Hitler's Summer_ Offen- sive Appears Develop- ing Rapidly.

By Henry C. Could Associated Press Staff rlter

MOSCOW, Juno 13 —(Sa.turday) —(AP)—Soviet armies of the Uk- raine, bolstered by Anglo-American

1' ‘ges of a. second European front,

ave savagely counter-attacked tank-supported German forces ad- vancing on the Kharkov front, the government announced early to- ay.

On a second blazing front, Red defenders of Sevastopol fought stub- bornly yestexday against continuing Nazi assaults and were credited with destruction of 50 German tanks and damage to a dozen others.

The German siege lines drawn taut about the Crimean naval base were blasted heavily by accurate Russian artillery and during yester- day, the Friday midnight communi- que sfid, 10 enemy artillery and mortar batteries were smashed. 1n addition, 1t listed three Nazi infan- try regiments and a squadron of cavalry annihilated.

Although the communique dis- missed the Kharkov front with one brief sentence, the operations there were on a major scale, and with the Germans on the offensive Hit- ler's long-threatened summer cam- paign appeared rapidiy developing.

That still does not furnish n. definite pattern for the "snmme " of- fensive to crush Russia which Hitler has promised his people. Summer does not come in a technical sense, however, until Juno 21, the first an- niversary of the Nazi attack on Russia.

Whether for that reason or merely as a coincidence, there is little doubt that. a double crisis is developing in the two-prnnged German ef- fort to regain the offensive in the East. Nor can it be greatly doubted that the timing of the Molotov visits to London, Washington ‘and Can-
