The whole picture was one of the greatest wholesale destruction of mechan ized war might in all history'. The special Russian communi que stressed again that the Ger mans were attacking “with large forces of tanks and infantry,” sup ported by swarms of planes. The Germans deprecated the magnitude of the battle in their propaganda broadcasts, although the high command said the fight was extending and “assuming ev en greater violence.” The size of the German advance and its direction was not amplified by the Russians. The fact that the Germans advanced in the Belgo rod sector, however, suggested they' were aiming at Voronezh on the Don and that possibly a crossing had been forced on the Donets on which Belgorod is located. Previous German gains had been limited to a quarter of a mile, an earlier Russian communique is sued at noon said. In the Orel area where the Rus j sians said enemy' attacks were re : pulsed, the German news agency declared the Russians almost j scored a major break-through in ! a fierce attack but were finally thrown back by' a counterattack. It added that "German tank units have not yet been employed on a j large scale.” Tonight the German radio, heard by the Associated Press, broadcast Ia high command announcement, ! not a communique, which said that j the Russians attempted a penetra j tion in the central Donets sector j hut were driven back by artillery, j and that an effort to cross the riv er near Lazyum similiarly was re pulsed. While the Rome radio echoed German propaganda claims that fighting in the Orel area was not a major offensive, the Vichy radio said that on “a wide front of the Kursk salient attacks and counter attacks follow each other. It is dif ficult to give a clear picture from the ever changing situation.” Meanwhile large forces of Rus sian bombers kept pounding Ger man troop concentrations in the Orel-Kursq-Belgorod sector. The Moscow radio reported a large number of tanks, motor vehicles, and artillery batteries were de stroyed or damaged and said the Germans suffered heavy casual ties. Two Soviet planes were reported missing. -V First Fighter Command To Feature Radio Plays In the First Fighter Command's new radio series, “Eyes of the Air Force,” Miss Helen Twelve trees, star of screen and radio, and Ted Husing world famous com mentator will be featured. The first program will be heard over WBT, Charlotte, July 8 at 10:45 p.m., and each Thursday there after at the same time. Highlighting the opening pro gram will be the commanding gen eral of the First Air Force, Major General Ralph Royce. i The series is designed to give the American public an “inside view” of the Aircraft Warning Service, maintained by civilian volunteers and the Army’s coastal defense organization. It will por tray, through dramatized stories, and actual pick-ups at military installations, the vast and efficient network of defenses that guards America. _v._ RESOLUTION ADOPTED A resolution requesting Fed eral aid to help relieve the critical shortage of ice here was adopted by the members of the War Housing committee of the New Hanover defense council Tuesday. The resolution asked that the government either release a number of mechanical refrig erators for sale here or take otiier steps to alleviate the shortage. A number of routine matters were dispatched by the com mittee SENATORS REVOLT AGAINST ROl BACK (Continued from Page One). This is a policy-making body up to now.” Tydings’ proposal was added to Danaher's and it was in this form that the ban was adopted. As it finally stood, there was nothing to interfere with the CCC’s using its funds for payments to stimulate production of needed crops or to prevent the RFC from subsidizing transportation costs (as is now done on movement of petroleum products to the East Coast), but neither agency, nor any other, may pay subsidies sim o push down retail food costs, en the session opened, Ad ministration leaders had been con fident of getting passage of the resolution with the restriction that no more than $525,000,000 might be spent on subsidies in the re mainder of the year. This restric tion. proposed by Senator Taft (R. Onio), was approved by the Senate Banking committee and word cir culated that it was agreeable to the Administration. The meat-but ter-coffee “roll back” is estimated to cost about $400,000,000 a year. The leaders credited George’s speech with swinging the Senate to the new expression against any subsidies. George, chairman of the Senate Finance committee, which with the House Ways and Means com mittee, has to find revenue to meet government expenditures, told his colleagues: “We are definitely heading to ward inflation. The mounting na tional debt, aided by subsidies, may shake faith in the American dollar—and when that time comes, you will know what inflation really means!” Under the rollback system, he said, the Treasury will have to sell more war bonds in order to pay part of the people’s food bill. Additional taxes, he asserted, will have to come for the most part out of the incomes of the persons making $3,000 a year or less, for that represents the bulk of the country’s income producers. Subsidies to encourage produc tion are one thing, George said, and consumers’ subsidies some thing quite different. He said he had seldom seen a course so “in excusable and unwise” as the plan to subsidize coffee when accord ing to the President, imports are increasing to the extent that it soon may be removed from the ration list. Majority Leader Barkley said he had never been particularly fond of the idea of subsidies, but de clared that the life of the CCC was at stake in the pending bill. Senator McClellan (D. - Ark.), who lost a son in the North Afri can theater, told the Senate he could not look returning soldiers in the eye if he supported the rollback subsidy program. “You’ll not be able to defend i a year from now, or even tomor who lost a son in the North Afri can theater, told the Senate he could not look returning soldiers in the eye if he supported the rollback subsidy program. “You’ll not be able to defend it a year from now, or even tomor row,” he said. -v NURSES’ AIDES B/ ,Y NEEDED (Continued from Page One) be met witnout community coop eration.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE PRODUCTION FRONT WORKING TOGETHER 1 GENERAL , MOTORS American enterprise and its time-tested production methods are meeting and fulfilling the most imposing demands ever placed upon the industry of any country TT HAS BEEN our privilege to play an important -*• part in war production—geared with the supply services of the Army and Navy, and with almost 19,000 other producers who have worked with us. Figures show how successful this "partnership” has been. But they do not show the valuable direc tion and cooperation we have had from Army and Navy officials. Nor do they indicate the fine spirit shown by our suppliers and sub-contractors. While 18,735 organizations have shared our big job of war production, there have actually been more than 68,000 such "partnerships” established. For, in many cases, several divisions have gone to the same source, for different types of work. It is interesting to note that nearly three-fourths of the firms which have furnished us parts for war products, employ less than 500 people. Of these more than half employ 100 or less. We have chosen our sub-contractors and suppliers carefully, in order to secure those best qualified for the work at hand. j In this we have had one great advantage: "Sub contracting” is merely a wartime extension of a time-honored General Motors method. We have always dealt with thousands of suppliers of mate rials and parts. And so we have known how to proceed in establishing sources dependable as to both quality and efficiency of performance—not only among FACTS ON GENERAL MOTORS SUB - CONTRACTING Total number of sub-contractor-supplier connections s q c ^ c with GIVI divisions.

It also accounts for cost reductions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. The "partnership” of the Armed Forces, General Motors and the thousands of other businesses in volved-some large, some small—is but one ex ample of cooperative wartime endeavor by the automobile industry. All companies in this mass-production industry have been cooperating with one another—and with organizations not formerly supplying the automo tive industry—in order to utilize all knowledge and , facilities suited to the task.
