 There were hints Of "new oper- ations" on the central front, and intirnations that the southern end of the German crescent shaped line was making great progress.

 Opponents plan to ask that Gen. eral Robert E. Wood, chairman of the America First Committee: John T. Flynn, economist and writer who is a member of that group, and former Ambassador to Belgium John Cudahy be called as witnesses.
 Committee Chairman Tom Con- I1ally, D., Tex, is understood to have assured house leaders that he would not attempt to enlarge the scope of the bill, through @ senate amendment, to include a combat zone repealer. Informed sources however, said that this issue will be submitted in a separate bill soon after passage of the armed sl1ip bill.
 Opponents of administration for- eign policy regard the combat zone provision as more important than the arzning of merchantmen, and for this reason decided to save their big fight for it.

 During the first nine months of i941 there were PAT fatal traffic ac. cidents reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles, according to the report released by the commissioner, as compared with 207 for the same period in l040. This represents an increase of l9.3Sc. Forty -seven more persons were killed this year as of September 30, an increase of 2l%. Occupant deaths showed an increase of 22.19S and pedestrians, 234%.
 In Waterbury nine pedestrians have met their death since January 1.
 More Cars in Service
 with more cars registered and more operators licensed each month" Commissioner Mccarthy said, it seems overly optimistic to expect that the last three months of the year, always a hazardous pe- riod for trafiic, will develop a safer record than the preceding months this year. Of course there will be less recreational or pleasure driving during this period than during the summer months, but increased haZ- ards more than offset decreased mileage"
 The commissioner stated that his predictions were based or figures furnished by the departments Sta- tistician. During the calendar year of l940 the traffic death toll was 339. As of October 1 this year there has been an increase of 2ISo. As- suming the same increase continues, the 194i total will be 40 cases. It means that, instead of ll6 per- sons killed during the accident prone months of October, Novenl- Der, and December there will be l40 sacrificed to careless walking and motor vehicle operation.
 Even assuming that the improb- able comes to pass" concluded the commissioner in his comment on the traf1ic fatality situation, land that we do not kill any more dur ing these months than we did last ySeAA AO oVAAA AA4CuAAo e VObnA &0A -bAbAo year of 387, difference of 48 cases or an increase over last year of l4S. There is no reason for such optimism, however. It would in. volve complete reversal of present. day operating carelesSneSs."
 Highest In Years
 Commissioner Mccarthy emphas- ized that lack of control of motor vehicle trafIic was to be noticed last year when 20,76l reportable traffic accidents were recorded the high est total since 1929. In 1929 . "fe- portable accident" became one in- volving property damage Of $25 or more rather than $i0, thus auto- matically eliminating thousands og mishapS as "reportable."
 Last years figures were the warning sign for l94l," the com missioner said. Tt was emphasized then and we can repeat again that the continuation of the same driv- ing weaknesses next year will Ie- suit in another costly year In lives, limbs, and dollars"
