 GIVEN BODY BLOW

e5 YOUTHS HAD SAD DEPARTURE Old CheerfuIness Absent Today; They Are Gone
 for 2H Years

Friends, relatives and members of local organizations turned out in large numbers this morning to wit ness one of the most melancholy farewells rendered departing draf- tees in some time. The presence of the Mattauck Drum Corps failed to stimulate even a semblance of gaiety among the 65 youths, sched- uled now to serve for two and one half years, instead of the previous one-year tenure.
 Parents and closest of kin were visibly affected by the leave-taking, as they milled about the platform exchanging farewells, and train-men were compelled several times to warn them not to gather too near the train. At 7:55, when the con- tingent pulled out of the station bound for the Hartford induction center, the buoyancy of hand-wav- ing that had characterized other departures was painfully absent.
 Speakers at the farewell were Mayor Vincent A. Scully and Fran cis w. Orencole, chairman of the servicemer's committee, who also distributed khaki kits among the men, containing articles for use in training camps.
 Keep in Contact
 Mayor Scully urged both the boys and their parents to maintain con- stant contact with each other by letter.
 Gifts were distributed by Mrs. Christine Vallett of Florio post, Italian-American World War Veter- ans, Miss Margaret Dillon of the American Legion auxiliary and Mrs. John Brusis of the Lithuanian Le- zion. Religious tokens were pre- sented by Patrick Wallace, Grand Knight of Sheridan Council, Knights of Columbus. The Mattatuck Drum Corps endeavored to enliven the oc- casion by playing several musical selections.
 A detail of five Waterbury police was present, headed by Captain William Dugan, and including Ser geant Patrick O'Rourke, Patrolmen Daniel Mecca, Joseph Norton and Moore.

 Confronted by the conflicting stories of his cousin Leona Ellen Cunningham, IA. and Ida A. Price, IS, sob-wracked Herbert H. Cox, Jr., reputedly told County Attorney AL bert Knudsen:

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editorl

tUn1ted Press kOrelgn News EultOr)
 German armies were reported pushing almost 30 miles southeast of Moscow today as lome guards and the Red army fought against diminished enemy pressure on direct approaches to the Soviet capital.
 Counter attacks by the Russians in the Orel sector, 210 mics south west of Moscow, were said by radio Moscow to have exhausted the NaZi drive, although it was acknowledged that ground had been yielded on other fronts in great semi-circle around the capital. A Vichy radio broadcast reported that the Ger mans were as close as 37 miles to Moscow.
 The Russian radio reports en- phasized front line dispatches say ing that the Germans had suffered enormous casualties, but Berlin in- dicated that the main objective was encirclement rather than continued direct assault on the defenders.
 The drive toward Ryashek was part of the German effort to sweep around Moscow from both north and south and cut off withdrawal east ward, where displomatic missions and some Russian government offices already have moved to a city be- 'ieved to be on the east bank of the Volga. London understood that early reports that this city was KaZan were incorrect.

Claims that a change in the Democratic party rules voted at last years state convention empowers the state central committee to nom- mate a candidate for Congress to succeed Congressman J. Joseph Smith were under study by party leaders this afternoon. The claims, if substantiated, would mean that tic nominee would be chosen by the state committee rather than by a fifth district convention.
 This interpretation of the rule voted last year will be discussed at a meeting of the advisory council of the state central committee tonight at Hartford The council session will be the first in many months.

BY H. o. THOMPSON ,ited Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Oct. l7 = (UP0 = First reaction today to selection of General Hideki Tojo to form a new Japanese cabinet was relief but diplomats cautioned against jump Ing to conclusions before the make up of his cabinet is known.
 Tojo was regarded here as among the more conservative of the ag- gressive nationalist group, and ob- servers believed a less favorable choice, in the eyes of the United States, could have been made.
 There was only guarded unofh- cial comment on Tojo's selection, all sources contending that speculation on future Japanese policy must await the selection of other cabinet officers-especially the foreign min Ister.
 Officials have made no secret of their concern over the fall of Prince
