 Moscow, June 28.-Advances by Red Army troops on the Karelian front facing Finland and against German forces northwest of Mos COW were reported today by the Soviet high command. Seven hun dred enemy soldiers were killed in the attacks.
 Both pushes involved the seizure of important local strategic points. They came during continued recon naissance thrusts by both sides.
 (Exchange telegraph in London heard Brussels broadcast a Berlin dispatch telling of new fighting in 8 sector east of Kharkov where the Russians were said to have attacked yesterday with tank support.

Enemy Ships
 Are Battered
By WILLIAM B. DICKINSON

united Press StaH Correspondent
 London, June 28.-(UP) - Royal Air Force planes battered an enemy convoy off the Dutch coast today, sinking two ships, firing third and damaging three more and sending the wars greatest aerial offensive into it's ninth day.
 Typhoon and Hurricane fighters attacked the convoy-the second line of ships hit off the Netherlands in little more than 12 hours.
 British raids last night had sent the air onslaught into it's ninth night as informed observers said the Allied air force already was 50 per cent along on it's goal of Wrecking Germanys most vital war industrial section, the Ruhr Valley.
 The Typhoon attack was delivered from 50 yards. After they passed, Hurricanes barreled down on the three ships left afloat and two others come to their aid. The ships ranged from 600 to 800 tons each.
 Yesterday supply ship and three escort vessels were believed damaged in similar convoy attack off the Dutch coast. A Berlin communique, apparently referring to this attack, said nine of 60 British planes were shot down. The Nazi Paris radio said British bombs were over vest ern Germany but this was not con- firmed.
 Success of even the small ven- lures over France and Germany was attested by a Stockholm report to the Daily Telegraph that said Ger man railroads are losing 100 to 150 locomotives a month to attacking planes.

Lake Dragged
 ForB Alder St. Girl

The body of Anna Sloboda was still not located this morning as state police, flremen, and boy scouts, aided by scores of volunteers, con- tinued to grapple in Lake Hitchcock and search the surrounding shores. The search has been in progress for almost "A hours.
 Miss Sloboda, who was 27, and re- sided at 60 Alder St., is believed to have perished Sunday afternoon while swimming alone in the lake.
 Miss Doris Jacaruso, also of Wa terbury, told police that she and Miss Sloboda had been on an all day outing to Lake Hitchcock, and that they were visiting at the Peter J. Ward cottage.
 They were resting on a raft in the lake when her friend climbed down ladder and started to swim away, calling to her to follow. Miss Jac- aruso declined, and went back to the shore. When Miss Sloboda failed to return after a short while, Miss Jacarsuo became alarmed and started a search with near by cot tagers. The aid of state police was later enlisted.
 The lake, which was unruffled by waves, is more than 20 feet deep at the point Miss Sloboda was last seen. Miss Sloboda was an accom- plished swimmer.
 Miss Sloboda, who was well known in Waterbury, was employed by the American Cyonamid Corp. A step- father, Pater Savin, resided with her

AutoWorkers OutOn Strike

Detroit, June 28-(UP)-A strike of 2,2OO members of the United Au- tomobile Workers (CIO) today halt ed production of guns, tanks, air. planes and Army trucks in Chrysler corporations Highland Park plants.
 The strike was believed to be the first since congressional passage of the Smith-Connally anti-Strike bill over President Roosevelt's vito Fri day.
 A company spokesman said the men stopped working at 7:15 a. m. (EWT) in what he described as a carefully organized strike"
 The union called out all its stew ards Saturday." the spokesman said, "and the men followed them today. No reason was given and no griev- ance has been presented"
 Joseph Rubin, assistant Chrysler director for the UAW-CIO, said the strike was unauthorized" and that he had telegraphed Chelse Rubin, president of the Highland Park To- cal, urging him to get the men back to work on the next shift starting at 3:30 D. m. (EWT).
 Rubin said he understood the men walked out to protest the sus- pension of a chief steward. ChrySler said the steward was suspended for six days because he "countermanded orders of management
