Violent Combat Rages
In Some Sectors; Enemy
Units Destroyed Along
Rivers’ Course.
The counterattacking Red Army
was reported Tuesday night to be
wiping out German bridgeheads
on the east bank of a bitterly con
tested river in the Voronezh sec
tor .apparently the river Don) and
to be repulsing successfully all
further enemy attempts to cross
the stream.
The Germans Tuesday re*orted
their columns had crossed thus riv
er at several places, but Russian
dispatches from the front Wednes
day said landings on the east bank
were being wiped out.
Violent combats still raged
along the river’s course, but light
enemy units which had reached
the east bank were reported de
stroyed and the bulk of the Ger
man forces held on the west bank.
Holding grimly to its new lines
and counterattacking strongly in
some sectors, the Red Army re
ported earlier that it had slowed
the mighty German onslaught
against Voronezh, key link be
tween Russia’s central and south
ern armies.
Red Star, mouthpiece of the
Army, announced “it is with great;
difficulty, but nevertheless our j
troops are holding the pressure of!
the enemy.”
The German claim of the cap- j
ture of Voronezh by reinforced
Nazi troops which Streamed across
the Don River ten miles west of
the city went unconfirmed. The

Cotton Crops Are
Insured Against
War-Related [ Loss
Cotton crops insured against un
avoidable weather, disease and in
sect hazards also will be protect- j
against war-related losses by
the Federal Cro P Insurance Cor
poration ’ S all - ris k insurance con-1
tract, A. M. Thornton state'
supervisor of the FCIC, announc
ed this week.
“The farmer,’’ he said, “will be
compensated for unavoidable los
ses caused by the war, just as he
would be for losses caused by
drouth, insects, plant disease, wind
fire, hail, or winter kill. This pro
tection, however, applies only to
crops covered by the FCIC’s all
risk insurance contract.”
War loss protection, Thornton
added, will guarantee the grower
for the full amount of his
contract—50 per cent or 75 per
cen£ o£ average yield, the
max j mum amounts of coverage he
is guaranteed from usual crop
loss causes.
Approximately 170,000 cotton
farming units are insured this
year.
