Strong Nazi Reserves
Hurled Into Battles
On Russian Front
Soviet Troops Fall Back
In Don River Bend and
Pyotigorsk Region
p the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Aug. 19.-The Ger
mans poured strong reserves to-
day into the Don bend and Cau-
casus battles from south of Voro-
nezh to the high plains of Pyati-
gorsk, and the bolstered on
slaught presaged a full-scale
drive against Stalingrad and
along the Baku rail line to the
shores of the Caspian.
The Russians, fighting back
fiercely, fell back in the Don bend,
where their counteroffensive ap-
peared spent, and gave ground in
the region of Pyatigorsk, ITO miles
southeast of the destroyed and
abandoned Maikop oil fields.
On London British source
whom it was not permitted to
identify by name said the Ger
mans had made some progress
toward Stalingrad, reaching but
not crossing the Don River at
the bend. He declared, however,
that Russian resistance had stiff
fened in the Caucasus, slowing
German progress considerably
The Nazi drive down the Rostov-
Baku rail line across the Caucasus
had its next apparent objective be-
yond Pyatigorsk and Mineralyne
Vody, the rail junction town of
Georgievsk, only few miles beyond
the Nazi spearheads.
Grozny, heart of the Grozny oil
field, lies 130 miles southeast along
the railway, and the Caspian is 100
miles beyond Grozny.
In the Northwestern Caucasus the
Russians reported repulsing German
attacks in the Krasnodar area so
miles east of the port of Novorossisk.
While the Germans gained in q
Don bend sector, three vain attacks
were cited in which they lost four
tanks and more than 300 men. More
than 100 German automatic rifle
men were reported slain on the
approaches to village.
Bryansk Fighting Flares.
Southwest of Stalingrad, Red
Army patrols were active overnight
and one was credited with the de-
struction of seven Nazi supply
trucks, searchlight installation
and two anti aircraft guns behind
the German line.

Bryansk front southwest of Moscow.

Nazi Surface Raider
Sinks i. ). Vessel
Off African Coast
IS Of Grew Killed, 20
More Taken Prisoner;
British Croft Sunk
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
First confirmation of reports
that German surface raider was
loose in the South Atlantic came
today when the Navy released
the stories of survivors of a
medium sized United States mer-
chant vessel.
Sinking of a small British ship off
the northern coast of South America
by submarine identified by survi-
vors as italian also was announced
by the Navy today.
Survivors Of the American ship
said at an Atlantic port that the
German raider, obscured by the
darkness, appeared to be five
hatch cargo ship.
Maritime men In New York said
this was the average number of
matches, or deck openings to the
cargo hold, for about a 7,O0O-ton
gross ship.
The second officer of the Ameri-
can ship, who said at least Is Of
his crewmates we're killed by shells
or machine-gun fire, said about 20
other men were made prisoner. He
said the ship was probably steam
powered and left the scene at about
20 knots.
The captain, who like the second
officer is naturalized German
American, said he believed that the
raider had at least six guns and
that some of her armament was of
8inch caliber. He estimated the
ship at 5000 to 5000 tons and sug-
gested that it launched motor tor
pedo boats equipped with machine
guns to make a simultaneous at
tack on the freighter from three
points.
Survivors said that in addition to
1C salvos from the raiders guns,
their ship also took three and pos
sibly four torpedoes before it went
down.
The attack took place in mid-July
of the West Coast of Africa.
Sinking of the small British mer-
chant vessel off South America,
brought the Associated Press tabu-
lation Of announced sinkings in
the Western Atlantic to 1876. The
ship sunk by the raider was not in
cluded in the tabulation since the
attack took place In the Eastern
Atlantic.

Cruiser or Destroyer
Sent Down in Fog,
Navy Reports

A United States submarine has
sunk a japanese cruiser or de-
stroyer in the Western Aleutian
area, the Navy announced today,
bringing to % the total of enemy
ships announced as sunk or dam
aged in that area.
Conditions, supposedly fog. made
an exact Identification of the ship
impossible. The Navy said this
sinking has not been announced in
any previous Navy Department COM
munique.
The location of the action reported
today was given only as "the West
ern Aleutian area"
The Navy has announced previ-
ously that Japanese have made
landings in Agattu, Attu and Kiska,
rocky islands in the western part Of
the Aleutian chain.
The Navy has pointed out on sew
eral occasions that the hazards OF
fog have hampered operations
throughout the entire Aleutians. On
July 6, the Navy reported that two
days before submarines had tor
pedoed four Japanese destroyers in
the Aleutians, three at Kiska and the
fourth at Agattu. On August 8, the
Navy announced bombardment Of
japanese ships and shore establish
ments at Kiska.
Text of the two-paragraph COM
munique today, No. 108, of the war,
follows:
North Pacific area
Il. A United States submarine
has reported the sinking of a jap
anese cruiser or destroyer in the
Western Aleutian area. Conditions

ton of the type of ship.

Democratic Farley
Delays Candidate
Choice Till Tomorrow
Farley Still Confident
Of Benefits Selection
Despite Roosevelt Moves
BY GOULD LINCOLN,

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 19.-
The Democratic State Convention
meeting in the st. George Hotel
today concluded it's organization
in jig time under the direction OF
Big Jim" Farley, State Demo-
cratic chairman. It then ad-
journed until II am. tomorrow
when it will fight out the contest
over the nomination of a guber-
material candidate.
Involved in this contest is the
political fate of Mr.. Farley, one time
political manager for President
Roosevelt and a member of the
cabint, and also the political pres
tlge of the President himself in his
home State.
The delegates will be called on to
decide between Attorney General
John j. Bennett, jr., backed by Mr..
Farley, and Senator Mead, who is
supported by Mr.. Roosevelt, Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman and the New
Dealers generally. unless one of the
candidates is withdrawn, or both
step aside to permit the name of a
compromise candidate.
No Break" in Sight.
At the moment, there is no such
break" in sight. Pleas by Mr..
Roosevelt for harmony have been in
vain. The demand of the President
that Mr.. Bennett not be nominated
apparently has had no effect on
Mr.. Benefits supporters.
This afternoon and tonight 1t is
expected tremendous pressure will
be exerted by the Mead forces to get
the leaders and the rank and file of
the delegates to swing to the support
OF the Presidents candidate. Unless
he Is able to break successfully into
the big blocs of delegates pledged to
Mr.. Bennett, Senator Mead's chances
are not SO bright.
Mr. Farley told newspapermen to-
day that the Bennett lines were
holding firm. The Mead leaders,
however, still maintained that when
will have a majority of the delegates.
They insisted it was inconceivable
that the convention would turn
down Mr.. Roosevelt.
A dramatic moment came in to-
days session when Mr.. Farley was
presented to the convention by Gov.
Lehman, temporary chairman. The
delegates rose and gave Mr.. Farley
the greatest ovation accorded to
anyone.
Farley Makes Brief Talk.
Mr.. Farley reiterated as he
entered the hall his complete con-
fidence in the victory of Mr.. Ben
nett. Supporters of Senator Mead
merely said laconically that the
Senator's name would go before The
convention.
Mr.. Farley, big and smiling and
immaculate in light tan colored |
suit, entered the hall on the dot of |
II. American flags and bunting
decorated the hall. Brooklyn, the
home town of Mr.. Bennett, was Sc
lected by Mr. Farley for the con-
vention, as he said, because it |,
could do Bennett no harm"
Mr.. Farley in a brief speech open
ing the convention predicted that |
the candidate for Governor named |
by the convention would win next |
