Extension Of Rubber
Drive Delayed Metal
And Fat Campaigns
Nelson Protest to

Disruption Of PIons

Carefully laid plans OF the Wal
Production Board for Nation wide
collection of scrap metals and
household fats were disrupted" by
the sudden July l extension OF the
scrap rubber drive, it was learned
today as official sources let it be
known that Production Chief Mel
son protested the move to Petro-
leum Co-ordinator Ickes.
WPB officials disclosed that a
general salvage campaign, includ-
ing rubber, had been mapped prior
to June IS, when the President first
announced the rubber collection ef-
fort. These plans were deferred, 1t
was said, until the scheduled end OF
the drive July l.
1t was after the unexpected ex-
tension of this campaign, ofilcials
said, that Mr.. Nelson addressed a
brief note to Mr. Ickes. Its text was
not made public, but informed quar-
ters said they understood it con-
tanned a protest that the WPB head
was not consulted on the move and
that the extension again threw sal
wage plans out OF gear.
Mr.. Ickes, as petroleum co-ordina-
tor, has general supervision OF the
rubber collection through the
Petroleum Industry War Council.
The Council has brought about the
co-oneration of the entire oil in
dustry in gathering scrap through
filling stations.
Mr.. Ickes' reply also was not made
public. but the co-ordinator released
a statement defending the extension
move as "a wise decision" praising
the oil industry for its loyal
response to the Presidents appeal
and expressing the opinion that the
companies "are much more entitled
to be thanked than spanked"

 NOW SET AT 487
Latest Revised Figures Today; Fresh Violations
 Are Alleged

Boston, Dec. 11-(UP)--The Co., coanut Grove holocaust took 487 lives, according to revised official figures released today by the Boston Public Safety committee.
 Duplications discovered during a week-long checkup by the committee reduced the death list to the new figure from the earlier "of6cial" total of 495.
 The committees final check showed that I'll persons were in- jured in the disaster. Of this num- Der, more than 100 still are hospital ized with some in critical condition.
 This final list is so complete and authentic" said Executive Director John J. Walsh of the committee. "that one of the largest life insur- ance companies has asked permis- sion to use it in checking claims"
 Although organized and set up for use in case of enemy attack, Walsh said, the master disaster file of the committee has proved its value in the emergency. He said that Col George Baehr, chief medical officer of the OCD, came here from Wash ington this week to check person. ally on the committees work in the holocaust.
 As examples of discrepancies dis covered during the final check Walsh said that Albert RoSen Ford proved to be Albert D. Rosenfar Frank Edelen was Joseph Edelson

GOV. HURLEY INCONvINCING COM. VICTORY Personal Triumph in Test With Senator MalOney=
 Smith Forces WATERBURY VOTES
 CAST FOR SMITH Big City Vote Swings Com. Elections to Hurley,
 Comptroller Dove

Election of Governor Rob ert A. Hurley as Democratic National Committeeman was regarded today as a great personal victory for the states chief executive, who leaves office in January. Despite opposition led by U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden and ex- State Chairman J. Francis SmiEh of this city, Governor Hurley won a convincing victory over Richard Joyce Smith of South port. The vote was 45-27.
 Waterbury's four committee mem- bers Including J. Francis Smith as proxy for Mrs. Gertrude Gordon, cast their ballots for the losing candidate. State Controller John M. Dove of Killingly, backed by the Hurley group, was elected state chairman to succeed John T. Mccarthy. The rolI-caIl vote was 49-23, but later was made unanimous.
 smith Seconds It
 A seconding speech on behalf of Richard Joyce Smith was made by J. Francis Smith, but the former chairman's influence was not suffi- cient to alter the result. It was the second major defeat within the committee for the local man. Two years ago, MT. Smith led an unsuc- cessful drive to have Guy Holt of West Hartford elected state chair man, his candidate being beaten by Mir. Mccarthy, whose resignation became effective last night.

JUCOSLAVS UPSET
 BY COMMUNISTS
Guerrilla Warfare Against Axis Retarded, Leader
 Tells Allies

London, Dec. l1-UP)-A .Jugo- slav government spokesman charged today that Communist elements were attempting to discredit Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch, Jugoslav guer- rilla leader, with the result that his long fight against the Axis has been seriously handicapped.
 Communist groups in Jugoslavia, including agents dropped by para chute, had tried vainly to get Mix hailovitch to put himself under them, the spokesman said, and when he refused. began accusing him of collaborating with the Axis.
 The spokesman said the So-called partisians, the Communists, were attempting to put themselves in position to take advantage of 8 possible Axis military collapse in Jugoslavia by forming Soviets in various parts of the country, and that the Axis was aiding the Com munist groups as means of fo- menting internal disagreement among JugoSlavs.
 Naming the Communist Interna- tional as implicated in the cam paign against 'Mikhailovitch, the spokesman said the Communists had split themselves into inimical groups, some "StaliniSts," some "Trotskists," some Anarchists. As the result of this disorganiza- tion, the spokesman said, several

CURLEY ON STAND
 IN LIBEL CLAIM

 Curley has been questioned con- tinually by Defence Atty. John l.. Hall who devoted yesterdays session to appointments made by Curley while he was governor of Massa- chusetts. Hall contended that Sev- eral Curley appointees had crim- inai records.

are passing on all sides, many Of them unable to sec the officer at all, Motorists, stopped last night after nearly knocking down men on duty, said that they did not notice the traffic men until they were prac- tically on them.
 This peril has started talk about remedies. at least until the rush season is over. It has been sug- gested that air raid wardens lend their white helmets to the officers to make them stand out against the dark background. Another solution, some say, would be to let the men wear white coats of some kind, or even the white trafic belts formerly in use in the department
 However, it is pointed out that since headlights are half shielded in accordance with the new regu- 'lations, white objects on the of fcers' persons would not be as prominent as desired.
 Hence, it has been hinted that the real solution to the problem lies in installing overhead spot lights directly above the men on duty at important intersections. The lights would be focused on the officers, and would not be diffuse enough to cause any sky glow in violation of the dimout regulations.
 Several members of the police board have intimated that motions will be made at the next meeting to correct the hazardous conditions. Policemen today hoped that the correction would come before seri- ous accidents prove that the peril exists.

 Move Up
By M. s. HANDLER

United Press Stan C0rreSp0ndentl
 Moscow, Dec. Il = (U.P) Rus sian squadrons led by StormoVik dive bombers opened a ferocious at- tack on Germany supply columns and troop concentration today in an attempt to reduce the weight of intensifying enemy counter attacks northwest of Stalingrad.
 Regrouping their forces, the Ger mans were throwing regular troops, special units and auxiliaries into their attacks, trying desperately to stabilize the front and stop the per- sistent offensive of the Russians which threatened encirclement and destruction of their forces piece by piece.
 Special dispatches from the front described how the Russian plane forces, sweeping suddenly over the battle area, dived on the Germans to smash their trucks and sent their troops scurrying for cover, leaving many dead.
 It was not believed that the Ger mans had obtained endorsements outside, but that they were moving all possible reserves northward and eastward on the northwest-Stalin grad front.
 Today's noon comnunique report ed that the Russians threw back enemy counter-attacks in two sec tors northwest of Stalingrad, killed about 1000 German troops and des- troyed seven tanks.
 In one sector a Russian detach- ment took an enemy trench system in hand to hand fighting. the con- munique said, and killed many Ger mans.
 Russian artillery continued sys- tematic bombardment of the north- ern factory district in Stalingrad city and special dispatches reported a local advance in the southern out skirts.
 The noon communique said that in the factory area small Russian groups destroyed German pill boxes and silenced firing points. and add ed that 10 enemy Notifications had been wiped out.
 In the southern districts, Russian units made a local advance, killing about 300 Germans and destroying
