By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Aug. 4-CUP)-A forma- tion of British planes flew over south Sweden last night. apparently on a mine-laying mission in the Baltic area, the AXis-conrtolled Paris radio said today, and a crew that parachuted from one faltering aircraft was interned.
 The report followed by several hours a flight of British bombers over the English coast in the direc- ton of northwest Germany in a procession lasting more than an hour.
 Lack of an air ministry report in- dicated that Britain's big bombers had weather-enforced lay-of from the assault on Germany. Late yes- terday Typhoon oombers damaged small supply ship and seven es- corting E-boats off Le Havre and other light bombers caused consid- erable damage at the Guipaves air. field near Brest.
 All the bombers returned safely Escorting Spitfres destroyed two Focke Wulf 1905 and probably de- stroyed several others. Three Spit fire pilots were missing. The lull in continental attacks came as Madrid reports said that fear stricken Germans were leaving Berlin at the rate of 15,000 a day by all available vehicles, including some stolen from museums, and that the exodus of people from bombed German cities was the greatest o1 the war.

ment, a close friend of Father Doyle.
 Last evening priests of the city, joined by clergymen from various parts of the state, chanted the office of the dead for Father Doyle. Many Blessed Sacrament parishioners also attended this service.
 Nuns from Notre Dame academy, St. Joseph's school, St. Mary's school and others representing the Order of Mercy and Order of Char ity attended the pontifical Mass this morning.
 Father Doyle served this country as an Army chaplain for approxi- mately two years. Previous to en- tering the service he served as as- sistant for about two years at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament.
 He was a graduate of St. Thomas seminary, Hartford. and studied philosophy and theology at St. Ber- nard seminary in Rochester, N. Y. He was ordained in Hartford about 1888 and served for time in New Haven. He came to this city in 1889 and for short time was at the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception, later becoming assistant pastor of the Blessed Sacrament church.
 He became a chaplain in March, 194l, and left this country soon after.
 While at the Blessed Sacrament church he was much interested in the youth of the parish and in their religious and athletic activities.

Sev- enty-Six German planes were shot down in aerial combat south and southwest of Orel yesterday, in- cluding 70 out of a formation that attacked force of Russian tanks emerging from a forest.
 The capture of Orel, held by the Germans since 194l, would cave in the whole south-central front and pose a potent threat to Bryansk, 30 miles to the west, main Axis bastion opposite Moscow.
 The Germans sacrificed 2,0O0 men, 13 tanks and Is guns yesterday alone in their futile attempts to stem the Soviet advance from the northwest. Another 1,600 Germans were killed in fighting Russian ad- vanceS south and southwest of Orel.
 Converting Russian armies al- ready were within sight of Orel from the north, east and south. Ad- vances of 3 3-4 to miles yesterday yielded more than 50 additional towns and villages including Stish, on the Kharkov railroad five miles to the south, and Domino, on the Yelets railroad less than seven miles to the east
 In the Donets basin, the Germans abandoned their counter attacks after losing many thousand men and hundreds of tanks and planes in a vain attempt to wipe out the Soviet bridgeheao on the west bank

HUH lJ "one person" was under suspicion but refused to amplify.
 State police believed the kidnaper climbed fire escape outside the hospital, entered sun porch through a screened window, and stole quietly into the adjoining nur- sery. The sun porch window screen, which was locked on the inside, was found open, indicating that someone inside the hospital aided the kidnaper.
 Detectives said the downstairs en- trance of the hospital, always locked at night, had been unlocked. They believed the abductor took the tiny girl from her crib, placed a rolled blanket in her place to form, and walked noiselessly through the hos pital and down the stairs, leaving by the front door.
 Not For Ransom
 Authorities discounted the possi bility that the Kidnapping was for ransom The parents, MT. and Mrs. B. w. Gurney, are in moderate cir cumstances. The father Is fore man at a plywood plant, and is the president of the local AF'L PlyWood LaborerS Union.
 The father, who paced the hos pital corridors in anguish all day yesterday said he had no enemies and could not suggest a motive.
 "Please, please, please" he said, don't ask me any questions"
 He said authorities had told him to make no statement because they might endanger the chances of get ting his baby back.
 Then he broke down and sobbed.
 The mother was hysterical.
 The baby's feeding formula was disseminated through newspapers and radio stations at the request of police and Dr. E.

 Fine Baby
 pr. Hurd, the Gurneys' family physician, said the baby was "a fine physical specimen" and probably would survive if given reasonably good care.
 Two nurses were on duty at the time of the Kidnapping, but neither was in the nursery. Police said 1t would have been simple for the ab- ductor and the accomplice, if any, to go through the corridors unde- tected. The hospital grounds are covered with shrubs and trees, which probably provided concealment for the person who climbed the spiral fire escape to the second story sun porch.

ceptahle at its face value, it has considerable weight in corroborating admissions by Davis and testimony of independent observers. The find- states that testimony is conflicting as to how much pressure Davis turned on and as to how long he left it on, but that there is no doubt but that he opened the valve after Cherpinski had his hand upon Rim chiuso.
 Testimony disclosed" said the finding, that it was usual for em- ployes to dust off their clothing with air fro mthe hose. The actions of Cherpinski were not consonant with gesture of helpfulness toward Rinchiuso, however, but were rather a deliberate and dangerous practi- cal joke. Cherpinski had several years experience with compressed air and tools operated by it and was fully aware of the danger of using it carelessly."
 An autopsy performed at the or der of coroner McNiff, disclosed numerous internal injuries to Rin- chiuso, and that death was caused by the paralytic ileus and peritonitis due to perforated colon.
 In addition to Rinchiuso, Cherpin- ski, and Davis, testimony was heard from John Janusaitis, 46 Lafayette street, and John Zaikus, 46 Lafay- cite street.

 Reports reaching Madrid from France said bankers and industrial ists ia Milan and Turin, largest in- dustrial centers in northern Italy, have borough pressure to bear on the new government to make peace to save Italy from complete bank ruptcy."
 British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden last night in Commons again made a friendly gesture toward Italy, asserting that he was "only too ready to aid her" provided the Allies can get bases on the Ital- ian mainland from which to attack Germany.
 We are anxious to see a peace in which Italy can play her part as respectable nation once again." he added.
 The clandestine Leghorn radio was heard broadcasting that Italian crews "by an unmistakeable show of force" frustrated three German at tempts to take over Italian war ships at Bordeaux on the French Atlantic coast. There have been no previous reports that any Italian warships, except possibly submarines have been in French Atlantic ports.

Germany
 Free Appeal
By HARRISON SALISBURY

United Press Staff CorrespondenU
 London, Aug. 4-(UP)-The sud- denness of Italys collapse and the fact that something of the same nature will occur eventually in Germany has focused increasing at- tention on BoscoW's free Germany" committee.
 The Moscow committees appeal notably is directed toward the army chiefs as we'll as any existing anti Nazi democratic elements within Germany, with the idea of playing on existing differences between the generals and NaZi zealots.
 The committee also affords me- dium for specialization of German high command sentiment when, as and if the general conclude that continuation of the war is futile.
 Josef Stalin's assertion that Ger many cannot be deprived of all military power Is the type of logic which may prove most appealing to the military chieftains once they decide that Hitler has lost the war.
 However, the military angles of the free Germany propaganda are not believed likely to override the Russian determination to punish war criminals. This is basic Soviet policy and there is little doubt the Russians number among war crim- inals many members of the German high command as well as long list against the civilian population and of army commanders whose ravages other activities are being recorded fully for postwar trials.
 There is increasing speculation whether the existence of the free Germany committee plus the ex- perience of the Allies with Italy will result in any parallel action by the British and Americans.
 AS the situation now stands, the Moscow-sponsored committee is the only potential bridge which the Germans have for getting out of the war.

Continued from Page D anese to split their strength and im- pose burdensome loads on their supply system. This system depends on Sea-borne traffic and Japanese shipping already has been severely dented by American submarines and airplanes.
 It is very likely that the British will carry the major share of the drive into Burma with the Ameri- cans carrying the load in the Paci- fic.
 Military experts believe the com- ing offensive against Burma will be an amphibious operation. Previous efforts of the British imperial forces to push through the difficult if not impossible, junglelands of Burma proved unsuccessful. A seaborne eX- peditionary force, based on India, probably would attempt to establish beachheads at the mouths of the IrraWady river, Burma's main wa terWay, and then push up.

 Details Of Raids
 Of the Rome raid, the report gave these details
 During the night of July 18 Bri- tain Wellington bombers dropped 864,000 leaflets over Rome, and at 1l:13 a. m., July 19, the first wave of Flying Fortresses started releas- ing bombs on Rome's Lorenzo rail- road yards.
 Liberators struck at the Littorio switching yards and the Littorio airdrome. The military airdromes at Ciampiano, near Rome, were then attacked by Mitchells, followed closely by marauders, with more than 100 Lightnings as escort.
 Only 20 to 30 enemy aircraft were encountered, the review said, and they showed little desire for combat. Heavy bombers shot down two and Lightnings destroyed two. Anti-air- craft fire was neither intense nor accurate.
 One Liberator, one Mitchell and one Marauder were lost, the report said, but the Lieberator's crew was rescued.
 CiampianO Airdrome Hit
 Five-hundred-pound bombs were employed against the railroad yards and airdromes, and some 100- pound and 20-pound Augmentation bombs were dropped on the Ciam- piano airdrome.
 Results of the aid:-The Lorenzo Railroad yards rendered unservice- able; at least 50 per cent of the Littorio switching yards blocked or destroyed; huge quantity of rolling stock destroyed or damaged; loco- motive workshops, roundhouses, car sheds and many other installations completely or partially destroyed; several hangars at airdromes des- troyed and others damaged; a total of 38 enemy aircraft left destroyed, burning or damaged on the ground

 The Allied air fleets concentrated on targets in the Adrano area at the western base of Mt. Etna, but also attacked shipping of the north coast, scoring hit on one merch- ant vessel.
 Intruder aircraft joined in the Sunday ngiht operations with offen- sive sweeps over southern Italy.
 Four Axis planes were shot down yesterday, while two Allied aircraft were lost.

New York, Aug. 4. (UP)-Frank Sinatra, quavering crooner, and the New York Philharmonic Symphony, one of the worlds finest orchestras, appeared together last night for the delectation of an audience of 1000, mainly high school girls.
 The occasion was a foray of the committee sponsoring the Lewis holm Stadium summer concerts into popular music in answer to con- plaints that its programs were too high brow. Sinatra, idol of adoles- cent femininity. crooned such num- bers as Dancing in the Dark" to the accompaniment of some 80 in- strumentalists and countless girls in the audience were seen burying their faces in barely supportable rapture on the shoulders of their companions.

Troops Wait Outcome

Cairo, Aug. 4.-(UP)-Future events in the Mediterranean the ater depend upon how far Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower forces can go in Italy and middle eastern troops are ready for any develop ment, Gen. Sir Maitland Wilson, British middle east commander, said today.
 Hedging middle eastern resources to EisenhoWer's North African con- mand "as long as he wants them" Wilson added the middle east must wait on events.
 He discussed the possibility that the Germans will be forced to with draw from the outer fringe of the Aegean islands, including Crete and Rhodes, and said the Nazi troops in the Balkans were first class, including good defense avia- tion. Germans now hold all key points on Crete, he said
 "The future dpeends on Low far north Eisenhower can go in Italy how hard the Germans resist, what demolitions they may accom- pllSh and Whatthey do in the way of destroying communications" Wilson said.
 The middle east, which was placed under a good deal of strain during the North African coastal cam pangn, has mot been idle" since the North Africa forces moved on to Tunisia and Sicily, Wilson said.
 Commenting on rumors of the establishment of a buffer sttae un- der the Vatican across italy, Will son said that he would be dis pleased by such development.
 That would not be fair to us, he told neWspapermen. T would hate to see it now that we are powerful enough to hit Germany.
 Tt is impossible to foretell fu- ture operations. All eyes are on Italy - will the Germans hold her in the war? Will italy collapse and make terms? And, if so, will the Germans be able to make a getaway"
