By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. "a northeast
British coastal city suffered its worst
air raid of the war last night and
early today as the Germans ap-
parently renewed the battle Of
Britain in deadly earnest by attack
ing at least five towns with bombs
and bullets.
In the hardest hit city, casualties
in both killed and wounded were
admittedly heavy. A public shelter
was smashed by a direct hit; many
persons still were trapped in shat
tered buildings, and at least three
buses were wrecked.
(The Germans said Newcastle
on the northeast coast was the
object of their strongest raid0

man-held territory, while offensive
patrols today set fire to a German
supply ship off Gravelines. sank an
anti-aircraft ship and damaged six
others, the Air Ministry reported.
In the heightened night the Ger
man raiders were guided to their
targets by a harvest moon so bright
that in some cases they were able
TO swoop to machine gun the streets
and frefghters at work there.
At least 10 persons were listed as
killed and so injured in a southeast
coast town which the Germans at
tackled in three waves. Homes were
destroyed, some large buildings were
hit, and a meeting hall was wrecked
shortly after gathering had broken
up.
Casualties Heavy.
Shopping districts and residence
sections of the northeast coast town
were riddled by sharp attack, the
second in three nights. Casualties
in both dead and wounded were
admittedly heavy, a number of lives
being lost when direct hit wrecked
a public shelter.

Leningrod Siege
Line Driven Back,
Moscow Asserts
BY the Associated Press.


German siege lines around
Leningrad have been pushed
back l to miles by Red Army
counterattacks, official Russian
reports asserted today after an
earlier claim from the Soviet
that east of Leningrad the Ger
mans had been thrown back 80
miles.
On the Crimean front, however,
German troops were reported by the
Vichy radio to have forced a passage
of the Perekop Isthmus. No authority
was quoted, however, in the broad
cast, heard in New York by C. B. S.
Heavy Russian smashes on the
Leningrad front and in the center
have inflicted more than 5000 Ger
man casualties, the Russian reports
asserted.
New Defense Positions.
The defenders of Russia's second
largest city were said to have won
new positions, easing the German
pressure, by their offensives, which
the Red Army reported also had
established bridgehead on the
south bank Of the River "V."
A dispatch to Red Star, the army
newspaper, did not designate specific
points retaken in the long battle for
Leningrad, but indicated that the
attacks still were continuing.
Forces which crossed the River
w" it said, achieved their goal after
Today battle and earned the
| thanks of the northwest military
command in special order of the
day.
Although the midday commu-
nlque told of heavy blows behind the
German lines, particularly in the
area west Of Smolensk, Red Star
said there had been no significant
changes in the situation either in
the center or the south.
Wedge In South Repelled.

ed German initiative in the CEN

disclosed point.
Defense Of the Black Sea port of
Odessa, Russia's other great be-
leaguered city, has been strength

pushed back the siege lines there

The Berlin radio asserted that
Nazi troops had occupied Czarist
palaces southwest of Leningrad-
presumably at Tsarskoye Selo, the

the city.
A British broadcast said the Rus
slams had recaptured Strelna, 20
miles west of Leningrad: hurled the

Lake Ladoga from Kolpino, and re-
established communica tions between

Budget Recasting Demanded.

Labor party, under the leadership
of Mr.. Curtin, had demanded re-
casting of the budget to insure a
more equitable distribution of the
national burden"
Mr.. Curtin. speaking yesterday in
the House, attacked proposed levies
against small incomes and the pro-
posal to defer until after the war
payment of a shilling -a-day increase
in the pay of Australian soldiers.
A 10-hour debate preceded the
final vote, during which Mr.. Fadden
and Mr.. Coles shouted at each
other across the floor.
Mr.. Coles declared the govern
ment was unable to command a

was in an unworkable position, while
Mr.. Fadden retorted that Mr.. Coles
was motivated by a desire to get

Australian Cabinet
Resigns on Censure;;
Labor Gets Reins
Curtin Is Called to Form
Government After Fodder
Administration Quits
BY the Associated Press.

CANBERRA, Oct. 3.-Labor
Leader John Curtin accepted
commission to form new Australian
government today shortly after
Prime Minister Arthur w. Fadden
rendered his cabinets resignation
following defeat on a motion re-
garded by the government as one
of confidence.
Mr.. Curtin, 56-year-old former
timber worker, announced he would
select a cabinet Monday. He has
been leader OF the opposition since
1885.
Mr.. Fadden submitted his cabi-
nets resignation to the Governor
General, Lord Gowrie, soon after
being defeated on the confidence
motion, So to 33. Lord Gowrie then
summoned Mr.. Curtin. Parliament
recessed until October to await
developments.
Will Bid for Opposition Aid.
Mr.. Curtin said a labor govern
ment would carry on the war
whole-heartedly."
The war involves the interests Of
labor more than those of any other
class" he said.
He added that he would ask the
opposition to join the War Council
when his government took Office.
The governments setback came on
Labor motion to reduce the ad-
ministration budget by the nominal
sum OF ! pound sterling. Mr.. Fad
den previously had announced he
would regard passage Of the motion
as vote of censure.
The Labor victory was assured
when A. w. Coles, an Independent,
withdrew his support from the gov
ernment, thus depriving it OF the
one-vote majority it has held in
the House through combination
of the United Australia and Coun-
try parties.
The other lone Independent, Alex
ander Wilson, also voted with Labor.
Saved Cabinet Last Week.
Mr.. Coles saved the government
from a vote of censure only last
week, when he supported 1t on a
motion relating to a secret fund
created to combat subversive activ-
tiles in Australia.
A former Lord Mayor of Mel
bourne, Mr.. Coles quit the United
Australia party after the contro-
versy which resulted in Robert G..
Menzies' resignation as Prime Min
lister on August %.
That controversy grew out of the
Labor party's opposition to a pro-
posal that Mr.. Menzies go to Lon
don to be available for consultation
with the British war cabinet.
The Labor party earlier had re-
jected an offer from Mr.. Menzies
for a national government giving
it equal representation in the cab
| met.
