TRIPLE SMASH
 AGAINST RUSSIA
Continued from Page D

During the night on the Kursk and Sevastopol fronts our forces fought battles against the enemy. On other sectors there were no im- portant changes" the first Soviet communique today said.
 It did not report any changes in the Kharkhov front, but earlier front line dispatches said that Mar shal Semyon Timoshenko had stop- ped the advance east of Kupyansk, 60 miles southeast of Kharkov, and had counter-attacked in one sec- tor and recaptured several inhab- tied localities. German tank forces, however, still were reported storm- ing Soviet positions and at the ex- pense of mounting losses trying to pierce the defenses.
 Important Junction
 Kursk, an important railway junction, is 275 miles southwest of Moscow. The Germans captured 1t last autumn. By his new offensive from that direction, German Field Marshal Fedor von Book apparently intended to strike at Soviet posi- tions near Kharkov in a wide en- circling movement from the north and simultaneously cut of troops from the Russian army which had advanced towards Smolensk during the winter.
 The assault on Sevastopol, now in it's 23rd day, was designed to clear the Russians out of the Crim- ca, so the Germans can proceed with an expected thrust across Kerch stairt toward the Caucasus and its oil.
 Dispatches described Sevastopol as a meat grinder" which already had cost Col. Gen. Fritz Erich von Mannstein more than 6O,000 of his best men, besides hundreds of tanks and planes.
 German artillery necessarily shelled the city, now in ruin, and dive bombers droned over day and night.
 A correspondent reported that the hardest fighting was around Mala- khov Kurgan hill, southeast of Sev- astopol city and the highest point in the vicinity, whose storming in 1855 was responsible for the city's fall after a siege of ii months. The hill was quaking. he said. from the explosions of bombs and shells, but the defenders hurled back German assaults.
 The Black sea fleet was in con- stant service, eyacuating the wounded. women and children, and delivering provisions and annmuni- ton,

German Field Marshal RommeI Drives Ahead

| flcially sponsored, that Lieut.. Gen. Nell N. Ritchie had been relieved of his command of the Eighth Arrny)
 The new Matruh-H -Hamza front had been developing since Satur- day. On the British success in pre- venting a break through depended the fate of Matruh, and a decision whether, if a break were made, it would be better to abandon 1t or to try to hold 1t under siege.
 Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's 2lst armored and 90th light divi- sions which had advanced along the coastal railroad and the railroad from the west still were north of Hamza, with the Italian Ariete and Trieste division backing them up.
 The German 18th armored divi- sion was south of Haniza.
 Tn their counter-attacks, strong British armored formations were striking at all possible points against the heavier Axis forces which Rommel was driving relent- lessly forward.
 It was reported here that new heavy endorsements had reached the eighth army, including a six pounder anti-tank gun which al- ready had been put into action with god results.
 British artillery, in new and strong supplements, hammered ut advancing Axis tanks and the Royal Air Force, aided by United States army bombing planes, attacked the German front line positions and heavily raided areas behind the lines where the Germans were moving ptheir supply columns.
 ROmHnel GambIeS Everything
 Rommel appeared to be gambling everything on the chance of a break through which would give him the chance to repeat at Matruh his To- bruk victory which threw the Brit ish out of Libya.
 Allied armored strength has been increased while Rommel has receiv- ed only light Italian endorsements
 What Rolnmels position was as regards fuel was not known. It was believed that all water installations at Tobruk had been destroyed and 1t was hoped that fuel supplies hal been burned.
 Only slight German aerial activ- ity was noted over the front, and 1t was believed that the Germans were compelled to keep many planes in the rear to protect ports and the supply lines which British and American planes were attacking.
 The highly mobile tank tactics now being used would be familiar tc many American soldiers. They were used effectively in the Louisiana Texas peacetime maneuvers which this correspondent observed last Isummer.
 Major General Dwight D. Eisen- hover, new commander of the Flu. ropean theater of operations fol United States forces, was chief ot staff in those maneuvers, to Lieu tenant General Walter Krueger.
 It is an adaptation of these tac- tics which the Germans have used in northern Africa.

CHINESE FIGHT
 WITHOUT LET UP
Continued from Page D


 Five hundred horses and quanti- ties of supplies were captured, it added, and the Chinese there are lousy counting the booty"
 From recaptured Kweiki, 30 miles southeast of Nanchang, the western Japanese prong was reported creep ing forward, less than 50 miles from junction with Q stalled eastern column.
 The Chinese high command said merely that fighting is continuing" around Kweiki, which the Japanese reoccupied last week after being driven back l2 miles. For nearly two weeks, the Chinese have re- pulsed every attempt by the eastern column to advance beyond Shang- jao.
 Dispatches from northern Honan said counter = attacking Chinese troops killed 1000 Japanese in re- capturing Linhsien near the Shansi border area west of the Pciping- Hankow railway. A communique said all enemy attacks had been driven back and that a large num- Der of Japanese faced imminent annihilation" in an adjacent moun- tainouS area.
 The official Chinese Central News Agency reported from northern Hu- nan that more than 1000 Japanese had been killed during the past two weeks, bringing to $500 the total enemy casualties in B days.
 These casualties, Central said, were inflicted during persistent Chinese attacks on Japanese garri- sons at Yochow and Linsiang, enemy bases in northern Human. From Yochow, the Japanese last winter moved down the Canton Hankow railway in their offensive against Changsha.
 Chinese ground forces in Kiangsi- Chekiang sector have received in- creasing support from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's developing air force, c entral reported. It said Chinese pilots last week inflicted heavy losses" on enemy personnel and military installations in strong attacks in eastern Kiangsi.
 More than 200 Japanese soldiers were said to have been killed or wounded in aerial assaults on Jap- anese pontoon bridges across @ Flu river tributary about nine miles southeast of Nanchang.

CHURCHILL HAS
 FIGHT ON HANDS
(Continued from Page D

It was indicated that Churchill, adopting the course which his advisers had recommended, would demand a vote on the most hostile of a series of motions on the direc- tion Of the war, a motion which attacks him directly in his capacity of minister of defense. Adoption Of guch motion would mean Church. llis resignation.
 Churchills position in the debate Was believed to have been strength ened by the joint statement issued on Mis. talks at Washington with President Roosevelt with it's im- piled promise of intensified allied action to aid Russia and China,
 Needs Some Good News
 But the government still was in need of some good news to reassure public feeling, and 1t was held in parliamentary quarters that bad news such as a new defeat in Egypt, would increase the number os the nrime minister's open enem- les, now estimated to number hardly A&AU4C tAxn1l GO AA4 1 NOAAAAAAOAAo AAASA@A bership of 615.
 There were reports that the prime minister would like to hold his fire until the end of the war debate. leaving Sir Stafford Cripps nx Mai. Attlee to open for the government. But members of com mons who head the reports seemed dissatisfied and It was believed that Churchill might decide to open himself, and then speak again at the closing.
 It was evident that commonrs. and the public wanted. to hear Churchill speak frankly and fully not only on the Ldbyan defeat but on tho entire war situation, in- eiuding his talks at Washington and the shipping situation.
 Hence it was indicated that the government. which at first wanted t0 keep Eibya. tke war generally and the shipping question separated might have to turn the debate into oae which would cover every phase eE she var.

EAST MOTORISTS
 PAY MORE FOR GAS
Continued from Page D

The shortage and the price irl- crease revived talk of extending the gasoline rationing area and in- creased pressure for 6 quick de- cision by congress on proposals to establish a $5O0,0O0,0 900 war petrol cum corporation.
 The once of Price Administration was reported to oppose plan, advo- cated late last week in some circles for different rationing systems for the east coast ard other sections that is one set of gallonage rates in the east and another for group ot states such as Ohio, Indiana, H. linois and Michigan. OPA officials are believed to ravor the same sys. tenn countrywide If that becomes l necessary.
 Meanwhile, the Oftice of Petrol cum coordinator was reported con- sidering extension of the eastern rationing area to western counties of Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia.
 They said it would be easier tc administer the new permanent sys- tenn for the east If boundaries were revised along state lines.
 The house banking and currency committee continues hearings thiS week on the War Petroleum Corpo- ration bill. The corporation woult be empowered to buy and sel petroleum products and absorb mar. keting costs that would otherwise result in losses to oil producers. I also would be authorized to dea with the problem of transporting storing and producing oil.
 But the price increase in gasoline in the east, ordered by OPA Ad. miniStrator Leon Henderson laSt week to become effective today be. cause of increased transportation costs, did not improve the prospect of favorable congressional action or Henderson's demands for appropria. tions to hold price ceilings by fed. eral subsidies. There is widespread belief in Congress that the best way of meeting the problem of increased costs in handling gasoline is to lei the prize rise so that consumers will pay the increase.
 Some Step Necessary
 Oil Coordinator Harold L. Ickel told the house banking committed last week that some step such a. the Petroleum Corporation wal necessary to forestall "unnecessar. fly stringent rationing. perhaps ar actual shortage of petroleum for thu war effort"
 Rep. Albert Gore, Dr., Tenn. banking committee man who fought unsuccessfully year ago to have prices, wages. and profits frozen by law, said he would urge the com. mittee to act favorably on the Petroleum Corporation legislation.
 "In this instance" he said, T be- lieve Henderson is right"
 Gore referred to Henderson, statement that. the increased oil transportation costs would better bf handled by federal subsidies than by price increase.
 Govt. Must Pay More
 "If the price increase stands, Gore said, "the government will just have to pay more for the oil 1t buys, manufacturers of other commodi- ties, shipped by truck, will demand an increase in their ceiling to meet their increased costs and defense workers will demand higher wages to pay their added gasoline costs.
 'sTlius the vicious spiral will be started. If we're going to hold prices generally we're going to have to hold those which particularly af- feet the others"

FRESHMEN ATTEND
 ANNUAL BANQUET

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-29

York City, in his weekly radio ad- dress yesterday, protested the in- crease on the grounds that 1t was being assessed against eastern con- sllmers instead of the citizens of the country as a whole. He said he understood the increase would be used solely to pay back the oil coEn- panies for deficits they incurred in bringing the sharply reduced quan- titles of oil overland in recent months.
 EHe said that according to his in- formation the price advance will not be used to bring an increased low Of gasoline and oil to the east.

were excited and frightened but
they could take it. If they weren't
hardy they wouldn't have been at
Dutch Harbor.
THREE JAPS DOWNED
An officer aboard the transport
told of the downing of the three
Japanese planes-others said more
were hit and one wounded soldier
said, I'VE got IT., but at least three
were generally believed scored.
The officer said
Repeated waves of four and five
Jap bombers came over at attitudes
of 10000 to 10000 feet. The trans
ports crew threw up barrage of
fire at each formation.
Il am sure that at 6 am. the
men in my command had the trans
ports shell bursts bracketing one
bomber flying at $4,000 feet and at
range of $4,000 to $4,000 feet.
Smoke poured from it and the
plane fell beyond the mountain in
back of Dutch Harbor
"A pursuit ship dived on the port
side. NY battery saw shells burst
around the ship which was flying
at 600 feet and at a range of $50
feet With burst of smoke and flame
it staggered and flew lower and
lower toward the sea. We then di-
verted our attention to- the next at
tack.
RIFLES VS.. PLANES
"A pursuit ship dived on the star
board side of the transport. fly
ing at about the same altitude and
range. 1t, too, staggered, and with
burst of smoke and flame inflicted
by anti-aircraft fire disappeared
beyond Priestly Rock"
He said riflemen, meanwhile,
pumped continuous stream of bull
lets at the attackers to augment
the heavier weapons.
A leader among the evacuees was
John w, Fletcher, 36, mayor of Un-
alaska and operator of a motion
picture theater. He, like the rest,
was asleep when the firing started.
Awake in split second, he took
one glance out the window and saw
that "all hell had broken loose"
Il saw three planes dipping over
the bay he said. Il got my wife
down to the basement and when I
came up a soldier on guard as part
of the air raid alarm system point
ed out four big bombers. They were
heading for Dutch Harbor. I looked
in the other direction and saw
three more bombers and four small
er planes.
SAW BOMBS DROP
The first group of bombers now
was over Dutch Harbor and I saw
six bombs drop. I got out of my
car and loaded it with women anC
children and, along with my wife
headed for a deep valley. We were
about there when a small fighter
plane zoomed over the hill at 6
terrific speed.
Il said to my wife, Hot Dog
Here comes one of our fighters Bu
it wasn't. 1t was Jap plane.

The ship that brought them thru
submarine infested waters of the
North Pacific herself participated
in the action and her gun crews
played a valiant role in the defense
of Dutch Harbor.

asleep in their beds by the first
wave of japanese planes, said they
