LIMITED ACTIONS
NOT YET IMPORTANT
Rec. 12.30 p.m. LONDON, June 28. The Germans are fighting desperately to recapture a town on the Kalinin front from which they were driven on June 25. Moscow says that the Germans launched six counter-attacks yesterday, but that all failed. Berlin radio stated that the increased local fighting on the Eastern Front, while it is of fluctuating intensity, has not yet reached major strategic importance.
It added that the fighting at Velikie Luki had died down after several days of fierce encounters. "The repeated enemy attacks obviously do not go beyond the intention to improve the Russian positions in isolated sectors," Berlin radio said, declaring also that the Russians were moving big forces to the southern sector of the front. Moscow radio today said that Germany has nearly 3,000,000 men massed along the front. The radio vvarned that big-scale fighting may begin at any moment. Moscow radio's estimate is nearly 155,000 moro men than Mr. Winston Churchill recently estimated. • According to Moscow radio, guerrillas, in the past two years have killed 300,000 invaders. ,
