 BE NAMED QUINCY
Shipyard Workers Re. quested Navy to Replace
 Lost Sea Cruiser

Quincy, Mass, Oct. 13 -(UP)- Workers at the Bethlehem Steel Co.'s Fore river shipyard here, where the lost cruisers Quincy and Vincennes were built, today wired Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and Massachusetts congressman, urging that one of the several cruisers now under construction at the yard be given the name of Quincy.
 The telegram, signed by William H. Norton, president of the inde- pendent union of Fore River ship yard workers, and William G. Mo Dermott, chairman of the shipyard war production committee, read:
 ''The historic city of Quincy, where two presidents were born and the cruisers Quincy and Vincennes were built, should always be rep resented by a cruiser Quincy this, we are sure, would add great impetus to the war production eff fort at this yard"

Many Axis Planes Shot

 Valetta, Oct. 13 (UP0 - Twenty-four Axis planes were shot down and 50 damaged yesterday in a series of heavy, savage attacks on this British citadel in the mid Mediterranean, it was announced to- day.
 The days bag brought the total of enemy planes downed since Sat- urday to 41, in addition to scores damaged, some of them so badly that they probably crashed at sea.
 So ferocious were the German and Italian attacks, despite their cost in planes, that many observers be- heved they foretold an early re- sumption of big scale fighting on the Alamein front in North Africa.
 It was indicated that Field Mar Shal Erwin Rommel, the Axis com mander, either hoped to start a new attack himself or was trying des- perately to reinforce his desert army to meet British attack, using the planes which are attacking Nal ta as a screen to cover conveys.
 The attacks occur every two hours In one raid yesterday small fish, ing village was heavily bombed and almost every family in it suffered casualties. Some 250 raiders were over the island.
 The lull in Egyptian fighting has persisted almost unbroken since Rommel was halted in the Alamein area with the help of supplies rush. ed from the United States. It is said unofficially in London that Malta recently received large fighter (Continued on Page 4)

 Talk of Second Front
BY LYLE c. WILSON

United Press StaKf COfreSpOnuentJ
 Washington, Oct. 13.-WP)- President Roosevelt carried the war of nerves against the Axis into an- other phase today with a pledge of new military offensives not only to give Russia second front relief but to draw Japanese fire from the Chinese.
 The Axis own war of nerves has boomeranged, MT. Roosevelt reported last night in 8 fireside chat. It was broadcast throughout the world and continues today to be broad cast to many lands in many Ian guages.
 ''For the first time." MT. Roose- welt said, "the NaM propaganda ma chine is on the defensive. They begin to apologize. to 1.eir own peo- pie for the repulse of their vast forces at Stalingrad, and for the enormous casualties they are suf- fering.

 Reports circulated in Stockholm that the entire Danish cabinet hao been interned, but dispatches said these reports were denied.

 It was reported that Luedka had been dismissed because he ordered the shooting of two memebrs of the

 MT. Roosevelt set no time limit for the drafting of IS and 19-year- -olds, but the War eDpartment wants to begin as soon as possible.
 Legislation is pending in both House and Senate and immediately following MT.

Gurney as- stunned that his request would be granted in view of the Presidents recommendation.
 After reviewing manpower needs as he saw them in his recent trans continental war inspection trip, the President told his radio audience:

MERCHANTS DID
 THEIR JOB WELL
Sidewalks Before Stores Were Filled With Scrap
 Metal This Morning

Waterbury merchants went "all- out" for the war effort this morn ing, covering the sidewalks and curbs of the downtown section with scrap metal. Everything from nails and wire to stoves, refrigerators and boilers could be seen on the streets as almost everyone of the 1,20O retail stores in this city closed until noon today to hunt for scrap
 Many of the employees who aided in removing the scrap from the stores felt that they did more work than they would do on an ordinary sales day. Tn many of the stores, the workers showed up in old clothes, in preparation for a "big day" From the size of many of the scrap piles, they were not dis appointed.
 Some Ancient Scrap
 Although the main purpose of the drive was to collect scrap for the war effort, 1t appears that many store owners felt 1t was a good time to start a general cleanup. Much of the scrap turned in looked as though 1t had not seen the light ot day for many years. After seeing

American Navy Paid Great
 Price To Capture Islands
Bitter Winter Weather Strikes Mad Fighters On Russian Fronts
Russians Have Started One of Tank Factories
 in City of Stalingrad
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent

Limited Press Stan COrreSp0ndent)
 Moscow, Oct. 13. (UP)-Bitter winter weather gripped the Mozdok area of the eastern Caucasus today as armored trains blasted out 8. patch for the advancing Red army.
 The defenders of Stalingrad beat of German attacks and set them selves for 8 renewed grand scale assault against the ruins they now had held for 50 days.
 Pravda, the Communist party or- gan, published pictures of Red army men fighting in the Mosdok area. They were wearing winter battle dress, with heavy great coats and fur caps, with flaps down and fast ened over their ears.
 The cold in the Mozdok, area, in in the foothills of the Caucasus mountains, already was becoming intense, dispatches said. Normally, heavy blizZards begin in that area by the middle of next month, but ice coats the narrow trails weeks earlier and makes travelling over them almost impossible.
 A big battle ragged in the MozdoE area south of the Terek river, where the Germans, fighting time as well as the attacking Russians, were try ing to drive to the nearby Grozny Oil fields.
 Still in Stalingrad
 The Soviet noon communique re- ported both Russian and German attacks inside Stalingrad. The Ger mans tried again to break through a factory settlement in northwest Stalingrad. They were beaten of and 250 of them were killed.
 Fifty German tanks and 5000 men attacked in the same area yesterday, breaking a three-day Hull in the battle. They gained slightly, but at the prohibitive price of 2,000 men killed and 20 tanks destroyed. (C0ntinlled on Page Al

Three Heavy Cruisers Los. to Japs Have All Been
 Replaced ALLIED STRATEGY IS INVOLVE IN SOL ONIONS Heroes of Naval Battles ir Islands Have Been All Decorated
tunited Press stasf correspondent,

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, October 13. (UP) - The navy, having reinforced it's fleet in the South Pacific to replace the lost heavy cruisers, Quincy, Astoria and Vincennes, indi- cated today that it intends to hold its gains in the Solo mon Islands at any cost. The United States paid a heavy price for footholds in the Solomons, but the implication was clear that they were worth the price, and more.
 The whole Allied strategy in the South Pacific is involved in the Solomons operation. To those who would discount the importance of the islands, the Navy replied that this is what the Japanese could do if they had been permitted to con- trol them:
 Launch a sea-borne thrust at Port Darwin and Australia.
 Threaten American supply lines to Australia and New Zealand.
 Threaten islands basis in New HerbrideS, New Calendonia and the Fiji Islands.
 That warning by the Navy dis. closed for the first time that the United States has 8 base in the New Hebrides Islands = to the south east of the Solomons and to the north of New Calendonia.
 The loss of the three warships was revealed in 8 naval communique late yesterday more than two months after the devastating night battle in which they were destroyed. Mili- tary security made it necessary to withhold the information, the Navy said, and it was presumed here that it was withheld until naval rein- forcementS had arrived to replace them.
 Worst Since Pearl Harbor
 Their loss plus the loss of the Australian cruiser Canberra, previ- ously announced, was the worst blow suffered by the U. s. fleet since Pearl Harbor. There were many casualties, although 8 majority of the personnel of the Australian and the three American ships were saved.
 The battle raised to nine the American combatant and non-com- batant ships sunk since the offens- i've started in the Solomons on Au- gust T, and increased to 52 naval yeSseds lost from all causes since the war started.
 There was one bright spot in tho latest communique on the Solomons that despite the admittedly we'll executed Japanese attack on the American naval vessels, the enemy was prevented from attacking the transports and supply ships effect ing the landing operations.
 The extent of damage inflicted Cn the Japanese force is not known, but it is believed to have been ex- tansive. Otherwise, the enemy nAval force would have attacked the rel. atively unprotected transports and supply ships. Instead 1t withdrew ts the north.
 The battle between the American naval vessels which were protecting landing operations, and the Jap aneSe force was @ dramatic nigh affair at close range.
 Started At Night j The naval communiQue reveale. that the attack started at l:45 &. m on the night of August 6-9 whel enemy aircraft dropped flares ove American transports and suppl, ships north of Guadalcanal. Tn flares lighted the way for the ene,n, destroyers and cruisers which open
