held under the auspices of the Ninth Annual
International Commercial Schools Contest in Chicago, on June 19 and 20, 1941.

Reich's war flag has been flying
from the citadel since 4:20 a. m.
(6:20 p. m. PST., Sunday.")
The city lies 50 miles inside
sovietized Poland from the Ger
man frontier.
It was in this sector, less than
two years ago, that the routed Po
lish army was forced to capitu
late to German forces who later
yielded it to Russia when Poland
was partitioned.
Fight on Old Frontiers
While the Germans claimed a
rapid-fire series of successes, it
was apparent that with the excep
tion of the Minsk area, Russia's
Red armies still were fighting
west of the 1939 Soviet frontiers.
In addition, a Moscow communi
que declared that German attempts
to knife across the Karelian is
thmus from Finland, now fighting
at the side of Germany, and to land
troops by sea at Viipuri were re
pulsed. Viipuri is on the gulf of Fin
land, only 74 miles by railroad
from Leningrad, Russia's second
largest city.
The Soviet war bulletin also as
serted that the Red army still was
holding against violent attacks
ranging from Murmansk, on the
Barents sea, to the vicinity of
Minsk and on south through the
Luck-Lwow gateway to the great
wheatfields of the Ukraine.
Tanks StUl Battle
In this region, between Luck and
Lwow, a flaming battle of 4,000
German and Soviet tanks raged
into its fifth day with the nazi
juggernaut seeking to break
through to the Ukraine capital of
Kiev, 250 miles eastward.
The Berlin radio announced the
occupation of Luck, 100 miles
northwest of Lwow, but this could
not b confirmed.
West of Minsk, in the Bialystok
sector of old Poland, the Germans
declared two Soviet armies werej
trapped. Military sources in Vichy I
heard the two armies numbered
400,000 mn, but they gave them a
chance to break through.
By contrast, Russian military

The Russians conceded that
German columns had penetrated
into Lithuania a third of the way
to Leningrad and across Poland
almost a third of the way to Mos
cow.
On the Viipuri front, the Rus
sians said, 300 nazis were killed
in a single assault and the entire
German landing party put ashore
near vupun was wiped out.
France broke off diplomatic re
lations with Russia this morning
with the official explanation that
"Soviet diplomatic and consular
agents in France were carrying
out activities against the public
order and security of the state."
It was the first time France had
reached an open break against
any of German s enemies.

Finns Follow Leader
Cannon blazed all alone the
600-mile Russian-Finnish frontier
as the Finns, heeding an appeal
from Field Marshal Baron Carl
Gustaf Mannerheim to follow him
in a "holy war against the Rus
sians, cast off their policy of pas
sive resistance.
The Slovak high command de
clared that the forces of the tiny
state, which is all Adolf Hitler
left of Czecho-SIovakia, had driven
deep into Soviet territory to seize
prisoners and material.
The German high command
claimed that 2,233 Russian tanks,
4,107 Russian planes and 1,297
Russian armored cars had been
destroyed during the first week of
war; that 40,000 Russian prisoners
and 600 big guns had been cap
tured. All this at a cost of 150 Ger
man planes.
The Red army called these
claims "boastful humbug" and
gave its own figures: 2,500 Ger
man tanks destroyed to 900 Rus
sian, 1,500 German planes des
troyed to 850 Russian; 30,000 Ger
man prisoners taken to 15,000 Rus
