rman Naval Units Presumed Helping xis Aero-Land Offensive on Black Sea
Play
OSCOW, Thursday, May 14—(U.P.)—Russian defenders e Kerch peninsula have fallen back to new positions un-terrific onslaught by German land, sea, and air forces, bating in good order and inflicting “enormous” losses on advancing enemy, the Red army reported today.
1--! For the first time it was revealed
that German naval units—presumably submarines and gunboats stealing eastward through the Black sea—were supporting the axis areo-land offensive. Pitted against them was the powerful Russian Black sea fleet backing up the defenders of eastern Crimea.
The Russians, armed with the deadliest weapons of modern warfare. including triple-threat American tanks, were inflicting terrific German casualties, according to Soviet dispatches.
DECISIVE BATTLE SEEN
(The German high command claimed that "The battle to break through on the Isthmus of Kerch has been decided. It was concluded with the annihilation of enemy forces overrun and encircled there.'’ A communique said the Russians lost more than 40,000 prisoners and 260 planes and added: “Pursuit of the beaten remnants of the enemy in the direction of Kerch continues incessantly.”)
Official Soviet advises were limited to a communique reporting ‘ Nothing of significance on the front during the night,” leaving obscure the extent of the Kerch battle. But independent military sources understood it had developed into a massive test of all arms after the Germans launched a strong offensive coordinated among naval forces, dive bombers, and mechanized units.
OPINION DIVIDED
Moscow opinion was divided as to whether the Germans merely were striving to mop up such strong centers of Soviet resistance in the Crimea as Kerch and Sevastopol. Plus many guerrilla strongholds in the interior, or were bent on outflanking Rostov in a drive for the oil wealth of the Caucasus.
The Soviet air force, painstakingly built up throughout the winter against the spring campaign beginning with the Crimean battle, appeared to begiving blow for blow or better. . Unofficial dispatches, reporting that 2500 Germans had been slain on the Kerch peninsula, said a single enemy air fleet lost 41 of its 50 planes in battle; that the Black sea fleet air arm destroyed more than a score of German planes ^1 _ _i, n I* . in repulsing an attempted raid on
PIOlTlalS r ICUlCl an unidentified city; and that in
r	one Russian attack 34 enemy ve-
hicles loaded with troops were destroyed.
FLEET PARTICIPATES
Russia’s Black sea fleet has joined the battle from its besieged Crimean base at Sevastopol, and German naval units, presumably gunboats and submarines from the Danube, also were reported in action.
Three hundred miles to the north, meanwhile. Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's Red army of the Ukraine began a drive on Kharkov and was reported making headway in a sector so critical that it might divert the Germans from the Kerch front.

FBI •Chief Reports No Axis Sabotage Since Jan. 1940
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13—(U.R)
—FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover said tonight that of the 108 cases of sabotage in the United States, since January, 1940, none was committed by an enemy agent.
Arriving: here on tour of in- j spection, the No. 1 G-man said disgruntled employees and axis sympathizers acting’ on their own initiative were responsible for all j cases of sabotage.
Efficient protective measures, advance surveys of key industries and similar preparations have kept sabotage far below the level of World War I, he said, but “there has been a great deal of espionage.”
Hoover said removal of Japanese from the west coast has “ef- j fected a greater degree of security.”
“The major portion of dangerous aliens has now been apprehended,” he said, “but that does not mean there will not be more searches and arrests.”

Women Serve on SC Council
New Organiaztions Revealed at Banquet in Town, Gown
Surprise announcements of old and new campus organizations came last evening at the annual recognition banquet of the Associated Women Students.
To promote faith and love in the university, and because they best typify the Trojan spirit, Mildred Eberhard announced the selection of eight women to serve on a new All-U council with 12 men. Those women honored by being named to the new council were Jackie Orlander, Constance Kivari, Jean Harris, Ruth Palmer, Hermina Levy, Charlotte Quinn, Barbara Symmes, and Shirley Millikan.
The eight women were chosen by the senior women who wanted to leave something lasting to the university, according to Miss Eberhard.
Shortened in membership to four and the chief justice, next year’s judicial court will act as a counselling system, as announced by Dorothy Hepp, outgoing chief justice. The four members will be Leta-Fern Galentine, Mary Frances Riley. Mary Kay Krysto, and Dorothy Renfro led by Jean Harris.
AWS also announced its formation of a regular and an auxiliary cabinet. Members of the auxiliary body will be those formerly associate members of the regular cabinet. The regular council will be composed of the presidents of organizations .and a publicity chairman.
Barbara Symmes, Jackie Orlander, Lynn Norby, Pat Grover, Ruth Palmer, Shirley Milliken, Editha Finch, Charlotte Quinn, Sylvia Gregg, Nora Paredes and the presidents of Mortar Board and Spooks and Spokes will serve on the regular cabinet next year. The associate council will be composed of Juanita Sayer. Vernice Haden, Leta-Fern Galentine, Barbara Cox, Mary Oliver, Ruth Crippen, Pat Ulery, Margaret Hausman, and Patti Powell.

Engineers to Hear Oil Executive
Speaking as the sixth guest speaker in a series of engineering lectures, Albert C. Rubel, vice-president of the Union Oil company, will tell how petroleum resources are being safeguarded by modem production methods this morning at 11:10, 159 Science.
Rubel, long a leader of the community in the petroleum industry, will also point out rational methods of development and production and at the same time touch upon problems brought about by the needs of the war effort.
Another phase of the petroleum problem expected to be brought out in the address is the question of gasoline rationing. Already motorists along the Atlantic coast
have been restricted to from three to six gallons of gasoline each week, and gas stations in Oregon and Washington have just had their weekly supplies of the vital fuel cut by 50 per cent.
Rubel will discuss the argument that the present shortage lies in the lack of t transportation and not from an actual lack of reserve : supplies of petroleum.

Cigars Are on Davenport
“The odds are 1 to 80 and it had to happen to me,” jestingly lamented Dr. William Davenport as he passed out pairs of cigars to friends this week to celebrate the birth of Linda and Marcia, the latest Davenport additions.
“But I won’t send them back,” he added as he proudly informed listeners that Daven---
port heir No. 1, Linda, tipped the scales at five and one-half pounds, and No. 2 girl, Marcia, is five and three-fourths pounds of bouncing baby.
A virtual baby shower has been going on in 314 Bridge hall ever since the twins’ arrival at the Good Samaritan hospital last Monday. Side by side with Browning, Shelley, and Shakespeare, now rests stacks of literature on “How to Raise Twins,” “Double Feature or ... 32 bottles to be prepared each day.”
Instead of presenting teacher with the proverbial apple, students have literally deluged this English professor with rattles, rubber blocks, and lots of “itsy-bitsy” playthings for the little misses who probably will be raised on the classics anyway.
Dr. Davenport, who has handled classes of 60 or more students, may find his match when the little women wanna play at night. Imagine having to spout sonnets at aesthetic tots!
