Reds Drive To Bryonsk

By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent


 Moscow, Aug. 28 - (UP) - Red army troops drove to within striking distance of Brynask's railroad life line from Kiev today after captur- ing Sevsk, r miles to the east, in the opening phase of the fifth So- viet offensive of the summer.
 SevSk, 80 miles south of BryanSk fell to the Russians yesterday after a savage battle in which 5000 Ger mans were killed and more than 700 were taken prisoner. The Russians seized Sessk last March 4, but lost it to a German counter offensive March 28.
 The Red army launched the new offensive with attacks north and south of Sevsk under cover of q puiverizing artillery bombardment. Breaking through the enemy's de- lenses from both directions, the So- viets then struck frontally from the east.
 The weight of the Soviet attack overwhelmed the defenders and Sevsk along with 20 other towns and villages was captured. Support ing the offensive Red air force planes made three concentrated raids on enemy positions and shot down 26 German aircraft
 The Russian victory wiped out an- other German bulge In the south central front line and put the So- viets on the offensive along more

 Washington, Aug. 28.-(UP)- Anti-aircraft armament of German submarines has been heavily rein- forced to meet vastly expanded all lied air patrols over the Atlantic, and it appeared today that new aer- ial tactics or armament may have to be developed to combat them.
 There have been numerous reports in recent weeks of increasing ag- gressiveness on the part of U-boats against anti-submarine air. patrols. Several weeks ago, one of them shot, down a navy blimp. And only yes- terday, the army air force anti-sub- marine command revealed how one of 10 U-boats recently sunk by our patrol planes elected to figh tit out" Its heavy fire wounded half the crew of an attacking heavy bomber. Although wounded, the bombardier straddled the sub with depth charges and sank it.
 Until recently, the standard armament of U-boats included two all-purpose deck guns, one or two 50 calibre machine guns mounted on the coming tower and sub-ma- chine guns brought on deck by the crew.
 Now, reports indicate, the Ger mans have added at least two 20

Z Sued For 

Damages Of $3O,O00 are asked by William J. O'Neil of Springfield, Mass. against Myron M. Fuerst and Agnes H. Fuerst both of Pine Plains, N. Y, for injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Route No. A in this state, September, 23, 1942.
 The plaintiff. through his attor- ney, Edward Mascolo of this city, contends that on the afternoon of Sept. g he was driving his Chevrolet truck when a Chrysler convertible coupe, operated by Agnes Fuerst, cOllided with his truck causing O'Neil to be thrown against several parts of the interior of his cab and out of the cab upon the highway.
 As a result of the accident O'Neil claims he suffered shock, bruises cuts and contuSions of the face and body, a copcussion of the brain, a laceration of the brain, several frac- tured ribs. fractured right elbow and severe scalp laceration which he adds will leave permanent scars.
 O'Nei. further charges that as a result of the mishap he has been prevented from properly attending to his business, that of a wholesale fruit and vegetable dealer. He alleges that the collision, resulting injuries, disfigurement, permanent disability and consequential damage suffered and sustained by him were caused solely by the grossly negligent acts and commissions of the woman de- fcndant. In commenting upon the driving of Mrs. Fuerst at the time of the accident O'Neil claims she was under the influence of liquor.

 Of Democrats

Supporters of Mayor John $. Monagan. for the Democratic nom- ination moved quickly yesterday when the Democratic Town Com mittee voted a unanimous endorse ment of his candidacy at meeting held last night in the Columbus Club, 79 North Main street.
 It was the first such endorsement given Mayor Monagan by any or ganized political group within the Democratic party and it immediately killed any thought that the party organization might not be with the Monagan forces in primary con- test, now indicated by the announce ment of William J. CaVanaugh, prominent East End resident, that he would seek the Democratic mayoralty nomination. MT. Cava- naugh is believed to be sponsored by State Senator John F.

Warns Of Air Raid

Hartford, Conn.,, August 28. - (UP) - Declaring it is quite likely that this country will be bombed" before the war ends, Colonel How ard w. Robbins, deputy director Of the Regional Office of Civilian De- fense at Boston, urged volunteer defense workers today to maintain a constant vigilance against attack.
 In event of an enemy raid, Rob- bins said, Germany would not be content with token bombing, but would attempt to cause as wide spread damage. as possible.
 Nearly 100 representatives of dis trict warning centers met in Hart ford to discuss manpower and other problems of civilian defense. State War Administrator Harold F. Wood- cock told them, "as far as l know there is no reason of any description to lead us to drop our program.

Investigate
 Planes Crash

Ouonset Point, R. l., Aug. 28 - U.P.) - An official board of in ouiry was convened today to investi- gate the mid-air collision of two Navy planes over Nashhawera ls- land in which three aviators were killed and three parachuted to safety.
 In a preliminary report after the crash late yesterday, the Navy said the planes collided during target practice that was in progress over an area that included Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound.
 The victims were believed to have died almost instantly but at a late hour neither their bodies nor the wreckage of the planes had been recovered by rescue boats which were dispatched to the scene.
 Of the three who parachuted to safety, two were the pilots of the respective planes and the third was crew w-member. One landed on the island while the others struck the water and were rescued. All names were withheld pending notification l of next of kin,

Increased Armament or U-Boats Is NeU Threat

nm. anti-aircraft cannon. Thus, the U-boats are able to throw up fair ly heavy fire.
 At the present time, the chief weapQp used by aircraft against submarines is the depth bomb. In order to use this effectively, the attacking aircraft must make an al- most overhead approach before Sropping the bomb.
 The submarines augmented an- ti-aircraft armament makes such an approach hazardous.
 Rely On Speed
 Most planes now rely on their speed to get in, drop bombs and get away without being shot up. How ever, slow-moving blimps and patrol flying boats are dangerously vul- nerable to U-boat gunfire.
 Some experts believe it may be necessary to arm patroling aircraft with cannon capable of hurling de- struction at surfaced submarine from comparatively safe distance. The largest cannon now known to be in use on American planes is the 37 nm. weapon mounted in then Bell Airacobra fighter plane. A weapon of that size might be cap able of inflicting damage on a U- boat but experts doubt it could de-
