 Knowledge that the Germans would make this the backbone of their offensive system here im- pelled the Spas Denemsnk drive, Sabennikov said.
 The battle for BryanSk was re- beating the pattern of the battle for Orel with the Russians blocking the main enemy forces defending the principal strongholds, while swinging forces carry out enVelop- ing maneuvers.
 Counter Attack
 Sabennikov said thousands Of German planes have been thrown into the attempt to hold the Kar- achev position. In Orel, Allied cor respondents saw Russian fighter squadrons sweeping westward to- ward Karachev to counterattack the LuftWaffe's bombers.
 At other points in the rear Of the front we watched big Russian bombers coming back from missions.
 The German forces defending Karachey were said to be excellent units equipped with a great profu- sion of weapons. Sabennikov said, however, that the Russian firepoW- CT, particular in artillery, was over whelming.

 A third Soviet force was smash ing into the city's outskirts along the railroad from Belgorad, to the north.
 4,OO0 Killed
 Heavy tanks self-propelled guns spearheaded the Russian advances, breaking up every enemy counter attack and inflicting fearful losses on the retreating defenders. Some 4,000 Germans were killed in one sector alone. #
 Enormous Booty was seized as the Russians turned the enemy's retreat to rout in some areas. It included 12 tanks, 67 guns, 347 machine-guns and 70 mortars in one sector alone yesterday.
 Front reports said the new offen- sive on the Spas Demensk front, 30 miles north of Bryansk and an equal distance southeast of Smolensk, the two strongest enemy bases on the central front, touched off fighting of unparalleled ferocity.
 Smash Defenses
 Soviet artillery, tanks and planes smashed one of the strongest nat ural and artificial defense areas three hours after the start of the attack Wednesday dawn.
 Executing the classical pincers movement, the Russians attacked simultaneously from points north and south of Spas Demensk along a 30-mile front and effected a Junc- ton behind the city, then captured 1t in series of street battles in which 2000 Germans were killed and 130 taken prisoner. Eleven Ger man tanks were wrecked and 42 planes shot down.
 Developing the offensive, the Russians also captured Pavlinovo, Il miles northwest of Spas Demensk; Bakhmutovo, 12 1-2 miles to the east; Dubrovo, IT miles south south east, and the railroad junction of Zanoznaya, IS miles to the south- east.
 The Russians were in a position to swing southwest behind Bryansk or northeast toward Smolensk.
 The Russian offensive against Bryansk also made steady progress with more than 20 towns and vil- lages being captured yesterday and the threat to Karachev, key defense point only 25 miles to the east, mounting with the fall of Asinaya, 3 1-2 miles to the east.
 Some 2000 Germans were killed and 35 tanks captured or destroyed Prisoners reported that the savage Russia nattacks had reduced one division of 15,000 men to 300 and a regiment of 5000 men to 120.
 One thousand Russian civilians who were on the point of being de- ported to the west for slave labor were liberated.

 It also emphasized the futility of German efforts to move their war industries and government depart ments out of the range of Allied bombers. Reports had reached London that the German foreign ministry already had been evacu- ated to Vienna and thousands of refugees from the bomb-pocked Ruhr and Rhineland also had been sent to the Austrian city.
 Though no British or American planes ever raided Austria previous ly, Russian bombers have attacked Vienna on several occasions.

Mayor John s. MOnagan's atteh- tion to plans for postwar aviation development in this state is praise worthy. The mayor recognizes the fact. as do most wide-awake city executives, that airplanes are go- ing to play a tremendous part m our lives after this war has been won. And it behOOves the up-ana- coming industrial city to be on the air map. Waterbury has been stabbing futileiy at this for many years. It may he that 1t will take s war to establish us positively as an airport.

BAN RENTED CARS
 DURING EMERGENCY
Cooperation Must Be Ob- tained to Accomplish
 Aim of OPA

Hartford, Jan. 15 - Individual members of the rental car industry in the IT Eastern states and the District of Columbia, in which pleasure driving has been banned by the OPA, are being circulariZed by representatives of the industry to obtain their cooperation in elimi- mating pleasure driving in the area. Industry cooperation has already been pledged to the Office of De- fense Transportation, it was stated here today.
 At a meeting with ODT officials in Washington, spokesman for both the drive-yourself industry and the livery car industry said that every effort would he made to pre- vent automobile rentals for pleasure or recreational purposes. Voluntary cooperation was promised after the meeting agreed that the aims of tn: pleasure driving ban would be par tially defeated if the restrictions on private cars were not also applied to rental vehicles.

uting to the pleasure of 0 man in the armed forces. Borrowed books are usually interesting and read- able-that's why they were bor- rowed in the first place-so the book which pleased you and the friend who loaned 1t to you will undoubtedly add to the pleasure of 0 man in the Army, Navy or Mer- chant Marine.
 The l94S Victory Book Campaign for more and better books" for the armed forces Is being spon- Sored by the American Library As- sociation, the American Red Gross and the United Service Organiza- tions. These organizations know how much our fighting men need books to fill dull hours, to fight loneliness, to prepare them bet- ter for their return to civilian life. According to Army and Navy of- flcers the books which find great- est favor with the men are current best sellers (both fiction and non- flction); adventure and western stories, detective and mystery fic- tion; technical books published since 1885; humorous books; small sized editions of popular titles e.. all in good physical condition.
 The test of book to be given to the Victory Book Campaign Is whether 1t is the sort of book you enjoy yourself, one that would be enjoyed by service men among your friends and family. Undoubt- edly the borrowed books that have accumulated on book shelves everywhere belong to this group and should be taken to the nearest collection center. Perhaps some soldier or sailor now on duty in a far-off place will be amused to find among the books collected for him a copy of favorite novel, one which in peace times he loaned to a book-loving, book-borrowing friend. Why not stop right now, wrap up your Victory Book dona- ton and take it immediately to your nearest library.
