 MANY FRONTS
BY United Press

American planes struck again to- da vat the Polk Airdrome in north ern France from which the Germans have been harassing Allied air oper- ations, but the bombing offensive against western Europe was in a comparative lull.
 Berlin had its first bomb-free night out of the last four when British bombers rested at their bases. One report said 5000 persons were killed and 5000 injured in last Mondays raid on the German cap- ital.
 The northwest African Air Force began it's second week or intensive attacks on air fields and railways in southern Italy yesterday. Its heav- jest blows were dealt in the Naples area.
 Russian land forces made import ant roadway in their drive on Pol tava, the key German-held base be- tween Kharkov and the Dnieper River. Soviet flanking columns cap- tured several villages and fought through one city in advances up to four miles.
 New Offensive
 A German communique reported that the Russians had launched a new offensive south and west of Orel. Stiffening German resistance was believed to have slowed the Red Army's twin offensives in the Donets Basin of southern Russia.
 Danish saboteurs, arindluwypypyp

Find Cause
 Of Death

Hollywood, Aug. 27-CUP)-Film star Bette Davis believed today that her husband, Arthur FarnsWorth, who died in a hospital Wednesday night fractured his skull in a fall last June but didn't know 1t.
 FarnsWorth was found unconscious in Hollywood street Monday. Physicians believed he had frac- tured his skull in fall to the pave ment, but an autopsy revealed that the injury was of earlier origin.
 Miss Davis recalled that Farms worth fell down the steps of their New Hampshire home last June. Dr. Paul H. Moore, Farnsworth's phy- sician, said her recollection appar- ently cleared the mystery surround ing Farnsworth death.
 No one saw Farnsworth fall Mon- day, and police had been at a loss to explain the circumstances, but the physician said the street fall could have resulted from the earlier accident.
 "When learned from the autopsy report that Farnie had suffered a previous brain hemorrhage I re- called a fall that he took at Butter nut, our New Hampshire home, late in June," Miss Davis said.
 He was coming downstairs in his stocking feet to answer the phone when he slipped on the first landing and slid the full length of the stairs. He landed on his back, struck the back of his head and quite severely scraped his back"
 She said Farnsworth did not complain and that she thought no more about it.
 I realize now that little things that happened since were the result of that fall" she said. At least to find reason for a seemingly ridic- ulous accident is relief and com- fort to me-"

Judge kieIds
 Is Dead

Nahant, Mass, Aug. 27.-(UP)- Retired Federal Judge John P. Yields of Wilmington, Del, who celebrated his 18th birthday August ', died last night while on vaca- tion here.
 A native of Wilmington, Judge Yields was graduated from Haver- ford college, Harvard college and Harvard law school and had been a practicing attorney since 1892.
 Perhaps his most important de- cision as judge in the U. s. district court of Delaware was one involv- ing the Weirton Steel Co.,, in which he ruled illegal a section of the national industrial recovery act as it affected the company.
 Yields was appointed U. s. At torney for Delaware by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903 and served under reappointments by President Roosevelt and President William Howard Taft until 1912. During that period he was instru- mental in smashing huge lottery i rings in Louisiana and Honduras.
 During World War I he served as a captain in the U. s. Army and in 1880 was appointed to the judicial post by President Herbert Hoover. Though he retired in 1941 he often was called back to the bench for advisory opinions and to preside at naturalization terms.
 He leaves wife and a daugh- ter.

 LUNCHEON GUESTS
New, Smaller Birth Cer- tificate Forms Voted,
 Effective Oct. 1

Approximately no town clerks representing the cities and towns of Connecticut attended the semi annual session and luncheon in the English Room of the Hotel Bond in Hartford yesterday.
 Among the topics discussed was the legality of the deputy of regis trar of voters to sign the absentee ballot form in the absence of the registrar. The Senate Bill No. 416 specifically states that the absentee ballot form must be signed by the registrar, as passed by the 1942-43 legislature, however, the statute permits the deputy to place his signature to the ballot in the ab- sence of the registrar.
 During the course of the meeting, Secretary of State, Frances Redick declared openly that she was "un- purepared to answer any specific questions on that point"
 Beginning October 1, the new and smaller birth certificate forms will go into effect, 1t was reiterated. This form will not describe whether the child is or is of legitimate birth nor will these vital statistics be open to the public as in the past.
 One minute of silence was desig- mated for the memory of the late Clarissa M. Fowler, who was the town clerk of Milford. Miss Fowler was going about her occupation as air raid warden during the most recent night test when she fell and broke her hip. Within week com- plications set in, death resulting.
 Waterbury was represented by Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin. Town Clerk John A. MacGuire, president of the Association of Town Clerks of Connecticut, pre- sided.

Need More Cold Storage
By ROBERT L. MEYER


 United Press Stan CorrespondentA
 Chicago, Aug. 27-(UP)-JammeA cold storage bins may force slaugh terers to decrease meat production unless more refrigerated space can be found immediately. meat packing sources said today.
 However, there has been "abso- lutely no decrease in slaughter to date" these sources said.
 One packing company ofi1cial as- serted that the government had built up a stockpile of stored food large enough to supply government needs for 10 months to a year. The food spokesmen defended the gov- ernment,s policy of maintaining these huge larders.
 Food, SO far, has been part of our war diplomacy" an executive said. "The government must be well-sup- piled in case of emergency. For in- stance, if Italy surrendered tomor- row, most of this stored food would be shipped out immediately.
 Although 1t is vital that the gov- ernment stock up ahead, this nev- ertheless has tied up our cold stor- age space. A crisis looms unless more freezing room can be located"
 A packing official, who has been appointed by the government to find this vital space, reported that stor- age bins in most large cities are bulging.
 Officials listed these factors in the food storage situation:
 1. The government is buying up turkeys to feed the armed forces at Thanksgiving. These are in cold storage.
 2. A tremendous amount of but ter-an all-time peak of 209. .845, ,000 pounds-is stored, most of 1t held by the government for military and lend-lease purposes.
 3. Lend-lease purchasers, buying up most of the fat meat cuts, stopped buying because they had ob- tained enough. Consumers do not like fat cuts, so they are stored. To- gether they occupy much space. (Since November 1940, Lend-Lease has purchased 3,300, 100000 pounds of green and cured Wiltshire sides)
 4. The government must keep an advance supply of food ready to be channeled to troops in case of unex- pected military operations. (For in- stance. if U. s. forces suddenly move from Sicily into Italy, they may leave much food behind in order to use all transportation for military equipment. In this case, the gov- ernment must ship food to Italy)
 5. Poultry, eggs, and vegetables also occupy storage space. Packerx say the storage tie-up, however, has not affected the amount of meat shipped to the meat-hungry east coast. Shipment of fresh meat east ward has remained approximately the same," officials said, because fresh meat does not require freezing space.

|ToCheck Black Market

Boston, Aug. N.-(UP)-Regional OPA Administrator Kenneth B. Backman has called upon New Eng land mayors and police chiefs to cooperate in sopping black market operations in stolen ration stamps.

T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES (Reg. U. s. Pat. Ofilce) BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

Internal developments in Germany and the determined stand which the Army is making against Russia's smashing offensive towards the Dnieper River indicate strongly that the NaZis are prepared to carry the war at least into next year and to go down in utter defeat rather than try to save Germany by uncondi- tional surrender.
 It is the best answer to optimistic forecasts that Germany will col lapse by the end of the year.
 There have been various theories about the reasons for the assump- tion by Heinrich Himmler, head of the gestapo, of internal dictator ship in Germany, which is what his appointment as interior minister amounts to.
 Himler has his own army inside Germany and actually is stronger than Hitler, if he should care to turn against the No. l NaZi. How ever, he knows he is in the same boat with Hitler, and if they split the whole Nazi regime would be most likely to collapse.
 No Home Letd0wn
 Hitler and Himmler, then, are determined to work together to prevent breakdown of the war ef- fort among the German people un- der the terror of the Allied air of = fensive or continued military re- verses abroad. This in turn is an assurance to the army at the front that they will not be let down by the people at home, as they claimed they were in the last war.
 The Germans insist they were not militarily defeated in the last war, which is a lie, but they have been taught to believe it thoroughly. As surance of home support to the end this time is the best guaranty against breakdown of army mo- rale.
 The strengthened Hitler -Himmler coalition, moreover, is a reasonably sure sign that they do not count on a separate peace with Russia. There is no doubt they would be glad to withdraw entirely from Russia if it would end the fighting in the east and permit use of their full army to defend the southern and western walls of their fortress" It would mean incalculable prolong- ation of the war.
 However, it Is certain that Rus sia will not make terms of any kind with the existing Nazi regime A truly democratic revolution ir Germany might be another matter and this Hitler and Himmler are determined to prevent. They know they could not deceive Russia by a faked one.
