 tO Be Fatal

A 25-foot fall from a second floor veranda caused fatal injuries early this morning to Mrs. Angelina Pi- sano, 76. of 1278 North Main street.

 A member of the family told Cor oner McNif that Mrs. Pisano may have taken one of her customary fainting spells. The veranda is en- closed and in order to reach the clothes line she had to open a screened window and lean out.
 Motor Patrolman James Sweeney assisted in the investigation.
 Multiple Injuries

Battle In Egypt Most Important At Present
Should Field Marshal ROmmeI Break Through British Lines, the Eastern Mediterranean Will Be
 Lost to Allies
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War Desl

If Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's new attack in Egypt signifies the resumption of a major effort to drive to Alexandria and Suez, it is bound to result in the hardest fight ing of the north African war. Its outcome will be of tremendous im- portance.
 Should Rommel break through, the eastern Mediterranean will be lost to the British and the Axis will dominate the entire sea. Not only will the southern road to the oil of the middle east be opened, but the Axis would have a clear field in all North Africa. That includes the west coast, across from South Amer lea.
 On the other hand, Rommel's de- feat, if decisive. might enable the British to sweep the Axis entirely out of Africa and regain control of the Mediterranean, which would be tragic for Italy. The stakes are high and the British are ready to carry ouI Prime Minister ChuTchili's pledge to defend Egypt as though it were their own soil.
 It could be that Rommel is mak- ing only a preliminary thrust to test British strength but it seems more likely that he Is emhaFlEing on his final bid. There would be no point in his sitting indefinitely in the narrow stretch of blazing desert between the oattaFa Depression and the sea.
 Rommel ls known to have been reinforced heavily. including at least one fresh division from Crete and .

 Moscow, September. 1.e- (UP) - Soviet and Axis troops traded counter blows in some of the heaviest fight ing of the war on the Stalin- grad front today with the Russians driving a wedge in- to Italian lines northwest of the Volga city but falling back under German pessure to the southwest. The Soviet high command reported that the score was about even and that there had been TO material change in the situ- ati0n in the last 12 hours.
 Tue Russians were striving des- perately to develop flanking threat to the Axis attackers and managed to recross the Don river northwest of Sballngfad by puncturing positions held by Italian troops.
 They also launched ar attack by low-flying Stormavik bornbers and mine throwers on Nazi supply col unn which was trying to cross the Don to the northewest under the protection of tank units.
 The supply column was seeking to reinforce German armored and motorized divisions whose advance had been brought to a halt by So- viet counter-attacks in the last AS hours.
 The Nad Luftwaffe attempted to supply these troops with food and ammunition by parachute but was

LAURENCE KENNY
 VERY CONFIDENT
Believes, From Pledges He Has Received, NOnlina-
 ton Will Come His Way
(NEA Telephoto)

Laurence Kenny, former president of the East End Community club, today expressed great optimism over his chances of capturing the Demo- cratic congressional nomination in the fifth district. He said delegates in towns all over the district have rallied to his support and expressed confidence he would be the nomi- nee.
 'The pledges I have received and the support have been promised make me feel very confident will be chosen at the district conven- tion", said MT. Kenny. T believe I have every reason to feel encour- aged.
 T am especially grateful for the statement by Mayor Scully that the Waterbury delegation will give me its support. My name will not, only go before the convention, but I will be in there fighting all the time and I believe will win"
 MT. Kenny and his supporters dispute claims the nomination seems virtually assured for Mayor William A. Patten of Torrington. As a mat ter of fact, they assert, they have greater delegate strength than Mir. Patten.
 4 total of i06 votes is needed to win the nomination. WateFbury's 40 will start ilr. Kenny of with d. most half that total.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully said yes- tegday If he comes into the con- vention we will support him., the reference being to MT. Kenny. As the latteFs statement today shows, he will be in the convention cons test.
 MT. Kenny's campaign has been aggressive, though he has naturally been hampeFed by lack of . politi- cal organization.

 Sneak Attack on U. s. :
Ry United Press,

Japan announced today that For eign Minister Shigenori Togo had resigned in the first major Japa- nese cabinet change since the Pacific war started.
 It was announced that Gen Hideki Tojo. the premier. war min- ister and home minister. had as- sumed the foreign ministry.
 Tokyo said that the resignation of Togo was due. to personal rea- sons, which were not specified.
 Speculation arose at once whether there had been a Japanese cabinet split on the issue of war with Rus sia, for which Germany was Fe- ported pressing.
 News of the resignation Of the number two man in the Japanese cabinet came on the leth anntver- sagy of the great earthquake which nearly destroyed Tokyo and Yoke- hama. killed ee.33l persons and sent millions of American mercy dollars to the relief of Japanese sufferers.

BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Sept 1.-(UP)-FieId Marshal Erwin Rommel, with reorganized, reinforced army includ ing two parachute regiments has hit the British line i Egypt in the first phase of supreme Axis attempt to break through to the Nile and the Suez Canal the war office revealed today.
 ATTACKED AT DAWN YESTERDAY
 Picked German forces led by tanks moved out ats dawn yesterday against 80 miles from Alexandria, base of the Mediterranean fleet 120 miles from the Nile and 210 miles from Suez. At the time the Italians struck at the British center and were thrown back with losses
 AFTER FIVE WEEKS REST
 office special communque reported Romnnel'x move after fyeweek pause during which both sides had been regrouped and reinforced and the British had been entrusted to General Harold R. L. G. Alexander It said it was too early to tell whether the German Italian forces had opened major offensive.
 FALL CAMPAIGN HAS BEGUN
 But 1t was believed certain that the fall campaign h the Near East perhaps the greatest and most important there of the which entered it's fourth year today was under way The Aamein line was temporary one or which the British made stand to stop the Axis Offensive which took Rommel 100 miles Lbya and 250 miles into Egypt two months ago. It indicated that if omme after feeling out the British ne felt it inadvsabe to pursue full scale offensive the British Imperial forces would themselves attack.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-01

For days dispatches from Egypi had minated that the break was about to come. Shortly after mid night this morning the war ofIice is. sued the following communique:
 For some days past there had been signs of renewed activity ou Field Marshal Rommel's front and early Monday morning German forces including armored. pushetl forward against our southern flank in the neighborhood of Fl Himei- mat, where they were immediateIy engaged by our light forces, and fighting is proceeding.
 Tt is not yet certain that the en- emy'S offensive is on a major scale.
 "A weak enemy thrust, mainly bv Italians, against our main front was repulsed with loss to the enemy.
 The Himiemat hill near which Rommel opened his attack is about eight miles from the almost impass sable Quattara salt bog depression which forms the southern end oi the Alamein line.
 It is the most conspicuous peak fu the entire area. FOO feet high and 17 miles west of the end of the derres- sion.
 The British had taken for their stand after the retreat from Libga the narrowest part of the area be- tween the sea and the depression. and they had to defend front of only about S6 miles. An advance of i7 miles from Fl Himiemat would permit the Axis forces 60 fan down southward. having passed the east. err end of the depression.
 Naxis Have Big Army
 Rommel started his attack with an army which included the veteran German 18th and 2ist armored dI. visions, the German e0th light fss vision, an elite corps called here fIie best in the German army; the nov ie4fh German infantry dixigInN from Crete. one German narachn.t regiment. the Italian LittarIo anf Arlete armoTed divisions, the rehalH Italian e0th infantry division. anl Italian paraehutist regiment aNt several intalian infantry dlElxlnns most of them held ln reserve.

 In the center, Australians defend ing the 5000 foot pass overthe owen Stanley Mountains hurled back a Japanese infantry attack, backed by machine guns and automatic rifles, south of Kokoda with the aid of fighter planes which raked the enemy positions with their guns.
