(UP) Five hun dred and twenty soviet long-range bombers, the largest Russian air fleet ever sent against a single ob jective, turned the German-held bastion of Orel on the south-central front into a mass of flames Thursday night, it was announced . today. , Returning pilots reported that fires were visible for 62 miles. Railway trains, munitions depots and fuel dumps were hit with de molition bombs and terrific explo sions were observed, a special soviet communique said. Only one plane was lost. Orel was the only German anchor point on the southern front to hold in the face of the big Russian winter offensive. Red army troops are on three sides of the city and its only communication with the remainder of German-occupied territory is over a railroad running westward to Bry ansk. The Orel raid provided a Russian answer to the five mass raids direct ed by 500 German planes against Kursk Wednesday. In marked con trast to the Russian loss of only one plane over Orel, 162 German planes were shot down during the Kursk attacks. In land fighting, Russian troops seized a fortified height on the Smolensk front today after over wheming the enemy's defense, the mid-day communique reported. Pris oners and booty were taken. (A German broadcast said the Russians had abandoned temporar ily their attacks on the axis bridge head in the northwest Caucasus after losing 120 tanks and 104 planes in three days without gaining any ground. The broadcast added how ever, that the Russians were rushing up reinforcements to renew their assault.) Need For More Bono's Newark, New Jersey: By the end of 1943, the average American fami ly should be investing approximate ly 25 cents of every dollar income in War Bonds, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told New Jersey's war finance lead ers here today, during a luncheon at which plans were laid for New Jersey's new simplified bond selling organization. The New Jersey group is the first in the United States to reorganize since Mr. Mor genthau's announcement last week that state bond organizations were to be "streamlined and amplified in order to concentrate on individuals and to sell bonds to a still greater number of people," "Of the 45 billions still necessary to complete our war financing needs for 1943, Mr. Morgenthau told the New Jersey . group, "at least 18 billions, or almost 25 per cent of the national income for the re mainder of the year, should come from purchases of bonds by indi viduals." From those workers earning $1,000 to $5,000 net, who will have seven-eighths of all the cur rent available individual savings, 25 cents of each dollar is not too much to "expect. In fact they should and must invest more if our goal is to be met. "But getting this money is a big order. To do the Job will require hard work on the part of every one. Our volunteers will have to work even harder than they did in the successful Second War Loan drive. And we can get this job done only if every state sets up its continuing organization promptly and goes to work enthusiastically with a real ization of the importance of the task we are undertaking. In this, the New Jersey group is setting an example," War Labor Board Insist Miners Resume Work Necessary Before Negotiations Start Labor States Order to Work Good Only Two Weeks.
