Leukemia Victim Seeks
Blood Of Cured Patient

An appeal for a donation of type
blood from some one who has been
cured of leukemia was made today
IN an effort to save the life of Frank
Mozingo, 3S-year-old Sterling tva)
farmer.
Mr.. Mozingo's niece, Miss Vivian
Hawkins, l035 Thirty-frst street
NV. said doctors have estimated
he can live only two or three months
longer unless he can obtain a blood
TRANSMISSION from some one who has
recovered from leukemia. She asked
that any one willing to help tele-
phone her as soon as possible at
Executive 0962.
Miss Hawkins said her uncle was
stricken about six weeks ago, and
received one TRANSMISSION 10 days
ago at Doctors Hospital here. His
l7-year-old son, Frank, jr., gave this
blood, but the blood of a person
who has had leukemia is believed
now to be Mr. Mozingo's only hope
OF recovery. He is at his home in
Sterling.

The report quoted Mr.. Noxon as

baby on metal tray on the floor
while he left the room for a screw
driver, the report quoted him as
saying.

CERMANY'S RUHR
 BOMBED BY R.A:F.

ican flying fortresacs and the Royal Air Forces newest and lightest bombers-Bostons, Venturas, and Mosquitoes-across the channel in one of the greatest daylight raids of the war in three-pronged ate tack aimed at vital Nazi war indus tries at Lille, in northern France, and airdromes at St. Omer, 38 miles northwest of Lille, and at Abbeville 70 miles southwest of He.
 Allied planes shuttled across the Channel in such numbers that Nazi aircraft gave them wide berth ex- cept for 20 Focke- Wulf 1908 that lost three planes tangling with the RATS new model Spitfire, which aviation experts call far superior tc the Focke-Wulf
 The raids were made from vary ing heights and foreshadowec round -the-clock stratif1ed bombing which experts believe presents Ger many with grave defense problem especially above 25,00O feet where it's fighters find it difficult to match wings with superior Spitdres and less effective against the heavily armored Fortresses.
 Spitfires covered the Fortress high level bombing of locomotive repair shops at Lille, apparently chosen for g. target because the Nazis' output is known to be low. American pilots in Spitfires covered the Bostons' low level bombing at St. Omer and Polish, New Zealand ard Fighting French pilots escorted Venturas tc the attack at Abbeville.
 Not a single light bomber or Spit fire failed to return despite the large numbers engaged, according to the communique. Three Flying Fortress es were reported missing.
 Steel Works Targets
 Visibility was said to be good over Lille with numerous bursts observed in the railway yards. There were g number of encounters with enemy aircraft. Five steel works were in- cluded in the target at Lille, as well as chemical factory and a power station.
 British, Canadian and other AL lied pilots covered the Fortresses' re- turn from Lille. American, Norwe- gian, Belgian and Australian pilots were among the supporting forma- tionS.
 Canadian pilots patroled the Dun- kirk area to support the returning Fortresses and reported seeing five Focke-Wulfs over the coast but | was possible to engage only one which was damaged.

DISCUSTED JUROR

N%OAAOAAASA 4ASAA A u9S ~ ination. Connally supposed" there would be some sort of hearing next week. Whether 1t will be public or private is a matter for the ccm- mittee to decide tomorrow, he said.
 T don't care and am not in 8 big father about 1t like some people," Connally said. If any one wants hearing, I hope they'll come and tell us tomorrow and not just print their opinions in the news papers,"
 The last was in reference to charges made against Flynn this week and to the counter-staten1ents issued by Flynn. There has been at least one statement from both Flynn and from his opponents each day since Roosevelt sent his nomina- tion to the Senate Monday. Leader of the opposition is Bridges who has promised to make these charges against Flynn in the Senate today:
 1. That Flynn represented New Yorker who had large Japanese in terestS and was closely associated with one Guija Kassai, registered agent of the Japanese government 1 in this country until two weeks be- fore Pearl Harbor.
 2. That as chancellor of New York city he invested and lost more than $1,000,0o0 of public funds in the State Title and Mortgage com- pany which his law firm subsequent ly became general counsel.
 3. That he appointed the late Dutch Schultz, noted criminal and murderer" a deputy sheriff when Flynn was sheriff of Bronx county, N. Y. ;. 4. That the grand jury investiga- tion of use of city-owned material to pave the antique Belgian court yard of Hymns Lake Mahopac, N. Y, estate was improperly handled to the disgust of at least one mem- Der of the grand jury"
 Flynn countered with this state ment:
 '@These charges will be met and met completely by me at hearing before the foreign relations con- mittee. as sure that when the testimony is all in any fair-minded man will see that the charges not only do not bear any weight but that the wanton falsehoo6S implicit in Sen. Bridges announcement will be definitely nailed.
 T do not expect Sen. Bridges to be among the class of just men capable of weighing plain evidence as against malicious detraction be- cause of his violent dislike of the administration and his desire tc embarrass it in every way possible and also because his Republicanisn1 is so deeply rooted that it does not admit of fairness.
 "These attacks are typical of Sen. Bridges activities as revealed in his assailing the President and the Presidents family, He is always willing to go in for character as- sassination and never has been par ticular whether there was any foundation for his scolding,"

Caucasus the Germans, instead of retreating, remained in their po- sitions until they were surrounded. An advance tank unit of the Red Army encircled large enemy air. drome, Red Star said, and captured grounded German bombers, fuel and bombs.

 In the raids on Krasnodar, 15O miles south of Rostov, where the Gremans have been massing planes, the Russians were preparing for their drive from the north Caucasus into the Kuban valley and also for a possible offensive in the Black Sea area.
 The big night gain was that in which the German concentration camp was captured. Defending Ger man infantry was routed. The Rus sians took 19 field guns, 53 trucks, three big haulage tractors and war material dumps which the Germans had thought sfe-for the monent- in their rear. -.. In another sector the Red. ar- tillery, advancing right with the tanks. cavalry, motorized cavalry nd infantry, went into the front lines and opened a smashing bo111- bardment which knocked out SIX tanks and dispersed big concentra- tions of German trucks and infan- trymen, apparently getting ready to retreat.
 IA German Tanks Lost
 The midnight communique had reported that in a counter-attack m thse north Caucasus yesterday the Germans lost every one of IA tanks engaged, while the Russian 1nfan- try thrust against the following German infantrymen and sent them fleeing for their lives.
 In the lower Don fighting, press ing down the Stalingrad-T -Tikhoretsk railroad toward Salsk, 100 miles southeast of Rostov, the Russians during the night routed 1.00C Ger man infantrymen who with tanks and artillery tried to make a stand. The noon communique reported 400 of the Germans killed and six tanks and three field guns destroyed.
 The Germans were now trying to slow the Russians in the Don area by massing men and tanks on nar- row sectors. They made big coun- ter-attack in one such operation yesterday, the midnight communi- que reported, only to lose 1000 men

 A directive from the Hartford of- flee of OPA, disclosed that the fol- lowing classifications are permis- sible under the driving ban:
 Necessary trips to the store. Every effort should be made to encourage cutting trips to an absolute mtni- mum and even to combine shopping trips with those of neighbors.

 Meanwhile, the pleasure driving ban has had its effect on local traf- fic conditions. Fewer automobiles are on the streets, especially during the evening, and parking places are plentiful. Busses, overburdened be. fore the ban, are now staggering under the load, particularly betweer 10 D. m. and midnight when tht usual factory crowd is augmented by theater audiences and reStaur. ant patrons.

 Giesler said Miss Satter'ee, whose testimony concerning life aboard the yacht Siracco will not be heard for a week, had told a story that was improbable as it was untrue. He said her underwear was untorn, there were no bruises on her body, and no sound of g struggle coming from her cabin. Furthermore Flynn had sinus trouble and a runny nose, the defense continued, and could not possibly have had amorous ideas concerning his brunette cruise pait- ner.

FRENCH INFANTRY
 GAINS IN TUNISlA
(Continued from Page D

The French force, which has been reported making steady gains this week, also captured additional passes on road running southeast of Kairouan toward the coast.
 The Kairouan area is particularly important because it is only 30 miles southwest of the Axis vital supply and reinforcement port of Sousse.
 An Italian pocket of resistance was encircled by the French two days ago, an Allied spokesman said. In the final assault, the French cap- tured 80 Italians and killed the rest of the enemy force, whose size was not revealed.
 In this action the French also captured guns and materiel.
 The French advance was made under difficult conditions as the mountains at some places rise to B. 900 feet. The attackers were aided greatly by artillery placed on stra- Eegic heights to give the infantry men protection while they method ically wiped out Axis strong points.
 Allied quarters here warned, how ever, that the French still faced a hard task in attacking German po- sitions northwest of Kairouan.
 An Allied communique reported that despite light air activity yes- terday, Allied fighters shot down one enemy fighter without loss to themselves. The victory was 8redit- ed to an American pilot Jying a 5pitfire for the RAF. Two Axis oombers were destroyed last night and 1t was established that an ad- ditional enemy bomber was shot down Tuesday. the communique said.
 There was no change in the ground situation, the communique added.
 "A radio Algiers broadcast heard by United Press in London said French headquarters this morning announced capture of Budabas and Djebel Ben Hadja, located where two main roads pass over the nloun- tains from Kairouan.)
 It was revealed that the Lafayette Escadrille, flying single-engined R. 70 Warhawk fighters supplied by the U. s. Army, has gone into ac- ton for the first time. The French airmen supported ground forces, presumably In the Kairouan sector, and made offensive sweeps over Axis-held territory.
