NO COMMUNIQUE
 ON STALINCRAD
(By United Pressl

For the first time since German troops penetrated Stalingrad the German high command today failed to mention operations within the city itself In its daily communique.
 This obviously did not mean that fighting is not continuing in Stal- ingrals streets. but it could signify that the Germans had no favorable news to report and therefore chose to remain silent.
 The high commands comment on the battle of stalingrad was con- fined to two sentences: Northwest ofg staiingrad the ring was tight cned around enemy forces enclrcled there. German and Rumanian air forces effectively raided Soviet air- ports and supply routes on both sides of the Volga river"

10 NORWEC|ANS
 ARE EXECUTED
Germans Move to End Sa= bOtage Spreading Wide=
 ly Through Norway
By JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent


 London, Oct. 7.-(UP)-Ten prom inent Norwegians have died before firing squad and hundreds are under arrest in the beginning of a ruthless German drive to end sabo- tage and other patriot activities spreading through Norway, Stock holm reported today.
 One of the Norwegians was be- neved to be patriot who had joined the Quisling traitor organization in order to do his work more effective ly, as the German-controlled Oslo radio called him gauleiter, or dis trict leader.
 Others executed within few hours of the imposition of state of emer- gency, an invasion alert and an 8 p. m.-5 a. m. curfew in a wide area of the coast around Trondheim in- cluded two lawyers, an architect, a theater manager, an editor, an en- gineer, 8 banker, a ship broker and business man.
 The patriot mentioned as a gau- letter, and also captain presumably of the Norwegian army, was charged with sabotage against industrial or ganizationS supplying the Norwegian people.
 There were increasing indications that the Germans were worried over the continued spread of sabotage in Norway and there were reports in Stockholm that it had been aimed both at factories in the Trondheim area and the vitally inn portant railroad running from Trondheim to the north which is used for supplying north Norway German garrisons.
 Josef Terboven, German overlorc of Norway, arrived at Trondhein last night and at once warned Nor wegians that the time had come foI the Germans to take "severe coun- ter measures" and that a difficult time was ahead for all Norwegians 'even those who are innocent"
 Sabotage by patriots was only one (Continued on Page A

GOVERNMENT WILL
 SPEND MANY $$$
Public Debt by Next June Will Be Nearing Tril=
 lion Mark

Washington, Oct. 7.-(UP)-For the information of federal taxpay- CTS, including some newcomers whose wages barely exceed SIP 8 week, the budget bureau announced that today the government expects in this fiscal year to spend $85,- 183, ,000, ,000-enough to send the pub- lie debt by the end of next June to Is per cent of & trillion dollars ($1 ,OOO, OO,0OO, ,0OO).
 Budget Director Harold D. Smith uttered an imitation warning that the governments borrowing from the public would have to provide about 70 per cent of the money.
 Borrowing such an amount" he said, which exceeds the probable volume of individual and business savings, will create excessive pur- chasing power and endanger the economic stabilization program"
 He advocated higher social se- curity taxes as a further anti-in- flation brake. The estimated defi- cit for the fiscal year which ends next June will be $63, 3,060 000, 900 That will send the national debt to $l40,05 100000 by June 30, l943 when the current fiscal year ends The national debt as of October 2 was $9l ,227 100000.

 Ends In Vermont

Montpelier, Vt. Oct. 17-(UP) The war of 1872 was officially at the end in Vermont today.
 The Vermont Supreme Court yesterday awarded $22,6OS i'm fees to lawyers who recovered from U. s. Treasury $90,0OO plus interest that the state contributed to the Federal Government for the prosecution of tho war.

British Planes Raid Osna= bruCk-U. s. Planes
 Ready to Attack
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE United Press Staff COrrespOndentl

London, October '. - (UP) - British planes in their fourth big raid in six days strongly attacked the great communications center of Osnabruck in northwestern Ger many last night at the cost of six planes.
 They attacked the Flensburg sub- marine center near the Baltic coast last Thursday, Krefeld and the Rhineland industrial area Friday, and Essen and western Germany Monday night when a newly formed French Canadian bomber squad went into action with the Royal Air Force for the first time.
 As the British night raiders re- turned, giant United States Army Bombers were poised at the starting lines of secret bases awaiting orders to back up warning that they were ready to join in new nonstop day and night attack on war industry targets in occupied France.
 There was every indication that the strengthened army air force was really ready to get going. The unpredictable weather of northern Europe and the number of bombers available were still limiting factors. But after a slow beginning the strength of the army bomber force was now reaching the point where with daylight high altitude precis- ion attacks the army planes could extend Britain's night bombing pro gram into round the clock Anglo American offensive on factories and railroads which feed the German war machine and the ports which shelter its submarines.
 The Boeing Flying F'ortresses of the Army Air Force in their small scale raids so far had set up an amazing record for accuracy and for intrepidity against attacking Ger man fighter planes.
 | The German air force, busy on the Russian front, was in no posi- tion to start trading blows against the combined British and American forces. But in the days of its great est superiority over then tiny Royal Air Force, Germany never had a force which could match the air power now concentrated against it.
 The new Mosquito Medium Bombers of the Royal Air Force had now added their numbers to the raiders and last evening, flying so | (Continued on Page 4)

MARRIED MEN TOBE CALLED
 AS SELECTEES Men With Collateral De- pendents Also Due to Be Drafted FOUR LOCAL BOARDS
 EXHAUST RESERVES Few 1 A Men Left in Any BOard-FaCtOry WOrk4
 CTS to Be Replaced

Waterbury's four Selective Service Boards will begin calling up men with collat- eral dependents and married men within the next month, a survey by The Democrat showed today. The boards are all virtually without any IA registrants and will have to bring in many men now classified in 3-A or other dependency claSsifications. Early service is also facing many who now have industrial defer ment0, as well as many who are now classified as 1-B because of minor physical defects.
 The boards are already sending out notices to a large quota of men to report for physical examinations at Hartford soon. This group will begin its military training early in November.
 44@AAAAS N-DOSNA
 Boards 15-B, 16-A and 16-B re- ported today that their reservoirs of 1-A men are virtually exhausted and that calls to married men and men who list relatives as depell- dents will have to begin next month or, at the latest, in December. No information was available from Board 15-A, but the same situation is said to prevail there.
 Major William Averill, acting di- rector of Selective Service for the state, said at Hartford today that boards all over the state report great dearth of 1-A registrantS and that induction of married men and men with collateral dependents will have to begin within few weeks, The first calls, he said, would go to men who list collateral dependents, such as parents, grandparents brothers and sisters. Married men without children will next be called Eventually the call will, have to be extended to take in married men with children, those with the few est children being summoned first
 Women to Replace Men
 Men called to service from fac- tory jobs will have to be replaced by women, Major Averill said.
 Women" he stated, twill have to be used in industry. The days of warning are ended"

PRESIDENT WILL
 SEE GOVERNORS
Conference With New Eng- land Officials on Oil Set
 for Tuesday

Boston, oct. 7-(UP)- President Roosevelt agreed today to confer witE: the c;E New Englan& govexn0rs in Washington next Tuesday reia- tive to this regions critical fuel oil situation.
 Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Mas sachusetts, chairman of the gover- nors' committee, announced the re- ceipt from Presidential Secretary Edwin M. Watson the following tel- egram:
 T gave the president your tele- gram and he still wants you to see Secretary Ickes first. After you have seen Ickes, let us know when you are ready and we will arrange short appointment for you and com mittee with president"
 When the governors requested an interview with MT. Roosevelt last week, he replied with Q suggestion that they confer instead with Fed- eral Petroleum Coordinator Harold L. Ickes. The governors sent an- other wire to the president, how- ever, renewing their request for c personal interview, which was granted today.

OIuC6u OCdG6S. ACGlOE 6ScTELdEy Ol State Sumner WeIles, who signed ir behalf of the United States, saic earlier in the week that the amount of aid which would be sent to Russia was immeasurable.
 The review of the whole situation was ordered to determine if the flow to Soviet Russia of vital1y needed materials could possibly be speeded up or increased in quantity.
 A painstaking analysis of the methods employed may reveal, it is thought, short cuts where red tape may be cut to make the aid more effective.
 The protocol formalizes a series of arrangements which the United States has made with the Soviet, dating back to the Moscow confer ence of a year ago - before the United States entered the war. It also embraces whatever commit mentS were made during the evisit to the United States of the Soviet Foreign Commissar, V. M. Molotoff.
 Neither of those arrangements was made public in detail. Last November, however, there was a personal communication between President Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin in which the United States made available to the Soviets a $1,0O0, ,00O, ,000, non- interest bearing loan.
 The question of opening second front is not involved in the cur- rent study, although it is of supreme importance in the councils of mili- tary leaders. While there may be some disagreement on the advis- ability of timing of an attack upon Germany that will ease the pressure of the Red Armies, there is nore whatever on the neces- sity of getting supplies to Russia.
 The Stalin statement in Moscow on Sunday, expressing disappoint- ment in the extent of Allied aid, has been the subject of the most care full scrutiny here. There is con- nection between that statement and the forthcoming return for consul tations of Admiral William H. Standley, the American ambassador to the Soviet Union. Standley may be able to clarify one section of the Stalin declaration that has puzzled officials here Stalin's reference to the obligations" of the Soviet Unions allies.

 U. s. Controls Air Still
By sANDoR S. KLEIN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Oct. 7-(UP)-Amer- ican positions in the Solomon Is lands were believed today to be more seriously menaced than at any time since the Marines landed there early in August.
 That belief prevailed principally because of the continued landing of Japanese reinforcements on Guad- alcanal-the key of, the American defense in the islands-and despite the fact that American flyers are maintaining air superiority in that area.
 Latest words on the battle of the Solomons revealed that another Japanese attempt to bomb American installations on Guadalcanal ended in ignominious failure.
 Seven Navy Wildcat Grumman fighters went up to meet 30 Zero fighters which were accompanying "a small group of Japanese bomb- ers." The bombers were sent scur- rying before dropping their bombs and II of the Zeros were shot down The other 19 turned tail and ran for home, humiliated by an American fighter force less than one-quarter the enemy's original size.
 The Wildcats shot down nine and anti-aircraft fire accounted for the other two. One Wildcat was lost, but its pilot was saved.
 Intensive activity by American airmen is not preventing the Japan csc landing operations, although the last one was hampered by an attack by American dive bombers and tor pedo planes which left a heavy cruiser smoking after one bomb hit

 AMONG INVERNESS
100 Now Believed to Be at Vittel-HartfOrd Nun
 Among Them

Wchy, Oct. 7.-(UP)-About 100 American women have now been interned by German occupation au- thorities at Vittel, it was understood today.
 Numerous French women who ac- quired American citizenship by marrying Americans have been freed, but others refused to claim their French origin and prefer in- ternment as Americans.
 Tn women have the freedom of a large barbed-wired compound with in which are three hotels, Casino, theater and a park. They are crowded with British women in- termed since the fall of France, four and five to room because of lack of sleeping accommodations. Their meals are cooked in the kitchens of the Grand Hotel, based on the Ger man civil ration standard.
 Many of the American women lack clothing and toilet necessaries but Mrs. Laura Corrigan, philan- thropist of Cleveland, has sent pack ages to them, containing soap, face cream. cigarettes, woolens and food sLuffs and arranged to have pack ages sent regularly.
 About $50 American men are now prisoners in occupied territory About 150 have been released. Some remain at the internment camp at St. Denis, others have been sent to a permanent internment prison at Compiegne.
 Through indirect agencies the American embassy has received a list of American women arrested. IL is now checking the list against passport records before notifying the state department.
 From the embassy list the United Press was able to make the follow ing selection of names of American born women, some of whom may possibly have been freed by now.
