and Slovak troops had smashed
forward "to the gates ot Kiev,"
capital of the Soviet Ukraine.
Encirclement
"With this break-through deep
beyond the Stalin line," the com
munique went on, "It became pos
aible to tum southward in a broad
front between the Dniester and
Dnieper rivers, cut off the enemy's
retreat and begin an encirclement
battle which presently is raging at
full fury."
Declaring that the time had now
come to disclose results of "ine
tremendous struggle which began
with the break-through of the
Stalin line," the nazl high com
mand asserted:
"As apparent from numerous
reports, Soviet leadership no long
er possesses a reliable picture of
the situation on their own front."
By contrast, Russia's Vice For
eign Commissar S. A. Lozovsky
reported that "the process of dis
integration of the German army
has begun," and that Hitler's blitz
krieg legions cracked "when the
period of easy victories ended and
the period of heavy losses began."
Successes Reported
In one of the longest communi
ques ot the 46-day-old war with
Russia, the German high command
declared that "successes have been
achieved which are surpassing the
most optimistic expectations."
"It must also be taken Into con
sideration that the losses of the
Bolsheviks are much bigger than
the figures quoted, because the
number of their dead Is consider
ably much larger than the number
of prisoners taken."
Previous German estimates have
placed the number of Red army
killed at twice the number of pris
oners. On this basis, the Russians
would have lost nearly 1,800,000
slain.
"New Theater"
"Conscious of their superiority,
the German armed forces are
ready to begin on a new theater
of war the fight which was initi
ated by a number of gigantic vic
tories," the fuehrer's headquar
ters said.
There was no Indication of what
was meant by "a new theater of
war," but presumably it signalled
that a big push deeper into the
U. S. S. R. was about to begin.
Soviet dispatches said the nazl
war machine was striking full-

Russian Fight Praised
In London, Prime Minister Win'
sten Churchill's Deputy Major Cle
ment Attlee, deprecated German
claims of success ana praised Rus
sia's "magnificent fight."
"As long ago as July 13," Attlee
told the house of commons, "the
Germans claimed the Stalin line
had been pierced at decisive points
and that the roads to Leningrad,
Moscow and Kiev were open.
"If these roads had been open
all these weeks, why have not the
Germans marched on their objec
tives?" Attlee asserted that Hitler's high
command had been "disagreeably
surprised" by the fighting quality
of Russia's armies and that the
Germans had suffered "very heavy
losses" In men and material.
Despite the intensity of attacks
on the Leningrad front, in the
deep-driven Smolensk salient, and
the twin thrusts into the Ukraine,
the Red army declared it was
holding firm and; in some sections,
driving home counter-attacks.
Smolensk Gains Ignored
A Moscow communique which
reported fighting continuing into
a fourth week in the Smolensk
area made no mention of German
accounts yesterday of a ground
gaining push southeast of Smo
lensk. Moscow also left unclarified the
situation at Kholm, 180 miles south
of Leningrad, where fighting had
been reported. Germans said the
town was in their hands. The
Russians declared, however, that
on an unspecified sector of the
Leningrad, front repeated attacks
by the German 16th motorized di
vision had been repulsed with Ger
man, casualties of at least 1800
men. , . '
German reports of steady- pro
gress of encircling moves In the
Ukraine were countered by Rus
sian statements that the Red army
was holding firm in the Korosten
sector, 80 miles northwest of Kiev,
and the Bel Tserkov sector, 50
miles south of the Ukraine capi
tal. 'The Germans reported hav
ing captured Bel Tserkov.
The Red army said its counter
attacks smashed a German infan
try regiment near Korosten, kill
ing and wounding more than soo
Germans and taking many pris
oners. Turkey Calmed
Delayed dispatches from Ankara
said Britain had taken diplomatic
steps to calm Turkish fears that
her rights would be trampled upon
in any post-war settlement. The
British ambassador was said to
have given Turkey specific as
surances that his government
would enter into no agreement
with Soviet Russia concerning
post-war spheres of influence
which would infringe on Turkey's
interests.
British bombers, varying their
usual tactics of nightly attacks on
northwestern Germany, hit last
night at Frankfort, Mannheim,
Karlsruhe and other objectives in
industrial southwestern Germany.

"Dream In France"
The national vice president de
scribed how France "dreamed" of
social security for her people for
20 years, and then saw it swept
aside by the German army in two
weeks.
In the United States there has
been much "loose thinking" on
the subject ot economic and na
tional security. He called for busi
ness men and their organizations
to "cooperate through their local
and national associations to make
themselves felt in economic life.
A business organization has a much
greater responsibility than merely
getting new Industries lor a com
munity," he continued.
J. J. Strike, president of the
Idaho Power company from Boise,
followed up Johnston's address
with a brief resume of economic
trends in America.
Strike traced the growth of na
tional income from $300 per cap
ita in 1890 to the $3000 peak in
1929.,
Coordination Urged
Discussing the regular recessions
which have appeared on the chart
of business, he maintained mat
business and labor alike have been
attempting to lay the blame on
each other's doorstep.
He called for an "orderly co
ordination" of all groups, business,
government, labor, agriculture, to
"cusnion" tne economic snoot
which is to be expected after this
war.
"We can't continue to hold our
selves un by our own bootstraps,"
Strike said, commenting on the
policy- ef national spending to
cushion the effect of depression.
The power company executive
also showed that American stand
ards of living, still based on in
comes of 1929. could not be main
tained unless incomes actually
reached that level. He called for
industrial and commercial activ
ity through research to create
new payrolls, new wealth, and re
store the old level. -
Defense Class Held
Irving Terrell of the Oakland,
Cel., chamber led an afternoon
class on "Industrial and Defense
Activities." He discussed means
of locating and handling new In
dustries, how to take surveys and
present the facts, and also dis
cussed defense orders.

President's Yacht
'Cruises Slowly'
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. VPh-
A report from the presidential
yacht Potomac said today that
President Roosevelt was enjoying
a cruise off New England. The
brief communication made no
mention of a much-rumored meet
ing with British Prime Minister
Winston ChurchilL
The navy department issued the
following dispatch from the yacht
Potomac:
"Cruise ship proceeding slowly
along coast with party fishing
from stern. Weather fair, sea
smooth. Potomac rivers sailors
responding to New England air
alter Washington summer."
Rumors had been circulating
here and in other world caoitals
that the president might meet
Churchill somewhere in the North
Atlantic. The wording of today's
message indicated that the yacht
was sticking close to the New
England shore and was making no
such speed as it might put on if
the president had a rendezvous
with any official coming from
Europe.
