String ForA
 Golden Rinq

Boston, Aug. 18.-UP)-If the wartime marriage rush continues, blushing brides soon may be wear ing a string instead of & ring around their fingers.
 Winston Emery, buyer for the Boston jewery firm of A. StoWeil & Co.,, Inc, said today that retail and wholesale stocks of gold we'd ding rings-5O per cent of the l94l stocks-are being depleted by the record consumer demand.
 "Orders are held up three or four months. especially in mems plain rings which weigh three times as much as woman's," Emery said. Because marriages are so rushed now, young couples can't wait long enough for Us to order rings TOT them and jewellers try to stock every size"
 He said Sales were triple those oi last year and attributed 1t to m- creased war marriages and re- vival of the double ring" ceremony.
 Emery believed that American ring manufacturers soon may De forced to produce a standard-styie wedding band as substitute TOT the present fancier designs.
 Commenting on the shoi age, the Rev. Elmer 0. Adams of Fremont Temple said rings are not necessary for a wedding ceremony because they merely are a symbol Of the eternal quality of love-" He said q pin could be substituted.

New Local Victim Of InfantiIe

A third case of infantile paralysis has been reported in the Waterbury area, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer said this morning. II is the first case to be discovered here since two persons contracted the disease ten days ago.
 Dr. Godfrey said that this latest case has been positively identified as poliomyelitiss and that the pa tient will be removed to the New Haven Isolation Hospital.
 This is the second case to occur in Waterbury proper. One of the previous cases was discovered in WatertoWn.
 pr. Godfrey said yesterday that there is possibility that the cpl demic proportions of the disease may be confined to New Haven, where the large majority of the states cases have been centered.
 The United Press reported this morning that four new cases of sus- pected infantile paralysis were under observation at New Haven Isolation Hospital, bringing the total of posi- tive cases to 69 and suspicious cases to 13.
 Throughout the state, the total of 81 positive cases remained unchang- ed from yesterday, according to a compilation of the State Health De- partment at Hartford.

London, Aug. 18.-(UP)-Omcial sources here are strongly echoing warnings in Washington and Que bee must be considered in the light of statements made by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill after the Casablanca con- ference in which priority was given to a three-step plan for defeat of the Axis.
 Number one was the battle of the Atlantic; number two was Africa; number three was the so-called Eu- ropean citadel.
 Another significant statement was the one by Churchill in which he said the Casablanca plans were for the succeeding nine months. IL has not been seven months since that meeting and Churchill and MT. Roosevelt may outline plans for the remaining portion of this year as well as 1914

Knockout For ItoIy?
BY JOSEPH w. GREGG United Press Staff Corresponden

London. Aug. 18- (UP) While Axis commentators talked about AL lied fleets concentrating in the western Mediterranean for a new invasion, informed London military observers believed today that bomb- ed and strife-ridden Italy would be the target of quick knockout punch.
 Capt. Ludwig Sertorius, of tho German Transocean News Agency. said in Berlin broadcast that the fleet piling up in North Africa and newly y-conquered Sicilian ports in- cluded some units from the eastern end of the Mediterranean.
 In guesses betraying Nazi ner- vousness over the next Allied move, Sertorious said thrust along the western shore of Italys mainland was possible or a more modest" stroke at the toe of the Italian boot or at Sardinia from Sicily.
 Rome radio said large invasion fleet had been sighted off Catania, on the Sicilian east coast, but dispatch from the island indicated that the report arose from the use of landing craft to ferry troops and equipment up the coast around Axis land mines.
 Peace Talk And Panic
 There was little doubt that the Allies would take quick advantage of peace sentiment spreading among the Italians. the panic approaching revolution following aerial blows on their cities. and the deep gloom en- gendered by the fall of Sicily.
 Even while the Sicilian campaign was still in progress, Allied forces were turning Sicily into an operat- ing base to use its excellent ports of Syracuse, Catania. Palermo and Trapani and its 20 or more air fields.
 Speculation centered on the pos- sibility Of simultaneous invasions at four points ot the Italian Penin- sula, with Rome, Naples, Brindlsi and Taranto as objeetiyes, Pros poets Of a slow. laborlous movement

A Berlin laoio commentator Open- ly suggested a negotiated peace last night and said the German people would gladly" dispose of some Nag leaders once the war is ended.
 The broadcast, directed to North American listeners, was recorded by the CBS and NEG short wave lis tening stations here.
 The commentator, who called him. self "Bill", said it is quite possible that the suffering, sacrifices and re- verses of recent months have chas- tened German extremists and made the people generally better disposed to accept a practical, workable and just peace, but this doesn't mean unconditional surrender.

It was the biggest Allied air assault in this area to date. Fleets of Liberators, Flying Fortresses and APO attack planes about equal to the enemy's ground forces rained down 10000 bombs and countless thousands of bullets into the planes parked wing-to-wing, many of them warming up for flight.
 Only six planes got off the ground and three were shot down. The Allied Force lost three planes in exacting the enormous toll that boosted enemy air losses in the South ern Pacific area in the last week to at least 225 and probably many omre.
 Reconnaissance had re- vealed the fleet parked at Borum, but, Dagua and Newark airdromes, all in the Wewak area, $40 miles north east of Salamaua.

(United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Moscow, Aug. 18-(UP)-Russia troops have won 8 bitter battle southeast of Kharkov, breaking Ger man defenses, and materially bol- stering the left flank of the Red Army hammering the Ukrainian stronghold, the Soviet military Jour- nal Red Star reported today.
 A struggle that had ragged for several days in the forested area below Kharkov ended in a clearcut Russian triumph which may prove vital factor in the greater battle of the Northeastern Ukraine.
 Red Army units continued ham, mering at the northern, northeast ern and eastern gates of Kharkov, where the German defenses were found to be stronger than anti cipated.
 Beat Of Counter Attack
 In the general Kharkov area the Russians beat of widespread and persistent counter-attack which was beginning to assume the proportions of & counter-offensive.
 The German blows failed to dent the Soviet lines, front reports said, while the unslackened Soviet offen- sive thrusts improved the Red Army positions in several sectors.
 Military sources said the rein forced German army fighting on the Kharkov front was struggling to break the solid semicircle en- veloping its positions as far as 45 miles west of the city.
 Recalling after being driven back into the outskirts of Kharkov and to the outer defenses of Poltava, 90 miles to the southwest, the Ger mans were counter-attacking with tens of thousands of infantrymen and hundreds of tanks in desper- ate effort to stem the Russian onslaught.
 Effects of Victory
 A Soviet victory not only would liberate Kharkov for the second time this year, but probably roll

 Reports from both Germany and Italy of new peace trial balloons came at time when the two lead- CTS were deep in heavy schedule of talks with their war chiefs plot ting what generally was regarded here as the body Wallop against the German army.
 As the two chiefs resumed discus sions which started last night and continued past midnight, the White House staff here announced that the President would visit Canadian Prime Minister w. l..

 The effect on the Axis of the growing assembly of Allied war leaders in this ancient city was reflected by reports of a second proposal from Marshal Pietro Ba- doglio to have Rome declared an open city, and Berlin radio broad casts that the German people might favor a negotiated peace and the removal of Nazi extremists.
 Both proposals will fall on deaf ears, it was believed by observers close to the conference here, since (Continued on Page h
