Britain Word to People As far as the Russian people are concerned that was Stalin's last word and they will accept it as fact until and unless he tells them something different" Naturally Cassidy added the Russian people hope for the establishment of a second front as soon as possible By "a second front" the Russians mean a land front against Hitler in Europe even though they realize the importance of the African campaign Cassidy himself expects that the second front will be set up this fall but he believes it will take- at least two more years to batter into defeat Germany -Russias mighty winter drives are bound to slow down soon as a result of the spring thaw and the mud" the correspondent said 'The Germans may be able to resume their offensives in the summer but red army men think they (Continued From Page One) the day before were beaten backterattacks mounted with every at a cost of 200 nazis killed the tank the nazis could muster stalted the Russian offensive in the muddy communique said Red army aircraft were sweep- I Donets basin Saturday but to the ing ahead of ground troops in north in the Kharkov-Kurs- k at the air field at Za- tor the red army drove ahead and the communique also capturing numerous villages porozhe The German pressure was heavireported that air units on Friday est in the sections southwest of lestroyed or damaged 200 Ger- Kramatorsk and Voroshilovgrad man trucks with troops and supthe army newspaper Red plies and silenced five artillery However Star said the cumulative attrition batteries was Russia) ships in the Barents sea levied for the last 10 days des-It sank an enemy destroyer Friday diminishing the power toof the hold the effort enemy perate 'added Guerilla detachments operating rich strategic basin Twenty tanks in the Sumy region "wiped out were destroyed overnight in that German garrisons in a number of section alone the Russian midday said populated places" in the first half communique e "In one sector the Germans of February and one unit "rdlited to break through to a tempting a of headquarters Hungarian a populated place launched regiment" killing 10 staff o'llicers large of consecutive counteratSumy is 75 miles from Konotop number tacks" the communique said of junction point on the at-th- Kiev-Mosco- w the critical Kramatorsk sectortroops repulsed all counterThe Hungarian army on the and killed over 300" Russian front is being regrouped attacks IX Rostov province where theand its formations are being withare within striking disdrawn to new positions a Hungar- 13ASSiarIS on the sea of of tance Taganrog ian communique broadcast by the Azov said only artillery dispatches German radio reported duels and local infantry action took place By Associated Press WITH THE RED ARMY IN THE UKRAINE via Moscow railway "Our- -
