Eyacuating stallngrad

EV6CuAt1US 6t1AASA@O
 Stockholm, Aug. 25-(UP)-The Swedish Telegraph bureau reported from Ankara today that the Rus sians are hastily evacuating Stalin- grads industries and the area along the banks of the Volga.
 The Soviet evacuation, the Swed- ish reports said, is being carried out under 8 continuous attack of Nazi dive bombers.
 Mosow dispatches reported Ger man dive bombers are dropping items of tons" of high explosives on Soviet positions before StalingraO
 The Swedish reports said scenes at Stalingrad are reminiscent of Moscow last October at the height of the German drrve on the Russian capital.
 All civilians, the dispatches said, have been mobilize6 and are digging trenches and hastily erecting de- lenses around the city.

BRAZIL IS GOING
 ALL OUT ON AXIS
Continued from Page D

The government was greatly en- couraged by the fact that six South American Republics-Paraguay, Ar gentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Peru-had declared Brazil 8 non. belligerent. Under this status, Brazil ian ships may use their ports a: long and as freely as they wish and economic restrictions imposed against nations considered belliger- ents are not applied.
 Argentina, which has not broken diplomatic relations with the Axis, implied the hope that Brazil would be victorious. In a note to Vargas, President Ramon s. Castillo of Ar- gentina said: T send my best wish es for definite triumph of the principles that inspire our juridicial tradition and our independent poli- tical life"
 The army was growing fast, fol- lowing the minister of wars appeal for reserves of the second and third categories = those with military training but outside the army = to join the armed forces.
 Many thousand had enlisted. A dispatch from Para said 1000 men had paraded in a body to recruiting headquarters yesterday.
 NaZi, Italian Ships Seized
 A government order yesterday brought ' German and 188 Italian vessels that took refuge in Brazilian waters when war broke out in 1889 under the Brazilian flag. Brazil had contracted to pay for these vessels most of which she already was using-after the war, but the order broke the contracts. The government

ceased had formerly been connected with the circus and was on that evening visiting various aquaint- ances among his former fellow em- ployes and was said to have been drinking "fairly heavily"
 Shortly before the fatal accident two employees of the circus moved Sumauskas from the tongue of a wagon where he was sleeping, and stood him against the rear of the bus with his "arms leaning on the bus and his head lying against his arms" the finding states.
 Fifteen minutes later Lawson was asked to move the bus so tractor could go through with circus wagons.
 Lawson entered the bus, started the motor and backed about ten feet when he stopped the bus at a cry from another employe standing nearby who alled out that there was somebody beneath the bus. The de- ceased was found under the rear of the bus and was removed on stretcher to the cirrus hospital tent and from there in a station wagon used as an ambulance to the Wa terbury hospital where he died," the coroner states.
 Coroner McNiR points out in his finding that "across the back of the deceased's shirt were marks of the tread of the dual right tires on the right rear wheel of the bus indi- eating that it passed right across his body"
 The coroner makes note of the fact that mo witness was found who saw these marks until they were discovered by police officers some time after ceath.'
 The coroner states that Lawson testified that he did not think his bus struck the deceased because he had felt no bump. Lawson also said that he had been told by unidentified persons that Sumauskas had been intoxicated and had been in fist light earlier in the evening. He tes- tifled further that he assumed the condition of the man under the truck was due to those facts and not due to collision with the bus, the finding states.
 No witness could testify as to where Sumauskas was at the time the bus started to move, Coroner McNi6 points out.
 Tn view of these circumstances there appears to be great uncer- tainty as to whether Sumauskas was standing or lying down or even par tially under the rear of the bus at the time Lawson got into it and backed it." the finding states. ''The site of the accident was only mod erately lighted and the deceased was wearing dark clothes except for his shirt which was fairly light in col- or. The evidence which was pro- duced after extensive investigation does not show with reasonable prob- ability that there was any negli- gence on the part of Lawson of criminal nature, since there is a strong doubt that Lawson was un- der real compulsion to examine the immediate rear of the bus, or under it, before backing"

 Yesterday, August 24, American Aircraft scored damaging hits or an enemy transport and a cruiser north of Guadalcanal and left botl burning f1ercely, the communique said.
 The Ryuzyo, the Japanese carrier which was severely damaged, is g vessel of TOO tons, with a normal complement of 600 men. Unoffi. cial reports indicate that it car carry only 24 aircraft. It was com missioned on May g, 1883.
 Truk Islands comprise the larg- est group in the carolines. They are grouped in a lagoon and are in general, composed of basalt. The deep water harbors in the area are particularly useful for anchorage of large numbers of ships.
 The Solomon Islands, important because they provided the Japanese with bases close to the Allied sup ply lines to Australia and New Zea- land, were first attacked Nby U. s. Marines, naval and air forces on Aug. '.
 On Aug. 10, Admiral Ernrest J. King, commander in chief of the U. s. fleet, revealed that the marines have effected landings and that one of our cruisers was sunk and two cruisers, two destroyers, and trans- port damaged.
 Subsequently the Japanese made small scale attempts to repel the American attacks, without success
 On Aug. 20, nearly two weeks after the battle of the SolomonS be- gan, the Navy revealed that the ma- rines had captured their objectives and were engaged in "mopping up" the remnants of the Japanese forces on the Islands. At the same time it was disclosed that casual lombard ments of the U. s. shore positions had been carried out by enemy air. craft, destroyers and submarines, but only minor damage was inflicted in these attacks.
 A weekend announcement from Pearl Harbor, headquarters of Pa cific fleet commander Admiral Ches- ter w. Nimitz, reported that 700 Japanese had attempted to land on the American-held Solomons and that 670 of them had been killed. The other 30 were taken prisoners.

world brOadCaSC on ms tour ana per- haps give a hint of events to come, insofar as he could say anything which would not aid the enemies of the United Nations.
 Reports spread that Russia had reserves behind Stalingrad which Stalin hoped to use with greatest effect when the Allies might feel able to invade Europe on 8 scale forcing Hitler to withdraw some hundreds of thousands of men from the Russian front.
 Reserves May Do It
 According to these reports, it was believed the reserves might prove strong enough to break the German offensive if the enemy weakened its forces. Even now, 1t was said, the Russians might with their re- serves halt the German drive. But it was added that If they did SO, though they might force 8 German retreat, their use would leave Rus- sia without endorsements to meet a new German attack.
 There was still no indication whether the reported second front agreement called for attacks on an invasion scale in western Europe this year, or whether an actual 1n- vasion had been postponed defi- nitely until 1943.
 Informants reported that Chur- chill and Stalin had engaged In . sweeping review of the entire world situation from the Caucasus front through uwestern Europe and the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 It was said that all problems were discussed in detail and as part of the whole job of beating the Axis.
 Proposals for co-ordinating Allied strategy in all theaters entered into the discussion, 1t was suggested, and especially means of coordinating British and Russian offensive strategy against Germany. Churchill and Stalin exchanged detailed military information, in- formation said, and discussed Rus sia's ability to fight on. It was estab- lished definitely that Russia had this ability, according to informants, though 1t was understood that Stalin left no doubt in Churchill'S mind that Russia needed acts not words to support her now.
 Stalin was believed to have urged Churchill to undertake an offensive in the middle east if he could not start one in western Europe now, in short to do anything t relieve the l German pressure on the Russian front.
 Russia Will Fight
 Stalin was understood to have as- sured Churchill that Russia would fight as stoutly as it had and would force the Germans into another costly winter campaign. But it was taken for granted that he pointed out the frightful cost to Russia. Churchill's return was well kept secret, in sharp contrast to his de- parture when the Axis broadcast de- tails Of his movements. Until a couple of hours before the prime minister arrived in England bJ plane almost nobody knew his fe- turn was imminent.
 It was reported that during hll long visit in the middle east Chur- chin saw the Shah of Iran twice on his way to Russia and on hii way home.
