 CD The possibility that the lists will not be ready for the property owners to sign Oct. 1.
 Cmsr. Walsh told The Democrat the specific charges were taken down and copy was shown last week to the two complainants when they conferred with him in Hart ford.
 The letter was sent last week but it had not been announced until Thursday night. Since it was writ ten, appointment of a full-time as- sessor appears as remote as ever in view of the failure of Republican burgesses to attend special meet ing of the board of warden and bur- gesses Monday night.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy branded some of the charges as "hokum," :" specifying as an example the charge that no work has been done in the office since October, 1942. He as- serted assessors and their clerk worked on the abstract after leases were signed last October and did not finish the work until late in January.
 MT. Brophy said he told Comsr. Walsh he would "be glad to cooper ate in any way' with the commits sioner or his assessor.

THE WAR ON MANY FRONTS
lBy United PreSsl

The Allies moved quickly today from the conquest of Sicily into a new phase of the War-a phase in which it was apparent that air power would play its greatest role in forcing Germany and Italy into submission.
 Axis reports indicated that an early invasion of Italy was ex- pected.
 The Royal Air Force made another heavy raid on northern Germany during the night. Speedy, light Mosquito bombers bombed Berlin for the fourth time in six nights and heavier British bombers heaped explosives on an important research station 60 miles northwest of Stettin.
 These bombers hardly had re- turned before other Allied planes roared off from British bases for daylight attacks.
 American Flying Fortresses yes- terday flew from Britain to Africa, blasting war plants at Schweinfurt, 65 miles east of Frankfurt, and Regensburg, 55 miles southeast of Nurnberg, enroute.
 The American raid was costly 36 bombers were lost, the largest number in any American mission to date-but the results justified the losses.
 Other B-1 Fortresses from north west Africa carried out the first raids on the invasion coast of south ern France yesterday bombing Ger man airdromes in the Marseille area.
 Under Constant Bombing
 Southern Italy has been under constant air hammering by planes of the African Air Forces in a cam paign to paralyze Axis transporta- tion.
 Brig. Gen. Frederick L. Anderson chief of the 9th U. s. Air Force bomber command. felt sufficiently optimistic about the progress of the air offensive to predict that ul- timate collapse of German resist ance was obvious and inevitable. .
 The Allied Mediterranean con- mand announced that all resistance in Sicily had ceased.
 From the Sicilian side of the Mes sina Straits. Allied guns were she'll ing the coast of southern Italy. Axis guns parked back at them.
 The Axis radio spread reports .hat Allied fleets were masisng in the western Mediterranean for a new assault probably aimed at Italy. In eastern Europe, the Russian army was making gains toward Bryansk and in the Spas Demensk sectors, but ran into determined op- position from German infantry and tanks around Kharkov. which re- mained in Axis hands despite days of fighting in its suburbs
 The major battle developing on the Ukrainian plains was expected to decide the fate of the Red army s summer campaignd in the south which has threatened to drive the Germans back over the Dnieper | river.
