Bartholomew was leading the
pack on the fourth 10 last lap OF
the Smile grind, and was looked
upon as certain winner of the
championship. But as he was COM

and fell. He made a desperate eff

fare rages in Yugoslavia, where Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch's 200, 900 troops are battling 600,00O Axis soldiers along the border of Yugo- slavia and Italy. Guerrilla bands in Albania, Greece, Rumania and France harass the Axis night and day.
 The Germans admitted growing unrest. Their radio said Polish guer- rillas were sabotaging German trains for the Russian front. Three Poles were executed for having been members of bands that de- railed trains near Warsaw. Seven Polish railroad men were shot for derailing German train near Lub- lin, and another near Cracow.
 French GuerriIlas
 The headquarters of Gen. Charles De Gaulle, leader of the fighting French, reported the French guer- rillas had ambushed 8 German column in Normandy, .dynamited a German military canteen in Brest, blown up railway line and derail- ed train near Le Havre and wrecked an electrical transformer near Lorient.
 The Germans arrested a new group of hostages in Holland, in- cluding the Dutch "Kipling," Anton Van Duinkerton, who will be shot if sabotage continues. In an effort to stop underground resistance in the Netherlands, the Germans have started transporting Dutch youths to Germany for forced labor. Eyen- tually, the Germans plan to trans port 100000 Dutch males to Ger many and occupied Russia.
 But this obviously has not solved the German labor problem. Radio Vichy appealed to Frenchmen to obey Pierre Laval's wishes and go to Germany to work in factories. It admitted that few had gone so far.
 The German radio appealed to all persons of German origin in other nations to return and help solve the labor problem, specifically mentioning the French unoccupied zone and North Africa.
 "All persons of German origin are summoned in their own inter- est to claim repatriation by the end of this month," it said.
 The German supreme command also announced that operations against guerrillas in the mountains of Bosnia are proceeding accord ing to plan," with German, traitor Croatian and Hungarian troops fighting them. The guerrillas now are split into three groups, it said, and two were bottled up, while the third was making raids on the ci- vilian populations.
 Regarding reports that Reich marshal Hermann Goering had been busted as commander of the German Air Force, radio Berlin said: We still have our Hermann, who keeps on running the Luft- waffe to our satisfaction"

dozen Kawanishi flying boats, sea- plane and landbased observation and fighter aircraft haunted the murky sky. Other ships were sighted ar- irving from the south.
 The fog closed in tight and stayed most of the day and bombers had to drop their loads through mist. When the mist rolled back two Catalinas dropped down to a thou sand feet and dumped pair of heavy bombs each on a destroyer and light cruiser. All were punishing near misses.
 Q Another liberator was lost during the day, but the remainder made di- rect hits on two cruisers and a de- stroyer and left them burning.
 A torpedo carrying Catalina var led its routine by attacking heavy cruiser standing up to Kiska from the south. The torpedo went into the water and the peppered plane boomed out as the cruiser turned to avoid attack. The ship didn't make it for suddenly wall of water sky reelected along her side and she lurched suddenly in her course. It was clean hit.
 Plane Didn't Wait
 Whether she sank is a matter for historians to record. The plane didn't wait to sec.
 The first bombing flights yester- day found something new in the way of trouble. Nobody had seen the Jap carriers for several days but now carrier zeros were working over the island. It seemed to indicate the carriers close proximity but no con- tact was made during the day.
 While American bombers kept LID their round-trip destruction the Japs made a few tentative stabs eastward. Observation planes scout ed along the islands as far as Um- nak, just east of Dutch Harbor.
 Several attacks on Kiska were driven off by zeros but others got : through. Army bombers reported two direct hits on a heavy cruiser.
 The fight goes on through the gloom of night and the practically Identical gloom of day. No battle ever fought witnessed conditions so viciously unfriendly to both sides.

 Their efforts will be directed to- wards filling the War Production Boards quota of 306,000 tons of scrap steel assigned to Connecticut. This tonnage must be shipped be- fore December 31.
 Connecticut's per capita quota is one of the highest in the United States.
 Seth Low Pierrepont, Chairman of the State Salvage Committee said today. while the major portion of this scrap must come from com mercial sources, we can never meet the quota without 100 percent CO., operation from every home. This quota is tremendous, but Connecu- cut will meet it.
 The Scrap Raid is just the first bombshell in our drive to i'll steel factories to the brim with scrap so they can keep turning out tanks and planes and ships "A hours a day all through the winter, when scrap movement is slow. Industry will do it's job, but we can't find 3O0,OOO tons of steel unless everyone turns in every bit of metal which he can get along without until the war Is won"
 Waterbury Ready A scrap Metal Raid to round ,n many tons of used metal still not turned over to the war production drive. will be held in Waterbury Sat,lrdav. August 1. It will be 8 whirlwind, one-day drive during which every street in the city will be convassed,
 Chairman J. Warren Upson, of the Defense Salvage committee today named a committee to arrange 1ol the drive and to supervise Its execu- tion. On the committee are the five Waterburians who served al chairman of the metal salvage drives in their respective sections not long ago, also representatives of loca newspapers and radio stations.
 The local raid" will be part Of concerted state effort scheduled fol August 1. In every city and toWr of the state. volunteer canvassers will solicit all possible scrap metals of every description.
 Taking part in the Waterbur! drive will be fleets of trucks anc scores of volunteers. The can vassers will go from door to dool seeking contributions of scrap metal needed to aid the victory effort Prior to the drive, householders vii be asked to comb their homes from top to bottom to locate scrap meta which may have been previously overlooked.

BEAVERBROOK IN
 BRITISH WAR PORT
(Continued from Page 1.)

 brook now was considering an offer from Churchill but that he with held his decision hoping for some sort of assurance that 8 full scale invasion of the continent would be attempted.
 Beaverbrook, Canadian born news paper publisher, served for 8 time su the cabinet as minister for afr craft production and minister of supply. His friends held that he had speeded up production; his enemies that he had not.
 A complication now, 1t was said, was the Deputy Minister Clement Alley and Labor Minister Ernest Bevin, labor leaders in the war cab- anet, opposed Beaverbrook's inclu- sion. Friends of Sir Stafford Cripps, third labor party power in the war cabinet of seven members, denied re- ports that he, too, was opposed.
 Some Suggestions
 There were some suggestions, per- hapg originating. with friends of Beaverbrook, that Churchill soon might give up his post of Defense Minister, while retaining some con- trOl over defense problems.
 British and American leaders here are Ye-examining all the problems which confront the Allies as the re- suit of the continued German drive against Russia and of the threat of Q Japanese sneak attack
 The atmosphere for the talks was growing more tense. It was under stood that those involved were studying every detail of the argu- ments for and against an invasion of Europe. The problem was dis cussed, and 8 decision was reached, presumably, when Churchill recent 1y visited Washington.
 There was growing demand here that any general time which might have been decided upon for the blow must be advanced because of the German drive in Russia.
 It was recognized, however, that strategic considerations enter into the problem and 1t was agreed that, # the Allies invaded Europe, they must be sure they could remain.
 Most people believed that any in- yasion this year would have to start before winter set in and that in any event, summer, Fall or winter, the question of favorable weather was a major factor. The tricky European weather has forced the abandon lment of many planned British plane xaids on Germany and of the small scale commando raids.
