Old Liners Speeding
Drills 10 Make Up
For Lost Time

Maryland's footballers we're to
continue their double quick practice
sessions today for the Virginia tilt
at Charlottesville Saturday.
Coach Clark Shaughnessy, with
not enough time to do all the things
he'd like to do, is rushing his Old
Liners to get a changed offense and
a defensive setup against the pass
ing Of Tabb Gillette, the Cavalier
who has tossed himself into the
national spotlight.
Gillette likely will have to have a
keen eye Saturday to outshine
Tommy Mont, his rival quarterback
from Maryland, who also does the
kicking for the Old Liners.
Maryland will make little, if any
change, in the lineup for the
Cavalier game, although Bill Byrd
possibly may start at center in the
place of Paul Flick. Byrd is more
aggressive and a hard tackler.
The Old Liners will leave for
Charlottesville tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock and it is possible that
Shaughnessy will call morning drill
to give his charges a final tuning.
They rested Monday, and Tuesdays
session was limited to short indoor
drill because OF weather conditions.

riods between. she kept on writing
She had rich store Of energy, but
her health was not always equal to
her spirit. Time and again she spent
months in sanitariums and health
resorts, but even there she found
time for writing. While she was in a
Southern health resort, she started
her most famous book "Rebecca Of
Sunnybrook Farm" Published in
1908, 1t quickly rose to fame and
more than Z million copies were
sold. Seven years after it appeared,
1t was made into . moving picture,
with Mary Pickford q the heroine.

Three thousand copies were sold, and
the sale brought money to enlarge
the kindergarten.
For several years the young wom-
an found it hard to decide whether
to give her life to writing Or teach

 MT. Kenny is an active member of the Waterbury lodge of Elks. He is married and has four children He has been active in local politics for more than 20 years.
 MT. Kenny has been keenly in- terested in civic improvements and was one of these responsible for the establishment of the Fairlawn Man or playground several years ago. He has been leading figure in civic affairs.
 In announcing his candidacy, MT. Kenny made the following state ment:
 After months of consistent urg- ing by many close friends and by influential people in Waterbury and surrounding towns to run for Con- gress, and after 8 thorough con- sideration of all the facts in the case and 8 personal survey of the field-I am formally declaring my candidacy for the Democratic Nom- nation in the 9th Congressional District"

1 chances of escaping 1nterception greater.
 The raid on Dieppe apparently was a laboratory for another new | type of warfare-amphibious, mech anized forces.
 General Grants Used
 Keen interest was manifest in the fact that American General Grant tanks-M-3's-were used in the raid. They are substantial fighting ma chimes weighing around 29 tons and armed with 75 nm. guns. Their employment indicates that the Brit iSh or Americans have developed tank carrying craft capable of transporting and landing these monsters.
 That means that a mechanical amphibious blitz can roll right out of the sea onto land. In the daily range of mechanical warfare. 30 oY so miles of Engish channel is not g formidable distance would not prove formidable for amphibious mechanical forces when the tech nique is properly developed.
 Military experts suggested thal some of the most valuable result of yesterdays raid probably haw not been disclosed. They might either be concrete, such as the de. struction of undisclosed objectives or less tangible, the acquisition oJ particularly useful information.
 From the standpoint of the re suits in the air the raid was viewed as highly satisfactory. The Allies admitted the loss of 98 planes, witt 30 pilots saved. At the same tim, they accounted for 91 enemy plane destroyed for certain aerial com. bat, plus others by naval craft with the total probable enemy plan, losses estimated at over 100. In view of the present production position an even trade in plane. with the enemy is an advantage O, the United Nations.

RUSSIANS WERE FORCED BACKWARD
(Continued from Page D

On neighboring sectors, the Rus sians and beaten off two attacks and killed hundreds of Germans and still held strategic heights. A
 The noon communique reported that Russian forces had made "a number" of counter attacks around KletSkaya, which is 75 miles north west of Stalingrad and the Volga river line, and had wip0d out seven German tanks and battalion G,- 900 men) of infantry.
 Southeast of Kletskaya, 1t said, German troops which succeeded in crossing the Don river have been an- initiated. "On one sector alone, 18 German tanks and up to 1900 Ger mans were destroyed
 Northeast of Kotelnikovski, 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad, vio- lent fighting continued, particularly for a railway station which had changed hands several times, the communique said.
 An enemy column has been en- circled and wiped out in the area of Pyatigorsk in the North Cau- casus, the communique said.
 Apparently the Russians had re- stunned heavy attacks around Voro- nezh, on the upper stretches of the Don, because the communique re- ported $500 Germans killed and 27 tanks and 21 planes destroyed in that area in the last five days.
 The evacuation of Krasnodar, Q chemical and machine manufactur- ing city, and a railroad junction, of 217,000 population, was announced in last midnights communique.
 Soviet forces withdrew only after stubborn fighting in which the Ger mans lost heavily in men and ma terial, the communique asserted. Fighting was now going on south of Krasnodar, which is 63 miles from Novorossisk, and Cossack cav- airy units in counter attacks yes terday killed 500 Germans, the com- munique said
 The midnight communique indi- cated the Germans had not pro- gressed farther in their drives on Stalingrad and the Volga river line from the southwest and northwest.
 "In the area southeast of Klets- kaya (75 miles northwest of Stalin- grab Soviet troops repulsed numer- ous attacks by tanks and motorized infantry" it said.
 Northeast of Kotelnikovski (90 miles southwest of Stalingrad) So- viet troops engaged in stubborn fighting"
 It also reported that in the Py- atigorsk area of the North Cau- casus, more than 100 Germans were killed, and that battles of local im- portance" continued on the Lenin- grad front.
 On the Volkhov front, between Lake Ilmen and Leningrad, it as- serted, the enemy tried to cross river (apparently the Volkhov), but was repulsed with heavy losses by Soviet artillery.

 against each one as though it were. When the second front is opened. perhaps this fall, perhaps next spring, 1t will be preceded by a Commando landing on a large scale. The Commandos will establish a wide beachhead and hold it. Be- hind them will come the invading army, with divisions of 15.0O0 men, artillery, tanks and trucks. Over head great air armada will blan- ket the sky.
 The coming raids will be tests which will enable the British to determine with reasonable accuracy whether the Commando spearhead can hold It's position until the van- guard of the main army arrives. The invasion will not come until the high command is reasonably cer- tain of that.
 One feature of the Dieppe raid was the air superiority of the Allies, which appears to have been better than two to one. Despite heavy losses, the Germans suffered most heavily, and the enemy cannot af- ford it as well as we can.
 Also, in this latest operation the American flying fortresses demon strated their full value in the aerial offensive against Germany.
 The British have raised the ob- jection that the fortresses and Lib orators are not as good for night bombing of Germany as the British Lancasters and Stirlings because of the much lighter bomb load they can carry. The point is not disputed and was recognized before our bomberS were sent over.
 Different Types
 The planes are different types and were designed for different purposes. The British planes are built for short range bombings over Europe with heavy loads. They op- crate at night because they cannot reach the height the American planes can and are vulnerable by day to anti-aircraft and fighter attack.
 The American planes were design ed primarily for use over the long distances of the Pacific. They can operate in daylight at 30,000 feet or more and are hard to hit. From that height, their precision bomb sight enables them to hit their tar- gets with astonishing accuracy. The British night bombings are neces- sarily not nearly as accurate.
 On Monday, IS fortresses bombed Rouen in France and during the Dieppe action 23 of them bombed the air base at Abbeville. Both att tacks were in daylight and all the planes returned.
 On the basis of these perform ances, our bombers can play an important part in the invasion of France.

 The 18th district, which includes the fourth and fifth wards, is stirred by a contest reminiscent of the mo- holds barred primaries of years ago. MT. Tobin has announced support of the CIO program and has in turn been pledged the backing of CIO members against MT. Wallace.
 MT. Stanton is making his first venture into politics. While Senator Blansheld has been more or less connected with the Democratic prty here for some years. He was first elected to the senate in 1940 and was also named presidential elector in that year. MT. Stanton is president of the American Brass Go. CIO union.
 In the 16th district the situation is reversed. The organization candi- date, MT. Wallace is making his first bid for elective office, while MT. Tobin, who served as minority leader of the House at Hartford in 1929, is veteran of the political wars.
 The dopesters had it today that Senator Blansfield would win in the 18th district unless the labor vote poured out to the polls, and that the 16th district contest was a toss-up, with perhaps an edge to MT. Tobin.
 A defeat in either district would be sharp blow at City Hall pres tige, for the administration and the organization have broken precedent by coming out flatly for Mr. Blans- field and MT. Wallace. Mayor Scully yesterday issued bitterly critical statement against the CIO leaders.

 German sources gave no details on their own losses or how the British re-embarkation was carried out.

 Mead campaign managers claimed they were within 29 votes of the sos necessary for nomination against Farley's assertions that he held 670 delegates.
 In a brief address, Lee praised the national and state Democratic administrations.
 Being fully aware of the perils by which our nation is beset, we are proud that a Democratic admin istration Is again called upon to carry us through its trials" he said.
 "In the nation, as in our own state, we have established the prin- ciple in times of peace that the government is the servant of the people and not their master. Today in times of war we are demonstrat- ing t0 all the world that free neonln can outwork, outproduce, and out fight the enslaved and terror driven peoples of totalitarian govern ments."
 Lees mention of President Roose- welt and former Governor Alfred E. Smith and Governor Herbert H. Leaman brought scattered applause.

 'The Democratic party recognizes that the price our nation must pay to gain the four freedoms for the peoples of the world, and to achieve 8 lasting peace for ourselves, is to accept international responsibilities" the platform read.

question, clear and complete pie ture of the enemy defenses on the most strongly fortified stretch of the French coast and the knowledge that, under an umbrella of Brit ish and American planes, they can land in Europe at will.
 It may be assumed that as the result of this dress rehearsal for a full scale invasion, the entire for midable German army in western Europe will be forced on a 24-hour- a-day alert from now on, from the Brest Peninsula to Narvik on the Norwegian Arctic coast 1900 miles to the north.
 The toughest troops of four na- tions = United States Army rangers Canadian shock troops who will be the spearhead for the second front British commandos and fighting French, eager to get at German throats on their home soil - had proved that the second front is feasible.
 Results of Raid
 Military quarters, assessing the results of the raid they regard as a complete and inspiring success, said ::
 Tt proved that second front can be opened in the west at a price which may be calculated in advance.
 2-To open 1t while half-ready would be suicidal.
 3-The raid was effected with the greatest concentration of men, weapons and airplanes ever directed against an objective of such size.
 4EThere will be more and even bigger raids before the second front comes.
 5-The new raids will test the ability of shock forces to consoli- date and expand a bridgehead of the kind formed yesterday.
 6-Where companies of 300 men engaged the Germans at Dieppe, divisions of 15,00O will be needed for the second front.
 7-Yesterday's raid cost the Ger mans up to one-third of their fighter plane strength in western Europe, 91 planes certainly destroyed and another 100 damaged, many so se- verely they undoubtedly crashed, against 98 Allied planes of whose pilots, 30 were saved.
 8-The Allied plane forces dom- mated the air. On the present scale they probably could not do so If the second front were opened in the north, on the relatively thinly held Norwegian coast.
 9-The Germans will have to bring fighter planes to the west at once and they may have to reinforce their invasion coast armies.
