THREE AXIS
LAND DRIVES
TURNED BACK
MOSCOW, June 29—(UP) —
Front dispatches today reported
heavy aerial fighting over the
approaches to Leningrad With
German bomber squadrons at
tacking around the clock in an
attempt to exhaust Soviet fight-
er units.
'Nearly 24 hours of daylight
prevail at Leningrad at this sea,,
son. and the Germans were re-
ported taking full advantage of
the light to send wave- after
wave of strongly escorted bomb-
ers against the city.
Most formation,s however,
were being intercepted by
by Soviet fighters some dis-
tance from Leningrad. In
one engagement alone, fight-
ers intercepted 50 bombers
and 15 fighters and shot
down 1!) of them. The fol-
lowing day, seven more en-
emy planes were destroyed.
The Red army hurled back
three small German thrusts in
the Ukraine during the last 21
hour,s, the Soviet high command
reported today, and Russian bom-
bers caused big fires and explo-
sions in an attack on Tainan,
Black Sea port used as a sup-
ply base for the enemy's nar-
rowing Kuban bridgehead.
A special communique said de-
pots, warehouses and troop con-
centrations were attacked at Ta-
inan and at Orsha, west of Smo-
lensk, in the bomber assaulis,
from which alh the Russian
planes returned.
(Axis broadcasts also told of
sizeable Russian troop move-
ments. Paucity of Soviet com-
muniques led London observers
to believe that the Russians ma\
be following their customary
practice of withholding all hints
of significant fighting until pre-
liminary objectives have been
attained.)
