Awarded Yesterday at Col Orful, Crowded CeremO=
 nies at Plant

Flying proudly today from the staff of the Scovill Mfg. Go. was the Army Navy "E" for production excellence. It was awarded to the company and its employees yesterday afternoon in colorful ceremonies at the Hamilton avenue parking lot be- fore crowd of from 15,000 to 18,000 Army and Navy officers, public off, cials and many other distinguished guests were on the platform as the management and workers were hailed for their vitally important contributions to the war effort.
 Fellow soldiers, salute you" said Col. F. H. Payne, assistant chief of the Springfield ordnance district, as he presented the "E" burgee to John H. Goss, president and general manager of the company.
 Pins Awarded
 Army Navy "E" pins, which will be presented to all Scovill employees within the next few days, were given yesterday to IA veteran em- ployes, each of whom has been with Scovill for 50 years or more. | Lowell Thomas served as master of ceremonies during the program, which was broadcast over all Con- necticut stations and over the na- tionWide chain of the Blue Net work from 2:45 to 3:30.
 The presentation exercises began after several thousand employees had paraded up Hamilton avenue after leaving their jobs. Thousands of other employees, working on off, shifts, were also on hand, and with them were wives, children, relatives and friends.
 CurtisS Opens Program
 The ceremonies began with a bugle call, after which Alan c. Cur tiss, director of employe relations, opened the program. William Law Tor and the Scovill chorus led the assemblage in singing "The Star Spangled Banner" MT. Curtiss then turned the program over to MT. Thomas.

JAPANESE FLEET
 IS RUNNING AWAY
Rolled at SOlOmOns, Amer jeans Again Send Japs
 Into Retreat

Washington, Aug. 28 - (UP)-A mauled, Japanese fleet, foiled in its attempt to recapture the Solomon Islands, fled today before the on- slaughts of American airmen.
 Naval observers said American flyers were seeking to track down the fleeing Japanese to prevent the fleet reforming for new attack. They recalled that similar tactics were followed after the Japanese were routed at Midway.
 It was the fourth successive time the Japanese navy had been forced to turn tail and run after coming up against American air and naval power. It happened before in the battles of the Coral Sea and Mid way and in the first engagement of the present Solomons campaign.
 Although there was the possibility that the enemy fleet would reform and, with endorsements, make an- other attempt to recapture the Solo, mons, 1t appeared that American forces had scored another victory, But the Navy carefully avoided claiming one, merely reporting that the enemy had broken off the en- gagement and had withdrawn from the Tulagi area.
 Previously, the Navy had reported

A charge that changes in

A charge that changes in -le Republican Town Com mittee made Wednesday night were engineered secretly by the leadership was made today by Mrs. Ger trude Keenan, veteran COP worker, who was deposed as one of the town committee members in Section 5. Though I have been a mem- Der of the Republican Town committee for seven years and though I have worked faithfully for the party for many more years, l was not told that I was to be dropped until Wednesday night, said Mrs. Keenan. "Then it was too late for me to file primary ticket. If I'd been given the opportunity I would have won."
 One Of Several
 Mrs. Keenan was one of @ num- Der dropped by the leadership. Changes were made in the town committee personnel in five of the nine districts into which Republt- can party rules divide the city. Lead CTS including Town Chairman Yer non L. Hall, denied that the changes constituted a "shake-up".
 "I'm not the only one who is the victim of this undemocratic pro cedure," said Mrs. Keenan. "The leadership insists on being in charge of everything; if they don't like us, or anything about us, they just drop us from the list without giving us an opportunity to fight to retain our places"

KASSEL, GYDN|A
 GIVEN BOMBING
British Airmen Subject Nazi Industrial Center to
 Terrific Attack
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Aug. 28-CUP)-A large force of big British bombers rained destruction on the industrial cen- ter of Kassel during the night and smaller force of long-distance sharpshooters attacked Gydnia on a 1,700-mile round-trip bombing mis- sion, 1t was revealed today.
 The target of the British airmen at the Polish port of Gydnia was not revealed but 1t was recalled that reconnaissance flights in late spring spotted the Nazi battleship Gne- isenau at that port. The partly completed German aircraft carrier, Graf Zeppelin, also has been re- ported seen there.
 Gydnia also is an important German supply base for operations on the northern Russian front.
 An admitted loss of 30 bombers in 8 concentrated attack on the gigantic locomotive, airplane and aircraft and automobile motor fac tories there indicated that the raid- ing force consisted of far more than 500 planes and might even prove to have approached a 1000 plane level.
 The British planes, including four-motored Stirlings and Lancas- terS with their eight-ton bomb load, rained thousands of incen- diary and hundreds of explosive demolition bombs, believed to in- clude many two-ton block busters, on their targets by the light of bright bomber's moon.
 First reports to the Air Ministry said that the raid was most suc- ceSsful
 Targets included the Henschel Locomotive works, the largest in Europe; the Fieseler Aircraft works, producing Messerschmitt fighter and Fieseler Storch reconnaissance planes, and the Henschel aircraft engine works, producing the famous Daimler Benz airplane and auto- mobile engines.
 Especial importance attached to the results of the bombing of the locomotive works. British bombers and fighters and the astonishingly successful United States Flying F'ortresses are making railroads and rolling stock factories prime objective, in an atempt to crip- pie the entire German transport system.
 It was understood that by the light of full moon the British bombers were able to distinguish

 Headquarters appealed to indus tries to notify local boards when deferred workers have left their employment or have been dis charged.
 Lists of missing men" have been compiled by boards throughout the state, giving the names of regis trants who have left essential jobs and who cannot be located at ad- dresses given in their question naires.

Stanchion on Watertown Ave. Called Nuisance,
 Obstruction in Suit

Two Fairfield County newspaper men, Paul DeLahunta and Edwin MacKeever, former Waterburian, and their wives, all of Stratford, will institute civil action in superior court claiming total ot $llO,0OO damages sustained March p when car in which they were driving hit the traffic stanchion at the intersection of Watertown avenue and Robbins street. Atty. Francis P. Guilfoile will represent the plaintiffs.
 Describing the stanchion as a nuisance" and obstruction" the plaintiffs claim the driver could not see the cement base, that tho blinker light at the top indicated an approach of an intersection and not of a dangerous obstruction. !" The complaint points out that the stanchion is on the third lane of the four lane highway, and that the driver, Paul DeLahunta, was driv- ing on the third lane. It is claim ed that the blinker light at the top of the IS foot high post did not operate so as to disclose clearly the location of the stanchion, des- cribed as having 8 six foot square base. The blinker shed no light on the base below, 1t is alleged.
 It was raining at the time of the accident which occurred in the early morning, the complaint points out. and adds that with visibility poor the driver was travelling at rate of 20 miles per hour.

Panzer Spearhead Cut Off By Reds Is Being Wiped
 Out MethOdicaIIy
GERMANS TRYING TO
 RUIN STALINGRAD
All City's Available Man. power Being MObilized
 Into Volunteer Groups
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff CorrespondentJ


 United Press Staff CorrespondentJ
 Moscow, August 28. - (UP) = Soviet dispatches asserted today that the new advance on Stalingrad has been blocked for 24 hours and the German air force has launched a terrific bombardment of the key Vol ga city, apparently designed to level the entire town.
 Stiff Russian opposition was said to have ground the Nazi armored columns to a halt on all the ap- breaches to Stalingrad and one Panzer spearhead was reported cut off and undergoing systematic wip- ing out by Red Army forces.
 However, front dispatches said the German Luftwaffe apparently has blocked Stalingrad off into sec- tions and has launched a lombard ment in which tons of high ex- plosives are being dropped in one area after another.
 Ruining Stalingrad
 The Naz objective, the Russians reported, apparently is to turn the entire city of nearly 100000 persons into mass of rubble.
 The first attack, reports said, was directed toward the heart of Stalin- grad, where modern office buildings and dwellings along tree-lined boul- evardS and squares crumpled under the rain of bombs.
 Soviet air fighters intercepted large forces of NaN dive bombers, it was said, on the approaches of Stalingrad and almost continuous large scale dog fights were in pro- gress with many Nazi planes shot down. However, the mass of Luft- waffle machines was so great that they broke through from several di- rections and reached the central part of Stalingrad where they in- flicted heavy damage.
 Volunteers Sought Every able bodied man who could be spared from Stalingrad's factor ies was mobilized into volunteer de- tachments which marched out Of the city through the heavy smoke pail en route to the Qualifications west of Stalingrad.
 Fighting of the most desperate character was underway on the Stalingrad defense lines but military reports said that no NaZi gains had been registered for 24 hours.
 Soviet counter-attack northwest of Stalingrad cut off a strong Naz force that had broken through to the east bank of the Don and It was reported to be under systematic destruction.
 Reds Take Iniative
 The Russians seized the initiative when 1t seemed their backs were against the wall. Now the most dangerous German spearhead threatening Stalingrad and Che Volga river line, one that was only 30 or 35 miles away, faced quick destruction.
 The counter-attack cut German communications and drove the enemy from three villages. Front line dispatches said the Russians were now tightening ring of steel about the remaining German forces 100 or more tanks and several large infantry units.
 Dive bombers continuously ham, mered the trapped Germans. Soviet tanks and infantry were breaking them up into smaller units, which were being exterminated, one by one.
