Built by American engineers, the dam is 200 feet high and was the world's largest hydro-electric plant before the construction of Boulder dam. German war correspondents said the Russians were establishing a shaky defense line along the Dnieper between Dnieperopetrovsk and Kherson, which lies 20 miles above the mouth of the Dnieper. In the battle of Leningrad, Soy. let Markhal Klementi Voroshilov admited that the Germans were attacking the city's approaches and dramatically called on the inhabitants to fight to death.

"Stand firm to the end," he exhorted. "Death to the bloody Fascist German robbers!"

The eention of air-borne troops Indicated that the battle was the same one previously mentioned by the Soviet army newspaper, Red Star, which said Russian counterattacks supported by aerial troops had blasted the Germans out of three defense lines and recaptured live towns in a three-day conflict. Berlin observers said the reported victory indicated the Germans had succeeded in establishing bases for major operations east of the Pinsk marshes, between Smolensk and Kiev, around which their lines previously had sagged dangerously to the west.

Middle SCHOOLS 'BIG BUSINESS' HERE $1,218,000 To Be Spent In City and County This Year To Educate Children. (Continued From Page 1) will get most of the amount they requested. The Mansfield schools last year received $460,871 from the county and the rest of their funds from the state.

The 1940 county allocation included $341,386 for operating expenses and $119,485 for debts. Schools in the county's villages, rural districts, and Shelby received $287,777 from the county real estate tax funds during the past year, A large part of that amount went for debt and interest pay. ment. Only two districts in the county, Sharon and Mifflin townships, had no debts last year. The Sharon district Is the only one that does not draw funds from the school foundation program.

It has a high tax valuation and can operate its schools on a low tax rate without state help, the county auditor's re. cords show. The Sharon schools operated on $16,579 last year. With a big debt and comparatively small tax valuation, the Lexington district had a 10.30 mills tax rate for schools, highest in the county.
