BOMBING BY SOVIET
RAILAVAY JUNCTIONS HIT Reed. 1 p.m. LONDON, May 7. Moscow radio reports that longrange Soviet bombers on Wednesday night raided railway junctions at Dnepropetrovsk, Kremenchug and Bryans'k, starting large fires. The Paris radio reports that Russian artillery fired 20,000 shells during one day of the Kuban offensive. A commentator described the Russian drive down the railway from Krymsk as aimed at forming a junction with the Russian forces which have landed north of Novorossisk. The Russians are supplying the latter force by sea because they are not able to use the Tuapse-Novoros-sisk road. A German statement quoted by the Vichy radio says that 69 out of over 100 Soviet planes which raided Orel aerodrome, on the central front, this afternoon, were shot down.
