PORT LYAUTEY, French Moroc-

tide of the bitter three-day fight
for this cit" and its invaluable air
llome was turned III favor of the
American forces in the battle OF
depth charge junction.
The junction is a road interSec-
ton five miles south of Port Lyau-
tey on the broad highway to Rabat.
Il was along that road that the
French tried to move columns of
tanks and motorized troops to re-
inforce their beleaguered garrison
here.
Twice tanks and troops from the
crack Moroccan garrison at Rabat
the most decorated single bat
station in all Morocco is there -
tried to get by the junction and
twice ther were blasted, decimated
and turned around by depth charges
used as aerial bombs.
COMBINED ACTION
The road was blocked by COM
blned action of slow-footcd scout
ing planes. dive bomberS, naval shell
fire from off shore and American
tank columns which rushed down
from the northern beachheads to
engage the enemy-but it was the
scouting planes that led the attack.

REDS CUT DEEPER
On the Russian front the Red
army appeared to be slashing the
Nazi positions from Stalingrad west
to the Don river bends so heavily
that a general German withdrawal
did not appear improbable.
The Russians had at least three
possibly more columns knitting
through the area, attacking Nazi
strong points and seizing rail and
road communications.
The Stalingrad defenders were
on the aggressive. blasting the Gre
mans from their pillboxes, and,
with the aid OF a column which
swept down the west bank OF the
Volga. They were reported to have
destroyed the greater part of the
German northern flank at Stalin-
grad.
The Russian bag Of prisoners was
increased by another 10000 and the
total of German killed and cap
tured since November 19 rose TO
116.5O0 with probably an equal num-
Der wounded.
NEW GAINS NOTED
Inside Stalingrad, Russian gains
in the Stalingrad tractor factory
and Red october works areas were
reported.

Unlimited Gas?
Not for Farmers
In Valley Area

Continued from rage II
Henderson had been mlsquoted, or
only partially quoted. Farmers, he
indicated. receive ration books ac-
cording to their needs. II an a or
B ration book is sufficient, that is
what the farmer will get, his dis
cussion implied. Ration boards work
under stringent restrictions imposed
by headquarters, and cannot eXceeo
the power allotted them
BOOKS TAILORED
The &C" classification, addition
ally. does not necessarily mean an
unlimited amount of gasoline for
the poSsessor, CuSick pointed out
These books are tailored to fit eS-
sential needs.
In Washington, Henderson testl-
fled that the rationing program is
designed to provide for essential
public services, such as health and
safetY, and to get war and farm
workers to work.
There is a feeling among the
farmers that the farmer is being
Disseminated against Chairman
Harry S. Truman, D., Mo, told him.
If that could be cleared up, half
of the trouble would be eliminated.
Henderson replied that the agrl-
culture department had told HIM
farmers in the east, where gasoline
rationing has been in effect several
months, have received all the IIcl
they needed both for farm and
passenger car use.
DIRFCTIVES ISSUED
JefferS, the first witness previous
ly had told the committee he had
issued directives calling for farmers
to be allowed to continue their nor
NAL operations and for war worker
to be given enough gasoline to meet
their essential needs.
Henderson told Sen Harold H
Burton that voluntary rat!oning
will not meet the standards Of the
Baruch report.
Gasoline consumption in non
ratiOncd sections of the country
has been cut down only l79 per
cent since September. l94l, Whcr
rubber was still coming into this
country, he said, while in the ra-
toned east there has been a 43 pcl
cent reduction.
And you'd say" Truman prompt

ing?"

SHERIFF SHAWN
 TO BE NOMINATED
Democratic County Con- ventiOn Likely to Be
 Held in Meriden

Either Waterbury or Meriden will be the scene of the Democratic county convention whihc will re- nominate High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin, it was learned today. The odds are slightly in favor of the latter city.
 Setting of the date for the con- vention has been delayed because of the failure of the New Haven Democratic organization to name its delegates, but it is possible that the convention will be held late next week or early the following week. Under the statutes, he convention must be held at least q days before election day, which this year is November 3.
 Convention arrangements are in charge of a committee of which Registrar Thomas F. Reyes of New Haven is chairman. This com mittee was named by the conven- tion of two years ago.
 Sheriff Slavin will be opposed by First Selectman Charles F. Schall of West Haven, who was nornin- ated by the Republicans last week. The incumbent will be seeking his third four-year term having been elected in 1884 and 1888.

 They were organized by the Army into a lobar battalion. They set to work with will, building barracks, digging ditches and clearing moun- tain roads. Stationed at Schofield Barracks, they do not wear uni forms, but carry regulation gas masks and tin helmets.
 When the entire group recently turned up at the former Japanese Hospital, now under the Army, and donated an average of 450 cc's of blood each, they set an example for the tagging Japanese community, to whom the idea of giving blood is a fearful thing.

 FOR WATCH DUTY
Men Needed to Complete Necessary Staff at Warn-

Volunteer men to do telephone watch duty at the district warning center are urgently needed because the post is now Shorthanded. All air raid warnings from the army are sent to the warning center from where they are transmitted to the chief report centers, making the post vital station in the civilian de- fense organization.
 The watches from 10 p. m. to ? a. m. and to 6 a. m. are particu- larly in need of more workers. Men who work in defense industries and get through work late at night can easily work several hours additional at the center. Also many men can work. the shift on their day off, since each volunteer is required to work only one day a week. At least 15 men are needed at the post at once to take the place of workers that have been drafted into the army.

LAHEY ADDRESSES
 INDEX CLUB AT Y
Fire Marshal Pays Tribute to City's Fire-Fighting
 Force

Tracing the history and social life of Waterbury from the early settlement days of the 16OVs, then known as 'Mattatuck," Fire Mar shal Dennis J. Lahey, at the meet ing of the Index club at Central Y. M. c. A. last night, informally sketched the history of Waterbury up to the present time. The speaker gave sketches of personalities who have influenced and determined trends of the city. He spoke of the founding of the city in 1873, of the great fire in 1903, and reminisced in manner highly entertaining to the club and guests. He was intro duced by Guy c. Beardsley.
 Naturally, we who were born and brought up here," declared the mar -shal, "are proud of Waterbury; and we have just right to be. We are living in a city where good will and friendship prevails; we have been from the beginning, and we still are most tolerant lot of people. The city of itself has been fair and just to its own people, and to the many who have taken up their abode here. Our factory heads are fair and just men, born that way of parents whose main object at the outset was to do good for the public in general and to do good toward all. And that's the mind of the average citizen of Waterbury"
 Marshal -sahey paid a glowing tribute to his associates of the fire department. Said he: "T bow in admiration and respect to the ad- ministrative officers of the fire de- partment: Chief Cavanaugh, Deputy Chief Champion, Acting Deputy Bloomfield, Drillmaster and Acting Deputy Joseph Kelley, Supt. Robert Schlosser of the bureau of fire alarms, Capt George L. Holmes of the bureau of auto repairs, and all of the company officers and the rank and file in general of the de- partment. These f1remen are a great body of men, I wish you to know, a well trained lot, associates of mine in my daily pursuits, and I glory in their association and con- tact. You seldom hear or read of the rank and file of the fire depart ment, but these company officers and their privates are the fellows who get in, the ones who must take it. as they say, in smoky and stuffy rooms when fire occurs, and whose work in this respect stands out as a monument to their ability to check fire almost at the begin ming. And look at these signal op- orators and to the others attached to the fire alarm bureau. These are the men who keep this system in perfect order at all times, so that you and the rest of thefpeople can send in alarm by the street box, the best and safest manner of send in Q fire alarm. Excluding the marshal, the fireman of Wa terbury cannot be excelled for his true citizenship, and devotion to a duty and work which means so much to the safety of the people in time of peril and trouble. And let me add that if fire follows any in- vasion, it is the fireman who will have to act; he's the one who will i be in the thick of It., just as he always has been when any great fire has occurred here."
