PLENTY OF GRAIN
 REPORTS NELL
State Senator Makes Trip to Western States; Seeks
 Prompt Action

State Senator Joseph R. Neill of Watertown. who has just returned from a trip through the midwest grain section last night suggested two emergency measures that might be adopted to effect the means of releasing grain to the stricken New England farmers.
 His first suggestion embodied an appeal to the grain farmers of the west to assume some part of the share of the crisis that exists, by releasing grain to the eastern farm CTS, despite price and instead of a government adjustment of ceil- ings.
 Such an appeal failing, Senator Neill offered the suggestion that the governors of the eastern farm states, now short of grain, should put pressure on the government for some kind of relief if only tenn porary.
 Senator Neills attack on the fed eral dairy feed subsidy program as an aid to relieving the milk shortage in this area, came as result of his observations on his recent trip through the grain belt of the mid- west, where he viewed bins, trucks and wagons overfowing with sup plies of last years oats, corn and barley and on top of them this years crop.
 A large surplus of grain exists in the west now, he said, but little good quality grain is getting through to the east, despite subsidies. The growers don't want subsidies, he add ed. for just as Connecticut farm CTS want more money for thet milk so do the grain growers want more money for their commodity and not federal patronage.
 Senator Neill's statement followed appeals by Governor Baldwin and other officials for an emergency food conference. It Is expected that the governor will discuss the mat ter more thoroughly at the state agricultural conference.

The War On MonyFronts

Great Britain announced the sur render of the Anglo-Italian garrison on the Dodecanese island of Lero today. but elsewhere on the Euro pean battle fronts Allied forces pressed home their mounting of fensive against the Germans by land and air. On Lero-estimate by the Germans at 5000 men-a terse Cairo communique said Brit ish and Italian troops capitulated last night after a bloody, four-day battle against overwhelming Ger man forces reducin the Allied foot hold in the Aegean to the tiny island of Samos, 35 miles north.
 Military observers believed the Nazis would follow up their victory with an assault on Samos in an eff fort to eliminate that last potential Allied steppin stone on the Aegean invasion route to the Balkans.
 Despite the fall of Lero, Allied air power continued on the attack all along the Mediterranean from southern France to Greco, and a communique said hundreds of Brit ish and American planes hammered enemy targets throughout that sec tor yesterday.

COLLURA TO BE
 CHIEF SPEAKER
N. B. Chapter of Industrial Advertising, Marketing
 Council Meets Thurs.

The Western New England chap ter of the Industrial Advertising and Marketing Council will hold its November meeting on Thursday, November 18, at 6:30 p. m. at the University club, Hartford, Conn.
 Francesca Collura, president of Designers for Industry, Inc, of New York, and a recognized author 1ty on product design from a func- tional and marketing standpoint, will speak at the meeting.
 Mir. Collura is 8 graduate of the John Huntington Polytechnic insti- tute and the Cleveland Art school, and was associated with the Chi cago Pneumatic Tool company, where he worked in direct produc- tion. Because of his practical back ground, MT. Collura has been able to solve many difficult design and material problems, besides aiding in solving mechanical and other en- gineering problems.
 His subject Design and Product Development for the Future" is of interest to advertising and mar keting men in view of the changes which must occur in postwar busi- ness and industry.
 Of all the new inventions and constantly improved products pro- gressively introduced in the last few decades, many of them are now be- ing used exclusively for destruction and protection. The big problem will be their adaptation for greater convenience, comfort and pleasure in the peace which will follow.
 Design and re-design will play an important part in such adaptations, while todays increasing tendency to- wards greater mechanization in in- dustry and low cost production ideas and techniques will add its contribution to future product de- velopment in all lines of industry.

Fortresses Spearhead

CoSCo 0pCd1uCdu
 U. s. flying fortresses of the 18th Air Force spearheaded the assault with a powerful attack on the Istres Le Tube airfield near MarSeilles that left hangarS, warehouses and parked enemy planes ablaze. The bombers shot down 12 of 25 to 30 intercept ing German fighters.
 Minutes later, Marauder medium bombers blasted the nearby Salon airfield, while far to the east a con- siderable force of Allied raiders gave the Nazi-held Eleusis airfield near Athens it's second pounding in 24 hours.
 Still another attacking force bombed Sibenik harbor, half way up the Adriatic coast to Jugoslavia, and hit railway and road targets nearby.
 American ground troops returned to the attack on the Italian front, slashing back at the Germans in a series of counter blows that recap turned some of the ground lost to the NaZiS in the Venafro sector 24 hours earlier. British 9th Army pa- trols cut their way forward slightly north of Atessa, but elsewhere the Italian front showed little important change for the third consecutive day.
 Allied warplanes bombed and strafed the German-held lines and attacked shippings off the Adriatic coast.
 In Russia, the Red Army contin- ued to pound westward toward its 193p frontiers, centering the weight of its attack against the German defense bastion of Gomel, on the north-central front.
 Stronghold Battered
 Soviet artillery battered the doom- ed Nazi stronghold from the east bank of the Sozh river while an- other attacking column drove down the west bank of the stream almost to the gates of the city. Thiryt-fie miles to the west, a third Russian force frightened it's grip on the Gome1- railroad, sealing off that escape route for the almost encircled enemy.
 Northwest of Kiev, the Soviets fought their way to within six miles of Korosten, key railroad junc- tion on the Kiev-Warsaw and OdeS- sa-Leningrad lines, while southwest of Kiev another Rusc In army smashed back repeated German counter-a attacks, inflicting Il heavy losses on the enemy.
 In the Dnieper Bend, the Ger mans were reported losing heavily in almost continuous counter attacks against the enve' ping . ed Army front reports said some Nazi divi- sions of 15,00O men had been reduc- ed to as fey as 10 or 15 survivors. The crisis in Lebanon remained unbroken, although an armed truce prevailed in Beirut as the Lebanese awaited the outcome of French Gen. George Gatroux' efforts to settle the dispute on the spot. United Press Staff Correspondent Sam Souki re- ported from Beirut that LebaneSe guerrilla army was ready to go into action if the French refuse to re- lease their imprisoned leaders.
