School Recess, Pre.HOIi' day Shoppers Add to
 Worries of Drivers

Apprehension that the decrease in automobile fatalities which has re- suited from reduced motor vehicle use will not hold in December be- cause of holiday traffic conditions and statewide dim-out regulations was expressed today by Motor ve- hlcles Commissioner John T, Me- Carthy,
 Normally December, with schools on vacation, shopping crowds in the city areas, and more people on the streets generally because of the holi- day season, records sharp rise in automobile accidents. particularly those involving pedestrians. Tn addi- ton this year, December will be the first full month of cim-out regula- tiors."
 During November. 3l persons, 2i Of them pedestrians were killed by automobiles in Connecticut. Com missioner Mccarthy reported. This was the highest monthly toll since May. Last year a persons were kill ed in December.
 "Connecticut's necessary wartime reduction in lighting constitutes a serious highway danger, particular ly for pedestrians. Only e real in- crease in caution will offset these conditions, Commissioner Mccarthy warned. What December's accident toll will be is up to the people who walk and drive"
 The commissioner pointed out that in accord with army re9ula- tions, Connecticut will have to do with greatly reduced light from street lights and automobile head lights. The usual brightness from shop windows and electric signs will be missing. Areas of darkness. he said, which spell danger fer the pedestrian, will be extended and multiplied.

 Whereas, the month of Decem-.

 Anoher remedy can be effected by the rent office which may institute court action asking for an injunc- ton or mandamus restraining the violator from further illegal action or compelling him to conform with regulation. This procedure has been followed in numerous instances by the local office, and will continue 70 serve as a means of stopping viola tions.
 Criminal proceedings may be star ted against violators and heavy penalties and fines can be imposed, likewise. according to provisions of the OPA. The mere fact that a civil action Is filed does not pre- vent a criminal suit from being in. stituted. 1t has been pointed out.

In addition fighter sweeps by Lockheed Lightning P.Sss and the heavy bombing of Axis airdromes showed the growing attack strength of the Allied forces.
 A disposition in some quarters to believe that the Allied troubles in Africa were due in part to lack Of efficient publicity was reflected by an editorial today In the influential Times which complained of the haz- iness of Allied news handlers.
 Most information has been pieced together from phrases spoken by broadcasters. the Times said, since dispatches of correspondents in general have been greatly de- layed. Indeed, Allied headquarters can not be congratulated on the

 Their attack broken, the Germans fled, leaving the Russians to pick up on the field their machine guns, tommy guns and rifles.
 Repeated German counter attacks west of Rzhev, i35 miles west of Moscow, on the central front, cost the enemy HOO men killed and seven tanks and l20 trucks destroy ed, the noon communique reported.
 The Germans were making furious attempts to hold their positions on the central front and were pouring in endorsements to fill gaps hack ed in their lines by the Russians.
 They used 500 0infantrymen and so tanks in 10 separate attacks on one small Russian units. only to be beaten back, special dispatch 10 the newspaper Pravda said.
 Delayed reports from the central front reported that during the early part of the Russian central front offensive tanks under Maj. Gen. Tarasov captured the headquarters of the 33d German Tank Division. Peasants who greeted the Russains led thsm to another village where the Red Army men captured an- other headquarters.
 Communiques and dispatches agreed in indicating that despic enemy endorsements and counter attacks the Russians were driving forward on both the Stalingrad and vest Moscow fronts.
 Tanks infantrymen including fa- nous guards regiments and artillery stopped the German counter thrusts cold. The artillery blasted German defense positions merciless- ly and the attack forces followed up with drives which indicated the general offensive had now regained its full momentum on both main fronts.
 In it's midnight communique the Red Army Command announced an unbroken series of successes, several of major importance, in Stalingrad City, northwest and southwest of 1t. and on the central front west Of Moscow.
 Ten villages, one a railroad point, were taken in the area of greater Stalingrad-Ya Yakty -Srnyshin, Sav- insky, Lisinsky, Popov, Verknechir- sky, Chepurin, Deyev, Parshin and the Sekfeteve railroad station.
 In the northern sector of Stalin- grad City, where every house and building is German fortress, shock troops drove forward for gains of 22O to 230 yards and 5ook many en- emy fortified positions. In the fac- tory area they took an entire block of houses, killed more than 400 Nazis and captured spoils.
 Northwest of Stalingrad. on the east bank of the Don River, the Russians in a brilliant flanking movement routed the Gremans from a defense point in one sector. They stormed and captured dominating height in a second sector, killing 500 Germans ard destroyed series of German defense points in third.
 Up to 1000 Germans were killed in a ferocious battle in which the Russians took strong enemy forti- fled village southwest of Stalingrad, demolished 30 enemy dugouts and destroyed si:: tanks, l9 machine guns and two trucks.
