POLICE BOARD
 MEETS TODAY
No Appointments, PrOmo- tiOns Will Be Made at
 This Session

No appointments or promotions will be made at today's meeting of the Board of Police Commission CTS which is scheduled to be held at 4 o'clock in the city hall.
 Chairman William Verriker said this noon that the date had been moved from Wednesday so that several members of the police board may attend the annual outing of the Connecticut Civil Engineering society which will be held tomor- row.
 Chairman Verriker added that as far as he knows only routine busi- ness will be transacted by the po- lice commissioners this afternoon.
 The Fire Board Is slated to meet tomorrow afternoon and Chairman Finton J. Phelan stated this noon that no action is contemplated for the several vacancies, now existing in the fire department. He said that no promotions or appointments will be made tomorrow.
 The fire department has two cap- taincy posts and one private which it expects to fill, probably the lat- ter part of this month. The pro- motion of two lieutenaats to the vacant positions of captain may also necessitate the advancing of privates to the rank of Ieuten- ants. This move will then create three openings in the fire depart nnent which will have to be filled by appointment of three new fire men to the force.

 Hearing

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 5-(UPy- The State Public Utilities commits sion today set Sept. IS as the date for a hearing on whether the action of the commission in raising the rates of the New Haven Water Go. by IS per cent in 1889 was legal.

 Mayor Murphy said the hearing at that time was secret" and that the city and the public had no chance to discuss the merits of the requested increase. He asked the commission to declare the IS per cent increase "void."
 John Collins, commission attor- ney, said there was never any doubt in my mind that the increase in rates was unlawful. And I 50 expressed myself to the lawyer member of the commission with all the force I could command"

Russians under General Grlgori M. Stern, the Russian hero of the Rus so-Finnish war, were massing in the Karelian Isthmus of Finland for a big scale offensive.
 AS regards the Smolensk sector, where the Germans have made two of their greatest and most costly attacks of the war, authoritative British sources said it was now definite that the Russians h d stopped the Nazi war machine there.
 It was indicated that the Ger mans, for the moment, at least, had abandoned their frontal at tack in the Smolensk region, in- formants said.
 Third Great Attack
 So far, informants said, 1t was uncertain whether the Germans would reorganize for a third great attack in the Smolensk sector.
 They were driving anew toward Kiev and a Russian conmunique showed an attack toward the Mos COW Leningrad railroad east of Porkhov-Nevel line in the direc- tion of Kholm.
 Informants were unable to sug- gest as yet whether these drives were alternatives to a third Smol- ensk drive or were merely preIim- mary to one.
 The prospect of 8 Russian drive in the Karehan Isthmus was 8 new development.
 It was reported that the Rus sians were facing 100000 Films in the Isthmus, where Stern, put in command in the Russo Finnish war of 1939-1940, after others had failed, broke the Mannerheim line in two months.
 Advices received here said the Russians had about 100000 men in all on the Finnish front against 300, 900 Films and 100000 Germans.

TAX MEASURE TO ! YIELD SAME SUM
Will Come Back to Senate
 With Some Changes, But Not in Amount
By JAMES R. sHEPLEY fUnited Press Stan Correspondent)

Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 5-(UP)- Chair man Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the Senate finance committee, pre- dicted today that the tax bill will be restored in the Senate to it's orig inal $S,539, ,0OO, 900 yield through low CT exemptions and higher rates on individual incomes.
 The House passed it yesterday after reducing its prospective yield to $3,206, 200 900, by eliminating the provision that would have required a husband and wife to file a joint income return which had been pro- posed by the ways and means com mittee. Strong administratio pres sure and the influence of represen- tativeS from states with community property laws were responsible.
 George, whose committee starts considering the bill tomorrow, did not say by how much he thought exemption should be lowered or how high rates should be set. AS passed by the House, the bill provided for surtaxes starting at five per cent on the first taxable dollar, and for exemptions of $500 for single per- sons, $2O0O for married couples and $4OO for each child. He did say, however, that he felt the four per cent normal tax rate should be re- duced from the low-income taxpay- CTS who would be reached by lower ing the exemptions.
 Joint Return Gone
 He did not believe his committee would attempt to restore the man. datory joint return provision. It had been estimated that 1t would have yielded $323 900 900 annually,

Attorney Frank Hogan I Handed More Support
Practically Assured of Successorship to District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York
 May, However, Be Primaries ass

Election of Waterbury-born Frank s. Hogan as district attorney of New York county to succeed Thomas E. Dewey was assured today follow ing the decision of the Republican organization to follow the lead of the Democrats and nominate him. Support has also been advanced by a powerful group of the Fusion party, led by Samuel Seabury, and Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia has given his tentative approval.
 Endorsement of MT. Hogan by one or both wings of the American La- Dor party is also expected. This leaves Fusion group backing John Harlan Amen, special investigator at Brooklyn, as the only political unit of any appreciable size oppos- ing MT. Hogan. Primaries may be necessary to win the Republican and Democratic nominations of- ficially for the former Waterburian but observers say that they will be only fornalities.
 Climax Early Career
 Election of MT. Hogan, now serv- ing as administrative assistant to District Attorney Dewey, will climax a brilliant scholastic and legal ca reer. Born in 1902, he attended St. Thomas parochial school and Crosby high school, then worked his way through Columbia law school. He was graduated from Columbia as president of his class.
 MT. Hogan's parents, MT. and Mrs. Michael F. Hogan, live at 1S6 Cooke street. A sister, Mrs. Alfred Ken- ney, lives at 5 Bonair avenue, while a brother, Joseph, is a lawyer in New York.
 Very Good Impression
 Mayor LaGuardia met MT. Hogan for the first time yesterday. Af- ter a half-hour conference, the mayor said that the 39-year old prosecutor had made "a very good impression" though declining to come out with a flat endorsement.
 MT. Hogan told the mayor that he intended to keep the office out of politics. He promised to retain the staff built up by MT. Dewey. He plans to take no sides in the mayoralty fight between Mayor La- Guardia, the Repuhlican-Fu Fusion candidate, and District Attorney William oDwyer. the Democratic nominee.

RUSSIANS DELAY
 DRIVE OF NAZIS
Attempt to Strike Through to MOscOw=Leningrad

BY HENRY SHAPIRO

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, Aug. 5.-UP)-German pressure on the new KholIn front where a NaI attempt to strike through to the main Moscow-Len- ingrad railroad no miles distant is in progress appeared to have re- faxed somewhat today.
 The morning high command did not report any action on the Kholm front during the night al- though heavy battles were reported to have continued on the main Smolensk front, and the Belaya Tserkov and Korosten fronts in the Kiev area.
 For the second successive day, however, the high command failed to mention Novorshev, 60 miles west of Kholm, a possible indication that Soviet forces have been forced to fall back on Kholm from their Novoshev positions.
 Three Hour Alarm
 There was a three hour air alarm in Moscow during the night and the Red air fleet carried out night attacks upon German mechanized units, infantry concentrations and air bases.

GERMANY CLAIMS
 GREAT CAPTURE
Seized Railway Center of EstOnia-Soviet Defend-

By JOSEPH W. GREGG, JR. United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Berlin, Aug. 5.-UP)-The high command reported today the cap- ture of Tapa, North Estonian rail- road center, virtually isolating the Soviet defenders of Tallinn. It also said that German troops are chisel- ing out new pocket" area 62 miles southeast of SmolenSk.
 However, the official communique admitted heavy Russian attacks were in progress in the Ukraine where Soviet armies were fighting to break through an encirclement despite what were described here as heavy losses.
 Capture of Tapa had the appear ance of a major Naz success on the Baltic front. Russian forces have been resisting strongly in Northern Estonia. With Tapa in German hands, however, the main communi- cations links between Tallinn and the Russian frontier were cut. Tapa is 50 miles east of Tallinn and 30 miles west of the RusSo-Estonian frontier.
 Location Not Given
 The high command did not give the specific location of the pocket area on the central front, except to say that it is about 62 miles southeast of Smolensk. The com munique said that German forces are extending their break-through in that area, encircling more troops and destroying others.
 Heavy fighting in the Ukraine was admitted but 1t was said all Soviet
