 Agatta, Kska and Attu were moi defended. Thus. the task force at. tack on Agattu was not directed against a military installation.
 To date, US. losses have been "a number" of aircraft, and the old 3094-ton, station ship Northwest ern, which was destroyed during the second, and last, attack on Dutch Harbor on June 4. This at tack was not revealed until yes terday.
 The only other accomplishments of the enemy include minor" dam age to the naval station at Dutch Harbor and the Army post al nearby Fort Mears.
 The communique reported 94 cas- ualties sustained during the two raids on Dutch Harbor-44 military personnel killed and 49 wounded and one civilian employe killed. No men, tion was made of possible casualties sustained during occupation of the three islands.
 Observers believed it significant that the communique made nc mention of claim broadcast In German over the Berlin radio or July 10 that a large Japanese Japa- nese troop convoy had landed III the Aleutians.

(Continued from Page 1.) argument also as they discusse the Republican situation. They argue also that MT. Talbot's glowing rhet- orical support of ex-Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin for the gubernatorial nomination has cost him potential votes, for MT. Baldwin Is disliked in many fifth district quarters, in- cluding Republican towns.
 "It's too bad that Joe came home last week." commented a key Re- publican leader. However, the harm is done now and it's too late to do anything about it."
 Picture Confused
 Though ordinarily it would be presumed that Congressman Talbot would seek reelection to his present office, he has let his name be intro- duced in the discussion of nominees for lieutenant-governor and state treasurer. This has confused the whole Republican state picture.
 MT. Talbot is personally more popular than ex-Gov Baldwin and the creation of the impression that he can run for whatever offlce he chooses is sending MT. Baldwin into the background. This Is deemed po- litically unwise.
 Vexed At Leaders
 One theory advanced is that MT. Talbot is following his policy of in- decision to embarrass the state Re- publican leadership. It is no secret that the Naugatuck attorney was very much disgruntled at the failure of the state central committee to give him substantial financial sup port in his campaign last winter.

and alarm in the localities where they originate"
 At least 20 such false alarms have been sounded in New York state, Maine and New Jersey since the RhineEeck report, it was under stood, and the army criticized "gos- sip, rumor and exaggeration.
 The army cited three examples of such reports.
 A man in New York state told a 14-year-old boy that he had seen a parachutist dropped from 8 dark plane near the village.
 He quickAvb reported to author ities, who first checked the source They found the man was trying to cool or impress the boy.
 In 8 second instance in New York state, a man reported that he had seen parachutists land near his home. The army investigated the man before searching for parachut- ists and found that he was drunk.
 A third report was elaborately investigated with the result that 1t was found to have started in rumor.
 State police said they had not turned up any evidence to substant- fate reports that a parachutist had come down near the hamlet of Athol, N. Y, no miles from Rhine beck, last Tuesday.
 State Police Chief John A. War ner said, however, that his men would continue their search, both at Rhinebeck and Athol, and that all roadways around Rhinebeck were being watched by armed guards.

 With DaSch when he landed near Anagansett, were Ernrest Peter Burger, Henry Harm Heinck and Richard Quirin. It was the landing of this group which spread the alarm, as they were surprised by a young coast guardsmen who feigned acceptance of bribe SO that he might escape death and warn his superiors.
 The majority of witnesses heard thus far have been the F.BI coun- ter-espionage agents who apprehen- ded the saboteurs before they could carry out any phas of the sabotage campaign which the German high command had mapped out for them
 Ten of the saboteurs' IA confed- crates were arraigned in Chciago, Brooklyn, N. r., and New York City yesterday.
 They are being held on charges of being accessories and face sem tences up to half the penalties which the commission may impose on the saboteurs. If the saboteurs are executed, the penalty would be 10 years.
 One justice department officia, said that the placing of the acces- sorry charge did not wipe out possi. bilities that the 10 might be charged with treason.
 '"The charge is holding charge. he said.
 Three other confederates of the saboteurs, all aliens, will be placed in internment camps as dangerous while another Is being held for fur ther investigation.

Local Youth .Adrft At. Sea For Six Days

Howard w. Conner, %, sen of MT. and Mrs. Howard w. Conner, Sr., of 6l6 Willow street, is back at his home after an escape from death on a vessel t0rpedOed by . submarine in the Caribbean sea. The local man, a seaman i'm the U. s. Maritime service, experienced six days of burning in the hot sun and six nights of chilling by sharp sea winds at night while drifting on 3 raft waiting for help to ar- rive. On the seventh day after their ship was sunk, the youthful seaman relates, a Navy patrol vessel sighted them and soon a destroyer picked them up.
 The only food of the surviving seamen was hard tack, but they were fortunate enough to have water. No attempts were made by the crew of the submarine to machine gun the survivors, the local seaman happily tells his friends. Conner took . four month course in New York and experienced his first trip in sea service the early part of this year.

the Germans were trying to hold their positions in the Voronezh area at all costs. Their casualties were reported heavy.
 Forced Retreat
 In one Voronezh sector, the com- munique said, Russian tanks broke into the enemy line and the infan- try, following, forced the Germans into a hurried retreat. The Rus sians took three disabled tanks, seven field guns, nine trench mor- tars, four machine guns and an am- intuition dump, it was said.
 In the Millerovo area, the Rus sians in addition to their fierce counter attacks, repulsed numerous thrusts by German tank and infan- try forces, the noon communique reported.
 In an attack against superior numbers, the Russians broke the German lines south of Voronezh, forced their way across the river and established a bridgehead against which the Germans were reported to have thrown thousands of reinforce mentS.
 It was asserted that, in their att tack the Russians sent some Ger man units retreating in disorder.
 One German division of 15,0OO men suffered heavy casualties, an official statement said. The 222d German infantry regiment of 5000 men was reported wiped out and the 202d regiment was routed, 1t was asserted.

 Albert Wisausky, a guard at the Connecticut Light and Power sub- station on Baldwin street, said he heard the squeal of brakes and the sound of skiddIng tires just be- fore the light truck slithered into the highway fence. He raced to the overturned truck to lend aid. T knew something was going to crash when I heard those brakes squeal" he said.
 There is 8 curve in the road right at the point where the truck start ed its 45-foot death skid. Motor Patrolman Cullerton said that if Thomas was racing another car just before the crash it is possible that he was watching the other car 50 closely he did not notice the curve until too late-then cut his wheels too sharply.
 He said also. however, that if the blowout occurred before the truck hit the fence, its force could have been strong enougt to throw the truck off the road. The skid marks indicated that the truck was well over on its right side of the road.
 The scene of the accident is 8 four-lane highway between Nauga- tuck and Waterbury about one quarter of mile from the Nauga- tuck line. The truck turned over directly opposite the walled em- bankment which surrounds the South Main street side of the c. L. & P. sub-station.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 IN CANCER FIGHT
Encouraging Signs Noted in State Campaign; Few.
 CT Cases Reported

Seven years of applied interest by the medical profession and pub lie in the control of cancer in Con- necticut has brought about changes which predicate 8 brighter future says the weekly bulletin of the State department of Health. Since 1886 when the state cancer pro- gram began there appers to be g decreasing trend in cancer rates among females; among males the rates are rising less than formerly.
 Studies of ages at which cancer deaths occurred show that the can- Ger death rates for women are steadily declining in all age groups up to and through age 65, after which they suddenly rise. or men, among whom there is less cancer the rise in deaths from this disease occurs at age 55.
 The bulletin explained that it is too eafly to tell If this means that deaths from cancer are being prevented in younger age groups and are occurring with greater fre- quency in the older ages; or If 1t is possible to postpone, if not pre- vent, onset of the disease.
 Continuation of this improved situation will require continued and increased use of facilities already available for the control and pre- vention of cancer, the bulletin pointed out. Progress may not be spectacularly rapid, but it should be steady. Modern equipment and trained men now make possible ac- curate diagnosis and adequate treatment of cancer to a greater extent than ever before. People must learn to seek medical advice just as soon as suspicious symptoms arise. An annual health examination may be the means of revealing in- cipient cancer.

NSOAAtAI1QNO EdkC 4.J into the $12o,ooo,ooo appropriation for Leon Henderson's Office of Price Administration 8 prohibition against use of any funds for subsidy pay- ments.
 Senate and House conferees yes- terday agreed to strike out the phrase direct or indirect" in con- nection with the subsidy ban but members asserted the deletion would have no practical affect since the appropriation was intended wholly for 1943 administration of OPA.
 Late last spring, an attempt was made in the Senate to include spe- cific subsidy legislation in bill in- creasing the borrowing power of the Reconstruction Finance corpor- ation. But the legislation was re- ferred back to committee.
 One phase of MT. Roosevelt's s original anti imitation program, the $6,144, ,0O0,0 900 tax bill, now is being debated in the House with final vote expected on Monday.
 Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the Senate finance commit tee attended 8 White House con- ference with Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Ram dloph Paul, tax expert, to map Its course through the Senate. George said he planned to start hearings next Thursday and hoped to get the measure through the Senate during the first week of September.
 He said MT. Roosevelt suggested "in general terms that tax legisla- tion should eliminate special priv ilege to any group" but did not dis cuss in detail any provisions of the House bill, which falls short of the goal of $8,700,00,O 900 in new taxes set by the treasury.
 George said he believed wage con- trols were necessary to meet the inflaion threat.
 "Unquestionably," he said, there has got to be some wage control or the cost of living will run out of hand"
 He indicated the Senate may re- wise corporation taxes proposed in the House bill,, expressing opposi- tion to the rates proposed.
 Corporation income and excess profits taxes account for an esti- mated $2,479, 400 900 of the total. In preparing the measure, the House ways and YneanR c0mmiffAA farsf dA. cided on an effective rate of 40 per cent for corporations, and an excess profits tax of 94 per cent.
 Before reporting the bill, however, it voted to increase the effective corporation rate to 45 per cent and reduce the excess profits tax to 874z per cent.
