 Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, of 15 Forest avenue, Ansonia, formerly of Naugatuck. was one of the victims of the tragic fire. Also lost was her son. Raymond F. Sullivan, 33. Mrs. Sullivan had gone to Boston to att tend the football game as the guest of her son. A friend of Sullivan's, Miss Catherine Murphy, who went to the night club with them, was lnreported.
 Fears on the part of parents of local undergraduate and alumni of the rival Jesuit colleges were set at rest by phone calls late Saturday night and yesterday.
 Several Waterburians who at- tended the game reported today that they and local friends had planned to go to the Cocoanut Grove but had been unable to se- cure reservations.
 Rev. Richard J. Bowling, s. J., professor at Holy Cross. telephoned ] the families Of a number of Wa terburians yesterday to assure them that the local youth in Boston were safe. He was personal friend of a number of the victims.

 Using Transport Planes
 The newspaper Pravda reported that in the area northwest of Stal- ingrad tho Germans had been forced to turn to transport planes to bring up endorsements tscause tlYsis railroad communications had been cut. The Soviet air force was shooting down many of the trans- ports, Pravda said.
 It was believed that Col. Gen. Hermann von 10th could not hope to receive sufficient German rein- forcements from the west or south- west to give him any chance Of blasting his way out of the pocket. Soviet artillery on the front north. west of Moscow was handicapped by blizzards but the Germans man. aged to put planes into the air for a strong counter attack, with tanks and reserve infantry, which the Russians broke in bitter fighting. The noon communique reported today that the Russians had cap- tured SS fortified dugouts and blockhouses in Stalingrad and in 10 days had taken 66,000 prisoners there alone, while the German dead mounted to 100000.
 Continue Advances
 Besides making important gains in ruined Stalingrad itself, the noon communique reported, the Russians continued their advances northwest and southwest of the city and, after throwing back German counter-at- tacks with heavy losses stormed and captured more fortified inhabited points on the central front.
 The midnight communique had reported Russian gains in the Tu- apse sector on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus.

Boston, Nov. 3o.-(UP)-The r7"' panic of a thousand night club revelers, trapped in the flaming Cocoanut Grove Cafe, their screams and cries, the sight of horribly burned bodies piled deep before clogged doors, and men and women converted into flaming torches. were dt -cribed today by survivors of Sat- UT ay nights tragedy.
 z.aroic tales-how the captain of the eight-girl chorus kept her wits and led all of them to safety-also were told by the few able to tell a coherent story.
 One of the survivors, William Ladd, who was sitting near the orchestra, said the blaze developed so quickly it caught the guests un- awareS.
 Flash of Flame
 A girl had just ran from the rear of the club, 'Ladd said, and spoke to the manager, when there was a flash of flame in the rear"
 Then black smoke came rolling into the main dining room and on to the dance floor" he said.
 "Men and women began to scream. Instantly there was panic. They jumped up on their chairs, tipped tables and it seemed everybody wanted to be the first to get out.
 "At a small door on Piedmont street, one woman fell and others rushing on piled up on top of her. They were trapped and tangled hopelessly when the flames reached them. It was impossible for them to get out.
 Tore Clothes on
 Ladd said that at the main exit he saw men and women tearing clothes from each other trying desperately and hopelessly to get through the clogged doorway. Benjamin Ellis. who was walking past the night club at the moment smoked billowed from the front door, said the sight was horrible. l"
 He described men and women. in a desperate try to escap, trampling each other and became hopelessly entangled in the mass pressing through the narrow way.
 "The doorway was jammed with screaming people. fighting to get out and locked together by pressure from the rear" he said.
 Pulled to Safety
 Ellis and several other bystanders grabbed a few near the front and pulled them to safety.
 "I got a kick in the jaw he said, but what I suffered was noth- ing to the majority of those I could hear on the inside. The interior was a mass of flames. Those who could not get near the door tried to es- cape through the windows.
 'Tt was horrible"
 Another witness. Reho Sandri. 24. a taxicab driver. and 6 former em- ploye of the club. was parked across the street from the main entrance when the fire started.
 "I heard a lot of screaming" he said. "and then I saw 6 lot of peo- pie crowding up near the revolving door. I got out of the cab and walked over to the door. The door wouldn't move because the crowd was trying to push 1t in opposite directions.
