Soviet Raid On Orel (Received May 7, 10.20 p.m.) LONDON, May G. A German statement quoted by Vichy radio says that 60 out of 100 Soviet planes which raided Orel aerodrome this afternoon were shot down. Paris radio also reported that Russian artillery fired 20,000 shells during one day of the Kuban offensive.' The commentator described the Russian drive down the railway from Krymskaya as aimed to form a junction with the Russian forces landed north of Novorossisk. The Russians are supplying the latter force by sea because they are unable to use the Tuapse-Novo-rossisk road.
