Chinese Reds Take Tatuno
 NotionoIists Get
 Chengteh in 'Trodes

Peping, Aug. 3O-(UP)-Chiness Communists, led by makeshift tanks converted from trucks, reportedly captured Tatung today after a 25- day siege. At the same time. Ma tlonallst troops were reported to have captured Chengteh in reprisal for the seize.
 Both reports lacked official con. flrmation, but the ironic trade" ap- peared likely on the basis of pre- vious dispatches.
 Chinese newspapers said Nation- alist troops smashed into Chengteh, capital of Jehol Province, after a ten-day drive. Seven government armies took part in the attack and met only slight resistance, accord ing to field dispatches.
 The erstwhile Communist defend- CTS of Chengteh were reportedly fleeing to the northwest-blasting bridges and blowing up railways in the line of their retreat.
 The fall of Tatung, Nationalist junction in northern Shansi Pro- vince, was reported by Hsin Min Pao, Nanking newspaper. The re- port gave few details and indicated the city might have been in Com munist hands for 24 hours

Earlier Story Page 3

Frankfurt, Aug. 30.-CUP)-U. S military government legal officials at Stuttgart said today that Ameri- can counter-intelligence officers had ordered that charges against IS Germans seized as Soviet spies in the U. s. zone be dropped.
 Col. Juan Sedalio, chief of the American legal division in' the Wuerttemburg-Baden area, said to- day that he was instructed Tues day by "the legal advisor to coun- ter intelligence crops in Frank furt" to drop the charges.
 This instruction, he said, was received although intelligence of- ficers told him only last week to prepare proceedings against the Germans.
 No Explanation
 "As far as I am concerned" he said, the case is closed"
 It was not known whether the Germans still were in jail at Stutt- gart.
 There was no immediate explana- ton of the contradictory situation Yesterday counter intelligence spokesmen said that the 15 Ger mans would be tried by military government officials and that SC far as GIG is concerned the case is closed"
 Intelligence officials at U. s. headquarters disclosed yesterday that they had arrested Walter Kaz- marek and IA other Germans. They said Kazmarek admitted accept ing 5000 marks from the Russian repatriation mission in Frankfurt for supplying information on Amer ican troop movements late in 1945
 Belongs to Military
 A ranking spokesman of the head quarters intelligence office said to- day when advised of Sedalios at titude that the problem now be- longed to the military government.
 We are done with that matter, he said. We have nothing more to do with it and any trial will have to be handled by the military gov- ernment.'
 Public officials in Stuttgart dis claimed any knowledge of the case, which was followed by the GIG for nine months. GIG officials in Stuttgart who made the arrests re- fused to make any statement, re- ferring all quereis to Frankfurt.

Renoyated school buildings and new equipment will be in evidence when schools reopen Sept. 4, as the result of extensive work completed by contractors and regular Educa- tion Department employees during the summer months.
 Continuing vast program of school repairs, which went into full swing two years ago, the Depart ment of Education arranged for innumerable jobs throughout the city's schools when classes were out of session.
 An expenditure of approximately $500, ,000 has been made for repairs since the start of the year, school officials estimate. The program has included jobs ranging from plant ing new lawns and replacing win dow shades to installing boilers and oil burners and setting up a new power line.
 Some Postponed
 A main drawback to the Board of Education's repair plans has been the continued shortage of materials.

Lynch Boom ForCongress Is Discussed
 Former Official,
 Back From Army,
 Suggested in 5th

Atty. J. Gregory Lynch, former City Corporation Counsel, who was discharged from the U. s. Army Sunday, was today viewed by Wa terbury Democratic Party leaders as possible candidate for Congress from the Fifth District.
 When questioned today local ad- mlnistration leaders told The Dem ocrat that Attorney Lynch would make an excellent candidate for Congress.
 The former city official, who re- signed to enter the U. s. Army in 1922, has just completed service as a first lieutenant. A former member of the Democratic State Central Committee and long active in poli- tics Lynch was mentioned fre- quently as a candidate at last nights gathering of Waterbury Democrats at the Democratic Wom- ems Booster Club dinner.
 Attorney Lynch. it is reported, is not interested ll the nomination but sources today declared it was possible he could be prevailed upon to accept. He has not been definite ly approached by party leaders.
 Political speculation led to the possibility that Attorney Lynch may be returned as Corporation Coun- sel by the resignation Of incumbent Attorney Maurice T. Healey. While this leads to the further specula- tion that Attorney Healey might be offered the congressional nomina- ton, this seems to be written off by the fact the latter is not a war vet eran. State party leaders definitely seek veterans on the ticket.
 Candidates for the Fifth District nomination are numerous and var jed. To date Raymond J. Fitzpatrick of Waterbury, former U. s. Marine, is the only one in the field with pledged delegates from outside of his own city. Fitzpatrick has re- ceived the pledged support of An sonia's l2 delegates.
 Others having entered or being considered are Patrick Kelley of Waterbury. John Reardon, instruc- tor at Taft School, WatertoWn, Warden Leo Brophy of Naugatuck, Edward Radzevich of Torrington, and Mayor Cornelius Caldwell of Derby.
 It seems certain at this time that a candidate will be presented by the Waterbury forces. This would tend to boil down the candidates to Fitzpatrick, Kelley and Attorney Lynch.

Consumer Goods Output Passes Pre- War Leuels
More Money IsAvoiIabIe For Buyers
 Production Chief
 Says Employment
 High, Work Steady

Washington, Aug. 3O.-CUP)- Americas basic industries were re- ported operating at virtual capa- city output today with production of consumer durables in many cases surpassing pre-war levels.
 But Civilian Production Chief John D. Small in an otherwise rosy forecast, made it plain that labor trouble or imitation can still up- set the industrial economy.
 Not only are more goods being produced. Small said, but with ciV- ilian employment at an all-time high, more ready money is avail able to buy them with.
 "The stop-and-go output of ma terials and parts which has been ob- structing volume manufacturing has now been replaced by continuous, high-level production, he said in monthly report.
 That means that industry is within sight of full production Of finished goods if industrial peace continues"
 Small said the gross national product" in the second quarter of 1946 reached an annual rate of Sl30 GOO, 100000, figured in 1939's uninflated dollars This is IT per cent more than in 1941 and 45 per cent over 1939
 In the current quarter, he said, output may approach within per cent of an all-time peak rate Of SAP. GOO. GOO, 900, set in the War-pro- ducing second quarIr of 1945.
 Small said that with the closing of war plants it was expected less money would remain in circulation. Actually, the amount of money in circulation has been climbing since March, and has reached new peak.
 Consumer incomes In April. May and June were at an annual rate of s161 ,0oe 900 O00-the highest since the second quarter of 1945, when swollen by war spending, they reached s163 900, 0oo,O 900.
 Actually, since income taxes are lower, spendable income in the 1e46 period was higher, Small said.
 Small said a shortage of freight ears is blocking further increases Confin,1ed Page l0-(CONSUMER)
