It was held that the showboat an- tics of Lawyer Sabath and his son were responsible for Alsab being over-raced and not given time to develop naturally. It was reported that Owner Sabath interfered with the colts training brought parties out at 10 at night to feed him ice cream, had stable boys show friends how fast he could run, etc.

 TRAINER SARGE SWENKE DENIES INTERFERENCE
 Tt is not true that Al sabath in- terfered with AlSab's training.
 "Al Sabath is practical racing man who has been my friend in race ng for 30 years. He formerly was president of Hawthorne Park. I'm not Al Sabath's first trainer. Bert Michel, who trained Mrs. Emil Dem marks horses with such great suc- cess, Charley Durnell and Jake Lowenstein trained for him. He's 6 great friend of Col. Matt Vim and was first to broadcast Kentucky Derby. He is no Johnny Come-Late- ly in this business.
 'The only indictment against Al Sabatl, if any, is that he is in love with Alsab. He wants to parade him, let everybody know he owns him, and what's wrong with that?"
 What did they expect Albert Sab. ath to do with a horse that cost $T0O and has earned $172,075 and promises to make those who claimed he was another Man O War" look good?
 What did they expect him to do with a colt like that-put him in his basement?

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 15-Behind
the screen: Reason Charles Boyer
remains one of the most aloof of
all movie personalities when inter-
viewers are around, is that he's still
burning over a fan magazine story
written about him some seven years
ago. The effusive article started
off by quoting him as saying:
My baby ears were attuned from
birth, not to the grandiloquent
words of mummers, but to the
whir of machinery coming from
the small industrious factory next
door" 1t went on and on in that
phony vein, and Boyer still gags
when he thinks of it.

lady's haid-do this fall will be a

disorder" and the reason is time
saving for the war worker. the
WAAC, the WAVE and the WAAF.
So guest hairstylist Reno of Hol-
lywood told the 23rd annual con-
vention of the American cosmeti-
clans national association today.
The "disorder'-which to Reno is
"carefree, casual and careless, but
artistic"-is what distinguishes TIE
coiffure of this wartime autumn
from the curt. crisp boyish bob of
the last decade.
THE aim for simplicity" Reno
said. gets away from the time and
trouble imposed in former years
by the more formal hair-dos. When
milady gets up in the morning, for
instance, all that is necessary is
to run her hand instead of a comb
through her hair. and presto, her
crown of glory is arranged
Where do beauticians, practition-
ers in the nations third largest in
dU'Stry, come in? Reno answers
that their greatest revenue will
come from cutting and shaping the
artistic disorder" instead of from
the traditional shampoo and finger
wave.

Style Openings

AK LES BAINS, Sept. l5-UP)
-Erstwhile Partisan dressmakers
lifted the veil today on the 1942-
43 winter styles created in free zone
social centers to which they have
migrated, and revealed that their
fashions and practicability were
synonymous.
Typical of the trend, If change
dictated by economy of military de-
feat may be SO termed, was one
dress named IT Replace Central
Heating" But let it be said for
the inventiveness of the stylist
that the creation is of fine black
wool, and is discreetly padded in
the back, arms, shoulders and bust
to add warmth without too much
heaviness.
The style opening this year is far
from those of pre-war Paris, al
though Lelong, Lanvin, Worth,

and all the other big houses -
which have migrated from Paris to

from fortified locality in the Sow

Russians killed up to 1000 of the
enemy, burned several dozen tanks

The Germans opened their fren-

proach on the central sector Pre-

bombing opened, and section by
section, blasted Russian positions.
Russian fighter planes, aided by in
tensive anti-aircraft fire, shot down
many of the planes.
An infantry division and 80 or
40 tanks advanced They met with
ering artillery and anti-aircraft
fire, which kept them from advanc-

and cost them several battalions
of infantry (probably 1000 mem

The Germans sent three columns
against the Russians on another
sector. One infantry division u.s.

livered the main blow, while two

CAVALRY IN ACTION

simultaneously, new Red cavalry
units reached the Stalingrad sector
and went into immediate action
northwest of the city where they
were reported to have turned back
two enemy attacks.
1t was the first time in two weeks
that front reports had mentioned
cavalry participation and indicated
that these forces constituted part
of the reinforcements the Red army
is moving into the Stalingrad bat
tle
There was every indication here
that the Russian commanders are
determined to hold Stalingrad
whatever the cost
The Russians. it was reported,
still hold certain lines Of commune
cation to Stalingrad although they
are slow and difficult and the Sow

taking drastic steps to reinforce the
garrison of the beleagured city.
NAZI AIR CONTROL
The new Red air fleet units oper-
ating in defense of Stalingrad were
said to be not strong enough to
challenge the huge German air
superiority on the front
However, they we're able to give
sufficient support to enable the
Russian land forces to cling to their
positions at most points despite
the systematic bombardment of one
sector after another by the Luft-
waite.
Soviet fighters we're reported
constantly intercepting large forma-
tions of German bombers. One
fighter unit was reported to have
shot down 81 bombers in a days

planes.
