Pedestrian Hit
By Auto Suffers
Fractured Skull

Louis Varrone, 46, of Is Henry
street, sustained fractured
skull at 6:55 this morning when
struck by an automobile which
police say was operated by Henry
Vanasse, 20, of 22O South Elm
street. Authorities at Waterbury,
hospital described Varrone's con-
ditiOn as "fair" and said that his
name is not on the danger list.
VarrOne was struck and knocked
down at the corner of WATERFOWL
avenue and Henry street. Follow
ing an investigation of the acct
dent by Motor PatrOlman Joseph
LOvalIO Vanasse was arrested on
charges Of violation of the rules
of the road and failure to notify
the motor vehicles department of
change Of address.
Shortly after the accident it
was reported that Varrone's name
was on the hospital danger list
and Coroner William Hennessy or
dered Vanasse held for question:
ing by him. When 1t became
known that Varrone apparently
was not in serious condition, Cor
Oner Hennessy withdrew from the
case.

The British withdrawal probably
had enabled the invaders to funne
their forces into stronger spear
head in the southern sector
West of the SalWeen, Burma bears
the appearance of knubby shoe
with Rangoon at the ball of the
foot. The battle zone is in the higf
heel, and fighting steadily is mount
ing toward the Rangoon-Man
railroad-first portion of the Burma
Road-Which is at the instep.
Shorten Battle Line
BY withdrawing northwestwarc
from the heel sector, the British
have shortened their battle line
measured from Papun, nearly &C
miles.
The same maneuver, however
probably has permitted the japanese
to join their forces which struck
across the Salween in a pincers
drive from Martaban at the heel
tip, and from Pam, 30 miles north
of Martaban.
All HAf' cOfnmunlque SAID our
bombers and fighters have attacked
enemy positions in the Papun area
probably indicating that the Jap
anese have started new thrust to
the west.
Papun is 10 miles west of the Sal
Ween where it forms. Burma's bor-
der with Northern Thailand. 1t is
100 miles north of Martaban and
almost due north Of the Japanese
lines in the south.
Fighting in the zone had not been
mentioned previously.
AS the Japanese threat to Ran
COON, to India and the Burma Road
mounted, Imperial reinforcements
continued to pour in.

Needs Exceed Quota
In War Fund Drive,
Workers Are Warned
Advance Gifts Unit
Is Called on by Akers
Far RedoubIed Efforts

The Community War Fund cam
paign faces 3 serious task because Of
the increased needs of all 120 agen-
cies whose yearly budgets will be
provided for in the campaign to
start October ~.
This was stressed yesterday by
Floyd D. Akers, campaign chairman
as he called on the Advance Gifts
Unit of. the campaign at luncheon
meeting yesterday at the Willard
Hotel for redoubled efforts.
Rising costs have increased the
potential expenses of operation Of
all the 120 agencies included in the
campaign, Mr.. Akers said, quoting 4
report from Herbert L. Willett, who
is an official Of both the Community
Chest, and the War Fund.
Need Exceeds Goal.
In order to meet the needs of
these agencies, it will be necessary
for the war-fund campaign to ex-
ceed the goal of 81, ,l41 600, Mr.. Akers
emphasized. The goal itself cannot
be changed, but the need already
has gone up, he explained.
Reports to the luncheon meeting
from various divisions of the Ad-
vance Gifts Unit showed more
money than the first report last
week, but decline in the average
gift. No figures were released for
publication-only the trend.
A stirring appeal to the workers
to provide help for their "fellow-
beings, in the image of God" was
made by Josef Meier, 1.-The Christus"
of the Passion Play, now running
at Constitution Hall.
The principles of democracy and
of the Constitution Of the United
States itself, Mr.. Meier said, grew
out OF a man who showed us 1000
years ago the way of peace, the
way of service to our fellowmen."
In days to come there will be
much heavier demands on facilities
to meet needs in this heart of a
great Nation he said. The various
institutions are ready to serve more
completely these needs"
Senator Gurney Speaks.
Arguments against giving, he said,
all could be combatted 80 easily"
to persuade donors to help pre-
serve our way of living, and look to
a happier and brighter future"
May your love for your neighbor,
for your country" he admonished,
"be your inspiration in your work. :"
Mr.. Meier was introduced by
Senator Gurney Of South Dakota,
who characterized the war fund
drive here as a crusade"
Presiding at the luncheon was
Abbott P. Mills, vice chairman of
the Advance Gifts Unit.
The next luncheon report meet
ing will be held Tuesday.
