 TOLAW STUDENTS
Col. Ernest L. Averill Files Report on That Matter
 Today

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. l3-(UP)- State Selective Service Director Col. Ernest L. Averill said in & special memorandum today:
 "There is nothing in the law, reg ulatioris, or national headquarters memoranda to justify the deferment of law students, students preparing for the teaching profession or gem eral academic, liberal arts, econolIl- ic or business administration st1- dents. :.
 'This headquarters will request reopening of ali student cases where necessary, to secure proper classifi'- cation and adherance to national and state policy. It is desired that all local boards and appeal bords consider all present class 2 cases (occupationa ererment) and where not Justified immediately reclasslfy a- class 1-A or class 7-B. It is Sug- gested that this reconsideration be accomplished at once, so that stu- dents intending to return to their studies ma yhave a definite under- standing of their individual status"
 The new memorandum on student deferment was issued by the state director. because of sudden flood of requests for occupational defer menst for all types of students. In- cluded in the memorandum there is attached copies of nine circulars and memoranda from national headquarters treating on the sub- feet of student deferment.

MAURICE GRIFFIN TRIAL TUESDAY
Charged With Auto HOfni- eide in Causing Death
 of Officer PaImatier

Maurice Griffin. 30, of 14 Middle street, bound over to superior court on charge of automobile homicide, in connection with the death of Traffic Officer John Palmatier last July 20, will appear before Judge John A. Cornell next Tuesday at the fall criminal term of that court.
 Griffin was bound over from Wa terbury municipal court on August 26 under bonds of $1,000, pending his arraignment in the higher tribunal. The accused, a substitute teacher at Wilby high school, is represented by Atty. John s. Mon- agan.
 The death of Palmatier occurred on the night of July 20th, at the corner of Judd and West Main streets. The late police officer was engaged in directing traffic return ing from a fireworks display at the municipal stadium, when he was al- legedly struck by Griffins car.' He suffered extensive injuries, and death was almost instantaneous.
 Coroner Holds Him
 On August il, Griffin was de- clared guilty of "gross and crimNal negligence" in a finding by Coroner william B. Hennessy. The coroner charged that at the time of the fatal accident, Griffin's car was travelling at a rate of speed in ex- cess of the local 25-miles per hour limit. According to Hennessy's finding, the accident might have been avoided If the driver had ex- ercised @ proper lookout and con- trol".
 In addition, 1t was charged, after having struck Palmatier, Griffin failed to come to a halt, and his car did not come to a complete stop un- til 1t had reached point more thau 200 feet away. The accused was also declared at fault for having pulled out of a line of traffic while proceeding east On West Main street, and was in the act of pas sing c car travelling in the inner lane, when his machine came into contact with the deceased.

Germans Drive Ahead
 Upon Eastern Front
They Threaten Kiev, Capital of Ukraine; Further Progress Might Endanger Dneiper Front; Rus'
 sians Fight Desperately
BY JOHN A. PARRIs, JR.

EACSo JstSAA SVAA~SkSSA@SNO~"-
 London, Sept. 13-(UP-A Ger man drive southeast of Gomel, on the eastern front, appears to have made considerable progress and now constituted an extremely grave threat to Kiev, capital of the Ukraine, authoritative sources said today.
 If the drive progressed further, informants said, the whole of the Russian Dnieper river defense line would be endangered.
 Russia has admitted the loss of Chernigov, on the eastern side of the Pripet marshes, to the Ger man attackers.
 News of the new German threat to Kiev came after encouraging reports from the Leningrad front, where Marshall Klementi Voro- shilov was said to have started @ big counter attack about 100 miles south of the city.
 Russian Drive Dangerous
 Experts said it was too early to tell how big or how successful the Russian drive was but if the Rus sians were able to follow through it would threaten to cut off the German rapid troop corps which had pushed near Leningrad from the southeast.
 The Russian drive was started about 100 miles south and south- east of Leningrad, in the Lake H. y,,ay, santnr and aecordinu LO fnilis tary experts 1t presented the pos sibility of development which would materially relieve the German pres- sure on the city.
 There were suggestions In dis patches that the Russians might try a pincers movement which would threaten the Germans south- east of Leningrad with encircle- ment.
 Scant as were details of the Rus sian counter-attacks, experts said 1t might prove that Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb, com manding the northern German n armies, had over-reached himself and dangerously exposed the right flank of the Germans who claim to have "encircled" Leningrad.
 It was believed here that what had started as local Russian counter attack might develop into @ full scale counter offensive, along the Luka south of Leningrad and

Atlantic Fleet Seeks Sub Blamed For Sinking Ship
Tremendous Battle Is Raging Upon Central Sector Of Eastern Front
Most Important Fight of War; Result May Have
 Bearing on Decision
tBy United Press)

A tremendous battle that may be the greatest ana most important of the war ragged on the central sector of the eastern front today, with the Red army claiming major successes.
 Two of Germany's famous tank corps (possibly 10000 men in each corps) and three divisions were re- ported by Moscow to have been smashed in a battle in the Bryansk sector, midway between Moscow and Kiev.
 "A cemetery of tanks" marked the battlefield, where the Russians re-captured 2 Clowns, killed 10000 Germans, destroyed 200 tanks and l35 guns and continued pursuit of the enemy, according to Moscow 
 The intensity and importance of the battle was indicated by dis patches from London, Moscow and Berlin, but there was considerable questions as to whether the Russian claims of victory gave 8 complete picture of the operations on this vital sector.
 300 Miles From Kiev
 The sector involved stretches al- most 300 miles from Kiev through Chernigov on east of Gomel to Bry- arlsk and Roslayl. It was at Gomel that the Germans originally broke through in tremendous battle and struck southeastward toward Cher nigov in 6 neffort to flank the hard pressed Russian army of the Ukraine, take Kiev from the rear and destroy the main defenses of the Don Basin industrial center.
 This drive was stopped by the Russians at Chenigov at that time and the Germans swerved eastward and then northeast toward Bryansk, throwing their spearheads against a wide sector in an attempt to find a weak spot. A break through any where on this sector would not only threaten to flank the Ukraine but also would endanger Moscow from the south.
