Potter of 115 Woodside avenue, paymaster at the American Brass Company who was arrested on a warrant June 9 for illegal storage of about IS gallons of gaso- line, was overruled in 8 memoran- dunn of decision handed down this morning by Municipal Court Judge John Gaffney.
 The demurrer, four pages in length, referred to Waterbury's anti gasoline storage ordinance as "a product of the gay sos. the linen duster, and tied down hat with veil" The demurrer claimed that the or- dinance in question, passed by the Board of Aldermen January 31, 1898, and approved February 9, 1898, twas not intended to serve other than as check and restriction upon the sale or storage for same of imf1am- mable liquids and compositions within the confines of the City of Waterbury"

 Its Roster

London, Aug. IA. (UP)-Benito Mussolinis Fascist party is going through 8 volcanic purge in which more than 66,OO0 members already have been dismissed and many more are to go, Italy admitted today.
 Mussolini presided yesterday at a meeting of the National Directorate of the party at which the general secretary reported the dismissal of the 66,O0O. The dismissals were made on the advice of provincial secre- taries, who evidently had been in- structed weeks before to combat their membership lists. It had been known that many Fascists had been cheating by using their offices to get quantities of food which they sold on the black market and that occasionally one of them, without proper influence. bad been uenalized.

Rev. Molzahn Accused Of Making Speeches"
Government Charged Minister With Doing Just That Since He Took Stand; Bund Leader Kunze
 Expected to Take Stand
By JACK AMMAN United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)

United Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 14-(UP)- The government charged today that the Rev. Kurt E. B. Molzahn, Phil adelphia pastor on trial on spy charges, "has been making speeches since he got on the stand" and se- cured an admission that in 1884 the pastor delivered 8 speech partly in favor and partly against" the Nazis
 The pastor was explaining a phrase in a German newspaper ac- count of a speech he made in Phil adelphia, Oct. 12, 1884, after his re- turn from a trip to Germany, when Prosecutor Joseph P. Cooney arose and charged:
 He's been making speeches since he got on the stand"
 The defense objected, but the court allowed the accusation to stand.
 In answer to an inquiry as to where he secured all the detailed in- formation in the 1884 speech, and as to whether he received 1t from the Nazi propaganda machine, the Rev. Molzahn declared:
 T did not make any speech in favor of the Nazi regime"
 But later he admitted the talk was partly for and against the Nazls.
 At another point he asserted, T did not adopt the Nazi party line, ? and again he testified T was not supplied by the Nazl ministry of propaganda with information, but I cannot recall where got it."
 The government charged the speech referred to Hitler as 8 torch bearer" for the people. and the min ister explained that's what the people do over there. only stated certain facts"
 The pastor said T have admitted certain things in Germany have done benefit for the people" but in answer to a question from Cooney:
 Dir you ever praise Adolf Hit ler?"

 Senator Lawlor's withdrawal would seem to leave the field open to ex- Rep. John F. Tobin, the only candi- date who has announced himself for the nomination. However, possibil- ity that the city hall would enter 8 candidate in the race was not by any means removed. A party leader was reported to have told 8 Demo- cratic worker asked to allow the use of his name on the delegate list of MT. Tobin: "Wait awhile; we'll prob ably have a candidate of our own before this is over"
 Friends of Senator Lawlor were by no means as restrained as he was. One associate, who played prom inent role in the 194O primary, de- clared:
 "Joe's not running because the city hall is carrying out its deal with Tobin. Johnny gave them the h. dependent Democratic party in 1939. They're paying him back now"
 Statements like these were not in harmony with rumors filling the city hall that the party leadership had decided to oppose Tobin with an- other candidate. Tickets of delegates to the senatorial convention must be filed with the Democratic town committee between and 9 o'clock Monday night.

TWO IMPORTANT
 SEA, AIR FIGHTS
Have Taken Place on Op= pOsite Sides of Globe;
 Success for Allies
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War DeSk)

Two important naval-air engage ments have taken place on opposite sides of the globe, and from the in- complete information so far avail able, the United Nations have achieved 8 measure of success in both.
 One action was in the Solomon Islands, northeast of Australia, and the other in the Mediterranean. Both had important objectives.
 In the Pacific, the United States forces are seeking to occupy the Solomon Islands. If the operation is successful, the islands will pro- vide bases which will protect Aus tralia's flank, guard the supply line to Australia and Ne.7 Zealand and be the strategic key to the task of rolling the Japanese back from New Guinea and later the Philippines.
 In the Mediterranean, the Brit ish objective was to land essential supplies on Malta. This has been successful, according to an Admir- alty communique from London.
 The importance of the tiny island of Malta cannot be exaggerated.

Navy Department Is Keep. ing Results Secret for

 PROCLAIMED VICTORY Marines Driving Japs Back in Slashing Hand-to.
 Hand Battles
BY DON CASWELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
 General MacArthur'S Head quarters, Australia, August 14. - (UP) = United States Marines have captured Ku- kum, on Guadalcanal Island, most valuable airdrome site in the southern Solomons, and the Japanese seaplane base off Tulagi, it was be- lieved today.
 Confidence, restrained pending q definite conmunique by the Navy Department at Washington, rose steadily in Australia that the Ma rines now held firm and meant to keep their hold in the islands.
 This confidence was increased by new fantastic Japanese claims re- garding Allied naval losses, which admittedly were expected to be heavy, because 1t was believed the Japanese were cushioning their pub- lie opinion against news that the Marines had consolidated their po- SitionS.
 Reports to Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur's southwest Pacific head quarters indicated that the marines were still driving inland in savage hand to hand fighting, on at least three key islands and that they might already hold two or more useful atolls in the Tulagi- Florida Guadalcanal area.
 The United States and allied fleet and air forces continued fighting a fierce battle on the eight day of the Solomon Islands offensive, the first big United States offensive operation of the Pacific war.
 It was indicated that the fleet was driving off probably inferior enemy surface units and fighting back against a ferocious enemy aer- ial attack, with its hard-pressed naval planes.
 First Casualties
 United States South Pacific naval headquarters reported that the first casualties of the Solomon Islands battle had arrived at American base and field hospitals somewhere in the South Seas, 70 be attended by med- ical units of Johns Hopkins, Penn- Sylvania and Maryland Universities, and that more were on the way.
 Gen. MacArthur's communique No. 123, issued at noon today at head- quarters, reported a ferocious ate tack on a Japanese reinforcement fleet in New Guinea waters, evil dently bound for the southern Sol omonS.
 Boei:.g flying fortresses and med. ium bombers, believed to be Martin two-motored B-26s, fastest of thei1 class in the world, rivaling that ot some fighters, attacked the fleet three times yesterday in foEc9 and though the weather interferd witl observation or results, 1t was hoped that shattering if not fatal blov had been given to the enemy war; ships and transports steaming to- ward the battle zone.
 The first fleet of MacArthrrt planes, flying fortreses, were chal' lenged by six Japanese zero fighterl and shot down two and damaged three. Medium bombers which made up the second fleet engaged seven zeros and shot down one. The third fleet, believed to have been com posed of both fortresses and med- iums, was not challenged.

 Bombay, Aug. 14.-(UP)-India appeared to be growing more quiet today but mobs still ranger some areas of Nagpur province and scores more Indians in Bombay and Ah- medabad were arrested.
 The All-India radio placed the of- ficial death toll of the outbreaks at about 40 thus far, somewhat low CT than unofficial reports had in- dicater.
 No new disturbances were re- ported in Bombay and New Delhi for some hours. However, an addi- tional 40 persons were arrested in Bombay and two persons died of in juries suffered previously, bringing the Bombay toll to 34.
 In the Nagpur outbreaks the death toll stood at six killed and IS ia- jured.
 Thirty persons were arrested at Ahmedabad and work in some mills was interrupted.
 In some New Delhi quarters re- ports circulated that Indian mem- bers of the viceroy's council are hoping to persuade the British to introduce tangible steps to indicate their willingness to transfer more governmental powers to the In- dians.
 It was suggested that the Bri- tish might issue an unequivocal declaration promising absolute In- dian independence after the war, that they might transfer home fi- nance control to Indians and that the control by the secretary of state for India of Indian affairs be sus- pended.
 Fired Into Crowds
 At two points the police, backed by troops, fired several times on crowds.
 Official reports said the rioters were mainly laborers who surged through riot areas footing, starting fires and wrecking property.
