ern Europe during the night, with the main weight of bombs con- centrated on railway yards at Haine-St. Pierre, 18 miles east of Mons, Belgium, an airfield and sea- plane base near Brest on the Chan. nel coast, and other military ob- jectiveS along the French coast.
 Subsidiary attacks were made on the Germany railway junction and industrial center of Osnabruck on one of the main routes from Berlin to the invasion coast and on an unidentified objective in the Ruhr Valley. Ten planes were lost in the widespread raids and in mine-laying operations.
 Britain's four-engined night concentrated a heavy weight of explosives on targets in occupied territory, an early announcement revealed, and Nazi broadcasts indi- cated that Mosquito bomberS may have penetrated northwest and southwest Germany.
 4,O00 Planes
 More than 4,00O Allied planes believed new record-participated in yesterdays dawn-to- dusk attacks on Germany, France and Belgium, with nearly half the force pounding Berlin, for the second time in 24 hours, and the aircraft center of Brunswick.
 The Germans risked hundreds of their fighters in @ futile effort to halt the aerial invasion of their dying capital, but paid for the ef- fort with 119 planes. Thirty-six Fly ing Fortresses and Liberators and 13 lighters were lost.
 With nearly 4,000 tons of bombs dropped on the city and its environs in A hours. Berlin suffered its heaviest daylight blows of the war, but strict censorship prevented word of the effects of the bom- bardment from leaking to the out side world.
 Another Force
 Another force of Liberators hit railway yards near Belgium later in the day, while Fortresses struck at military installations in the Pas de Calais and Cherbourg areas of the French invasion coast. Intense anti-aircraft fire was encountered and five bombers were lost.
 More than 1,500 American and British Medium, light and fighter bombers also pounded assorted tar- gets in France and Belgium con- tributing to Germany'S Atlantic wall defenses.

 Theresa and her girl friend. Jane Williams of Dover Plains, also ib, decided 1t would be fun if Jane wrote to Mary Louise posing as q man. So the malls soon were dood- ed with billets-doux. signed by one Robert William O'Keefe" lJanel, who was "an ie-yeaF-old heir with saddle horses all over the place, ly' cried footmen, parloF maids and 20-Toom mansion"
 Robert William OKeefe" grew in stature in the fertile imagination Of Jane with each succeeding letter and Mary Louise answered all with fevered, childish passion,
 The hoax took on Q more serious aspect last week when "Okeete" received . telegram, iIl care os Theresa, stating that Mary Louise would arrive Friday to mary" him. The panieky girls seraped together enough money to telephone Mary teaTtully explained things, It was Leulse's father in Manchester, and too late, Mary Louise already had Left home; reported by police theT as missing, Grant C, Carr, the father, said he would come at once.

Soviet assault units advanced in small parties, each with the mdi- Wdual task of knocking out an in- dividual firing point. Armor-pierc- ing shells blasted the main posi- tons, while smaller guns concen- trated on the enemy personnel. So- viet tommy gunners under the pro- testion of the barrage mopped up the enemy gun crews individually.
 Hurricane Bombardment
 Attacking under cover of a hur- ricane sea and air bombardment. the Russians advanced up to four miles in two days through a maze of Notifications that resisted 250- day German siege in 1940-4l and reached what 6 communique des- cfibed as the nearest approaches" to the big naval base.
 The assault ended an i8-day Hull in fighting in the Crimea following the Red Army's lightning conquest of the entire peninsula with the exception of 8 40-square-mile beach head around Sevastopol.
 The attack was believed designed to wipe out a bothersome enemy pocket now far to the rear of the fighting fronts in advance of the launching of the main spring-sum- mer offensives to the west in con- junction with an Allied landing in western Europe.
 North of Sevastopol, Soviet troops and tanks drove through to the north shore of Sevastopol Bay with the capture of western Inkerman lighthouse, ih miles northeast of the naval base itself, splitting off enemy forces to the west from the main garrison across the bay.
 Other Russian shock troops preached strong defenses arrayed along an eight-mile height streteh- ing from InkeTman, two miles northeast of 6evastopol, to Karan. six miles to the south, with an ate tack SO powerful that the "stupe- fled" enemy abandoned one posi- ton after another, the Soviet high command said.
 Near Mt Sapoun southeast Of Seyastopol, more than 4.000 enemy dead were counted. ThlTty-six fire ing positions and 2T blockhouses were blown up by the advancing SoYiets and many prisoners and much booty taken.
 Develop Success
 Developing their success" the Soviet midnight eommunique said, Soviet troops dislodged the Ger mans from number of heights and defense strongholds and started fighting on the nearest approaches to EeyAstop0l"
 Swept up in the advance were Tnkerman Itself; LyublImoyka, three miles north Of BeYastopol and Ka- ran, six miles south ol Beyastopol, as well as nearly 6 dozen other strong points.
 While Russian ground troops closed in on the bealeeed fortress. planes Of the ned banner fleet sasnk four transports tOtalllng 10000 tom, a patrol boat and seven hlgh-speed landing barges in an attack on a convoy endeayoring to eyaeuate German and Romanlai troops from the naval base. Other ships were damaged.
 German attacks in the stanlsla- WOW area of old Poland and vest of Iaai in RomaniA were thrown back in fierce fighting. Some 900 Germans were killed or wounded in a hAnA-to.hAna enaaaammnt anaaah.

(Continued from Page D were striking hard for a knockout blow against the remnants of the once-formidable Japanese army drawn up around Kohima.
 In three days of furious fighting from May 4 to 6. at least 750 Jap onese were kfiled and further heavy casualties have been inflicted since that date" the communique said
 Heavy Cost
 Allied observers believed the Bri- tiSh offensive and unsuccessful Jap anese counter attacks had cost the invaders about half their original striking force in the Kohima area estimated at one time as high as 10000 men.
 Official reports said the British 14th Army had thrown huge ar- mored semi-circle around the west ern and northern sides of Kohima and were rolling headlong over Jap aneSe Qualifications. The enemy, outgunned and apparently lacking armored support. counter attacked recklessly. only to be slaughtered by British gunfire.
 Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's southeast Asia command said a communique issued here yesterday had reported enormously that the Japanese had started a general of- fensive in the Manipur Hills. It was explained that the mistaken communique resulted from a trans mission error.
 Imphal Front
 On the Imphal front, Allied forces also were on the offensive. although the Japanese threw in medium tanks in several fruitiess counter attacks along the Palel road. Large formations of American and British heavy and medium bombers joined in the battle for Imphal yes. terday with a smashing daylight attack on the enemy positions around Moirang, 25 miles south of the city. The bombers touched off large fires and explosions in the target area, supporting an ate tack by British tanks and ground troops that drove the enemy from a village six miles north of M0iTang.

 Prosecutor Hummel called Taller to identify number of books ex- titled Final List Register of Voters, Ward 2, District S." beginning with October 1889.
 Taller said that he and the Demo- cratic Registrar of Voters were re- sponsible for the correctness of names appearing on the list. On cross examination he said he had the assistance of canvassers, who in 1889 were William J. Root and Dr. Michael Anthony.
 Asked if he knew Stolh, Taller said he had come in contact with him since he became & selectman and had heard of him casually since 1887.
 Did you know of any reason why his name should not be on that list" Cassidy asked.
 Taller replied that he did not.
 When did you first get such in- formation?"
 Anonymous Call
 T got an anonymous call or Tuesday in the last week of March at 12:30 a. m."
 Cassidy then asked Taller if he knew Bill Root, your canvasser in l939." When Taller replied that he did, he then asked him, twill you say to this court that you never told Bill Root that you knew of Stolfi's ineligibility to vote. and intended to hold it over him?"
 Taller denied the assertion. which seemed to point to the later intro duction of Root as a defense witness.
 Cassidy then returned to the anonymous telephone call. and ask ed what he did afterwards. Taller said he talked to . gentleman" who advised him to take 1t to the mayor. When Cassidy demanded to know the name of the gentleman. Taller hesitatingly replied "J. War ren Upson."
 While cross-examining Taller on the voters lists. Cassidy declared that he had the responsibility of inyesti- gating qualifications of voters, and if he failed in this. then he him self is subject to arrest"
 "FaileF has erased names on that list without any prosecution being made" Cassidy declared.
 Cassidy took unusually wide latt- tllde in his cross examination, claiming that the question Of in- tent in the mind Of the accused als lowed him to do 90,
 Testimony Allowed
 Judge Nathan Reabaek Of hew Haven allowed most Of Cassidy's examinations, tn spite Of objections from Prosecutor Hummel that he was trying to establish his defense through eF0ss-examination.
 In defending his cross examine ton, Cassidy explained that he was testing the eredibility 0f the witness and added.
