Continued from Page 1.)

Mrs. Florian took the stand on her own behalf and admitted she did not consider herself an experi- enced driver, adding she possessed a motor vehicle license only since 1939 and that during the three years to the present time she did not do too much driving which assignment was carried out mostly by her two daughters.
 The accused also stated she did very little driving in Waterbury adding she tried to avoid the heavy traffic in this totwn, particularly in the center. She claimed her dis like of driving in Waterbury traf- f1c was caused by traffic officers who are always hurrying motor vehicle operators.
 Other Witnesses
 Other witnesses on the stand to- day were Mrs. Helen J. Sherwill of 25 Hillside avenue who lives near the scene of the fatal accident and who heard the crash while working in her home, Sergeant Charles Mc- Weeney and Patrolman Vincent Begg who investigated the accident for the police, and Henry Gebhardt, photographer, who took several pie lures of the scene of the accident for Attorney William Gager, coun- sel for Mrs. Florian.

planes into action for the first time in the southwest Pacific to aid the Australians who are fighting the Japanese in the Kokoda area of New Guinea between the new en- emy Gonabuna base on the north coast and Port Moresby, the big Allied advanced base.
 A big force of new Bell Aairaco- bra P-39 fighters, among the fastest and most heavily armored planes in the world, were equipped with bomb racks and sent against the Japan ese.
 They bombed and machine gum ned Japanese troops and machine gun nests, which they silenced, and aided three carefully co-ordinated Australian combat forces to take the Kokoda flying field, cut of Japanese patrols and block the only path along which the enemy could bring endorsements from the Buna Coma base.
 Reports to General MacArthur,s headquarters and dispatches from the Pearl Harbor headquarters of Admiral Chester W. NimitZ, com- mander in chief in the Pacific, indi- cated that the United States must be prepared to expect naval losses in the Solomons battle, especially from Japanese land-based planes, with the nearest allied land bases 1000 miles or more away.
 May Be Allied Base
 But there was additional expecta- tion that the Tulage area would be. come an Allied base which could protect the vital sea lanes to A8. tralia, put formidable if not kn- passable barrier between the Jap anese and New Caledonia and New eZaland to the south, and provide, eventually the springboard from which an Allied army would start northward, first to take back the north coast of New Guinea and New Britain Island adjacent to it and then to begin the deflnitive Pacific offensive toward the Philippines. The first objective was limited to the consolidation of positions in the Tulagi area.
 The ferceness of Japanese resist ance there meant both that the Jap- anese had received powerful rein- forcements in recent weeks, aside from thos dispatched after the sur- prise American attack, and that the enemy realized fully the importance of the Solomon Islands battle.
 So important was the battle re- garded here that the possibility was foreseen that the Japanese high command might order a diversional attacvk on northern Australia, aim- ed at the north coast base of Dar- win.
 Have Superiority
 London, Aug. 13.-(UP)-The Al- lies have air superiority, both over land and sea, in the battle of the Solomons where the Japanese fleet has Host control of Tulagi harbor" under the blasting of American war ships, the naval correspondent of the Yorkshire Post reported today.
 Whatever may be the extent of the naval losses, the Japanese fleet has lost control of Tulagi harbor and 1t has not got back there after the naval action, and apparently is keeping clear of the island on which Ia landing has been made," tho cor. reApondent said.

DUTCH HOSTAGES
 MAY BE EXECUTED
(Continued from Page 1)

The Aneta Dutch News Agency reported that German authorities suffering from invasion jitters," !" taking stern precautions against any Dutch uprising in event of an Allied invasion of Western Europe.
 A series of new decrees was said to have been issued, designed to tighten control over the Dutch civilian population.
 The German troop train, loaded with soldiers, was wrecked last Fri day and the Nazis have announced that unless those responsible are apprehended by tomorrow night hos tageS will be executed. It was not clear whether the threat implied the execution of all the 1000 to $l.500 hostages reported to be held by the Germans.
 Crash of Trains
 GA British broadcast recorded by CBS in New York said German troop train crashed into fuel train in Northern France today and a German ammunition train was blown up at 8 French railroad station. Many soldiers were killed abroad the troop train.
 Thus far there has been no in- formation that the train wreckers either had surrendered or been handed over by the Dutch police.
 The German radio, in a broad cast dispatch from the Hague to- day, said that attempts had been made to wreck radio transmitting stations in Holland but that the actual saboteurs were captured.
 Gen. Friedrich Christiansen, com mander of the German forces in Holland, was quoted az saying that the explosives taken from the sabo- teurs was of foreign origin"

 The Honan attack was continu- ation of strong assaults by Ameri- can bomber and fighter squadrons on Japanese bases throughout cen- tral and eastern China, designed in part to prevent the Japanese from rushing aerial endorsements to the Solomon Island battlefront.
 An army air force spokesman said that the American fighter opera tions were carried out from RAF airf1elds.
 An air force spokesman said that probably only few .nerican air. men participated in coch of the operational flights ard said the action was "sort of beginners proposition"

 He would not indicate the scope of the American air operations or how soon the American airmen would be ready to carry on their own operations.
 The American fliers used RAF planes in their operations, he re- vealed.
