mans were said to be throwing
fresh troops and new tanks Into
the battle.
Russian Defeniei
The Russians also were bring
ing up large numbers of 60-ton
"KV" tanks to combat the mam
moth German Tigers in a deadly
struggle which already has
reached history-making propor
tions for the high German losses
and spectacularly low gains.
But as the German forces in
the Orel-Kursk sector tried vain
ly to imitate the example of
their comrades at the Belgorod
end, the Russian army news
paper Red Star warned against
underestimating the strength of
the German armies.
"Ersati Victory"
The Germans continue to fight
desperately because Hitler has
to try to offer the people "if
not a real victory at least an
ersatz victory," Red Star said.
"Germany can't wait. It is
frightened by the offensive spirit
of the red army and the war
preparations of the United States
nd England."
Red Star, red army organ, re
ported the powerful nazi tank
columns had changed the direc
tion of their attack several
times in the Orel-Kursk sector
seeking a weak point in deep
Russian positions.
In that northern seetion of the
fiercely-blazing 200-mile battle
line, the Russians said their
troops regained lost ground in a
succession of counter-attacks
yesterday while holding firm
against a mighty stab by some
90,000 nazi troops against one
narrow area.
The nazis returned to the at
tack at 8 a. m. yesterday on
the Orel-Kursk sector. On the
narrow front where the 90,000
German forces were engaged,
the battle had reached its peak
by 2 p. m. The Pravda cor
respondent said one unit,- how
ever, withstood 13 subsequent
attacks.
The correspondent said that,
protected by swarms of aircraft,
the Germans threw 250 tanks
against the Russians, But not a
ingle one got through, he said.

before, we can't afford to dis
miss them as too big to be be
lieved. '
THIS newest fighting in Russia
1 follows familiar pattern.
The Russians hold a wedge
thrusting westward into the
German lines from Kursk (seo
your map) and the Germans are
trying to bite off the wedge by
hitting its base from two sides.
They seem to be biting into
something pretty tough.
""THE morale of the Russian
armies in this fighting is
described as high possibly
higher than ever before. Even
more important, the dispatches
relate that Russian air power is
at least EQUAL to the German.
In most of the previous fight
ing in Russia, the Germans have
had clear superiority in the air.
BECAUSE of -the excellence of
the news, we mustn't jump to
the conclusion that the war is
won and that we can afford to
coast from here on. But we are
safe in feeling that things are
going MUCH better for our side.

ing. Circuit Judge Latourette
said that good cause had been
shown why the case had not
been brought to trial earlier.
Members of the grand jury
and several county officials,
who had been subpoenaed as
witnesses several days ago by
the defense, appeared in court.
Through questioning of these
witnesses, the defense sought to
bring out the fact that the grand,
jury had been influenced by
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg, also, that his name and
that of John Reber were not on
the indictment though both had
appeared before the grand jury,
and that the indictment should
be quashed on these grounds.

WASHINGTON. July 9 (P
President Roosevelt gave a clear
indication today that he has no
intention of asking John L.
Lewis to sign a new agreement
with coal operators, as the mine
union chief has been ordered to
do by tho war labor board .
What good would it do, Mr.
Roosevelt asked at a press con
ference, if he sent Lewis a note
in longhand on pink paper ask
ing him to please conform with
the WLB order, and Lewis did
not sign?
Reporters informed the presi
dent that the board apparently
felt it needed "some govern
mental reaffirmation" of its or
der, presumably from him.
After all, the chief executive
remarked, that was action by a
quasi-judicial body and speaks
for itself.
"What happens if Lewis does
not conform?" a newsman in
quired. The president shot back:
What would you do?"
"I don't know," his questioner
responded. "I'm not president."

President Roosevelt said today
that congress has a lot to do
when it comes back in Septem

ference comment on the sum

on the subsidy issue but ob
served he might say something
on it later.
To a question whether he was
in a position to comment on
planning for employment after
the war, Mr. Roosevelt said it
was being studied and an effort
was being made to get orderly
procedure and policy for it.
That was nna rpavtn h matA

Japs Quotation
(The Tokyo newspaper Asahl
was quoted in a Berlin broadcast
yesterday as saying the allies

fighting on the front.")
LONDON. July 9 (Pi A
Tokyo dispatch broadcast from
Berlin today quoted Japanese

"units of the Japanese air force
attacked enemy troops which
