' The Germans Initiated the battle on the northern front trying to take the offensive with tanks, aircraft and reserves. The Russians broke the attack and in a tank battle captured two German Ger-man defense lines. t The Red army organ Red Star pointed out that the Germans could no longer take advantage of temporary superiority in individual in-dividual sectors, since the Initia tive was the Soviet's. Moreover, Red Star said, ex perience had shown the Germans that battle-hardened Soviet in fantrymen were Insusceptible to psychological, panic-sowing air raids," and were well provided with antiaircraft machine guns which made such attacks costly. The killing of 1,400 Germans on the Leningrad front in two days was reported by last midnight's communique .which said 37 German Ger-man planes were shot down on Tuesday, not 32 as previously reported .Fourteen German planes wede destroyed on Wednesday. The Russians lost eight.

Reports regarding developments m uermany are normally subject to discounting because they must necessarily come indirectly to allied al-lied sources and often are cleverly disguised Nazi propaganda. But the tenor of the British report on Nazi armaments was contained in this quote attributed to Keppen- oerg: "It is not possible to maintain tne present level of production be cause the entire plant at Dessau is worn out and almost useless." The Germans obviously are hard put to keep up their machinery production in the face .f RAP bombardment and heavy wear due 10 intense proauction, out if the Dessau plant production were re duced sharply it would be of great importance in the race for aerial superiority. on the other hand, the Ger mans might want to spread false belief that their production was railing nenind in ait effort to encourage en-courage American industry to take 11 easy. Meantime, the luftwiffe, attempting- to exact revenge for the destructive night-and-day British onensive, bombed several places of southwest England and southwest south-west Wales, killing at least 16 persons and causing damage. Two Nazi planes were sholt down over England and the British Brit-ish admitted the loss of four planes in the attack on Rostok, which is 60 miles from Luebeck, another recent target of the RAP. From Russia came the first allied al-lied confirmation of last Saturday's Satur-day's bombing of Tokyo and three other Japanese war centers' by American bombers, but the real story remained to be told. Washington Wash-ington still was silent regarding the attack. ISoirJber Forced Down . The official Russian news agency Tass announced that an American bomber, one of those that raided Japan, had made a forced landing in Russia's maritime mari-time province of far eastern Siberia Si-beria after the attack, and that the plane and its crew had been interned. On the Russian battlefrbnt the Soviets reported new important successes at Bryansk, key center :uu miles southwest of Moscow, where the Red army was said to nave broken inside the German defense belt in a continuation of the first big battle of the spring. 1 Thirty German counter-attacks were said to have been crushed and thousands of Nazis killed.

Thus a continued investigation, he said, is the "best preventive" of trade-restraining practices.
