Hartford. Conn, July IA. = (UP) - State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher said today he has reached an agreement with the Colts Patent Fire Arms Man ufacturing Company whereby all male employees will be on a six days 8 week schedule, rather than seven as at present.

 S1OO With Costs

Mrs. Lincoln Field Brownell, 36, of 78 Chestnut Grove road, Water- town was fined $100 and costs by Judge T. E. Conway in municipal court today on a charge of oper- ating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor. She was ar- rested June 27 by Sergeant Charles McWeeney and Motor Patrolmen Gordon Jones and Thomas Fibre following an accident at the cor- ner of Watertown avenue and Rob- bins street.
 Efforts of the defense attorney, Edward Sweeney to set up claim that Mrs. Brownell's actions fol- lowing the accident were the result of injuries rather than intoxication fell short of their mark. "The tes- timony of the officers is overwhelm- ing" commented Judge Conway.
 Mrs. Brownell testified in soft drawl that she drank two glasses of wine while helping her son paint his car in his garage before noon the day of the accident. Her car turned over at the corner of Water town avenue and Robbins street after ' o'clock that evening as she attempted to pass a car operated by Otto H. Feest of Monroe, N. Y. Mrs. Mary Hogan of 36 Coe street, Waterbury was passenger in MT. Feest'S car.
 Her Witnesses

 London, July 14-(UP)-An anti Nazi outbreak in Jugoslavia in which a German gestapo chief was assassinated and 700 persons were killed or wounded Tn retaliation by hand grenades thrown wildly by Nazis was reported today by Jugo- slav refugee government spokesman.

 The gestapo chief, Major Helm, was killed by shots fired from win- dow as he and his aides walked in Jelavek square in Zagreb, the Jugo- slav spokesman said. When the out break occurred was not revealed. :. As Helm fell, the other agents begin firing wildly at everyone ir sight. They tossed hand grenadei in all directions and at the windows of the buildings from which they believed the first shots had come
 The spokesman said Jugoslav pa- triots also threw hand grenades in zagbreb, Gradski and Podrum.
 Third Agent Killed
 Helm was the third German agent killed in occupied territory in the past few months. Reinhard Heyd- rich, known as the hangman be- cause of his brutalities, was fatally wounded by bomb near Prague, in May.

 Moscow, July IA. = (UP) - The Soviet official presa urgently warned every Rus- sian to choose between vic- tory or death in an all-ouG struggle against Axis of fensives gravely menacir1g the caucasus and Volga fronts today despite a series of Red Army counter-attacks.
 Grave dangers hang over the fatherland in this life and death struggle on. the. southern fronts. !" said the army newspaper Red Star in warning the people that they have no choice except to follow Lenin's slogan of Victory or death"
 "The enemy will not break through to Stalingrad and the Caucasusl"
 Except for Red Army counter offensive action on the Rzhev front 125 miles northwest of Moscow and on Q wide front west of the Don River in the Voronezh sector, every report from the front lines supported the grave situation of which the Red Star and the Communist party newspaper Pravda warned the peov pie.
 On the Voronezh front the Gers mans twice had broken into the Russian defense and a great battle was raging in the outlying streets with the enemy using flame-throw- CTS, smoke screens and 800 bloodiest battles of the war.
 The Red Star said that thre0 German columns charged simultan.i eously against the Goguchar front,- one attacking frontally and the other two on the Hanks in an effort to encircle the Russians. The Rus sians retreated slowly in good order and on Monday the enemy rnassed overwhelmingly superior" forces in one sector and made desperate att tacks.
 Soviets Fall Back
 The Red Army inflicted severe losses on the enemy but was forced to fall back and the German ad- vance lis continuing" the Red Star dispatch said. This advance is irl- to the bend of the Don River, which stretches within about 50 miles of Starlingrad on the Volga.
 Dispatches said that it appeared certain that the Voronezh attack was intended primarily to protect the German flank, since the enemy was using engineering units to build defense positions along the Don as quickly as the tanks, flame throw. CTS and infantry advanced. Some times as many as 30 flame throwerA were used by the Germans in one attack.
 Two enemy divisions, just arrived from France, were taking part in tho battle, supported by two tank al" visions.
 A total of 60 burned out German tanks were counted in one sector of the Voronezh front on Monday, when Izvestia said that the Russian defenders were fighting to the last man."
 The extent of the Russian coun- ter-offensive northwest of Voronezh was uncertain but dispatches said that Hungarian cavalry unit had been wiped out and that Russian Cossacks, riding wildly into the en-

Nazi Gen. Romnel Is
 Battered By British
Been Repulsed in All His Attempts to Break Through
BY LEON KAY Limited Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Cairo, July 14.-(UP)-Nal Field Marshal Erwin Rommel struck at the British coastal flank with stiff tank and motorized infantry attacks but was repeatedly repulsed and severely battered by Britihsh aerial onslaghts, official statements said today.
 German tanks, moved up from the southern sector, led Italian motor- ized infantry in the attacks which vainly sought to recover ground lost to the British west of Fl Amamein late dispatches from the front re- ported.
 At no point did the enemy pene- trate the British lines but in re- turn for his efforts, was plastered with high explosives hour after hour British fighter -bombers made 16 large scale operations against Ger man tanks, armored cars, transports and guns, creating wild disorder and much damage among the Axis forces
 British bombs fell among about 50 enemy planes on the Fl Daba air field, wrecking many. In another sortie against the enemy front lines, five tanks and probably six were destroyed by direct hits by bomb carrying KittihaWk fighters.
 British Smash Tanks
 British planes in action against enemy ground forces near Fl Ala mein blasted tanks supporting about 1000 enemy vehicles. In another sortie, two Kittihawks scattered five troop carrying trucks and 10 Diesel engirer vehicles, diving close to the ground to damage or destroy all of the machines.

RUSSIA SAID TO
 HAVE BIG RESERVE
Ready to Start Offensive Against Nazis When Sec.
 Ond Front Gets Going
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (nf AhA TInlAAd prA9m Wap nAal

A hint that Russia has large forces in reserve and Is capable of starting 8 counter offensive against the Germans, especially in con- junction with an offensive by the United Nations has appeared in the Communist newspaper Pravda.
 It was embodied in an article by Gregory Alexandroff, Communist party propaganda chief, who made an inferential bid for the early opening of 8 second front by the United Nations in accordance with the understanding reached by Rus sia with Britain and the United States.
 The article appears to throw some light on the nature of that understanding. During the visit of the Soviet foreign commissar to London and Washington, Russia presumably gave the Allies some idea of its armed strength and of its ability to withstand the Ger mans if given proper help. Molotov expressed complete satisfaction with the assurance given by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill.
 Although the Russians now are being hard pressed on the Voronezh

Washington, July IA. = (UP) = Fourteen alleged confederates of the eight German saboteurs may be called to testify at their trial be- fore military commission, it was believed today.
 The alleged confederates them- selves face the possibility of death for giving aid to enemies of the United States.
 A precedent for charging the 10 citizens among them with treason is found in the case of Max Ste- phan of Detroit who two weeks ago was convicted on such a charge for aid he gave to a German air off, cer who escaped from Canadian military camp. He has not been sentenced.
 The four Germans among the alleged confederates can be charged with espionage. Both the treason and espionage charges carry a max
