Battered Troops
Rally Defense
Of SevostopoI

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 30.-Soviet
troops on the Kursk front above
Kharkov have cut off German
infantry forces which pierced
their lines in several sectors and
more than 200 Nazi tanks have
been smashed in two days, the
army publication Red Star re-
ported today in the first detailed
account of the massive new bat
tie raging in that area.
The front-line account said Mar
shal Simion Timoshenko's defenders
closed in quickly behind the wedges
driven by the Nazis before support
ing tanks could be brought up in
this battle which perhaps represents
the beginning of Hitler's general Of
fensive up and down the front.
With the enormous tank losses
inflicted on the Germans, Red Star
said much of the sting had been
drained from the German attack
and that Red defenders hurled back
subsequent German attacks.
In the two other violently active
battle sectors, Sevastopols war

positions from which they launched

Soviet artillery, anti-tank bat

grenades and bottles of gasoline met
the advancing tanks and slowed
them down while Red infantrymen
closed the breaches torn by Hitler's

BY am. on the first day OF the
German offensive, the battlefield
was cluttered with the burned out
and exploded chassis of SO German

District Housing Bill
Goes 10 President;
324 Million Voted
Senate Approves PIon
To Allow 100000
For Family Dwellings
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Congress completed action to-
day on the S32 100000 bill tc
house Government war workers
in and around Washington, when
the Senate approved the confer
ence report which the House
adopted yesterday. This sends
the long-pending measure to the
President for signature.
The Senate acted unanimously
after Senator McKellar, Democrat
of Tennessee announced that the
controversy over inclusion of family
dwelling units had been settled by
allowing $3,000,000 for temporary
type structures in place of the Sem
ate proposal to build 5000 perma-
nent houses at cost of S13 500 900.
Both houses already were in agree
ment on the two remaining phases
of the program, namely: For dor
mitories to house $4,000 single per-
sons. $12OOO,0OO, and for public
works, such as schools, hospitals,
sewer. water or road construction,
SIT 100000.
Senator McNary, Republican. of
Oregon, who questioned the scope
of the bill the last time it was de-
bated, offered no objection to the
compromise the conferees finally
reached on temporary family units.
The 100000 allotted for this pur-
pose will provide 1000 units.
The National Housing Agency will
have charge of the dormitory and
family dwelling programs, while the
Federal Works Agency will allocate
the fund for public facilities. When
allotments are made to the commits

necessary by the influx of war work.

how much of the money will have to
be repaid to the United States.

Roosevelt Demands
u. 5. Agencies Yield
All Rubber Possible
Drive Is Renewed as
Nation Turns in Only
218,988 Tons

President Roosevelt TOOK the
lead today in a renewed drive to
build up vital stocks of scrap
rubber, ordering Budget Director
Harold D. Smith to see that
every possible ounce" is con-
tributed by Government agen-
cies here and throughout the
country.
White House Secretary Stephen T.
Early announced the move this
morning following a State-by-State
tabulation of collections through
June 81 which officials described as
disappointing" 1t showed a ma
tional total of 218,998 tons.
Washington's contribution was
given as 410 tons or 1.24 pounds per
capita which dropped the Capital
City from 42d to 46th among the
States and Hawaii in the average
individual donation.
Maryland Still 44th.
Maryland, with 1907 tons and a
| 1.44-pound per capita rate, kept
its place as 44th in line with Vir-
ginia, which reported 2,285 tons or
Ill per person, went up from 28th
to 42d.
On the basis of these figures the
| drive, scheduled to close tonight at
midnight, was extended through
July 10.
The President has directed the
director of the budget to 60 into
action and see to it that all Govern
ment departments and agencies in
Washington and throughout the
United States turn in every possible
ounce Of rubber to the campaign
now on" Mr.. Early said
I've passed that on to Harold
Smith, and he is getting out let
ter to the departments and agencies
covering the Government as a
whole"
Ickes Seeks to Salvage Mats.
The Presidents order followed a
minor inter-departmental squabble
which began when Secretary of the
Interior Ickes sought to throw floor
mats from his buildings to the cam
paign. He was thwarted by the
Public Buildings Administration,
which said the coverings were need
ed to prevent accidents on slippery
floors in wet weather.
Yesterday Mr.. Ickes, without men
tioning any names, told reporters,
I'VE suspect that there are people
boarding rubber, and there may
even be people in official life who
are doing a little boarding.
Then he dramatized his ideas by
rolling up a mat lying in front
corridor of the White House and
told his chauffeur to take it to the
nearest filling station.
District salvage officials planned
to continue their roundup of rubber
at some 1,100 neighborhood depots
and will release figures periodically
as the collecting agencies bring it In.
General Drive Planned.
The renewed drive will be CO.
ordinated here with previously ar
ranged plans for general salvage
drive designed to pick up metals,
rags and other waste material in
addition to rubber that can be con-
verted to war uses.

improvements. thus shifting a tax bur den to the future.
 If Waterbury could successfully adopt a plan whereby it would be unnecessary to issue any more bonds for any purpose whatsoever we doubt very much if there'd be a single objection from anyone, no matter what his political affiliations But so far as we can see no method of avoid ing bonds and at the same time giving heed to strong public demands has as yet been devised. If it should be, cer- tainly it would of necessity be immedi- ately adopted. We rather imagine that Mayor Vincent A. Scully would be glad to consider some such plan, faced as he is with many demands that mean greater expenditures by the municipal govern ment for many years to come.
 With one statement in the Taxpayers Association we cannot fully agree, namely, Municipal services have not increased greatly during the past fifteen years, except for relief activities during the depression years. We doubt If any municipal employe with some under standing of the ramifications of his employer would agree, either. However, it is not this writer's idea to become pro- vocative over this current survey, but rather inquisitive. We are interested in Waterbury's welfare, as is every good citizen. Consequently, "Trends of Grand List, Tax Rates, and Tax Levies in the City of Waterbury for the Years 1918 to 1942" merely Whets our appetite for the next course in municipal gov ernment.

BLUEBERRIES IN SEASON
(Hartford Courant)


 The only eulogy that the blue berry needs is to be made into pie When this is done the last word has been said, the finale sung until the masterpiece reaches the table. If 1t issoggy, underdone or the berries have been reduced to pasty un- recognizabilitY, the cook had best flee to the hlls. Her virtues may be legion, but her lord and master will discount them all. Until blueberry season is past she will in his eyes be only sham.
 There are various ways to cope with the blueberry. It need not be cause for tears, for incriminations or for ultimate divorce. The wife who is not an artist but dabbler in pie crust, who has yet to ex- plore the secret of what to do when the top of her pie is tough, will not brown or detlise the juice to stay in, this wife, we would suggest, should learn other ways of presentation. There is the cobbler and the pud- ding, either of which may be cam oufaged, to certain extent, with sauce or frothy topping. There is the blue berries -and-milk combina- tion, stanby since time immemorial and one that may be enlivel sd, if one likes, by the addition of bread or crackers. Last, but not least, there is the sauce dish of plain, un- adulterated berries, = simplicity in

Progress Report

This may be the time for progress report on consumer goods which we have given up, as an incident of our entrance into total war economy. The War Pro- duction Board issued such a summary the other day, in skeleton form a factual document, as government public lty properly should be, and unadorned with adjectives.
 Playing around with the statistics con- tained in Release WIPE 1928, we have come up with some facts that seem worth passing on. By government order, pro- duction for civilian use has been stopped in domestic oil burners, mechanical re- frigerators, washing machines and iron CTS, electrical appliances, electric ranges and fans, fishing tackle, golf clubs, metal household furniture and signs, musical instruments, radios, outboard motors, many toys and games, vacuum cleaners, vending and amusement machines.
 There has been sharp curtailment in the manufacture of baby carriages, bed ding and mattresses bicycles, caskets and burial vaults, church goods, cutlery, do- mestic cooking and heating stoves, coal sCokerS, hot water heaters and tanks, ice boxes, fountain pens and mechanical pen cils, hair and bobby pins, incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs, jeWelry, kit chen and household utensils, portable electric lamps and shades, razors and blades and sewing machines. Quite an imposing list, isn't it. And what have we gained?
 Thought rubber for 9,005 flying for resseS plus 1901 medium tanks. Enough aluminium for 2,434 flying fortresses.. Enough copper for 260 destroyers, to chase axis submarines Enough steel for 109 liberty ships plus 33,333 flying fortresses plus 12,820 medium tanks plus 4,208 iestroyers. Enough lead for 12,544 medi- i'm tanks plus 26,909 armored trucks. Enough brass for 1877, 7,766,000 rifle or machine gun cartridges. Enough tin for 2O6 destroyers.
 Enough zinc for 11,037 10-ton pontoon bridges plus 72,330 medium tanks plus 63,687 armored cars plus 21, ,050 large Sig nal Corps radios. Enough iron for 13,22l two-and-a-half-ton Army cargo-mover trucks. Enough nickel for 2,l00 medium tanks plus 4600 armored cars. Enough chromium for 1,047 medium tanks plus 37O armored cars.
 Good exchange? You bet. Bad news for Hitler? You win that bet. And even now, we retain more civilian comforts and conveniences than most peoples possessed before they began giving up bread for guns.

Grim Disaster

Just a month ago the big circus, Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey, played Waterbury. Despite late arrival in town and delays in setting up tents and other equipment the show played to two immense throngS. Similar conditions were experienced at many stops along it's tour. It's hard to secure suf- ficient help and there is a constant turn over in help due to war conditions. So all in all the progress of the circus has been attended by more than tiny obstacles.
 But who reckoned that a major dis aster like that befalling the circus Tues day in Cleveland would be encountered. Fire is the worst enemy circus can probably meet. Certainly a fire that races through the animal tent, bringing down great eXpanse of canvas on animals, tethered and in cages, must be horrible. The brief descriptions in the newspapers of the scenes of terror as everyone with the show tried to put out the flames and save the animals were pathetic to say the least
 In figures the actual loss to the circus might not~Seem too excessive, but the real loss is incalculable. It takes years to build up menagerie, one in which wild beasts from all parts of the world are confined. Some domesticity must be achieved, only at the expense of months of patient treatment and training These are the immediate irreplaceable elements in the circus loss. A year ago magnif- icent elephant herd was cut down by poison. This year it's the entire Inenagerie. That's almost too much to bear but, the show still goes on.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-06

According to reports concerning the meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee in Hartford Monday night of this week there is an increasing tendency among party leaders in every city of the state to give serious drought to de- creased tempo in electioneering this coming November. When we refer to electioneering we refer strictly to the actual getting out of the vote, the job for which there are political organiza- tions, too often unfairly criticized as lacking in regard for the public. A good political organization is good public servant, for it usually aWakens the average voter to sense of responsibility with regard to his voting privileges and duties Left to his own devices your average voter would not visit the polls once year as he is usually allowed But by dint of persuasion and persistence political groups manage to make it appear as if great percentages of the voters are seriously concerned with the outcome. So this fall with the party organizations probably lessening their concerted efforts to get out the vote we may see some startling results.
