Walter Kloss of Thomaston, prominent member of the school board today declared that he fought to have the $6,000 which is to be set aside each year in a sinking fund for the construction of sewage disposal system, invest ed in war bonds or government bonds at Monday evenings town meeting.
 Said MT. Kloss: Tt was my opinion at that time, it still is my opinion that ou rtWonc fiji
 opinion that our town could have set remarkable example of unity if we had voted to invest this six thousand dollars each year in war bonds or government bonds.
 "As things now stand the money may lie idle in our banks for years to come, or it may be invested in some wild cat scheme. It is not that I doubt the honesty and integrity of the members of our finance board, but I feel that the nUited States of America and our war time government have 8 far greater need for that money than our banks.
 Tt is my opinion that at time when hundreds of Thomaston youths are in our armed services, many of whom may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice that we should have voted to support the cause they are fighting to pre- serve.
 Tt is wrong, I believe, for ma jority of 54 people, to place our town on official record not to buy

 Tn September approximately l9,- 800. 900 workers set aside total of $265, 900 900 out of payrolls, an aver age of 8 per cent of all the workers participating. This compared with the August figure of 18,SO0, 900 workers who set aside 8 total of $225 ,00O, 900 out of payrolls an aver age rate of 7.2 per cent of pay.
 Commenting on the September results, Secretary Morgenthau said: '"The American people have re- sponded patriotically to the nations need for money with which to fight and win the war. With heavy in- come tax payments in September, we had expected a temporary de- cline in bond sales. Every previous September has been & bad month for bond sales ever since the old baby bonds first appeared in 1885. This September has been an excep- tion and indicates that the Amer ican people are becoming increas- ingly aware of the seriousness Of the nations danger"
 "War bond activities of labor and management during September and the continued drive by retailers throughout the country were sub stantial contribution to the success full sales in September" Secretary Morgenthau went on.
 But the greatest impetus of all came from the scores of motion pie ture stars appearing at bond rallies in more than 300 cities and from thousands of motion picture thea ters which sold war bonds at regu- lar and special performances. These war bond rallies not only stimu- lated sales in excess of the quota, but produced millions of dollars in intensified payroll savings among the employees of shipyards, aircraft factories, and hundreds of other in dustries, large and small.
 ''I would be remiss if I did not express my especial thanks to all those in the motion picture indus try-the theater owners, the stars, the producers, the theater employees, and in fact everyone in the industry who worked so unselfishly in Sep tember to make the months war bond record success"

Timoshenko's Attacks Cut Off Fleeing Nazis

The bloodiest battle in the entire district preceded a German break through, and the occupation of Sev- eral blocks. But the Germans had no sooner began to demolish walls and fortify stone houses than the Russians counter attacked and cleared them out.
 In a neighboring district, Soviet guards recaptured three streets.
 II Tanks Destroyed
 The Russians ommunique last midnight had told of 12 German tanks breaking through yesterday Eleven were destroyed.
 The noon communique said o1 the Stalingrad battle:
 Fierce fighting continues in the Stalingrad area. The enemy con- tinues to bring up new forces and throw them into battle immediately
 "A battalion of German infantry attacked positions held by one oi our units six times. All attacks were repulsed, five tanks destroyed and a company of the enemy wiped out.

 There was no indication of the number of men the enemy has landed, but the last two naval com muniqueS have mentioned specific ally that landing operations were continuing.
 In a communique issued last night, the Navy said:
 The enemy continued to land small attachments of troops on the island (GuadalcanaD under cover of darkness"
 In communique issued Monday, the Navy said:
 Tn spite of our determined air attacks it has not been possible to prevent the enemy from landing small troop endorsements on Guadalcanal under cover of dark ness"
 The lack of ground fighting on Guadalcanal recently indicated that the Japanese are using the lull to strengthen their forces before un- dertaking another counter-d drive Another all-out attack on the Guad- alcanal air field, seized by marines from the Japanese early in August, is expected momentarily. If the en- emy succeeds in recapturing the air field, American positions in the Sol- omons may become untenable.
 Until last nights communique, enemy landings were beig made only from small boats which sneaked up to the Guadalcanal shores during the night from other islands in the Solomons group. Now. however, big ger naval vessels are being used as transports.
 During the night of Oct. 3-4 when the heavy cruiser was hit, 1t and several destroyers were, in the Navy's own words. engaged in land ing troop achievements on Guad- alcanal."
 Japanese attempts to knock out the Guadalcanal air field by aerial bombing have proved less successful than their landing operations, One Of the most surprising disclosures about the enemy's attempted bomb- ing raid on Oct. 3 was the inferior ity In numbers Of the American fighter planes - seven Wildcats against 90 zeros. Heretofore the disparity has not been so great ale though the Japanese raiders invar- lably have outnumbeFed tho defend CTS. There was no explanation Of this.
 So far tn Japanese have lost 2S0 planes in the battle of the Solo. mons. In the attack by Navy and Marine corps dive bombers on the heavy cruiser and deslroyers during landing operations, one American plane was shot down, but the crew was saved,

 "On another sector northwest of Stalingrad, Soviet troops repulsed counter attacks. The Germans at tackled height 10 times and were repulsed. Over 300 of the enemy were killed and 27 machine guns and four mortarS destroyed. Soviet infantry shot down three German planes"
 Nazi Pressure Increases
 German pressure increased on the two Caucasian fronts: in the Mozdok valley and southeast of Novorossisk.
 Despite heavy losses, the Ger mans rushed endorsements into the Mozdok area and attacked Rus sian positions guarding the road to the Grozny oil fields. The Russians acknowledged last night that they had given up an inhabited point.
 Tn the Mozdok area, Soviet troops repuised infantry and tank attacks, the noon communique said. "One unit destroyed seven tanks and company of infantry. The lieutenant of another unit within 24 hours personally destroyed three tanks with his anti-tank rifle"
 Bitter fighting ragged below Novo- roSsisk, where the Germans were trying to reach the Black Sea (prob- ably in the Tuapse area).
 A mountain peak blocked the en- emy advance. The Russians had oc- cupied the western slopes and was driving the enemy back, although front line dispatches said the Ger man Edelweiss Alpin division had succeeded in taking one pass and was bringing up cannon and heavy equipment with mules.
 The Russians themselves were bringing up endorsements, and their pack horses threated preca- riouS mountain trails laden with shells, mines, guns and ammunition.

phase of activity in Norway. There had been mutinies among quislings ordered to enlist to fight Russia and there have been persistent reports of the execution of scores of Ger man soldiers in northern Norway for mutiny.
 There was still no sign of a solu- tion of the crisis in German-Dan- ish relations.
 Stockholm heard that the Ger mans were preparing to make dras- tic demands on Denmark, including the concession of wide powers to Fritz Claussen, Danish Nazi leader, and the inauguration of 8 brutal anti-Jewish campaign.
 But above all, it was said, the Germans sought to force the Danes to take part more directly in the German war effort, either by de- claring war on Russia or by pro- viding volunteers" for the Russian front.
 There was strange angle to the volunteer situation. The so-called Free Corps of Denmark, recruited to fight Russia, is now home on leave. It is due to go back to Russia next Monday. Stockholm reported today, however, that not only is there no sign that it is getting ready to leave but that the entire viking Diyi- sion," made up of Netherlanders Norwegians, Films and others from 'Teutonic' countries, is to be sent to Denmark on leave.
 Supplementing reports from north western Europe was a dispatch yes- terday in the Stockholm newspaper Aftontidningen that American di- plomats at Helsinki, Finland, were preparing to leave, apparently on state department orders, and that it was believed the United States might soon break relations with Finland.

LONGER VOTING HOURS SOUGHT
Appeal Sent by Local Union Executives to Gov-
 ernOr Robert Hurley

Gov. Robert A. Hurley today had under conside requests by a number of organizations for the extension of voting hours on elec- tion day. John J. DriScoll, secre- tary- treasurer of the Connecticut CIO Council, last night telegraphed the governor to ask that whatever action is necessary" be taken to insure longer voting hours. The governors only possible step in this regard, apparently, is to call a special session of the General As sembly.
 Numerous cities and towns, in cluding Waterbury, had planned to allow the polls to remain open un- til D. m. However, Republican leaders in Greenwich claimed that the statutes required closing of the polls at 6 D. m. and secured g. de- cision in their favor from Judge John A. Cornell of the superior court. Secretary of State Chase Going YToodhouse had claimed that the statutes fixed only minimum voting hours, and did not set any 11Adh1IIlu4u.
 MT. Driscoll said that thousands of war workers would be unable to vote if the polls are open only from 6 a. m: to 6 p. m.
 Joining the CIO in its appeal are the Connecticut Federation of Labor and number of other groups.
 Hartford, Conn, October 7-(UP) -Gov. Robert Hurleys today sum- moned the legislative council to g meeting Friday at 2 p. m., to dis cuss the possibility of special ses- sion of the Legislature to consider extending the voting hours beyond the 6 D. m, deadline.
 "The possibility of a special ses- sion will be discussed" said the gov ernor.
 Gov Hurley said that the execu- tive council of the CIO, through its secretary John J. Driscoll, Water bury, added to mounting demands for special session. Driscoll, he said, insisted the session was neces. sary, but added that several man. ufacturer already had volunteered to give workers time off for voting purposes.
