HEROIC SERVICE
PERFORMED BY RUSSIAN WORKERS ON VITAL MURMANSK RAILWAY. Heroic service with little popular recognition is being performed by Russian railway workers who keep open the vital Murmansk railway line, the newspaper “Pravda” said recently. It is the route over which quantities of war materials are transported to the Russian fighting fronts from the United States and England. The newspaper told of a United States Army captain, watching from the window of a car on the muchbattered line, who counted 304 bomb craters in two hours. Enemy land troops as well as air bombers have tried to cut the line, the “Pravda” continued. It' said that “tens of thousands” of selected German troops had been killed at the approaches to Murmansk, Kandalaksha, Louhki and Reboly. But all efforts to capture Kila peninsula have failed, it was pointed out.
