Two Years Of War In Russia Knox Hints European Assault Near; Coal Strike Chokes Steel Industry Ordered by President Roosevelt in a formal proclamation to desist, and with steel-helemeted federal troops supporting his command, white and Negro antagonists skulked into hiding after having caused the deaths of 23 persons— 20 of them Negroes — during a calamitous day and night. At least seven, hundred persons were injured and over 1,300 ar- rested. On streets where the blood of both Negro and white had run, 1,100 soldiers marched in patrol to assist the state militia, state police and city police. Early to- day authorities said conditions were \quiet.\ The troops, rolling up in trucks and jeeps and armed with rifles and machine guns, reached Cadil- lac Square, heart of the city, an •hour before midnight. Word of their arrival spread quickly. With- in 30 minutes, police said, the sit- uation had much improved. By midnight it seemed under full control. President Roosevelt, in a proc- lamation from Washington, or- dered that \all persons engaged in unlawful and insurrectionary proceedings\ retire peaceably to their homes. He called on \all good citizens\ to \uphold the laws and preserve the public peace.\ At 2 a.m. (eastern war time) Brig. Gen.

The Berlin radio, in a broadcast recorded by the London Evening News, listed concentrations of Al- lied troops and landing craft in the Mediterranei\n, including what it described as 'a major British parachute force.\ The Axis broadcast followed upon an Allied signal last night to underground forces in Prance to \be ready to act any moment henceforth.\ Broadcasting to Prance in the name of \.the in- ter-Allied High Command,\ the BBC broadcast urged French pa- triots to \be well prepared\ for an invasion.

The News Agency said the Ne- therlands had approximately 180,- 000 persons classified as Jews by Nazi standards at the time of the 1940 German invasion. Their deportation was carried out in three stages, on a geo- graphical basis. April 10 was set for the beginning of the removal of Jews from eight of Holland's 11 provinces. Jews in the remaining three provinces were ordered re- moved beginning April 23, except for the city of Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, where a large concentration of Jew? was held behind Ghetto barriers, the final stage began with a deportation decree issued on May 14. it said a large array of new artil- lery had been installed. One of Germany's crack divi- sions, the 60th motorized infantry, was reported by the German radio to have been transferred' to France. This report coincided with an- other from a usually reliable source in London that German strength in France had been raised from 35 to 44 divisions, making a total of 650,000 thei'e. Mother Cabrini To Be Honored Berne, Switzerland — (AP) — The Swiss telegraph agency ini a dispatch from Vatican City said today that a resolution had been read in the Pope's presence ap- proving two miracles proposed for the canonization of Mother Firan- cesca Saveria Cabrini who died in 1917 in Chicago. Resolutions also were read for tlu> beatification of 19 monks killed in China in 1900, and for the beatification of Alessia Le Clerc, founder of the order of St. Augus- tin, the dispatch eaid. YEP! IT WAS A HORSE Billings, Mont. — Oscar Bjor- gum's tree-climbing horse is hack to earth again. It took the fire department!, a block, and tackle, and three hours' work to do it. Bjorgum said the animal was frightened, tried to jump through a high fork in a cottonwood 'tree and got stuck. None aboard. sis, but the Allies must open a second front in Europe this year if they hope for a quick victory, the Bussians declared today on the second anniversary of Hit- ler's invasion of the Soviet Union. In a special communique broad- cast by the Moscow radio, the Soviet Information Bureau re- viewed the two years of the bloodiest struggle in history, plac- ing Germany's Russian front missing and Russian losses at 4,200,000 in dead and missing. Germany has lost 42,400 tanks, 56,500 guns and 43,000 planes as compared with Russian losses of 30,000 tanks, 35,000 guns and 23,000 planes, said the communique, which was recorded by the Soviet Monitor here. It asserted that the Germans have lost the main part of their first-line divisions and de- scribed Hitler's defeat before Mos- cow \as the decisive event of the Second World War.\ . Hitler's delay in launching his third summer offensive — the 1942 drive was begun on June 11 — and reports that he is moving substan- tial reinforcements into France, have led some observers to predict that he has abandoned hope of knocking the Soviet Union out of the war* U.

Hoyt New Director Of OWI Division Washington — (AP) — Palmer Hoyt, new director of the Office of War Information's (OWI) domestic branch, outlined today a policy of giving the American people \straight information about the war\ without \propagandizing.\ \This means there will be no pamphleteering from this office,\ Hoyt, publisher of the Portland Oregonian said in a statement which augmented a br io f press conference late yesterday. \It also means that this office' will yield to no political pressure, and will serve no political interests.

London — (AP)—Scouting and artillery bombardments in the Kharkov area and light skirm- ishes, artillery exchanges and aerial activity in other sectors marked overnight developments on the Soviet front, the Russian midday communique said today. Otherwise, the situation was in sharp contrast to that of June 22,. 1941, when Hitler sent his armored forces across the Russian frontier to- launch the bloodiest fighting in history. In the Belgorod area, northeast of Kharkov, Russian soldiers pene- trated German positions across the Donets river and returned with prisoners, said the communique, broadcast from Moscow and re- corded by the Soviet Monitor here. Four German planes were shot down by Russian fighters, the communique said. North of Chuguyev, 40 miles southeast of Kharkov, the Rus- sians said their artillery dispersed and partly annihilated about two German companies, destroyed enemy guns and demolished for- tifications.

FDR Congratulates Russia And China Washington — (AP) — As the second anniversary of the Nazi In- vasion of Russia rolled into his- tory today, President. Roosevelt was on record with Premier Stalin that the same spirit of unity and sacrifice necessary for ultimate victory \will animate us in ap- proaching the challenging tasks of peace.\ VThe President sent congratula- tory messages la*st night to Prem- ier Stalin of Russia and Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-Shek of China on the feats of their arms. Senate May Pass Subsidy Measure Washington — (AP) — Possibil- ity of a compromise settlement of the bitter Congressional^ wrangle over subsidies shaped up in the Senate today as administration forces renewed cloakroom efforts to stave off, a floor fight. Speculation was that any agree- ment proposed would, limit the amount and number of subsidies the government could pay out to force down food prices. Such a proposal was offered by Senator Taft (R-Ohio) but support- ers of a projected $2,000,000,000 price rollback program objected that Taft's measure would author- ize the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to spend only $250,000,000 on subsidies in the l next 12 months. Leading Republicans Shun Nomination For President At Midwest Meeting Columbus, O.—(AP)—The 1944 Republican presidental nomination race is rapidly becoming a \don't count me in\ affair. The latest possible entry to \scratch\ himself out of the run- ning is 52-year-old Earl Warren, husky lawyer serving his first term as Governor of California. Life first term Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Warren told reporters during an interlude in the annual governors' confer- They needen't have bothered, chiefs of staff of the army, navy 1 though. The combination was past- j ence that he is not a candidate \*'for and air force as members. l ed on the door. any other office,\ that he does not \hope to be drafted,\ and that he has \a job to do as Governor and I expect to do it.\ His term, like Dewey's does not end until 1946. Thus, Warren, a World War vet- eran and.former attorney general of California, joined De^wey and Senators Taft of Ohio and Vanden- berg of Michigan in expressing a desire to be left out of the 1944 nomination picture, leaving orriy Gov. John W. Bricker, of Ohio, and Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 presi- dential standard bearer, and a few others to announce whether they will run or not. The British attack on Krefeld was one of the heaviest of the aer- ial offensive. The British lost 44 bombers —^ the heaviest for any single attack this year — but the Air Ministry communique which described the raid as \very heavy and concen- trated\ and delivered in \great strength\ indicated the assault ap- proached the 1,000-bomber class. Coast observers said the day- light raiders crossing toward northern France in two waves were fortresses of the United States air force. Krefeld is an important textile and railway center' 10 miles west of the Ruhr and hear the Nether- lands border and is noted for its manufacture of special steels for aircraft armor plate and its out- put of sulphuric acid'for explo- sives. Knox Forecasts Allied Invasion Of Europe Soon Washington—.(AP) — Navy Secretary Knox said today that ^preparations are moving \right along\ for an. Allied invasion of Europe. Knox was asked at a press con- ference for comment on a new Russian insistence an Allied army be thrown onto the Ger- man dominated continent. The Russians said while the Ger- man army has been defeated several times during the past year ajid while the military sit- uation* Is now generally favor- ame to the Allies there can he no victory without a second front. Knox said he would make \no comment at all\ on the subject of a \second front,\ a term that he has repeatedly avoided using. However,, he said that prepara- tions for an attack on Elurope \are going forward right along.\ \Obviously we can't talk in \specific terms,\ the Navy Secre- tary added, \but there has been no cessation of these activities.\ Knox holds and frequently has expressed the idea there are many, fronts in the war and it is erron- eous to call a prospective front in Europe a \second front.\ Knox said he knew of no Jap- anese interference with the move- ment of supplies from the United States to Russia across the Pa- cific. The line to Russia still is func- tioning, he declared, although \whether the Japanese are hold- ing up any of the ships and ex- amining them, I don't know.\ . Asked specifically whether any . pf the ships had^been taken.by_ the Japanese as. prizes of war, Knox said not to his knowledge. NOr d'd he know of any which had-recent- ly been sunk. He recalled \a long time ago,\ one or two of the vessels were lost, the Japanese at that time declaring they had\ been sunk by the United States to create an in- cident. Big Air Victory Scored By Allies Allied Headquarters in Austra- lia—(AP)—American Lightnings swooped down upon a large forma- tion of Japanese Zeros over New Guinea yesterday, destroyed at least 14—and probably 23—and came home without a single plane missing. The 14 Zeros blew up in the air or crashed to the ground in sight of American pilots. \The remaining nine were in flames and losing altitude,\ a com- munique from General MacAr- thur's headquarters said. \Their complete destruction was most probable.\ , Today's communique also told of ground fighting in- New Guinea for the first time in many weeks. Sharp patrol clashes occurred in the Mubo area 12 miles southwest of Salamaua. 400 Nazis Drown In Norwegian.Sla Stockholm—(AP)—Four hundred German soldiers ditoWned June 10 when the 3,000-ton German ship Birka sank off the Norwegian coast near-Trondheim, reports, from Nor- way said today.

There was no infor- mation on what had caused (lie vessel to sink or where it was carrying the troops. gamze Secret Air Army At The German Frontier—(AP) —Reliable non-Nazi quarters, re- ported today Germany has a care- fully guarded reserve air army for use as a defense against invasion wherever it may come. These sources, who cannot be further identified, said this air army has been organized as an in- dependent unit and very probably inchides at least two divisions, which would mean at least 1,500 first line planes. It is in addition to those forces at present \in -ervice\ —one army on the eastern front, another in the west, and a third in the south, it was said. The location of the fourth or \reserve\ air army is secret, ac- cording to the informants, but Al- lied military observers here believe it is being kept inside Germany. •- Pearson Exposed Oil Deal Two weeks ago, Drew Pear- son author \of the Washington Merry-Go-Round, daily feature of The Journal first informed the American public of the de- tails of the Navy's Temarkable -lease, of the Elk, Hills, Gal., oil 'reserve*.

Following Pearson's expose, the Elk Hills deal was bitterly denounced in the Senate by Langer of North Dakota, and hearings were Called by the Pub- lic Lands committee of the House.
