 Litchfield Disguised
 Litchfield county delegates were so disgusted at the outcome of the contest for second place on the ticket they refused to nominate a candidate for state treasurer, a place on the ticket which had been promised to them. They had plan ned to back Senator Frank Peet of Kent.
 |, The almost solid Litchfield county vote for MT. Pape might well be the nucleus of an anti-Bradley movement which the publisher may head. It would have support from Waterbury as well as from a num- Der of towns about the state.,
 Observers interpreted the out come of the Acknowledgements ship nomination as meaning that the G. O. P. leadership welcomes the support of MT. Pape's papers but does not want the publisher as candidate.
 That's Gratitude
 That's gratitude" said one .Papt packer. "Pape spends a lifetime fighting for the party, wins a Pull. itzer prize for uncovering Demo cratic scandal and yet the leaders of his own party pass, the wore that they don't want him on tht ticket"
 MT. Pape himself, in post con. vartion statement, declared that the Republican party needed "fret choice" of candidates. He made il plain that he believed MT. Bradley had broken his "hands of" pledge
 The convention renominated Free zeller of Stonington for state con- troller, ex-Congressman B. J. Mon kiewicz of New Britain for congress man-at-large and Attorney Genera Frank Pallotti. Also nominated were Mrs. Frances Redick of New ington for secretary of state ant Rep. Carl M. Sharpe of Pon1fre for state treasurer.

The first as- sault caught the Germans ur1ex- pectedly, but they recovered and slowed the Russian advance, but were not able to stop 1t.
 The advance carried before 1t number of fortified functions, as well as inhabited points. In one battle the Germans lost 26 tanks and big air battles were reported developing.
 The noon communique did mol mention fighting in the vicinity oi Novorossisk, the Soviet Black Sea naval base, which was given up t( the Germans yesterday.
 "On one western (centraD from sector, Soviet troops continued fighting on the outskirts of an i'm. portant locality, where, to thu southeast on a narrow sector thu Germans had concentrated one-and. one-half regiments of infantry ana 90 tanks" the noon communiqu' said.
 "The Germans attacked, but brokl down. A considerable part of thesI tanks were smashed by our trencl rnortars and armor busters. Forty nine enemy tanks were set on fir or destroyed. Heavy losses als' were inflicted on the enemy ans prisoners were taken.

he had driven into Russian posi- tions. The Russians frustrated these efforts with heavy artillery, firing over open sights, with hand gren- ades, rifles and bayonets.
 GA Stockholm newspaper said the Germans had reached the Volga In the Krasnoarmeisk area, south of Stalingrad.
 (Some London reports were that as many as 1000, 900 Germans were assaulting Stalingrad, with 1,OOO planes and 5000 tanks.
 "West of Stalingrad, Soviet troops repulsed attacks" the noon com- muniuue said. "Our units destroyed six German tanks, three trucks loaded with infantry and 1s0 Hitler ties. On another sector, Soviet tanks destroyed eight German tanks, even anti-tank guns, 12 machine gun nests and up to 100 of the enemy.
 Southwest of Stalingrad, Soviet troops repulsed fierce attacks. So- viet artillery, firing from open posi- tions, destroyed five German tanks and many infantry. Northwest oi Stalingrad, Soviet artillery dis persed enemy concentrations and annihilated up to two companies oi infantry"

administrators original plan to seek authority for the president to impose any control he deems neces- sary, had been dropped and that specific regulations on wages and farm prices will be set forth.
 Conferees said the legislation will not restrict MT. Roosevelt's eco- homie controls to the degree de- manded by some congressional quarters. On the other hand, they said, the bill will mot repeal all the laws that interfere with what the president feels it is necessary to do."
 Roosevelt Program
 They predicted that 1t would fol- low the program MT. Roosevelt is believed to have worked out in a series of executive orders he plans to issue if Congress does not act before October l. This, they said, would grant presidential authority to:
 1. Outlaw increases in wages and salaries of workers in industries that are associated in any way with the war effort beyond IS per cent above the levels that prevailed Jan uary i. 1941. The provision would { apply to increases obtained through voluntary agreement or collective bargaining.
 9. Prevent war plants from "pi- rating" workers in other plants or industries by offering higher wage as an inducement.
 3. Suspend price control law p-o. visions prohibiting imposition of farm price ceilings below no per cent of parity, the average price pre- vailing from 1919 to o'1920, or the Oct. 1 and Dec. IS. i04i levels. The pres- ident has recommended stabilization of farm prices at 100 per cent of par- ity or at levels now prevailing.
 Blanket Power Loses Senate majority leader Alben " BarkIey of Kentucky is believed to have implied to the eonfereeS at the White House yesterday that a blan- ket grant of power to the president would be defeated in the senate.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas urged adoption of the blanket feso- luton but members of the house banking committee who attended, predicted that such . measure would never get approval of their group regardless of what action the house might be expected to take,
 BaFkley told reporters opponents of the brief resolution protested tllal l t was too general and docs not specify what the president could eo'' g5e emphasized there was ne als, agreement on the purpose eg ths program, adding that;

 Reports to headquarters indicated that both sides were reorganlzing for the next phase of the drive which had taken the Japanese swiftly across the most formidable part of the mountains.
 MacArthur's planes, continuing their close support of the ground forces, again attacked enemy troops and supply lines.
 They also raided twice, both times heavily, the airdrome area of the Buna base on the north coast from which the enemy forces had set out. Medium bombers and at- tack bombers put all their bombs in the target area, MacArthur re- ported. Three grounded aircraft and several trucks were destroyed and several fires started, while the Japanese guns fired furiously but unavailingly.
 Other Attacks
 In the sector northwest of Aus tralia, medium bombers attacked a building and c small vessel at Teoen Island, northeast of Timor Island and west of New Guinea. where the enemy recently spread out to occupy new bases.
 Tn all these operations, 1t was indicated, not a single enemy plane challenged the Allied raiders.

 After Biggest Port
 The Force Platt reported at Vohe- mar appeared headed for Tamatave, the biggest port on the east coast to Brickaville and thence 95 miles in land to Tananarive.
 At Ambositra, the Imperial forces could fan out to take ports on the southeast coast.
 Lieut.. Gen. Sir William Platt, commanding the Imperial forces re- ported a column moving down from Diego Suarez to effect contact with the force which had taken Nocy-Be Island and the port of AmbanJa on the northwest coast.
 A military commentator said on the basis of late reports:
 Things are going very satlstac- torily in Madagascar. The job was exceedingly well carried out, with not much shooting, due to the ef- ficiency of the landings"
 Taken together, dispatches indi- cated that the operation was one oi major moment aimed at the early seizure of all of Vichy Madagascar which could be put under a fighting French administration 90 that h- stead of being threat because o1 it's value to Japan, it would become strategic and economic asset.
 British forces including British South African and East African troops and supported by the navy and the South African air force were now in effective control of the entire west coast and. completion oi a march down the east coast, sucr as Vichy described, would leave oniS the southeast coastal stretch to Dt taken care of.

He explained that his protesting started as soon as meter installation was ordered and his damage suit and motion for an injunction were an aftermath of unheeded written complaints to city officials. The fact that he objected from the start gives weight which would be lacking in cases of persons who kept quiet for two wears and then sud- denly objected after the meters were declared illegal, he adds.
