The attack on Kharkov. which the Russians said had already smashed through the first line German defences and vas hammering at the second, is no mere diversionary action to lessen enemy pressure on Kerch but is the real thing. All Soviet accounts emphasized that masses of reserves trained behind the front have gone into action for the first time. In the north also there was a new vigorous Russian campaign for the further relief of Leningrad. SHORTENING UP SEASON Halibut diirTailment Regulations Being Amended at Request of Naval Authorities Pacific Coast halibut boat owners and fishermen, at the request of the Naval authorities have agreed to drop regulations curtailing halibut fishing In Area No. 3 off the Pacific Coast and partly forego them in Area No. 2 The general effect will be to shorten up the fishing season, reaching the quotas as set by the International Fisheries Commission in less time than it would have taken had the normal curtailment been adhered to. At a joint meeting of Prince Rupert halibut boat own ers and fishermen yesterday, It was decided to fall ln line with the new fishing arrangement which has been agreed to by the Seattle and Vancouver fleets. The lay-up time between trips for boats operating In Area No. 3 will be dropped altogether while the quota per man per trip will be increased from 4000 to 4100 pounds. The lay-up time between trips for boats in Area No. 2 will be cut from nine to eight days and the quota increased from 3,000 to 3,100 pounds per man per trip. A Canadian Press message received by the Daily News today from Vancouver gave W. T. Burgess, secretary of the United Fisher-me's Federal Union there, as the authority for the statement that Seattle fishermen had agreed to the change in the voluntary cur-tilment regulations.
