Hartford, Conn, June 24-(UP)-- State Labor Commissioner Cor nellus J. Danaher said today that Connecticut industries would need at least 50,O0O new workers by Nov. i, although only about 25,00C would be required for defense projects.

 Berlin, June 2t-(up)-The Ger man armies of the east were re- ported today to have thrust deep into Soviet territory while the Nazi Luftwaffe blasted the Red army's rear communications and air bases.
 The German high command has not yet mentioned any specific places and speculation on the de- tails of the big German push is for bidden. However, 1t is reported un- officially' that the wehrmacht has cracked through Red defenses and is rumbling ahead into Soviet ter ritory.
 The high commands only State- ment, in a communiQue dated from Adolf Hitler's eastern front head- quarters, was that the attack is progressing with great success" acc cording to plan.
 According to the reports of the DNB official news agency and Sol- dier-reporterS of the propaganda company, Soviet air losses are con- tinuing at o terrific rate as the Luftwaffe pounds their planes on the ground and shoots them down in major air combats.
 Areas Hit Hardest
 The DNB and propaganda com pany reports indicate that major NaEi pushes are being made in these areas:
 l. Across the East Prussian from tier into Lithuania where 1t is re- ported here a big anti-Russian re- volt has broken out.
 2. A drive from the southern tip of East Prussia at the city of Grodno.
 3. Across the river Bug between Ostrov and Brest-Litovsk.
 {. Against the fortress of Brest- | Litovsk (admitted by the Russian high command to have fallen to Maxi attack.
 5. North and east through BeSs- arabia in the direction of the for mer Soviet-Rumanian frontier.
 The official news agency asserted that a German submarine sank Russian submarine off Windau, on the Latvian coast, yesterday after | a short fight.
 A Russian destroyer was sunk by | a German mine in the eastern Bal tic, 1t was said.
 It was admitted that weak British air forces had attacked western Germany during the night and that unspeclfled areas had been raided by weakest" Russian air forces.

 Washington, June 24-(UP)-The war department is expected to ask Congress soon for legislation retain ing some selectees beyond their orie- year training period and expanding the army by another 100000 men to a total of almost 100000.
 The proposals were revealed by Gen. George 0. Marshall, chief of staff, in 6 press conference. Previ- cusly, the war department had rec commended to President Roosevelt that the national guard be retained in federal service after one years training.
 Congress would have to authorize any extension of service by either the selectees or national guard.
 Marshall said 1t would be neces- sary to hold some selectees, prob- ably limited number. because they might be stationed in Alaska or other remote places. or might be needed in specialized units.
 we want the selectees to keep coming in but it will depend upon the actual situation at the time," he said. "If we don't need them, we will send them home, but, in all events, we will need legislation"
 Over 1O0,000 Increase
 Marshall said the army increase would run "slightly'" more than 100000 men. who are needed to i'll gaps created by assignment of men to the Atlantic bases leased from Great Britain and by projected for- nation of more anti-tank units.
 The army's goal previously had been l,zie.OO0 enlisted men by July 1. These with 132.O0O officers. the recently authorized i6O, O,OOO-man ex- pansiOn for the air corps, and the projected i00,00O-man increase would bring the total near l.e0O.0OO.

 London, tune 2S-CUP)-T Towns along the Channel coast trembled
 today under the concussion Of gi- gantic explosions from the FreiCh invasion coast as Royal Air Force planes resumed an offensive against Germany and German occupied areas which now seemed almost continuous day and night.
 The explosions started at dawn, just as a great fleet of long range bombing planes, including new four r-motored craft. returned to home bases after having blasted western and northwestern Germany during the night.
 Hours later, towns on the south east coast were still shaking from the bombs exploded on the French side of the channel,
 British planes had attacked the invasion coast almost continuously yesterday and last night, and, in their great sweeps over northern France, had shot down 20 chal- German planes with the loss or only nve or thelr own num- Der.
 Few German Planes
 German planes which once came by the hundred to strew destruc- ton and death over Britain, were little in evidence.
 A few of them tried to bomb a British convoy of the coast dur ing the night but the bombs struck in the sea and the ships escaped without damage.
 The main German retaliation came in the form of a lombard ment. starting shortly after mid- night, by the German long range guns along the French coast.
 They had hardly started firing when fleet of British planes dart cd over the channel. A series of explosions was heard in the vicin- lty of the batteries in the Cape 0riz Neg area and the bcmbard-

JAPAN TO HIT AT SIBERIA F
 RUSSIA LOSES Japanese VIII Not Act Until Nazis, Soviets Have
 Settled Warfare CONFLICT WOULD
 BE NEARER U. s. Russian Defeat to Mean Loss of War for Britain
 Is Belief of Some
BY LYLE Q. WILSON Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)

Washington, June 24.-- (UP)-Japan may invade Siberia if Russia collapSes under Germany's attack, well informed quarters pre- dicted today. These sources said Japan would take no definite position until the test of Nazi . Communist strength becomes decisive, and that meanwhile practically all danger of Japanese movement against the Dutch East Indies or Singapore had vanished.
 The Russo German clash brought the war technically almost within cannon shot of the western hcmi- sphere. It is less than 90 miles from the tip of Alaska to the tip oe Si' beria Just south of the Arctic Circle; But for all practical purposes the war scarcely touches that part Of the Soviet Union tying near the United States.
 A Japanese sortle into Siberia would bring the conflict appreciably nearer the United states in the Pa cific, although Japan, presumably, would strike ct Vladivostok, which lies 800 miles south of the point where Alaska and Asia almost touch.
 Washington Alert
 Washington is alert to any in. dication of Japan's intentions. The word "appeasement" has been used scornfuily since the signing of the Munich accord, but the United States at least seems to hope to mol. lify Japan by permitting shipments of oil and materials. It is recalled that in his May 27 fireside chat, President Roosevelt avoided refer ence to Japan while lambasting the other Axis partners.

 London, June 24.-(UP)-- Great Britain and Soviet Russia are agreed on mutual aid to fight Nazl Germany to a finish, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden announced amid cheers to the House of Commons today. Increas- ing material and moral aid from America to ''oyerwhelm and crush NaN power" has been indicattd anew, Eden continued. while Finland has given aSsur. anoeS that she intends to maintain a purely defensive position, and Turkey again has promised that her treaty with Great Britain is in- tact,
 Endorsing the statement of United States policy as outlined by UnderSecretary of State sumner Welles. Eden rafarraa t0 the return to London of Unitd States Aiias bassador John Winant in these words:
 "The past few days-indeed, tho past few hours-have brought fresh indications and assurances of con- tmued and increasing support from our American friends, both material and moral, the volume of which will overwhelm resistance and crush the Maxi power"
 Eden backed up Welies' statement that any defense against Hitlerisin will hasten tho NaEi Fuehrers downfall.
 "Mr. Winant brought us also c renewed expression of the determin. ation of his great country to aid us in the part to which we as Q na- nation are dedicated the one aim, the one irTevocable purpose to which the prime minister two nights ago pledges us once again. the destruction of fiitlerism and the Nasi regime" Eden said.
 Polish Allies Get Sympathy
 "At a time like this our thoughts 20 out in heartfelt sympathy to our Polish allies. Once again their soil Is Q battlefield. Once again their people suffer for no fault of their own, The Polish people have had a hard history. By their courage in the time of unparalleled ordeal. they have earned and they will re. deem thir frdon. That rmains aS our pledge"
 The Polish government in exile previously had offered to forget its conflit with the Soviets if Russia wound formally abandon the 1889 friendship treaty with Germany and restore the pre.war Polish frontier
 Eden's references to Winant were cheerd by tn chamber. Soviet Am bassador Ivan Maisky was in the diplomatic gallery.
