tion point southeast of Leningrad between Lake linen and Lake Lado- ga, it was believed here that the Russians are in farily strong posi- tion to resist German attempts to complete the encirclement of that northern metropolis. In other sec- tors of the Leningrad region Soviet counter attacks were in progress.
 There was no new information here on Crimea. It was thought the Russians are continuing to hold firmly in front of Sevastopol and the Kerchenski Straits.
 Each week that passes without new major German offensive a. gainst Moscow is believed to increase the likelehood that the fighting there will become stalemate for the winter. There was some pQssi- bility, it was said, that the Germans already are transferring troops south from around Moscow for a winter campaign on the Don.
 Reports from the Balkans said the Germans have withdrawn so much rolling stock to supply their armies in Russia that railroad Ser- vice has been severely restricted.
 Radio Moscow claimed that the German commandant of the garri- son at Orel, 210 miles south of Mos COW, gave banquet for his officers in a communal restaurant in the past few days. A soviet guerilla band penetrated the city, Showered the restaurant with hand grenades and blazing gasoline bottles, killing 150 of them.
 Rome. Nov. II -- (UP) - An ofl- cial communique said today that Jugoslav terorriStS had hurled three bombs into a public square at Split (Spalato) killing one Italian sol- dier, wounding "A soldiers and 25 civilians.
 The bombs were thrown during 8 concert by an Alpine army band, the communique said.
 Simultaneous with the attack at Split, truck filled with Italian sole diers was machine e-gunned by other JugosIav Communist terroriSts" and some were wounded, though not ser- iouSly.
 The announcement said 15O ar~ rests were made in the Split region, mostly among the Communist eIe- ments originating in other Balkan areas"

Roosevelt said: we know that these men died to save their coun- try from 8 terrible danger of that way"
 Face Danger Again
 we know, because we face that danger once again on this day."
 He recalled that Sergeant York, speaking at the Unknown Soldiers tomb several years ago, told how there were people in the country today who ask the veterans of World War No. 1 What did 1t get you2"
 People who ask that question of Sergeant York and his comrades forgot the one essential fact which every man who looks can see to- day." the president said.
 The president spoke after his mil- itary aides placed a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The day was clear and crisp and some of the audience had been on the hillside two hours before the cere- monies.
 'They forgot that the danger which threatened this country in 1917 was real-and that the sacri- flee of those who died averted that danger" MT. Roosevelt added. Be- cause the danger was overcome, they were unable to remember that dam ger had been present.
 Because our armies were VictOri- ouS they demanded why our armies had fought. Because our freedom was secure they look the security of our freedom for granted and asked why those who died to save it should have died at all"
 Answers Sergeant York
 Then paraphrasing Sgt. Xork's statement '.what did it get you2'' Somewhat scornfully, the President declared:

lost an entire regiment of motorized infantry, 60 tanks, 76 trucks, a mine thrower battery, four armored cars and three antitank guns.
 Regardless of their losses, the Germans were reported still att tempting to push forward in an apparent drive aimed at taking Rostov and carrying to Astrakhan an the Caspian Sea to pave the way for a winter campaign against the Caucasus.
 Intense reconnoitering activities and air operations have been In progress for the past few days be- tween Taganrog and Rostov, it was reported.
 Operations Slowed Up
 Reports from the front indicated that bad weather continues to slow all operations. On the northwest Moscow sector a force of Germans was surrounded by the troops ot Lieutenant General Konstantin RokossovSky near Volokolamski.
 A Soviet communique reported heavy fighting around Tula, 100 miles south of Moscow, but no irl- dication of German gains. British military expertsj believed the att tack may be the initial move in another series of exploratory pushes, seeking 8 "Soft spot" in Russian lines.
 Because of the strength of Soviet positions on the central and north ern Moscow sectors the British ources believed that if another big drive is cade, the Tula sector may be its scene.
 The Tula push was said to have been a typrical German attempt at encirclement which was repulSed by Soviet counter-attacks.
 The possibility that the Germans are preparing for big scale action in the 230-mile front between Khar- kov and Rostov was seen in the apparent Hull in fighting htere. This drive presumably would be directed against Marshal Semyon Timoshen- kos Don river line of defenses, pre- paratory to pushing on to AstrakaIl, on the Caspian Sea, zoo miles east.
 The presence of Timoshenko at V0ronezh, ITS miles northeast of Kharkov, for the anniversary cele- bration of the Soviet revolution, may indicate that he is giving irn- portart attention to preparations to resist attacks in this general area.

 Text of Mayors Speech
 The text of Mayor Scully'S ad- dress follows:
 Today Americans gather throughout this country to com- memorate an Armistice signed on November 11th, 1918-an occasion which ended the first World war. We'll do we remember that that struggle was a war to end all wars and to make the world safe for democracy. The United States of America sacrificed thousands of our soldiers and sailors and spent millions of dollars to bring that war to wh at was then termed successful conclusion. It was the dream of people the world over that never again would any generation of American youth be called upon to pay such an ap- palling price for peace. Never again would warning nations de- prlve themselves of the flower of their manhood and cast upon suc- ceeding generations the terrific burden of paying the gigantic

BOROUGH RIVER
 THREAT TO HEALTH

health department have long urged, are a vital necessity.
 There is no question about the need of a sewage disposal plant for Waterbury," said Dr. Godfrey. If the main part of our sewage emptied into the river along Watertown ave- nue, instead of much farther down. stream, there would have been so many complaints that the city would have been forced by public outcry to build disposal plant. But as it is, fewer people are affected and the complaints aren't numerous enough or loud enough"
 Sewage Disposal Plant
 A sewage disposal plant in Wa terbury would not be of maximum value, however, unless plants were also placed in operation in cities and towns above and below this city on the river, said Dr. Godfrey.
 The sewage problem in the Nau- gatuck, he said, is made more acute by the fact that there is little dilution because the stream is nor mally quite now. If the volume of flow were greater, he holds, dilution of sewage would be much increased and the health menace would be red1ced.
 The Yale doctors, as part of their experiment, set up fly-traps in several areas. They found two flies carrying the infantile paralysis virus. The virus, injected in animals, killed them. They believe that the green bottle-fly and other species, includ- ing the housefly, which feed on manure and sewage, may be prin- cipal carriers.
 Infection By Flies
 Carrying of the infection by flies, they believe, would explain the rapid spread of poliomyelitis, such as marked the epidemics of several years ago.
 According to the Pathfinder Weekly, earlier investigators in several countries had found that the virus of polio" is carriod in sewage, especially in sewage from hospitals.
 The Yale doctors are continuing their experiments. Any further finding placing guilt on dumping of sewage into rivers such as the Naugatuck may lead to action by the state to force cities and towns to build disposal plants. Up to now action has been confined to warn ingS, since orders" by the state have never been enforced.

 The men of France know "what a former victory of freedom against tyranny was worth," the President raid, then called the roll of the na- tions which have fallen under the German war machine.

 we know that it was, in literal truth, to make the world safe for democracy that we took up arms in 1917.
