JAPAN READY
 TO HIT RUSSIA
CcOntInued from Page D

~NNN"~~NNEH 
 Two developments support the theory that Eastern Siberia will be the next battle ground. One is the German smash into the Caucasus and Don-Volga area, which has fared SO well that there seems little chance of an upset this year. That means Russia will be unable to die vert any strength to the Far East to resist a Japanese attack.
 The other is Japan's concentra- ton of land and air strength in Manchoukuo, along the Siberian border. The Japanese are under stodo to have the bulk of their strength massed there. The latest information is that there are 25 to 27 divisions in Manchoukuo. two or three of which were moved in dur ing the past few weeks.
 Japanese Divisions
 Japanese divisions vary in size. some being 15,000 men and others 10000. Counting auxiliary and spe- cialized units, they probably have AAS ACWCA OAldAA OVOfOOO AICAA pA1A HCA haps as many as 760,000.
 In addition, their air strength in Manchoukuo is estimated at 1,500 combat planes, bombers and fight CTS. Unless the United Nations oqffensive in the south forces them to divert a large part of this fierce, It is not likely otherwise to effect any plans the Japanese may have with respect to Siberia.
 The action in the Solomon-Aus tralian area is primarily aerial and naval. Japan needs little in the way of naval support for an attack on Si- beria and can maintain the bulk of her fleet in the south, except for what is needed in Aleutian opera tionS.
 In attacking Siberia, Japan is ex- pected to ope nwith an aerial attack on Vladivostok and the air bases on Kamchatka Peninsula and the ad- jacent commander islands. These bases, one at the lower end of the Peninsula and the other on Com mander, would be important to the United States for bombing attacks on Japan. (There is one school of thought which holds that Japan will be beaten by direct attack on the islands proper, rather than by being rolled back in the southwest Pacific)
 Tn the land phase of the Siberian campaign, the Japanese are expect AI AA .nI1 wards the coast to isolate the Vlad- ivostok area. Another army would shove ncfthwestward to cut the trans Siberian railroad at Chita, where the two Far Eastern branches of the road are merged into sin gle line.

WATERBURY BOUND FREIGHT HITS CAR
Occupants Leap to Safety; Auto Completely De-
 mOliShed

A Waterbury-bound freight train smashed a sedan to pieces on a crossing in Devon Sunday night. All the occupants managed to scramble out of the car, which stalled on the tracks. before the oncoming train struck it.
 The engine pushed the auto 180 feet up the track before it was srumpled.
 Tn crossing the tracks the car, driven by Anthony M. Mainier of Bridgeport skidded on the wooden planking and the wheels wedged against the rails of the south-bound tracks. While trying to start the car Mainier heard the train ap- preaching. In an effort to warn the engineer he blew his horn. He had barely jumped from the car when the engine ploughed into it and carried 1t far up the tracks.
 The train was in charge of En- gineer I. Colburn and Fireman G. Gallagher.
 The accident ocurred about HOO D. m.

 J. ,se interceptors challenged the Americans in the vicinity of Nanchang. 21O miles northeast of Hengyang, but at Yochow there was no enemy opposition and the pilots and their crews took their time in placing bomb loads on enemy bar racks, warehouses and the railway station.
 Direct hits were scored on every target, 1t was reported. At Man. chang, the western terminus of the Nanchang- -Hangchow railway that runs through Chekiang and Kiangsi provinces, 8 Japanese hangar and airfield runway were hit.
 Sweep Back Again
 Two hours and a half after the Yochow raid the American planes were sweeping through to Nanchang targets despite efforts of Japanese fighters to head them of.
 A low level bombing attack on Hankow in which at least two fires were started was announced in a communique at Chungking. Tn this raid the fighter escorted bombers encountered neither Japanese fight CT planes nor anti-aircraft fire and scored hits on newly constructed warehouses.
 The Nanchang raid carried the Americans into the heart of the Japanese area from which the enemy has been trying to push Eoutheastward through Linchwan, and eouthwestward toward Chang gha and eventual control of the rail- way running from Hankow south to Canton on the China Sea.
 The bombing of the railway sta- ton at Yochow, 190 miles due north of Hengyang and approximately 19O miles northwest of Nanchang probably disrupted Japanese com fntlnications, as the town is on the line running south from Hankow.

enemy shipping off the south coasi of Timor, damaging heavily by thret direct hits an enemy destroyer, set. ting fire to a medium cargo shiI with three more direct hits anC probably sinking a smaller cargo ship wdth two hits. They did thi, without loss of a plane.
 Another fleet of medium bomberi heavily attacked the big Japanesg base at Rabaul in the Bismarck islands east of New Guinea anC northwest of the Solomons, start ing fires among airdrome installa- tiOns which they saw 50 miles away as they flew homeward, and destroy. ing one enemy bomber which got in their way.
 The pattern of the Allied bombing attacks showed clearly that Mac Arthur's aerial forces were support ing the Solomon islands forces oi Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, com maEder in chief in the Pacific and Vice Admiral Robert Lee Ghormley commanding in the South Pacific, by preventing the Japanese from re- ipforcing the garrison under attack at Tulagi
 It was indicated that the enemy, sorely pressed, might be starting re- Inducements from as far away as Dutch-PortugueSe T1mor, 2,700- miles from the battle scene.
 Nimitz, at his headquarters at Pearl Harbor, was silent pending re- ports which would permit him to give a clear picture of the trend and the outcome of the battle, and MacArthur confined himself to re- porting developments in his own zone.
 Unofficial Reports
 But unofficial reports indicated clearly that the battle had developed as follows:
 1. MacArthur's Allied planes per- sistently raided Japanese bases over the entire northeastern zone, in New Guinea, the Bismarcks and the Sol- omons, to soften up airdromes, smash installations and sink ship ping which the Japanese might use in the Solomons battle.
 2. Nimitz' and Ghormley's naval forces, protecting a transport-born landing force of United States Mar ines and soldiers, opened a heavy bombardment of the Tulagi harbor area, nestling of the southwest coast of Florida island, Friday morning.
 3. The Japanese rushed all planes and warships possible into action and opened a heavy attack on the Allied naval force.
 {. The Japanese met formidable force of United States naval planes.
 5. The American Marines, push ing to the shore in small boats, ef- fected landing
 6. The Allied troops dug in on the beaches and began their fight to consolidate positions from which, step by step, week by week and month by month, the Allied forces mean to drive their way toward the Philippines and Tokyo.
 2. In this fifth day the Allied naval and air forces still fought the enemy while MacArthur's planes sought to keep off endorsements.
 It was made plain here, at Pearl Harbor and in Washington that the Japanese were fighting desperately. They well knew what this offensive meant to them. They were on the defensive now, and reports from Hawaii indicated that they had suf- fered heavy casualties, especially in the opening bombardment which caught them by surprise.

WIFE, DAUGHTERS
 WORKING ON FARM

Boston, Aug. 1l-CUP)-So serious is the shortage of manpower on Massachusetts farms. Mayor Roger L. Putnam of Springfield said today, that his wife and three daughters are out helping farmers get in their hay.
 The mayor, who is candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nom- nation, said in a letter to Go. Lev erett Saltonstall that Mrs. Putnam and the daughters Caroline, 21, Anna, IS, and Marie, 12, were as- sisting farmers in Petersham, where they are vacationing.
 Mayor Putnam urged the gover. nor to use conscientious objectors from the Petersham camp to har- vest crops as means of relieving the manpower shortage.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 11-UP)- The Axis partners-Japan and Ger many district each other thor oughly and the Germans have vainly tried to hasten a Japanese attack on Russia.
 Before left a Japanese concen- tration camp to return home rela- tions between Japan and Germany were privately described in Tokyo as unsatisfactory" There was every indication that each was closely watching the other.
 Germans in Japan were under al- most the same surveillance as Americans and British before Pearl Harbor and they anticipate intern ment when heavy attacks are made against Japan or if wave of sab otge sweeps the country.
 Germany's efforts to induce Japan to strike Russia in Siberia were re- sented in Tokyo. The Japanese war lords are determined to fight the war according to their own plan.
 The Nazi plan was based on the doble-barrelled hope that Japan ese-Russian war would enable them to conclude their own Russian cam pagin this summer and keep. Japan so busy she would not go to war with the United States, thus imped- ing full American mobilization for war.
 Japan, however, is making every effort to consolidate her positions in the Pacific against future attacks by the Allies or by the Germans.
 German efforts to swing Japan against Russia were started months before Pearl Harbor, but the Jap anese warlords took the view that the Nazis merely sought a buffer to divide Russia's forces while simul- taneously keeping Japan out of the south Pacific, on which, they be- lieved, the Nazis had their own de- signs.
 It is noteworthy that in Japan's plans for development of the areas she has taken there has never been a mention of a specific German share in the spells. Nor have the Germans been permitted any hand in the economic reorganization of occupied China.

Caucasus Is Serious

Caucasus Is Serious
 The reports from the Caucasus front were serious inasmuch as they showed the enemy rapidly ap- preaching the Black Sea coast, ap- parently attempting to cut off the Novorossisk naval base some 65 miles from Krasnodar, but the dan- ger to Stalingrad also was greatly increased following two weeks of heavy fighting in which attacks had been repulsed.
 The Communist newspaper Prav- da again reported that the Ger mans were dropping parachutists in the rear on the Russian lines as other units of machine gunners at- tempted to infiltrate through the Russian advance posts. All of the parachutists were destroyed, the dispatch said.
 Describing the German efforts to break through the barriers protect ing Stalingrad, the front line dis patches said that great tank battles were in progress in both the Klet- skaya sector, northwest of the Vollga war center, and near Kotel-

Rioting in New Delhi

New Delhi, India, Aug. 11-CUP) -Bloodshed and rioting broke out today in the Chandi Chauk, the silver street once known as the richest thoroughfare in the world, when police fired on a mob and killed one of the demonstrators.
 Several persons were injured when the police opened fire on the crowds in the busiest shopping street of the old, or native, center of Delhi where students and others picketed shops, trying to force jewellers and ivory workers to close.
 The All-India radio reported that British deputy commissioner and several policemen were injured in violent clash when police opened fire on crowd in the province oi North India after the stoning ot the officials.
 The Chandi Chauk, which means Street of Silver" takes its name from the jewellery workers shops that have existed there for cen. turies. In times past its wealth ir precious stones and metals made il the richest thoroughfare of any street in the world.

Poona and Alamadabad, where rioting had been serious, were quietel this morning. Additional mills closed at Ahmadabad and British troops patrolled the streets. Utili- ties servicemen repaired communi- cations damaged by Mobs yester- day.
 It was announced at noon that the East Indian Cotton Association the largest cottong market in India had decided to close until Saturday
 Authorities tDelhi hoped that the rioting would start to peter out soon, with Mohandas K. Gandhi and other nationalists who had fomented a mass civil disobedience campaign in pursuit of independence under detention and incummuni- cado.
 Some Indian political leaders were working quietly in hope that the government, at a round-table conference of all parties, might make some further concessions of political power to Indians and thus knock the bottom out of Nationalist agitation.
 At Poona, Gandhi was interned in the three-storied palace of the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of In- dian Mohammedans, which the gov- ernment has rented. Gandhi has a fine view of the city. The building is surrounded by barbed wire in the center of well groomed flower garden, lawns and fountains.
 The ultra-modern furnishings of the palace are supplemented by rich Persian carpets, statuettes and curios.
 Gandhi was permitted no contact with the outside world but it was believed that his wife, arrested Sum- day, was with him.
 Other members of the working committee or executive of the Na- tionalist All-India Congress were believed to have been taken by Spe- cial train to the walled town of Ahmednagar, GA miles northeast of Poona, to be housed in comfort but complete isolation.
 Bombay remained the chief trouble center and after police and troops had fired on rioters 10 sepa- rate times yesterday the authorities brought into action airplanes which dropped tear gas bombs on mobs that refused to disperse.
 North Bombay rioters started to- day to use guerrilla tactics, destroy ing property and then dodging po- L A. l. l I-l- I in the streets throughout the night, to be refreshed this morning with new wreckage. Several gas mains were smashed.
 At Bengal the Bengal government outlawed the Nationalist All-India party.
 Police at Nagpur, capital of the central provinces, three additional leading Nationalist politicians were arrested.
