Jap Plane Loss
In Assam Rises

A UNITED STATES AIR BASE

Delayed (UP). - Americ n
fighter pilots and British and
American ground defense crews,
who made better showing during
Japanese attacks on air bases in
Assam than they originally be-
lieved, today were confident that
reinforcements and improved de-
lenses will enable them 10 combat
even the heaviest raids in the
future.
The first official tally of Japa-
nese losses in three raids late last
month showed only five enemy
planes definitely destroyed.
But since then almost daily re-
ports have come in from British
tea planters and natives in the
hills, of wrecked Japanese planes
found in the jungleS.
American fighter pilots now are
credited with six confirmed vic
tories and four probables, while
anti-aircraft crews claim at least
five more shot down and several
badly damaged.

Japan Practically Admits Americans Move Secretly
Germans Make New Gains In Drives For Leningrad; But 90 Miles Away
Russians Established New Base; BarriCaded to De-
 fend Leningrad
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

(UHlteO 1TcSS SLaH COTIcSpVNUcuLJ
 Moscow, Aug. 15-(U.P0 Front line dispatches and communiques said today that the Germans had made new gains both northwest and southwest of Stalingrad, one of the most coveted objectives in Adolf Hitler's campaign.
 The Soviet noon communique said Russian forces, under heavy enemy pressure, retreated slightly and for tified themselves in new positions south of Kotelnikovski, which is 90 miles southeast of Stalingrad.
 Dispatches reported that the Germans had advanced on several sectors near the bank of the Don river in the Kletskaya area, after all-night and all-day tank and mo- torized infantry attacks. The mid night communique revealed that the Germans had penetrated to the river bank, and they now appeared to be enlarging their wedge. Klets- kaya is 75 miles northwest of Sta!- ingrad.
 At least on the Kletskaya front, the Russians were reported to have partially recouped. The Soviet army organ Red Star said theiy en- trenched themselves in new posi- tions along the river bank, then counter attacked, improved several positions and recaptured an import ant hillock.
 Nazis Paying Price
 The noon communique said Ger mans had broken into the rear of Russian defenSeS south of Kletskaya and were suffering heavy losses. Northeast of Kotelnikovski, the Ger mans were reported hastily building Notifications and trying to fend off Russian counter attacks until rein- forcements could be brought up for a drive toward Stalingrad.
 Northeast of Kotelnikovski, the enemy penetrated the outskirts of a small town," the communique said By a swift counter attack, our troops succeeded in throwing back the Germans. In sound attack, enemy infantry supported by 15 tanks were met by artillery fire from our open positions which destroyed six tanks. Our troops counter-at- tackled, routing one battalion"
 In the North Caucasus, Russian counter-attacks slowed the Germans in the areas of Maikop, Cherkessk and Mineralnye Vody. The Ger mans were frequently regrouping their forces, and constantly shifting tanks and mobile artillery about to attack between hills, dispatches as- serted.

BUS DRIVER IS
 GIVEN PRAISE
George L. Eaton Driver for C. K. & L. Co. Is Very
 Highly Commended

George L. Eaton, bus driver for the c. R. & L. Company, has been highly commended by the State Public Utilities Commission for his action in averting what might have been a serious accident July 26 near the intersection of Bishop and Crown sereets when brakes on his bus failed and his machine landed in a vacant lot about 200 fet from the point where he applied the brakes.
 Joseph P. Wadhams. associate en- gineer of the Public Utilities Com misison of the state, suggests better maintenance of emergency brakes and better supervision of "bleed- ing" of all tanks nightly to insure that there is no undue accumulation of dirt and moisture, in his report of his examination into the causes of the bus accident which resulted in injury to Joseph Rizzo, Mrs. Florence Daverso, Mrs. Anna Roller and Mae Martino. all passengers.
 MT. Wadhams also suggests that the tread-valves be removed from the bus, inspected, and strainers leaned or replaced as may be nec- essary, at more frequent intervals than is called for by the present schedule. In this matter the c. R. & L. Company must advise the commission what schedule 1t pro- poses to adopt by September 15.
 Brake Failure
 Tn MT. Wadham,s opinion the &C., cident was caused by failure of the brake equipmnt to function when quickly applied on g steep grade.
 The bus involved in the July &C., cident was operated by George L.. Eaton. It failed to make the turn into Bishop street. jumped Che curb and came to a stop in a vacant lot near the foot of Crown street on the westerly side of Bishop street, m- turing the four named above.

William J. Stanton In 18th Senatorial Fight
Will Contest for Seat Against Present Senator; Well Known in Sports; Is Endorsed By Strong
 Labor Group

A Democratic primary in the 18th district was assured today when William J. Stanton, well-known To- cal sports figure and president of the American Brass c. unit of Local 251, announced his candidacy against Senator Michael V. BlanS- field. A ticket of delegates for Stan- ton will be filed with the Demo- cratic town committee Monday night.
 Strong endorsement of MT. Stan totn for the senatorial nomination was voted last night by the Wa terbury Brass Workers Union. The membership adopted resolution which called Senator Blansfield the Number One labor-baiter in the General Assembly" and criticized him for support of "class legisla- tion."
 News of the Stanton candidacy comes unexpectedly, for no prim- ary contest was expected in the 18th. Only yesterday, ex-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor announced he would not run for the nomination in the 18th district, thereby leav- ing the field clear for eX-Rep. John F. Tobin.
 The union resolution on the Stan ton candidacy follows: Resolution on a Candidate for the
 18th Senatorial District Whereas:
 1. State Senator Michael Blans- field, Democratic incumbent for the 18th Connecticut Senatorial dis trict, has distinguished himself as the Number One labor-baiter in the General Assembly, by loudly spon- soring such anti-union, reactionary measures as his proposal for conn., pulsory incorporation of labor unions.
 2. Such legislation would be strictly "class legislation" because there is no corresponding proposal by MT. Blansfield to require the compulsory incorporation of all manufacturing and business con- cerns, or of the Manufacturers Association.
