 T wish to state that I gave the links to Commander Aroff in deep appreciation" he said. T was very impressed by what he told me when I received my commission-that the Navy was the greatest thing in the world and that I should study and take advantage of my opportuni- ties"

(COnGl0ueQ rom rage 4.D the need the country has for scrap metal. Therefore I am positive that every Waterburian will participate wholeheartedly and that the city will attain its goal of 50 pounds of scrap for each of the 26,ooo homes in Waterbury," Proceeds from the sale of the metal will be given to the Navy Re- lief Fund.
 As each truck Is filled, it will take its load to the Commercial Iron and Metal Company. There, metal ex. perts from local factories will super wise sorting and valuation of the metal.
 More than 40 trucks will take part In the "raid". All city trucks will bd used, the services of the other vehi. cles having been donated by fac tories and individuals. Many volun- teers will serve as helpers to the drivers.
 States Quota
 The scrap metal raid" here to- morrow will be part of the state- wide drive being held in all size- able cities and towns. The state quota is 17,616,000 pounds.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully has strongly endorsed the metal collec- ton campaign. He has issued a proclamation asking the public to cooperate fully.
 Tin cans are not wanted tomor- row, but scrap metal of any other kind will be welcomed.
 The "raid" is in charge of 8 com. mittee consisting of MT. Upson, Mrs Henry A. Hayden, Albert L. Martin, Don Swinton, Raymond J. Fitzpat- rick. Thomas O'Dea, Paul Reed, Thomas F. ,Bane, Erwin Frey, James Parker, Frank Summa, Frank J. Green and Miss Nancy Delaney.
 Chairman's Statement
 Said Chairman Upson today:
 "As the war effort becomes moro Intensive on the various foreign fronts the need for scrap materials has steadily increased"
 MT. Upson added:
 'The American steel industry this year hopes to produce record- breaking 85 million tons of steel as much as all foreign countries put together can make. Our coun. try alone is going to turn out three tons of steel for every two tons the Axis produce"
 Appealing to every man, woman and child in the city to spend to- day and tonight searching their cellars, their attics, their garages and barns for salvage material. MT Upson said:
 Every ton of scrap we can seno them will swell our national pro- duction of tanks, ships, planes and guns." J MT. Epson declared that" ap inc creasing number of Waterbury boys are already in the service and more will follow them." He added that i've on the home front must see to it that industry engaged in supply ing them with weapons of war shall not want for materials needed for these war supplies"
 The salvage committee chairman added that every housewife in the city can aid the scrap raid" to- morrow. He said each woman can and should carefully inspect all of her house furnishings to find out what equipment she has that has outlived Its usefulness. He addedS
 An old iron pot or knife in the kitchen, the steel springs of an old upholstered chair in the attic, some discarded pipe or heating equip ment, unused wire clothes hangers in closets these are 2 few q tns items that will provide pounds and pounds of scrap"

 Call At Stalingrad

enemy in the region of voronezh, as well as Tsimlyanskaya, south and southeast of Bataisk and southwest of Kletskaya," the communique said. There were no changes on other sectors.
 Tsimylanskaya is half way be- tween Rostov and Stalingrad. The Germans have been trying to drive across the Don there and at Klet- skaya and catch the great bend of the Don and Stalingrad, 50 miles be- yond in great pincers.
 Front-line dispatches reported that an unparalleled battle" con- tinued to rage along the 125-mile front from Tsimlyanskaya to Ba- taisk and that Russian resistance was stiff fening against continually arriving enemy endorsements.
 The Soviet Army organ said there was considerable improvemtnt on one sector, although the situation at Bataisk renined grave. Southeast and south of BataiSk our men repulsed attacks by large enemy forces supported by tanks and large number of planes" the noon communique said. At the cost of the highest losses, the Germans succeeded in advancing slightly" On one sector in the Bataisk area, the Russians managed to establish favorable defense line, counter attacked and compelled the Ger mans to throw in reserves, a dis patch from the front said. Fierce tank battles followed, and some panzers penetrated Russian depth defenses. Ignoring enormous" losses the Germans maintained their pressure and the Russians had to retire.
 Withstand Attacks
 Other Soviet units in the Bataisk area withstood repeated tank at- tacks and merciless bombings to hold their positions.
 Red Star said the Germans aimed to seize favorable positions to de- velop their offensive and urged "the stubborn retention of each line and relentless bleeding of the enemy's strength"
 Premier Joseph Stalin had order ed the army to stop retreating, stand and fight to the death.
 The Russians slowly and steadily pressed back the Germans on the northern end of the Don front at Voronezh, and the government or gan Izvestia said Soviet soldiers had repulSed an Hungarian attack and seized favorable height on the west bank of the Don. | The power of the Russian offen- sive at Voronezh was increasing daily, Izvestia said. The Red Air force intensified its attacks on Ger man motorized and mechanized col umns depots and troop concentr&- tions. Russian flyers started 1T fires and observed seven big explosions after one series of attacks.
 Artillery wiped out units of the German 593rd Infantry Regiment trying to reach an enemy bridge head.
 The noon communique reported lighting of local character around Bryansk, southwest ot Moscow. Int enemy having received achievements, attack ed on one sector, it said. The at- tack was met by the concentrated fire of Soviet trench mortars and began falling back. Soviet soldiers taking advantage of the confusion broke into German positions and seized a fortified point.

AMERICAN AIR
 FORCES GATHER

(Continued from Page 1.) fighters it is believed, or at least hoped, that American and British ingenuity will prove superior to the German builders and designers. Some of the new types of American planes naturally are highly secret, so comparisons are not possible. However, informed sources believe they can outmatch anything the Germans have yet sent into the air.
 The best thing the Germans have shown 50 far is the new Focke-Wulff 19O, which at present is figuring fre- quently in the news. It Is admit tedly an excellent plane, with great speed, maneuverability and climb ing power.
 Air Ministry Silent
 The air ministry is reticent about comparing it's capabilities with those of Spitflre Mark 5, the best British plane so far in action. How ever, from what pilots say, the FW 190 apparently is a close match for the Spitfires and under certain spe- cial conditions might have the bulge. It is most efIicient at great heights. However, British pilots say that up to 35,000 feet the Spitfires still are equal if not better, citing an action of 10 days ago in which a Spitfire squadron engaged an equal number of Germans. The British lost three planes and the Germans nine.
 According to available data, the Focke-Wulff has a speed of 370 miles per hour at 1900 0feet while the Mark is said to be able to do over 400. As for the German Messer- schmitts, the British say they have nothing to fear from them, and that the SpitfireS can fly rings around them and outshoot them.
 With regard to the American planes, one of the American pilots told Downs, pointing to his ship: She'll fly higher, faster and longer than anything on this side of the Atlantic"
