 Last midnight's Soviet communique revealed that the Germans, obvious ly with fresh reserves in infantry, tanks and planes, had resumed their all-out efforts to seize Stalingrad and its important heavy industries and cut the Volga river line. On g sector southeast of Kletskaya, which is 75 miles northwest of Stalingrad, the Russians were forced to retire.
 Fierce Nazi Offensive (
 The communique also reported 8 fierce German offensive raging northeast of Kotelnikovski, 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad.
 Southeast of Kletskaya, our troops were engaged in tense, de- fensive battles against enemy tanks and infantry" it said. "On sector N, large German forces passed to the offensive after bloody battles in which the Red army destroyed up to 300 Hitlerites. Our troops retired to new defensive positions.
 "In the area northeast of Kotel- nikovski, our troops engaged in fighting the enemy who went over to the offensive. Near locality B, a fierce battle developed in which the Germans lost up to 500 killed"
 The midnight communique re- ported that Russian forces repelled fierce attacks in the Pyatigorsk area and on one sector killed more than 300 Germans, indicating that a drive in the Mineralnye Vody area, 14O miles from the oil fields of Grozy, had veered. Pyatigorsk is 10 miles southwest of Mineralnye Vody.
 In the Krasnodar area, 63 miles from Novorossisk, Russia's best re- maining Black Sea base, the Rus sians counter attacked enemy de- tachments which had forced the Kuban rivep and routed battalion, the communique said.
 The Soviet Bureau of informa- ton announced last night that the Germans had lost 1,250, ,0O0 men be- tween May 15 and Aug. IS, of which 480,00 were killed.
 During the same period, it said the Germans also lost 3,390 tanks up to 4,OOO guns of all calibers anc no less than 4,000 planes"

 At least 66 enemy planes were certainly destroyed, the communique added, compared to British losses of eight planes, four of whose pilots were saved.
 Enemy losses, the communique said, included at least two subma- rines and two E-boats certainly sunk, and unspecifled other dam age.
 The convoy was under the com- mand of Acting Vice Admiral E.. N. Syfret of H. M. s. Nelson, with aircraft carriers under command of Rear Admiral A. L. Fyster and the light forces and "close escort" com- manded by Rear Admiral H. M. Burrough.
 The admiralty previously had ad- mitted loss of the aircraft carrier Eagle, 22,600 tons, and the cruiser Manchester, 9,400 tons, in the same battle, which ensued when British warships escorted a reinforcement convoy to Malta from Gibraltar. German communiqueS claimed an additional cruiser and three de- stroyers sunk, and two further air. craft carriers heavily damaged in the battle).
 Tt is not the intention of the Admiralty to divulge the number of ships in the convoy or the number of ships which arrived, as the ex- tent of the endorsements which have been received by Malta is obviously information of consider able importance to the enemy" the Admiralty commented.

Kletskaya yesterday killed 1,500 Germans, destroyed scores of guns and tanks and were continuing.
 Counter attacks were ordered after heavy enemy tank forces and motorized infantry pierced the first line of Russian defenses on one Sec- tor. The Soviet command had or- dered retreat, but the Russians managed to check the Germans at their second line, and held them.
 The army organ Red Star warned that the Germans were making an all-out effort to sweep the Russians from the bend of the Don and start a final drive for Stalingrad.
 On all other fronts, the noon communique indicated, the Russians were holding fast, and reported stubborn battles" southeast of KletSkaya.
 Red Star said Russians resist ance was becoming stiffer in the areas of Pyatigorsk and Krasnodar, 63 miles from the best Russian Black Sea base of Novorossisk.
 The strategy on those north Cau- casion fronts was to occupy strate- gic points, hold up the Germans as long as possible, kill as many as possible, and then retire to new points when pressure became un-

 In some quarters 1t was believed that nose of the dissidents of the Dieppe population had been re- moved by the Germans some time ago, following the uprising of F'renchmen at the time of the Brit ish Commando raid on St. Nazaire.
 T know that the Dieppe French men are not going to stand and watch the Germans and Allies fight ing in the streets without mixing in it." said the fighting French spokesman.
 For weeks German propagandists have carried on high-pressure campaign boasting of the "impreg- inability" of their French coastal defenses including new Notifications and concrete phlboxes around Dieppe on which thousands of con- scripted French workers had la bored.

 British Public Went Wild

 All weapons were employed in the assault. British naval forces transported the troops and backed them up with bombardent of shore installations Bombing planes attacked known Naz strongpoints and reinforcement communications lines.
 So many British planes Swarmed into the air that Brtons recalled the days of the battle of Britain when the RAF and Lutwafe fought to finish for domination of the air around the British Isles. First Thrill Since World War

Ebell, Fl PaSo, Tex, one of the five men indicted on the spy charges and who pleaded guilty along with German-American Bund leader Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze.
 The Rev. Molzahn, said the pros- ecutor, didn't resent his connection with Kunze, but he resented the fact that the connection with Kunze would be exposed"
 He called Kunze discreet" and charged there was 6 "close tieup" between the clergyman and the Bundster.
 "If there wasn't a close tieup, Kunze wouldn't have the affront- cry to send Fr. Pelypenko to him.
 What was the relation between Kunze and the defendant Molzahn which would warrant and justify Kunze in sending to him one whom, he believed to be a stranger2 The connection was an old connection going back to the Bund days"
 Cooney pointed out that Kunze testified the pastor had attended two Bund meetings with him and that Pastor Emil Schlick, Philadel- phia. a defense witness. testified he saw the Rev. Molzahn at two Bund gatherings.
 And. declared Cooney. "the de- fendant says Pastor Schlick is wrong."

JAPANESE HAVE
 LOST B VESSELS

Washington, Aug. 19-(UP)-A U. S. submarine has sunk a Japanese cruiser or destroyer in the western aAleutian area-bringing to g the number of Japanese ships sunk oI damaged in that area-the navy an. nounced today.
 Fog prevented "an exact identifi. cation of Hle type of ship" the communique said.
 This was the ninth warship hit by U. s. submarines alone in that area since the Japanese moved 1T there in June.
 The submarines, penetrating tc the Japanese bases under cover oj the fog which usually hampers ait and surface operation, already had sunk six destroyers. were believed to have sunk another destroyer and left another burning f1ercely."
 So far all U. s. forces in the area have sunk 10 ships - six des- troyer$, one transport one cruiser, one cargo ship and the cruiser or destroyer mentioned today.
 The 12 damaged, in addition te the destroyer probably sunk, were four cruisers, an aircraft carrier, three destroyers, gunboat and three transports.
 The text of today's communique:
 North Pacific area.
 "1. A U. s. submarine has re- ported the sinking of a Japanese cruiser or destroyer in the western Aleutian area. Conditions made impossible an exact Identification of the type of ship.
 g. This sinking has not been ar- nounced in any previous navy de- partment communique."
 This was the first submarine &C., tion reported by U. s. undersea craft in the Aleutians since July 41
 Since then, however, the Aleutian bases of the Japanese = especially that a Kiska - have been under bombardment by U. s. army and navy planes. and on Aug. 8 naval forces heavily bombed ships and shore establishments at I1iska.

 Tobin for the senatorial nomina- tion in the 18th district. The ac- ton came only hours after Mayor Vincent A. Scully had placed the stamp of organization approval on Senator Michael V. Blansf1eld, seek ing renomination in the 18th, and Patrick J. Wallace, candidate to succeed Senator Edward P. Egan in the 18th district.
 AFL to Meet
 AFL unions, represented by the Waterbury Central Labor Union, will meet tonight in special session to take action on endorsement of MT. Stanton against MT. Blansf1eld. The candidacy of MT. Tobin in the other district may also be reported. Rudolph Tata, president of the Gen. tral Labor Union, is delegate on the Stanton ticket, as are several other AFL leaders.
 The endorsement of MT. Tobin by the executive board of the Wa terbury Brass Workers union was followed by personal endorsement of the former House minority leader at Hartford by Dennis McGrath, president of the Scovill Brass Work CTS union. The unions executive board may take action on a Tobin endorsement before the primary.
 As the heated campaign. went on, in preparation for the balloting in both districts between 1:30 and 9:30 D. m. Friday, observers believed that the CIO and the Tobin group had arranged for an interchange of support in the two districts.
 Prior to the CIO endorsement vote, Attorney Tobin had announced his support of the nine e-point leg islative program announced yester- day by MT. Stanton. This, in sub- stance, is the state program of the CIO.
 Take It As Challenge
 CIO leaders interpreted 1t as a challenge to part of Mayor Scully's statement yesterday which said Serl- ator Blansfield "is not dominated by any group or organization. In their statement endorsing MT. To- bin they criticized the dominant clique" which they claimed con- trols the Democratic party organ ization. The party leadership, they declared, must accept responsibil- ity for endorsing an "anti-labor" candidate.
 Both the CIO and the AFL locals here have for many months been critical of Senator Blansfield, claim ing that he was working against the interests of working people.
 The party organization is throw ing its full weight behind Senator Blansfield and MT. Wallace and its leaders are confident of victory in both districts Friday. The admin istration will have the advantage of an existing, experienced organiza- ton. The personal prestige of Mayor Scully will also be an influence.
 The candidates opposed by the organization are likewise confident. Stanton headquarters said that or ganized labor would be solidly against Senator Blansfield and that many pledges of support had been received from Democrats opposed to the present leadership.
 Tobin supporters claimed that a wave of support for their candi- date has developed. The East End, the section of Brooklyn in the fourth ward, the Abrigador and Washington Hill are all reporting strong sentiment for MT. Tobtn. they said.

 He described as cheap stuff" various bits of Nazi propaganda, pos- tai cards with pictures of Hitler and Goebbels, found in the pastors home by the FBI.
 He said this material was minor where a mans future life is as stake."
 The defense summation began af- ter government prosecutor Joseph F. Cooney told the jury "the govern ment demands conviction" and i've feel that you will feel that 1t is your duty to bring in 8 verdict Of guilty"
 "The evidence seems to the gov- ernment such that it is apparent that this man doesn't love the United States, that he is a sincere Nazi today, that he has been anti semitic, that he has consorted with Nazis, and that he has done busi- ness with Nazi agents and propa- ganda machines |. we have proved this man conspired to enable Kunze to depart from this country with military information"
 Govt. Summation
 The government charged in Its summation that the Rev. Kurt E. B.. Molzahn, Philadelphia Luthera n Pastor accused of being an Axis spy, was responsible for sending the right people" to the German en- bassy at Washington.
 A certain Won Hayden, connected with the German embassy, declared Assistant Prosecutor Joseph P. Cooney, pointed out the defendant Molzahn as one of their key men,"
 Cooney declared that the right people enroute from the defendant to German authorities in Washing ton" were first directed to the Rev. Fritz Evers at Baltimore.
 "Why did he send Father Pely- penko (The Governments star witt ness and counter espionage agenD to Evers when he was going to Washington" Cooney asked.
 ."It was the old play from Mol zahn to Evers to the German em- bassy. Evers directed Pelypenko to the German consulate"
 Cooney said Fr. Pelypenko twas in constant touch with and under orders of the FBI.
 "So much so that letters--one of which the defendant tore the flap off--when presented to him, they were immediately photographed by the FBI."
 The government prosecutor told the Federal jury of eight men and four women who will deliberate the pastors guilt, that the German con- sul at Philadelphia told Fr. Pely- penko that the Rev. Molzahn was "a co-worker and useful to them" As Cooney began his summation he told the jury it is not necessary to show that any conspirator did anything in pursuit of the conspir- acy," to become implicated In the conspiracy itself.
 He started his summary of the case--now ending its fourth week. after the pastors superior. pr. Ern- est Pfatteicher, testified the Rev Molzahn found it rather difficult | in making up his mind whether his loyalty belonged to Germany or the United States.
 Cooney charged that. the pastors activities as a spy were on high CT intellectual plane than the poor fool Ebell who cringed like dog on the witness stand"
