 London, Aug. 4.-(UP)-Jugoslav patriot activities have forced Beni- to Mussolini to call formal Italian war conference to map plans for the ruthless subjugation of the country, it was revealed today.
 Axis radios made it known that Mussolini had presided at confer ence at Gorizia. 20 miles from the turbulent Jugoslavia border, to dis cuss with his highest army leaders situation which, he implied, was attaining the proportions of sec on dallied front.
 Addressing 8 crowd from the bal cony of the GoriZia governors pal ace after the two-hour conference, Mussolini mentioned allied plans for 8 second front and said, the Berlin radio reported:
 There will be no second front here, and 1t Is improbable that a second front will be set up anywhere else in the world. The Axis and tri- partite powers (Germany, Japan and Italy) have the means to win victory"
 Issues His Warning
 MuSsolini then addressed a warn- ing to those-like the Jugoslavs- who live beyond the "old" Italian frontiers and "still dream marbid dreams" and commented: ITO those clements Italy will apply the law"

Master Plumbers Give
 Ultimatum To City
Board of Aldermen Refused Last Night to Change Plumbing Code; So Plumbers Will Make No
 More Connections to Sewers or Water

With the board of aldermen hav- inc last night refused to modify the plumbing code to relieve plumbing contractors of financial responsibil- ity for six months after they have made street excavations, the Water bury Master Plumbers Association today made effective it's ultimatum to make no more connections be- tween water and sewer mains and private property. Members were refusing all jobs involving street excavations and will do so in definitely.
 Let the city do the excavating," said Christian Braun, chairman of the associations special committee. "sNe',.7e gotten :s1e run-eround long enough"
 The aldermen referred a petition by the master plumbers to the or dinance committee, with instructions to confer with the board of works on the problem. No action was taken on the proposed new plumbing ordinance which, Democratic Lead CT Patrick Shea admitted, has been kicked around for three or four years"
 The aldermanic action was marked by sharp exchanges in which Corporation Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch and Supt. of Streets Her. bert Scott Smith were criticized and in which some members of the al- dermanic ordinance committee were charged with being "insincere".
 Under the present plumbing code, master plumbers are held financially responsible for six months for any damages resulting from excavations they have to make in connecting water and sewer pipes to city mains. The proposed new ordinance con- tainS the same provision.

But Deep in Caucasus Nazi Tank Smashes Force
 SOviets Back BLOW UP DAM TO
 STOP GERMAN DRIVE Rumanian Troops Moved Down By Nazis When They Refuse to Attack
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

DA AGlNnA 0A1kAG 40V United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Moscow, August 4. - (UP) = The Red Army today re- ported the capture of a stra- tegic height and the killing of 2,000 men of an Italian division at the Kletslaya ap- breaches to Stalingrad but deep in the Caucasus the Russians fell back toward the mountains under crushing Nazi assaults.
 Marshal Semyon Timoshenko battled to stem the armored tide of the Germans south of Kusch- chevka and Salsk but geographical handicaps and disruption of his | lines of communications in numer- ous sectors made 1t impossible to bring up reserve strength.
 (The German high command re- ported the capture of VoroshtlovSk, 180 miles in the Caucasus, and the Kuban river had been reached at several points while the official German News Agency DINE added that, south of Voroshilovsk, the vital Rostov- Baku Railroad line had been cut)
 (The British radio, recorded by CBS in New York, said retreating Russia nforces had blown up a dam near Salsk and flooded the Manych valley in an effort to stem the Nazi armored advance
 Battle Weary Forces
 Timoshenko was forced to depend largely upon his battle-weary forces in the field while the Germans, with a comparatively thick net work of southern Russian railroads at their rear, constantly poured endorsements of men and weapons into the battle areas.
 The Soviet noon communique ac- knowledged a retreat to new posi- tions in the Salsk area and the Mos COW press, warned that Russia Is in mortal danged".
 There can be only one issue = victory or death,' said the Army organ Red Star. "There Is no nid- dle course; there cannot be-"
 Along the upper reaches of the front, on the German flank around Voronezh, German punitive units" armed with tommy guns were said to be driving Rumanian trops into battle and moving them down when they refuse to charge the Soviet po- sitions.
 In another sector, according to the the Red Star, Hungarian machine gunners forced Rumanian troops into battle in an effort to recapture an important Don bridgehead.
 Russia's Best Success
 The Russians greatest success continued to be in defense of Stall ingrad where, because of better communications, the Red Army is able to exert greater strength. Men and materials are moving down the Volga to the Kletskaya sector and the great armament works of Stai- ingrad are pouring out tanks and big bend of the Don.
 Below Kushchevka and Salsk, the Russians were compelled to fall back toward the towering Caucasus because the flat ter rain is ideally suited to the German tank assaults.
 Falling back stubbornly and strik- ing out in quick counter-attacks whenever possible, the Red Army was being pushed back toward the mountain barrier.
 If the two -pronged German drive from the north reaches the KuhAn river and the footholds of the Russia's three great css- producing Maikop and Ap-

State Promises Full Season
of Deer Hunting as Usual

LANSING, Nov. 10.-More than
175,000 Michigan deer hunters to-
day had the assurance that there
would be a full deer season this
year. November 1880.
Although War Manpower Com
mission and Army Ordnance Off
cials had asked for a shorter
season to keep war workers at
their jobs, the Conservation Com
mission issued a statement at its
monthly meeting Monday point
ing out that only the legislature
had the authority TO regulate the
deer season. The commission said
that its only authority would be
to shorten or close the season be-
cause of a threat TO the deer popu-
lation.
The commission stated il had
mo authority or inclination tc
close the deer season TO prevent
war workers taking time off tc
hunt"
"The Michigan deer herd Is
now large and healthy and
hunting Is n valuable factor I'm
keeping IL within normal
bounds" the statement said.
Conservation Director p. j. Hoff
master said he believed that the
deer hunting season was a factor
in keeping up war production
throughout the summer, becaus'

Toronto Hate
Campaign After
Orlando Scalp
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Bar Jimmy Orlando OF the De-
troit Red Wings from hockey for
lifel
Red faced Toronto sports writ
ers and fans are shrieking for the
scalp of the Detroit hockey club
defenseman who engaged in two
settos with Gaye Stewart, Maple
Leaf rookie, at Toronto Saturday
night. Stewart did his best 10 scalp
Orlando as he broke his stick in
three pieces hacking at the De-
troiter's head and sent him to the
surgeon. But that doesn't seem to
be enough.
The Toronto hate campaign, still
flaring after the close call the
great Leafs had in the Stanley Cup
series with Detroit, is being re-
newed with unparalleled vigor. To-
ronto newspapers are calling on
Calder for a ruling.
LET Mr.. Calder make the de-
cision," said Manager Jack
Adams Of Detroit today. T have
given him n full report. Right
now i am more interested i'm
finding a defenseman to replace
Bill Quackenbush, who suffered
broken left wrist In the To-
ronto game. I'm pleased to hear
Carl Liscombe will be back TO
play against Canadiens this
weekend, hut 1 must patch up
the defense"
Adams said Coach Ebbie Good
fellow may be able TO fill in for
Quackenbush for the two Mont
real games this weekend or that
John SANDY Ross. indianapolis
-defenseman who suffered sheHl-
der dislocation in the city series
may be able TO play. If neither is
available The Wings will probably
play shorthanded, with sgd Howe
dropping back 10 the defense.
Pressed for an opinion on the
Orlando matter, Adams said he did
not condone Orlando's one-punch
kayo Of Gaye Stewart at Toronto
Saturday night.
AS n manager / can't ap-
prove OF Jimmy's punching"
said Adams. THE question in my
mind, however, IL how far
league officials, officials and
fans OF other clubs are going To
condone the abuse of Orlando
merely because he Is of Italian
descent.
Toronto fans, even police
men, continually showered him
with abuse on this point. Jimmy
