GOVERNORS NOT
 so WELL PLEASED
Reasonable Supply of Fuel Promised for New Eng-
 land by Officials
(NEA Telephoto)

Washington, Oct. 14.-(UP)-Six New England governors returned home today after being assured by President Roosevelt and office of petroleum coordinator officials that their citizens would be "rea- sonably supplied" with fuel oil this winter.
 Lowest estimate given on ''rea- sonable" oil supply was 6666 per cent of normal, unrestricted de- mand = the same as has been granted to other rationed areas. Gov. Robert A. Hurley of Connecti- cut said the conferences left him feeling assured of this minimum but nothing beyond that.
 Petroleum Coordinator Ickes said his office still hoped to supply 75 per cent of normal demand. In a joint statement, the governors gave still another figure of 70 per cent rationing of normal household de- mand eff receipts of fuel oil con- tinued on the present level"
 The governors expressed great dissatisfaction with this level which, they said, has filled New England storage tanks to only IA per cent of that regions winter needs while the other II Atlantic seaboard states have about 23 per cent of their needs in storage.
 'If shipments to the other eleven states had been limited to building up only IA per cent of their winters supply. New England would mean while have built up storage equaling A per cent of its winter require

Fierce 30 Minute Fight OfI Reinforced Navy Is Big
 American Victory

Six Japanese Warships Are Sent DOwn-U. s.

 Washington, October IA. (UP) - Japan's comeback attempts in the Solomons were at a virtual stop today because of a crushing ''re- venge" defeat inflicted on her naval forces. The engage ment was a fierce, 30-minuta night battle and it marked the return of American naval forces to the islands at 9 moment when they were most, need~s ed. The Japanese had been making frantic efforts to land troop reiEl- forcements on GuadalcanaI and partly succeeding.
 An American naval task force, re- placing the cruisers Astoria, Quincy and Vincennes lost in the opening naval battle of the Solomonss avenged that defeat Saturday night by sinking g Japanese heavy cruiser four destroyers and transport. The United tSates lost only one de- stroyer in that battle.
 At dawn on Sunday, Navy and Marine torpedo planes and dive bambers pursued the fleeing enemy force, knocked another cruiser out of action and probably sank another destroyer. Three days before Marine flyers had attacked another enemy naval force in the Solomons and scored hits on two cruisers, one of which was last seen down by the bow"
 One-A-Day Bombing
 At the other end of the Pacihd battle arc, Army bombers and f1ght- CTS continued their one-a-day bom@ bardment of Kiska in an effort to blast the Japanese out of their last remaining foothold in the Aleutian Islands. The new raids were made on Oct. 8, g, and 10 and a rain of demolition and incendiary bombs set fires ashore and damaged ships in the harbor. Significantly, the Navy said there was only moderate anti-aircraft gunfire and no air- craft opposition whatever.
 But the big naval victory and ths renewal of offensive operations by U. S. Marines on Guadalcanal riv~ eted attention on the Solomons. After weeks of defensive action--in which the burden rested on airmen the United States, by virtue of the sea triumph and reinforced ground elements, has now been able to take the offensive.
 Last word on land action was that the Marines had taken tic offensive and were slashing their way westward on the northern side of Guadalcanal. They apparently were moving toward the northwest area where the Japanese had made sizeable troop landings in the last week.
 It was while attempting further landing operations, that a Japanese force of cruisers, destroyers and transports was intercepted by the American naval task group at about midnight Oct. 1i-12.
 After 6 30 minute battle fought with guns and torpedoes, the enemy was forced to abandon his landinR attempt and withdraw" the Nnvy41 oflciai announcement related. a8sss

 Washington, October IA (UP) = The Army's highest officials said today that a 7,5O0, 0,000-man Army is plan ned for next year and that the only way to make it a decisive striking force is to draft IS and 19-year-old youths. The new estimates on the 1943 Army strength which with Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard enro1lments would raise the total men under arms to the vicinity of 100000 to l0,000, 900 - were revealed to Senate and House committees by Secretary of War Henry L.

 Stimson appeared before the House Military Affairs Committee and Marshall testified before the Senate Military Committee in sup port of the IS and 19-year-old draft.

Russian Forces Hurl Back All Nazi Drives
Battle for Stalingrad Began 5l Days AgO-Hitler Has Failed to Make GoOd-Desperate Efforts
 Have Ended in Defeats
BY HENRY SHAPIRO Pnited Press Staff Correspondent

Moscow, Oct 14.-CUP)-The Red army, taking the initiative from the north side of the Don river bend to the Caucasus, advanced slightly above, below and inside Stalingrad today.
 The Germans gained nowhere. Southeast of Novorossisk, the Ger mans did pentrate behind Soviet unit, but it turned out to be a small disaste.
 The Russians cut them off from their main force, killed 400, and captured 1 5machine guns, five anti-tank guns and other booty.
 For the second time in 24 hours, the noon communique reported in its operational section: 'Last night there were no changes on the fronts"
 It said, however, that Soviet forces inside Stalingrad had wrest- ed two buildings from the Ger mans. One was understood to be a big school.
 Front-line dispatches revealed that the Red army, attacking below Stalingrad, had taken an impor- tant German base, and that Mar shal Semyon Timshoenko's counter offensive above Stalingrad was slowly gaining
 Communiques had not reported such lack of action on the fronts since last spring, before Adolf Hit Ter opened his summer offensive now threatening to founder before stubborn opposition, counter-at- tacks, counter-offensives and cold weather.
 Began 51 Days Ago
 The battle of Stalingrad began 5l days ago. German attacks suddenly dropped to almos nothing last Fri day, and though the Germans have launched one heavy assault since thre was nothing now to indicate that they meant to resume the of- fensive in its full fury immedia- tely.

Democratic Leaders In City Are Confident
Believe William A. Patten Will Carry Waterbury by Good Margin, Sure That Gov. Hurley Will
 Sweep City

A canvass of local Democratic leaders by The Democrat today dis closed a general belief that Mayor William A. Patten of Torrington, Democratic candidate for Congress. will carry Waterbury by a margin sufficiently large to insure his cleo tion. The average Patten plurality was given as 4,500, though some went as high as 7,500 and others as low as 5000.
 Despite indications of 8 light vote on Nov. 3, party leaders believe that Democratic voting strength will be sufficient to insure solid majority in Waterbury. Though the canvass was limited to the congressional election, there were voluntary pre- dictions that Gov. Robert A. Hur- ley, seeking reelection. would poll a much more favorable vote than he did here two years ago. It was en1- phaSized that the party organization is working most actively on behalf of the governor, this being in an- swer to post-election rnmors in 1940 that full aid had not been given MT. Hurley here.
 Talbot Is Dropping
 The Democratic chieftainS be- lieve that Congressman Joseph E. Talbot has lost much stature since going to Washington after his vic- tory in the special election Jan. 20. They believe that most Democrats who voted for him in January will vote for Mayor Patten next month and that many Republicans will cut their vote in favor of the Torrington mayor.
 Some of the leaders expressed concern over vote losses. resulting
