Germans Are Rushing Reinforcements by | Air, Russians Say | Nazis Stiffen Resistance; | Italian Planes Repor:ed | At Front First Time | By the Associated Press. German efforts to blork the| Russian offensive somewhere | short of the old frontier of the Soviet Union have gained strength — evidently from air- borne reinforcements—but, ac-/ cording to dispatches to Moscow from the front today, the Red| Army is still moving forward. These dispatches, however, sig- nificantly related instances of Ger- | man superiority in numbers—the | first such phrase to appear in a considerable time. The conclusion was that with the | fine flying weather of the last few | days the Germans were able to bring up many reserves by air. Many captives reported that this method of transport, enforced by the winter difficulties of movement by land, was being widely used by the Ger- mans. The dispatches’ stress on in- | creased German strength coincided | with disclosure by the German high | command that the Reich's famed | air force, the instrument which pulverized resistance in Belgium, Holland and France, had called on Italian warplanes for help in the battle with Russia. Goering Back From Italy. This latter disclosure coincided | with an announcement that Reichs- | i marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, | chief of the German Air Force, had Just completed a visit to Italy. “In figating yesterday against the Soviet air force, in which the Italian air force took part, 38 enemy planes were shot down or destroyed on the ground,” a bulletin from Adelf Hit- ler’s field headquarters said. It was the first time Italian planes had been mentioned in action on the Soviet front. Whether the Germans are suffer- ing a shortage in planes or pilots was not disclosed, but recent So- viet communiques have emphasized heavy German air losses. Today's Red Army bulletin, for example, reported 38 planes de- stroyed Wednesday against 10 Rus- sian planes missing Superiority Admitted. ‘The first instance of German numerical superiority to appear after a long lapse was a Russian dispatch from an unspecified sector which said that “at one point of the front the enemy. having superi- ority in numbers, strongly pressed upon our detachment.” The two principal Moscow news- papers headlined the German coun- terattack resistance. Tzvestia said: “Fascist occupants try to strength- en themselves on defense lines to halt advance of the Red Army. Our heroic troops successiully repel counterattacks, break resistance. move forward, chase Germans con- | tinuously, ruthlessly exterminate | Hitler's robbers, crush their old re- | serve divisions.” Pravda’s headlines: ! “Glorious troops of Red Army, | surmounting resistance of counter- attacking enemy, continue to move forward, not weakening for single minute blows upon enemy, breaking resistance. * * *” Ordered to Stand Firm. Prisoners from the 35th German Infantry Division told the Red Army that all detachments had received stern orders to defend every vil- lage to the last man. The orders #aid that any German who retreat- ed without orders would be sent before a military tribunal. But de- spite this warning, the prisoners said, there were further retreats. The regular Moscow communique charged that the Germans used civilians as a shicld for a counter- attack in one sector. “ e * * A retreating German infantry unit launched a counter- attack, driving about 30 Soviet citi- zens, women, old men and children, in front of them.” the bulletin said, bui added that autotmatic rifiemen attacked from the flanks and wiped out the Germans without harming the civilians. The Vichy news agency reported | to bed at 9 p.m. and arose at 4 am. | to go to their refuge. where they | Vienna Elementary School. | pounding the Conservation of Paper Every citizen is called upon to see that not a pound of paper is wasted.

Navy Man's Wife Tells 0f Jap Atfack on Samoa Mrs. Alston Richardson, wife of a | Navy electrician’s mate, and her 11- year-old son, Robert, returned to ‘Washington yesterday from Samoa, American island in the Pacific, where they were under fire during the Japanese attack January 11. They are going to stay with Mr.| and - Mrs. George W. Darne of Vienna, Va., who are Mrs. Richard- son’s parents. Mrs. Richardson and her son had been in Samoa for two months when | the island was attacked at 2:30 am. | on Jahuary 11. They crouched in | a refuge. where she said the women and children went, through the at- tack and heard the firing “as orderly as anything.” ®he related that after the outbreak of war, women and children had been sent from possible | places of danger and that they went remained until daylight. | Robert was to start today at the Ex-RefiresentéIi\;e Bbyce Dies in Delaware at 86 By the Associated Press. DOVER, Del., Feb. .—William H. Boyce, 86, former member of Con- gress and before that an associate justice of thé Delaware Supreme | Court, died today. He had been| in poor health for six years. | A native of Laurel, Judge Boyce | began the practice of law at George- town in 1887 and served two terms on the State Supreme Court—1897-| 1909 and 1909-21. | He was elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket in 1923, serving until 1925.

It added that Dnieperopetrovsk, site of a great power dam which the Russians blasted ahead of the Ger- man advance last summer, is “be- coming more and more clearly the direct objective of the Soviet ad- vance.” The Moscow radio reported fight- | ing on the northwestern Russian | front at the approaches of a town | designated only as “V.” All Nazi counterattacks were smashed, hundredsbof soldiers were slain and much booty was captured, | Russian accounts declared. | ‘The Soviet midnight communique | broadcast from Moscow also said | a cavalry unit operating in one| sector of the Kalinin front wiped | out 800 officers and men in seven days of fighting. Equipment Destroyed. This communique reported the destruction along the whole front by the Red air force of seven German armored cars, 250 trucks carrying soldiers and war material, 150 wagons with ammunition, tank | trucks with fuel and seven anti- aircraft machine gun posts. | In addition, two ammunition dumps and one fuel dump were re- ported blown up. At one sector of the western front (the area before Moscow) the communique declared that one Red | Army unit destroyed three regi- | ments of German infantry. Above the Kalinin front, the Kuibyshev radio announced, a bitter battle is raging in the Valdai hills below Leningrad. The radio said the Germans had dug in but the Russian artillery had been| intrenchments for | | several days. BRIDAL PAIR 14-K.

An 11-year-old California boy sent a dollar he had earned cutting lawns. In his spare time, the boy wrote, he has been helping troops at a nearby military post, but “I am not saying what I do when I help the boys, because I believe in keep- ing military secrets.” The son of a marine, the boy wanted his dollar used to help buy an airplane “to bomb the Japs.” | Cap!.fi James Nominated | To Be Rear Admiral President Roosevelt yesterday | nominated Capt.
