 The United Press Bureau in Moscow, asked to check reports that parachutists had been used in the Crimea fighting, replied: "noth- ing is known here. No official re-. ports from Moscow. Reference by British BroadcaSting Company to Moscow spokesman mystifying."
 Moscow dispatches, however, told of fierce fighting around Lenin- grad and Odessa and In the Star aya Russia sector, south of Lake linen, where the Russians have been pressing forward in the Nov- gorod sector in an effort to draw off the enemy attack on Lenin- grad.
 According to the Red Star, tho Russians scored an important vic- tory against picked German troops including crack storm trooper division in the Lake 1lnen fighting.
 Savage Fighting
 Another dispatch to the Red Star said that savage fighting con- tinued outside Leningrad, with the Germans desperately trying to break through Into the city but un- able to smash Russian resistance"
 The Russians are holding the In- itative in various sectors around Leningrad and have "decimated" some enemy units, including Q Hamburg regiment of the 2oth Ger man division. A concentration of 10 enemy tanks was broken up in one attack, the dispatches said, and in another the Russians "dislodged the enemy from 0 vital point which the Germans had intended to use as . spring board in their final thrust on the city"
 Dispatches from Rome, tending to support reports from other cap- itals that the Italians were facing Q grave winter, said that on Prem- fer Benito Mussolinis prosopal bread rationing had been ordered for Oct. l.

charges that income taxes owed by Leary for the years 1888 through 1887 are unpaid. Liens have been filed against property belonging to him, and civil action to recover is pending.
 The Federal Bureau of 1nvestiga- ton Is not participating in the search, J. T. Madigan, agent in charge of the New Haven once, yesterday said. The ?. 3. I. has no jurisdiction over cases incolving conspiracy to defraud, and is con- cerned only with charges such as Kidnapping, burglary and statutory sex offenses.
 Courant Writer gmashes Story
 William J. Clew of the Hartford Courant, denying that apprehension of Leary was imminent, wrote in this mornings Courant, Daniel j. Leary iS no nearer capture today than he was several months ego. Early this year officers believed they were on his track but the trail has been cold since June"
 Relative to reports that e secret bank account from which Leary was drawing funds had been unearthed, Clew says, Although there is rea- son to believe that before he left Waterbury Leary arranged to ob- tain funds, no secret bank account in his name has been uncovered"
 Alcorn to Oppose
 Clew also states, in connection with the recent petitions for par- dons filed by three Of tho men serv. ing terms in state prison: "The fact that Leary is still Q fugitive is not going to help any members of the group when they come up for par- dons. Carl D. olsen, the former Waterbury banker, Thomas J. Elem. Ing, former street superintendent h that city and John s. Johnston, New York associate of Leary, will ask the Board of Pardons in November for their freedom, but States Attor- ney Hugh M. Alcorn will oppose the petitionS".

The question of whether it Is proper for a man In public life to hold an important governmental post while at the same time con- tinuing as . ranking party official is one that has been long debated. A recent case of national interest was that of James A. Farley, who remained as Democratic national chairman after he had been ap- pointed Postmaster General. There are many other instances, so Mir. Mccarthy can claim a precedent, Rt least.
 His case was thrown into bOlder relief when his aide, J. Walter Darley, resigned as secretary of the state central committee as soon as he was appointed deputy commissioner of motor vehicles.
 The decision Is n hard one for MT. Mccarthy to make. An lm- p0rtant state campaign is com Ing up next year and naturally he wants to have the party Organl- Eation well under control to work for the reelection of Gov. Hurley. And there is on the scene at the moment no single strong figure to whom MT. Mccarthy could turn over the chairmanship with full confidence that 1t would be handled ably.
 It's . tough nut for John to crack.

 Speak With Deeds
 since the conclusion of the alli- ance, the three nations have spoken to the world less with great words than with great deeds, audacious decisions and the spirit of sacrifice This language has had greated force of attraction than the empty prom ises of the Auglo- -SaxonS.
 They have again vainly inundat- ed the world with Q vocabulary which no longer decelves other na- tons regarding their call. Even the invasion of Syria and Iran and the Roosevelt Churchill declaration ot spiritual bankruptcy have been use- less because the world Is already convinced of the brittleness oi Angelo-Saxon ideals, conceptions oi righteousness and egoiSm of interests which they are trying to hide behind the slogan of defense of Democratic liberty.
 "T'he Anglo-s -saxons have gained only one ally, Bolshevist Russia, who Is bent on the annihilation ot all religious ard national colture The destruction of Russian Bolshe- visln is essential to European peace"
 To observers, Japan's part of the observance of the anniversary ap- peared unenthusiastic. Toyoda' $ statement was regarded as luke warm, and the government had for bidden private observances by na- tionaliSts elements. Only . very few Germans and Italian flags were to be seen, though many Japanese flags were flown, and squadronS of army bombing planes flew over Tokyo, apparently as part of tSIe observance.

 in Passing

Crumbling in state Democratic ranks is giving a headache these days to State Chairman John T.. Mccarthy. Part of it comes from usual sources = which feel they didn't fare well enough in the distribution of patronage = but more Is heard among groups which ordinarily aren't "agin" everything the leaders do.
 Not only has John got many instances of dissatisfaction and incipient revolt to contend with but he also finds himself personally in the middle of a controversy that promises to keep up indefinitely, Many Democrats are joining with Republicans in demanding that MT. Mccarthy resigns as state chair man If he continues to hold his post as state motor vehicles com missioner. Several newspapers have been campaigning editorially for his withdrawal from the political position.

The Republicans, In arriving at what is described as Q ''harmOn- Ao1s settlement of their differences, do net appear to have strengthen ed themselves very greatly.

It is engaged in the tedious detail work of getting new voters registered, vhecking ab- sentee ballot applications and get- ting itS machinery oiled for elec- ton day, The work Is being done quietly but apparently efficiently, and party leaders feel no great reason for worry about the cam- paign unless overconhdence results in e lack of enthusiasm and effort.
