GERMANS DRIVEN BACK
ENEMY RAILWAY JUNCTION BOMBED (Rec. 10 a.m.) London, June 29. The Red Army has driven the Germans back several miles at one point in the Kuban, says Reuter’s Moscow correspondent. Moscow radio reports that last night Soviet long-range aircraft raided the railway junction of Orsha, 75 miles south-west of Smolensk. The N.B.C.’s correspondent in Moscow says the German plan to starve the Soviet into submission appears to have definitely failed. Ever-increasing quantities of food are coming in from the Allies, but a more important factor is the vast expansion of the area sown in the eastern zones, like Kazak, the Urals and Siberia. Sugar is an outstanding example. Four-fifths of the sugargrowing area was lost in the Ukraine, but the new eastern sugar industry
saved« Russia from a sugar famine. — P.A.
