 STILL UNVERIFIED
Intensive Search Reveals No Trace; Police Hear
 Many Such RumOrs

Rhinebeck, N. Y, July l8.-(UP) A thorough search of the woods and .thickets in Duchess county appeared today to have failed to Substantiate reports that six or seven parachuteS were seen falling near President Roosevelt's Hyde Park estate
 Army, state police, and secret service inVestig atorS ended their search last night, but were still on the alert for suspicious persons.
 They had seized youth, who was hitch-hiking toward New York OH the main New York-Albany high way, on suspicion that he was an army deserter. He wore khaki trousers, 8 blue shirt and army shoes, and carried an army uni form in a cardboard box, but was identified later as resident of Duchess county.
 Reports of parachutes-or what appeared to have been parachutes- falling around Rhinebeck, near MT. Roosevelt's estate, late Thursday afternoon came only from Clyde Swendson, caretaker on the former estate of John Jacob Astor III, and his wife.
 Duchess county Sheriff Fred Close said authorities were convinced of .Swendson's integrity, although the search and questioning of many residents in the vicinity has failed to corroborate the story.
 "The army is still Investigating reports of parachute landings near Rhinebeck, N. Y., Thursday night" it was announced at o'clock last night in New York City There has been no confirmation of these reports, and there is no new infor- nation available at this time. The army will always investigate such reports with care and thoroughness. In the wake of these first reports, there have been many false reports, circulating which tend to cause fear

TRAFFIC VOLUME
 TO BE REDUCED
Rationing Program in Ef= feet Next Wednesday;
 Strict Requirements

A huge reduction in Waterbury's traffic volume is expected after per- manent gasoline rationing goes into effect next Wednesday. Though fig ures will not be available for some time, many motorists who have been using their cars freely will there after have to be extremely careful of their mileage, since basic A cards allow the purchase of only four gall Ions of gasoline a week.
 Effects of permanent gasoline ra- tioning will not be felt immediately, in all probability. Motorists who secured B-3 or cards in the tempo rary registration, will no doubt seek to have their tanks filled to the brim before the permanent program starts. That is, if they can get the gas.
 Many car owners who now hold B-3 or X cards, have resigned them selves to getting along with an A card, and are not even seeking addi- tional allotments of gas. The strict requirements which must be com piled with make it extremely diffi- cult to get B or c classification.
 The municipal government may be a principal sufferer from declin- ing traffic volume. With fewer cals on the streets, parking meters will be less in demand. Ironically, many hundreds of new meters have only recently been installed, some of them at points far distant from the downtown business section.
 Bicycles are being seen with in- creaSing frequency on Waterbury streets, with adults rather than chil- dren as the riders. Many factory workers, and their number keeps in- creasing, use them to get to and from their jobs.
 The stiff regulations of the perm- anent gas rationing program will send many locals of the road, at least good part of the time.

This suggests, they said, that Jap ans entire offensive strategy may have been thrown out of kilter."
 But they warned against unjusti- fled optimism. offering four alterna- tive explanations of the lull in Aleutian operations:
 1. That Japan wanted the three Westernmost island she now oc- cupies-Attu, Kiska and Agattu- as a pivot for offensive operations against Russia, or to protect her own flank against a possible Rus sian attack.
 2. That the initial attack or Dutch Harbor on June was launched to district attention from Midway, per haps with the hope the United States would divert strength from that vital Pacific outpost.
 g. That Japan's operations are largely face saving" intended to appease the Japanese people for the American air raid on Tokyo and other major cities on the Japa- nese mainland.
 4. That unexpected strength dis played by US Army and Navy de- tachments in the Dutch Harbor area only has stalled temporarily further Japanese penetration
 Whatever the explanation Jap ans operations there have been costly the navy said that "opera- tions against the enemy in this area continue"
 A communique yesterday sum- marized all operations to date. It listed three enemy destroyers and one transport damaged, and "at least" seven enemy aircraft destroy ed.
 Previously, Lieut.. Gen. Henry H.. Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forces, had reported one Japanese cruiser sunk and an enemy aircraft carrier damaged by army fliers in the. Aleutians.

Cairo, July 18. - (UP) = General Sir Claude Auchin- leck's Eighth Army has broken a big German attack on the central sector of the Alamein front and has made further gains at the coastal end of the line, it was an- nounced today. After a night thrust against the Imperial forces on the Ruweist ridge in the central sector had failed, Field Mar shal Erwin Rcmmel threw a strong force of truck-borne infantry into an attack yesterday.
 Indian troops repelled them, how ever, with the enemy suffering heavy losses, the com1nunique said.
 Attack Germans, Italians
 At the northern end of the line, the Imperial troops attacked the Germans and Italians and made some progress southward where there is a salient in the enemy line
 The Axis troops counter-attacked twice, and the Imperials were forced to give some ground but they held part of bhe gains.
 British mobile tank columns were active in the southern sector, toward the Qattara depression, where the Germans had been forced to make slight withdrawal westward.
 Trucks, Tanks Hit
 British and South African planes concentrated on the central sector and light bombers caused explos- ions among trucks and tanks which they attacked.
 Allied heavy bombers (which might have inclued United States Army Air Corps planes) scored hits on a big steamship and a tanker, in the harbor of Tobruk, Axis base on the Libya coast, and started big fire in the storage area. The fire

VOrOshilOvgrad Bypassed By Fast Charging
 Germans RUSSIANS IMPLICIT
 LOSSES IN RETREAT Nazi Pincers Movement Fails: Two Regiments
 Are Wiped Out
BY HENRY SHAPIRO


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, July IS. - (UP) German forces, driving in- to the Don River bend, have by-passed the important in- dustrial city of Voroshilov- grad, it was announced to- day. Pushed back at Voro- nezh, and facing strong counter-attacks at the south ern end of the front, the Germans were throwing all avail able reserves into action as their planes landed troops behind the Russian lines, front dispatches re- ported.
 Many towns and villages were re- ported af1ame along the 200-mile battle front between Voronezll and Millerov-Voroshilovgrad area.
 Planned Retreat
 The Russians were giving ground in steady, planned retreat.
 Strong rear guard units were left to make a last stand and they were reported inflicting heavy losses on the enemy Hanks.
 The Germans were pushing on relentlessly for vital Staligrad, on the Volga, and the railroad junction of Likhaya, where the Moscow Rostov and Stalingrad- -Rostov rail- roads cross.
 Voroshilovgrad, which the Ger mans had by-passed, is an import ant industrial center, named for Marshal Klementi Voroshilov who was born there.
 Pincers Miscarry
 All reports from the front indi- cated that the pincers movement which the Germans launched last week to encircle Voronezh had mis- carried.
 The Russians still held the city and they had pinched of sizeable parts of the northern and southern claws, forcing the Germans to rush in troops from the rear and from other sectors.
 (The Germans asserted July ! that they had taken Voronezh. Yes terday they claimed Voroshilov- graO
 A dispatch to the army newspaper Red Star said that the 168th Ger man infantry division, arriving at the front after 12-day march, had been sent into action without rest.
 ? Regiments Wiped Out
 Two regiments, numbering 5000 men, of the 18th infantry division were nearly wiped out yesterday, the Red Star dispatch said. Tha Russians captured the divisional staff, many prisoners and much : war material, 1t was said.
 The remainder of the division is being mopped up, 1t was said.
 Hungarian prisoners were quoted as saying that their seventh division had lost one-half of it's effectives.
 Today's noon communique said that in a sector of the Millerovo lrea Russian guns wrecked IT Ger man tanks in single day.

Those reasons are enough to make
you keep your refrigerator in the
best of condition, but the recent linn
itation on making and selling re-
frigerators will certainly give you
further reason to cherish it with
the best possible care.
Keep the refrigerator away from
the, sun that comes into the kitchen.
Keep it away from the stove, too,
and give it enough space for good
circulation of air at the back and
top. Most refrigerators need a 2h-
inch leeway at the back and 6 to IL
inches at the top
Temperatures are important, so
check them with a thermometer.
Safest temperature is between 40
and As degrees Fahrenheit.
Cool hot foods before putting
them into the refrigerator. Cover
foods except those having thick
skins. Moisture from uncovered
foods collects on the freezing unit
and you will have to defrost oftener.
Your refrigerator has a big job
in keeping everything cool, as every
piece of food requires just so much
energy to cool. For this reason you
should not overcrowd your refrig-
orator or stuff it full with bags, car
tons and vegetable tops that also
need energy to be cooled.

Lynn Says:

Keep your kitchen well venti-
lated and you will drive away
much of the feeling Of fatigue that
comes while you cook. Warm air
usually rises so it is better to
keep the windows open from the
top to create better ventilation
and avoid drafts.
Place an electric fan right
above the stove so that it fans
the warm air right out the win
dows, or combine a fan with
screen placed in the upper sash
of one Of the windows and adjust
to fan the air in or out the room.
In some kitchens it is practical

and the use of your oven to practi-
cally nothing.
This is the season to make the
most Of your broiler and meats that
are at their best when broiled. Broil-
err specialties are lamb chops (both
shoulder and loin), steaks, thick
ham slices, and young chickens. If
you heat your oven very hot and
also the pan in which you are broil-
ing your meat before you put the
meat into the oven, you will ac-
tually be cutting down the time you
have your oven on. In this way
you are way ahead on economy of
heat and also in keeping your
kitchen comfortably cool.
To cut down the time you spend
in actual cooking, select foods that
cook quickly or that can be cooked
and served together. Our menu to-
day is a good example of this: the
lamb chops broil quickly and the
lima beans brought to boil and
cooked quickly take only as much
time as the lamb chops to cook I'M
